One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

He had put all his strength into this strike, an attack without any defense. The price he paid was that when facing Xuanwu's anti-armor ability, he no longer had enough strength in his body to deal with it.

"puff……"

Roger, who was flying backwards in the air, spat out a mouthful of blood and felt a burning pain in his internal organs. It went without saying that his old injuries had relapsed.

After calming his mind, Roger managed to land on the ground, then swung "Ace" again, casually slashed out a hundred-foot-long blade of light, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"Crack!"

Carson, who had already recovered from his basalt form to a half-beast, crushed the blade light with ease, stepped on the starlight that had turned into scattered blade light, and chased after Roger along the path he had taken.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, flashed back and forth on the battlefield.

But in just a few minutes, Carsent had chased Roger around the entire island several times.

Now the disadvantage of the Observation Haki that it cannot predict the future is revealed. Roger's running is like teleportation, and there is no way to guess where he will appear next.

So even if he tried his best, he could only lag behind Roger by one body length.

After chasing for a few minutes and making sure that Roger had enough strength to last for a while, Carsent stopped and ran towards Jabba.

……

While Roger and Carsen were chasing each other, the outcome on Kaido's side had already been decided.

Just three minutes ago, Rayleigh's physical strength and domineering aura had been completely exhausted, and he had used up all his strength just to stand up.

After all, Rayleigh's battle against Kaido was a losing battle from the beginning. From the first time Kaido confronted Roger, Rayleigh knew that Kaido had grown to a level far beyond himself and Jabba.

But when Roger was intercepted by the vice admiral of the navy and had to fight Kaido alone, Rayleigh remained fearless. If death was his destination today, if his death could help the entire pirate group escape death.

Then Rayleigh would naturally not be afraid of death.

From the moment he accepted Roger's invitation and the first time he set foot on the sea, Rayleigh was ready to die.

Over the past few decades, Rayleigh has seen the sea bury too many warriors, and he has even gone from being shocked the first time to being a little numb now.

"Want to join me in turning this world upside down?"

This was the agreement between Roger and Rayleigh in the past. The Roger Pirates started out as just two people and one ship, and have now become the top pirate group in the New World.

Every move of the Roger Pirates can threaten the stability of the entire ocean.

They did it, they kept their promise, and if they wanted to, they could really turn the world upside down.

Rayleigh also firmly believed that Roger would be able to realize his ideal in the future, truly stir up the entire ocean, and become a new trendsetters of the era.

At this time, the blood had blurred Rayleigh's eyes, his arms holding the knife became heavier and heavier, and his body was like a completely dried-up pond, no longer able to squeeze out a trace of strength or dominance.

In his blurry vision, Rayleigh saw the horned giant opposite him showing a hideous grin, saw the domineering color raging around the mace, and saw the mace constantly enlarging in his pupils.

In an instant, Rayleigh felt that everything around him became very slow. The rapidly swinging mace almost stopped, and the dust in the surrounding air was clearly visible.

Even the pain of a broken arm and the churning of internal organs seemed less unbearable.

"Roger, I'm sorry, I have to break my promise. I can't bear to see the world turned upside down anymore."

"Roger, Captain, remember to take your medicine every morning and evening. Listen to Kurokas, drink less, and take good care of your body."

"Jabba, please help Roger. I still need your help on this final journey."

"Kurokas, please take good care of the captain."

"Little Shanks, little Buggy, I really want to see what you will look like when you grow up."

"Roger, I'm leaving now. Take care!"

In the very end, Rayleigh tried hard to turn his head, using his last bit of strength to focus his gaze on Roger, wanting to take one more look at the captain he had been with day and night, the greatest captain.

"Take care, don't cry..."

The next moment, the mace arrived with a tremendous domineering aura, completely crushing Rayleigh's body and everything around it.

……

"Rayleigh!"

"Rayleigh!"

As if by telepathy, the moment Rayleigh died, two screams resounded throughout the battlefield. Tears of blood welled up in the corners of Roger and Jabba's eyes, and waves of pain came over their hearts.

Perhaps it was the induction between companions, or perhaps the soul really existed after death, Rayleigh's instructions before his death slowly echoed in the ears of the two.

It was as if the second captain was still alive, the most reliable second captain, still whispering with a smile in his ear.

"Rayleigh is dead..."

This news exploded in Roger's ears like thunder. In an instant, Roger seemed to feel that everything around him became gray, and he and the whole world seemed to be covered by a thick layer of fog.

"Roger, hurry up and take the pirate group away!"

Suddenly, Jabba's roar pulled Roger back from his extreme emotions.

As Roger's eyes refocused, he saw that the extremely powerful Vice Admiral had rushed to Jabba and waved his fist.

"I'm sorry, Jabba, I can't save you..."

Roger clasped his hands together tightly, venting the pain in his heart and the extreme sadness in his emotions.

For a moment, it was as if his entire body had entered self-protection mode, and Roger suddenly felt that the world seemed so strange.

The pain in my internal organs disappeared, and even the sadness in my heart disappeared.

Calm, extraordinarily calm, that's what Roger felt at this moment.

"Jabba, it's too late to save him."

"Xuan Ming's attitude towards us is not to kill us all. Kaido's condition is already on the verge of extinction. The next battle is most likely between the navy and Kaido."

"But even so, we need to leave first. The only thing we can do now is to take away the Roger Pirates and prevent the entire pirate group from being destroyed again."

Roger muttered, his expressionless face looked particularly terrifying, and it seemed that he didn't even care about the blood that kept flowing out of the corners of his mouth.

After completing the analysis, Roger and a few others instantly arrived at the hiding place of Roger's pirate group thousands of meters away, and then he left with the fish-man Sambel and a group of other members of Roger's pirate group.

Seeing the blood and tears in the corners of their captain's eyes, as well as the inexplicable expression, even though there were still countless questions in their minds, no one dared to ask at this time. They had never seen the captain like this before.
