Hearing Rayleigh's threatening declaration, Im, who was standing in the air, was not surprised but overjoyed. He had long been looking forward to finding someone to try his methods on.
Although the memory of his predecessor gave him a basic idea of his level, and he often practiced sword dancing, in the final analysis, memory is memory, and practice is still practice.
Isn’t the ‘Pluto’ Rayleigh in front of me now the best test subject?
Although I don’t know why this guy came to Marigio without anything, but since he is looking for death, let’s just give him a ride.
What's the saying?
We are all mortal, and some people need a little help!
As for the danger...it can only be said that the highest combat power alone cannot bring him such a rare feeling.
at the same time,
The rapid sound of breaking through the air resounded in the air again. Although the sound was not very loud, it was clearer because there was no other noise and it was night again.
Seeing this, Rayleigh shouted violently, and the strength and domineering power in his body could no longer be reserved. He exploded with ferocity. Waves of air came out without wind, blowing his brilliant blond hair and his clothes to flutter.
"Hell!!"
In an instant, his whole body swelled, his muscles, bones, and muscle membranes all swelled. The bones all over his body crackled and exploded, and the muscles on his right arm swelled by three points.
At the moment when the long sword flashing densely with silver electric light in his hand was slashing in front of him, the bright sword light burst out and lit up the whole audience, and finally formed a huge crescent-shaped flying slash and slashed vertically.
The air that was affected along the way turned into billowing energy under the extreme pressure, forcing all the invisible swords around it away. The Adam Wood Field on the ground, worth hundreds of millions of beli, cut deep cracks like tofu.
At this moment, Mihawk felt the emotions of the people who witnessed him swinging a challenging knife at 'Whitebeard' during the war in the original timeline.
Their eyes were filled with silver light, and the three of them stared blankly at the shocking huge sword light heading towards Lord Jorakor/Im, including the Five Old Stars upstairs and the many CP men in black on guard outside the castle gate.
.
"Um?!"
But the flying slashes, which were so majestic, violent and ferocious, constantly flickering with dangerous electric current, were flying a little slowly, and getting slower and slower, which made everyone's eyes look weird.
It was like a slow-motion scene filled with speeds of more than ten times, and it was struggling to get close to Im's place in the air amid the dense ripples of air.
I don’t know how long it took, but when it finally reached three meters in front of me, it exploded with relief and shattered into dots of silver light all over the sky, filling the entire place like starlight falling from the sky.
The scene was so beautiful, but Rayleigh's expression became extremely ugly, and his mood fell to the bottom of the abyss.
"This is impossible......"
Even if Roger was still alive, he would have to use "Divine Avoidance" to deal with his "Hell" move, but... But this strange Tianlong man blocked it by just putting his hands behind his back!
But Rayleigh is Rayleigh after all. As the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, he has the ability to maintain basic rationality and calmness at all times, and frantically analyzes the situation just now in his mind.
"Is that an air wall?"
"Armed and domineering!"
"But how can there be such a powerful and terrifying armed Haki in the world?"
At this moment, the 'Pluto' looked up at Imton under the full moon and realized that the latter was not actually floating in the air with his fruit power, but 'stepping on' the invisible armed domineering energy!
But it was precisely this that shocked Rayleigh. This was beyond his understanding of domineering.
It is true that domineering energy can be released to affect real matter, but that kind of release is explosive and cannot last long. If you want to maintain it for a long time, it can only be condensed on the surface of the body, that is, 'hardened', or wrapped around the body like Qi.
Generally volatilizes, that is, 'winding'.
In fact, this is indeed a level of domineering that exceeds those of their top external combat powers.
Gu Xun
For more than 800 years, the predecessor, Im, has been constantly polishing, refining, and studying Haki. He has cultivated the Haki of Overlord, the Haki of Arms, and the Haki of Wisdom and Knowledge to nearly the limit, and then merged them into one.
From then on, for him, domineering no longer had any category.
The hardening, external release, and internal penetration of the armed domineering force, the super wide range of the seeing and hearing domineering force, the ability to sense aura, predict actions, predict the future, and the intimidation, coercion, and entanglement of the overlord-colored domineering force.
These features are completely integrated.
Coupled with the accumulation of knowledge over the years, the level of domineering reserves has already reached the limit that the mind can accommodate.
Not only that.
Over these long years, the swordsmanship level of the predecessor Im has already surpassed the level of a great swordsman. He called this state the 'Sword Master'.
Over the past hundreds of years, he has seen many amazing swordsmen and wizards, but only Ryoma from Wano Country could come infinitely close to this level.
This is also the main reason why Ryoma was able to defeat the navy admiral at that time and was called the 'God of Swords'!
But in the opinion of his predecessor Im, only when Ryoma has completely stepped into the realm of sword master can he be worthy of the title of Sword God.
Unfortunately, the latter does not have the ability to live forever, and was eventually defeated by a mortal body that slowly decayed under the erosion of time.
Since then, the predecessor Im has gone a step further, combining his own swordsmanship with his haki, forming these invisible sword auras that can appear anywhere within the range of his haki.
The predecessor, Im, called it the ‘territory of God’!
"Ant, feel honored to die in this place. For you, this is already a great honor and gift in this life."
Im's abilities are not complicated, and there are not so many bells and whistles. He has experienced his own methods personally, and his interest in Rayleigh has gradually declined.
He wanted to use a more gorgeous scene to send the 'King of Hades' to the real underworld. As for whether Rayleigh could become the king there, it was not up to him.
[Sizzsssssssssssssss————]
The next moment, Rayleigh stepped on the court that represented the 'first half of the Grand Line' and saw sword lights flashing with silver lightning gradually condensing behind Im.
Their number increased crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon the night sky in all directions was completely covered with dense electric lights.
With his squinted eyes, Rayleigh could notice that the sword energy itself was actually invisible and transparent, but it was constantly emerging under the flickering light of lightning.
"Can these sword energy still surround the overlord's domineering energy... It really caused a big trouble~~"
At this moment, Xia Qi's face appeared in his mind.
"I should have known..."
【Swish, swish, swish, swish!】
All the lightning sword radiance turned into unparalleled silver lightning, like a pouring rain under the moonlight, the silver wind blew, condensing the boundless murderous intention, completely drowning, shrouding, and covering Rayleigh, who was wielding the long sword in his hand with all his strength.
.
The light group with the same silver lightning was wildly bombarded by countless silver lightnings. Sword energy and sword energy became entangled, fierce offensive and defensive battles, lightning and lightning continued to collide, explode, and annihilate.
The stadium engraved with the 'Grand Line' beneath him also cracked and shattered, as if the all-out battle between the two caused the sea to roll back and the sky to shatter.
I don’t know how long it took, but the light ball began to flicker non-stop. Wisps of bright red blood droplets spattered under the moonlight, and then were evaporated by a certain electric light and turned into dots of blood mist.
Sudden.
Mihawk and others discovered that the lightning sword energy in the air was no longer increasing. When the last lightning hit the ground, they saw that 'Pluto' Rayleigh had fallen to the ground, with his back, arms, and legs filled with invisible silver lightning.
Sword Qi, his eyes were on the verge of death, and the long sword in his hand had long been broken.
"Roger...it seems that my voyage...has come to an end. This...this adventurous life...is really good."
