"Haha, young man, you really don't know your place!"
Rayleigh let out a long roar to the sky a few times, then lowered his head. His left hand, which wasn't holding a sword, raised his thumb and pointed at his neck, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. "My head is right here. If you want to use it to pay your debt, then come and take it!"
"Hah!"
Without thinking, Grimm charged forward. There were only five minutes left—he definitely couldn't stand around chatting. Chatting time wasn't counted, and if he left the fight, the timer might reset, which would be very awkward.
The two clashed again, swords constantly sparking with fierce flashes. But in the end, Grimm was no match for Rayleigh. Rayleigh once again thrust his sword towards Grimm's head.
"It can't be the Vice Pirate King!" Grimm cursed inwardly, thinking to himself that he might lose another Resurrection Coin.
But at this moment, Grimm suddenly remembered he had another skill: [Holy Shield].
"I am invincible!" he thought. Though it only lasted eight seconds, saving a Resurrection Coin was worth it.
Ding!
Just as Rayleigh's sword was about to strike Grimm, a very crisp sound rang out, as if striking an extremely hard surface coated in Armament Haki.
Everyone fixed their eyes and saw that Grimm was wrapped in a golden circular shield. It looked very hard—impossible to break.
And indeed, it was. Grimm, with the shield activated, charged at Rayleigh recklessly, throwing all kinds of skills wildly, completely abandoning defense.
Meanwhile, Rayleigh had fully entered combat mode. Whether it was the Holy Light Spear, Judgment, Holy Light Ball, or the Hammer of Repentance, Rayleigh dodged or blocked each attack with his sword.
Seeing Grimm with so many openings, Rayleigh's sword instantly drew countless sword auras.
But—
Clang clang clang...
All these sword auras, upon touching Grimm's Holy Shield, only caused ripples like stones thrown into the sea.
"What kind of shield is this? Hey, hey, this kind of cheap tactic makes it impossible to fight!" Bucky held his temples with both hands, sticking his tongue far out, about to lose it.
"Shut up, Bucky! Watch Mr. Rayleigh's fight quietly!" Shanks, nearby, was also tense, but he couldn't help but yell loudly at Bucky and then patted him.
"Shut up, Shanks! One day, I'll kill you!" Bucky, annoyed by Shanks' loud mouth, immediately went crazy.
While Bucky and Shanks argued, Rayleigh kept attacking Grimm's Holy Shield, but it still showed no response. Rayleigh had to keep dodging Grimm's attacks.
However, eight seconds wasn't long. Soon, Grimm's Holy Shield turned into points of light and disappeared.
Rayleigh's eyes lit up. "Kid, finally out of the turtle shell!" He suddenly charged forward, sword dancing, blood shooting everywhere, and slashed off Grimm's right arm that was holding the sword.
Along with the Ashbringer, it was knocked far away.
"Good!"
Seeing this, Bucky waved his fists and shouted loudly: "This guy isn't a Logia! Just chop off his hand, and there's nothing you can do—hahaha!"
"Young man, do you want to keep fighting?" Rayleigh asked. At this moment, Grimm's arm had fallen to the ground, and the Ashbringer disappeared.
All these weapons, once they leave Grimm's body, will automatically be stored in the system space.
Clang!
Rayleigh responded with a sword again, summoning his greatsword and holding it in his left hand.
Rayleigh jumped back. "Although I don't know how your sword returned to your hand, you only have one unaccustomed arm left. Are you sure you want to keep going?" Their swords clashed fiercely, sparks flying everywhere.
"Your swordsmanship is good, and your moves are powerful, but you still have a long way to go before you can use a sword in front of me!" Rayleigh's arm emitted even greater strength, forcing Grimm to retreat for a moment.
During Grimm's retreat, he withdrew his greatsword into the system space, then grabbed the Holy Light Spear and threw it out in one motion.
"You're already at the end of your rope, kid! It's over, young man!" Rayleigh dodged the Holy Light Spear's attack, and within half a second, countless swords flashed through the air—only in the eyes of others, countless silver glints flickered.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Seeing Grimm's body sliced into countless pieces of flesh, Bucky was so scared he stuffed all five fingers into his mouth. "Mr. Rayleigh... you went too far!"
Shanks shook his head and said: "The reason Mr. Rayleigh fights so fiercely is because if he doesn't, he can't defeat his opponent."
"Now... you probably can't heal anymore, right?"
Rayleigh exhaled a mouthful of foul air, accidentally tugging at his wound. His mouth twitched uncontrollably. "Ow, ow, ow, so painful, so painful! I need Crocus to check it out later!"
Just as Rayleigh thought the fight was over, Roger's expression suddenly changed. He charged forward abruptly, standing behind Rayleigh, and with his hand, grabbed a deadly golden spear that nearly hit Rayleigh's back of the head.
Everyone carefully looked and saw that about fifty meters away, a severed hand was floating in the air, in a tossing pose.
"What?" Rayleigh asked suspiciously. He turned his head and saw the severed hand floating alone in the air, very eerie.
Before everyone could react, a sky-shattering, divine light descended from the heavens, landing on the rotten flesh Grimm had turned into. The flesh turned into golden particles, and the severed hand rapidly transformed into a streak of golden light, flying into the golden glow.
These golden particles instantly formed a humanoid figure.
"Oh... the first person to directly wield a Holy Light Spear with 100% power and smash it apart." Grimm grinned widely, fully restored.
"Ahhh!!! I've had enough!" Bucky covered his head with both hands, transforming his body into several pieces, jumping around and shouting.
It was normal for Bucky to have such emotions—being pierced through the heart, having his head blown up, and then turned into countless pieces of flesh and still resurrecting. You? Playing snake skins, what are you fighting for?
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of ability, it's truly amazing!" Shanks looked excited, bursting with fighting spirit, watching Grimm clench his fists.
Bucky knocked on Shanks' head and said angrily: "What are you excited about, idiot? Showing admiration like that, are you an idiot?"
Unknowingly, Grimm was already cursing inwardly: "Damn it, I just lost another Resurrection Coin."
Roger grinned and said: "Haha! Truly unique, little brother."
"Undying... D, the most troublesome character!"
Roger turned his back to Rayleigh and drew his Western sword from his waist. "You were careless, my partner!"
Seeing Roger draw his sword, Grimm felt speechless—"My task is already complete! Damn it! Do you want to fight me too?"
Deep inside, Grimm strongly refused. But then he thought—"If I fight Roger, maybe I'll trigger a hidden quest?"
