One Piece: The Will of Conqueror is the strongest

"Inorganic Reincarnation!"

Brando unleashed a unique move from Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode.

Rayleigh looked down at the changes in the ground beneath his feet with some surprise. Several sharp spikes formed from the soil came straight at him, but Rayleigh easily cut them off with a wave of his sword.

"Is this the awakening of a Paramecia-type?"

Rayleigh was a little confused.

This ability to alter the surrounding environment can only be formed after the awakening of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, aside from Logia-type fruits.

Or is it some kind of special mythical beast species?

Brando raised his ninja sword, Kiba.

A bolt of lightning pierced through the trees of Sabaody Archipelago and struck Rayleigh directly in front of him. Rayleigh dodged it with a backflip and then stomped his foot to charge towards Brando.

He didn't want to keep getting beaten up.

However, Brando was not prepared to fight him head-on, and directly used the Thunder Fang to unleash an X-shaped bolt of lightning that rushed towards Rayleigh.

As Rayleigh tried to dodge, the ground around him writhed and erected two straight walls, trapping him in the middle.

"Re-interrupt!"

Rayleigh gripped his longsword and slashed forward, the sword energy infused with Conqueror's Haki, carrying black arcs of electricity that directly severed the X-shaped arc of electricity released by Brando and rushed towards Brando.

Brando naturally didn't want to take the hit from this sword aura, which was full of numerical values. He easily dodged it with a blink of an eye. The sword aura crashed into the shop behind him and destroyed it. Finally, it pierced through countless houses before exploding.

Just as Brando raised his Thunder Fang, preparing to unleash a massive amount of lightning to restrain Rayleigh, Rayleigh appeared directly in front of him, sword raised, and slashed at him. Brando had no choice but to stop his plan to unleash lightning and grip his twin swords tightly to meet the attack.

"Why are your actions not as assertive as your tone before? You've been avoiding the issue."

Rayleigh also started to provoke Brando, staring directly into Brando's eyes.

He had already confirmed that this kid was quite strong, but it was still a hundred years away from defeating him.

"It seems no one told you that when facing the Uchiha clan, you should never look them directly in the eye."

As soon as Brando finished speaking, Rayleigh felt a darkness before his eyes, as if something had entered his consciousness.

This startled him, and he immediately used Conqueror's Haki to try to drive it away.

As his Conqueror's Haki erupted, he regained his senses.

Only a moment passed during that time.

"Sizzle!"

A powerful electric current erupted from Brando's body once again. This time, Rayleigh didn't have time to dodge in advance or use Conqueror's Haki to defend himself. Parts of his body were affected by the current, and he immediately felt a strong paralysis, causing his body to stiffen.

However, Rayleigh still managed to create distance despite the paralyzing effect of the electric arcs, thanks to his superior physical abilities.

"What is this?!"

Rayleigh had never encountered such a situation before, and there was still a hint of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

"It seems your Observation Haki isn't as strong as Katakuri's, and you can't predict the future normally."

Brando naturally wouldn't answer.

Foresight is the pinnacle of Observation Haki, and it is estimated that no more than ten people in this vast ocean have mastered this ability. Rayleigh only gained a slight grasp of Foresight after the Roger Pirates disbanded, and even then, it was unstable.

Katakuri, on the other hand, can use Foresight continuously, which is normal for him. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have been hit by Brando's psychic attack. This move doesn't have enough destructive power, and Rayleigh's Observation Haki didn't give him a warning.

"Young people these days are really scary."

"Is Uchiha a surname among the Celestial Dragons?"

Rayleigh felt that the abilities of the new recruits were becoming increasingly flashy and frightening.

Back in their era, the majority of the powerful figures were either Devil Fruit users or non-Devil Fruit users, but now all the outstanding young people are Devil Fruit users.

"I won't give you a chance to delay your recovery!"

Brando had no interest in explaining.

Preparing to take advantage of Rayleigh's negative paralysis state, we'll strike hard while he's down, continuing to unleash the electric current with our Thunder Fangs. This new energy source is indeed useful.

However, he knew it would be difficult to kill Rayleigh unless the guy made a mistake and stubbornly refused to run away.

