One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 59 An Unexpectedly Successful Request for Help!

The sea breeze still howled atop the cliff.

Rayleigh at his peak and Marco in the future, two legends from different eras, are having a great time chatting over a pot of strong liquor.

They seemed to have endless stories to tell and countless emotions to express.

Chen Ye stood quietly to the side, without making a sound to disturb them.

He could sense the wonderful friendship between the two that transcended time and space, and he was happy to let them reminisce.

However, they didn't travel back in time to reminisce.

As the two became increasingly engrossed in their conversation, Marco seemed to have forgotten all about what he was supposed to do after traveling back in time. Chen Ye knew he couldn't wait any longer.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, may I bother you?"

Chen Ye's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the two of them.

Marco and Rayleigh stopped talking at the same time and looked over simultaneously.

Marco looked at Chen Ye with a hint of apology on his face, because he had been so engrossed in the conversation that he had almost forgotten the important matter.

Rayleigh remained as calm and collected as ever, but the look in his eyes behind his glasses seemed to reveal that he had already seen through everything.

Chen Ye didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Rayleigh, we have taken the liberty of traveling through time and space because we have an extremely urgent matter to ask for your assistance."

His tone was extremely solemn.

However, before Chen Ye could finish speaking...

Rayleigh waved his hand, picked up the empty wine jug, shook it, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"No need to say anything more."

He spoke casually.

"Is it because of that idiot Roger's son?"

Chen Ye's prepared remarks suddenly got stuck in his throat.

He was completely stunned.

Even Marco, standing next to him, looked completely taken aback.

Seeing the two men's shocked expressions, Rayleigh seemed to find it amusing. He put the wine jug aside and slowly said:

"I agree."

"Count me in then."

boom!

These three simple words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Chen Ye and Marco's minds!

agreed?

Just like that... you agreed?!

Chen Ye was completely stunned. He subconsciously asked, "Mr. Rayleigh, you...you just agreed like that?"

This is going so smoothly it's almost unbelievable!

"What? Is that strange?"

Rayleigh countered with a playful smile.

"Of course it's strange!"

Chen Ye blurted it out almost without thinking.

He composed himself and expressed the shock he felt.

"To be honest, before we traveled back in time, we actually already looked for you from our era."

"However, you declined our request at that time, citing your retirement."

"So I never expected that you, at the peak of your life, would agree so readily!"

These words piqued Rayleigh's interest as well.

"Oh?"

He adjusted his glasses, his golden hair fluttering slightly in the wind.

"Did I, in my old age, refuse?"

"Heh, that's quite interesting."

Rayleigh pondered for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly.

"Perhaps, I will have some unspeakable secrets in the future."

However, I have no reason to refuse right now.

His gaze turned to the vast, turbulent sea in the distance, his eyes becoming deep and distant.

"Roger may be a bastard and an idiot, but I can't just stand by and watch his son get into trouble."

"and……"

Rayleigh suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Ye, a long-lost burning fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

"The thought of having the chance to meet and even fight my future self is incredibly exciting!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye and Marco were stunned once again.

Why is he like Whitebeard, wanting to fight me?

Chenye and Marco thought that only Whitebeard had that kind of idea!

I never expected Rayleigh to have this idea!

Indeed, the ideas of the strong are both unique and similar!

"Don't worry, there will definitely be an opportunity!"

Overjoyed, Chen Ye immediately stepped forward.

"Mr. Raleigh, please forgive me!"

Before he finished speaking, his hand shot out with lightning speed and gently pressed on Rayleigh's shoulder.

hum!

An invisible golden rune instantly disappeared into Rayleigh's body.

"Ding! 』

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully applied a [Space-Time Imprint] to [Peak Silvers Rayleigh]!"

You can summon this unit to your current time and space at any time!

Become!

Chenye's heart was filled with immense joy!

The most difficult hurdle of this trip was solved perfectly in such an easy and effortless way!

Things went more smoothly than I expected!

"Alright, Mr. Rayleigh, Brother Marco, we don't have much time left."

Chen Ye withdrew his hand and took a step back.

"We must find our last ally immediately!"

Rayleigh felt the strange spatial power within his body, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he didn't ask any questions, he just nodded heartily.

"Go."

"Call me anytime you need me."

Marco also stood up and bowed solemnly to Reilly.

"Mr. Rayleigh, thank you! Until we meet again!"

After saying goodbye, Chen Ye didn't linger at all.

With a thought, he tore open a brand new spacetime rift in front of him!

This time, the other side of the rift is no longer the tranquility of the past, but a future filled with chaos and destruction!

"Walk!"

Chen Ye pulled Marco, who was still somewhat dazed, along and stepped into the portal of time and space.

. . . . .

Passing through bizarre and fantastical time-space tunnels.

The moment their feet touched solid ground, an extremely strong smell of gunpowder, scorched earth, and blood rushed into their nostrils!

All that could be seen were broken walls and ruins.

The massive building was reduced to ruins, and the ground was covered with crisscrossing, terrifying slash marks and bottomless pits.

The sky was shrouded in thick, dark clouds, and a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

They were standing atop a gigantic, skull-shaped floating island!

Here, a world-shaking battle has just taken place!

Marco stared blankly at the scene before him, a scene that was both familiar and strange.

His pupils contracted sharply, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"here it is……"

He spoke in a dry voice, with a hint of uncertainty and trembling.

"Wano Country?!"

Chen Ye stood beside him, looked around, and nodded, sensing the lingering aura of earth-shattering dominance in the air.

"That's right."

His tone was calm, yet he revealed a shocking truth.

"To be more precise, it is Wano Country, the summit of Onigashima."

"It seems we arrived at just the right time."

"It happened to be after Luffy defeated Kaido."

What?!

Marco's mind went blank for a moment, as if "buzzing"!

He turned his head sharply and stared intently at Chen Ye, as if to confirm whether he had misheard.

"What...what did you say?!"

Marco's voice was completely cut off by extreme shock, becoming incredibly shrill.

"Straw Hat Boy..."

"Defeated... Kaido?!"
