One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

Garp is an extremely special case, and he must be excluded from any evaluation.

In the flash of sword light.

The two sustained more and more injuries, but each injury was very shallow, and together they didn't even qualify as minor injuries.

However, the Oden retainers watching the battle from a short distance were terrified and filled with unease.

They couldn't discern the true nature of this battle based on their own strength; they could only watch the spectacle. From their perspective, the fight between two great swordsmen was far too dangerous.

Each move was deadly, yet they stopped short of killing.

This "stopping at the point" doesn't mean that both sides held back. Rather, it means that neither side was confident of delivering a fatal blow, and they were also worried that if they didn't hold back, they might give their opponent an opening instead of a serious injury. That's why this exciting battle between strong opponents took place.

If it were them going up there, they probably wouldn't last long before they were lying on the ground, because they wouldn't even be able to react to the speed at which the two sides were attacking.

His Observation Haki was no match for the two monsters he was fighting.

To achieve that level of speed and accuracy in their sword strikes, the two monsters' Observation Haki is undoubtedly among the best in the entire ocean.

Rayleigh is a monster known for his mastery of Observation Haki and his sword-drawing speed.

At this moment, it was quite unbelievable that he hadn't gained much advantage over his opponent, considering that Rayleigh had been worn down by several top-tier powerhouses in God Valley and was no longer in peak physical condition.

But over the years, Rayleigh has not remained stagnant. His condition before the battle was completely unaffected, making him the 'Pluto' at his peak, one of the top monsters on the sea.

Swallow it!

Rayleigh sensed danger and retreated frantically. He exerted force on his wrist, causing his sword to spin rapidly, stirring up the airflow and forming defensive barriers, like whirlpools on the ocean that could devour everything and withstand his opponent's repeated attacks.

Once again, they withstood Kahn's extremely fierce attack, which left neither themselves nor his opponent with any way out.

Rayleigh's swordsmanship style is incredibly steady.

The attack failed after a prolonged siege.

Kahn was secretly astonished by Rayleigh's progress over the years, his swordsmanship fundamentals reaching such a level. That makes sense; with the strength of a top-tier expert, re-studying the most basic swordsmanship would inevitably yield results.

"Kahn."

Rayleigh blocked the attack again and said, "My swordsmanship isn't bad, is it?"

"Not bad."

Kahn commented, "It seems you haven't been idle all these years. I originally thought your strength would be a bit weaker than Zephyr and Sengoku, but now it seems that your strength is in no way weaker than theirs, and perhaps even slightly stronger than the two of them at present."

"Hahaha!"

Rayleigh laughed heartily, "It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have seen my own shortcomings. I didn't realize how important the basics are."

"Rayleigh!"

Kahn swung his longsword, unleashing countless sword energies that formed a net of sword energy as he reached out to capture Rayleigh, saying with murderous intent, "I will not give you any more chances to grow stronger."

"That's not up to you!"

As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, instead of using his swordsmanship to break through the enemy's defenses, he countered their moves with a dense and impenetrable sword, standing like an unbreakable wall in front of Kahn.

Their combat style is as steady as a rock.

"Over the years, I've been secretly speculating about your progress. The best-case scenario is that you've only grown to the level of an average Vice Admiral at the Navy Headquarters. If you want to fight me, I'll have to use a method with extremely severe side effects. I don't need to kill you myself; as long as I drag this out, you'll surely die!"

The worst outcome is... you grow to the level of a top-tier powerhouse. A top-tier powerhouse under twenty years old is unprecedented. In the past eight hundred years, even Locke, known as the overlord of the sea, only grew to the level of a top-tier powerhouse at the age of thirty-two.

Meeting you now is neither good nor bad. With your talent, in a few more years you might truly grow into a top-tier powerhouse, and then you won't be so easy to kill... To grow into a top-tier powerhouse before the age of thirty, you surpass monsters like Rocks, Roger, and Garp!

At that moment, Rayleigh thought of Shanks.

That child whose Conqueror's Haki was close to Roger's upon awakening, perhaps that child could also grow to the level of a top-tier powerhouse before the age of thirty.

Kahn did not answer.

A few years later... a few years later, Roger wasn't dead, but he was about to die.

I can't wait any longer.

This timing is just right. As long as the plan isn't interrupted, it will take at most one or two years to deal with the Roger Pirates.

The fight between the two continued.

