Chapter 59 Fierce Battle
"Your aura has changed again."
Rayleigh narrowed his eyes, sensing the presence of his Observation Haki.
The other side has transformed from a strange, gloomy moon into a scorching, cruel sun.
The atmosphere was not only upright and honest, but also filled with a scorching heat that was undergoing a transformation.
"Impressive aura. I acknowledge you now, should you survive this time."
Step your right foot back, touching the ground with your toes.
A shallow pit was trodden into the muddy ground, and Rayleigh rushed to Bazel in an instant, his blade level with his shoulder.
A straight stab!
I look forward to seeing you again.
"Pirate Bazel!"
……
boom-!!
"A nice knife!"
Outside Block 16, Kaido stopped his retreat, blood gushing from a deep, bone-revealing wound on his upper body.
With bulging muscles and a maniacal laugh, Kaido manipulated his muscles to forcibly close the wound.
A bolt of purple lightning fell from the sky, swirling around the Eight Precepts along with Conqueror's Haki.
"Ooh-ho-ho-ho!!!"
"It's in!"
"Great Vajrabhairava - Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"
Roger, who was not far away, saw the enemy unleash a full-force attack and his eyes flashed with eager anticipation.
"Ugh~ It's been so long since I used this move. Ever since that bastard Garp from the Navy stopped bothering us for over half a year, I thought this move had no use!"
"young people……"
The sound of hurried running footsteps echoed through the air.
Roger didn't display the speed of Rayleigh; he ran like an ordinary person, sword in hand.
The famous sword Ace held in his hand first turned into a black sword under the influence of Armament Haki.
Then, streaks of black and red lightning coiled around the blade.
"Let me teach you how to use Conqueror's Haki's Entanglement technique!"
"You bastard!!!!"
The famous sword Ace struck first, breaking through the mace's blockade and slashing Kaido in the chest.
Roger grinned, his two black mustaches curling upwards.
"Hey, Rocks's apprentice brat, that's how you use a knife!"
"This strike of mine is a slash that even a god cannot dodge; it is the ultimate application of Conqueror's Haki."
"Remember this feeling, young man!!!"
puff--
Kaido spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolling upwards.
"The Grand Line isn't a place for young people like you to sail casually. Only after I die will this sea and the future truly belong to you!"
"Gods, beware!"
After sheathing his sword and standing still, Roger shaded his eyes with his hand as he watched the enemy fly away, crashing through the trees.
"Oh~ I didn't expect you to still be so skilled at this move after not making a move for so long. But that kid's aura..."
Roger stopped paying attention to Kaido; his purpose in slicing the enemy away was not to toy with him.
Rather, it was to have more time to observe the man fighting Rayleigh.
"Is his name Bazel? That strange aura and 'voice'... there can't be such a coincidence, right? Oh no, I'm thinking of a really troublesome guy..."
Roger covered his face with his left hand and sighed.
"That guy shouldn't have any descendants in this world, hey, Spencer!!"
In the "audience section," a man with a red ponytail stood up.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
"Do you have all the information about Lox?"
"Rocks? Is it Rocks D. Giebeck? Isn't he dead? What do you need his information for?"
Roger picked his nose: "Never mind that. If you don't have it, hurry up and collect it. I've made some incredible discoveries."
"Okay, I'll go get it sorted out right away!"
"Heat Breath!"
He raised his sword to parry, the imposing blade cleaving the incoming flames in two.
Attention shifted from Bazel back to Kaido.
"Come on, let me witness the power of the new generation of pirates on the sea!"
He continued running forward like an ordinary person.
"While you're not as strong as Newgate, you're enough to pique my interest. If you survive this, you'll definitely become a powerhouse comparable to Whitebeard in the future!"
"Hehehe, so you're planning to kill me here? Perfect, I'm planning to kill you too!!"
In his dragon form, Kaido is like a runaway truck hurtling toward the enemy, even before he gets close.
The spiked club had already unleashed several slashes.
Diamond-shaped dart!
"Kill you? No, no, no~"
Roger casually shattered the staff's energy with a single slash, then leaped forward, his speed increasing dramatically upon landing!
A dazzling blade of light shot into Kaido's arms.
