Super Shinra Tensei and Tengai Shinsei

Watching Senga, who was acting strangely, Rayleigh didn't dare to act rashly. After all, Senga's endless stream of tricks had left an indelible impression on him.

Meanwhile, Senga was seizing the time to digest the abilities of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit he had just obtained.

Senga discovered that after absorbing the Gravity-Gravity Fruit this time, the most significant effect was the surge in his Pupil Power, especially his Deva Path abilities.

With his current Deva Path abilities, he was confident that if he were to use Banshō Ten'in or Shinra Tensei on an opponent like Tokikake again, even if they protected their internal organs with Armament Haki, they would be severely wounded immediately.

And... Senga looked up at the sky. He could feel that the Rinnegan's Pupil Power could now reach space through the atmosphere, which meant he could use a certain skill with tremendous destructive power.

Without making Rayleigh wait too long, Senga raised his hand and once again activated Banshō Ten'in. The power of this Banshō Ten'in was so great that even Rayleigh found it difficult to withstand.

He forcefully plunged his sword into the ground, using the resistance of the soil to prevent himself from being sucked in by Banshō Ten'in. However, the giant trees and rocks behind him didn't have that option; they all rapidly converged in the direction of the gravity.

During this process, Rayleigh was constantly struck and shattered by various hard objects from behind, forcing him to cover his back with Armament Haki.

He was getting old, after all, and couldn't withstand this frequency of attacks with his body for long.

Countless giant trees and rocks converged before Senga's palm, eventually compressing into a massive sphere. Senga's eyes suddenly widened, and Shinra Tensei erupted. The giant sphere was instantly pushed out again, smashing fiercely into Rayleigh.

Seeing this, Rayleigh didn't dare to be careless. He pulled his sword from the ground and swung a sword energy horizontally, colliding with the incoming giant sphere.

In Rayleigh's opinion, his attack should easily cleave through a sphere made of rotten wood and debris. But was that really the case?

The sword energy left a deep gash on the sphere after hitting it, but the sphere wasn't split in half and still flew rapidly towards Rayleigh.

Damn it, has the powerful compression created such a high-density object?

He understood the reason, but the giant sphere was about to make intimate contact with him.

Rayleigh's expression darkened, and energy flowed along his sword-wielding arm, wrapping around his sword. The energy-wrapped sword began to flicker with red and black lightning, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Pluton: Void Crash!"

A slash, mixed with black lightning and several times more powerful, was unleashed, colliding with Senga's attack once more. This time, the sphere was instantly pulverized the moment it came into contact with the slash.

After shattering the sphere, the slash continued its momentum unabated, heading towards Senga.

"This power, it's Conqueror's Haki wrapping, isn't it? I, Uchiha Senga, acknowledge you. Among the enemies I've encountered, I declare you... passable!"

Senga had originally intended to say "strongest," but considering the long road ahead, saying it now would diminish its impact later.

"Heh, I won't say anything else, but your mouth is truly tough. If you can, take this next attack for me to see!"

Rayleigh believed that even if Senga had somehow boosted his strength, his slash, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, was not something Senga could withstand.

He had even shifted his gaze to Kalifa in the distance, contemplating whether to deal with that woman as well.

At this moment, Rayleigh still possessed the ferocity of his pirate days. Provoked repeatedly by Senga, he had already developed murderous intent.

Kalifa's heart grew cold. She could feel Rayleigh's murderous intent. With his gaze locked onto her, she felt her heartbeat almost stop.

However, she had an inexplicable confidence in Senga – that she would be fine today. She didn't know where this confidence in Senga came from.

It was just that whenever Senga's eyes appeared in her mind, she felt a strong sense of security.

Forcing her stiff body, Kalifa retreated several hundred meters further. She knew the only thing she could do now was not to be a burden to Senga.

If Rayleigh were to stop her, at least she could delay him slightly, buying Senga some time, even if only a few seconds.

As long as Senga lived, there was still hope. If Senga failed, then she herself would not escape death.

