Powerful Rayleigh, the Navy's Apprehension!

It had been ten years since Rayleigh found Mislanda at sea.

Over those ten years, Rayleigh had always treated Mislanda as his own son.

Now that he saw Mislanda frozen in ice, Rayleigh had shown absolutely no mercy with that strike!

He was now a level above Aokiji. It would have been a miracle if he had failed to injure him!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Aokiji braced himself on the ground with one hand while clutching his chest with the other.

Rayleigh's strike had left a long wound across it, and blood was still flowing from it!

Aokiji quickly ran his fingers over the wound and immediately cooled it with ice, easing the pain while also stopping the bleeding!

Only after doing that did Aokiji wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and look at Rayleigh warily.

"Dark King Silvers Rayleigh!"

He recognized the newcomer at a glance.

Aokiji could hardly believe his eyes. Why would someone like this appear in a place like Ohara?

At his words, everyone aside from Professor Clover, who breathed a sigh of relief, was stunned.

Of course, they were no strangers to who Rayleigh was.

He was the Pirate King's right-hand man, the one who had reached the final island alongside the Pirate King!

"Professor, is he the person you were looking for?"

Olvia looked toward Professor Clover, and he nodded.

"Two years ago, Mr. Rayleigh came to Ohara with his son, Mislanda!"

"Olvia, look. The one he is holding is your daughter, Robin!"

The professor pointed at Robin.

Hearing that, Olvia looked toward the little girl. Sure enough, she felt a powerful sense of closeness, and Robin looked very much like her!

But Robin did not look at Olvia. Her gaze remained fixed on Mislanda.

Rayleigh walked over and, after examining him, let out a sigh of relief.

He brought Mislanda and Robin over beside Professor Clover.

"Take them and leave this place. Leave the rest to me!"

Rayleigh swung the sword in his hand, carving a massive fissure into the ground and blocking everyone else's path!

Seeing this, Aokiji forced himself to his feet.

"Dark King Rayleigh, why are you here?!"

"Why? My son and I only wanted to find a place to live peacefully, and you still dare ask why I am here!"

"Vice Admiral Kuzan, I have heard of you. You became a Navy vice admiral at such a young age, but I never expected you to attack a child. Is this how your Navy does things?!"

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, instantly sweeping across the entire area!

The next moment, many World Government agents began foaming at the mouth and collapsed unconscious, including Spandine!

Aokiji could not help taking several steps back as well!

He was no match for Rayleigh, especially now that he was injured!

"Son?"

Upon hearing Rayleigh's words, Aokiji immediately knew who he meant.

If he was Rayleigh's son, then such talent was nothing strange. It was perfectly normal!

"You should count yourself lucky that you did not try to kill him. Otherwise, I would have killed you today. Get lost!"

Rayleigh swung his weapon again, releasing a slash that forced Aokiji back once more!

Under Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki, the Den Den Mushi that had been contacting the Five Elders had also fainted. In other words, Aokiji now held the highest rank among those present!

Just as Aokiji was about to order a retreat, Rayleigh suddenly looked in another direction and slashed with his sword.

The enormous sword aura instantly cut countless trees in half before finally striking a mass of red magma!

For a moment, scorching magma dripped everywhere, and the forest had turned into a sea of flames!

"Hmph, Dark King Rayleigh, you will remain here today. The remnants of the Roger Pirates all deserve to die!"

A man dressed in a red Navy uniform stepped forward, scorching magma constantly gushing from both fists. He looked utterly terrifying!

A Navy vice admiral and the future Navy admiral, Akainu, Sakazuki!

His strength was nearly on par with Aokiji's!

Seeing him, Aokiji also breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he and Akainu shared the same thought: capture Rayleigh.

Of course, the two of them alone would not be enough, but the Navy's Buster Call force was waiting not far away!

No matter how strong Rayleigh was, he was in danger today!

"What is going on today? So many Navy soldiers have come here. Looks like I cannot leave without a fight!"

Rayleigh tightened his grip on his sword.

Rayleigh was not afraid of one Akainu and one injured Aokiji. He would not have feared Aokiji even if he were uninjured!

Rayleigh was currently at his peak!

"Hmph, do you think you can leave?"

Akainu sneered.

Bang, bang, bang!

As soon as Akainu spoke, the warships on the distant sea immediately began firing shells at the island.

Hearing the thunderous cannon fire, Rayleigh could not help frowning.

"Sakazuki, what is going on? Why are they firing?"

Aokiji asked in a low voice.

But Akainu merely snorted.

"I do not know either. Admiral Sengoku contacted you earlier, but you were absent, so he contacted me instead. He said the Five Elders had personally ordered a Buster Call against Ohara!"

Mislanda had taken the Golden Den Den Mushi, but it was merely a token belonging to a Navy admiral.

As long as Sengoku personally gave the order, it did not matter whether they had the Golden Den Den Mushi or not. The Buster Call would be launched immediately!

"But there are many civilians on the island. If they launch a Buster Call, then they...!"

"Hmph, the most important thing now is capturing Dark King Rayleigh. We can deal with everything else afterward!"

After saying that, Akainu ignored Aokiji and swung his enormous magma fist at Rayleigh!

Rayleigh countered with his sword.

He had to end this battle quickly, or things would become troublesome later!

The Navy had already begun their bombardment. If he did not retreat soon, his stamina would eventually be depleted, and then he would only be captured!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Rayleigh unleashed three sword auras in succession, and the entire forest trembled beneath the clash between Akainu and Rayleigh!

Meanwhile, with Rayleigh holding the rear, Saul limped as he led everyone onto his raft.

"Dark King Rayleigh may be powerful, but the Navy's Buster Call attacks without discrimination. We have to leave immediately!"

"No! The library contains humanity's treasures. It cannot be destroyed. I am going back!"

Professor Clover had heard of the Buster Call.

If it truly descended upon Ohara, not only would the Tree of Knowledge be destroyed, but all of Ohara would become ruins.

He could not stand by and watch this place be destroyed. At the very least, he had to save those books.

There was a huge water pit beneath the Tree of Knowledge. Right, they could put the books in there!

With that thought, Professor Clover ignored everyone's attempts to stop him and ran back.

Seeing this, Olvia followed him.

"No, Mom! Professor! Come back!"

Robin shouted from behind them.

With Professor Clover's help, she had just reunited with her mother. She could not bear to be separated from her now.

"I'm sorry, Robin. I do not deserve to be your mother!"

Tears filled Olvia's eyes, yet she still did not turn back!
