One Piece: Starting with God Valley, intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

At this moment, the two brothers were on the verge of emotional collapse and explosion. Seeing this, Rayleigh sighed softly.

Clang!

Rayleigh drew his sword from his waist, turned to Shakky, and said...

"Shaqi, take them away from here!"

After saying that, Rayleigh unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, red lightning raging around him as he roared at Giggs.

"Black Dragon! Let me be your opponent!"

Rayleigh's sudden outburst startled Luffy, who muttered to himself,

"Uncle Rayleigh, you..."

Rayleigh didn't turn around, and said in a deep voice,

"Luffy, as I said before, the Roger Pirates owe your father a favor, and now it's time to repay it."

But was Rayleigh risking his life really just to repay a favor? Only he himself knew the real reason.

He had a premonition that Luffy was the one Roger was waiting for!

He would even choose to save Luffy without hesitation if he could only save one of them, Luffy or Ace!

Based on his understanding of Roger, he believed that this would also be Roger's choice.

Giger chuckled upon hearing this, ignoring Sanji, and turned to Rayleigh, saying,

"Are you worthy?"

Rayleigh's face darkened with anger, and he roared,

"Don't be so arrogant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh flashed and appeared in front of Gigg in an instant, slashing down fiercely with his sword wrapped in Conqueror's Haki.

boom!

The ground collapsed instantly, and Sanji, who was lying on the ground, was directly blown away by the shockwave generated by the attack.

Giger, with a relaxed expression, held Muramasa against Rayleigh's sword and laughed.

"Not bad, you've improved a lot, Rayleigh."

Although Rayleigh is old, his strength is undeniably at the Emperor level.

However, he was missing an arm after all, so his strength was still somewhat inferior to that of the character in the original work. Before long, a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, indicating that he was clearly struggling.

A black vortex appeared on one of Gigteng's outstretched hands. Upon seeing this, Rayleigh's pupils contracted, and he immediately sheathed his sword and retreated.

However, no matter where he wanted to retreat to, Gigg always arrived first.

The two figures appeared and disappeared in the arena, the roar was incessant, and one bottomless ravine after another appeared on the ground.

Luffy and his crew were completely stunned. Only now did they truly understand what the concept of combat power at the top of the world really meant.

Brook helped Sanji walk over, with Franky following behind, carrying Zoro's body that had been split in two.

Xia Qi shouted.

"Stop standing there, let's go!"

Luffy and the others then snapped out of their daze. Even if they were stupid, they should know that staying here would only lead to their deaths. They immediately followed Shakky and ran away into the distance.

Giggs observed all of this, but he remained unperturbed. He casually parried a slash, glanced at Rayleigh who was already panting, and said...

"Rayleigh, you're getting old."

Looking at Gigg's young and handsome face, Rayleigh gritted his teeth and said,

"You think everyone's like you, you monster!"

Giger smiled and shook his head. With a flap of his wings, he instantly distanced himself from Rayleigh, who missed his target and staggered.

After he regained his balance, the expression on his face became even more serious.

The speed that Giger just demonstrated shows that he has been "playing" all along.

And that is indeed the case. With only one arm left and his advanced age, Rayleigh was only at the lowest level among the Emperor-level. Being able to hold off Gigg for such a short time was already his limit.

Jig landed not far away, one hand in his pocket and the other holding the Muramasa demon sword, looking quite casual.

Rayleigh was trying to calm his breathing. He had unleashed his full power in every attack just now, which had severely depleted his stamina.

Giger twirled his sword, glanced at Rayleigh's severed arm, and said softly,

“Rayle, do you know what? Twenty-two years ago, when I saw you running back to find Roger, I really wanted to kill you.”

Rayleigh snorted coldly and said,

"The bond between Roger and me is something a cold-blooded guy like you will never understand!"

Giger raised his hand to his forehead, gently shook his head, and said...

"Oh my, this kind of foolish behavior is actually kind of touching, but I hope Shanks doesn't follow suit."

Rayleigh frowned upon hearing this and asked,

"What exactly is your relationship with Shanks?!"

Not only did Bucky notice the unusual relationship between Zig and Shanks, but Rayleigh later did as well.

Jiger smiled and said,

"Him? He's my foolish younger brother."

"Nani!?"

This news shocked Rayleigh so much that he almost dropped his sword. He exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you kidding me?! How is this possible?!"

Rayleigh was the first person outside to know this secret, and since Giger chose to tell him, it meant that Rayleigh's death was imminent.

Chapter 272 The Death of Rayleigh

Giger raised his demon sword Muramasa and pointed it at Rayleigh, the tip of the blade emitting wisps of black electricity.

He said calmly,

"Although you were the one who put Shanks in danger back then, you managed to salvage the situation in the end. I will give you a dignified death. Grip your knife tightly, because there won't be another chance."

Rayleigh gritted his teeth and said,

"Don't be so arrogant! I haven't lost yet!"

Giger did not respond. He slowly placed the demon sword Muramasa at his waist. Black flames began to rise from the blade of Muramasa, accompanied by black lightning, causing the surrounding space to distort.

The overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, as dark as an abyss, pressed down on Rayleigh, forcing him to grip his sword tightly while simultaneously unleashing his own Conqueror's Haki.

The two Conqueror's Haki clashed, and black and red lightning crisscrossed the arena. In no time, the last trace of red was completely swallowed by the black, and Rayleigh suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This made Rayleigh realize the reality: to Gigg, he was now someone Gigg could kill at will.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Rayleigh's face. He never imagined that he, known as the "Right Hand of the Pirate King," would fall into such a wretched state.

But Rayleigh still retained a touch of pride. Even knowing he couldn't withstand Giggs' next attack, he still brandished his sword and chuckled.

"Roger, you're watching! I can't let our pirate crew down!"

Rayleigh had already prepared himself for death, and at that moment, his Conqueror's Haki broke through once again, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground beneath his feet.

A red glint flashed in his eyes, and he vaguely sensed that Roger was standing right behind him.

Giger noticed Rayleigh's increased Conqueror's Haki, but he didn't take it seriously.

To him, Rayleigh was already a dead man.

The entire space was filled with the two people's Conqueror's Haki, and after a moment, the two people attacked at almost the same time.

“Protect the Nation”.

"God avoids!!!"

……

The demon sword Muramasa transformed into a streak of black light and merged into Gigg's right hand, forming a black sword-shaped mark on his arm.

He turned and glanced at Rayleigh, who was caught between two intersecting black sword beams, and said calmly,

"Is this all the tricks your pirate crew knows?"

Rayleigh stiffly turned his head, opening his mouth as if to say something, but the black blade aura around him suddenly disappeared, and countless cracks spread through the space torn apart by darkness, constantly tearing at Rayleigh's body.

puff!

Blood spurted out, and Rayleigh collapsed to his knees with a thud.

Rayleigh, the god of the underworld, is dead.

......

On the other side, Shakky, who was running, seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped. The Straw Hat crew and Ace's crew behind her also stopped immediately.
