Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 178 Are all newcomers monsters? (7 updates, k, please subscribe!)

"Old Lei, don't be careless."

A hoarse but slightly magnetic voice sounded behind the old man, and the bar owner, holding a lady's cigarette in her hand, slowly walked out from behind him.

The proprietress of the extortion bar, the former emperor of Amazon Lily, and the former leader of the Nine Snakes Pirates - Xia Qi!
Xia Qi took a puff of her cigarette and looked around calmly, taking in the surrounding scene.

Then she raised her head again and looked towards the sky above Island No. 13, and instantly spotted the flying blue-eyes white dragon.

"This ability to turn into clay, and that 'dragon' in the sky... the one who came should be the new Shichibukai - Hakuryuu. It seems that his [Clay Fruit] has been developed to the [Awakening] level."

"Lao Lei" in Xia Qi's mouth——

The vice-captain of Roger's pirate group, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, "Pluto" Silvers Rayleigh!
"The new era has been open for such a long time, and finally a decent 'newcomer' has appeared! [Awakening]...?"

Rayleigh raised his rapier, glanced at the blue-eyes white dragon in the sky, and said speechlessly.

"Making a flying dragon out of 'clay'... isn't this a bit exaggerated?

"And if I remember correctly, there seems to be a bounty on that dragon in the sky as well?"

"To be exact, it's 9500 Baileys, less than Baileys."

Xia Qi's intelligence gathering ability is excellent, and she immediately revealed the bounty for the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

“I don’t know what those people in the navy were thinking… They actually set a bounty for a devil fruit creation.

"If this requires a bounty, then shouldn't Big Mom's Napoleon, Zeus, and Prometheus also have bounties?"

Big Mom, the Queen of Nations, used her unique [Soul-Soul Fruit] to create three powerful soul clones——

"Napoleon" as a weapon;
"Zeus" who harnesses thunder;
"Prometheus" who manipulates fire.

The strength of these three soul clones is even far greater than that of many great pirates in the New World.

"Although I also think that the navy people have problems with their brains, it seems that we two have different focuses..."

Rayleigh sighed and said seriously.

"I mean - such a handsome dragon, but the bounty is only 9500 berries. Don't you think that's a problem?"

“…I think the problem is you!”

Xia Qi rolled her eyes in annoyance.

It's just a dragon. It's not like I haven't seen one before.

Is it really necessary to be so entangled?
"You're still so childish even when you're old!"

Xia Qi uttered a few words and then turned and walked towards the bar of the Rip-off Bar.

"You should deal with the real 'White Dragon' first!

"Looking at his attitude, it seems he came here specifically to find us. I don't know where he got the information from."

"Who knows?"

Rayleigh tightened the rapier in his hand, and a sharp light flashed behind the oval lens.

"I haven't been a pirate for many years, but..."

Even if we fight, I won't lose to any of the Shichibukai!

Pluto Rayleigh didn't have time to finish his words.

Another hearty voice came from the fountain-like white clay.

"Does 'retirement' exist in the pirate business?"

Storm walked slowly on the undulating white clay and came to the front of the Rip-off Bar.

"Pluto Silverbaz Rayleigh?"

When Bai Long revealed his name, Rayleigh's pupils shrank a little involuntarily.

But on the surface, he still pretended not to know what the other person was talking about.

"Pluto Rayleigh?"

Rayleigh said in a fake tone.

"My name is 'Old Lei', and I'm just an ordinary coating boatman in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"The Pirate King's right arm, don't you even have the courage to admit your identity?"

Storm waved his hand and instantly created a clay doll that was 70% similar to Rayleigh.

The most similar thing about this clay doll to Rayleigh is the strangely shaped beard on its chin!

"Is there another example of a beard like this in the whole world?

"I'm a little curious, is this fence-like beard something you were born with, or did you trim it intentionally?"

While asking the question, Storm also controlled the clay doll and attacked Rayleigh.

The speed of the clay man Rayleigh's movements was not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters and came in front of the real Pluto Rayleigh.

The clay man Rayleigh raised his right foot and kicked forward swiftly. The powerful whip kick even exploded the air, making a crisp "pop" sound.

Rayleigh's brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly raised the rapier in his right hand and blocked with the sword. The shining blade directly blocked the attack path of the clay man Rayleigh's right leg.

puff--

Rayleigh's sword chopped off the clay man Rayleigh's right leg with unstoppable force.

Rayleigh, the clay man who had lost the lower half of his calf, kicked into the air and spun several times in the air.

