General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 693 Death of Rayleigh
"Evacuate! Everyone evacuate immediately! Leave the town for shelter and don't get close to where they are fighting!"

Marigrud and Sandasonia looked at the place where Rayleigh and Garp passed with horrified expressions. Under the overwhelming storm of color, both the residents of Nine Snakes Island and the experienced Nine Snakes The pirates and the soldiers all fell down like wheat.

Even if they were hundreds of meters away from the two fighting men, they felt dizzy, their legs were weak, and they couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a thud.

The two looked at the shattered houses and ground around them in horror.

The buildings on Nine Snake Island seemed to have just experienced a Category 12 hurricane and were destroyed in a mess.

What a terrifying overlord color and domineering spirit!
Even Hancock, who was also the possessor of Overlord-colored Haki, looked as immature as a child in front of these two people.

These are the two legends that have been famous all over the world for decades, Pluto Rayleigh and Iron Fist Garp!

"Boom!"

There was another huge roar, like the earth was shattering, exploding throughout the Nine Snakes Island.

In the eyes of the Nine Snakes Pirates, two figures wrapped in countless black and red lightnings rose up from the broken town, like two flying black and red meteors, and crashed into the sky with a bang. Visit the iconic Nine Snakes Mountain on the Nine Snakes Island.

Rayleigh's eyes were calm, and he took the stance of Iai Slash. He held the handle of Lei Yu's sword with his right hand and slashed at Garp who was rushing towards him in an instant.

Rayleigh once again struck out with his previous slashes that were like moonlight falling all over the sky, cutting arc-shaped blades of light in mid-air, like a violent storm, and the overwhelming slashes followed him towards the back mountain of Nine Snakes Island. Falling Garp.

From the time the two of them fought until now, within just a few minutes, the fight had already reached such a brutal level.

"Keng!"

Their bodies flew out almost at the same time, and each flew dozens or hundreds of meters before falling heavily to the ground.

"Fist bone! Meteorite!"

"Boom boom boom boom!"

This sword is as fast as the wind and as fast as thunder.

"One-sword style! Iai! Instant slash!"

Garp walked out of the cracks in the broken mountain, with no expression on his face at all, as if the injured person was not him at all, but someone else. He stepped on the shaver at a speed far exceeding ordinary speed, and flashed a few times, just like teleporting. He rushed in front of Rayleigh and punched him down.

"Boom! Kakaka!"

His fighting style is actually different from those swordsmen who can only use swords.

As soon as he stepped forward, the ground was shattered by a punch from Garp who was swooping down. The ground rolled and bulged in all directions like waves.

The top-notch armed color Haki in the sea and the ultimate weapon-color application skills caused the Haki blasted from Rayleigh's feet to pour into Garp's belly, causing his internal organs to bleed, and blood spilled out from the corners of his mouth.

The strong tendons on his body beat, like a bow string that was tightened and then loosened, making a horrifying dull explosion, causing the burly body to erupt with an overwhelming amount of terrifying power, knocking the slashes from Rayleigh into the air. Blast.

Because Garp's free left fist hit Rayleigh's right waist and abdomen almost at the same time as he kicked out his right foot.

Amidst the shaking and explosions of the earth, a huge narrow crack stretched straight upward on the huge Nine Snakes Mountain, directly dividing the entire mountain into two, and a deep crack appeared on the ground below. The bottomless abyss.

"Pfft!"

In the midst of the billowing smoke and dust, Garp had already torn apart the smoke screen, and a domineering fist enlarged in Rayleigh's eyes.

The move was successful, but there was no trace of joy on Rayleigh's face.

From the beginning of the battle, Garp and Rayleigh didn't say a word. They just continued to explode their strongest power, constantly increased the speed of their attacks, and greeted each other.

Rayleigh's right foot kicked Garp in the abdomen, leaving a clear dent in the domineering armor covering Garp's body.

A dazzling bolt of lightning flashed in front of him.

"Ba Tang! Yue Xi!"

Garp's whole body was shrouded in pitch-black armor. Facing the endless sword light that struck his head and face, his fists instantly turned into countless phantoms and shot out.

