Reilly paused for a moment and let out a long sigh.

"I understand your intentions, and I also know that I still have the strength to fight.

I am very healthy now. Even if I cannot reach the peak level of the past, there is no problem for me to fight for another ten years.

However, even if I go to sea again, I will probably stand in the ranks of pirates!

You...hey!

Although you are magnanimous and all-encompassing, you can accept pirates, navy, CP, Shichibukai, and even the revolutionary army.

But have you considered my position?

I have been just a pirate all my life, and I don’t want to change my stance for the rest of my life, so do you want me to fight with those old friends before I die?"

After the words fell, Rayleigh slowly stood up and came to Gawain kindly.

After lightly patting Gawain's shoulder, Rayleigh shook his head and said regretfully.

"Tell me that piece of information. After listening, it's time for me to give you an accurate answer, Gawain!"

"OK."

Looking at Rayleigh who seemed to have made up his mind, Gawain raised his eyebrows at the briefing in Kalifa's hand.

“If you want to work on this sea, enough manpower is essential.

Although our current team is full of elites, it is not enough, far from enough!

Therefore, this person with the ability to burn the fruit is my next recruitment target.

Mr. Rayleigh, do you think I can let him board my ship?"

"Ha ha!"

Riley smiled very happily.

"Who is that guy? He actually makes you value it so much. Burning fruit? It's indeed a good fruit!

However, why do you think that whether to recruit him or not will affect my judgment?

You may have thought wrong, my mind will not be affected by just any young man, you thought he was..."

Suddenly, Leili suddenly became silent, then he widened his eyes, looked at Gawain in shock, and asked loudly.

"Wait a minute, what's his last name!"

"Old man, answer my question first. Do you think I can let him board my ship?"

Gawain asked with a smile. Faced with this problem, Rayleigh finally became more cautious.

"Even Big Bear and Jinbei are standing behind you. He is just a young man. As long as you are serious enough, I don't think he can escape from your grasp!"

After Rayleigh finished speaking, he immediately looked into Gawain's eyes expectantly. Facing Rayleigh's anxious eyes, Gawain smiled and nodded.

"It seems that you also think I can do it. By coincidence, I think so too.

Although it is definitely not easy to recruit this guy, it may even be more troublesome for this guy to be older than you.

But I believe that he will be my strength.

So, let’s talk about something that always interests you, his full name is Postcat D. Ace.”

"Ace!!!"

Lei Li glared, how could he not know the meaning of this name!

Ace is the name of Roger's sword!

“But why Boscat?!!”

Rayleigh looked at Gawain solemnly, he was serious!

Across the way, looking at the impatient Rayleigh, Gawain laughed teasingly.

"Haha, okay, okay, Boscat is his mother's surname. As for his father, haven't you already guessed it?"

The moment Gawain finished speaking, everyone present widened their eyes. Except for Empress Hancock, everyone including Gion looked at the briefing in Kalifa's hand in shock.

Even Kalifa herself picked up the briefing in astonishment. When she told Kaku and others to collect this information, she really didn't expect this person's true identity!

At the same time, Gawain continued to say with a smile.

"If you don't take into account the surname he changed himself, which comes from his mother's surname, then his name should be called.

Gol D. Ace!

He is the only descendant of the Pirate King.

Roger’s son!”

"What the hell!"

Rayleigh rolled his eyes fiercely, then he laughed and rubbed Gawain's hair.

While messing up Gawain's hair, Rayleigh put his hands on Gawain's shoulders and chuckled.

"My experience is indeed effective. From the beginning, I never said no to rejection.

Otherwise, you see, I almost became a joke in their mouths!

Anyway, you win, Gawain.

But...but you don't have martial ethics!

Do you know how long I have been waiting for your recruitment? Do you know how many excuses I have prepared to deal with you?

In order to deal with your kid's mouth, I have been unable to sleep at night in the past half month!"

Having said this, Rayleigh let go of Gawain's shoulders in displeasure.

"As a result, when things came to a head, you actually prepared such a big gift for me to bully me, an old man in my sixties!"

Speaking of this, Rayleigh patted Gawain hard.

Seeing Gawain gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Reili smiled with satisfaction and continued.

"No need to say more, I will join your ship. As for what I said before, there is no ship in this era that can carry me.

Haha, you know, I am sure of one thing now, that is, after you walk into this sea, a new era will come soon!

This era can’t support me, so I’ll go to the next era!”

Having said this, Rayleigh came to Kalifa and held Ace's briefing tightly in his hand.

"Gawain, even if there is no information about Roger's son, I am probably ready to board the ship.

After all...if it's just a fight, you are definitely no match for me. You're still far from it.

But when it comes to chatting, I am far from your opponent. Although I have been preparing for a long time, I have already been prepared to be persuaded by you.

I have lived with you for three months. I like your character very much. You are not the trash of the Celestial Dragons, but a unique thinker who has never appeared on this sea.

At the same time, you not only have unique but extremely desirable thoughts, you are also a strong person with sufficient willpower and action.

Even I can’t help but look forward to seeing what you can do in the future!

Of course, that was just what I thought in the past. As for now, since you gave me this briefing.

Then my mind has changed!

If you want to let me board the ship, you must hand over this Ace to my personal guidance. I want him to be my adopted son, haha!!!"

"oh?"

Hearing Reilly's words, Gawain suddenly laughed and hit Mr. Reilly on the shoulder.

"Are you sure you want Ace to be your adopted son, old man?

As far as I know, Esco is also Garp’s adopted grandson!
