Chapter 166 If Tom were allowed to hide the key
Rayleigh's glasses seemed to be shining with wisdom: "Brother, do you not want your identity to be exposed?"
"Yeah." Seeing him like this, Zhang Da was no longer panicked. "It's not just me. You don't want your identity to be exposed, right? "
Seeing the two of them chatting, the slave next to them was even more curious: "You are so familiar with Tianhui, old man, who are you?"
Rayleigh did not answer his question. Instead, his eyes widened slightly. An invisible ripple spread out with him as the center, and all the slaves in the store fell down with their eyes rolled back.
"Ah? What's going on?" Rui Mengmeng was surprised. She had never seen such a scene before.
"This is the Conqueror's Haki that Jinbei mentioned last time." Artoria explained, "It can be understood as a mental blow that makes them faint."
Because Rayleigh's control was very precise and did not affect Zhang Daye and the others, Altria did not resist.
"If I'm exposed, it won't be a big trouble." Rayleigh showed a gentle smile, "It's much easier to talk this way."
The exposure he mentioned refers to exposure to the public. At that time, the Navy Headquarters would have to send an admiral to express their opinion just for the sake of face, and he would have no peace .
"It's convenient for you to talk, but it's inconvenient for us to save people..." Zhang Da also complained, "More than 30 people fainted at once, what do you want us to do?"
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry." Rayleigh laughed heartily, "But don't worry, I know my limits. They will wake up soon."
Zhang Da also found the key, opened the door of a slave's cabinet, and tried slapping his face, pinching his philtrum, and pouring cold water on him, but failed to wake him up. It seemed that this was not just ordinary dizziness.
"Let's move the people outside in first, and then remove their collars and handcuffs." Zhang Da had no other choice but to do what he could and wait for them to wake up.
"Why do you want to do this?" Rayleigh asked.
"Your tone makes it sound like we are doing something bad." Zhang Da also said, "We just do what we think we should do and what we can do. Why? To make ourselves feel better."
Rayleigh could understand Zhang Daye's feelings to some extent. When encountering something he didn't like, he would try to intervene. However, he felt that this approach was too narrow-minded and advised: "This won't change anything. As long as those people still exist, more people will continue to become slaves."
"Can't it change anything?" Zhang Da also took off a collar and threw it on the ground with a crisp metallic clang. "At least when this collar hits the ground, the fate of this person has changed. At least it's better than doing nothing, at least it's better than doing nothing and still making sarcastic remarks."
"I mean young people like you who have potential should..." Rayleigh paused and shook his head. "Forget it. I'm already retired. You're still young. You'll see things clearly sooner or later."
"Oh." Zhang Da didn't want to pay attention to this kind of mysterious person. He knew the truth but refused to tell it. It was so annoying. Why didn't he wait until the end of One Piece before letting me travel through time, so as not to be kept in suspense by this kind of person.
Reilly was not in a hurry to come out. He just sat inside and watched Zhang Daye and the others busy themselves, opening and locking the cabinets one by one, but seemed to intentionally ignore a few people, including him.
At this time, Zhang Da was already taking Tom to search the store for clothes and valuables. Rayleigh couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you save those people too?"
"How can a bounty hunter save pirates? At most, they can just give them a quick death." Zhang Da also threw the key in his hand to Tom, "Keep the key safe. If someone steals it, you won't get any milk tomorrow morning."
Tom was horrified. The consequence was too serious. He felt unsafe when looking at the key in his hand.
Rayleigh laughed. Was he looking for an excuse to give him the key? The young man had his own principles and couldn't save his reputation by saving him, a pirate, so he came up with this idea.
However, Tom ran around left and right, trying to find a place to hide the key. Finally, an idea came to him. He opened his mouth and swallowed the key with a gulp, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Rayleigh: ...
He was now sure that this was the cat he had seen. Wouldn't he die? And he seemed to have thought too much just now. It was embarrassing.
After looting necessary things for a while, the people who were stunned slowly woke up. Zhang Daye and his men gave them travel expenses as usual and let them change their clothes and leave.
Several pirates ended their sinful lives before they woke up. During this time, Rayleigh seemed to want to save them, but in the end he didn't.
After all, he is not the nanny of all pirates, and he wants to wait here quietly for the person who will inherit Roger's will without making too much noise.
Although the rescued slaves had not figured out why they fainted just now, nor did they ask who their benefactor was, the joy of regaining their freedom made them ignore these questions. They left here happily, waiting to leave by boat early the next morning.
Finally looking at the empty shop, Zhang Da said, "Uncle, are you going to leave or not? We are going to burn the house down."
"You really have no sympathy for the elderly." Rayleigh reached out and grabbed his collar, which suddenly deformed and broke. In an instant he threw it into the air, making a bang.
Then he broke the handcuffs and shackles, moved his hands and feet a little, and walked out of the shop leisurely.
This set of movements was extremely smooth, and no one knew how many times he had practiced it, and he had cheated several people who bought him.
Zhang Da also took out a match, lifted the sole of Tom's foot and struck it, then threw it at the door. A small corner of the wooden door frame was ignited, and the flame was about the size of a candle.
Rayleigh was puzzled. He knew about arson. After all, he met Roger while wandering around because his house was burned down.
If you want to set a fire, you should at least use a torch, at least you should pile up firewood around the house. How can you just throw a match and wait?
However, something magical happened next. Zhang Da, who was also far away, blew gently, and the small flame suddenly grew rapidly and covered the entire store in an instant.
This is not the most exaggerated thing. The most exaggerated thing is that in less than a second the entire store turned into black dust and the fire was extinguished instantly.
Rayleigh dared to swear to heaven that it would be impossible for a normal house to be burned so cleanly even if it took three days and three nights!
"Is he a person with special abilities?" Rayleigh could only make this " common sense" guess.
Altria and Rui Mengmeng were already used to this kind of thing. Zhang Da was too lazy to explain to Rayleigh and casually waved his hand and left the spot: "Please pretend that you have never seen us. Anyway, I won't admit it even if you tell me."
"Just do it because it's what you have to do?" Rayleigh looked at Zhang Daye's back, "Is this also considered 'freedom'?"
