- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 344
“Dark King! Rayleigh!”
Seeing Rayleigh appear, Kizaru’s expression changed once again.
Perhaps the younger generation didn’t know what the name “Dark King Rayleigh” meant.
But as a Marine Admiral, Kizaru was well aware of Rayleigh’s prowess!
He was a top-tier fighter, whose strength was on par with his own!
A legendary pirate of the Grand Line!
“I had heard rumors about you being on this island,” Kizaru said, looking at Rayleigh. “But I didn’t think they were true!”
Kizaru stared at Rayleigh and asked, “What’s this? Are you abandoning your peaceful retirement to return to being a fallen pirate, Rayleigh-san?”
Rayleigh chuckled softly, “If the Marine Headquarters would revoke my bounty, I could retire peacefully!”
“A pirate’s crimes can’t just be erased, can they? Especially those from the Roger Pirates!” Kizaru said expressionlessly. “You’re all people with heavy sins!”
As the two seemed about to exchange pleasantries, Chen Ye couldn’t help but interject, “Isn’t this the kind of situation where you two should talk a little less?”
Rayleigh laughed heartily, “Oh, we’re being scolded by the young! Getting old makes one chatty… So, Kizaru, if Mundo can’t change your mind, what if I add my weight? Would that convince you to let these young ones go?”
Before Kizaru could respond, Chen Ye suddenly spoke up, “Wait!”
“Rayleigh-san, you should take these kids and leave. As for Admiral Kizaru, I’d like him to stay on this island for a few more days!”
Hearing this, everyone’s faces changed dramatically.
The clever Nico Robin’s eyes widened, her face turning pale.
“Luffy, we need to get out of here quickly…”
Luffy, slower on the uptake, asked, “What’s wrong, Robin?”
“A war is about to break out…”
Rayleigh looked at Chen Ye in surprise, “Mundo, do you know what it means to go up against a Marine Admiral?”
Kizaru’s face darkened, but he said nothing.
Chen Ye smiled faintly, “Of course. A Marine Admiral isn’t just the highest combat power of the Marine Headquarters but also a commander, representing the face of the Marines!”
“If you know that, you shouldn’t be saying things like this.”
“Rayleigh-san, perhaps you don’t know me well enough!” Chen Ye said arrogantly. “My ambition is to wipe out all the Celestial Dragons!”
As soon as he said this, everyone’s faces changed again.
Robin and Nami’s faces turned pale with fright!
Wipe out all the Celestial Dragons…
No one had ever dared to utter such words!
As a Marine Admiral, Kizaru could not allow anyone to say something like this.
“Your thoughts are truly dangerous, Mundo!”
Kizaru gripped his Ama no Murakumo sword tightly, his gaze fixed on Chen Ye. “As someone who openly defies the World Government, I can’t let you live!”
“You want my life?” Chen Ye laughed. “Then come and take it!”
As he finished speaking, Chen Ye’s hand revealed the Xuanyuan Divine Sword!
“Buzz!”
Armament Haki was activated, not only covering Chen Ye’s entire body but also fully enveloping the Xuanyuan Sword.
With the enhancement of Armament Haki, his Xuanyuan Sword could strike Kizaru!
…
Rayleigh looked at the defiant Chen Ye, frowning deeply.
“No wonder he’s known as a ‘madman,’ he’s truly insane… This is bad…”
Being a smart man, Rayleigh understood that from the moment Mundo uttered those words, war was inevitable.
Either the Marines or Mundo would survive; there was no other outcome!!
“Luffy, get out of here now!” Rayleigh urged.
“Got it, old man!”
Luffy agreed but worriedly glanced at Chen Ye, asking Rayleigh, “Old man, what about Uncle Mundo?”
Luffy felt grateful to Mundo for saving them.
Rayleigh waved his hand, “You don’t need to worry about him. You kids should leave as quickly as possible! This place is about to become a battlefield!”
Usopp anxiously said, “Luffy, let’s listen to the old man. Whether it’s Uncle Mundo or the Marine Admiral, they’re both monsters. Even if we stay, we can’t help…”
Luffy knew this, but he was loyal and didn’t like the idea of abandoning a “comrade” to flee.
Suddenly, Luffy shouted to Chen Ye, “Uncle Mundo, you have to survive!”
Chen Ye laughed heartily, “Straw Hat kid, don’t worry, we’ll meet again someday!”
Seeing Chen Ye’s confidence, Luffy and the others felt inspired.
Nami and Robin also shouted, “Uncle, be careful!”
With that, the group of young pirates quickly left under Rayleigh’s protection.
…
At the dock.
Rayleigh escorted Luffy and the others to their ship.
“Old man, we’re leaving. What about you?” Usopp asked.
Rayleigh smiled, “Mundo is a rare kind of person. I see a bit of Roger in him. I can’t just stand by and watch him fall here!”
The others understood Rayleigh’s intention.
He was planning to go back and help Mundo.
“Old man, be careful too!”
Rayleigh laughed heartily, “I’ve already lived my life to the fullest; there’s nothing to worry about… Alright, I’ve coated your ship, so head out to sea quickly!”
“Goodbye, old man!”
Watching Luffy and the others’ ship leave, Rayleigh then turned around and headed back the way he came…
…
In the forest.
Kizaru and Chen Ye were already locked in combat.
“Yata no Kagami!”
Kizaru transformed into a beam of light, moving through the forest, using his incredible speed to suppress Chen Ye.
Chen Ye didn’t dare underestimate Kizaru.
After all, his opponent was a Marine Admiral!
Especially with the Ama no Murakumo sword in Kizaru’s hand, which was incredibly sharp!
Even with “master-level” Armament Haki, it was hard to fend off.
At this moment, Chen Ye had a wound on his left shoulder, courtesy of the Ama no Murakumo sword.
Just moments ago, Kizaru had managed to slash him from the side, leaving a gash.
Although the wound wasn’t deep, it was the first time Chen Ye had encountered an attack that could penetrate his defenses.
It just goes to show, there’s nothing simple about becoming an Admiral.
Kizaru was indeed formidable!
“Mundo, if you can’t keep up with my speed, you’d better be careful!”
From the air, Kizaru’s voice echoed.
Chen Ye smiled slightly, standing still.
The next moment!
A beam of golden light came rushing at Chen Ye from the side.
The light was incredibly fast, almost impossibly so, leaving only a faint afterimage.
Death Sense was strongly warning Chen Ye: Danger!
Chen Ye immediately extended his hand, fingers spread wide, then clenched tightly…
Telekinesis activated!
Instantly!
Kizaru, who was darting through the air, suddenly felt as if he were caught in a quagmire, his speed drastically reduced, his movements sluggish.
Chen Ye raised the Xuanyuan Sword, slashing it towards Kizaru!
“Clang!!”
A loud metallic clang resounded in the void.
An invisible shockwave emanated from where the two swords met, spreading in all directions.
Chen Ye was surprised!
Kizaru’s Ama no Murakumo sword, though made of energy, was incredibly sturdy.
Even the all-conquering Xuanyuan Divine Sword couldn’t cut through it!
Despite his surprise, Chen Ye’s movements remained swift.
“Boom!”
A bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, striking Kizaru directly.
Kizaru’s body instantly disintegrated, breaking into countless points of light before reforming in another location.
