Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 241 The Barrier Fruit, The Death of Wald

The duel between Rayleigh and Issho was a clash between two masters of swordsmanship.

The back-and-forth attacks and defenses between the two sides were both dangerous and spectacular, providing a feast for the eyes of viewers around the world watching the live broadcast.

However, in the eyes of Kaido and his crew, this kind of duel is probably more of a game than a serious battle.

Although it's clear that Issho is fighting with all his might, as Rayleigh said, Issho lost his sight for too short a time. Even with his impressive Observation Haki, he can't avoid the fact that his body was once dependent on his vision.

At the same time, on the other hand, there is indeed a power gap of almost one level between Issho and Rayleigh.

Rayleigh, who is currently at his peak, could be defeated in a single move if he were to fight Issho, who is still young, and if he were to go all out.

It's similar to the all-out clash between the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates in the original timeline.

If both sides are intent on killing, Roger will stop Whitebeard, Jabba will stop Kozuki Oden, and then Rayleigh alone will be able to kill all the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Therefore, Rayleigh was merely acting as a sparring partner for Issho in this battle.

As for the reason, pirates don't have so many complicated stories. They just like to watch something funny and are interested in it.

After half an hour.

Having gained no advantage over Rayleigh, Yixiao stopped his attack.

He slowly sheathed his staff-sword, and Rayleigh opposite him asked with a smile, "What? Ready to unleash some powerful move?"

He smiled and shook his head slightly. "No, it's just that I really can no longer shamelessly continue this battle."

Yixiao bowed very solemnly to Rayleigh.

"I have benefited greatly from this battle, and I am very grateful for Mr. Rayleigh's kindness."

"It's just that this battle has indeed lasted a bit too long. I shouldn't delay the other contestants' time, so please forgive me, Mr. Rayleigh."

I smiled and admitted defeat.

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh's surging fighting spirit gradually receded from his body, and he smiled as he watched.

"It's a real shame. I think we could have played a little longer."

"Well, since you think this battle should end, then let's end it like this."

Rayleigh sheathed his sword, and the two walked off the ring peacefully.

Seeing this, Morgans, as the host, naturally praised the two for their harmonious battle.

Compared to the previous few matches that were quickly eliminated, this battle was extremely friendly to ordinary viewers who weren't very skilled.

Because the intensity of the battle between the two sides is not high, it is very entertaining to watch.

While Morgans was enthusiastically praising Rayleigh and Issho's harmonious and magnanimous relationship, the audience was somewhat left wanting more.

However, this disappointment didn't last long, and they were soon drawn to the next match.

Navy rising star Borsalino.

VS

Former Pirate Empress Gloriosa.

When the two men stepped onto the ring, the entire island of Aure erupted in cheers.

Don't get me wrong, this buzz has nothing to do with Borsalino, it's mainly about Gloriosa.

Like Bakkin, Gloria Osa, whose spirit has not yet faded, still maintains her peak appearance.

Her alluring face, seductive figure, and mature charm brought by time made all the pirates' eyes involuntarily sparkle with desire.

Although Charlotte Lindsay is widely recognized as the most beautiful woman in the world today, Gloria Osa can only be ranked second at best.

but……

Charlotte Linlin got married, but Gloria Osa didn't!

Therefore, Gloria Osa is currently far more popular than Charlotte Linlin.

Borsalino was quite troubled by the noise coming from the direction of the island.

"Ugh... bad luck with the draw, I got a troublesome opponent."

"Should I go all out in this battle, or should I take advantage of the chaos?"

"It's such a difficult choice~~"

Across from her, Gloriosa smiled seductively at the troubled Borsalino.

"Cute little guy, how about you just let your older sister win like this?"

"My sister really wants to get a higher ranking in this World Martial Arts Tournament, no matter what."

Gloriosa was very confident in her charm, especially since she could see that Borsalino was still a fledgling.

Young birds have the least resistance to the charm of mature women.

She winked at Borsalino and swayed her hips slightly.

Today, she wore only a crop top that revealed half of her breasts on her upper body, and a pair of briefs with a square cloth casually tied around her waist on her lower body.

Her long, white, and shapely legs were exposed, and her pert breasts, both in front and behind, exuded charm and allure with her gentle swaying.

If an ordinary fledgling saw this scene, even if it wasn't bewitched, it would probably instinctively hunch over and forcefully suppress the gun.

However, Borsalino didn't seem to feel much about it.

It's not that he's uninterested in women, but compared to Sakazuki's seriousness and ruthlessness, or Kuzan's fiery temper and gentleness, he possesses a greater degree of absolute rationality.

His sleazy and lazy demeanor was merely a facade to disguise himself.

Prioritizing the mission above all else, everything else is insignificant and can be ignored if possible—this is Borsalino's true way of life.

therefore.

Even though Gloriosa was extremely alluring, to Borsalino at this moment, she was nothing more than a mission target that needed to be defeated.

Duang!!

In the center of the island, a bell tolls, signaling the start of the battle.

Borsalino raised his hand and fired a laser directly at Gloriosa.

Gloriosa dodged the attack with a side roll, showing off her figure in the process.

call out!

boom!

Outside the arena behind Gloriosa, a golden laser struck the ice field, exploding into a huge ball of golden energy.

Seeing this, Borsalino spoke indifferently:

"You keep calling yourself 'older sister,' but aren't you actually from the same era as Whitebeard?"

"So, your actual age should be around forty-five or forty-six?"

"At this age, she's already an old lady, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gloriosa, who had just been showing off her figure, suddenly had a tic-tac-toe mark appear on her smooth forehead.

"You just said 'old lady,' didn't you, you brat?!"

"Hmm... Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Borsalino believed that he was at least sixteen or seventeen years older than Gloriosa, and that they were from completely different generations. In terms of seniority alone, he should address her as "Auntie." What was wrong with that?

"You brat! You're not cute at all!!"

Gloriosa was somewhat taken aback by Borsalino's comment about her being an "old lady".

After dodging another laser beam from Borsalino, she proactively and quickly approached Borsalino.

"Fragrant feet!!"

Her long, beautiful legs kicked out, enveloped in powerful Armament Haki.

Borsalino pulled his hands together in front of him.

"The Kusanagi Sword!!"

The cross-shaped sword, constructed purely of light, struck Gloriosa's beautiful legs, producing a metallic clang.

"Hmm~~ At her age, she still dresses like this. It's like everyone has seen everything that should and shouldn't be seen."

Gloriosa's forehead was covered in a grid pattern again.

"You brat!!"

She cursed as she continued to attack with her legs.

"Open your eyes and take a good look at me!!"

"My face! My chest! My legs! My skin! I don't look like an old lady at all!!"
