One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

While Rayleigh was fighting Luffy and his two companions using various Haki techniques, a sudden doubt arose in his mind.

"If that's all there is to it, even if the three of them team up, they still wouldn't be able to defeat Kizaru, right?!"

"In other words, these three are still hiding their true strength!!!"

Suddenly realizing something, Rayleigh's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"Interesting~"

"In that case, let me see just how far these new sprouts of the new era have grown!"

He has already demonstrated most of the techniques of Haki to Luffy and his companions.

With their strength, as long as they practice and meditate a little more, they will soon be able to master the external release and internal destruction of Armament Haki.

As for other advanced applications of Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki, those are not things that can be achieved through hard work alone.

So now, Rayleigh can finally stretch his muscles without any worries.

boom!!!

A simple, unadorned crescent-shaped slash suddenly flew out from Rayleigh's scimitar, its power so great it seemed to cleave the entire island in two.

"Um!?"

In an instant, both Luffy, who was fighting Rayleigh, and Red and the others watching from afar immediately realized that something was wrong.

Only Shakky, who knew Rayleigh best, shook her head with a light laugh upon seeing this.

"Hmph~" The still charming lady let out a soft snort: "You keep talking about handing the torch to the young people, but you yourself are still unwilling to grow old?"

wow——

A fierce slash instantly arrived in front of Luffy and his crew.

Just before the two were about to collide, a bolt of black lightning suddenly burst forth from the strike.

Clearly, Rayleigh's attack not only demonstrated his powerful swordsmanship, but also further upgraded his technique of entangling Conqueror's Haki, concealing it within his flying slash.

Rumble rumble rumble—

A buzzing sound, like an earthquake, spread from the distant ruins to the edge of the entire island.

Even the once calm sea began to surge and roar because of Rayleigh's attack.

Fortunately, they chose a remote island off the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago as their training location; otherwise, this single blow could have caused countless residents of the island to lose their homes.

And this is the power of the world's top experts!

With a single strike, it was as if the world was destroyed, causing the earth to shake violently.

Even so, Rayleigh still seemed to feel it wasn't enough.

Thunder roared around his body once more, and the entire sky cracked under his aura.

Boom boom boom boom...

A series of slashes imbued with Conqueror's Haki flew out relentlessly, heading towards the dust cloud where Luffy and his companions were.

In an instant, this open space of ruins seemed to have been baptized by the Buster Call, with war raging everywhere.

……

……

"Hey, hey, Luffy and the others won't be in any trouble, will they!?"

Protected by the crimson super-energy barrier, the Straw Hat crew, seeing themselves enveloped and devoured by endless slashes, immediately showed expressions of worry.

Franky frowned and asked Red:

"Crimson, are you sure you don't need to call a halt to the battle!?"

"If this continues, won't this little island become unusable?"

"Can Luffy and his crew really withstand such an attack!?"

The Straw Hat crew, unaware of Luffy and his companions' true strength, showed expressions of worry.

But when faced with the questioning gazes of the crowd, Crimson simply grinned and chuckled:

"Don't worry, it's just an attack that's slightly stronger than that of a Marine Admiral."

"Luffy and his crew are way past the point where they need to worry about attacks of this magnitude!"

As if to prove Crimson's point of view, the moment his voice fell, three earth-shattering auras suddenly erupted on the battlefield.

"Pokémon Transformation, Gear Fourth, Black Valkyrie, Gum-Gum Rocket!!!"

"Pokémon Transformation - Dragon Blade Style - Enchantress - Demon Slayer!!!"

"Pokémon Transformation: Balrog's Leg - Teppanyaki - STRIKE!!!"

boom!!!

Three terrifying attacks suddenly flew out from the dust cloud caused by the slashes.

Luffy and his two companions had fully entered their Pokémon forms, unleashing their signature moves to meet the barrage of slashes.

Rumbling--

A thunderous roar echoed across the sea, and the massive energy surge instantly transformed into a raging storm, sweeping in all directions.

With Red's telepathic abilities alerting them, Luffy and his two companions, already at their strongest, easily destroyed the attack, which was second only to the Four Emperors.

The three immediately pressed their advantage, launching a full-scale attack on Rayleigh, who was not far away.

"What!?"

Rayleigh, who had only intended to teach the younger generation, suddenly changed his expression.

He couldn't understand why Luffy and his two companions had become so strong overnight just by exerting a little effort.

Before his astonishment could fully subside, a fiery figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"Watch out, Rayleigh-senpai!"

Without giving Rayleigh any chance to react, Sanji maximized the power of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit with his enhanced body after transforming into a Pokémon.

In an instant, it seemed that even space itself couldn't keep up with his speed, only belatedly drawing a beam of fire in the void to mark Sanji's movement trajectory.

However, at this moment, although Rayleigh could sense Sanji's presence with his Observation Haki, it was unclear whether it was because he hadn't fought in a long time and his body had become rusty, or whether Sanji's maximum speed had exceeded Rayleigh's reaction range...

bake!!!

The scorching kick seemed to absorb all the flames in the world before blasting into Rayleigh's arm, which he barely had time to defend with Armament Haki.

Upon being struck, Rayleigh instantly transformed into a swift streak of light, hurtling backward with tremendous force.

But what he didn't expect was...

Just as he was about to land, a giant dragon with ghostly wings suddenly appeared at his landing point, and then a dazzling light burst forth.

"Dragon Blade Style: Fang Blade: Annihilation Reincarnation!!!"

boom!!!

The destructive beam, which had been building up for an unknown amount of time, shot out in the form of a slash from the holy twin blades on Zoro's cheeks with a flick of his dragon head.

The two slashes rotated around each other, like two planets in a cycle, and finally struck Rayleigh precisely on the back.

"Pfft..."

The devastating destructive ray, combined with the already greatly enhanced destructive and destructive properties of the slash in dragon form...

The combined attack from Zoro and Sanji caused Rayleigh, who was completely unprepared, to cough up a mouthful of blood.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

Even high in the sky, under the enhancement of Pokémon form, Luffy, who was condensing Conqueror's Haki into his fist for the first time, couldn't help but withdraw his aura and then revealed a sudden expression.

Peng...

The three landed back on the ground one by one and withdrew their Pokémon forms.

They immediately began staring at each other, wide-eyed.

Just now they...

Isn't this going a bit too far?

Uncle Rayleigh was kindly instructing them one second, but the next second they beat him so badly he vomited blood.

wrong.

Luffy and Sanji suddenly turned their gazes toward Zoro.

Sanji frowned.

"With Rayleigh's strength, even if he couldn't withstand the combined attack of the three of us, he shouldn't have been so easily breached."

"so……"

A strange light flashed in Sanji's eyes.

"You incorporated Armament Haki into your attack just now!? Or perhaps it was an internal sabotage technique!?"

"Hehe~" Zoro grinned, "Why can't we have both!?"

"You lecherous cook, you're slower than me again this time!"

"How dare you!" Sanji roared in a fit of impotent rage.

Unfortunately, God doesn't bestow all good things upon one person.

Although Sanji possesses an absurd physique second only to Luffy among the Straw Hat crew, there is indeed a significant gap between him and Zoro in terms of comprehension.

Just then, a group of figures suddenly descended from the sky and landed behind Luffy and the others.

It was Red and the others who noticed the unusual occurrences in the battle.

"You guys are really unexpected."

After landing, Red immediately expressed his feelings to Luffy and his companions.

Judging from Luffy's cancellation of the attack, he has clearly mastered the technique of binding with Conqueror's Haki, although he may not be very proficient yet. But for Luffy...

Once he gets the hang of it, it won't be long before he develops this ability to a world-class level.
