Rayleigh's words basically meant he agreed to help Buggy hold off the Marine Admiral. Kullykett's purpose was basically achieved. He didn't say anything more. To express his gratitude to Rayleigh, Kullykett bowed and said, "Mr. Rayleigh, thank you for your help. I'd like to thank you on behalf of the captain and all the crew members."
"Hahaha, go back. Tell Buggy, the little devil, to be careful. Even if I hold off the Marine Admiral, the rest of the Marines won't be easy to deal with."
Since the Marine Admiral had come here, he would definitely bring his subordinates with him. The Admiral's subordinates weren't easy to deal with either. So, Buggy had to be careful and couldn't stay here.
"Understood, Mr. Rayleigh."
Kullykett took Rayleigh's advice very seriously. He knew that even if the Marine Admiral was stopped by Rayleigh, the rest of the Marines wouldn't be easy to deal with.
After saying this, Kullykett said goodbye to Rayleigh and Shakky.
Shakky watched Kullykett walk out of the bar. Her eyes looked at Rayleigh, filled with worry.
Rayleigh quickly noticed that Shakky was looking at him. He also noticed the worry in her eyes. Rayleigh looked at Shakky and smiled, saying, "I'm very strong. You should know that. I'll be fine. Don't worry."
"Tsk, I don't know. Just don't die out there."
Shakky didn't intend to persuade Rayleigh. She knew Shanks and Buggy's position in Rayleigh's heart. They were in danger, and Rayleigh would definitely help. Even if he was in danger, no one could persuade him. Shakky wouldn't try to persuade him either. Instead, she was very supportive. Wasn't this the man she loved?
Seeing Shakky say this, Rayleigh didn't say anything more. A smile appeared on his face. He also looked at Shakky, who was smiling there. They looked at each other, only seeing each other in their eyes.
The day passed quickly. Soon, it became dark. There were almost no pedestrians on the road. Buggy looked at the dark sky outside. He knew that it was time to act.
"Shiryu and Weevil, go distract those agents. Everyone else, stay outside and don't let anyone enter the hotel. I'll go inside the hotel to rescue Stella."
Distracting the agents was, of course, to avoid a fight. A fight in the middle of the night would alarm a lot of people. They should avoid a fight if possible. Their ultimate goal was to rescue Stella. They didn't want to cause too much trouble.
No one was allowed to enter the hotel. This was to prevent anyone from discovering the situation and to prevent the Marines from coming to support them if anyone found out. As for why only Buggy was going in, not everyone, it was because there was no need. With Buggy's Observation Haki, as long as he released his Haki, he could quickly find Stella.
Shiryu and Weevil disguised themselves and came to the outside of the hotel where the Celestial Dragon was. As soon as they arrived, several agents appeared in front of them.
"What are you two doing here? The Celestial Dragon is here. Get out of here before you die."
The agents were naturally suspicious of the two men with their faces covered. But he didn't want to cause trouble here. If he disturbed the Celestial Dragon because of him, he might lose his life here. He could only send these two suspicious people away.
"What Celestial Dragon? What the hell is a Celestial Dragon? Just because he's a Celestial Dragon, he dares to tell us to leave? I think you're the ones who should get out of here."
This was naturally said to the agents on purpose. Shiryu and Weevil knew that once they said these words, the agents wouldn't let them go. They would definitely cause trouble for them.
"What? What are you two idiots talking about? You're not leaving today. Leave your lives here."
The agents nearby also heard what Shiryu and Weevil said. Soon, they quickly approached the place where Shiryu and the others were.
Seeing the agents approaching them, Shiryu and Weevil turned around and ran.
Seeing the two turn around and run, all the agents were clearly stunned. They thought they had encountered stubborn people who weren't afraid of death. They didn't expect these two to react like this.
"You guys stay here and guard the door. The rest of you, go catch those two idiots."
The leader of the agents pointed to several people beside him to guard the door. The rest of them followed him to catch Shiryu and Weevil.
The leader didn't think anyone would dare to cause trouble for the Celestial Dragon. So, he only left a few people to guard the door. As for the two who had run away, he naturally had to catch them. If he caught them, he might get a reward from the Celestial Dragon tomorrow. Thinking about the gold and jewels he might get, the leader was very enthusiastic. He had to catch Shiryu and the others.
After leaving a few people behind, the leader took the rest and chased after Weevil and the others in the direction they had run. He didn't shoot at Shiryu and the others from a distance. This was mainly to avoid waking the Celestial Dragon. They also wanted to catch them somewhere else. So, the agents didn't shoot or immediately try to capture them. Instead, they slowed down and chased after the two, who were also not very fast.
Seeing that only a few agents were left, Buggy instantly used Soru (moonwalk) and disappeared. He quickly appeared behind the agents. Before they could react, Buggy hit the back of their necks. The agents all fainted without realizing it.
After taking care of the agents, Buggy went straight into the hotel. Enel, Lafitte, and the others also came to the outside of the hotel and hid in various corners.
As soon as Buggy entered the hotel, the staff quickly noticed him. Some of them came up to ask him what was going on. Buggy didn't want to waste time talking to them. He didn't want to waste any effort. He directly used his King's Haki to cover the entire lobby. Everyone in the lobby immediately fainted, including the agents in the shadows.
Watching them faint, Buggy also directly used his Observation Haki to cover the entire hotel. He quickly found Stella's location. He also found the Celestial Dragon's location. He also found several strong agents hiding in the shadows to protect the Celestial Dragon.
Buggy didn't go directly to rescue Stella. He first headed towards the hidden agents. These agents had to be dealt with immediately. Otherwise, once he went to rescue Stella, if these people noticed, the Marine Admiral might immediately rush to Sabaody Archipelago. So, before rescuing Stella, he had to take care of these people first.
