One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 51 Chapter 498 and Episode 392, Shakuyaku calls Rayleigh Uchi no hito ( うちの人 ?, lit. "person of my household"), revealing that the two are a married couple. 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. After teaching Luffy the basics of Haki, Rayleigh informed him that Haki can grow stronger when facing stronger foes. [59] Fish-Man Island Saga [ ] Return to Sabaody Arc [ ] Rayleigh and the Straw Hats made it to Shakky's Rip-off Bar with Hatchan, Camie, and Pappag, and Rayleigh revealed to Luffy who he was and how he knew Hatchan. He then revealed to the Straw Hats what had really happened to Roger, and they talked about Crocus and Shanks. [50] Nico Robin then asked Rayleigh about the Void Century and Roger's writing on the Poneglyph in Skypiea but opted to continue researching for herself after Rayleigh warned about how she might use the information. Usopp then asked if the One Piece existed, but was stopped by Luffy, who wanted to discover the One Piece for himself. Rayleigh asked Luffy if he really intended to conquer the New World, as Luffy states he will become the freest man on the sea if he is Pirate King. Rayleigh was impressed by his ideology, seeing the similarities to Roger like Shanks saw. Rayleigh then went to coat the Straw Hats' ship, not charging them anything in return for them helping Hatchan, and gave them his Vivre Card, telling them to find him in three days. [23] One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 52 Chapter 512 (p. 2) and Episode 404, Kizaru and Rayleigh speaks of the latter's active bounty.

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"). I thought a weekend away would be the perfect escape. Until I woke up married and trapped...by the king of the Dark Fae. 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. 52 Chapter 504 (p. 12) and Episode 398, Eustass Kid states that Rayleigh is a legend. One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 61 Chapter 603 (p. 5-6) and Episode 523, Roger and Rayleigh first meet each other.Rayleigh had an incredibly close relationship with Roger knowing each other for many decades, to the point where he was called 'partner' by the Pirate King. After the man gave himself to the Marines, Rayleigh was unable to bring himself to directly witness the execution of his closest friend. He toasted a drink to the man with both tears and laughter as the blades passed and downed a glass as his first act in the Great Age of Piracy, the Age of Dreams.