Turning back to Senga, he saw the incoming slash. Senga stretched out both arms in a straight line, and terrifying Pupil Power brewed in his eyes.

Finally, just as the slash was about to touch Senga, an extremely strong Repulsion Force erupted from Senga's body.

"Super Shinra Tensei!"

In an instant, time seemed to stand still. The terrifying Repulsion Force, like waves, engulfed everything within a radius of several thousand meters. Where it passed, nothing remained but barren land.

After a long while, the attack stopped. A pile of rubble suddenly exploded, and Rayleigh jumped out.

As soon as he appeared, he vomited a large mouthful of blood. Even though he had protected his body with Armament Haki immediately, the Super Shinra Tensei had still caused him considerable internal injuries.

However, he didn't have the mood to care about his injuries. At this moment, his mind was filled with only one thought: to kill Senga.

A young Marine with such talent, if allowed to grow, would become an even more terrifying monster than the current Marine Admirals.

Conqueror's Haki surged madly towards the sword in Rayleigh's hand. The sword let out a low hum, its blade trembling incessantly, and even denser black lightning covered it. Rayleigh made up his mind, determined to strike Senga down in one blow.

However, this time Senga wouldn't give him another chance to charge up. He looked up at the sky, then used a few Shunpo to find Kalifa, who was covered in dust a kilometer away, and pulled her into his arms.

This time, Kalifa naturally leaned against Senga's chest. Feeling Senga's fiery heartbeat, Kalifa softly asked, "Did you win?"

Senga smiled and shook his head, saying, "You think too highly of me. I'm not his opponent yet, but I will definitely kill him myself sooner or later. A dead Pluton is more valuable than a living one."

"I believe you, but will he just let us leave like this?"

Senga turned his head and glanced behind him, saying meaningfully, "He will. I've left him one, no, two heavyweight gifts."

Kalifa tilted her head slightly in a dazed manner, unable to fully comprehend. However, she obediently rested her head on Senga's shoulder again, remaining silent.

Senga glanced at the ground beneath his feet, activated Yomotsu Hirasaka, and a black hole appeared. Senga, holding Kalifa, plunged into it.

On the other side, as soon as Rayleigh saw Senga preparing to leave, he wanted to launch an attack immediately. The power of this strike was already sufficient. However, just as he was about to make a move, his Observation Haki sent an extremely dangerous signal.

He suddenly looked up, and the sight that met his eyes stunned him in place.

High in the sky, a giant meteor with a diameter of two hundred meters had already broken through the clouds and was hurtling towards the ground.

This natural disaster-level phenomenon was seen not only by Rayleigh but also by people in other areas several distant from this location.

"Quick, look, what is that?"

"Oh my god, it's a meteor!"

"Why is there a meteor here? This is terrifying!"

Compared to ordinary people, some powerful individuals hidden in various areas felt that things were not that simple. Sabaody never had meteors, so the appearance of such a phenomenon was inherently strange.

As expected, the next scene confirmed their suspicions.

Just as the meteor was about to hit the ground, a terrifying slash appeared, instantly splitting the meteor in half. The one who unleashed the slash was Rayleigh, and that slash was originally intended for Senga.

Once again, he unleashed a slash imbued with Conqueror's Haki. The aging Rayleigh's breathing became somewhat rapid, but he still didn't dare to relax because the warning from his Observation Haki had not stopped.

As expected, a rumbling sound echoed, and a meteor, a full twice as large as the previous one, appeared and descended towards the same location.

With a wry smile, Rayleigh had no choice but to support his body and once again use Conqueror's Haki. This time, due to the larger size of the meteor, he had to unleash two consecutive slashes.

As the two slashes were unleashed, the second meteor also shattered and fell to the ground, emitting a deafening roar.

Rayleigh propped himself up with one hand on his sword and sat down on the ground. He looked up at the spot where Senga had disappeared and muttered, "Captain Roger, I think I've left an incredible Marine Monster for the younger generation!"
