ke to gamble a lot, but I’ve lost all my money recently…”

Ian suddenly remembered something and reached into his pockets, but the check was missing.

“Do you have it?” Ian said: “Even if you want me to pay tuition fee, you can’t take all my money!”

Rayleigh reached for Ian’s check, handed it to him, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I just kept it for you, that’s all!”

Ian took the check, looked at it, but he didn’t put it back in his pocket.
Instead, he held it in his hand and handed it directly to Rayleigh.
Then he bowed down and said, “I sincerely want to learn from you.
Please accept me as your trainee! If tuition is needed, I will give you whatever amount you want!”

If all of his money is gone, he can still earn money again, but this opportunity may only come once, and he really can’t let it go.


“…” Rayleigh didn’t pick up the check, but instead, he fixedly looked at Ian.

After a long time, Rayleigh said with a little interest.
“Forget it, put it away!”

“You … you don’t want to take me!?” Ian was surprised.

“I’m old, and I’m in seclusion now, and I don’t want to be your teacher anymore!” Rayleigh lifted the bottle and took a sip.

The reason why he told Ian before that he lost all of his money was that he wanted to get some from Ian and spend it.
However, Ian’s kneeling and his tone just now all showed that Ian really wanted to worship him as a teacher.
In this case, Rayleigh could not bear to lie to him.

When Ian heard this, he was stunned.
This result was entirely unexpected for him.

‘The Heck, How can this person be treating people differently!? Even when Luffy didn’t have the idea of getting

a teacher, this old man swam across the Calm Belt to reach Amazon Lily to mentor Luffy.
So why when I wanted you to be my mentor so sincerely, you did not accept it?’

Of course, even though he was thinking like this, Ian was still bowing and respectfully said, “Please, I beg you!”

It’s not that Ian was servile, but that he understood that having a good mentor is definitely the greatest wealth in life.
He could only achieve limited accomplishments by himself, even with his card system.

Rayleigh didn’t speak, and Ian stayed in the same position for a long time.
Finally, Rayleigh said, “Do you really want to learn from me?”

“Yes!” Ian said.

“Well then, I can try teaching you for a while!” Rayleigh said: “But whether you can learn it depends on your ability to comprehend.
If you are too stupid, don’t blame me!”

‘Accepted by Rayleigh! Did he really agree!?’

Ian held back the joy in his heart, raised his head, and said, “Please rest assured, I will work hard!”


Indeed, the word “Effort” means nothing to Ian.
In fact, when he was practicing swordsmanship in Frost Moon village, Ian worked very hard.
He knew that he had ordinary physical qualifications.
If he didn’t work hard, he wouldn’t make any progress in his life.

“Don’t call me Sensei, call me Rayleigh!” He said, “We’re in Mangrove N.34 right now.
You will meet me here tomorrow morning.”

“Okay! I will come on time!” Ian said.

Seeing Rayleigh waving his hand and laying down, Ian knew that he wanted to rest, so he left.

It’s getting dark, so he can’t take his money from the bank, Ian can only go back, and along the way, he was thinking about what Rayleigh said.

He could tell that Rayleigh doesn’t want to accept a real disciple.
He may have just accepted Ian’s sincerity and intended to give him a hand, and later on, he may also like him and change his mind.
In that case, he may also apologize for kicking him due to misunderstandings.
But anyway, Ian got his chance.

Rayleigh was the First Mate of the legendary Roger Pirates.
There are not many people of his Level, only Zephyr, Sengoku and Garp could be compared with him.
It’s a blessing for Ian to get such a character as his mentor!

And Rayleigh is an expert in swordsmanship, martial art, and Haki.
It can be said that those three fits well with Ian.

After returning to the stronghold on the mangrove No.16, there was nothing exciting waiting for him, so Ian just talked to Hawking, and everyone went to bed early.

Early the next morning, around five o’clock, Ian got up, went straight to the mangrove No.34, and bought breakfast on his way.

When he came to the place, Rayleigh was still sleeping, he looked like a tramp.
Rayleigh had set up a tent there, and Ian didn’t dare to disturb him.
He sat on the ground, waiting for him to wake up.

Ian kept sitting for two or three hours.
Rayleigh slept for a long time, but when he got up, he was not surprised to see Ian.
Such a person, despite sleeping, was actually paying attention to everything around him.

Seeing that Ian didn’t have any impatient expression on his face, Rayleigh didn’t say anything, but he was quite satisfied, then he said, “Here you are!”

Ian handed him the breakfast respectfully, and Rayleigh took it and found that it was still hot.
This was because Ian kept breakfast in his arms.

“You’re kind!” Rayleigh nodded at him.
After finishing his breakfast in a few mouthfuls, he said to Ian, “Let’s start.
Let’s have a spar first.
I want to know how strong you are!”