The two sides went back and forth, and the deadlock lasted for a long time.

Rayleigh's combat skills far surpass those of Oden. Over the years, he has made up for his shortcomings and has a very solid foundation in swordsmanship. He relies on steady and solid progress, along with his own powerful strength.

Even if their swordsmanship and accuracy are inferior to Cain's, they can still slowly wear him down.

There are many fools in this world, but very few truly strong fools. They constantly learn from their opponents' strengths and compensate for their own weaknesses in battle.

The Great Battle of God Valley.

Rayleigh faced a life-or-death situation, yet his growth rate was astonishing.

Kahn's assessment of Rayleigh is not an exaggeration at all. At this stage, it's a 50/50 chance, but in reality, his endurance is not as good as Rayleigh's.

Although the fruit's ability is restorative.

But in the midst of fierce battle.

The consumption cannot keep up with the recovery.

Kahn is not a monster who reigns supreme with his physical strength!

Among the strong.

Oden is an isolated case.

An extremely brainless fool, relying entirely on the talent bestowed upon him by God.

Oden's strength was by no means weak.

The fight was fair and square, following established patterns, and the fighter's strength was indeed remarkable.

But then they encountered a real life-or-death battle.

They immediately gave themselves away.

There is a story about a master who was born in a grand mansion. He fought fair and square against his opponents, defeated countless strong men, and became the number one master in the world. Then he left the mansion to travel the world and died in a stinking ditch. His death was tragic.

Those who have lost to masters in the past always find various reasons to deny that battle.

Very normal.

Inside their own homes, the battle was being watched by a group of people in a proper and serious manner.

If you use even the slightest underhanded trick, people will immediately start yelling.

It's all a routine.

The protagonist of this story is similar to Oden.

In the Rocks Pirates, Kahn had experienced something similar, but he knew himself well and had a strong sense of self. He didn't think that he was anything special for defeating Shiki, Wang Zhi, and John with swordsmanship techniques in front of everyone.

He was well aware of his shortcomings.

Over the years, I have been training my Haki, physique, and researching Devil Fruit abilities to reduce my weaknesses.

It wasn't just him.

Over the years, Rayleigh has made considerable progress, though not as much as Kahn. His swordsmanship has improved remarkably, approaching the level of Shiki, whose swordsmanship also improved dramatically during this period.

Chapter 213 Conqueror's Haki Entanglement (Part 2)

Compared to Rayleigh's constant efforts to make up for his own shortcomings and weaknesses.

Oden, who had been bullying weaker opponents in Wano Country for years, lacked a clear understanding of his own abilities and suffered a great loss. He was brutally beaten by Kaido, who was like a raging beast and possessed both skill and rich experience in life-and-death battles. He was beaten beyond recognition and was no match for him at all.

This son of the Wano Country shogun, born noble and of pure blood, whose life was entirely dependent on the heavens, possessed everything he had, which was obtained through the heavens or the fate of this world.

None of them were achieved through his own efforts.

At age 0, the wet nurse was thrown out violently, which was considered unusual.

……

He changed the waterway, causing flash floods that killed many people. People only remember his idea of ​​doing a "good deed," but not the civilians he killed because of it.

The warriors praised his feat.

……

He seized the wives, daughters, and relatives of commoners, causing a 'harem chaos', and was hailed as a great hero.

……

To bid farewell to deceased friends, people would place a pot on top of the burning remains of the dead to cook oden, a practice known as being unconventional.

……

Ridiculous.

That's very unfair.

But that's the reality.

This reality was shattered by Kaido.

The butterfly effect caused by Kahn changed many things in the original destiny, and people who were not originally going to die died in Wano Country.

Hyogoro is dead, Kin'emon is dead, and many more will die in Wano Country.

Kahn and Ridley are still locked in a fierce battle.

For a time, it was difficult to determine a winner.

Not far away.

"Are we still going to fight or not?"

These words came from Ashura Doji's mouth. Part of his mind had already been drawn to the battle between the two powerful figures. Such a battle between powerful figures was a rare and precious opportunity.

Within the territory of Wano Country.

Ashura Doji's most formidable opponent was Oden. The two fought fiercely for a day and a night before a victor emerged, with Oden completely suppressing Ashura Doji through his strength and powerful physique.

In terms of practical combat ability and experience, he cannot compare with the two strong players on the field, and is even inferior to himself.
