Le roi is correct. It's one word. You kind of slide off the "S" and into the "L". "Topsul" would be another stab at it.
An incorrect pronounciation would be "Top-Sale"
I say Topsale every time (we are from Atlanta not natives unfortunately) I reference it and each and every DH corrects me! I try to say it correctly but I visualize the spelling of words when I say them and it definitely spelled Topsail!

I pronounce all of these lazy tongued words correctly. It would be Top-sale for me. It's Green-ville, not Green-vule. When my son in law came home from work one day he said that they had worked in Rally. I said I didn't know where Rally was. He said yeah you do, it's the capital of the state. Sir Walter Rally would be turning over in his grave. :-)
