"There's another rule!" Rocks angrily retorted, "Any pirate whose purpose is Shakky's Bar, after arriving on this island, is not allowed to fight within the island!"
This rule was actually set by Shakky to ensure the bar could operate normally, without being smashed and rebuilt every other day.
Hitler grinned at the words.
"Roger and his Pirate Crew are indeed here for Shakky! But Rayleigh isn't!"
Rocks was stunned, then finally remembered that Rayleigh hadn't even come to the bar earlier.
In fact, Rayleigh hadn't even landed on the island!
How could anyone be sure that a person who didn't even land on the island was there for Shakky?
Rocks reined in his anger, his gaze at Hitler gradually calming, then becoming somewhat playful.
Roger's side also fell silent, clearly, Rayleigh's act of hiding on the ship indeed didn't comply with Shakky's no-fighting rule.
"Hey! Rayleigh!"
Hitler withdrew his gaze from Rocks and turned to Rayleigh.
"If you admit that you came to this island for Shakky's Bar, I'll stop fighting you!"
"Otherwise! I'll continue to challenge you!"
Rayleigh's expression froze, his Cold face flushed, and he said, stiffening his neck, "Continue the fight!"
Hitler scoffed at the words, "What a coward!"
With that, Hitler charged at Rayleigh, his cannon-style swordsmanship reappearing.
Rayleigh also charged at Hitler , unleashing his full Haoshoku-infused sword technique.
The two once again engaged in fierce combat in the center of the arena.
Roger scratched the back of his head.
He could roughly guess why the two were fighting, but if Rayleigh didn't admit it himself, there was no way to act according to the rules.
It was much simpler for Rocks's side.
Most of them actually wanted to see how strong Hitler was now.
Since Rayleigh wasn't following the island's rules, it was a good opportunity for them to witness Hitler 's full power.
"Lion's Severing Valley!"
Once again creating distance, Hitler swung the long Sword in his hand, rapidly unleashing dozens of golden flying slashes.
Golden Lion, who was watching, immediately froze, "That's my move?! This Brat !! When did he secretly learn it?!"
Rayleigh easily deflected Hitler 's flying slashes, sending them all into the sky, where the clouds were cut into countless fragments.
Wielding his Haoshoku-infused blade, he delivered a vertical slash.
This time, Hitler didn't dodge. Instead, he gripped his long Sword with both hands and, with all his might, delivered a horizontal slash.
"HEAVEN'S FULL CRESCENT MOON"
A horizontal, pure white slash shot out. It resembled a half-moon ring, not merely flying into the distance, but expanding outwards from Hitler 's center.
Whitebeard's eyes narrowed, "That's my move!"
Although his move had no name, and Hitler 's execution was somewhat altered, the effect produced was the same: slicing everything within a 180-degree radius in front of him into two halves, upper and lower.
Crack!
A slash not imbued with Conqueror's Haki was, after all, a little weaker against a Haoshoku-infused slash.
Hitler 's half-moon slash was easily shattered, and he was forced to grip his Sword with both hands, directly blocking Rayleigh's slash.
"Yah—ha!"
With all his strength, he flicked his blade upwards, and Hitler finally succeeded in guiding Rayleigh's slash skyward.
Just then, Rayleigh rushed in front of Hitler .
"It's over!"
With a diagonal slash, a huge wound appeared on Hitler 's chest, blood splattered, and he was sent flying, crashing into a cluster of buildings.
Smoke rose, and Rayleigh calmly sheathed his Sword.
"The victor has been decided!"
However, at this moment, neither Roger nor Rocks spoke.
A moment later, a cough came from the ruins of the building.
"Cough cough!"
Immediately after, a storm-like slash shot into the sky, sweeping away all the smoke.
Holy white light bloomed from Hitler 's body.
The members of the Rocks Pirate Crew all groaned, their faces showing expressions of enjoyment.
Even the pirates who had been blown away by the aftermath of the battle and hadn't died also showed expressions of joy and pleasure.
"Shakky-chan ~"
Their eyes were Heart Shape , as if they saw their dream Shakky making love to them.
During this time, countless holy light tentacles with magic patterns were released from Hitler 's body.
These tentacles wrapped around those affected by the ability, drawing a small portion of their life force to replenish Hitler .
A wound on Hitler 's chest, deep enough to almost see his ribs, healed rapidly, and his complexion returned to a healthy rosy color.
Then, he retracted his tentacles, and the holy white light also gradually dimmed.
Hitler 's face once again bore a confident smile, and he murmured to himself, "Conqueror's Haki infusion... so that's what it is!"
The next second, black-red Haki surged from his body, soaring into the sky. The shattered clouds above re-converged because of him, forming a swirling vortex of dark clouds.
"So... so powerful Haki..."
The Roger Pirates and the Rocks Pirate Crew were all stunned, including Roger and Rocks, whose gazes at Hitler became serious and scrutinizing.
The next second, this immense Haki gradually retracted under Hitler 's control, bit by bit, like ribbons, coiling around the Sword he held.
Zzzzzzz!
The concentrated Conqueror's Haki emitted a dazzling red light due to its extreme density.
Immediately after, this dazzling light shifted towards a deep black, and finally reverted to seemingly ordinary black-red lightning.
The one-meter-long Sword in Hitler 's hand was thus gradually enveloped by the black-red lightning, spreading from the hilt towards the tip.
And just as the entire long Sword was wrapped in Conqueror's Haki lightning, suddenly—
Clink!
With a crisp sound, the long Sword in Hitler 's hand, which had dozens of nicks from clashing with Rayleigh, shattered into pieces on the ground.
Hitler , who was about to launch a counterattack, froze, completely unprepared for this situation.
Rayleigh, who was tensed and ready to engage, also froze, clearly not expecting this either.
Fortunately, there was Rocks, a master of Haki, who knew what was happened and explained, "Your Sword is too shoddy! It can't withstand your Haki!"
Hitler then realized what had happened.
However, after this incident, he no longer had the desire to continue fighting Rayleigh.
"Never mind, let's call it a day. I've just had Gained Lot and need to go back to practice properly."
Looking up at Roger, Hitler loudly declared, "Roger! Don't forget our agreement! We'll have a fight before you leave!"
Roger solemnly agreed, "Ah ~ I'll look forward to it!"
This time, his words were much more serious.
A Hitler who had mastered Haoshoku was indeed qualified to be his opponent.
Even if this young man was still very young and lacked a bit in various aspects.
Seeing that Roger wasn't being perfunctory, Hitler no longer lingered, turned, and quickly left.
He indeed needed to go and properly Study Haoshoku technique he had just comprehended in battle.
As a transmigrator without a system, he couldn't be careless about such matters.
