Pirates: The White Group's eldest son

""Clang" sparks flew, and the long swords in Rayleigh and Noah's hands separated at the touch, and each stood still.

Rayleigh held the sword with one hand, with the blade raised horizontally, but did not rush forward. He only knew that the young man opposite him was gifted and could be on equal footing with Jabba in just a few years. But it was not until today, after the two sides really fought, that Rayleigh deeply understood what it meant to be a genius.

At the beginning of the fight, Rayleigh could still clearly feel that Noah's swordsmanship school was inherited from Kozuki Oden. Although Noah was rigid, dogmatic and dull, Rayleigh could still easily deal with it based on his experience of fighting Kozuki Oden in previous years. He dealt with the child in front of him with a playful mentality; he even had time to give him some verbal guidance.

But after just half a day, the child's swordsmanship actually seemed to be integrated and had a unique style; even in the last collision, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hurt by the child's sword.

""Ah, little Noah, you are such a monster." Rayleigh looked at his torn left sleeve, pushed up his glasses and said to Noah.

"——"Hoo-hoo, Uncle Rayleigh, I am the return of the Iai-ryu Swallow, please teach me."

Noah leaned on the ground with his sword, finally took a breath, and said to Rayleigh in a serious tone.

"That's amazing, little Noah!"

Rayleigh laughed,"If I remember correctly, you should be only in your teens, right?"

"Yes, she will be thirteen in a few months. Uncle Rayleigh, do you have a daughter to introduce to me?"

Noah was still unforgiving and looked at the sword in his hand. In the half-day battle with Rayleigh, this fine steel sword that he bought on the island for five hundred berries was already full of cracks and was at risk of breaking at any time. Even though Noah used the Armament Haki to cover the sword, it was obvious that Rayleigh's Armament Haki was more skilled, more advanced and more powerful.

He picked up another long sword from the ground, and the black Armament Haki slowly spread over it. Seeing Rayleigh draw out the second sword, Noah couldn't help laughing

"Uncle Rayleigh, are you finally getting serious?"

"Ah, if you don't take it seriously when dealing with a guy like you, you'll suffer a great loss."

Rayleigh raised his two swords and pointed them at Noah, his eyes gradually becoming fierce.

"Noah, from now on, you have to be prepared to die."

"Double Blade Style - Great Wind Carving!"

Rayleigh slashed with his double blades, and two sharp wind blades quickly rolled towards Noah. Under the flying wind blades, the grass on the ground was cut into pieces; and as the wind blades slashed out, Rayleigh himself also rushed out, pointing the double swords in his hands at Noah's chest, and suddenly slashed

"Damn it!"

Noah was startled, and while the long sword in his hand slashed out to offset the wind blade, he hurried his feet and retreated violently. Rayleigh's two wind blades were just a cover, the real killer move was the double swords covered with armed colors in Rayleigh's hands.

""When two meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Let's fight!"

Noah gritted his teeth, stepped on the wrong foot, and advanced instead of retreating. Relying on the entry-level observation Haki, Noah barely avoided his own vital points, and the armament Haki on his arms quickly spread, intending to resist Rayleigh's double swords.

At the same time, Noah held the long sword in his hand in reverse, and suddenly stabbed it out from his armpit, with the blade pointing directly at Rayleigh's throat, resolutely exchanging injury for life, and using an arm to exchange for Rayleigh's life.

""Good boy!" Rayleigh was not surprised but delighted. He pulled back his left hand knife to fight against Noah's long sword, and then stabbed at Noah's left shoulder with his right hand knife.

"Hehe, you've been fooled, Uncle Rayleigh!"Noah laughed, his eyes full of cunningness. When his right sword was fighting Rayleigh, Noah thrust out with his left hand and hit Rayleigh's right wrist with one finger.

"Double sword style - finger sword!"

Rayleigh's right sword fell to the ground

"Don't be so arrogant, kid!"

Rayleigh's right hand knife was taken away even though he had planned it. However, Rayleigh is Roger's right arm and has rich experience in fighting enemies. In this situation, Rayleigh still has a way to turn the tables.

""Crack, crack." Rayleigh pressed down with his left hand. Noah felt a strong force coming from the sword, which almost made him want to let go. Rayleigh took advantage of this force and suddenly flew into the air. His right leg drew an arc and chopped down with an axe, kicking Noah away.

"Should I say he is worthy of being called a great pirate?"

After landing, Noah finally stood up, blood trickling down his forehead. Rayleigh did exactly as he said, not holding back at all. He dodged Rayleigh's attack and injured one of Rayleigh's hands with a trick, but Rayleigh's kick didn't give him any advantage at all.

"What a little monster! Roger will laugh to death now." Rayleigh rubbed his right hand and walked over to sit next to Noah."The wine from the East China Sea is brewed with water from our captain's family. He was very angry when I snatched it from him."

Rayleigh laughed, raised the wine jug and took a few sips, then handed it to Noah.

Noah looked at Rayleigh,"Why, don't you want to fight with me?"

Rayleigh smiled and gestured to the distance,"The battle is not a matter of one day or one night. The two captains have stopped. We, the crew members, naturally have to follow the captain's pace."

Following the direction Rayleigh indicated, Noah saw that Whitebeard and Roger had stopped, sitting on the ground drinking, and the crew members in groups of three or two around them had already cleaned up the battlefield. The place where he and Rayleigh were was actually the last battlefield where the battle was still going on.

"Tsk, two old drunkards."

Noah retracted his gaze, curled his lips, snatched Rayleigh's wine bottle, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey, hey - well... forget it, since you drank this wine, it's not considered a waste." Rayleigh lay on the ground, his mouth raised, looking at Noah's still young figure, his eyes full of admiration.

"Hey, Rayleigh."

Noah asked without turning his head, looking at the sunset in the distance.

"Why do all of you great swordsmen use dual swords?"

"Ha, I can't answer your question."

Rayleigh looked at the vast sky, and was stunned by Noah's question for a moment.

Noah saw that Rayleigh didn't say anything and didn't care. He said to himself,"You, Uncle Kozuki, even the Golden Lion who is as famous as Dad and Roger, including Jabba the man with sunglasses, all of you are dual-blade. Even Vista is a dual-blade. Uncle Rayleigh, do you know why?"

Rayleigh pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled. He sat up and patted Noah's shoulder, and said in a deep voice

"Boy, you think too much. I can tell you that we have never thought about this problem from the beginning. At that time, everyone was a young man who had just started out on the sea. We had the dream of conquering the sea and could go out to sea with a sampan. For us back then, holding one more knife in our hands meant one more chance to kill the enemy. Those of us who held one more knife naturally had a better chance of survival than those who held only one knife."

Rayleigh stood up, walked a few steps towards the campfire, and suddenly turned around and said,"Boy, if you want to become a great swordsman with a single sword, then work hard to become stronger. Maybe in the future, people like you and the red-haired boy on our boat will become the overlords of the sea."
