About this deal
Rayleigh chooses to dress quite simply, usually just in a nearly plain t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. When out in public, he also seems to enjoy the cover of a large silver hooded cloak, though the hood is often down. Underneath these clothes, the old man's body is surprisingly built and very well-toned, a testament to his incredible strength.
One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 52 Chapter 504 (p. 12) and Episode 398, Eustass Kid states that Rayleigh is a legend. years prior to the series, Rayleigh met his former apprentice Shanks again and noticed the latter lost his arm and his hat. Rayleigh asked him what occurred as he told him of a boy that he met in the East Blue who had the same passion as his former captain. Intrigued, Rayleigh desired to meet this boy someday. [45] Rayleigh is one of the very few people in the world who can use all three types of Haki. He is also a capable teacher, as he taught Luffy about each type of Haki and trained him in the basics. [11] Haoshoku Haki [ ]Another noticeable trait of Rayleigh is his incredible perceptive and deduction capability. This is shown when he was (within a matter of moments) easily able to deduce what had happened after ending up on the slave auction stage on the Sabaody Archipelago. Rayleigh's epithet, Meiō ( 冥王 ?, lit. "dark king"), is the Japanese word for Pluto/Hades, the god of the underworld in ancient Greco-Roman mythology. One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 61 Chapter 597 and Episode 516, Rayleigh begins training Luffy in the use of the power of Haki. Before he handed himself over to the Marines, Roger told Rayleigh that he would not die. Unwilling to watch the execution of his closest friend, Rayleigh toasted a drink to the man with a laugh as the blades passed and downed a glass as his first act in the Great Age of Piracy, the Age of Dreams. [44] Rayleigh stated that he laughed (and cried and drank) nonetheless upon hearing the message Roger had left the world. Rayleigh's name is similar to John Silver from Treasure Island and Sir Walter Raleigh, an English 16th-century explorer and privateer. It should be noted that Sir Walter Raleigh's name has been spelled in over forty different ways, in which also includes the spelling "Rayleigh" ( note: the "y" would actually be pronounced as "i").
In the Blue Deep databook, his relationship with Shakuyaku is written as that of friends, rather than husband and wife. As he was referred to as her "Uchi no hito" (うちの人; lit. person of my household) in the manga, [10] their relationship as stated in the databook may be an oversight by Oda.One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 51 Chapter 501 (p. 3) and Episode 395, Garp informs the Marines of Rayleigh's capabilities.
A year before his death, Roger disbanded the crew in secret. Roger was the first to leave and the crew tearfully parted ways with him. They later returned Oden to Wano Country, and they bid farewell to him as well. [43] One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 72 Chapter 717 and Episode 647, Chinjao shows displeasure at knowing Rayleigh lives. Rayleigh is light-hearted, casual, and fun loving, much like his captain Roger was. In the past, he was shown to have been impatient with the antics of the younger crew members and took the position of crew disciplinarian very seriously. However, he has changed his personality in his older years, becoming much more relaxed even when training Luffy.
About Kasey
The Dark King, the 5th chaos god, appears to be a mantle that anyone can take on. I am assuming that the cyclical nature of the 40k galaxy which is often referenced as the ascending period for a particular species, culminates in the birth/apotheosis of a chaos deity. The emperor understands that the cycle is nearing completion and that is why he is in such a rush to build the imperium at any cost. The emperor must do all he can to unify the species and deny chaos if he hopes to prevent the dark king ascension. The Dark King mantle seems to be intended for the emperor and chaos wants him the join the pantheon's great game but I believe that anyone can become the Dark King. Horus was always the emperor's chosen sacrifice. His Manchurian candidate. The emperor intended for Horus to begin apotheosis so that the emperor could slay the Dark King during the moment of apotheosis and therefore break the wheel of fate. I believe that this is the reason the emperor never told the primarchs about chaos, because any one of them would be inherently drawn towards weaponizing/understanding/controlling/damnation and this would mean the Dark King mantle could fall on any of the 21. The emperor needed to control who would become the Dark King so that he could more easily prepare for the final confrontation as well as prevent his own ascension. All speculation of course. Perhaps one of the missing primarchs discovered the mantle of the Dark King and had to be annihilated lest the emperor's plan be ruined out right. I also loved the prince and both of his closest warriors. I liked that they didn’t turn out the way I expected them to. They had a lot more depth to them than I anticipated, and I liked the way Vesper built tenuous but deep alliances with them. The two began training on the island. Luffy realized that he had seen these techniques before in some form or another during his adventures. Rayleigh hoped to use those two years to teach him the basics of controlling the different types of Haki, as it would take longer with a normal person. [11] During the Timeskip [ ] I thought a weekend away would be the perfect escape. Until I woke up married and trapped...by the king of the Dark Fae. years before the current storyline, Roger fell ill from an incurable disease, leading the crew to take one final journey together and ventured into the Grand Line together.
