Kizaru vs. Rayleigh

"This time, I'm sorry, but I'm your enemy, so watch out!"

Seeing that the Straw Hat Pirates seemed completely unfriendly towards her, Ye Liangnai said something that immediately put them on guard.

"Hey, hey, hey, seriously? Everyone's already so exhausted, are we really going to have to fight a Shichibukai?!"

Usopp was starting to have second thoughts.

It already took them a tremendous amount of effort to deal with one Pacifista, let alone another Shichibukai!

"Come on, everyone, defeat me, and you can leave!"

"Oh, by the way, Marine Admiral Kizaru is coming soon. If you don't deal with me quickly, you'll be facing an admiral!"

Ye Liangnai is still stirring up trouble and drawing hatred!

"Hateful!"

Hearing Ye Liangnai's words, Zoro and Sanji gritted their teeth, their expressions turning fierce. "It seems we have no choice but to fight!"

Then they all looked at Straw Hat Luffy and said, "Luffy, let's go!"

Luffy pulled his hat tighter and said with a very serious expression, "I know!"

His body shifted back into Gear Second gear, but this caused him to show signs of strain and pain.

He had already used Gear Third once and was now quite exhausted.

Using Gear Second again would put too much strain on me.

"Everyone... take this opportunity to scatter and run. We'll regroup on the Thousand Sunny in three days!"

Luffy was naturally aware of the perilous situation he and his crew were in.

If they regroup and fight together, then it's really game over.

"Rubber, rubber..."

After telling everyone to scatter and run, Luffy immediately rushed towards Ye Liangnai, shouting, "Machine Gun!"

On either side of Ye Liangnai, Sanji's legs were engulfed in flames, and Zoro's Three Sword Style exuded a fierce aura.

But Ye Liangnai easily dodged Straw Hat Luffy's punch.

He reached out and grabbed his arm, pulled him over with force, and then punched him in the chest, sending him flying.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

After Luffy out, he immediately stood up, but cried out in pain.

This shocked the Straw Hat Pirates. "Luffy is a rubber man, how could he be hurt by a punch!"

But Ye Liangnai didn't give them any time to think, and drew her sword, unleashing several cold Sword Wave.

"Waaah!"

"Uh-huh!"

Sanji was sent flying in an instant, no match for the Sword Wave at all. Zoro also groaned with difficulty, constantly being forced back by the Sword Wave.

Others, such as Franky Nico Robin, were in even greater danger, being blasted away a great distance.

"Run, everyone!"

Seeing that Ye Liangnai had actually blasted them so far away, Luffy overjoyed and quickly shouted.

The others clearly realized this as well; it seemed that Ye Liangnai had deliberately blasted them so far away!

"Whether the Straw Hat Pirates can escape danger or not depends on your luck..."

Ye Liangnai sheathed her sword and didn't pursue them further, because...

"This won't do, 'Lightning Killer,' you're helping them escape! I can't turn a blind eye!"

Kizaru appeared beside Ye Liangnai like a beam of light, and the instant his figure solidified, Light Cannon at the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Bang!"

When a general makes a move, its power is boundless...

Most of area 32 was blown up, and the violent tremors continued.

The Straw Hat Pirates was blown away, their faces filled with horror and despair.

Then, Kizaru appeared in front of Nonoroya Zoro in a flash, a Light Cannon piercing through his chest and pinning him to the ground.

"Zoro!!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Luffy shouted in shock and worry.

Kizaru raised his foot again, and began to glow and charge up. The Light Cannon appeared again, as if it would pierce Zoro's head and kill him right there!

Usopp, who was right in front of Zoro, quickly pulled back his slingshot and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Kizaru.

But clearly, without Haki, he couldn't hit Kizaru's physical form at all.

Similarly, Luffy's and Sanji's attacks also pierced through Kizaru's body.

"Damn it, why can't I hit it?!"

Luffy weakly, and unleashed another Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun at Kizaru, but to no avail. Instead, he was kicked away by Kizaru.

Next, Zoro's head will be crushed by Kizaru's kick.

"No, Zoro!!!"

"Stop! Stop right now!!"

Luffy roared in despair, and the others stared in horror, their faces pale, unable to accept this fact.

"Dark King Rayleigh, it's time for you to arrive!"

Ye Liangnai, who was watching the show from the sidelines, thought to herself.

"Whoosh!"

Just as he was thinking this, a Fierce Shadow flashed past him and collided heavily with Kizaru's long leg.

Dark King Rayleigh, has arrived!

"Bang!"

Kizaru's attack was kicked away, Yalman Red Tree behind him exploded. Kizaru looked at Rayleigh, who appeared in front of him, and said, "So you really have returned to the mountain. The Lightning Killer wasn't lying!"

"But..."

Kizaru's body glowed, and he gathered a mirror of light in his hands. "We still need to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates, the culprits who attacked the Celestial Dragons, first. Yata no Kagami!"

The instant the light mirror solidified, Kizaru transformed into light and vanished, heading straight for the Straw Hat Pirates.

But Rayleigh blocked Kizaru once again!

"You guys go first!"

Rayleigh, with his back to the Straw Hat Pirates, looked at Kizaru with a serious expression, then glanced at Ye Liangnai behind Kizaru. "You probably won't make a move again, right?"

Ye Liangnai smiled and said, "Of course, I've almost finished my mission, Mr. Kizaru, I'll be going now!"

Having said that, he leaped into the air and transformed into Fire Phoenix, soaring away into the sky.

"Well, well, well, people with the Shichibukai stance are really unreliable. This is a real headache. Dealing with you won't be an easy task!"

As Kizaru watched Ye Liangnai leave, he said this, but there was no trace of seriousness on his face.

"With him gone, the pressure on me has eased considerably. After all, he was a formidable opponent!"

Dark King Rayleigh smiled and looked at Kizaru, saying...

"Ama no Murakumo!"

Without saying much, Kizaru pulled out a long lightsaber with his hands glowing and then fiercely slashed down.

"Bass!"

Dark King Rayleigh, naturally swung his sword to fight back, instantly unleashing a terrifying sound that shook the earth.

"Bass!"

"Bass!"

"Bass!"

The fierce battle between Kizaru and Dark King Rayleigh began, with sparks flying, the earth cracking, and the sound waves spreading, illuminating half the sky.

Straw Hat Luffy's side.

"Oh no, that guy is coming after us!"

Usopp, carrying Zoro on his back, saw Ye Liangnai rushing towards them from behind and cried out in panic.
