"Dark King Rayleigh!?"
If there was someone whose name alone was enough to scare a current Navy Admiral, then "Dark King" would be one of them.
As the former vice-captain of the Pirate King, Silvers Rayleigh was already famous when Kizaru was just a young generation.
12 years ago, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger conquered the Grand Line. As his right-hand man, Rayleigh also had the strength to overwhelm the world at that time.
And 10 years ago, the Pirate King Roger was publicly executed. Since then, the Roger Pirates disbanded, and Rayleigh, as the vice-captain, also disappeared completely.
It could be said that Dark King Rayleigh was already a legendary figure.
However, Kizaru saw Rayleigh beside Vladimir at this moment, which couldn't help but be shocking.
On the other side, the Evil Shark Pirates' captain was dumbfounded.
He was just slandering Vladimir with the idea of dragging someone down with him, but as a result, the other party actually admitted it!
"Y-you're really a member of Phantom?" His voice trembled, feeling that his death was approaching.
"A member?" Vladimir glanced at this person and said coldly, "Not really. It's you who impersonated Phantom's name and attracted the Navy Admiral. I'll settle this account with you properly."
Hearing this, the Evil Shark Captain felt a chill all over his body, filled with grief and anger. He actually impersonated a Phantom member in front of the real deal. If it were him, he would have slapped the person to death long ago. What's more, he had just shifted the conflict to Kizaru, offending him even more.
However, at this moment, no one present had any thoughts about him.
Seeing Rayleigh's presence, Kizaru immediately became wary, his face solemn.
"Dark King Rayleigh, are you going to protect this kid? He's a member of Phantom. You should know that Phantom's Shadow Fiend killed a Celestial Dragon. Or, do you also have a relationship with Phantom? Are you a remnant of Roger?"
Hearing these words, Rayleigh smiled and said, "Don't test me. I have no relationship with Phantom. I just owe him a favor..."
"Oh, do you think I'll believe that? Just right, I'll catch you two together!"
As soon as the voice fell, Kizaru's body emitted a burst of golden light, and with a poof, scattered into countless light spots.
These light spots moved at the speed of light, and ordinary people couldn't even see them clearly.
But Vladimir could. He could feel it and see it clearly.
Kizaru turned into a photon fluid, and in an instant, approached his side. At the same time, the photons condensed, and a right leg emitting dazzling golden light kicked towards his face.
"Phantom kid, have you ever been hit by a light-speed kick?"
Kizaru attacked from the east and struck from the west, seemingly attacking Rayleigh, but actually attacking Vladimir.
"Not really."
Vladimir stood still, unmoved, as if he didn't care about this attack at all.
Seeing that the light-speed kick was about to hit, Rayleigh's figure suddenly approached. He kicked back and intercepted Kizaru's light-speed kick.
Boom!!
The collision of the two attacks immediately produced a huge storm, as if they were in a typhoon. The bald man not far away was blown away dozens of meters in one breath.
"Ibaraki kid, you run. I'll hold him back." Rayleigh resisted Kizaru's light-speed kick, but still had the room to remind him.
"It's too late." Vladimir shrugged his shoulders, with strands of black flames protecting him, not being invaded by the air.
With a battle happening so close, he was still calm, "The Navy's main force has arrived. I don't plan to run either. I want to try the combat power of the Navy Admirals!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of footsteps came, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Marines had arrived nearby.
The person at the head was wearing a coat of justice, with a cold face. He glanced at the situation at the scene and had already guessed almost everything.
"Dark King Rayleigh?" Akainu snorted and said, "What's going on, Kizaru?"
"This kid is a member of Phantom. You catch him. I'll hold back Rayleigh." Kizaru reminded him, and then launched another attack, "After all, you're not the Dark King you were ten years ago. You're old."
He retracted his leg, put his hands together, and pulled them to both sides. Immediately, a golden light sword was held in his hands.
Seeing Kizaru slash with a sword, Rayleigh quickly dodged backward, while feeling a little helpless in his heart.
He was indeed old. If it was his peak state when he was young, just a newly promoted Navy Admiral wouldn't be able to restrain him...
"This is a headache. Ibaraki kid, I can only restrain one person. You figure out a way yourself."
Just then, Akainu smiled coldly, "Figure out a way? Ridiculous! Attack!"
With an order, hundreds of Marines raised the guns in their hands and aimed at Vladimir.
"Akainu, are you putting on a monkey show? If guns were useful, your Navy would have dominated the world long ago?"
Vladimir mocked and suddenly raised his right hand.
"Hell Hand!"
With a light shout, Vladimir changed his palm into a claw, and immediately, dark power filled the air, raging.
In the sky, it seemed that a special power was gathering.
Akainu's face changed slightly, and he shouted, "Everyone, scatter!"
"Too late."
Rumble!
Like a thunderclap on a rainy day, the dark power gathered above the Navy's heads suddenly turned into a huge pitch-black hand, grabbing down with one claw.
This claw surpassed imagination, as if it came from the depths of hell. Before it landed on their heads, the cold aura it emitted made people feel goosebumps.
"Wh-what the hell is this!"
"Run!"
"Help! Admiral Akainu!"
Many people shouted in horror.
However, facing this power for the first time, Akainu was stunned for a moment.
This moment made him miss the best opportunity.
The next moment, the pitch-black giant claw fell down.
Boom!!
The violent dark power exploded, and in an instant, all the Marines were swallowed up. In the center of the claw's descent, countless cracks appeared on the entire ground, and it was forcibly sunk by more than ten centimeters.