Rayleigh's body landed first, his feet immediately touched the ground, and his body shot back dozens of meters.

There was an explosion, and Rayleigh opened his mouth and spat out a large ball of blood. His body was arched to the left by Garp's punch, and a white air wave spread out, blowing away dust and gravel all over the ground. It shot out like an arrow from a string, smashing and breaking the towering trees.

Blood, like a waterfall, spurted out from the one-meter-long wound on Garp's body, instantly staining his burly body completely with blood.

Amidst the huge roar, a huge snake head stretching hundreds of meters was shattered by the impact of the two figures, turning into gravel and roaring all over the sky, falling down like a torrential rain.

It's just that the swordsman focuses on superb sword skills and sharp cuts, while Garp's fists are more focused on powerful and heavy explosions.

Garp's style of play seemed to have completely given up on defense, without any regard for the injuries he might suffer. He was like a cold fighting machine, fighting bloody battles with Rayleigh.

"Fist bone! Meteor swarm!"

The dazzling firelight burst out as it rubbed Garp's fist. Rayleigh held the long knife in his hand and blocked Garp's right fist. Then, with his bare right foot, he kicked Garp in the abdomen.

The extremely compressed air exploded, erupting into a turbulent air wave, pushing his body forward, blasting through everything in front of him like a meteorite, and crashed into Rayleigh.

Two or three of the ribs in his waist and abdomen were broken with a click by Garp's punch. The internal organs in his body were also blasted by Garp's armament and domineering force that was not inferior to or even stronger than Garp's. The shock bleeds.

A large amount of blood seeped out from the pores on their bodies.

In fact, when Haki is as powerful as him and Garp, there is not much difference in the damage caused whether or not he uses weapons.

His slashes continuously burst out from the thunderstorm sword in his hand, like the tide triggered by the moon, never-ending and continuous.

Garp rushed towards him like a savage beast. His armor, which was as thick as a steel city wall, was chopped into pieces. A cut mark with bone-deep cuts appeared on his chest. His burly body seemed to have been hit by an iron rod. The baseball hit by the swing flew back through the air and hit the towering Nine Snake Mountain wall firmly.

Slashes shot across the sky, tearing apart the atmosphere and slicing through the body of Nine Snake Mountains. Huge cracks appeared in the body of this mountain several hundred meters high in an instant.

When Garp stepped on his foot, a clear depression appeared in the air, which was layer upon layer of compressed air.

Countless complex emotions that no one could fully understand were rolling wildly in his chest.

The guilt of not being able to fulfill Roger's entrustment of Esto to him.

Watching Ace die but being unable to do anything, the powerlessness and pain of being unable to do anything.

As a sailor, a veteran, and a naval hero, I should have taken the lead in this war, leading the navy soldiers to charge into the battle and move forward indomitably, just like they did in the past few decades. However, because of the pain and struggle in my heart, I insisted on The long period of hesitation and confusion on the battlefield indirectly caused the navy to suffer another unbearable huge casualty in this war since the G1 sea battle.

The sadness over Ace's death and the deep guilt for failing to fulfill his duty as a veteran were like countless sharp knives, constantly piercing into the depths of Garp's heart.

During the more than ten days on Marinevando Island, he seemed to hear the souls of countless dead sailors giving him painful, sad, and silent rebuke.

No.

Not as if.

I really heard it.

In the temporary hospital in Marineland, the sailors who were seriously injured and mutilated due to the battle, who were suffering from both mental and physical torture, expressed their anger at the indecisiveness shown by this naval hero on the battlefield. question.

The soaring resentment made Garp's soul feel like he was in a scorching hell.

This put him in endless mental torture every day he stayed on Malinfando Island.

"Boom!"

Under Garp's trampling, the earth was as fragile as paper.

Bundles of black and red, pitch-black domineering lightning seemed to have no end, continuously emerging from his burly body, wrapping around his fists, punching one after another, like a pile driver. Boom to Rayleigh.

"Keng!"

"Keng!"

"Keng!"

The explosion of cloud-piercing rocks was like a violent storm, exploding on Nine Snakes Island without stopping for a moment. Garp's fists were like two black and red phantoms, constantly colliding with the demon sword Thunderstorm in Rayleigh's hand.