With physical abilities comparable to Rayleigh's, who is at the same level as Might Guy at his Seventh Gate, Brando wouldn't be able to stop him from escaping.

Brando even prepared two pairs of seastone handcuffs this time, which he bought in Sabaody Archipelago, but Rayleigh, being a Devil Fruit user, couldn't use them at all.

The lightning bolts fell from the sky like a light rain.

Although Rayleigh's mental strength was somewhat unstable due to Brando's Sharingan mental invasion and he was unable to trigger his precognition, his Observation Haki was still usable, allowing him to react to the speed of lightning.

However, due to the paralysis in his body, his movements were somewhat stiff, and he looked quite disheveled when he tried to dodge.

Brando also used Inorganic Reincarnation to manipulate the soil on the ground to create terrain in order to interfere with Rayleigh.

"Are all the Celestial Dragons this despicable?!"

Rayleigh couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Um?"

"Where did the water come from?"

When he felt that his body had almost recovered, he stepped into the water.

This is a large amount of water released by Brando using Water Release: Water Cannon. With the added boost of Sage Mode chakra, he directly spat out a large amount of water.

Simultaneously, he manipulated the soil through Inorganic Reincarnation, scattering the water and covering the ground near Rayleigh. [According to the setting, Inorganic Reincarnation can manipulate inorganic matter, and water is also inorganic. However, it's also said that it can only control solid inorganic matter like metals, soil, and rocks. Furthermore, in the One Piece world, if one could control seawater using Inorganic Reincarnation, they would be practically invincible. Therefore, it was set that Inorganic Reincarnation cannot control water, only solid inorganic matter.]

Rayleigh was educated; after all, he was a 'master'!

Upon realizing that water could conduct electricity, he immediately unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, instantly shattering the surrounding ground and water.

Brando's Raiden was already submerged in the water, releasing electricity, but Rayleigh reacted in time and avoided being hit. The overflowing electric arc was also blocked by Rayleigh's Armament Haki.

"Unfortunately, my new energy fishing technique failed."

Brando said with some regret.

Through his Sharingan, Rayleigh's muscle stiffness had almost completely recovered, and at the same time, his Observation Haki detected a familiar presence approaching.

"The troublesome guy is here!"

Rayleigh naturally noticed this powerful aura as well. Although he didn't know exactly who it was, it was definitely a powerful figure from the World Government.

He looked at Brando with some resentment. He should have gone all out from the beginning and left the kid with a scar just like Shanks'.

However, it seems that this opportunity is no longer available.

"Kid, take this move, and I'll acknowledge your strength!"

Rayleigh gripped his longsword, his Conqueror's Haki instantly enveloping it.

The flickering black arcs of electricity were quite obvious, and Rayleigh's right hand was taut, clearly preparing to deliver a brutal blow to Brando.

"Only a fool would take your attacks head-on. And who do you think you are? Do I need your approval?"

Brando laughed.

He's not that idiot Luffy.

Furthermore, Kuzan's presence is too obvious. Observation Haki might not be as effective at sensing the presence of others, but Brando also possesses the sensory talent of the Uzumaki clan, allowing him to more accurately sense and distinguish the presence of others.

We've already unlocked Sage Mode on Kuzan, so there's no need to target him for the time being. Our other objective is the Celestial Dragons. If we're exposed, they'll just run away, which is more important.

Today, when fighting Rayleigh, I didn't use any of my usual techniques except for Water Release, just to avoid revealing my true identity.

However, Rayleigh ignored him and tried to unleash his ultimate attack, but Brando used Body Flicker Technique to quickly escape and disappeared from Rayleigh's sight.

"Hey hey hey, isn't that Rayleigh, the Dark Lord?"

Kuzan, looking like he hadn't woken up yet, strolled towards Rayleigh, as if he had just been woken up and was quite impatient.

"Thallium Blade of the Other Shore!"

Seeing that Brando had run away, Rayleigh unleashed his powerful attack directly at Kuzan.

A V-shaped, blood-red sword aura crackling with electricity shot directly toward Kuzan.

"Feed, feed."

Kuzan was also stunned. Was it going to be this exciting right from the start?

"Bang!"

Brando listened to the explosion behind him without any reaction.

He was thinking of finding a place to relax tonight.
