The most courageous pirate hunter

Without a second thought, Rayleigh lunged to the side like a dog falling face-first into excrement. Just as Rayleigh fell, a door appeared behind him, and a large hand, radiating mysterious power, touched him.

He is Bruno from another dimension.

Hermes had just gestured to him, instructing him to take care of it.

I thought this attack would be fatal, and would turn Rayleigh's head into a spinning top. But I didn't expect the other party to be so sensitive to danger and to pounce on the ground without hesitation.

This simple action perfectly illustrates that experience matters.

But the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; don't forget there's also the unassuming Mansherry.

The afterimage flashed.

As blood splattered everywhere, Rayleigh groaned in pain, his face contorted in agony. He looked down at his abdomen, where a little human was wielding a weapon resembling a short sword, covered in Armament Haki, and thrusting it into his body.

I was originally aiming for the neck.

At the crucial moment, Rayleigh dodged again, and was hit squarely in the abdomen.

boom! ! !

Despite the pain and weakness, Rayleigh clenched his fist and threw a punch. Mansherry was not to be outdone and threw a small punch as well. With a deafening crash, Rayleigh was sent flying and his injuries worsened.

A large amount of flesh and blood was also suspended in mid-air.

After flying out, Mansherry spun in mid-air before finally landing steadily on the ground. In her hand was a jet-black weapon resembling a dandelion, dripping hot blood and covered with bits of flesh.

Because the sword has a blood groove and inverted hooks on both sides.

Don't think about it.

This is definitely a Seastone weapon. Its design is insidious. Once it pierces the body, it can not only bleed the body more effectively, but when it is pulled out, the hooks will also take away a large piece of flesh.

Having followed Hermes for so many years, the once innocent and timid Mansherry has become extremely cunning and ruthless; she is practically a different person altogether.

It completely ruins the original work.

"Point gun!"

Bruno's first attack failed, so he prepared a second one, hoping to send Rayleigh to his death. Now that Rayleigh was seriously injured and on the verge of death, Bruno could do whatever he wanted with him.

Rayleigh struggled to get up from the ground, but his injuries were too severe, and his body was completely out of control. For a moment, he could only watch helplessly as Bruno attacked.

As expected, something unexpected still happened.

A black umbrella appeared out of nowhere, just enough to block Bruno's attack. A tall, thin figure, who had been watching all along, appeared with a sinister air.

Chapter 255 [This Emperor Will Only Use Three Moves]

"The solitary red."

Bruno's expression tightened, and he felt immense pressure when he met those emerald red eyes.

"This is not the demeanor of a strong person. To use sneak attacks and gang beatings on a seriously injured person, don't you feel ashamed?"

Baroric ignored Bruno, clearly disapproving of Bruno and Mansherry's actions. Although he had some grudges against Rayleigh, he didn't want him to fall here.

"Looks like there's no chance!"

Bruno acted decisively, re-entering the alternate dimension without a word, and then appeared next to Mansherry, pulling her into the alternate dimension as well. The two then disappeared.

Faced with the lone red, they had little chance of eliminating Rayleigh.

"A devil fruit user?"

The solitary red is quite interesting.

Because he could no longer sense the other person's presence.

Is it possible to open a door in the atmosphere? Does this involve spatial principles?

"I never imagined you would end up like this; it's something I couldn't have imagined and it caught me completely off guard."

The lone red turned to look at Rayleigh, whose appearance was more pitiful than that of a beggar, and couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of time. He thought back to how spirited Roger, Rayleigh, Sengoku, Newgate, Shiki, Garp, and he had been.

Now, decades later, I never expected that the first time we met, I would witness the most humiliating moment of Rayleigh's life.

He was nearly beaten to death by the three young men.

Who would believe such a legend?

This is Rayleigh, the Dark King, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, a legend who dominated an era. Even if he's old, he shouldn't be in such a sorry state; it's really damaging to his image.

For this reason, Baroric couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate that he had eaten the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

"old."

"Young people these days are too fierce. I'm an old man and can't keep up with the times. It's only a matter of time before I'm eliminated."

Rayleigh stood up unsteadily, a bitter smile on his face.

He still knows his place.

The world always belongs to the young, but the fact that they can leave behind a legend already shows that their lives were fulfilling. It's just a pity that time is a cruel mistress, and there's no way to deny that you're getting old.

Young people these days have no morals and no sense of martial ethics.

call out! ! !

A figure approached rapidly from a distance, his face filled with urgency and worry.

It is Shaoqi.

Seeing Rayleigh so badly injured and on the verge of death, I felt terrible.

"Is it okay!"

"You've come at the right time; we can still hold on a little longer."

Upon seeing Shaoqi, Lei Li felt a sense of relief.

"Are you two really together?"

The lone red figure looked back and forth between Rayleigh and Shaoqi, his eyes full of amusement. He knew how crazy this woman had been when she was young, and how she had once been in a love-hate relationship with Rayleigh.

He never expected the two of them to be together.

"Baroric".

Shaoqi was also surprised.

When Hermes blew up Impel Down, she thought he might escape, but she never expected to see him here.

"Let's go first."

Rayleigh didn't give the two a chance to catch up. He coughed and spat out black blood. He felt that if he continued to drag this out, he might really die, the kind of death that couldn't be saved.

"kindness?"

Shaoqi glanced into the distance, his eyes filled with murderous intent and anger.

The two left quickly.

It's unlikely they'll stay in the Sabaody Archipelago any longer; they'll need to leave to avoid the limelight.

Here.

Hermes was still locked in a standoff with Barrett. Barrett did not intervene again when Bruno and Mansherry attacked Rayleigh; he had already saved her once and would never do it a second time.

If Rayleigh really dies here, it can only be attributed to his own incompetence.

An oppressive atmosphere immediately began to permeate the air.

Barrett and Hermes locked eyes, their powerful auras beginning to intertwine, an overwhelming and domineering will sweeping across the sky, with endless black and red lightning descending.

Hermes remained unmoved by this overwhelming aura, but the flames burning around his body swirled around him.

"What a joke."

"That domineering aura."

Stay away from the battlefield.

Many onlookers felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were seeing a demon emerging from hell, filled with rage and ferocity, which instilled fear in them.

"The successor of the devil, Douglas Barrett, is truly terrifying."

"But the enemy he faces is even more terrifying—the King of Hunters!"

No matter how terrifying Barrett is, in some people's eyes he is nothing special, because he will be facing a god-like man with countless halos around him.

Even if the King of Hunters doesn't possess Conqueror's Haki.

boom! ! !

The figures disappeared from sight, leaving only a deafening roar followed by a shockwave that swept across the ground. Hermes and Barrett had somehow collided.

There was a vacuum between the two fists, one large and one small, and both sides had reached their peak momentum.

"I will only use three moves. I hope you can survive."

Hermes did not want to continue the stalemate with Barrett; his main target was Borsalino, and he would deal with these blind bastards later.

How many times has this happened?
