chapter 45

Conqueror's Haki! Although only Roger's deputy, Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki is definitely not inferior to Roger's. If it is hierarchical, it will definitely be at the highest level, even breaking the boundaries of Conqueror's Haki!

High-level Conqueror's Haki possesses terrifying destructive power!

It can even tear through the sky!

Suddenly, Rayleigh leaped high... soaring hundreds of meters into the sky!

His long knife was swiftly drawn from its sheath!

A pale sword aura erupted loudly and crashed into the ground.

With this strike, Rayleigh clearly gave it his all.

When it comes to swordsmanship, Rayleigh is undoubtedly a great swordsman, and when a great swordsman goes all out, the power is absolutely terrifying!

The devastating sword energy directly tore through the ground.

The rocky island was split in half right from its center!

Moreover, Rayleigh's sword seemed to have destroyed the foundation of the island. The split island gradually sank into the sea. Rayleigh looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "Boy... the venue is destroyed, let's end our competition for now."

In Rayleigh's view, Mu Feng possesses Devil Fruit powers.

Without a foothold on the sea, those with abilities are essentially rendered powerless.

"End it!? Now you want to end it... Why would you want to do that?" Mu Feng's voice resounded, his fighting spirit soaring. "Wood Style · Wooden Golem Jutsu!"

The rocky island sank, but a giant figure larger than the island emerged.

With a wooden dragon on each shoulder, Mu Feng stood atop the head of the Wooden Golem. The Golem stood in the sea, with the water only reaching its knees.

The Wooden Golem approached Rayleigh, who stood on the water, and Rayleigh's expression showed some surprise.

The reason for his shock wasn't the enormous Wooden Golem itself. After all, there are many giants in the Pirate World who are even bigger than this Wooden Golem. What stunned Rayleigh was Mu Feng at this moment, with vermilion lines appearing on his face... (Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The state of the body can also be called Sage Mode!

"Wood Style · Sunro Vientiane!"

The enhancement to Wood Style in Sage Mode is absolutely terrifying, and Sun Luo Wanxiang is undoubtedly one of the most powerful ninjutsu techniques in Wood Style. Countless roots suddenly sprouted from the depths of the sea, entwining Rayleigh. Although Rayleigh is not a Devil Fruit user and is unaffected by the sea, maintaining balance while standing on water requires strength.

At this moment, he was entangled by the surrounding roots, and Rayleigh couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Mainly because, under the infusion of Mu Feng's immortal power, the growth of Sanluo Vientiane would never cease.

Anyone would find themselves in a predicament facing such a situation.

Rayleigh knew very well that he couldn't remain entangled with these roots indefinitely.

Otherwise, once his energy is depleted, he would be defeated.

Rayleigh shifted his focus to Mu Feng on the Wooden Golem... it was crucial to deal with Mu Feng first. Once Mu Feng is taken care of, these roots will naturally disappear.

Clearing a path with his sword aura, Rayleigh stepped on the air and attacked Mu Feng.

"Good, come at me! Sage Art · Mingshenmen!" Mu Feng suddenly smirked.

Rayleigh became alert, his attention shifting to the surface of the sea below. He didn't know what else would emerge from the sea. However, Rayleigh miscalculated... this time, it wasn't from below, but from above!

A vermilion torii-shaped structure descended from the sky!

It crashed directly onto Rayleigh's body, leaving him no time to react. The Mingshen gate stood on Rayleigh's body, smashing him into the sea.

If this were done to someone with abilities, they would surely meet their demise.

Though Rayleigh was not a Devil Fruit user, the strength of the Mingshen Gate was used to confine beasts. When Rayleigh resurfaced from the sea, he was already in a panic, gasping heavily for air. Breaking free from the shackles of the Mingshen Gate in the sea had drained him of too much physical strength. After all, Rayleigh was no longer young.

"Do you still want to continue the contest?" Mu Feng condescendingly said with indifference.

Rayleigh looked helpless and replied, "Stop... Stop fighting. If we continue, my old bones will fall apart."

"Then, does my strength still impress you, senior?" Mu Feng smiled faintly.

Rayleigh smiled bitterly.

This kind of strength is probably not much different from that of Shanks.

How could such a terrifying individual suddenly appear on the sea?

"I'm joining your Hunter's Guild. Come on, kid... what is your purpose? My old bones can't handle much more." Rayleigh sighed.

"The purpose? Haven't I already said it... It's as simple as setting up a hunter guild to accept any task for everyone, to be executed by our approved hunters. If you want a deeper purpose," Mu Feng frowned.

After a moment, he smiled freely and said, "Don't you think... this sea is too monotonous with only marines and pirates? Let our hunter guild infuse this sea with new vitality... Let's turn the world upside down, isn't that exciting... Ahahaha."

In the end, Mu Feng burst into cheerful laughter.

Looking at Mu Feng, Rayleigh was momentarily lost in thought, memories flashing in his eyes. Decades ago, the guy with the straw hat had similarly enthralled him on the same ship. Rayleigh suddenly laughed and said, "Well, I'll go crazy while my old bones can still move. I hear you, if this sea is only occupied by pirates and marines, it would indeed be a bit monotonous."

Rayleigh had a feeling that in this sea, very soon...

It would ignite an era of hunters, just like when Roger set off the pirate frenzy!
