Creating Manga Of One Piece In Pirates World Become My Ultimate Goal!-Chapter 910: What Are the Limits of Haki in This World?

_________________ 

Moby Dick, the majestic vessel, continued sailing toward a specific destination, albeit at a noticeably slow pace. After all, there was no one on deck to guide it during the voyage.

Whether it was the navigator, the cook, the carpenter, or any member of Whitebeard's pirates, they were all gathered inside the art store located at the rear of the ship.

And the reason? Naturally, they were all engrossed in reading the One Piece manga.

...

Inside the "Moby Dick" art store, the atmosphere closely resembled that of most other bustling art stores, though this particular store seemed somewhat less crowded—only the members of the Whitebeard pirates and their trusted allies were present.

"Gurarara! It appears that Rayleigh is destined to work as a ship carpenter and serve as a personal bodyguard in his twilight years—what an amusing notion!"

Newgate burst into laughter upon witnessing Rayleigh's reappearance in the final scene of the manga so far.

"In training Luffy to become stronger, he may have believed that he had done everything he was supposed to do... yet he completely disregarded Ace's involvement during the Summit War. This decision is utterly baffling. Was it not his duty to sacrifice his life in order to save Ace? After all, did Ace not deserve to be heralded as part of the new generation?"

Jozu expressed his stance regarding Rayleigh's choices and his profound sorrow over Ace's departure.

"If this old man were to sacrifice his life in the Summit War, then who would be qualified enough to train Luffy over the next two years?" Marco wondered aloud.

"Gurarara! I believe that Rayleigh will still take on that role, and he will train Ace this time as well. After all, entering a war does not automatically seal one's fate. While my counterpart might perish, I do not think that will be the case for him."

Their father's remark left both of them silently contemplating the implications for a while.

"Alright, enough with the 'what ifs.' We cannot alter the events of the manga as we please; that is simply not within our power... Besides, even if the Dark King Rayleigh were to fall in battle, there remains the Mountain-Eater Gaban, who is more than capable of accomplishing what Rayleigh did—and then some."

Hearing their father's words, Vista couldn't help but wonder, "Yes, the third man of Roger's pirates—when might he finally appear in the manga's unfolding events?"

"And who knows..."

...

Chapter's Events:

––––––––––––––––––––––––––

"Hello there!"

"Rayleigh-san! Shakky!!" Nami beamed at the sight of the two as they arrived.

"It looks like the situation here has become a little complicated." It seemed as though Rayleigh had indeed brought along some rather disconcerting news.

...

"The marines?"

"Yes. They've mistaken the fake Monkey-chan's crew for the real thing and are now mounting a serious operation." Shakky, who possessed reliable information, explained, "I've been tapping their communications, so there's no doubt about it. I've informed Brook-chan of the situation as well, using the den-den mushi at the stadium. He should be joining us shortly."

Hearing that, Franky was not surprised. "Oh...? So he's abandoning his life as a star... that skeleton sure has guts."

On the other hand, Rayleigh was keen to educate Nami. "Nami-chan, I believe you are the navigator? Allow me to explain in detail how to direct a coating vessel. Make sure you pay close attention."

"R... Right!!" Despite her nervousness, Nami clenched her fists resolutely, clearly demonstrating her determination. "I'll do my best!"

"Well, what's this now? Everyone's tension seems to be on the rise! But, Rayleigh!! What about Luffy? He's still not..."

Usopp, who had been troubled by the ongoing mystery, interjected—he still hadn't heard any word about Luffy's arrival!

"Don't you worry. Luffy has already arrived on the island." Rayleigh's response was both clear and unambiguous. No one quite understood how he was so certain, but Usopp and the others trusted his words completely—their faces lighting up with happy smiles.

"That's nice to hear...!" Robin remarked with a smile.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––

As the sun shone over Baterilla Island, it signaled that half a day had passed. Although the current time in this locale was the afternoon, day and night in the art store blended together indistinguishably, discernible only by the large clock hanging on its walls.

