Clash of Conqueror's Haki

"Shenchuan?!"

Upon hearing those two words, Rayleigh froze for a moment, his imposing aura vanishing instantly. He instinctively asked:

How do you know Shen Chuan is in my hands?

Kyle gave a mysterious smile.

"secret!!"

Shikigawa is one of the 21 Great Grade Swords, and it is also the longsword used by Rayleigh and Kizaru when they fought in the original work.

Why is it called a sword? Because although it's called a knife, its appearance is different from the knives of this world; it looks like a longsword in his memory.

Rayleigh frowned slightly. He had accidentally snatched Shenchuan from a group of pirates!

I never used it in public after receiving it, so why would Kyle know?

After a long silence, Rayleigh still couldn't come up with an answer, so he simply stopped thinking about it and looked at Kyle with a deep gaze, saying:

"Why should I lend you Shenchuan? You're a Marine, I'm a pirate. Lending it to you would be tantamount to aiding the enemy."

"And what if you don't return it to me?"

"I will definitely pay you back, but I'm not sure if you'll want it back then!"

Kyle smiled and said something that left Rayleigh a little confused.

But before he could figure it out, Kyle spoke again:

"As for why you lent it to me?"

As he spoke, Kyle turned his gaze to Shakky and said with a smile:

"Ms. Shakky, you know I'm a Marine, but do you know that Sengoku is my grandfather, Zephyr is my teacher, and Garp is my brother's grandfather?!"

"If Mr. Rayleigh doesn't agree to lend me Shirakawa, then there's nothing I can do, since I can't beat Mr. Rayleigh!"

"If that's the case, then I'll have to ask my grandfather, Professor Zeff, and old man Garp to come and catch up with you all!"

"You two used to be so close, I'm sure they'll be happy to see you two old acquaintances!"

Kyle had a smile on his lips the whole time, but what he said made Rayleigh and the other man's lips twitch.

You're threatening us, aren't you? You're absolutely threatening us, aren't you?

Shakky and Rayleigh didn't think Kyle would lie to them about this, because there was no need for him to!

After a moment of silence, the two glanced at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. Then Rayleigh made his decision.

"Alright, kid! I can lend you Shenchuan!"

After saying that, he went into a room inside the bar and came out a short while later with a long sword in his hand.

If Kyle hadn't said what he just said, Rayleigh would never have lent the River of Desolation to a Marine.

Are you kidding me?!

Doesn't Rayleigh have any shame? He just lends things to a Marine who comes to his door?

But if this navy has those three old guys as backers, then Shenchuan could be borrowed.

no way!

They didn't want their hard-won stable life to be disrupted again.

Sengoku and Zephyr were a bit better off, but Garp was a real headache for them. When they were young, they were constantly being chased by each other.

They really didn't want to run into that madman again.

But Rayleigh was still seething with anger. He had actually been threatened by a mere brat in the navy, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being wronged.

So he stopped a few steps in front of Kyle, and did not immediately hand Shenchuan over to Kyle.

Instead, he squinted and said:

"Before borrowing Shenchuan, I have a question I'd like to ask you!"

"you say!"

"I want to ask... why did you have the audacity to come to me alone to borrow Chenchuan?!"

Before he finished speaking, an incredibly powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Rayleigh's body, surging towards Kyle like a raging tidal wave.

Furthermore, it was only directed at Kyle and had no effect on the surrounding area, which demonstrates Rayleigh's precise control over Conqueror's Haki.

Only Kyle was currently enduring the impact of Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki, feeling as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.

But Kyle showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he was filled with excitement.

Is this the Conqueror's Haki of a top-tier powerhouse?

That's really powerful!

Kyle raised his hand, and with a thought, the bottle of wine on the bar instantly disappeared, stored in his system space.

Before Rayleigh and Shakky could even react in surprise, a powerful surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Kyle, colliding with Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki.

If it were just Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki, he could target only Kyle. But if another Conqueror's Haki appeared and clashed with his, then...

boom--

An incredibly powerful aura exploded outwards from the two of them, shattering the bar's glass instantly. The bottles on the counter were no exception, all exploding and scattering liquid all over the floor.

A violent aura surged continuously, and the entire bar seemed to tremble slightly.

Standing to the side, Xia Qi felt the aftershocks of the clash between the two's Conqueror's Haki, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes.

Of course, this shock was directed only at Kyle.

She hadn't expected that this little guy in front of her would also have Conqueror's Haki, and that his Conqueror's Haki was quite strong.

Although not as strong as the man in his family, he's still very strong!

Rayleigh, one of the main characters, was equally surprised, sharing the same thought as Shakky: he never expected Kyle to possess such a level of Conqueror's Haki.

Feeling the impact of the opponent's Conqueror's Haki, Rayleigh also showed a long-lost excitement, a smile appeared on his lips, and an even more ferocious Conqueror's Haki was suddenly released, its intensity reaching another level.

Kyle felt a sudden heaviness in his body. He hadn't expected Rayleigh to hold back earlier. It seemed that the Conqueror's Haki he was releasing now might not be Rayleigh's full power.

Although Rayleigh's strength was declining at this age, it wasn't by much, considering that it was still more than ten years away from the timeline in the original work!

Feeling the pressure, Kyle became even more excited.

Just as Rayleigh said when he taught Luffy about Haki in the original work, Conqueror's Haki is the most special of the three types of Haki. It cannot be strengthened by the user's training, but rather it will become stronger as the host's strength and spirit increase.

The same situation applies to Kyle, two years after he awakened his Conqueror's Haki.

Each time his strength increases dramatically, his Conqueror's Haki also becomes significantly stronger.

A powerful spirit comes from great strength; without strength, how can one speak of spirit?

Of course, this doesn't mean that a person with strong abilities necessarily has strong spirit, but a person with strong spirit is definitely not weak in ability.

As for Doflamingo, he's a complete weakling. He's not strong enough, and his spirit is even worse. He trembles with fear when he hears Kaido's name.

Even if you manage to awaken Conqueror's Haki by sheer luck, what good is it? It can only be used to clear out mobs; it's utterly useless otherwise.

Kyle is very excited, extremely excited!

The sensation of this clash of Conqueror's Haki ignited his passion, and he unleashed his full power without holding back.

boom--

Centered on the bar, terrifying black and red ripples spread across the entire island of Chambord, their terrifying power sweeping across the island...
