Chapter 494 Don't fly over it

Reg, Herman, and Labster were almost scared to death. Is that the "Pluto" Rayleigh? I thought he was not here, how come he suddenly appeared again! ?

"Don't be like this, Mr. Rayleigh..." Marco smiled, "If it was Dad who came to see you, the Admiral of the Navy would probably have trouble sleeping."

As he spoke, he looked at the woman beside Rayleigh who had just walked in through the door. She was tall, beautiful and quiet, and was walking straight towards them.

Kujo Jolyne...

The name flashed through Marco's mind.

"Finally you're here." Lin Qi said, "I thought I would stay out all night today."

"Because you haven't been back for a long time." Robin nodded and looked at Marco.

Marco was stunned and became suspicious. He looked back and forth between the woman, Jolyne Kujo, and the "Tequila" he was eating next to him.

At this time, the long-legged tribe member Reg, the human Herman, and the fishman Labster had all stood up, looking excited.

"Is it you?" Robin quickly recognized these three people. They were the three slaves he released at the door before entering the auction venue on Island No. 1.

Reg and Herman were a little at a loss, "I haven't thanked you for your kindness yet..."

"I will never forget your kindness in giving me a new life!" said the fishman Labster in a deep voice, his eyes slightly red.

Robin sighed and said, "You don't have to thank me..."

"If you have anything to say, let's go outside and talk." Rayleigh took a sip of wine at the door.

Since Pluto had spoken, everyone agreed and left the hotel one after another.

Marco and Rayleigh walked side by side, "I didn't expect you to live in seclusion here."

"You never expected that, did you? I didn't expect that either!" Rayleigh drank his wine and laughed, "I almost died at sea, and was rescued and brought here, so I just stayed here..."

Marco was silent.

Many years ago, after the Pirate King Roger was executed, he had also heard about the battle in which the "Navy Hero" Garp and the "Black Arm" Zephyr teamed up to ambush the "Pluto" Rayleigh... Until the news that broke out a while ago, most people in the world, including Marco, thought that "Pluto" Rayleigh and the remnants of the Pirate King had been wiped out by the navy in some corners of the ocean.

Unexpectedly, after being rescued, Rayleigh has been living in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago under the nose of the navy.

"Why are you looking back all the time..." Rayleigh followed Marco's line of sight and saw the couple Jolyne Kujo and Giorno walking side by side.

Marco said slowly: "To be honest, I didn't come here for you this time..."

Rayleigh took a sip of wine and asked curiously, "If you came here for Giorno, why are you still standing here?"

"What?" Marco didn't understand for a moment.

Rayleigh raised his voice: "Giorno!"

The young man in the scarf who was walking and chatting with Robin raised his head.

"Which one do you like better, Jolyne Kujo or Boa Hancock?"

"You're already so old," Lynch rolled his eyes, "just stop gossiping, okay?"

Rayleigh laughed loudly, and Marco was shocked. He looked at the scarf-wearing young man in disbelief...

"Are you Giorno?" Marco came to Lynch, and the trio of long-legged people, fishmen, and humans following Robin thought they had heard it wrong.

"Yeah." Lin Qi asked curiously, "Why, doesn't it look like it?"

Do you look a bit like him?! Reg, Labster, and Herman were all shocked.

Did he use some kind of Devil Fruit ability to change his appearance? Marco naturally guessed.

Robin reminded: "It doesn't look like it."

Lin Qi touched the scarf around his neck and suddenly realized, "I was wondering why it seemed like..."

As he spoke, his figure swayed, rising higher and higher, his entire body expanding several times as if a balloon was inflated, and his clothes were torn apart with a "crackling" sound...

“…I feel a little uncomfortable holding it in!”

His facial muscles twisted and returned to his original appearance. He rubbed his face, and his voice became a little stronger than before.

Is the reaction too slow?! Herman was shocked. No, would a normal person be so depressed?! A monster... Long-legged Reg looked at this scene of a comeback and was a little stunned.

Marco breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really you, so scary... Is this some kind of devil fruit ability?"

Rayleigh drank his wine and said with a smile: "You are wrong, he is not using any devil fruit ability!"

"Huh?" Marco was stunned and subconsciously used his Observation Haki.

Just as he was about to look at Giorno, his eyes suddenly focused and he looked towards the side of Giorno and Jolyne Kujo, only to see a dark shadow hovering beside the two of them like a ghost!

“……?!”

When Marco was startled, a pair of narrow eyes lit up on the black shadow's face and were also staring at him quietly.

Rayleigh patted Marco's shoulder from behind and said with a smile, "How about it, a very nice young man, right?"

“…”

Marco's gaze moved between Jolyne Kujo, especially Giovanna Giorno and the black shadow of similar height and build next to him. Finally, he let out a long breath with a complicated expression, laughed and murmured, "I now believe... that Zephyr was faced head-on by Giorno..."

"What's wrong with him?" Lynch wondered.

"It seems..." Robin said calmly, "I discovered how powerful you are."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"What a slow reaction!" Lin Qi sighed.

What kind of reaction is that! The long-legged tribe, the human, and the fish-man trio shouted in their hearts, that's the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates...

Robin smiled and whispered to himself, "So, do you prefer Kujo Jolyne, or..."

Lin Qi stretched out his big hand, pressed her pretty face, and rubbed it without saying anything.

…

Led by Rayleigh, the group soon arrived at Xia Qi's extortion bar on Island 13...

Marco said to Lynch and Robin seriously: "I came to you because I have something to ask for."

…

…

On warships No. 30 to No. 79 in the Sabaody Archipelago and the surrounding waters, there were marines everywhere holding binoculars and observing the sky.

Suddenly, a Marine shouted, "It appears!"

Through his telescope, he saw a large bird of blue flame in the sky, taking off from the Sabaody Archipelago and flying towards the Red Earth Continent.

"Confirmed to be Marco, confirmed to be Marco!"

While the marines were communicating with each other, Marco, transformed into a blue-flame phoenix, spread his wings and flew through the sky.

Next to him was a black shadow holding a Den Den Mushi in its hand, following him slowly, flying side by side with him like a wingman.

Huh? "BIB" was suddenly surprised.

Marco flapped his wings to lead the way, but the direction of his flight was close to the cliff-like wall of the red earth continent. He deliberately took a longer detour before vertically rising to the top, sticking close to the red earth.

Behind the portal of the Den Den Mushi castle held by the Stand Armor, Lynch looked at the side that Marco had deliberately avoided, and asked curiously, "Why did you take such a long detour?"

"..." The Blue Flame Phoenix was silent for a moment, spread its wings and flew over the top of the red earth continent. In an instant, the sky and the sea became vast.

The sea horizon and the red earth continent vaguely formed an arc, and at the top of the red earth continent several thousand meters to the side, behind the heavy fog, there was an ancient city sleeping quietly. It was... Marijoa, known as the "Holy Land".

“Before Roger was executed, he had a last drink with his father.

"It was also after that day that my father gave me a serious exhortation..."

The blue flame phoenix carried the black ghost across the thick and towering red earth continent. Its slowly spoken voice was almost drowned out by the sound of the passing wind, and it slowly drifted into the ears of Lynch and Robin behind the portal of Den Den Mushi's castle.

"...Never fly directly over Marijoa!"

Robin was a little surprised when he heard this, while Lynch and "BIB" who was holding the Den Den Mushi seemed to be thinking about something.

His narrow eyes glowed with light. As his stand-in armor flew by the blue-flame phoenix, he looked back. The "holy land" standing on the top of the red earth continent was hidden in the thick fog. The farther it was, the less clear it was...
