Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

"Senior Rayleigh."

As soon as Xia Qi finished speaking, Chihong, the Straw Hat Pirates' diplomatic attaché, stepped forward and said politely:

"I'm sorry to disturb your secluded life."

"But we have no ill intentions in coming here this time. Just as Ms. Xia Qi said, we are here to learn from you how to use the higher level of domineering power!"

The red body once again released a small amount of domineering aura, but this time he did not transform it into offensive pressure. Instead, he tried hard to wrap it around his fist.

However, even a "martial arts" genius like Luffy finds it difficult to master the advanced technique of Conqueror's Haki, so how could Red master it easily?

As a faint black electric light flashed in the air, the invisible domineering aura of the king instantly shattered like a bubble and disappeared.

Chihong continued:

"The entanglement of Conqueror's Haki, the externalization and internal destruction of Armament Haki, the prediction of the future of Observation Haki..."

"This is a power that only the truly powerful people in the world can master!"

"I hope Mr. Rayleigh can teach us all these skills."

"In contrast, our Straw Hat Pirates will inherit the will of the Roger Pirates and complete and surpass all your glory!"

"Become the new pinnacle of pirates!!!"

"A new pinnacle of pirates!?"

A bright white light suddenly flashed from Rayleigh's round lens.

He was originally amazed that Red was able to grasp the subsequent development information of the three-color domineering in the first half of the Grand Line, but his expression suddenly changed and he revealed an interested smile.

"What arrogant little brats!"

"Hey~! This is not arrogance, uncle!"

At this moment, Luffy stood up, his dissatisfaction written directly on his face, and then shouted at Rayleigh:

"One Piece! I'm determined!!!"

Peng!

The collision of fists and palms made a crisp sound, representing Luffy's inner excitement at the moment.

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh suddenly raised his head, and his old but not turbid eyes swept over the Straw Hat Pirates.

Finally, it stopped on the straw hat on Luffy's head.

For a moment, the dusty memories in his mind inexplicably loosened, and a figure from the past suddenly emerged and began to overlap with Luffy in front of him.

If he had doubts before, after seeing Luffy's expression at this moment, he was able to confirm...

"Monkey D. Luffy..." Rayleigh said in a deep voice with his eyes flashing: "The straw hat on your head should be given to you by Shanks, right? "

"Huh? Uncle, you still know Shanks!?"

Luffy, who was originally very imposing, was stunned for a moment.

Usopp was unable to complain:

"Have you forgotten, Luffy!?"

"Shanks and this Uncle Rayleigh in front of us are both members of the Roger Pirates..."

"Isn't this the information that Red told us a long time ago!?"

"Huh? That's right~"

Luffy, who had been so tough just now, suddenly became stupid. He slammed his palm suddenly and suddenly realized something, muttering:

"Yes, yes, that's what Chihong said. She did say that."

“Souga Souga…”

"You idiot!"

Zoro and Sanji walked up to Luffy, looking helpless.

Didn’t we agree to continue to be handsome together and give Roger’s pirate group’s vice-captain a warning?

You guy suddenly shows such an expression, how are we going to perform the next scene?

Don’t you know that this will make us look stupid?

At this moment, even the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates showed ashamed expressions.

Seeing this scene, Rayleigh and Xia Qi burst out laughing.

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

Rayleigh stared at Luffy with a hint of nostalgia on his face.

"I think I know why Shanks gave you that straw hat!"

As he spoke, he looked at Chi Hong again:

"You're still not satisfied after defeating the admiral of the navy!?"

"It's really very heroic!"

"For the sake of what you just said, please allow this old man to mislead the young people once more!"

"Ah!?" The corner of Chihong's mouth twitched slightly.

Although he knew that Rayleigh was being modest, he still couldn't help but say:

"Please don't say that, Rayleigh-senpai."

I've been praising your teaching abilities all the way.

If your words come true, I'll be embarrassed...

You can't really go to the New World to find Kaido and ask him for the technique of entanglement with Conqueror's Haki, right?

Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chihong suddenly stepped forward and asked seriously:

"Also, Senior Rayleigh..."

