Tesoro looked at these people with some surprise, then returned to normal. He knew that these people must be the forces of that tavern.
He didn't linger; he took the unconscious mermaid girl and left with the others.
Rayleigh did not retreat, but instead slipped to a secluded spot outside, concealing his presence and silently observing the battle between Lin Yuan and Borsalino.
Even he couldn't help but marvel at the strength of these two.
Borsalino had already summoned a golden lightsaber and was slashing at Lin Yuan at an alarming speed.
However, compared to swordsmanship, Lin Yuan, as a great swordsman, was not flustered at all. The exquisitely patterned blade of the " Mandala " single-edged sword in his hand had turned crimson red at some point.
In Lin Yuan's hands, the " Mandala " might not seem to be wielded very fast, but it was able to withstand all of Borsalino's slashes.
Even under his immense power, Borsalino was able to find time to counterattack. It seemed that Borsalino had the upper hand, but the two men's expressions were completely different.
Lin Yuan's expression was one of ease beneath his mask, as he easily deflected all attacks with his " Mandala " weapon. Borsalino, on the other hand, was filled with shock.
"Bang..."
The two exchanged blows once more, then stood facing each other.
Borsalino glanced subtly at the auction house, then looked back at Lin Yuan.
"What a terrifying guy! I never expected you to become so strong in just a few years!"
Borsalino was amazed. Although Lin Yuan had injured him before, he had clearly been able to sense Lin Yuan's limits at that time.
But to my surprise, in just a few years, this guy who had never shown himself had become no weaker than me.
Especially in swordsmanship, he seemed to be attacking non-stop, but he couldn't break through the opponent's defense at all, and even felt a sense of powerlessness.
Moreover, he had just been kicked away by the other party. Although the other party hadn't used his full strength, Borsalino knew that his strength was not as great as the other party's.
Then he thought back to the guy in front of him who could breathe fire, roar Conqueror's Haki, and hadn't even used his ability to freeze ocean currents.
For a moment, Borsalino felt a chill run down his spine. This guy had so many abilities; what kind of Devil Fruit did he eat?
Even so, Borsalino could not back down, not only because the Celestial Dragons had been killed, but also because of the unconscious Marines.
He wasn't afraid of the Five Elders ' reprimand, but if these marines died here, Fleet Admiral Sengoku would probably curse him to death, especially since there was still Onigumo from the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
"Sigh, this is really a headache! Looks like I'll have to put in some extra effort."
Borsalino's face showed helplessness, then instantly turned serious. He leaped into the air, his hand gathering a mirror-like light.
Rays of light refracted continuously, forming golden tracks.
" The Yata no Kagami..."
That wasn't all. Borsalino crossed his arms, interlacing his fingers, and golden light shone from them.
" The Yasakani no Magatama..."
Countless light projectiles bombarded down, precisely striking Lin Yuan, while Borsalino's figure flashed like a ghost along those light trails.
Due to the excessive speed, dozens of Borsalino appeared in the sky, with light projectiles bombarding down from all directions. Because of the excessive speed, those light projectiles seemed to turn into lasers.
At this point, it was impossible to see exactly how many golden light orbs were in the sky; it seemed that the entire area within several miles was covered by them.
These light projectiles were incredibly precise, all striking a single point—Orb, or rather, all striking a single figure.
Even Rayleigh, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but gasp. This was the first time he had witnessed the strength of this Marine Admiral, and he kept thinking about how he would counter this move if he were in their shoes.
He simply couldn't break through those thousands upon thousands of orbs of light, except by dodging and enduring them head-on.
"As expected of Marine Admiral, Lin Yuan is in trouble now."
Borsalino unleashed this terrifying attack almost instantly. Even though he was slightly out of breath, he couldn't help but smile as he looked at Lin Yuan, who was now enveloped in the ball of light.
"It's time to end this!"
As Rayleigh and Borsalino closely watched the attack, their expressions changed simultaneously.
"Roar..."
Just as the light projectiles were about to sweep across the land, a dragon's roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth echoed.
Before the shocked eyes of Dark King Rayleigh and Borsalino, a terrifying black and red figure vaguely appeared, followed by a huge tail hundreds of meters long that suddenly swept out.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom..."
Countless explosions rang out, but the terrifying beast's tail, with its black and red scales, only showed cracks and did not break.
However, this terrifying giant tail, which was several hundred meters long, swept away all the incoming light projectiles, dispersing their power before they could fully strike.
The entire area for miles around was shrouded in smoke and dust, and the whole area was like a major earthquake, with countless buildings collapsing.
"Roar..."
"How is that possible? Kaido?"
At that moment, a terrifying dragon's roar echoed once more from within the smoke and dust, and a dragon's head the size of a house appeared and disappeared in the smoke and dust.
Borsalino exclaimed in surprise, and Rayleigh was also shocked.
Finally, a terrifying dragon, several thousand meters long, soared into the sky, its black and red form churning in the clouds. At the same time, raindrops began to fall from the sky above the Sabaody Archipelago, eventually turning into a torrential downpour.
A massive dragon head slowly emerged, its crimson-gold vertical pupils glaring disdainfully at Borsalino.
Even top-tier powerhouses like Borsalino and Rayleigh felt a momentary tremor of fear.
They initially thought it was Kaido, but they realized they were wrong when the giant dragon appeared.
Kaido is a blue dragon, while this one is a black and red dragon, only it looks more noble and majestic.
Both of them had seen Kaido, but they always felt that compared to the domineering and fierce Kaido, this black and red dragon was even more terrifying, seemingly belonging to a higher level of life.
Borsalino took a deep breath, already knowing in his heart that this time he was doomed to fail.
Despite his full strength, he was wiped out by a casual flick of the opponent's tail. And looking at that terrifying figure thousands of meters long, how could he possibly fight it?
Although Borsalino was extremely fast and had very strong attack power, he was unable to defeat this terrifying dragon.
His eyesight was excellent; his tens of thousands of light bullets had only cracked the opponent's scales, and they were probably healed by now.
"Heh, Admiral Kizaru, do you still want to fight? Do you want me to leave, or do you want me to wipe out the entire Sabaody Archipelago?"
