Chương 22: Chapter 21 Two Swordsman Fight
Aizen Looked At Rayleigh And Said,
"Although it's not very polite to say this, it seems that you Roger Pirates invited me aboard your ship, right? I should be the one asking the questions, shouldn't I, Mr. Rayleigh?"
Aizen smiled gently as he looked directly into Rayleigh's sharp eyes. His expression was calm, confident, and firm, carrying an aura of quiet authority that was neither humble nor overbearing. The square-frame glasses gave him a distinct scholarly air.
"Forehead..."
Rayleigh blinked, realizing that, indeed, it was his crew who had invited Aizen aboard. But seeing the lackadaisical Roger standing beside him, Rayleigh sighed helplessly.
"However, if I must say, I do have a purpose for coming here." Aizen's voice broke the silence, piquing the curiosity of Roger and the nearby crew members.
"I've heard that Pluton Rayleigh not only has great skill in physical combat and Haki, but is also an outstanding swordsman. I would like to request a lesson in swordsmanship."
Aizen's gaze was fixed on Rayleigh, his eyes gleaming with purpose.
There was no doubt that the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates was far stronger than him, and Aizen knew that with less than 10% of his power unlocked, he couldn't defeat him. But there was something else Aizen sought—a chance to test the abilities of a true swordsman, as well as the potential to combine them with the power of Reiatsu.
While Aizen's sword techniques were rarely seen, when they did manifest, they were deadly and precise. Against weaker opponents, Aizen often used Reiatsu to suppress and finish them quickly. Now, he sought someone who could challenge him in swordsmanship, to test both technique and strength.
"Ah! You want to ask me about swordsmanship?" Rayleigh's interest was piqued.
"But I won't go easy on you. If you want to learn swordsmanship, there are some masters aboard who are at a similar level to you," Rayleigh added, smiling warmly.
Click...
The unmistakable sound of a Zanpakutō being drawn echoed.
"If it's a lesson you seek, I'll be the one to teach you," Aizen's voice was calm, but resolute.
"Heh! He really is an intriguing guy!" Rayleigh snorted lightly. Despite Aizen's clear challenge, there was an undeniable charm in his demeanor. He could sense that Aizen wasn't just another arrogant young man, but someone worth engaging with seriously.
"Then I'll hold back no longer!" Aizen said, his voice steady. He vanished in an instant, his Zanpakutō crackling with blue Reiatsu as he aimed a direct strike at Rayleigh.
"Interesting!" Rayleigh murmured, his eyes lighting up as he met the challenge. In the blink of an eye, Rayleigh dashed forward, sword in hand.
At the same time, Rayleigh's blade was enveloped in an unusually intense black coating of Armament Haki, far more powerful than usual.
"Impressive Armament Haki," Aizen murmured, his brows furrowing slightly. While he knew Rayleigh would be strong, the sheer force behind his Haki was staggering. He wondered if Rayleigh was holding back.
"Don't get distracted," Rayleigh said as his blade struck with terrifying speed.
Boom!
The entire deck of the ship shook as the impact of Rayleigh's attack reverberated through the air. His figure shot forward like an eagle, faster than Aizen could react, leaving no time to use Shunpo to dodge.
Without hesitation, Aizen gathered all of his Reiatsu into his Zanpakutō.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The clash of Armament Haki and Reiatsu sent shockwaves across the ship. There was no finesse in their exchange—just pure power.
