Roar!
A thunderous roar came out from Tori's mouth in his dragon form. Bright red blood came out from the long wound on his huge body.
Even with his tough and hard body, a strong sword strike filled with haki bypass his defense and deeply wounded him.
"Old man, congratulations on successfully angering me!" a rumbling voice came out from Tori's dragon mouth filled with rage.
His huge wings flaps and his gigantic body slowly raises from the ground.
Then, he dives downward towards Rayleigh with incredible momentum.
"This time...I'm serious!"
"Then let me see your real strength!" Rayleigh raises his sword that was already covered with haki and slash forward.
Peng!
Head and a sword collided!
Man against a dragon!
The whole Sabaody vibrated and the sky turned dark with rumbling thunder dancing!
"Old man! This is not enough to stop me!"
Tori's momentum suddenly increases drastically and the ground under Rayleigh's feet exploded to pieces.
'Not good!'
Rayleigh realizes that he underestimated the strength of his enemy.
The hand holding his sword release a cracking sound. Just as he wanted to pull away, the momentum suddenly increases and his expression solidified.
Boom!
When Rayleigh was buried in the ground, Tori immediately fly in the air and roared, "Old man! Go to hell alongside this whole island!"
Pure and strong destructive energy gathered in his mouth, and then, release it.
At the same time, both Vice Admiral Momousagi and Tokikake arrived at their site and just witnessed Tori releasing a powerful attack.
At that moment, the two shouted in unison.
"Bastard! Stop!"
"Stop!"
However, they were already too late. The attack already reached its target.
Boom!
A huge explosion happened destroying everything. The huge force sweeps through the whole island and destroys buildings and houses.
Several huge and sturdy mangrove trees were directly blown away and disappeared completely.
The huge explosion created a large tall mushroom cloud covering the whole island in smoke and dust.
Everything seems like a scene in a movie. The intense heat generated from the explosion directly burns everything around. The nearby battleships of the navy were not spared and burns into smithereens.
Tori who was flying in the air look down at the destruction below and directly left. With his strong sense of smell, he quickly finds Pony and Baby 5 covered in dust.
Although they are injured, it was still a superficial injury and didn't matter that much to them.
Pony saw his captain arrived and said filled with grievances, "Captain please inform us earlier if you would do something like this again in the future so that we can prepare beforehand. Fortunately, we have sone ability and just receive sone minor injuries. If not, we would be dead"
Baby 5 beside him nods her head in agreement. And she also stared at their captain with tears at the corner of her eyes.
"Alright stop and jump in my back. We need to leave this island quickly before the navy recover"
With what just happened that destroyed a part of the island. They will definitely be in the spotlight again in the eyes of the navy. So they need to quickly escape before the enemy could react properly.
Knowing their situation, the two sighs deeply and jumps at their captain's back leaving the area towards where their ship was.
Just after Tori left, at the deep crater created by the attack. Rayleigh slowly climbs up from the ground. His appearance was much more terrible than before and his clothes were gone.
Burnt marks covered his body and a single trace of blood was running down beside his lips.
As the man who receives the full force of the attack. Rayleigh bares most of the explosion. But the result was, he was only injured and can recover after several weeks.
This shows that although he is already away from his peak. He was still strong enough to receive such an attack that could devastate the area.
"It seems that I still underestimated the ability of the younger generation these days" he ignored his injuries and just look around at the destruction around him and sighs.
"He really made you look miserable this time. The younger ones seem will be able to surpass the older generation in no time"
Rayleigh heard a voice and saw that his wife Shakky was standing at the side of the crater with a smile on her face. Her appearance was much better than him as there were only spots of dust in her body.
"You're right, the new generation will eventually surpass the older generation, just like what Roger expected" his expression then turned complicated, and continued, "However, I believe that the appearance of that young man is beyond Roger's expectation. Because that young man is completely different from everybody else. He will move forward no matter what was put in front of him. He will break it with brute force"
Compared to Rayleigh's injuries, the marines who arrived from the headquarters to capture Tori was not doing so good.
With the huge blast, many of the marines were directly burned to dust and disappeared completely on the surface of the world.
Both Vice Admiral Momousagi and Tokikake who were also neared the blast were severely injured and was bleeding all over their body.
Thanks to their high strength and ability, they managed to survive the blast which killed over 3/4 of the troops they brought.
Sweeping their eyes around them, they were greeted by the horrendous outcome of the battle.
Seeing this, they now only realized the strength of the one they wanted to capture.
The headquarters thought that they already overestimate Tori's ability by sending two of the strongest vice admiral.
However, seeing their surroundings. They didn't expect that they still underestimated the enemy.
They didn't even know that the other party has eaten a devil fruit.
If they didn't see it first hand, they wouldn't know that Tori was a devil fruit user. And from the looks of it, the devil fruit he has is definitely a very powerful one.
"We need to report what happened here to the headquarters quickly," Momousagi said solemnly. "Also, ask for some help for the residents of the Sabaody who was affected by the fight"
She then turned to the two figure slowly disappearing from the distance, "Didn't expect that an old monster like him is staying this close to the headquarters and we didn't even know it"
Tokikake also saw the old man earlier and quickly recognized who he was, "Who should we capture now? The Young Beast Pirates? or the Dark King, Silvers Rayleigh?"
Momousagi ponders before answering, "Let the headquarters decide that"
A few days later, a huge wave sweeps every corner of the sea. The news about the battle of Tori and the infamous Right Hand of the Pirate King, Silvers Rayleigh shook every corner of the world.
People who heard the news were doubtful at first. However, when they saw the image of the destroyed part of the Sabaody. They began to believe the news.
The only thing they didn't expect was that Tori, who could be considered only as a newbie pirate has the strength to contend against someone like Rayleigh.
This alone shows how strong he is right now. What's more, is that he is still young. He still has many rooms to grow and become much more stronger.
Some were even confident that he will surpass his father in no time.
Kaido who was staying in Onigashima heard this and shouted.
"That brat thought he will surpass me. Just try and I will chain him with his sister"
Yamato who also heard the news about her younger brother was dying in jealousy. She gritted her teeth and cursed both her father and brother inside her heart.
