Rayleigh, Have You Ever Been Defeated by Your Own Power?

Rumble!

At this time.

The deafening sounds of battle rang out continuously, and powerful shockwaves spread outwards, causing both sides to involuntarily look towards the center of the battlefield.

The two figures clashed and the battle had reached a fever pitch.

At the site of their battle, black and red Inazuma spread out, and with each collision, a thunderous roar erupted.

Trees, houses, the ground—everything was shattered by the aftershocks of their fight.

Sentomaru was horrified.

Although he had a crushing advantage over the three major pirate crews.

But the final outcome still depends on Feng Lei and Rayleigh.

Both of them are powerful enough to change the course of the situation.

If Rayleigh wins.

The mission has failed, and the Straw Hat brat crew who attacked the Celestial Dragons will escape alive.

After all, they couldn't stop Pluton Rayleigh.

On the contrary.

If Feng Lei wins, Luffy and all the other pirates will be captured, without exception.

In the midst of battle.

Feng Lei fought with increasing courage and determination.

Since joining the Navy, he has never gone all out.

Even when he killed Charlotte Cracker, he relied on the unique destructive power of "Dust Release" to completely overwhelm Charlotte Cracker.

During the G-1 Branch period.

He tried to spar with Garp, but was stopped because he made too much noise.

Now, facing Rayleigh.

Although the opponent is far from his peak condition, his performance has declined significantly due to smoking, drinking, and gambling over the past twenty years.

However, his fighting style, experience, and methods have always maintained an extremely high level.

As before.

Knowing the destructive power of "Dust Release," they chose to use Conqueror's Haki Coating, a defense and attack method that avoids physical contact.

Even so.

With all seven gates unlocked, Feng Lei, having copied the Conqueror's Haki Coating skill, has virtually no weaknesses.

He clashed with Rayleigh throughout, relying on his superior physical abilities and Conqueror's Coating deliver powerful, impactful blows and withstand Rayleigh's longsword attacks.

"Is this all the strength the Pirate King's right-hand man has?"

In another exchange of fire, Feng Lei looked at Rayleigh with a calm expression in his eyes.

"If that's the case, then you're destined to fail in rescuing anyone from me!"

The words were finished.

An extreme chill erupted from Feng Lei's body, traveling along his fist and reaching out towards Rayleigh from a distance.

Click!

Instantly.

Rayleigh's longsword was covered in a layer of frost, which was visibly solidifying into ice and crawling towards his arm.

It is precisely the ability of "Ice Release".

By controlling the elements, an effect similar to that of Ice-Ice Fruit was achieved.

"This is?"

Rayleigh was startled upon seeing this.

He had witnessed the terrifying power of "Dust Release" and assumed that Feng Lei's Devil Fruit ability was geared towards lethality.

But to everyone's surprise, the opponent also possessed such freezing abilities.

Isn't this Marine Admiral Aokiji's ability?

While he was still in a daze, a chill swept over his body, turning him into an ice sculpture almost instantly.

"This... this..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Luffy and his crew were all greatly shocked and dumbfounded.

They had witnessed Aokiji's abilities firsthand.

They were initially at a loss.

Now.

They did see this ability being used by Feng Lei.

How could they not be horrified and shocked?

"So, his strength is far more than that?"

Kid and Law were horrified.

Feng Lei's methods are endless and unpredictable.

Even Sentomaru and the other marines were visibly surprised.

Could there be another Ice-Ice Fruit?

"Click!"

Sudden.

Rayleigh, who was frozen in ice, used his Haki to shatter the ice.

Even so.

He was still suffering from frostbite.

The chill emanating from his body caused his aura to drop slightly.

He looked at Feng Lei with a serious expression.

"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older; the Navy has produced such a remarkable junior as you!"

Feng Lei's endless stream of tricks also greatly surprised Rayleigh.

His physical skills, Haki, and the unknown Devil Fruit ability were all at their peak, something that a teenage Marine should never possess.

Did this guy start cultivating from the womb?

"But!"

Rayleigh gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes sharpening.

"You underestimate us old folks!"

Sizzle!

The Conqueror's Haki surged forth once more; his sword strike contained almost all of his power.

The moment the sword was swung, countless black and red Inazuma spread out, transforming into a lightning domain.

The terrifying power encompassed almost half of the scene; the dazzling sword energy was so sharp that neither the navy nor the pirates dared to look directly at it, and they could feel a slight cutting pain on their skin.

"Such terrifying power, is this the strength of Pluton Rayleigh?"

Kid and Law were horrified.

"Perhaps there's a chance!"

A glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.

Rayleigh's sword strike exceeded their expectations.

Even if Feng Lei is incredibly strong, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack.

"Vice Admiral Feng Lei!!"

Sentomaru couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He also felt the power of Rayleigh's sword strike.

That's terrifying!

A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the bear watching from the sidelines.

Should we make a move?

If something happens to Feng Lei, will it affect Bonney?

After all, he felt that Feng Lei couldn't block Rayleigh's sword strike.

However.

Just as he was about to make his move, what happened next completely astonished Xiong.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Feng Lei did not flinch, but slowly raised his right hand.

His palm was pointed in the direction where Rayleigh was.

Almighty Push!

An invisible, immense repulsive force suddenly exploded outwards from him.

The sharp sword energy that was slashing towards him had just reached him when it crashed into this barrier of power, and the sharp sword momentum crumbled inch by inch.

Then.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd.

Rayleigh's terrifying sword strike was actually pushed back by a tremendous force, whistling as it returned along its original path and shot towards him.

"What?"

Rayleigh's pupils contracted.

This sudden backlash caught him completely off guard.

Before they could even recover from the shock...

The terrifying sword strike he had unleashed landed squarely on his own body.

Boom!

In an instant.

A terrifying power was unleashed entirely on Rayleigh.

Even Rayleigh himself couldn't withstand his full-force attack.

"Wow!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Rayleigh's mouth.

Having suffered a severe blow, he could no longer hold on, clutching his chest and swaying precariously.

At last.

Unable to stand any longer, he knelt down.

The longsword stuck in the ground, which prevented him from falling.

His once composed face was now deathly pale.

This unexpected turn of events.

This immediately surprised both the pirates and the navy.

What happened?

Why did Pluton 'Rayleigh attack bounce back?

"What other terrifying capabilities does that navy possess?"

"It's over! Even Uncle Rayleigh is no match for us! We're doomed!"

The three pirate crews were all filled with despair.

They thought that Rayleigh's all-out attack would be enough to severely injure Feng Lei, giving them a chance to escape.

However.

Unexpectedly, it was Pluton Rayleigh who suffered the most severe damage.

They just couldn't understand how Feng Lei had managed to do it!

How many more terrifying methods is he hiding from the public?
