Because almost all of his comrades were seriously injured, Luffy was almost in a desperate state now, trying his best to protect his comrades.
Rayleigh could see that Luffy had not mastered Haki at all, but in the death duel with Zhan Momomaru, who was able to use Haki, Luffy gradually understood the power used by Zhan Momomaru, and vaguely began to touch the power of Haki. !
"Did Shanks gamble on the choice of an arm?"
Rayleigh's eyes kept moving back and forth between Luffy and Zoro.
Zoro is fighting hard to resist Kizaru's fierce attack. Although his domineering and swordsmanship are growing little by little, there is no doubt that he is facing a crisis. If he makes a careless move, he may be killed by Kizaru on the spot.
On Luffy's side, Luffy was guarding his seriously injured companions by himself, and he was also fighting desperately. Usopp and others, who were seriously injured by Kizaru, became a burden. Luffy's situation was even worse than Zoro's. Even more dangerous.
On Zoro's side, people may die at any time, but on Luffy's side, people are dying gradually. The trend of death cannot be stopped, and Usopp and others cannot resist the pacifists at all.
"Looks like we need a little help here."
After Rayleigh's eyes moved back and forth, he pulled out a sword from his waist, looked in the direction of the battlefield, and swung the sword over with his eyes flickering.
laugh!
The slash of this sword is almost invisible and completely invisible to the naked eye.
The pacifist who was trying to kill Sanji completely had the bright golden light blooming in his palm freeze for an instant, and his whole body was split into two halves from the center in such an extremely abrupt manner!
boom!
The pacifist was split into pieces by Rayleigh's sword.
Sanji and others all showed shocked expressions, while Zhan Momomaru's pupils shrank violently.
"… who is it?!"
“…”
Luffy was almost bursting out of his domineering aura when he saw Sanji was in a life and death crisis. Seeing that the crisis on Sanji's side was suddenly lifted, he felt relieved.
The intact pacifist brought by Zhan Momomaru was killed, and the remaining pacifist who was beaten to pieces could barely fight with the seriously injured Franky and others. The situation changed in an instant Stabilized.
No longer worried about the condition of his companions, Luffy finally focused all his attention on Zhan Momomaru and started fighting fiercely with Zhan Momomaru.
the other side.
The moment Rayleigh took action, Zoro and Kizaru both sensed it at the same time.
Kizaru frowned, while Zoro's eyes changed slightly.
This kind of invisible and qualityless slash can split a pacifist in half with one move. It is definitely not something that ordinary beings can perform. This is the swordsmanship of the top swordsman level!
There is also a top swordsman here!
Kizaru thought of Pluto Rayleigh almost immediately.
Zoro also thought of the strange old man he met in the auction house. This feeling was the feeling that the old man gave him before. He was indeed a top swordsman!
"Really, I came here with a relaxed and happy mood..."
Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and the strength in his hand suddenly increased.
Since Hades Rayleigh is not far away and has supported Straw Hat Luffy, he naturally can't hold anything back here, otherwise the situation will be very troublesome.
He must kill Sauron quickly, and then deal with Hades Rayleigh!
Although Kizaru didn't have much reservation before, he didn't really attack with all his strength. He only used about nine points of his strength.
At this moment, when he realized that Rayleigh was nearby, Kizaru completely exploded and showed the true full strength of an admiral.
boom! boom!
Almost as soon as three or two swords fell, Sauron was knocked back continuously.
The aftermath of the explosion alone caused blood to flow from the corners of Zoro's mouth. He managed to resist it with his armed haki, but he still could not completely block it, and his injuries continued to worsen.
"That does not work… "
Zoro gritted his teeth, resisted Kizaru's attack, and wanted to fight back, but Kizaru's speed was too fast, completely suppressing him, and he couldn't find a chance to fight back!
With Kizaru's speed being faster than him and the power of his slashing being heavier than his, Zoro could only watch helplessly as Kizaru's attacks continued to hit him, and he could only resist in embarrassment.
Tick tock, tick tock,
Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Zoro felt that his lungs and internal organs were being impacted by the constant explosions, and now there was a burning feeling inside his entire body.