Rayleigh didn't care, took a step forward and swung his sword.

The bright knife light directly cut across the neck of the clay man, and its head flew directly into the air along the knife light.

It only takes two moves.

This clay doll, which was 70% similar to Rayleigh, "died" directly in front of the real Rayleigh.

Rayleigh originally thought so too.

however.

First his right leg was cut off, and then his head was cut off.

Any normal human being would be killed on the spot if they were here.

But clay figures are not normal people!

"Hey, Lao Lei..."

The head of the clay man Rayleigh that fell to the ground spoke faintly to the real Rayleigh.

"Have you ever had your head cut off? It must have hurt a lot..." Seeing this clay head that looked 70% similar to his own and saying some confusing words, Rayleigh's face suddenly darkened.

He grasped the rapier and spun it in his hand with an exquisite sword flower. Then he thrust the sword straight down, piercing the clay man's head directly like a string of candied haws!

puff!

The clay man whose head was pierced by the rapier seemed to be really "dead".

Its surface began to wave, and then it melted away like spring snow and disappeared into the earth.

Rayleigh pulled out the undamaged rapier.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, something strange happened.

It only took half a breath.

Clay dolls appeared one after another on the earth.

Each of them has an appearance that is 70% similar to Rayleigh.

Especially the fence-like "four-bar beard", which is an almost perfect replica of the real Pluto Rayleigh.

Looking at the clay man Rayleigh one after another, the real Pluto Rayleigh finally couldn't help it.

"Have you had enough fun, kid?"

Rayleigh clenched the rapier in his hand and swung it heavily forward. A bright white crescent-shaped flying slash whizzed out, carrying a terrifying power that scared away thousands of troops, and slashed at the clay puppet army in front of him.

Chi chi chi——

Wherever Pluto Rayleigh's flying slash passed, all the clay dolls were cut off like weeds, and the incomplete clay limbs flew all over the sky. The scene was very horrifying.

The remaining momentum of the flying slash continued to fly forward, all the way in front of Storm, as if to cut him off together.

But Storm calmly raised his right fist, and the dark [Armament Haki] instantly wrapped around the surface of his fist, and he violently blasted towards the flying slash coming from the front.

boom! !

The moment Storm's right fist and Pluto Rayleigh's flying slash came into contact with each other, a deafening roar immediately erupted.

The crescent-shaped flying slash exploded on the spot, and the ferocious sword energy turned into a violent shock wave that shot in all directions, leaving one deep and profound penetration mark after another on the surrounding land and buildings.

"With this level of 'Flying Slash'..."

Storm looked up at the Pluto Rayleigh opposite him. He stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and with the help of the reaction force of the earth, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

"You still say you are not 'Pluto'?"

In the blink of an eye.

Storm has already approached Pluto Rayleigh.

He raised his right hand, and with his fist still wrapped in [Armament Haki], he swung it forward with all his might.

The pitch-black iron fist continued to grow larger in the pupils of Pluto Rayleigh.

"It's [Haki]?"

Rayleigh narrowed his eyes slightly, and in his heart he overestimated the strength of Hakuryū, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

At this critical moment.

Rayleigh once again raised his rapier, trying to block Storm's "iron fist".

clang--

With a crisp collision sound, Storm's armed iron fist and Rayleigh's rapier collided with each other.

But it was just in this brief moment.

Rayleigh felt a powerful force coming from the blade of the rapier.

"This power... How is it possible! "

Rayleigh eventually paid the price for his contempt.

He thought he could block Bai Long's fist by simply swinging his sword.

however.

Storm's [Strength] attribute has already reached eight stars!

Even if Pluto Silverbaz Rayleigh in his prime came, he wouldn't dare to say that he could take this punch safely.

Not to mention the careless "Old Lei" at this moment!

Storm's terrifying power directly hit the blade of the rapier.

This Western sword, which had accompanied Rayleigh for who knows how many years, suddenly bent into an amazing arc.

next moment.

Rayleigh was knocked flying by this punch.

He was flying in the air like a cannonball, smashing half of the rip-off bar, and then continued to fly backwards.

boom! boom! boom! ——

Followed by a deafening roar.

Rayleigh knocked down several tall buildings that were several stories high.

Building debris flew everywhere, smoke and dust rose into the sky, filling the surroundings and forming a dust fog.

In this fog.

Rayleigh managed to keep his body steady, his right arm kept shaking, and a streak of glaring blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

“Are all the newcomers monsters?”
