One piece, rewarded thunder fruit at the beginning

"I want to buy information about someone from you."

"My charges are very expensive. Do you have enough Berries?"

"Of course!"

"So, whose information do you want?"

"The right hand of the Pirate King, Silvers Rayleigh, also known as 'dark king '!"

"What is your purpose?!" Shakky's face changed slightly.

Very few people knew about her relationship with Rayleigh. Apart from the old crew members of the Roger Pirates, no one knew that the legendary 'dark king' Rayleigh actually lived in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago, disguised as an old coating mechanic.

"Ms. Shakky, don't be nervous! We mean no harm!" Amber quickly explained.

"It was Crocus who introduced us here. Here is his letter of introduction."

Amber took out Crocus's letter and handed it to Shakky.

Shakky took the letter, read it for a while, then put it down.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, Crocus is still alive! You must be quite extraordinary to be recognized by Crocus! And you came to Rayleigh just for coating?"

"Coating is only part of it. 'dark king,' a living legend, how could we not want to meet him?" Amber explained.

He then pointed at his partners behind him. "My partners are making slow progress in Haki training. I hope to get guidance from Uncle Rayleigh, a Haki master."

Shakky nodded understandingly. "But you're unlucky. Rayleigh sold himself again. I don't know when he'll be back."

"Sold himself?" Nami asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Rayleigh loves gambling and drinking. My small business can't support his squandering, so he often sells himself to slave traders. After the auction, he knocks out the buyers and slave owners and frees the slaves, taking their property in the process," Shakky explained calmly, taking a puff of her cigarette.

"That's really cool. This Uncle Rayleigh must be a very cool person!" Franky said with great admiration.

"Yes! Yes!" Chopper echoed from the side.

"Haha, I've never heard anyone describe pirates as cool. Little Amber, your crew is really interesting!" Shakky laughed.

"Yes!" Amber also smiled slightly.

"But what a coincidence! I didn't expect that Uncle Rayleigh wouldn't..." Amber suddenly stopped talking.

His Observation Haki sensed a powerful aura approaching without any malice. It could only be Rayleigh.

"No, it should be just in time. Uncle Rayleigh will be back soon!"

"Squeak—" Sure enough, not long after Amber spoke, the bar door was pushed open, and an old man with white hair and a beard, wearing round glasses, entered.

The old man looked ordinary. His clothes were slightly sloppy, with a straight scar around his eye, and he wore slippers. Despite his unkempt appearance, he exuded a domineering aura that left a deep impression.

This was the right hand of the Pirate King, Silvers Rayleigh, also known as 'dark king.'

"Oh!? There are so many guests here today, it's really lively!" Rayleigh said with a smile as he walked in.

Shakky shook her head. "Rayleigh, these aren't ordinary guests. This is the famous 'Thor' and his partners, who came specifically to see you."

"Thor came here specifically to see me, a reclusive, ordinary old man?" Rayleigh asked with interest.

"Hahaha, if the famous 'dark king' and living legend were ordinary, then there would be no legends in this world!" Amber flattered him slightly.

As the saying goes, a compliment doesn't cost anything. Amber had nothing to lose by being polite.

"Uncle Rayleigh, I was introduced here by Senior Crocus. This is his letter of introduction." Amber handed the letter to Rayleigh.

"It's Crocus! It's been a long time since I last saw him!" Rayleigh quickly scanned the letter, confirming it was Crocus's handwriting and tone.

"How is Crocus now?" Rayleigh walked to a chair in front of the bar, sat down, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Crocus is still guarding Laboon at Twin Capes. We agreed to visit Laboon in two years!"

Amber briefly talked about the situation of Crocus, Laboon, and Brook.

"That's it! Laboon is still waiting there, and 50 years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"You must be one of the people Laboon has been waiting for. I didn't expect that there would be such a magical fruit that allows people to transcend death!" Rayleigh looked at Brook and said with a faint smile.

"Oh, hehe, I was surprised at first. It was probably because God wanted me to fulfill my promise to Laboon that he gave me another chance." Brook replied with emotion.

Rayleigh then looked at Amber again. "So, what is your purpose?"

Amber repeated what he had just told Shakky.

"Oh!? Do you want to challenge me?" Rayleigh's eyes flashed.

"Where, where, fighting other legendary pirates, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death. I hope Uncle Rayleigh will be merciful!" Amber said with a smile.

"Do you know about the Arlong Pirates?" Rayleigh suddenly changed the subject, his voice becoming deeper.

Rayleigh's move made the entire crew of the Shadow Pirates nervous. Amber had told them about the relationship between Rayleigh and Hachi before landing, but Hachi had died at Amber's hands.

After hearing this, Nami became instantly nervous and stood up to explain. "That is because..."

"Nami, let me speak!" Before she finished, Amber gently put his hand on Nami's head, rubbed it, and interrupted.

"The Arlong Pirates are all dead. I killed them," Amber faced Rayleigh.

"Then do you know my relationship with Hachi?" Rayleigh asked calmly after taking a sip of wine.

"I know, but I still wouldn't let him go! He killed my partner's mother, hurt my partner, and made my partner cry!"

Rayleigh stared at Amber, and the waves of Conqueror's Haki emanating from him were only directed at Amber.

Amber remained fearless and even picked up his wine and drank it.

Everyone else around them was very nervous. Suddenly, Rayleigh canceled his Conqueror's Haki and slumped in his chair.

"I had already anticipated this day when Hachi chose to follow Arlong to sea. Arlong's hatred for humans was too deep. How could Hachi not be affected by following him? One day, he would die at the hands of humans, here!" Rayleigh exclaimed.

"Although it's Hachi's fault, he saved me after all. I can't do nothing. I accept your challenge. Regardless of winning or losing, this matter will be settled, and it will be an explanation to Hachi."
