One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Then, the tens of thousands of people on the golden ship saw a black and red lightning bolt appear in the sky.

The black and red lightning easily shattered the countless bolts of lightning that shot towards them from the sky, tearing open a rift in the heavens and pouring down from the sky. With a whoosh, it sliced ​​through the golden earth of the golden ship, creating a huge crack that stretched for thousands of meters between the G5 marines and the captured Luffy and his crew.

This enormous crack almost sliced ​​the entire gold ship in two.

The sharp impact that gushed out from the crack sent the marines standing on either side flying.

"Who goes there?!"

The marines gasped in surprise, then quickly regained their footing and drew their swords at the person falling from the sky.

But when everyone saw what the newcomer looked like, they were all shocked.

"Pluto... Rayleigh!"

Luo's voice was solemn as he gripped the Ghost Cry tightly in his hand.

"What? This old man is Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, the one who attacked the Celestial Dragons and has a bounty of 3.9 billion Berries? He looks like a lousy old man."

Bepo exclaimed in surprise.

"Three billion..."

Upon hearing Bepo's surprised voice, Rayleigh's face darkened, his cheeks twitched a few times, and then he returned to normal.

He casually walked over to Luffy, who was handcuffed, picked him up from the ground, held a long sword in one hand, pointed it diagonally at the ground, and looked at Enel and the others with a smile.

"I'm sorry, but I've been asked to come here to take a few children away. Gentlemen, could you please do me a favor?"

He glanced at Sanji and the other four, who were held together by Law's powers at his feet, and frowned slightly.

Then, Rayleigh stomped his right foot on the ground, and a thick layer of Armament Haki surged from his foot, enveloping Sanji and the other four.

Before long, Sanji and the others, who had been cut open by Law's Op-Op Fruit ability, returned to their original appearance.

Rayleigh glanced at them and found that none of them had suffered any obvious injuries.

Strangely, none of the five showed any signs of waking up.

Rayleigh then looked up at Nami and Usopp, who were being held captive by several marines behind Tashigi, and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, could you please hand over the two children to me? If so, I will leave immediately and will not cause you any trouble."

"What if we say no?"

Enel twirled his golden spear, coldly staring at Rayleigh.

"I advise you to accept this suggestion, otherwise some people may die today."

Rayleigh still had a smile on his face, showing no sign of killing intent.

But a real, overwhelming pressure, like a storm, weighed heavily on the hearts of every naval soldier, making everyone uneasy.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, is a legendary pirate.

Without the combat strength of a general, there is absolutely no way to contend with this seemingly elderly man.

But to think that G5 would hand over the Straw Hat crew based solely on Rayleigh's few words is simply wishful thinking.

"Luo."

Enel coldly opened his palm.

Luo paused for a moment, then understood his meaning and beckoned with his finger.

With a whoosh, a beating heart appeared in Enel's outstretched palm.

The moment that beating heart appeared, Enel didn't hesitate for a second and squeezed it.

His speed and decisiveness were so great that even Rayleigh didn't have time to react.

Everyone present heard a cracking sound and saw the heart Enel was holding explode with a bang.

Crimson flesh flew from between his fingers, then was charred into coke by the surging electricity and fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

Luo's pupils contracted, and his expression changed slightly.

Rayleigh's expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly looked down at Sanji and the other four lying on the ground at his feet.

Bartolomeo, who had been unconscious, suddenly arched his body, his eyes snapped open, widened, and showed extreme pain in them.

He opened his mouth wide and let out a piercing scream.

Large amounts of blood and foam gushed uncontrollably from his mouth.

Then his body began to convulse violently, rolling and struggling on the ground.

After more than ten seconds, Barto, screaming in agony, finally stopped struggling, his body gradually growing cold, and he lay on the ground.

he died.

As soon as Barto died, Franky's soul within his body immediately returned to Chopper's body.

Even Rayleigh didn't notice this process.

Rayleigh stared blankly at the corpse at his feet for a long time before his expression gradually turned ugly.

His gaze sharpened, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him, locking onto Enel on the other side of the rift.

He raised the long sword in his hand, its blade wreathed in black and red lightning, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.

