These words came completely from Rayleigh's heart!!
If he were younger.
With such a long battle time, he would have probably dismantled all twelve Pacifistas.
Now he had only killed seven.
The result was quite average.
However, these words of his, when heard by Luffy, Law, Kid, Zoro, and the others. Became a humblebrag.
Luffy.
Zoro.
Sanji.
Law.
Kid.
What a show-off old man!!!
"Dark King Rayleigh, are there many experts like you in this sea?!!"
Kid suddenly asked.
"As many as the hairs on an ox!"
Rayleigh glanced at Kid and laughed.
"Are you kidding! You are the Pirate King's right-hand man, the Dark King Rayleigh!"
Kid was somewhat incredulous.
"Didn't I say it? I'm old. The new wave of the sea pushes the old. There are plenty of young people in this sea stronger than me."
Rayleigh laughed.
Hearing this, Kid, Law, and Luffy and the others all fell silent.
"Hahaha, what? Scared!"
Rayleigh laughed.
"Stop this kind of joke, who would be scared!"
Kid snorted coldly.
"Although there's a bit of pressure, pressure creates motivation!!"
Law laughed!
"I will face all enemies with my sword!"
Zoro said coolly.
After the three finished speaking, the others all looked at Luffy.
Luffy pressed his hat down, lowered his head, and his whole body was trembling.
"Hey, Straw Hat Luffy, you're not trembling with fear, are you!!"
Kid sneered.
"No! I'm just too excited!"
"I'm the man who will become the Pirate King!"
"If there aren't a few strong opponents on the road."
"Wouldn't that be too lonely!"
"The thought of experiencing one unknown great adventure after another in the future."
"And fighting one top-tier powerhouse after another."
"Makes my whole person excited."
"..."
Luffy raised his head, revealed a sunny smile, and laughed loudly.
Hearing Luffy's words.
Everyone couldn't help but show a look of emotion.
"Hahaha... interesting, really interesting. It's been a long time since I, old Rayleigh, have met such interesting young people like you!"
Rayleigh couldn't help but laugh loudly at the performance of the several young people.
This sea seems to have become interesting.
Roger.
This is the era you were waiting for.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Meanwhile, with Sengoku.
After he hung up the phone.
He looked at Kizaru.
At this moment.
The doctors had already arrived.
And were treating Kizaru right in Sengoku's office.
At the same time, Sengoku also needed to hear the intelligence he needed from Kizaru.
"Kizaru, it's time to talk. What exactly is the situation on your side?"
"Alright, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Kizaru said while receiving treatment, "This time, I encountered two strong enemies. One with a terrifying background and huge potential, and one unfathomably deep!"
"The first opponent I met was the culprit who killed Saint Charlos. Her name is Yamato, and she is the daughter of Kaido of the Beasts."
Kizaru said in a deep voice.
"Kaido's daughter?"
Sengoku raised an eyebrow.
"Does Kaido have a daughter??"
"That's what she said herself, and she not only knows Thunder Bagua, but also has the same oni horns as Kaido. Most importantly, her name is completely different from other places, but similar to the names in Wano Country, where Kaido is. It should be correct!"
Kizaru said in a deep voice.
"I didn't expect Kaido to have a daughter!!"
Sengoku pondered for a moment.
"Continue!"
"She not only possesses extremely fast speed, but her explosive power is also not inferior to Akainu's."
"And her defense is terrifyingly strong."
"Although she's only in her twenties."
"But in her normal state."
"It's very difficult for me to break her defense!!"
Kizaru said in a deep voice.
"Even with internal destruction Armament Haki?"
Sengoku asked in a deep voice.
"It's difficult. She has a layer of energy armor on her body, and after it fuses with Armament Haki."
"The external release of Armament Haki still finds it very difficult to penetrate this armor!"
Kizaru shook his head.
"It's because she has extremely fast speed, super explosive power, and terrifying defense."
"So, even when I entered my awakened state, it still took me more than half an hour to defeat her!"
"However, just when I thought that after defeating her, the matter would be over."
"I was locked onto by an even stronger aura. At first, I thought it was Kaido, but in an instant, I rejected that idea, because his aura was completely different from Kaido's, and even stronger than Kaido's."
"Stronger than Kaido?"
Sengoku's face changed again and again!
"So, he was the one who injured you?"
"Correct!!"
"Of course, after I sensed this aura, I thought of taking Yamato away first. As a result, he used teleportation to appear in front of me."
"And grabbed my hand that was reaching for Yamato!!"
Kizaru said in a deep voice.
"If it was just teleportation, with your future-seeing ability, you should have been able to react completely!"
"Then there is only one possibility: his Observation Haki is stronger than yours."
"He completely predicted your prediction!"
Sengoku said in a deep voice.
"Correct!"
Kizaru responded.
"Subsequently, I launched an attack on him, but was severely injured by him in one blow, which is how I am now!"
Kizaru said in a deep voice.
"One blow?!"
Sengoku's face changed again.
"One blow!!"
Kizaru said with a bitter face.
"What's his name?"
Sengoku asked.
"I don't know!"
Kizaru shook his head.
"In this situation, don't you know to get the opponent's intelligence first?"
Sengoku said, disappointed.
"Sorry, I'm a soldier, not a spy!"
Kizaru rolled his eyes.
"It seems another mysterious and powerful figure has appeared in this sea! And this person seems to be related to Kaido!"
"Alright, you get your treatment. I'm going to report the intelligence to the Five Elders!"
Sabaody Archipelago!!!
"Luffy, you weren't scared by those strong enemies, which is good! However, at this moment, you still lack some foundation. Rushing into the New World will inevitably lead to a bloody nose."
"Why not accumulate some more before advancing into the New World?"
Rayleigh hinted.
Hearing Rayleigh's words, Luffy was silent for a moment.
Recalling the feeling of being beaten by Sentomaru without any power to fight back.
He suddenly felt that Rayleigh was right!
So he looked up at Rayleigh.
"Rayleigh, can you teach us to become stronger? The road ahead is difficult, and we are still too weak. We need to become stronger! Please, Rayleigh!"
Luffy looked at Rayleigh sincerely!
"Haha, if you don't mind this old man."
"I can naturally teach you for a period of time."
Rayleigh, with an expression of a teachable student, readily agreed to Luffy's request.
Zoro, Sanji, and the other members of the Straw Hat crew, hearing Luffy and Rayleigh's words, couldn't help but show a look of anticipation.
Before, they were indeed somewhat beaten down by Sentomaru.
They urgently needed to become stronger.
Rayleigh's appearance was simply too timely.
Kid and Law beside them showed a look of envy.
It's good to have someone to teach you.
Unfortunately, their relationship with Rayleigh was not that good.
Rayleigh would definitely not waste time teaching them.
And they couldn't bring themselves to ask.
After all, being rejected would be very embarrassing.
"In that case, Straw Hat boy, we'll see you in the New World!!"
Kid took a deep look at Luffy and Rayleigh.
"I hope to see a brand new Straw Hat Pirates when we meet again!"
Law also said.
After speaking, the two groups prepared to leave.
However.
Just then.
Uchiha Shin appeared with four girls
