One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 47 resolution 100%! The new power of Hades!

Marco, watching from afar, felt his heart nearly leap out of his throat!

He watched helplessly as Rayleigh put away all his jokes and probing, and in those turbid eyes, the blazing flames of dominance belonging to "Hades" were rekindled!

That wasn't murderous intent.

That's a higher level of seriousness, treating the opponent as an equal... the ultimate seriousness!

"An interesting little devil..."

Rayleigh's deep voice rang out, each word seemingly carrying a metallic quality.

"You have successfully piqued my interest."

"As a return gift, I'll show you our true fighting spirit when we were conquering the seas!"

The moment the words fell!

boom--!!!

A Conqueror's Haki more than ten times stronger than before was no longer an invisible pressure, but transformed into visible black and red lightning, raging wildly around Rayleigh and soaring into the sky!

The entire Yarqiman mangrove forest trembled violently under this aura, and countless weak creatures instantly rolled their eyes back and fainted!

High in the treetop, Xia Qi's expression became more serious than ever before. She gripped the cigarette tightly in her hand, the butt of the cigarette being squeezed and slightly deformed.

He hadn't expected Rayleigh to be this serious!

This is the true power of the Pirate King's right arm, the one that has given the entire Marine Headquarters a headache!

Rayleigh slowly raised the longsword in his hand, and the violent black and red lightning seemed to have found an outlet, frantically gathering and coiling towards the blade!

"Conqueror's Haki Enveloping!"

Marco gasped in shock, his face drained of all color!

This is the true fighting style of the legendary great pirates! They materialize their Conqueror's Haki, which reigns supreme, and wrap it around their attacks like Armament Haki. Each strike carries the will of a king, and its power increases exponentially!

"Kid, watch closely!"

Rayleigh's figure disappeared from the spot once again.

But this time, the future vision that Chenye foresaw with his Observation Haki was no longer just a simple sword light!

Instead, it was a bolt of black and red lightning that tore through the heavens and earth!

fast!

Extremely fast!

It's so fast that even my thoughts can barely keep up!

Chen Ye's pupils contracted sharply as he pushed the simple Tremor-Tremor Fruit power he had acquired to its limit. A vibrating white aura enveloped his fists, which he crossed in front of his chest to block!

clang!!!!

A deafening roar that seemed to tear eardrums apart!

The black and red blades clashed violently with the white, vibrating aura!

In just a moment of stalemate, Chen Ye felt an overwhelming and terrifying force surge into his arms through the vibrating defensive layer!

It was not just a combination of power and sharpness, but also an unyielding will to completely crush everything in front of him!

Click!

The bones in his arm groaned in agony, unable to bear the strain any longer!

He was struck head-on by a battering ram, his feet left the ground, and he flew backward like a cannonball!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of deafening explosions!

Chen Ye's body transformed into a humanoid plow, smashing through three giant mangrove roots with diameters exceeding ten meters in succession. Undeterred, it finally crashed deep into the roots of a fourth mangrove, stirring up clouds of dust!

The entire battlefield instantly fell into a deathly silence.

"Tatsuba!!"

Marco let out a fierce roar, no longer caring about anything else. Azure flames instantly ignited as he rushed over to save the person!

Rayleigh slowly sheathed his sword, stood still, and frowned slightly.

He could sense that his final strike had contained less killing intent, but the domineering will it contained was enough to break the spirit of anyone with a weak will.

This young man, I'm afraid...

However, just when everyone thought the battle was over.

Amidst the chaotic ruins, a figure covered in blood and dust swayed and slowly rose to its feet.

Chen Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his arms twisted at an odd angle, clearly broken.

But instead of pain and fear, his raised face blossomed with a... radiant, triumphant smile!

Become!

As expected, although he possessed half of the power of the peak-level Whitebeard, his strength was sufficient. However, was his physical constitution still insufficient to directly confront such a legendary top-tier fighter?

We still need to strengthen the system. Simply having power is not enough; we also need a physical body like Kaido's!

But that's enough!

Because, at the very moment he was knocked away, the heavenly sound he had been longing for rang in his mind!

[Ding! Host detected to have been subjected to an extremely high-intensity legendary energy impact!]

[SSR·Peak Rayleigh Illustration Analysis…95%…98%…100%!]

[Analysis complete!]

[Congratulations, host! The ultimate ace, [Peak Rayleigh], has been fully unlocked and charged! Time travel is now possible!]

boom!

A warm current appeared out of nowhere in Chen Ye's limbs and bones!

That's not just a simple treatment, but a leap to a higher level of life!

[Ding! Unlocked the complete Legendary character profile and obtained a special reward: Hades' Power (Fragment)!]

[Effect: The host's swordsmanship talent and domineering aura talent levels receive a permanent and massive boost!]

In an instant, Chen Ye felt that his strength had changed.

His understanding of swordsmanship and the application of Conqueror's Haki flooded his mind like a burst dam, and were quickly absorbed by his body, becoming instinct!

The foundation, which had been somewhat unstable due to the forced activation of power, was now completely solidified, and it even felt like it had taken another step forward!

He could feel himself getting stronger!

It is true, genuine, and personal strength!

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Chen Ye ignored his terrible injuries and walked out of the ruins step by step.

He approached Rayleigh, solemnly sheathed all his fighting spirit, and bowed deeply to the legend before him.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Reilly."

"I benefited greatly!"

His voice was hoarse, but filled with heartfelt gratitude and respect.

Rayleigh stared at him silently, his surprise and bewilderment even surpassing that of the previous battle.

Is this kid... a monster?

He took a direct hit from a sword strike imbued with Conqueror's Haki, yet he was still able to stand up, and... his aura even seemed slightly stronger than before?

He slowly sheathed his sword, and the terrifying aura of dominance vanished, transforming him back into the somewhat lazy coating craftsman.

"You little brat..."

Rayleigh looked Chen Ye up and down, as if trying to see right through him.

"I can confirm that I did not misperceive just now."

"You possess the power of Newgate. That ability to shatter space is unique."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of confusion that even he himself couldn't understand.

"Who exactly are you? And why do you possess the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"

"A monster like you can't possibly remain unknown on this vast ocean."

Rayleigh stared at Chen Ye, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Speak! What is it that you've gone to such lengths, even risking your life to fight me?"
