Taking Action

Wherever the aftershocks of the collision passed, countless people instantly lost consciousness, their eyes turning white.

The few who hadn't fainted were also filled with horror, beads of sweat constantly seeping from their foreheads. They turned their heads sharply and looked incredulously in the direction from which the aftershocks of the Conqueror's Haki had come.

Being able to withstand this level of Conqueror's Haki clash means that these people are not weak, and their knowledge is naturally not bad either.

Therefore, they all understand the current situation.

"Who...who is it?!"

"He actually possesses this level of Conqueror's Haki!!"

Thick, dark red lightning bolts stretched across almost half of the Sabaody Archipelago, exuding a chilling aura.

Inside the familiar room, the Don Quixote family members, who were having a wild time, all shuddered. Like most people on the island, they all turned their gazes in a certain direction, their eyes filled with horror.

"A clash of Conqueror's Haki??"

Doflamingo spoke with a grim expression, his voice carrying a hint of tremor he himself was unaware of.

He also possesses Conqueror's Haki, and awakened it at a very young age, but his Conqueror's Haki hasn't improved much over the years.

He could sense that the two people he was fighting had far greater Conqueror's Haki than he did.

"Rayleigh, the King of Hades?!"

With the Don Quixote family's intelligence network, they certainly knew that the legendary pirate had gone into seclusion in Sabaody Archipelago.

The problem is, we haven't seen this guy fight with anyone all these years!

However, it's possible it wasn't him, but Rayleigh is the most likely candidate, since very few people possess that level of Conqueror's Haki.

And even if one of them is Rayleigh, then who is the other one?

Doflamingo didn't dwell on it; instead, he immediately made a decision and addressed the many executives in the room:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's banquet is now adjourned. We shall depart immediately!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, but seeing Doflamingo's solemn face, they didn't say anything more and instead all started packing their things.

Doflamingo stood there, his eyes gleaming, a hint of anxiety faintly visible.

For some reason, he's feeling a bit agitated right now, with a feeling that something bad is going to happen.

We need to get out of here quickly!!

Before long, the Don Quixote family members emerged from the room and hurried toward their ship, which was docked at the port of Sabaody.

……

"Um?!"

Kyle, who was unleashing his Conqueror's Haki with abandon, let out a soft exclamation and looked at Rayleigh in front of him, suddenly withdrawing his Conqueror's Haki.

Seeing this, Rayleigh withdrew his Conqueror's Haki.

Before he could say anything, Kyle reached out his hand and spoke first:

"Old man Rayleigh, lend me Shenchuan. My target seems a bit restless; I need to go take care of some business!"

Seeing this, Rayleigh didn't ask any more questions and simply threw the Sinking River in his hand to Kyle.

Kyle waved his hand, and a box suddenly appeared on the damaged bar counter. He looked at Shakky and smiled:

"There are ten million Berries in here, that's the money for that bottle of wine!!"

Kyle put the bottle of wine into the system space before engaging in a clash of Conqueror's Haki with Rayleigh. This wine costs ten million Berries a bottle, so it couldn't be damaged.

As for whether the ten million pesos were used to buy only this bottle of wine, that's hard to say!

After saying that, Kyle took out the tiger mask again, put it on his face, put on the hood, and wrapped himself up completely again. He then waved to Rayleigh.

"Old man Rayleigh, see you later!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of crackling sounds rang out, and Kyle's figure transformed into purple lightning and flew out through the broken window.

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?!"

Rayleigh murmured softly, then immediately walked towards the door, speaking as he went:

"Xia Qi, I'll go see what this kid's up to!!"

Before long, Rayleigh pushed open the door and disappeared from Shakky's sight.

Shakky glanced at Rayleigh's disappearing figure, then scanned the surroundings, and uttered four words.

The place is a complete mess!

Shakky, however, did not show any anger. Instead, she smiled as she looked at the box containing ten million Berries that Kyle had left behind.

"This kid...is quite interesting!!"

-

On the other side, above the Sabaody Archipelago, a figure was flying rapidly across the top of the Yarchiman mangroves.

After leaving Shakky's bar, Kyle did not continue flying over in lightning.

His Devil Fruit ability is indeed cool, but in this context it seems a bit too flashy.

So they had no choice but to walk the rest of the way, which was quite difficult.

Ever since arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, Kael's Observation Haki has been locked onto Doflamingo, even during his clash with Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki.

That's why he didn't hesitate to attack Doflamingo when he realized Doflamingo was about to run away.

He hadn't forgotten why he came here.

Before long, Kyle spotted Doflamingo and his group.

They had arrived in the "outskirts" of the Sabaody Archipelago, where there were no towns or ordinary residents around.

This makes it much easier for Kyle to move around!

Suddenly, Chenchuan was drawn from its sheath, and without hesitation, he slashed out with the sword.

boom--

A beam of azure light shot out, heading towards the Don Quixote family members below.

The wave cleaved through the air with terrifying force.

Below, Doflamingo was silently walking forward when suddenly, a terrifying sense of threat came from behind him. His expression changed instantly, and without turning around, he immediately roared:

"Get out of the way!!"

As he said this, he moved aside, and the surrounding cadres also instinctively moved aside as well.

But there were always a few unlucky ones who couldn't react in time. Before they could figure out what was going on, the wave swept over them from behind and above.

Boom!!

A tremendous roar resounded, and the cleaving wave carved a huge trench in the ground, billowing smoke and dust.

"Cough, cough, cough!!"

"W-What's going on?!"

The sound of coughing filled the air, followed by Pikana's signature high-pitched voice.

However, before they could catch their breath, the familiar sense of threat surged into their hearts again.

Pica looked up abruptly, and what came into view were three or four consecutive slashing waves.

In an instant, he became furious.

"This is outrageous!!"

An extremely sharp sound came from his mouth, and then his body immediately merged into the ground.

The next moment, a giant hand suddenly emerged from the ground and went straight for the incoming cleaving wave.

The moment it touched the cleaving wave, the seemingly rigid rock giant hand shattered instantly, turning into a pile of rubble.

But that wasn't all. A rock giant, tens of meters tall, emerged from the ground, its hands outstretched, once again reaching out to grab the cleaving waves...
