In Rayleigh's eyes, no matter how powerful Field Leilde was, after several decades, she should have already declined.
They were already half-buried in the ground.
With his current strength, stopping Field Leilde wouldn't be too difficult.
Then we can cultivate a good relationship and get Field Leilde to leave obediently.
I never expected that as soon as I arrived at Island Twelve, I would feel the overwhelming force of this sword intent, soaring like a bull and breaking through the clouds.
" Shakky, you have to wait for me. I will never let you die."
Rayleigh couldn't help but mutter to himself.
He had just passed through the oncoming sandstorm when, in the next moment, everything that came into view left him completely bewildered.
He suddenly lost his footing, and looking around, he could no longer see the familiar Island No. 13.
Looking around, it had long since turned into a vast ocean.
The shattered fragments of the island are still being washed away and broken by the rushing waves.
A figure covered in blood and mud, lying in the ruins, looking utterly disheveled, came into view first.
" Shakky, don't die!"
Rayleigh's expression turned anxious, and he rushed over immediately.
" Red Count, you old bastard, how dare you touch my woman! I'll kill you!"
Hysterical the Roar echoed through the ruins.
Rayleigh landed on the shattered fragments of the island, intending to help the figure in the ruins up, but he was stunned and stood frozen in place.
Looking at this figure that was both somewhat unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, Rayleigh simply couldn't react.
" Shakky, no wonder you're running a run-down tavern here. Turns out even Dark King Rayleigh, is at your beck and call."
"Was what you just said a confession? For Dark King Rayleigh, to utter such cheesy words, it's worth more than the shops you destroyed, isn't it?"
Bai Yu smiled knowingly and landed on a fragment of an island not far away.
Dozens of meters away, there was also Shakky's figure.
The inexplicable words startled Rayleigh at first, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice, his expression changing involuntarily.
" Shakky, how come you're alright? What's that brat doing here too?"
Bai Yu's appearance was clearly beyond Rayleigh's expectations.
However, it was Bai Yu's appearance that quickly resolved the questions that had been troubling Rayleigh.
He finally understood where that astonishing attack had come from.
Why did Redfield, who was hailed as being on par with Roger Whitebeard in the old era and capable of single-handedly defeating an entire pirate crew, end up in such a sorry state?
He was beaten to the point of near death.
To achieve this, Rayleigh believed that Redfield was indeed getting old and not as good as before.
But even if he were to face Whitebeard, he would probably be able to escape unscathed.
If we absolutely had to find someone on this vast ocean who could beat Redfield up, probably only Bai Yu could do it.
"Ahem, Rayleigh, I didn't expect you to show up at a time like this. I was planning to spar with you, but I didn't expect to run into this troublesome brat."
"Didn't you just say you wanted to kill me? Now's the perfect time to kill me and win a woman's favor."
"Kid, you should be glad you didn't get that legendary Devil Fruit. Otherwise, not only would I be able to recover to my peak condition, but I would also become stronger, and killing you would be a piece of cake!"
A resentful voice escaped Redfield's lips.
As the pinnacle of the old era, it's rare for someone to emerge from the Impel Down Great Prison.
They've come all this way, searching for the whereabouts of the Mythical Zoan Bat-shaped Fruit.
Redfield never expected that his final shot would hit the biggest brick wall.
It would be a lie to say that you don't feel frustrated.
If feeling stifled could kill someone.
Redfield believed he had died of frustration tens of thousands of times over.
"Alright, Rayleigh, we're old acquaintances, hurry up and kill me. I'd rather die than die at the hands of this brat."
Redfield the Roar hysterically.
Rayleigh snapped out of his daze and looked at Redfield amidst the ruins.
His body was already covered with deep wounds that exposed bone, and even his abdomen had been pierced through.
To be able to survive that astonishing attack.
In fact, Rayleigh also admired Redfield's abilities.
However, seeing Field, whose heart was half broken and who was only being held on by a wisp of resentment, he was shocked by Bai Yu's methods.
As we both belong to the old era, I felt a pang of nostalgia.
Faced with Redfield's final request, he sighed softly and Teuchi out to slap him on the head.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out.
An unexpected figure appeared in front of Rayleigh first, reaching out to block the outstretched hand.
Redfield, who was originally planning to accept his fate and die with endless resentment, was taken aback at first, and then shouted angrily again, forcing up a breath of resentment.
"You brat, you're not planning to kill me with your own hands, are you? If you're going to kill me, then bring it on!"
Looking at Redfield, who was facing his execution with a look of righteous indignation, Rayleigh sighed softly, a feeling of shared sorrow welling up inside him.
Just as he was about to say something, Bai Yu had already pulled out a green pea and stuffed it directly into Redfield's mouth.
"Eat it; it will restore you instantly."
"You don't need to glare at me. I'm just really bothered by what you said earlier. Didn't you say that possessing that fruit would make you stronger?"
"I just want to see if it'll be even more worthwhile to cut down after you get that thing."
Bai Yu truly cherishes the old-fashioned ceiling of the Redfield.
This can't be blamed on Bai Yu being kind-hearted.
After all, there are fewer and fewer targets on this vast ocean where you can farm points and unlock character content.
It's rare for Redfield to come out now; if it weren't for wanting to quickly accumulate 50,000 points and see what unknown privileges the system could unlock.
Bai Yu would absolutely turn a blind eye to Redfield's pursuit of the Mythical Zoan Bat Form Devil Fruit.
He'd just been brutally beaten, almost killing the old bat. He could only blame his bad luck for running into Bai Yu's insatiable sword.
If Field Leilde can indeed become stronger through the Mythical Zoan Bat-Bat Fruit.
They might even be able to offer a second viewing.
For Bai Yu, why wouldn't he want to do this?
"You brat, are you trying to fool me even as I die?"
"A mere pea, and you claim it can cure me? I, Red Count, would never believe such a thing."
"However, even if I'm going to die, I'll die with a full stomach."
Redfield the Roar urgently.
But as soon as these words left his mouth, he swallowed the Senzu Bean with a smacking sound.
The next moment, he froze on the spot.
The intense, stinging pain that had been radiating throughout my body vanished instantly.
His battered body, as if by magic, was completely healed.
Even that rotten heart was no exception.
This bizarre scene left not only Redfield completely bewildered, but even Rayleigh wore an expression of utter disbelief.
"What's going on? Am I not going to die?"
Redfield couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.
Bai Yu smiled knowingly and pulled out a bottle of wine.
"What's wrong? Didn't you just say you'd never believe it, even if you killed me? Do you need me to kill you again?"