"I'm not like that guy Shiki. If you can make me happy, I'll let you go."
"So, use all your strength!"
"Kaido of the Beasts!!"
……
Among the onlookers, ten-year-old Shanks and Bucky huddled together chatting.
"Shanks, those two men are incredibly strong! They managed to fight Captain Roger and First Mate Rayleigh for so long!"
"Yeah, Buggy~"
Shanks crouched on a protruding rock, his eyes filled with longing.
"I wish we could join this battle, it would be so much fun!"
Bucky quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, there's no need for that. I don't want to fight this kind of monster!"
Spencer, who was the intelligence officer for the Roger Pirates, happened to walk over and reached out to rub the heads of the two ten-year-old kids.
"You are all too young. If the Roger Pirates reach the point where even ten-year-old kids have to shoulder the burden of battle, then we are not far from destruction."
"Spencer, where's the information Roger asked for?" Mun Isaac Jr. held out his hand to ask for it.
"That's quite strange," Spencer said, handing over the documents he had just compiled. "You're actually interested in the dead Rocks?"
With his long, triangular nose, Mun Isaac Jr. was intently reviewing the intelligence.
"As the tactical advisor of the Roger Pirates, I must analyze the pros and cons of what needs to be done before the captain makes a decision."
"Furthermore, Captain Roger has never really liked Rocks, so his sudden request for his file must mean he's discovered something strange... Hmm?"
"What's wrong?" Spencer thought there was something wrong with his information and went over to ask.
"No, it was just a bit of an accident. There were witnesses who saw Lox D. Gibbek in the Four Seas 20 years ago."
Spencer dismissed it: "They're probably going to gather crew members. Maybe someone in the Rocks Pirates was born in the South Blue."
"is that so……"
Mun Isaac Jr. didn't care too much; it was difficult to verify the truth of what happened 20 years ago.
Moreover, it remains to be seen whether the so-called eyewitness was mistaken.
"But Spencer, your intelligence-gathering skills are truly impressive."
Spencer laughed heartily:
"This is all intelligence that I started collecting a long time ago; I just organized it once."
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, hahaha~~"
……
[Tree 16, the battleground]
A knife and a punch grazed past, leaving another scar on the opponent's body, and the owner of the fist staggered backward.
Bazel leaned against the raised hill, panting, but his eyes grew brighter.
In his less than half-hour confrontation with Rayleigh, Bazel finally understood his current combat strength.
If this were in the era of the original anime, he would probably be around the level of Jin.
But this doesn't mean that Bazel is not good.
Rather, it was because the quality of pirates from the old era was too high.
If we reverse the timeline, the protagonist Luffy would appear in the era after Rocks' death.
Bazel didn't even dare to imagine what would happen.
It's estimated that Luffy will turn back as soon as he leaves the East Blue.
The golden lions flying around in the sky are not the old men being killed in the theater 30 years later.
That was a great pirate whom Sengoku and Garp fought together for three days and three nights before finally defeating!
If Luffy, fresh off the coast, were to encounter Shiki in his prime, let alone defeat him, even surviving three blows would earn Bazel a thumbs-up.
The young woman and Kaido, the Roger Pirates who were almost all in their prime, and Barolok Redfield, who could fight Whitebeard and Roger's entire crew single-handedly before he ate the Vampire Fruit...
If Luffy had been born in his era, he wouldn't have even been able to eat the Nika Fruit.
Even if Nika awakens at the start, Bazel doesn't believe that the other party can reach the New World!
"As expected of the renowned Dark King Rayleigh..."
Bazel wiped the blood seeping from his forehead, and his previously dejected spirit rose again.
"Should we continue?"
Rayleigh opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.
"Your strength is not bad, and your Devil Fruit has been developed very well, but your Haki is too immature. On this ocean, Haki is the key to everything."
"The stronger the body and the better the talent, the more outstanding the Armament Haki will naturally be."
"In addition to your innate kingly qualities, you already have the ticket to climb to the summit of the sea."
"But all of this is contingent on you surviving."
"So, Bazelsan, leave here. I don't want to kill a genius. I look forward to seeing you grow up. Only then will you be worthy of my full strength."