After all, without that clock, most readers in the art store would lose track of time; those with specific tasks or purposes might inevitably forget. Yet with the clock hanging proudly inside, the readers could adjust their schedules without having to log into the global forum every time to check the time.

Ignoring the passage of time and its myriad mysteries, the readers were far more captivated by the unfolding events in the manga—especially now that the Dark King had made another striking appearance.

"This is true; it appears that Rayleigh and Shakky are doing a fantastic job supporting the crew."

"Man, Rayleigh hasn't forgotten even the smallest details—he's showing Nami exactly how to navigate a coated vessel."

"Oh, there's no doubt that this will require tremendous techniques; Nami must be mentally prepared for such a challenge."

"Man, this coating technique is so dangerous that even the global shipping company abandoned it entirely. Instead of using a coated sea train, they replaced it with instantaneous transfer points to and from Fishman Island."

"Of course it is dangerous—otherwise, why would only pirates dare to use it? First, the coating materials are extremely rare, found only in the Sabaody Archipelago. Second, the application on a ship must be performed with absolute precision; one small error could send the entire voyage spiraling into the depths of the sea."

"That is Rayleigh for you, man; he is the epitome of professionalism. His impeccable work can keep a vessel sailing time and time again."

Some of the residents of Baterilla extended the discussion about the vessel's coating process, yet most were unshakably confident in Rayleigh's abilities—if only because he was the Vice-Pirate King.

Regardless of his popularity here, after all, Roger's pirates—who were among them—spent a considerable amount of time here on Baterilla.

...

They weren't even far from this very spot, along one of the island's coasts, where the Oro Jackson was docked.

Inside the ship's art store, Rayleigh himself was reading the latest Chapter with a contented smile on his face.

"It seems that Nami is a bit nervous," Rayleigh observed.

"Of course she is —after all, she's still young. Wahahaha! What beautiful girl wouldn't be nervous in front of an old man like you while you offer her pointers!"

"Damn you! I may be old, but mark my words—you're as good as dead! Bfttt, hahaha!"

At the sound of Rayleigh's playful curses, even Roger's eyelashes trembled ever so slightly. These days, even joking around has become a challenge.

"Heh~ It appears that Luffy's Haki has grown stronger," Roger remarked with a sly smile.

"Did you notice that?" Rayleigh inquired with a matching smile.

"Certainly, given that it was so easily distinguishable the moment he entered the archipelago—composed of dozens of Groves—this implies one thing... his Haki is currently the strongest in the area alongside yours," explained Roger.

"That is why..." Upon hearing this, Shanks immediately understood the situation.

"So, when Haki grows even stronger, experts are able to sense each other's presence, isn't that right?" Shanks asked.

"Absolutely. At the expert level, one can even control just how much Haki other experts are able to detect... Luffy is fully aware of this fact, but to signal his arrival to my counterpart, he unleashed all of his Haki without reservation," Rayleigh replied with a calm smile.

"Expert level, huh? I wonder just what level my counterpart has actually reached."

"Your counterpart might very well be operating on an entirely different level from what has been revealed thus far," Roger said, gulping down his sake in delight. Then he added, "He could be at my level—or even higher."

"Higher?" Even Rayleigh, Gaban, and the rest of the crew could hardly believe what they had just heard; Roger had evaluated Shanks at a level that surpassed his own.

Who was Roger? He was the Pirate King... To have reached such a stage, his Haki, physical strength, and combat techniques must all be at the highest possible levels!

"Is there anything in this world that exceeds what is considered the highest achievable?" Rayleigh asked.

"Go and ask Rob... I wager that he has long surpassed my level already," Roger replied quietly.

At the mere mention of Rob's name, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over them all—how could they have so casually forgotten such a formidable presence?

"But Rob is beyond the bounds of normalcy... surely Shanks cannot be out of his mind as well," Gaban interjected.

Even the young Shanks nodded in agreement with Gaban's words.

"Well then, who really knows... In this world, everything has become possible. For now, let us finish this volume first."
