Chapter 272 Death of Rayleigh

Jiger raised the demon sword Muramasa and pointed it at Rayleigh, with black arcs of electricity emanating from the tip of the sword.

He said lightly,

"Although it was you who put Shanks in danger, you managed to make amends in the end. I will give you a dignified death. Hold your sword tightly. You won't have another chance in the future."

Rayleigh gritted his teeth and said,

"Don't be so self-righteous! I haven't lost yet!"

Jiger did not respond. He slowly placed the demon sword Muramasa on his waist. Black gas like flames began to rise from the blade of Muramasa, accompanied by black lightning, causing the surrounding space to begin to distort.

The pitch-black domineering aura pressed down on Rayleigh, and he could only hold the sword tightly in his hand while releasing his own domineering aura.

The two domineering colors collided with each other, and black and red lightning crisscrossed in the field. In a moment, the last touch of red was completely swallowed up by black. Rayleigh was counterattacked and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This also made Rayleigh completely realize the reality, that is, now he can kill Jiger whenever he wants.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile emerged on Rayleigh's face. He never thought that he, who was known as the "Right Arm of the Pirate King", would fall into such a terrible situation.

But Rayleigh still had a bit of pride. Even though he knew he couldn't resist Jiger's next move, he still waved his saber and chuckled.

"Roger, you're watching! I can't bring shame to our pirate group!"

Rayleigh had already prepared himself for death, and at this moment, his domineering color broke through again, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground beneath his feet.

A red light flashed across his eyes, and he vaguely felt that Roger seemed to be standing behind him.

Jiger noticed the increase in Rayleigh's domineering Haki, but he didn't take it to heart.

To him, Rayleigh was already a dead man.

The entire space was filled with the domineering aura of the two people. After a moment, the two of them attacked almost at the same time.

"To protect the country."

"God avoids!!!"

……

The demon sword Muramasa turned into a black light and merged into Jiger's right hand, forming a black sword-shaped mark on his arm.

He turned around and looked at Rayleigh, who was crossed by two pitch-black sword beams, and said lightly,

"Is this the only trick you pirates have?"

Rayleigh turned his head stiffly and opened his mouth to say something, but the black blade light around him suddenly disappeared. Dense cracks appeared in the space torn by darkness, constantly tearing Rayleigh's body.

puff!

Blood spurted out and Rayleigh fell to his knees with a thud.

Pluto Rayleigh, dead.

......

On the other side, Xia Qi, who was running, seemed to sense something and she stopped suddenly. The Straw Hat Pirates and Ace's crew behind her also stopped immediately.

Xia Qi's face looked very ugly. Seeing this, Ace hurriedly asked,

"Ms. Xia Qi, what happened?"

Xia Qi did not respond. She tremblingly took out a piece of paper from her arms.

This is Rayleigh's life card. When Xia Qi took it out, it had already burned to only a corner. At this moment, it has completely turned into ashes and floated in the air.

Two lines of clear tears flowed from Xia Qi's eyes and slid down her cheeks.

Ace's face changed and he said in a trembling voice,

"Ms. Xia Qi, Uncle Rayleigh..."

Xia Qi was choking with sobs and unable to speak. She nodded with a painful look on her face.

Luffy clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Even Uncle Rayleigh... Damn it!!!"

The others also had sad looks on their faces. Although they had only known each other for a short time, Rayleigh died to protect them after all, even though they benefited from Luffy and Ace's help.

Nami was so scared that her face turned blue. She said in disbelief,

"How could it be, isn't Uncle Rayleigh a subordinate of the Pirate King? Why is it so fast... Is that Black Dragon a monster!?"

In their opinion, Rayleigh was already extremely strong, but even such a strong man could not even last ten minutes in Jiger's hands.

All they can say is that Jiger’s strength has completely surpassed their cognition.

Ace couldn't help but think,

"If Uncle Long were here, could he defeat the Black Dragon?"

He has been following Long since he was a child, and among all the strong men he has ever seen, Long is the strongest one.

Xia Qi raised her chin slightly and murmured,

"Rayleigh, are we parting forever like this?"

puff!

As soon as she finished speaking, a long knife suddenly pierced through Xia Qi's body. Xia Qi's eyes widened suddenly. She lowered her head and looked at the tip of the knife sticking out of her chest. She recognized at a glance that this was Rayleigh's sword.

Swish!

Jiger descended from the sky and said calmly,

"Won't we see each other soon?"

Xia Qi staggered a few times and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Ms. Xia Qi!!!"

The others immediately gathered around, and Luffy reached out to pull the saber out of Shaqi's body, but was stopped by Ace.

"Don't touch it! You'll bleed to death!"

Jiger in the back nodded and said,

"You're right."

After saying that, Jiger raised his hand, and a dark vortex appeared in his palm.

puff!

The sword was instantly pulled out by the dark gravity, and a column of blood spurted out from Xia Qi's chest.

Xia Qi fell to the ground in the same kneeling position as her old lover Rayleigh.

"what!!!"

Nami let out an ear-piercing scream and Jiger frowned slightly. His hearing was extremely sensitive and he hated this kind of sharp sound the most.

Jiger slowly raised his hand, pointing his palm towards Nami.

Nami could almost feel that her death was approaching.

Right now,

"Miss Nami!"

Sanji didn't know where he got the strength from, he kicked the ground with one foot and threw himself in front of Nami.

This is chivalry!

Snapped!

Sanji's entire face was pressed against Jiger's palm, and then with a buzzing sound, his head disappeared instantly like a magic trick.

Another headless corpse fell to the ground. Jiger kicked the corpse away without even looking at it.

Luffy knelt on the ground, his eyes empty.

After losing two companions in succession, his spirit had completely collapsed.

"You bastard!!!"

Usopp, one of the cowardly trio, suddenly exploded. He took out his large slingshot and shot several marbles at Ziger.

The marbles hit Jig with a tinkling sound, and soon the ground where Jig was standing was covered with marbles.

Jiger looked down, stretched out his finger and hooked it slightly. A marble was sucked up and was pinched by Jiger between his index finger and thumb.

Usopp on the opposite side was still shooting wildly at Ziger, and Ziger raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Usopp's movements came to an abrupt halt, and a tiny bloody hole appeared in the center of his forehead, with bright red blood flowing out of it.
