One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 105: The Showdown Between Two Rayles!

"Um?"

Peak Whitebeard was the first to notice Chen Ye's unusual behavior. He moved closer with his massive body and asked in a puzzled tone.

"What's wrong, Chen Ye?"

His voice made Marco, Vista, and the others who were drinking together stop and turn to look at him with questioning eyes.

Even Luffy and Ace, who were fighting fiercely over a piece of meat, subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked over curiously.

Chen Ye didn't turn around, but a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"It's nothing."

He spoke calmly.

"However, our guests have arrived."

"guest?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Peak Whitebeard raised an eyebrow and put down the barrel of liquor in his hand.

"On this vast ocean, who would dare to come uninvited and become our 'guest' now?"

Could it be that red-haired kid?

No, no, no, Dad!

Chen Ye's lips curled into a playful smile. He turned around, but his gaze did not fall on the white-bearded man. Instead, it landed on Rayleigh, who was at his peak and silently drinking with Zoro not far away.

I think it would be more appropriate for Mr. Raleigh to receive this guest.

Oh? Me?

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh, who was in the middle of a drinking contest, put down his glass, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Chen Ye nodded with a serious expression.

"That's right, Mr. Raleigh."

He raised his finger and pointed to something in the distance that was constantly approaching them in the water.

"Do you see that thing up ahead... getting closer and closer to us?"

Everyone followed Chen Ye's gaze.

In the distance, a dark shadow was rushing straight towards the sea at a speed too fast for the naked eye to see, breaking through the water and leaving a long white spray.

Chen Ye continued.

I think you should stab it.

Furthermore, it would be best to equip it with Conqueror's Haki.

This cryptic statement left everyone completely bewildered.

But Rayleigh at his peak smiled.

He stood up, stretched his shoulders, and his bones cracked and popped.

"Oh? Since you've put it that way..."

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

With a sudden burst of power from his legs, Rayleigh, at his peak, shot into the sky like a cannonball!

He had already drawn his sword while he was in mid-air!

Without the slightest hesitation, a fierce and unparalleled slash tore through the air, the sword wrapped in black and red Conqueror's Haki, transforming into a destructive arc of light that cleaved straight towards the seemingly calm sea surface!

at the same time.

In the sea.

An elderly man with white hair and beard was swimming at an astonishing speed.

It was none other than "Pluto" Silvers Rayleigh, who had come all the way from the Sabaody Archipelago.

He swam while muttering to himself.

"Honestly, that kid Chen Ye gave me such a big surprise, and he didn't even know how to restrain himself. Now I, an old man, have to come all this way."

"However, seeing my younger self and another Nika after Captain Roger isn't such a loss after all..."

Just then!

His hair stood on end. He felt an extreme killing intent descend from the sky and lock onto him!

Ok?

Old Ridley suddenly looked up.

In the sky, a terrifying sword aura, powerful enough to cleave a meteorite in two, was slashing toward him at an unreasonable speed!

"asshole!"

Old Rayleigh cursed under his breath, not daring to take the blow head-on. His body instantly unleashed astonishing power, diving deeper into the sea!

boom!!!

The sword energy slashed into the sea, instantly splitting the surface of the sea into a huge, bottomless trench. The seawater surged wildly to both sides, creating towering waves!

On the shore, Rayleigh, who had launched the attack, landed steadily beside the group, raising an eyebrow as he watched his attack miss.

"Did you dodge it? You've got some skills."

Seeing this, everyone roughly guessed who the newcomer was.

as predicted!

next second!

The sea surface, which had been cleaved open, suddenly exploded!

A golden figure emerged from the water like a dragon, carrying a terrifying killing intent, and shot straight toward the peak Rayleigh on the shore!

Upon seeing the newcomer, Rayleigh's smile widened even further.

"Will I still have this much presence in my old age?"

He went to meet them, and the two men's identical famous swords clashed fiercely in mid-air!

Clang!

The ear-piercing clang of metal clashing, accompanied by a domineering black and red lightning bolt, spread wildly in all directions!

The two landed separately, ten meters apart, facing each other from a distance.

At his peak, Rayleigh, sword in hand and eyes as sharp as an eagle, sized up his aged self, whose imposing presence remained undiminished, and quipped, "Oh my, you old bones, you're still got some spirit..."

Old Rayleigh wiped the seawater off his face, his eyes equally solemn. He could feel the domineering and unparalleled power emanating from the other man, a power that was at its peak.

"Even in my younger days, your attacks are still so sharp."

"Enough with the nonsense, old man." A fighting spirit slowly rose in Rayleigh's eyes. "Come, let me see how much strength I still have after decades!"

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Before the words were even finished, the two of them vanished from the spot!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A burst of intense clashing sounds erupted instantly!

The two figures transformed into two streaks of light that were difficult to detect with the naked eye, colliding wildly on the beach!

Each collision unleashes blinding sparks and powerful shockwaves!

Black and red Conqueror's Haki lightning raged wildly between the two, each strike carrying overwhelming pressure!

Their swords didn't even actually touch; the mere clash of sword intents imbued with top-tier domineering power generated a terrifying force capable of destroying everything!

The two Rayles gave the audience a spectacular swordsmanship performance!

Marco stared in disbelief, then couldn't help but ask, "Dad, do all strong people like to fight themselves?"

"Of course!" The old white-bearded man took a swig of wine and laughed heartily. "Everyone has an enemy they can never defeat, and that is themselves!"

Now I finally have the chance to fight myself. Even though I'm a bit old, it's like fulfilling a lifelong wish!

"So that's how it is!" Marco exclaimed in sudden realization.

The battle between the two Rayles continues.

However, just like the difference between an old white beard and a white beard in its prime.

Old Rayleigh's swordsmanship, Haki, and experience are impeccable, but his biggest problem is his stamina.

As the battle continued, his breathing gradually became heavy, and the speed of his sword strikes slowed down slightly.

At his peak, Rayleigh astutely grasped this point. He forced his opponent back with a single sword strike, a confident smile spreading across his face as he quipped, "Hey, old man, are you still up for your game?"

"You're already out of breath?"

"I... haven't even warmed up yet!"