"You little brat who brings thunder, how dare you kill..."

"Old man, you'd better not move, or I don't know who will be the next to die."

Enel remained unmoved by Rayleigh's fierce killing intent as he locked onto him, and another beating heart appeared in his hand.

He was the only one in the entire arena who had absolute confidence that he could crush Rayleigh's heart right in front of him the moment Rayleigh made his move.

Although he may not be as strong as the legendary pirate in front of him, it is absolutely impossible for Rayleigh to instantly kill Enel now.

Enel's speed from the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and its amplification of Observation Haki have elevated his control over the battlefield to an extremely high level.

Seeing the heart in Enel's hand, Rayleigh's smile vanished.

He never expected that among these excessively young marines, there would be such a ruthless and cunning anomaly as Enel.

Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of the Marines behind Enel, Rayleigh knew that even they probably hadn't expected Enel to be so ruthless and decisive.

At that moment, Rayleigh suddenly felt a sense of unease.

It seems unlikely that he can take the entire Straw Hat crew away by himself.

Just then, the sea surface a thousand meters below the golden ship exploded, and two figures rose into the sky from the towering waves, landing on the golden ship one after the other.

Covered in blood, Yi Xiao looked at the spot where Barto had died, his scarred eyes wide open, revealing two cloudy white pupils, his face filled with rage.

"Barto!"

Rorschach's imposing and imposing body slammed heavily in front of Rayleigh, arms crossed, looking down at Rayleigh while speaking to Issho beside him.

“Yixiao, look, what did I say before? I said that the affairs of the younger generation should be handled by the younger generation. Adults should not interfere, otherwise trouble will result. Look, now someone has died. I hope you and Mr. Rayleigh will think carefully about how to clean up this mess.”

Chapter 635 I'm still too soft-hearted

"Lieutenant General Lan Lin."

Rayleigh was no less shocked than Hibari and the others when they saw Rorschach appear before him.

He had met Rorschach.

That was three years ago.

Rayleigh was a witness to the attack on the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago.

When he fled Sabaody with his family, he used his Observation Haki to clearly witness the entire process of the Roswald family being hunted down to their deaths.

At that time, Rorschach was just a junior naval commander.

Rayleigh witnessed Rorschach's selfless and valiant fight to protect the Celestial Dragons.

Now, three years later, Rayleigh never expected that when he saw Rorschach again, it would be a similar scene.

Rorschach, whether as a protector of the Celestial Dragons or an attacker of them, is still a pirate.

But as an observer, he himself became Rorschach's opponent.

Rorschach was unaware that, in Rayleigh's eyes, he now appeared to be nothing more than a loyal lackey of the Celestial Dragons.

Rayleigh was unaware of the details of the Sabaody incident and this one; he only saw Rorschach's stance in both incidents.

Therefore, Rayleigh felt quite regretful about this second meeting.

He was struck by the fact that a young man with such astonishing growth rate, talent, and strong will would willingly become an accomplice of the World Government.

The era that Roger envisioned should not have ended like this.

But then Rorschach appeared, an anomaly who single-handedly stifled this burgeoning new era.

Those promising seeds that could have replaced the old era and become the leaders of the new era were nipped in the bud.

However, even if Rorschach knew what Rayleigh was thinking at that moment, he wouldn't explain anything to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh was clearly aware of this as well.

His aura was constantly rising, and the Conqueror's Haki swirling around the long sword in his hand was becoming increasingly powerful.

The terrifying energy fluctuations have materialized into a storm, stirring up wave after wave of tempests on the golden ship.

Rorschach remained unmoved by the overwhelming aura emanating from Rayleigh, simply standing quietly with his arms crossed, awaiting Yixiao's reply.

Today's brief battle between him and Yixiao naturally ended in a draw.

Yi Xiao is very strong; his domineering presence, physique, and abilities are all top-notch.

In the new world, that would be a solid royal-level combat power.

In the navy, that would be the rank of admiral.

However, Rorschach's strength now is several times greater than it was a few months ago when he fought Kaido on Whole Cake Island.

Not only did he completely master the entanglement of Conqueror's Haki.

The Heavenly Dragon Halberd in his hand has also been officially forged into a black blade.