Blood and pieces of flesh, like the bark that fell from the tree trunk after being scratched, kept flying above the blade of Rayleigh's chop.

The blood dyed Garp's burly body red, but his fists became heavier and heavier, and his fist speed became faster and faster.

"laugh……"

Large swaths of white steam spurted out from the pores all over his body, making him look like a steam engine running at high speed, spewing out hot steam like crazy.

The hot steam rose up with the blood coming out of his body, covering his whole body in a blood-colored mist.

The extremely tragic momentum put Rayleigh under increasing pressure.

Finally, after swiping his knife to block Garp's punch for the unknown hundreds of times, the muscles in Rayleigh's arms finally suffered a few muscle tears due to the high-intensity exercise.

The seemingly insignificant muscle strain turned into the most fatal weakness in the ultra-intense fight between the two at this moment.

Rayleigh, who had experienced many battles, was obviously aware of this, so without any hesitation, he swung a knife at Garp who was bombarding him like a madman, hoping to temporarily stop Garp's fierce offensive. So that I can make some adjustments.

"God avoids!"

The high-speed slashes entwined with overlord-colored lightning struck down in the air. Even if Garp was so powerful at this moment, he would definitely suffer horrific injuries if he did not defend or dodge.

Rayleigh was betting that Garp would dodge a little, because in this non-stop fighting, Garp's crazy offensive without defense had already caused too many wounds on his body and shed too much blood.

If Garp doesn't dodge and is allowed to hit him with this knife, the accumulated injuries will definitely cause him to lose too much blood, which will lead to a decrease in strength.

At the worst, Garp would have to gather all his armed domineering energy and compress it into armor to block his attack.

Otherwise, in this fight, the one who dies will definitely be Garp who has lost his cool.

However, not only did Garp not dodge, he didn't even move to gather his armed domineering armor to block his sword.

Before Garp's attack even came, Rayleigh's ability to predict the future had already predicted Garp's next attack.

As if he saw something, Rayleigh suddenly shook his head.

"As expected of you, you are truly a fighting madman."

Before he finished speaking, there was a tearing sound of flesh being cut open in his ears.

The blood-colored demon knife entwined with overlord-colored lightning broke through Garp's open hand straight through, and cut through the gap between his spread middle finger and ring finger. Amidst the large amounts of blood flying, Garp The palm of his left hand was split open by Rayleigh's knife.

With the clang of the long knife, the knife clenched in Rayleigh's hand cut off Garp's hand and got stuck in front of his wrist bone.

Because he had foreseen this scene, Rayleigh quickly drew the knife without interruption, trying to withdraw the stuck blood-colored long knife, but Garp's bloody left hand suddenly closed, like a huge pliers, pulling the jammed long knife back. The blade locked tightly on his wrist bone.

And his right fist, which had been preparing for a long time, was handed towards Rayleigh's at the same time.

Rayleigh was no ordinary person. While drawing the knife with his right hand, his left hand was also open, wrapped in thick armed domineering force, and grabbed Garp's right fist.

But how could his left hand block Karp's right fist?
Amidst the dull explosion-like sound, there was a crisp sound, and the left hand that Rayleigh grabbed was hit by Garp's right fist. The wrist showed a terrifying twist, and the entire palm and the muscles and bones in the wrist were all beaten. Shattered.

After Garp punched him, his huge fist turned into a claw like lightning, and grabbed Rayleigh's twisted left hand. Under Rayleigh's shocked eyes, he threw his body up, like smashing dough. , and hit the ground beneath him hard!
"Fist bone! Falling from the bottom of the sea!"

At some point, the ground beneath the two of them had already been covered by a thick black domineering energy.

The ground under the domineering weapons was like a thick iron wall.

When Rayleigh was grabbed by Garp's left arm and smashed against the dark iron wall, the entire Nine Snakes Island shook.

The Imperial Palace of the Daughter Kingdom, which had existed for hundreds of years, collapsed in large areas amidst the exclamations of Marigrudd and others.

The towering Nine Snake Mountain behind was no longer able to bear the weight. It collapsed with a rumble and countless huge rocks rolled down.

