You're courting death. You're really courting death

But now, he no longer had the confidence he'd possessed when he arrived. His gaze was fixed tightly on Moonlight, his expression grave to the extreme.

Moonlight's Haki might not kill him, but the slightest carelessness would still leave him suffering bitterly. "Luffy, get out of here. Let's see who dares stop you!"

Moonlight held his longsword at an angle, his gaze icy as he stared coldly at Kizaru.

Kizaru merely watched, his face dark. Moonlight had already proven with his strength that he was capable of this. "Go!"

Hearing that, Luffy and the others did not dare delay. They scattered and fled in all directions! But then, a tall figure arrived abruptly, accompanied by a bone-chilling cold.

"Is that so, brat? You're underestimating the Marines."

The next moment, freezing air surged forth, instantly turning Luffy and the others into ice statues.

Not only that, but everything within a hundred meters was transformed into a frozen world!

Admiral Aokiji!

He had actually appeared at this moment! "Two Admirals?"

Moonlight's pupils contracted.

Kizaru was already incredibly powerful. Though Moonlight had injured him with the power of his Sword Technique, he had also gone all out. Now that two Admirals had arrived together, dealing with them would be difficult even for him.

"Where do you think you're going on vacation?"

Moreover, with Aokiji's arrival, one of the Shichibukai, Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, had come as well.

This time, it was the real one! The moment he appeared, he looked at the frozen Luffy and the others and directly struck out with his palm! "Crack!"

The ice crystals shattered, immediately releasing everyone from their frozen state. Kuma asked them all impassively.

"Gulp!"

Even Luffy could not help swallowing hard at this moment!

Admiral Kizaru, Aokiji, and a Shichibukai—what kind of absurd lineup was this? Who could stand against such power? Who in this world could escape before them?

They had reached the end of the road! It was not just Luffy; Zoro and everyone else were utterly despairing. This time, even Moonlight could not turn things around, could he?

"Heh, looks like I'm not too late."

Just then, a soft chuckle rang out. A silver figure drifted over and landed before them.

It was none other than Rayleigh! "Silvers Rayleigh. A real big shot has arrived."

At the sight, Kizaru and the other two narrowed their eyes.

In terms of fame, Rayleigh's reputation was simply enormous.

The Vice-Captain of the Pirate King, known as the Dark King—who would dare underestimate a man like that, even if he had grown old? "Rayleigh? Take them and leave quickly. Leave this place to me!"

Seeing Rayleigh appear, Moonlight quietly sighed in relief. Though there was still a gap in strength between them, there was now a sliver of hope! "All right."

Rayleigh nodded, drew his sword, and raised it horizontally, standing before Luffy and the others. "Everyone, run. Don't hesitate or linger any longer. Neither he nor I will be in trouble. We'll talk again another day."

"Everyone, split up and run. As long as we get off this island, we can deal with everything else later. Run!"

Luffy's expression was grave to the extreme as he looked at everyone one by one.

Since he could remember, this was the first time such an expression had appeared on Luffy's face.

No one dared hesitate. After taking one deep look at Moonlight, they fled madly.

"It's useless. They can't escape this island on their own."

Aokiji did not even try to stop them. Instead, he grabbed a handful of grass, breathed out a stream of icy air, and formed it into an ice sword. Then he looked at Moonlight and spoke calmly.

"Is that so? Kuzan, there's nothing absolute in this world."

Rayleigh looked at him and chuckled.

"Exactly."

Moonlight nodded. His gaze shifted as he prepared to strike again.

But then, Kizaru's furious voice suddenly rang out. "I believe I reminded you that I'm still here!"

Kizaru leaped into the air. With his arms crossed before him, countless light bullets erupted from his hands the next moment, densely filling the sky! "Yasakani no Magatama!"

Kizaru was furious. Though he was usually frivolous, he was still a Marine Admiral. Moonlight had not only fought him, but had also had the spare strength to save the Straw Hat Crew. Now, Sentomaru and ten Pacifistas had been injured by Moonlight right before his eyes.

Even Kizaru himself had been injured.

Now Aokiji and Kuma had arrived as well, yet Moonlight was still being so arrogant in the face of such a lineup. His rage instantly erupted! Countless light bullets blanketed a thousand-meter stretch of land, bathing everything within it in light.

The ground was pierced through, red trees toppled one after another, and Luffy's group could not avoid it either! They were all badly injured! An Admiral's fury was no small matter.

Even Aokiji's expression grew solemn. This was the first time he had seen such an expression on Kizaru's face!

"Hmph!"

Rayleigh and Moonlight acted at the same time.

Rayleigh moved at incredible speed, attacking Kuma, who had suddenly moved toward Luffy and the others.

The instant Kizaru attacked, Kuma moved as well. He appeared before Luffy's group and struck out with his palm.

How could Rayleigh allow that?

Moonlight, meanwhile, gripped his sword and leaped into the air.

This overwhelming barrage of light could not be broken, so he would answer tooth for tooth!

The next moment, an endless rain of swords blanketed a thousand-meter radius. Everyone except Luffy and the others—including Kizaru, Aokiji, and Tyrant Kuma—was caught within it! The sword rain surged down from the sky!

Like meteors crashing to earth, like the moon falling and stars sinking.

"Extreme God Sword Style: Meteor Fall!"

Moonlight roared!

"That move again!"

Aokiji's pupils shrank sharply. He had seen the power of this attack on Enies Lobby, and he did not dare take it lightly.

Kizaru turned into light, intending to evade, but the Sword Aura seemed to foresee his path, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Kuma directly used the power of the Paw-Paw Fruit to repel the Sword Aura, but how could he possibly deflect something so fierce?

He could only dodge again and again.

"Go!"

Rayleigh stared in shock at the Sword Aura pouring down from the sky. After giving Moonlight a deep look, he shouted at Luffy and the others.

It was the first time he had seen such a Sword Technique! Luffy and the others did not dare delay and scattered in all directions.

Then Kuma suddenly came before Rayleigh, bent down, and said something to him.

Rayleigh froze at once, staring at Kuma in disbelief. It was as though he had heard something utterly unimaginable; his expression was like he had seen a ghost, and his body abruptly stopped in place.

Then Kuma suddenly acted.

"Ah!"

Kuma appeared before Luffy and the others, his palm striking repeatedly.

Nine popping sounds rang out at once. Luffy and the other eight suddenly vanished from where they stood.

"You're courting death. You're really courting death!"

Seeing this, even though he knew Kuma was an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army and would not do anything to Luffy and the others, Moonlight still watched helplessly as they were sent flying right before his eyes.

Remembering every moment they had spent together, a surge of fury violently erupted in Moonlight's heart! "Buzz!"

A deep-blue murderous aura exploded outward from him in every direction.

"Boom!"

The land for a thousand meters around was devastated. The Marine forces pressing in had only just approached when they were caught in the blast, instantly collapsing unconscious to the ground.

In an instant, bodies lay densely scattered across the ground.
