One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 100 Great Battle

During the violent collision, a powerful airflow was generated, and the ground beneath Rayleigh's feet was pressed into a deep crater.

Minos watched as Rei used his Ryuo Armament Haki to block his powerful kick and sneered, "This old guy from the old era is pretty good!"

Rayleigh sneered, "Minos brat, there's a lot you don't know!"

With that, Rayleigh increased the force in his hand, instantly sending Minos flying.

Minos lightly leaped into the air and landed on the ground, sneering, "Just a few words of praise and you think you're something special. As expected of an old-timer from the past, you're not worthy of being called respectable."

Minos instantly appeared in front of Rayleigh, and the two began to fight using hand-to-hand combat. Minos launched a series of punches, but Rayleigh blocked them with his own fists.

Moreover, and most importantly, Minos's Observation Haki and Armament Haki are not as strong as Rayleigh's, and he sometimes gets punched a few times.

Minos felt a slight heaviness in his body and was speechless.

If only my Armament Haki and Observation Haki could both reach the advanced level.

Rayleigh's attack couldn't seriously injure him, but it was very humiliating!

Just as Minos was still pondering, he suddenly heard Rayleigh's faint laughter: "So these are the Five Emperors? They seem to be nothing special after all?"

Minos looked at Rayleigh's smile, as if it were mocking him.

Thinking of this, Minos said in a deep voice, "What we just did was a warm-up; now the real battle begins."

With a swift movement, Minos raised his hands, gathering white energy and his fists, which were enveloped in Armament Haki, into a powerful stance.

Minos arrived in front of Rayleigh at lightning speed and said in a deep voice, "Armed - Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist." Instantly, countless white and black fist shadows attacked Rayleigh.

Rayleigh's eyes flashed, and he quickly dodged as his Observation Haki swept over him.

Minos naturally noticed this, but continued to swing his fist.

Smoke but no injury is quite reasonable at this moment. The previously invincible Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist is now unable to hit anyone.

Minos watched this scene intently, lost in thought.

In the past, his opponents were either weak or lacked advanced Observation Haki. Back then, he fought with ease, but now it's very difficult for him to encounter someone with advanced Observation Haki.

Minos kept thinking that if it were a head-on confrontation, Rayleigh would definitely not be able to defeat him.

However, if your opponent doesn't initiate combat but instead keeps dodging, then your attacks become quite useless.

Minos recalled his battle with Kizaru back in the Alabasta Kingdom. At that time, he was also helpless against Kizaru; with Kizaru constantly dodging, he couldn't gain the upper hand.

In the end, it was only because Kizaru couldn't dodge when he was protecting someone that he was able to hit him.

Now, Rayleigh is doing the same thing. Am I going to threaten Rayleigh in the same way again?

Just then, a loud laugh broke the silence of the battlefield.

"Minos brat, so you've been here all along!"

Minos looked in the direction of the laughter and saw an old man with white hair, wearing a white suit and a naval justice cloak.

Minos muttered to himself, "So it's Garp! And there seems to be someone else behind him..."

That's right, the person who came was none other than Kizaru, who had a brief encounter with Minos not long ago.

At this moment, Kizaru said with distress, "Vice Admiral Garp, wait for me!"

Minos looked at the situation seriously. Rayleigh was watching him intently from the front, while Garp and Kizaru were keeping a close eye on him from the side.

Minos glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the Navy and the pirates have teamed up?"

After Minos finished speaking, he heard Garp laugh loudly and say, "No, I just came to arrest you, but I didn't expect that old guy Rayleigh to be here as well."

Kizaru was speechless as he watched Garp reveal the information: "Vice Admiral Garp? How could you let the information slip out?"

Karp scratched his head: "What's the big deal? Minos can't escape anyway."

Minos was speechless at Garp's appearance. If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

Then Minos heard Garp laugh loudly, "People used to say that Hades Rayleigh was in Sabaody Archipelago, but I didn't believe it then! Now it seems to be true!"

Minos turned his gaze to Rayleigh, who smiled and said, "Garp! It's been many years since we last met! But..."

Minos saw Rayleigh pause for a moment, then saw Rayleigh say coldly to him, "Today I'm mainly here to teach this brat Minos a lesson. Your navy's affairs have nothing to do with me."

Minos was speechless. Even at this point, Rayleigh was still trying to deal with him. Just how annoying am I?

Just then, Minos heard more bad news from Karp.

Garp chimed in with a loud laugh, "So that's how it is. How about we take care of Minos together?"

Uh, okay. Minos was utterly speechless. Why did they all have to come and deal with him?!

Moreover, there are three powerful individuals involved; this is truly fascinating.

Thinking of this, Minos sneered, "You guys are shameless! You actually cooperated."

Kizaru picked up on Minos's words and sneered, "That's called all's fair in war. You really tricked me badly back in Alabasta. Now, it's just giving you a taste of your own medicine."

Minos was speechless upon hearing Kizaru's words. He thought to himself, "Is it really that serious? Didn't I just trick you back then?"

Just then, Minos heard Garp laugh loudly again: "Minos brat, you're very lucky. The original plan was just me and Kizaru to capture you."

Garp continued, "I didn't expect you to have a conflict with that old man Rayleigh. Don't blame us for taking advantage of your situation."

Minos glanced at Garp and the other two and said calmly, "If you want to capture me, then come on!"

With a swift motion, Minos enveloped his fist in Armament Haki and launched a direct punch at Garp.

Garp, seeing that Minos dared to attack him, found it amusing. Instantly, his hands were covered in Armament Haki, and he clashed with Minos.

Minos and Garp were engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat, their blows landing squarely.

Minos looked at Garp in front of him and muttered, "As expected of a naval hero, his fists are indeed hard and painful."

Garp looked at Minos and laughed loudly, "Minos brat, you are indeed strong, but your Armament Haki and Observation Haki are not yet up to par!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Garp quickly arrived next to Minos and punched him hard.

The moment Minos saw Garp disappear, he sensed something was wrong, but it was too late. He didn't even have time to use his Observation Haki before Garp punched him away.

Minos felt a slight stinging sensation in his body and looked up at Garp's Ryuo Haki with a speechless expression.

Ryuo isn't as powerful as Haten, but it can still hurt.

P.S.: I made some edits. (◣_◢)