"No... This won't work... If this continues... I will die..."
Zoro gritted his teeth and swung his sword with all his strength, trying to create a little chance to break free, but Kizaru's sword was heavier and suppressed him with every blow.
The injuries inside his body became more and more serious, and a double image gradually appeared in front of Sauron's eyes.
Desperate situation of life and death!
Under the full force of the Admiral, Sauron fell into a desperate situation!
In this desperate situation, in the blurry double image in front of him, time seemed to have stagnated. Zoro seemed to vaguely see Kuina's figure and saw Kuina's disappointed eyes.
"...Ah, ahhh!!!"
The blurry picture was shattered inch by inch like a mirror amid Sauron's roar.
Almost at this moment, an aura that shocked all directions, as if it was about to surrender all life, exploded in all directions, causing the seriously injured Usopp and others to feel dizzy. After their bodies stiffened, they lost consciousness and fell to the ground. land.
Buzz!
Zoro held a sword in each hand, together with the word "Wado" in his mouth, seemed to be one at this moment. In that instant burst of momentum, the three swords slashed towards Kizaru.
The sword energy from the three swords blended together to form a huge emerald-green sword energy that was dozens of meters high, and slashed down in front of Kizaru's face.
Kizaru's expression changed.
It wasn't the power of Zoro's sword, but the momentum that Zoro unleashed at that moment.
"Overlord color..."
Not only Kizaru, but also Rayleigh's eyes flickered.
There is no mistake, that is the overlord's domineering energy. The same overlord's domineering energy awakened in the desperate situation of life and death!
boom!
The emerald green sword energy exploded into pieces.
Kizaru was slashed by Zoro's overlord-colored haki and the sword energy that broke through a small stage in an instant, and slid back several meters before completely wiping out the sword energy.
"Overlord color... I didn't expect that I also have it..."
Zoro was panting violently. The clothes on his upper body were broken, and there were bloodstains and wounds everywhere on his body. He glanced at the sword in his hand and murmured.
Of course he knew about the overlord's domineering energy. He had also met people who possessed the overlord's domineering energy. Moreover, Ron himself seemed to possess the overlord's domineering existence.
"You are so domineering and domineering... It seems that I really can't keep you."
Kizaru narrowed his eyes and stared at Zoro.
With his domineering aura and current strength, Zoro is indeed qualified to become the pillar of the Albarez Guild after Ron's death. If Zoro does not die here today, then Albarez may really rise again!
"Then you come and kill me."
Zoro was bathed in blood, holding the sword and looking at Kizaru coldly.
Kizaru did not hesitate, and rushed in front of Zoro in a flash, and once again fought fiercely with Zoro, the golden lightsaber flashed continuously in the field.
Although Zoro has awakened the Overlord's Haki, and his swordsmanship has also improved a small level, reaching the level of a top swordsman, and his overall strength has increased, but it is only comparable to Doflamingo.
Perhaps because of the swordsman's strength in attack and concentration, coupled with Zoro's talent and special characteristics, he is slightly stronger than Doflamingo, but there is still a huge gap between him and the admiral.
boom! boom! boom!
After a dozen moves, Zoro was once again at a disadvantage.
If he were in his prime, with his current strength, he would indeed be qualified to fight against Kizaru. If he could break through again in the battle, there would be a glimmer of hope to win.
But not anymore.
Although his strength has risen a bit, his injuries will not recover and he is still on the verge of serious injury. Moreover, he has awakened the Overlord's Haki and his swordsmanship has improved by a small level. It is almost impossible to get another explosive power in the battle. improvement.
After a dozen moves, he fell into a disadvantage, and after dozens of moves, he fell into defeat.
"...It seems like it's almost done."
Seeing this, Rayleigh tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword slightly, preparing to take action.
Of course he didn't intend to see outstanding young men like Zoro and Luffy fall here, and he had to stop Kizaru no matter what.
However.
Just when Rayleigh was about to take action, he noticed something again. He was slightly startled, and the fingers holding the sword relaxed again.
"Huh? It seems like I don't have to do anything with my old bones..."
