"It seems we can't avoid this battle today, so... let's find another place! A quieter spot..."

Rayleigh waved his hand, revealing a bright smile. This battle was indeed unavoidable, not only for Esdeath's side, but he himself was still burning with fighting spirit.

If I can't have a good fight, I won't be able to sleep at night.

"I know an island that's a bit closer. Let's go!"

Rayleigh waved to Esdeath.

With a step, Rayleigh leaped into the air and ran quickly towards the distance.

"Oh...this is..."

Esdeath began to learn Rayleigh's method and quickly rose up, keeping up rapidly.

This skill is difficult, even impossible, for ordinary people, but it is not difficult for someone like Esdeath, who already has a remarkable ability in body control.

Thanks to his excellent physical abilities, he quickly learned the skill.

And they became increasingly skilled.

Esdeath gave chase quickly and soon caught up with Rayleigh. Noticing Esdeath was following, Rayleigh also began to accelerate.

The two chased each other, racing to a remote island about several dozen miles away.

The island was very small, with an area of ​​only about twenty square miles, and the two of them could see the boundary at a glance.

However, it's barely suitable as a battlefield.

The two landed on the island and their eyes met.

"You don't seem to know how to use Moonwalk?"

"Rayleigh asked."

When he first took action, he was still keeping an eye on Esdeath out of the corner of his eye. He clearly noticed Esdeath's initial awkwardness. Although she quickly became proficient, he was certain that Esdeath hadn't really known how to do it at the beginning.

This made him quite curious. How could a powerhouse of this caliber not know a low-level technique like Moonwalk?

"Is this called Moonwalk? It's an interesting technique!"

Esdeath stomped her foot, looking rather pleased.

"...You can't use Moonwalk? Then...how about this?"

Rayleigh twisted his body and kicked out from nowhere, propelling the substantial airflow to form a pillar-like shockwave.

Esdeath swept away the airflow with a kick, and at the same time retaliated with a strike.

"Boom~~"

The surging air blew across Rayleigh's face, revealing his surprise.

He discovered that Esdeath had only just learned the Tempest Kick.

"Hey! What's going on? What's going on? You can't even do the Tempest Kick, and don't tell me you can't do Haki either."

Rayleigh tensed his legs, pushed off with his feet, and shot out like a cannonball, closing in on Esdeath.

His right arm was enveloped in black energy, forming a jet-black arm.

"This is……"

Esdeath had actually noticed it long ago: the black aura that appeared on Rayleigh's arm when he blocked her attack at the dock.

Being exceptionally sensitive to combat, she immediately realized that this item had the effect of strengthening the body and dissipating power.

"Oh... it's called domineering!"

So far, Esdeath doesn't understand the principle behind this, so naturally she can't learn it as easily as Tempest Kick or Moon Walk.

"Try..."

Esdeath decided to take the hit head-on and test the effects of this imposing aura.

Of course, it wasn't about taking the hit with one's body.

Ice formed in front of his arm, transforming into the shape of a shield, and met Rayleigh's black wrist.

Touch

Ice fragments flew everywhere, and the immense force easily shattered Esdeath's ice shield upon contact. The dark wrist, carrying unparalleled power, slammed towards Esdeath.

I managed to dodge it by turning my body to the side.

"What a powerful force."

The strength of this thing clearly exceeded Esdeath's imagination.

However, she doesn't think she will lose.

As he dodged to the side, his right fist shot out like a spring, hurtling towards Rayleigh's chest.

It slammed into Rayleigh's chest with tremendous speed, sending him flying and rolling several times on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Esdeath felt no joy at the victory; she knew perfectly well that her punch had also been blocked by that same kind of power called Haki.

"That's strange. You don't know the Six Styles or Haki, yet you're so strong? Your physical talent is amazing!"

Rayleigh slowly stood up. He was fine, just as Esdeath had thought. He had used Haki to defend himself, and the punch had left him with virtually no injury.

However, he was indeed extremely surprised.

He doesn't know the Six Styles of the Navy, nor does he possess Haki; he's truly a self-taught individual. Yet, his strength is absolutely due to his innate talent.

This talent reminded him of Charlotte Linlin, who possessed the "steel balloon," and Kaido, who was "immortal."

Clearly, in terms of physical strength alone, as long as one learns techniques like Haki, one could definitely become a powerful admiral or even a naval admiral.

Moreover, Esdeath before us is more than just that.

Chapter 19 Rayleigh's Composure

capable person

Rayleigh already knew that Esdeath was a Devil Fruit user, with a fruit related to ice.

"Logia type? Paramecia type? Ice-Ice Fruit? That's Aokiji's Devil Fruit ability, so what other Devil Fruit can create ice?"

The most suitable candidate is undoubtedly the Ice-Ice Fruit, but it is directly ruled out because of the ironclad rule that there can only be one user of a Devil Fruit at any given time.

The newly appointed Admiral Aokiji is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, the Ice-Ice Fruit. Rayleigh even fought with him and is certain that he possesses the Ice-Ice Fruit.

As for Esdeath, that's unclear.

However, the type of fruit is secondary; the main thing is how well it is developed.

"Come on! Let's begin the second round."

After their first encounter, Rayleigh didn't believe Esdeath would be foolish enough to continue hand-to-hand combat; she would definitely choose to fight using her abilities.

During the battle, Esdeath's strength will become clear.

Just as he had thought, Esdeath also realized that without the support of Armament Haki, she had no advantage in close combat, and it was more appropriate for her to use her abilities to fight.

With a wave of his hand, countless ice shards rapidly formed around him, and with a thought, they rained down on Rayleigh like a storm.

"oh oh……"

Armament Haki enveloped his entire body, Rayleigh smiled, and strode towards Esdeath.

Ice spikes hurtled towards him at breakneck speed, comparable to bullets, strong enough to tear apart a human body and shatter trees, yet they shattered upon impact with his body.

Bring your five fingers together to form a palm knife shape.

Look at this!

Rayleigh bared his teeth and waved his arms.

Heaven and earth were severed. In Esdeath's eyes, a very thin line appeared, dividing the world in her field of vision into two parts.

"This is……"

That was a wave of energy, or something like sword energy.

It was slashing towards Esdeath with unstoppable momentum.

The frost spread rapidly from Esdeath, covering the earth with ice. As ice walls rose from the surface, layer upon layer, forming an ice layer tens of meters thick.

It blocked the path of that "line" head-on.

The two came into contact in the next instant.

Esdeath's pupils contracted, and she immediately lay back, forming a beautiful iron bridge with her delicate body.

The line grazed the tip of her nose, trimmed a few strands of her hair, and flew past swiftly.

Subsequently, the thick layer of ice collapsed and crashed onto the ice surface.

"What a powerful blow."

Esdeath's Secret Passage.

At the same time, a quick glance out of the corner of my eye revealed the reflection of the ice on the ground.

He immediately flipped to the side, dodging Rayleigh's punch.

The heavy iron fist slammed into the ice, sending up large chunks of ice along with the shockwave, which then splashed outwards.