"Although I don't doubt your teaching ability, nor am I worried that you won't be able to guide Luffy and the others well, nor am I afraid that you don't know how to start..."

"Anyway, can the teaching method be carried out as I wish?!"

"........."

Rayleigh: I suspect you are implying something, but I have no evidence.

……

……

After a while.

In the Sabaody Archipelago, a small island that has become a ruin.

Rayleigh and the three strongest Straw Hat fighters came to an open space.

Chihong took the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates and Xia Qi to find a relatively clean place in the ruins.

"Well, although the location is a bit too cramped, it seems that there are no better options in the short term."

Rayleigh took off his robe and threw it hard at the branches in the distance.

Then he slowly took off his gown, revealing a muscular figure with perfectly symmetrical muscles, as if containing infinite power.

It’s hard to imagine that Raleigh was already 76 years old at this time!

I saw him get into position, with a strong aura flowing on the surface of his body.

Opposite him, Luffy and the other two also took up their positions, forming a triangle formation and surrounding Rayleigh.

The invisible momentum rose again.

Even though he already knew that his and his companions' Conqueror Haki would not be a match for Rayleigh, not to mention that Red was missing...

But at this moment, Luffy and the other two suddenly released a mighty domineering aura.

In an instant, the entire ruins seemed to be swept by a fierce storm.

The sky and the earth changed color, and dust flew!

……

……

At the same time, on top of a tall building not far away.

Usopp looked confused and worried.

"Is this method really feasible, Red?"

"Although the opponent is the vice-captain of Roger's pirate group, he is facing the combined forces of Luffy and the other two..."

"Isn't this too much of a bullying of the elderly?"

Obviously, Usopp's concern is not directed at Luffy.

Instead, he was afraid that the Straw Hat Pirates would be given a bad reputation for not respecting the elderly and loving the young.

After all, after seeing the strength of Kona's Pokémon, he knew very well how powerful the power was that could easily defeat the opponent without relying on any props!

"Don't worry, Usopp."

In response to Usopp's doubts, Akane answered calmly.

"I've already told Luffy and the others not to use Pokémon's powers unless necessary."

"Based on their current basic stats, they are still a long way from being able to fight against a strong man like Rayleigh!"

"Oh, so that's it."

Hearing this, Usopp immediately nodded in understanding.

If that was the case, then he could understand it.

After all, for Luffy and the others, not using the power of Pokémon is like not allowing them to use various insects and seeds. It is simply an all-round castration of their strength.

And this is actually the teaching method that Chihong came up with to prevent Teacher Rayleigh from "misleading his students."

By using the three colors of Haki in battle, Luffy and others can intuitively feel the various applications of Haki techniques!

Because they cannot stay in the Sabaody Archipelago for too long, this simple and efficient teaching method is most suitable for them.

Moreover, it is a rare opportunity to invite Senior Rayleigh to come out of seclusion. Akane's minimum expectation for this teaching is to let Luffy at least learn the entanglement of domineering domineering!

……

……

boom! ! !

Just as Akane and the others were chatting, the battle between Luffy and his two companions and Rayleigh started in an instant on the open ground!

Since they couldn't use the power of Pokémon, the three of them used their own unique skills.

The war god Luffy, whose body was covered with dark red lines, took the lead in attacking.

With a speed even faster than shaving, he punched directly at the location where Rayleigh was.

The huge fist shadow smashed a huge pit several meters deep in the entire open space.

However, the next second, Luffy's body was suddenly picked up easily like a ball, and then smashed hard into the ruins next to him.

"Is this a combination of Armament Haki + Fruit Power!?"

"No wonder you were able to defeat Admiral Kizaru..."

Standing in the deep pit, Rayleigh felt the strength coming from his arm and couldn't help but praise Luffy.

At this age, I can have this strength...

Luffy's potential is indeed worthy of that straw hat.

However, at this moment, a dark shadow like lightning suddenly fell from the sky.

Zoro's body was surrounded by creepy black ghost energy, and the three long swords were attached to the ghost energy.

