Chapter 46 Conqueror's Haki vs. Observation Haki! A clash of sword and fist!
Is that all?
done?
Marco was also a bit confused and bewildered. They just agreed like that?
No, I should say... things have progressed to that point so quickly?
"However, the space here is too small to operate freely."
Upon hearing Rayleigh's words, Chen Ye's fervent fighting spirit remained undiminished; instead, he grinned and became even more excited.
"If we make too much noise and attract those lackeys of the navy, it would be a huge disappointment."
Upon hearing this, Rayleigh's appreciative smile deepened.
This young man may be a bit arrogant, but he is very meticulous and not a mindless brute.
"That's right."
He stood up, and the moment his seemingly hunched body straightened, he exuded an aura of the old era.
"Come with me, I know a good place."
After saying that, Rayleigh pushed open the bar door and walked out first.
Chen Ye followed without hesitation.
"Hey! Chen Ye!"
Marco snapped to attention and hurriedly chased after him, his face filled with a look of terror that seemed to say, "Are you out of your mind?"
After the three left, Xia Qi, behind the bar, stubbed out her cigarette, a playful smile curving her lips.
She picked up a coat and quietly followed him out.
……
The Sabaody Archipelago, a vast area of Argyll mangrove forests far from any town.
This place is sparsely populated, with only huge tree roots intertwined and blocking out the sun.
Rayleigh stopped in a relatively open space and turned around.
"This will do."
His voice was calm, but the air around him seemed to be stirring with unease.
Chen Ye stood opposite him, dozens of meters away, yet he could feel the oppressive aura of an impending storm, and the blood in his body began to boil uncontrollably.
Marco, standing to the side, nervously swallowed, already prepared to transform into a phoenix at any moment to save people.
Not far away, on the canopy of a huge mangrove tree, Xia Qi's figure quietly appeared. She lit another cigarette and, like a keen audience member, looked down at the stage below with great interest.
In the field.
Rayleigh slowly raised his right hand and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Clang!
A clear, metallic scraping sound rang out as he slowly drew the seemingly ordinary Western sword.
Just as the longsword was fully drawn from its sheath!
boom--!
An invisible yet seemingly tangible kingly aura swept across the entire area, centered on Rayleigh!
Conqueror's Haki!
This domineering aura is not as sharp and aggressive as it was in his youth. Instead, it is like a bottomless ocean, calm and vast, with an absolute majesty that reigns supreme!
The air was still, and the entire mangrove forest was shrouded in a deathly silence!
Even Marco, who was standing next to him, instantly became tense!
Is this... the true aura of the former Pirate King Roger's first mate?
However, Chen Ye, who was at the center of the oppressive aura, still stood straight!
He faced the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki head-on, refusing to yield an inch, his fervent fighting spirit even transforming into a hearty, unrestrained laugh!
"Hahaha! That's more like it! This is the feeling I've been waiting for!"
Before he could finish speaking, the ground beneath Chen Ye's feet suddenly trembled!
Click!
Centered on him, spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread out!
Battle is imminent!
"Here you are, kid!"
Rayleigh's voice still echoed in the same spot, but he had already vanished!
The next instant, a silver streak tore through the air with a sharp explosion and appeared in front of Chen Ye!
too fast!
So fast that it's impossible for the naked eye to see it!
In Marco's vision, Rayleigh seemed to teleport, slashing his sword towards Chen Ye's neck!
The blade was covered with a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki, and wherever it passed, even space itself seemed to be ripped open with a tiny crack!
Faced with this fatal blow that could cleave mountains, Chen Ye's body leaned back at an unbelievable angle, his entire upper body almost parallel to the ground!
laugh!
The sharp blade, carrying the edge to cut through everything, narrowly missed the tip of his nose!
A few strands of black hair were severed by the sword wind and slowly drifted down.
Despite missing his target with his sword, Rayleigh's offensive continued relentlessly.
With a flick of the wrist, the horizontal slash transformed into a downward chop, swift as lightning and powerful as a thunderbolt!
Chen Ye seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He suddenly exerted force with his feet and slid several meters to the side like a ghost, dodging the deadly sword once again!
Boom!
The sword blade struck the air, but the terrifying sword energy carved a huge, bottomless ravine into the ground!
"Oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Rayleigh's eyes.
The young man's evasive maneuver had a hint of prophecy, as if he could see... a glimpse into the future!
This is no longer just simple Observation Haki; it seems this kid has honed his Observation Haki to the point where he can briefly see into the future!
But kid!
"You can't beat me by just hiding!"
Rayleigh gave a soft shout, and his sword stance changed again!
In an instant, the sky was filled with silver sword light, like a gale and a sudden rain, completely enveloping Chen Ye from all directions!
Each sword flash represents a potentially fatal strike!
However, Chen Ye was like a fallen leaf in a stormy sea, dodging and weaving through the storm of swords, avoiding every attack by the slightest margin, appearing completely at ease!
At the same time, the system notifications in his mind were refreshing like a waterfall!
[Ding! Legendary sword technique 'Hades Slash' detected... Initiating analysis...]
[Ding! Top-tier Armament Haki binding technique detected... Initiating analysis...]
[Ding! Top-tier Conqueror's Haki detected... Analyzing...]
[SSR·Peak Rayleigh's illustration resolution increases rapidly...50%...65%...80%...]
This is it!
Chen Ye was overjoyed!
That's exactly the feeling he wanted! To recklessly test the limits of fighting legendary figures, to squeeze out all their power, and then to make it his own!
"My turn, Mr. Raleigh!"
A loud shout!
After narrowly avoiding another slash, Chen Ye stopped dodging, clenched his right fist, bulged his arm muscles, and unleashed a powerful punch at the gap in Rayleigh's sword swing!
Om-!
His fist was covered with a visible white halo, and the surrounding air cracked like glass under this power!
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!
Rayleigh's eyes widened in shock. He sensed a terrifying power within the white aura that was capable of overturning everything!
He didn't have time to change his move, so he could only push his Armament Haki to the limit and block with his sword held horizontally in front of his chest!
"Smash it!"
Chen Ye's fist did not strike the sword directly.
Instead, it suddenly stopped a few centimeters away from the blade!
The next moment, the condensed and unyielding vibration force suddenly erupted!
Click!
A crisp sound!
The space in front of Rayleigh was like a mirror, shattered by this punch!
The terrifying shockwave pierced through the spatial rift and slammed violently into Rayleigh's sword!
clang--!
A deafening clang of metal clashing echoed throughout the entire forest!
Rayleigh felt an unparalleled force coming from the sword, which made his hands go numb and his whole body uncontrollably retreat more than ten meters. His feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground before he regained his footing!
He glanced down at his beloved sword.
A barely perceptible crack appeared on the sword!
Rayleigh suddenly raised his head, and for the first time, his eyes revealed genuine shock when he looked at Chen Ye!
You can't be wrong!
This brat...
Not only can it predict its own attacks, but it also possesses such bizarre and domineering destructive power!
Where on earth did this monstrous newbie come from?
