One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 238 Clash of Titans!!!

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh's eyes, which had been as calm as a deep pool, suddenly narrowed slightly, and a chilling light flashed out.

Then, he let out a cold snort and said in an icy tone, "As for the affairs of this world, who is right and who is wrong will be judged and discussed by future generations. What I need to do now is to properly handle the matter at hand!"

Before he finished speaking, an unparalleled and powerful aura suddenly erupted from his seemingly frail body.

This momentum was like a surging tide, sweeping outwards with overwhelming force.

However, unlike his previous all-encompassing, indiscriminate attacks, Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki was now highly condensed. It no longer spread outwards as before, but instead coiled and snaked like an incredibly agile serpent, hurtling straight towards Enni.

Its speed was unbelievable; in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Aini.

This scene inevitably evokes memories of the spectacular moment in the original work when the mighty Red-Haired Shanks used Conqueror's Haki to frighten away Marine Admiral Green Bull.

While Rayleigh may be slightly inferior to Shanks in terms of the sheer strength of Conqueror's Haki, it is undeniable that Rayleigh's mastery of Conqueror's Haki is unparalleled, and he is by no means inferior to Shanks.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

Aini let out a chilling laugh, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

Standing before him at this moment was not Kira, Apoo, Basil Hawkins, or other supernovas, but the legendary Dark Lord Rayleigh!

It's important to understand that Rayleigh is far beyond the reach of those fledgling supernovas.

Long before Roger dominated the seas, Rayleigh fought alongside him, traversing the vast oceans. His immense strength is in no way inferior to the Four Emperors who currently reign supreme!

From the fact that Rayleigh's mere appearance caused Blackbeard, one of the Four Emperors, to flee in panic, we can get a glimpse of the truth.

Therefore, if we don't use our best skills to deal with this formidable enemy, it will be difficult to defeat him today.

Suddenly, a surge of power erupted from Ani's entire body, equally powerful. However, it was completely different from the power that erupted from Rayleigh; it was Armament Haki, a skill only top-tier experts could master—and it was Armament Haki using the special technique, Ryuo!

Moreover, this special Armament Haki, under Enni's control, seemed to have a life of its own, intertwining and entwining together.

Immediately afterwards, Aini stretched out a hand, and the Armament Haki that was originally wrapped around his arm shot out like an arrow, transforming into a huge shield at an astonishing speed, standing firmly in front of Aini, like an indestructible defensive line.

"boom...."

The next second, an even stronger power erupted from Rayleigh, a power that was terrifying. His Conqueror's Haki was like a surging torrent, crashing down on Enni's indestructible Armament Haki shield with overwhelming force.

In an instant, the enormous energy generated by the collision intertwined and collided violently, like two meteors colliding fiercely in the sky.

The clash of these two powerful forces triggered an extremely terrifying shockwave, like a raging storm, sweeping wildly in all directions from the point of collision.

Wherever it passed, everything suffered substantial damage and destruction. The once solid ground shattered instantly under the impact of this shockwave, and countless cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

These cracks are not only numerous, but each one is also extremely deep, inspiring awe and fear.

Not only was the ground severely damaged, but the walls of nearby buildings were also affected. Shocking cracks, like ferocious giant pythons, snaked up the walls, their number, extent, and density far exceeding those on the ground.

Some walls were so heavy that they began to sway and could collapse at any moment.

"Boom!"

The intense clashes between the two sides show no signs of abating.

The terrifying shockwaves surged higher and higher, spreading outwards continuously.

With deafening roars, the ground could no longer withstand the immense pressure. The already deep cracks widened and merged, eventually forming a large-scale fissure. This fissure area rapidly extended two to three hundred meters away, as if the earth had been torn open with a huge, ugly mouth.

At the same time, buildings within a range of two to three hundred meters also collapsed due to the continuous shockwaves and violent tremors.

They first shook violently, then bricks and rubble poured down like an avalanche, turning the entire building into ruins in an instant. Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the sky, a truly horrifying scene.

Besides Ani and Rayleigh, only Basil Hawkins was present. Although he wasn't the first to be hit, the terrifying shockwave was like an unstoppable force.

Poor Basil Hawkins had no time to react before being struck by this immense power.

In an instant, he was like a kite with a broken string, completely out of control, flying straight into the distance. Finally, after a long flight, he crashed heavily three or four hundred meters away, raising a cloud of dust.

After a long while, Basil Hawkins struggled to his feet.

However, he was already in a sorry state, with a shocking trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries in the impact just now.

Nevertheless, he managed a forced, more pathetic laugh than a grimace, muttering to himself, "I knew those two guys were incredibly strong, practically monsters. But I never imagined they'd be this ridiculously powerful. Just the aftershocks of a single exchange of fire were enough to easily send him flying and even inflict some damage... It's terrifying!"

Just then, something extremely bizarre happened. Without warning, a long gash appeared on Basil Hawkins' previously unharmed body, as if something was about to burst forth. Then, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—a tiny, exquisite scarecrow slowly emerged from the gash.

"scarecrow!"

This is Basil Hawkins' signature move.

This amazing ability comes from the Devil Fruit he ate—the Straw-Straw Fruit. Through in-depth exploration and skillful use of the fruit's power, as long as the straw man isn't exhausted, he remains an unkillable being.

When enemies attack him, the scarecrows transfer the damage he suffers to them. The scarecrows he has parasitized absorb all the harm for him.