"Three Swords Style·Evil·Demon Slash!!!"

Whoosh! ! !

There are no overly gorgeous special effects, nor too much momentum.

Everything seemed to happen in a different time and space, but Zoro's figure appeared directly in front of Rayleigh as if teleporting.

Although there is no Pokémon energy attached, after possessing the ghost attribute, Zoro, who uses the ghost sword moves, has changed his previous bold style.

Even the fighting figures became illusory.

"What!?"

Rayleigh was slightly surprised when he experienced the Ghost Sword for the first time.

His observation Haki didn't even notice how Zoro appeared in front of him in the air.

However, without the support of dragon-attribute energy, Zoro's strength is greatly reduced, and he is at most at the level of an elite lieutenant admiral.

Rayleigh just used a little force to punch and successfully blocked Zoro's slash.

The next second, the armed color domineering that was originally attached to the fist suddenly erupted.

"Your name is Roronoa Zoro, right?!"

Rayleigh did not forget the real purpose of this battle, and suddenly raised his head to remind Zoro:

"Okay..."

"This is how you use the Armament Haki!!!"

Peng! ! ! !

Just like a huge cannonball falling right between Rayleigh and Zoro, a violent impact storm suddenly raged up, instantly knocking Zoro's body away.

However, at this moment, a figure wrapped in flames suddenly appeared behind Rayleigh.

"Humph, Green Algae Head, you are so weak!"

Sanji, who could still use his technological body to erupt in grand flames even without Pokémon energy, laughed.

After activating the ability of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit, his figure was as fast as a flash of lightning, carrying endless flames as he kicked straight towards Rayleigh's back.

"What a terrifying speed!"

At this moment, Rayleigh had already expressed his admiration for the strength of the Straw Hat Big Three for the nth time.

Fortunately, his old body is not yet to the point where he cannot move.

Under the observation Haki, Sanji's attack route had already been grasped by Rayleigh.

That's why he was even more amazed at Zoro's strange movements just now.

boom! ! !

Before Sanji could shout out the name of this kick, Rayleigh stomped hard on the ground.

His body also moved quickly to the side in an instant, causing Sanji's raging flaming kick to only hit an open space, making a loud noise.

……

……

“Is this the world’s top power?”

"Isn't it too strong?!"

Although I know that Luffy and the other two didn't use their full strength, I still saw them being knocked away one after another as if they were being played by Rayleigh...

The Straw Hat guys who were watching the battle from a distance finally couldn't help but sigh.

Nami crossed her arms over her chest, clamped the weather stick in the mysterious ravine and smacked her lips secretly:

"When we arrive in the new world, will we face enemies like this?!"

"more or less!"

Chi Hong on the side replied calmly:

"Rather, we are facing an enemy that is even more powerful than Senior Rayleigh!"

Although Rayleigh is powerful, he is only at the level of the Four Emperors.

According to the general setting of anime world, sooner or later the pirate world will reach a point where admirals are as numerous as dogs and the Four Emperors are everywhere.

Therefore, in order to deal with powerful enemies in the future, the Straw Hat Pirates must at least have all members reach the level of admiral to meet Red's expectations of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Stronger than Rayleigh-senpai... The new world is really terrifying."

Chopper, who was currently researching a new form of the Human-Human Fruit, immediately began to tremble upon hearing this.

It was Usopp, however, who stood up at this time to show off his bravery.

"Hey, don't worry, Chopper!"

"When you get to the new world, just hold on to my thighs tightly!"

"Franky and I are ready to create a new Green Devil armor with ice attributes!"

"It won't be long before you can become a new Armored Hero like me!!!"

"Wow! Really, Usopp, Franky!?"

“Thank you so much!!!”

Chopper, who was originally worried about the powerful enemy, immediately shouted excitedly after hearing this.

For a moment, the entire Straw Hat Pirates were filled with laughter.

Such a scene made Xia Qi standing next to him secretly dazed.

"After seeing Rayleigh's strength, I didn't feel the slightest bit of fear..."

"The strength of this Straw Hat Pirates may be even stronger than what is written in the intelligence."
