A devastating kick!!!
When the kick wrapped in black-red lightning and flames struck his body, Rayleigh felt as if a mountain had crashed down onto his chest.
Bang bang bang bang bang—
It shattered stretch after stretch of ground and demolished peak after peak.
The still-young Dark King Rayleigh's eyes began rolling back. With his mouth hanging open, he spat out liters of blood.
In the end, he collapsed into a deep crater and briefly lost consciousness.
"Hey!!!"
"Rayleigh!!!"
Roger and the others shouted, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
Fortunately, powerful members of protagonist crews usually possessed the ability to bounce back after being knocked down, and Rayleigh was no exception.
After lying there for several seconds, his pupils gradually returned to his upturned eyes. He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, clutched his chest, and slowly rose to his feet.
"That really hurts..."
"You bastard..."
Seeing Vice-Captain Rayleigh's pained expression, as well as the countless stretches of ground and mountain peaks that had been shattered by that kick, every member of the Roger Pirates wore a grave expression.
He clearly looked like a young man, yet he was this troublesome!!!
"Hey!!! Everyone, give it everything you've got!!!"
"Yeah, otherwise if the Roger Pirates get wiped out by some brat, it'll be too embarrassing if word gets out!!!"
Of course,
Austin might have been strong, but he was not enough to frighten the Roger Pirates. Roger was the first to charge in with his sword raised, only for Austin to block him with Ace.
Their Conqueror's Haki clashed between them.
"You brat, you're way too arrogant!!!"
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Gaban wielded twin axes, likewise wrapped in black-red lightning, and chopped straight at Austin.
A dangerous feeling washed over him, and Austin grinned.