And when Rayleigh's body hit the ground, there was a crackling sound.

He opened his mouth and coughed out a large amount of blood, and a muffled groan came from his throat.

The blow was so heavy that all of Rayleigh's bones and muscles almost fell apart.

But it's not over yet.

As if he had predicted something again, Rayleigh, whose mouth was full of blood, let go of the blood-colored demonic sword that was still tightly grasped by Garp. He pointed his right hands together like swords and exuded a tragic aura towards him, like a wild beast. Garp's throat was stabbed with a finger by the tiger.

At this moment, there was no knife in Rayleigh's hand, but his two index fingers and middle fingers that were brought together, entangled with the top-level domineering and armed domineering energy, erupted with a thrust that was enough to penetrate a diamond.

As for Garp, as he pounced at high speed, he raised his right fist dragging bunches of black lightning high, as if he was swinging a heavy hammer, and punched it in front of Rayleigh's eyes. The air exploded layer by layer, and a terrifying shock wave erupted, hitting Rayleigh's body.

"Fist bone! Galaxy impact!"

"Boom!"

Huge roars and vibrations once again spread throughout the Nine Snakes Island.

At this moment, bottomless thick cracks radiated from the ground beneath Leili towards the entire island, spreading and cracking.

The surface of the windless zone outside Nine Snakes Island was ruffled by invisible shock waves. Waves tens of meters high were set off in an instant, and waves surged toward the distance.

The shock wave, like a Category 18 hurricane, shattered the pieces of the Nine Snake Mountains that had just fallen into the air and had not yet completely touched the ground. They turned into a huge sandstorm and swept towards Hancock and others.

Houses one after another were uprooted by this huge impact and turned into broken wood chips swept into the sky, scattering to the windless sea outside the island.

As the famous Nine Snakes Pirates in this world, they are as helpless as ants in the face of this huge disaster that seems to destroy the entire Nine Snakes Island. They can only watch the entire town being destroyed to pieces.

The dog-headed warship parked on the sea outside Nine Snakes Island was facing the huge impact storm that broke out at this time, and sailed towards the back mountain of Nine Snakes Mountain.

Hancock, who had been holding Granny New for a long time, also had a face as cold as frost. He stepped lightly and hurried towards that direction amidst the shaking of the sky and the earth.

The mountain behind Nine Snake Mountain.

When Bogart, who followed Garp, and Hancock, who was furious, rushed to the center of the huge earthquake, they saw a huge sinkhole that looked like it had been hit by a meteorite.

At the bottom of this huge sinkhole with a diameter of several hundred meters, two old men were entangled in a battle.

Garp's fist penetrated Rayleigh's chest, penetrated through his heart, and penetrated through the back, blasting Rayleigh's heart to pieces and pinning him to the ground.

Rayleigh, whose entire body sank into the ground, also raised his right hand, and stabbed Garp's throat with two fingers together and half of his palm.

Blood, like waterfalls and fountains, spurted out from Garp's throat and Rayleigh's heart, instantly dyeing the ground beneath them black and red.

"Cough cough..."

Rayleigh is not dead yet.

He coughed twice, coughing out the internal organ fragments and blood clogged in his mouth. There was no fear of death on his old face, but instead he smiled at Garp.

He whispered in an old and hoarse voice: "Garp... ahem... I told you a long time ago... ahem... being a hero is very tiring. Back then, you should have accepted Roger's invitation to become a hero. Pirates. It’s great to be a pirate, you can be carefree and carefree, you can enjoy fighting at will, and you can protect your family without any restraints.”

Garp was silent like a sculpture for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice: "That's Roger's wishful thinking. I am a sailor, how can I become a pirate."

"Yes, you are a sailor. If you really agreed to Roger, it wouldn't be you..."

Blood continued to pour out of Rayleigh's mouth. His voice gradually became weaker, his eyes looked at the sky absently, and he whispered softly: "No matter what, thank you, Garp, thank you... for raising Ace." …”

His voice gradually became fainter until it disappeared completely, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

"Rayleigh..."

Hancock, who rushed over to check the situation, was stunned when he saw Rayleigh's breath completely dissipated.

Lei Li, he died.
