127: Chapter 126 The Sealed Elemental Domain, Luffy and Rayleigh VS the Three AdmiralsAfter an incredibly fierce and breathtaking offensive finally came to an end, Luffy barely managed to block the extremely sharp and powerful attack from the three admirals!At this moment, the three admirals' eyes became extremely serious—they never expected that this rookie would actually manage to withstand such a powerful blow single-handedly!However, judging from Luffy's current exhausted state, he must have exerted all his strength to achieve this.If they can successfully deal with this troublesome opponent, then the leaderless Straw Hat Pirates will naturally be easily defeated!
Just then, with the "Yasakani no Magatama," Kizaru transformed into a beam of light and flew into the air like lightning.Immediately afterward, countless beams of light, gleaming with deadly brilliance, rained down on the Straw Hat crew members on the ground.
Faced with the overwhelming attack, Kuina stepped forward without hesitation.After so much persistent and arduous training, her Water Breathing had reached its pinnacle.She took a deep breath, instantly entering a state of perfect tranquility, like still water.Then, "Water Breathing, Eleventh Form: Nagi" was activated!Surprisingly, no one saw Kuina swing her sword, yet the densely packed light projectiles seemed to be drawn away by an invisible force!
However, despite Kuina's considerable strength, she was still struggling to completely withstand Admiral Kizaru's attack.Many more energy blasts continued to hurtle towards them.In this critical moment, everyone unleashed their most powerful techniques: some used all their might to carefully protect the exhausted Luffy while desperately trying to fend off Kizaru's fierce onslaught; others cleverly used their surroundings and objects as cover, skillfully dodging the energy blasts.Fortunately, through their combined efforts, they managed to withstand this overwhelming wave of attacks, but everyone was injured in the process.
"Boltarino, you bastard, stop slacking off!Give me your full power!" Akainu roared angrily, launching a fierce attack.He knew Kizaru's true strength well and could clearly see that his opponent wasn't using his full strength.Kizaru, who had landed on the ground, nodded nonchalantly, seemingly unconcerned.In any case, not attacking wasn't a problem for him.
Aokiji remained silent, but his movements didn't stop.At this moment, despair filled everyone's hearts.Just defending against the attack of one admiral had left them so battered; now, facing the combined assault of two admirals, they were utterly helpless.Just as everyone succumbed to despair, awaiting death, Rayleigh suddenly appeared, long sword in hand.He swiftly interrupted Aokiji's attack, and then, just as the lava was about to strike them, he cleaved the scalding water in two with a single stroke.
"Dark King Rayleigh, instead of enjoying your retirement, what are you doing here?" Akainu roared angrily.At the same time, the three admirals gathered together, ready for battle.Standing before them was none other than Rayleigh, the former right-hand man of the Pirate King.Although time had passed and he was no longer young, his strength remained unfathomable and should not be underestimated.
Rayleigh laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, of course I'm here to save you little guys!Luffy, how are you feeling?Can you fight again?" At this moment, Luffy, who was lying in Uta's arms, barely managed to support himself, slowly stood up, and walked to Rayleigh's side.
"Of course!" Luffy said with a hearty laugh."I'm going to be the Pirate King, how could I lose my fighting ability over such a small matter?"
At this moment, Rayleigh seemed to see Roger's shadow in him.He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Hahaha, excellent!In that case, I'll go crazy with you today!But don't die easily, kid!"
Having said that, Rayleigh raised his long sword, assuming a fighting stance.The Straw Hat Pirates members also rubbed their hands together, ready to join their captain in causing a ruckus.Just then…
"Eight Elemental Domain - Sealing Off!" With a furious shout, the Eight Elemental Domain appeared without warning in front of Zoro and the others, like an impregnable wall, trapping them and the three admirals within.Just as the domain was about to completely seal off, Luffy suddenly turned around, a calm smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, everyone.I'm afraid I have to break my promise this time.You should leave as soon as possible.Leave this to me and Uncle Rayleigh." His voice was calm and firm, but a hint of determination crept in as he uttered the last sentence.
Before he finished speaking, the elemental domain was completely sealed off, like an insurmountable cage.No matter how hard his companions attacked, they couldn't break through this solid barrier.Zoro wielded his three incredibly sharp blades, slashing at the outer wall of the domain again and again, but each impact was futile.This usually resolute man now had a tear welling up in his eyes.
"You bastard!We agreed to face any difficulty together, so why did you break your promise today?Luffy, open this barrier!We'll fight side by side!" Zoro roared hoarsely, enduring the pain in his body.His heart was filled with resentment and anger, because he knew that at this moment, their captain was bearing immense pressure and danger alone.
The four women, tears streaming down their faces, continued their assault on the outer wall, trying their best to tear open a gap.A crack appeared, but unfortunately, their strength alone was insufficient to break through this solid barrier.After a fierce attack, everyone was exhausted from their injuries and could only kneel helplessly in place.Even so, none of them left; at that moment, each of them held only one unwavering belief: even if they were to die, they would die beside Luffy!
Within the domain, the three admirals watched the elemental field with keen interest.They keenly sensed a slight suppression of their own abilities.However, Luffy, empowered by the domain, quickly recovered.But he dared not relax in the slightest, for he knew that even with the domain's assistance, his strength was still insufficient to contend with the three admirals.
"You brat, I admit you do have some skills, but that's all!If you know what's good for you, you'd better surrender and be captured!" Akainu shouted arrogantly as he transformed into scorching lava, charging towards Luffy like a ferocious beast.
Facing the menacing Akainu, Luffy showed no fear and was about to retaliate when Rayleigh suddenly stepped forward, blocking his path.Rayleigh used his powerful Haki and swordsmanship to forcefully withstand Akainu's attack.
Meanwhile, Kizaru, seeing Rayleigh blocking Akainu, was secretly delighted and immediately transformed into photon form, preparing to seize the opportunity to ambush Rayleigh.However, in this mysterious realm, Luffy possessed an extraordinary ability—he could sense the fluctuations of all the elements around him.Just when Kizaru thought he was about to succeed, Luffy keenly detected his movements and reacted swiftly.
A dazzling light materialized in Luffy's hand, forming a massive halo.With a flick of his arm, the halo shot out like lightning, striking Kizaru's body with unerring accuracy.In an instant, Kizaru's photon avatar was shattered into pieces.
