Pirates of the Death

The old man was sitting on the ground, and the old man was sitting on the ground.

This is GR15, which is not far from GR13.

Rayleigh couldn't wait to leave Xia Qi's bar early in the morning and came here.

He ordered a few bottles of his favorite sherry and chatted with the boss here, who had a little friendship, about the trivial things that happened recently.

Then, because of the "itchy hands", he was half drunk and prepared to go to the casino to satisfy his hand addiction.

As a result, he heard someone talking about the "Nine Snake Island" as soon as he left the bar, and Xia Qi was involved in it.

This made him sober up instantly.

Only a few old-fashioned people knew that Xia Qi came from the Nine Snake Island.

He didn't understand how the two people in front of him knew it.

However, when the two turned around, he immediately recognized them.

"You not only know Xia Qi's origin, but also mine?"

Rayleigh's eyes narrowed.

He was a little suspicious of the identities of Luo Di and Oberton.

"Hey, Pluto Rayleigh, I came here to find you!"

Oberton's rough voice brought him back to his senses.

He restrained his expression slightly.

"Everyone on this island calls me Lao Lei, the coating craftsman. Don't call me by my name easily. I'm old and want to live a stable life."

Oberton's eyes gradually became sharp.

"I'm not here to tell you this."

"You may not recognize who I am now, but I will make you remember me, Rayleigh!"

As soon as the words fell, the person moved.

Rayleigh's pupils shrank sharply.

The two were only two or three steps away. At such a close distance, even he could not defend against the sudden attack.

But he still raised his right hand instinctively, and the armed color flowed rapidly, protecting his chest.

Bang——

A punch landed, the air surged, and Rayleigh's body was knocked back nearly ten meters by the strange force.

Several passers-by were almost hit by him on the way.

"Fuck, old man, what are you doing? It's dangerous to do this on the street, you know?"

"You old man, you don't even know how to look at the road. Today, I must teach you a lesson!"

"Well, I think it's better to forget it. This old man can't even walk steadily. If you punch him, I'm afraid he will die half of his life."

The ridicule and abuse around him were endless.

Rayleigh frowned, and his face, which was always smiling, was rarely gloomy at this moment.

Then he lowered his head, covered his chest with his right hand, and severe pain spread instantly.

"That move just now was... Armament Haki?"

But it was a bit special, not just Armament Haki!

Just now, he had applied a layer of Armament Haki on his chest almost at the moment when Oberton launched the attack, but he was still a step slower.

In fact, according to calculations, he could just defend it.

But somehow, Oberton's punch was actually thrown from a distance.

This can be done when the Armament Haki is cultivated to a higher level.

But it cannot reach such a long distance.

Moreover, he can be sure that the attack of the 'Strange Monk' was almost instantaneous.

For example, even if the Armament Haki can hit two or three meters away, it still takes time to stack. The farther the distance, the longer it takes. Instantaneous firing is impossible!

"Rayleigh, you are old too!"

Oberton looked at Rayleigh, who was thinking something and had a solemn face, and moved his feet slightly, and his huge body pressed forward.

As a great pirate, he would not indulge his enemies.

"I just drank a little bit of wine, but I encountered such a thing. Oh, it's really a headache!"

Rayleigh shook his head helplessly, then stood up straight, opened his observation Haki, and added a layer of invisible armament armor to his hands.

In a flash, he suddenly turned his body, and slapped his right hand with his palm.

Bang——

The powerful airflow splashed around like an arrow.

The few "passers-by" who had insulted and mocked Rayleigh before were the first to be hit.

Accompanied by screams that sometimes rose and sometimes fell, various scratches appeared on their bodies, and blood flowed out from the wounds.

"Huh? It actually blocked it?"

Oberton's body stagnated, and his heels stepped hard, embedding into the stone floor under his feet.

He really didn't expect Rayleigh to be able to see through his trajectory, and, in terms of strength, he was even stronger than him.

But he soon regained his composure.

"Rayleigh, do you know what others call me?"

Rayleigh, standing three meters away, was a little confused.

Before?

Are there other titles besides 'Strange Monk'?

And Oberton also gave the answer.

"Ghost hand!"

As soon as the words fell.

Oberton clapped his hands continuously, turning into an invisible afterimage.

And the 'repulsive force' attached to his hands continued to advance and retract with the forward and backward movement of his palms.

With each clapping, the repulsive force continued to increase, and the force applied became stronger and stronger.

"Ghost hand?"

Something seemed to have flashed through Rayleigh's mind, but it was only a vague flash.

The current situation did not allow him to think too much.

As time went on, he would become more and more exhausted.

Immediately, he gathered almost all the armed color domineering in his body into his hands, and the power surged and penetrated his palms.

This blow actually directly tore a big hole in the high-frequency repulsive force.

The pressure on his hands suddenly decreased, Rayleigh took a step, quickly stepped forward, and came in front of Oberton under his surprised eyes.

"With this strange ability, it seems that you are a Devil Fruit user."

"Although I don't know why you are targeting me, since you have made a move, you must bear the consequences of failure!"

Rayleigh's alcohol smell disappeared, and the king's domineering aura that belongs only to the 'King's Deputy' was fully revealed.

Although he is easy-going and used to being peaceful, it does not mean that he will still be like this when a knife is on his neck.

He is a coating craftsman, and also the legendary pirate 'Pluto'!

A palm slapped out, like thunder roaring, and the strong air pressure rushed straight to Oberton's face.

Oberton naturally would not sit and wait for death. He raised his right hand at a faster speed and almost met it at the moment when Rayleigh's palm fell.

But the force... was extremely heavy, obviously not something he could easily resist now.

Under the double pressure of the extreme armed color domineering, Oberton's face flushed, and the blood in his body surged.

He swallowed the blood gushing out of his throat, but saw that his left hand had hit Rayleigh's abdomen without knowing when.

"This speed... Ghost Hand... You are..."

Rayleigh felt the pain, and the gate of memory suddenly opened, and countless fragmented memory fragments poured into his mind in an instant.

He remembered.

There was once a legendary pirate nicknamed "Ghost Hand" who fought with him.

However, he disappeared after being defeated by Roger.

Then, Rayleigh endured the pain in his abdomen and increased the strength of his broad palm again.

Puff——

Oberton finally reached his limit this time, with a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. His body continued to move backwards with the force until he retreated nearly ten meters away and then slowly stopped.

And the road paved with bluestone slabs left a parallel trace, surrounded by gravel, and the soil below was surging.

"Are you the descendant of Ghost Hand Oberton?"
