If you really want to say he has ambition to be left alone, I guess that's your prerogative, but as for myself, that sounds like an extremely lame excuse… Ambition, unless the Japanese use the word differently, is inherently connected with the desire for upward mobility, which Rayleigh doesn't have.

RE: Is Haki a Technique? Should it be Translated?
I'm still not seeing it. At this point, he doesn't want to be successful… he wants to be left the hell alone...

RE: Is Haki a Technique? Should it be Translated?
That argument doesn't work since people with a high "Ambition" level are really ambitious in everything they do. If he already conquered the GL that doesn't mean his ambition will drop. He can still use it to achieve everything he wants…
Living a peaceful life doesn't mean a lost of ambition.Do you know what the word "ambition" means? From Merriam-Webster:
1 a: an ardent desire for rank, fame, or power b: desire to achieve a particular end
2: the object of ambition <her ambition="" is="" to="" start="" her="" own="" business="">3: a desire for activity or exertion <felt sick="" and="" had="" no="" ambition="">By definition, if you want nothing more than to live a peaceful life, you don't have ambition.</felt></her> -
RE: Is Haki a Technique? Should it be Translated?
To those that believe that Haki is simply "ambition", I have one question (not to be an ass, I really want to know your thoughts on this):
How is it that Rayleigh, whose current "ambition" is to be left alone so he can live a peaceful life, can still use Haki? I don't think that "ambition to be left alone" was enough to knock out all those people in the auction place (whatever it was called).

RE: Bounty Increasing After Tenryuubito's Incident?
I say that he won't get a huge bounty increase because I believe that breaking into Impel Down is not so much worse than what he did at Enies Lobby.
While I do agree with most of what you're saying, I still think that Luffy's bounty will go up drastically after this incident because I disagree with you on this point. The entire reason Luffy and Co. were in such a hurry near the end of that arc was because none of them wanted to go anywhere near Impel Down if they could help it, which to me, clearly indicates that breaking into Impel Down is much worse than what he did at Enies Lobby, warranting an increase.
