Rayleigh shouted, and his Susanoo was activated. Then, after adjusting his position, he slashed at Madara Uchiha with his sword.
"call out!"
Madara Uchiha was sent flying backward and fell into the sea. Rayleigh originally thought he would sink into the sea, but when Madara Uchiha glided on the surface of the sea, he was shocked again.
"This...this guy is actually standing on the sea surface???" Rayleigh stared at Uchiha Madara on the sea and muttered to himself.
Stepping on water is a technique that might not seem significant in the Naruto world, but it's incredibly useful in the One Piece world, especially for Devil Fruit users.
"We were a bit careless!"
Madara Uchiha stood on the sea and muttered to himself.
Rayleigh quickly regained his senses and continued his attack on Madara Uchiha.
He concentrated his Armament Haki into his longsword, then leaped into the air and, using the momentum, swung it down.
"Is it condensed onto the longsword by some kind of power?" Madara Uchiha analyzed, looking at Rayleigh in the air.
Indeed, his Sharingan can see Armament Haki more clearly than normal people, but Is has not mentioned it to Madara Uchiha, so he is not clear about the concept of Haki yet.
From his own perspective, this is about bringing together some kind of power to achieve a certain level of defense and enhanced attack.
Madara Uchiha did not intend to use his scythe to deal with this attack, but instead switched to the fan behind him for defense.
"boom!"
When the longsword touched the fan, the sea churned, and the World Government ships, as well as the naval vessels in front, were violently shaken.
"What? Has it been absorbed?"
Rayleigh was even more surprised, as the long sword that was originally covered in Armament Haki had suddenly been deactivated.
Madara Uchiha's lips curled slightly as he said softly, "Uchiha Reflection."
"boom!"
A powerful shockwave erupted from the fan, catching Rayleigh completely off guard. He was thrown back and crashed into a naval vessel, creating a large hole.
What followed was billowing smoke and dust.
“Rayleigh…!”
On the stern of the naval ship, the Roger Pirates shouted down into the large hole below.
"Pfft!"
Rayleigh coughed up blood. Today's battle had completely overturned his previous understanding. Indeed, this kind of bizarre technique and weapon was something he had never encountered before in all his years of sailing.
"It seems that this Celestial Dragon is different from the others, given that he has such a powerful bodyguard."
Just as he finished speaking, Madara Uchiha rushed in, wielding a scythe.
"Boom!"
Instantly, the ship's interior exploded, and the stern of the naval vessel plunged headfirst into the sea.
Seawater rushed in instantly, and Rayleigh grabbed Madara Uchiha's scythe with one hand, blood streaming down his face.
"It's over. Devil Fruit user, I originally wanted to do it myself, but I didn't expect to be sunk by you." Rayleigh grinned, seemingly on the verge of victory.
Madara Uchiha looked at Rayleigh with a surprised expression and asked, "What are you talking about?"
As they spoke, the seawater was already almost up to their necks.
"They should be here by now."
Rayleigh tried to pull the scythe away with all his might, but Madara Uchiha still held it tightly.
The next second, Rayleigh realized something was wrong: "What's going on? You should be feeling weak by now?"
"Weakness? Oh, I did hear Is mention that Devil Fruit users become weak when they come into contact with seawater, but... who told you I'm a Devil Fruit user?" Uchiha Madara said with a slightly unrestrained smile.
Immediately, Madara Uchiha pulled hard, successfully breaking free, and then delivered a final blow.
The scythe sliced across Rayleigh's body, and blood instantly stained the seawater red.
The situation above.
Roger and Jabba had arrived by then, and they originally thought they had successfully captured the World Government's ship.
However, seeing this, Roger and Jabba were both shocked.
"Captain Roger... Captain Roger, you've finally arrived!!" one of the trainee crew members said, his voice trembling with emotion.
Roger frowned slightly and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
“Rayle won’t let us get involved. He’s being heavily suppressed by the World Government guys right now,” the trainee crew member replied.
"Where is he now?"
"Underneath inside the ship."
Is standing not far away also looked unwell. He had originally thought that the vice admirals could hold out for longer, but he did not expect that they would all be taken down in such a short time.
"Looks like today is going to be a tough battle!"
Is was ready to fight at any moment.
Upon learning of everything that had happened, Roger drew his sword without hesitation, his gaze fixed on Is.
"A Celestial Dragon, right? Let me handle this."
Just as he was about to take action, he said this.
The ship he was standing on exploded directly beneath it.
Two figures soared into the sky, one landing on Is's ship and the other in front of Roger.
"Rayleigh!"
The crew members nearby breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Rayleigh appear unharmed.
But only Roger soon discovered that what was dripping from him was not just seawater, but also blood.
“Ray…Rayleigh!” Roger stepped forward.
Rayleigh turned around with a smile on his face: "Roger, you've arrived! Sorry, I haven't taken over the World Government's ships yet."

Chapter 30
Seeing Rayleigh's smile and looking at the blood still dripping, Roger felt a pang of unease and confusion.
What kind of person could inflict such an injury on Rayleigh in such a short time?
Roger slowly extended his slightly trembling hand and gently turned Rayleigh around.
He frowned after seeing the long scar on his body.
"Quickly, call our ship's doctor!"
"Yes, Captain Roger!"
"Roger, this little injury is nothing."
Rayleigh smiled slightly, as if he wasn't the one who was injured, and spoke casually.
Roger patted Rayleigh on the shoulder and said calmly, "Leave the rest to me. Let me handle him."
Rayleigh knew Roger's character all too well. Since Roger had already said that, no matter what Rayleigh said, Roger certainly wouldn't allow it.
“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll take a break this once. But Roger, you have to be careful. That guy in the suit with long hair… uses techniques that none of our previous enemies have ever used,” Rayleigh warned.
Upon hearing this, Roger grinned and said, "Wait for me on the ship. I'll personally bring back some fine wine to nourish your body."
As he spoke, Roger drew his long sword from his waist, and Armament Haki instantly enveloped the blade.
Before he could even make a move, Madara Uchiha had already charged over, wielding his scythe.
"Shh!"
A figure flashed past Roger, wielding an axe in both hands, blocking Madara Uchiha's scythe attack.
"Leave this guy to me, Roger!" Jabba said to Roger without turning his head.
"..."
Roger originally wanted to help Rayleigh get some advantage, but Jabba beat him to it, so he couldn't say anything more.
The next second, he brandished his longsword and charged directly at Is.
Facing a formidable foe, Is also roused his spirits. With a wave of his hand, countless burning pieces of paper flew towards Roger, who was rushing towards him.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Luo Jie's knife strikes are incredibly fast. He defends and dodges simultaneously, while the distance between them continues to close.
Seeing this, Is stopped attacking with the paper pieces, waved his hand again, and the paper pieces formed a long spear, which was then covered with Armament Haki.
"when!"
The spear and the long sword clashed.
Suddenly, a huge gust of air swept around.
"Crack!"
Is's feet sank directly into the ship's deck.
As expected of the man who will conquer the Grand Line in the future, even though this is not his peak period, he is still ridiculously powerful.
"drink!"
Is roared, the veins on his forehead bulging, as he continuously increased his power.
“Sizzle…”
Huge black lightning bolts, formed by the impact, flashed all around.
Having finally managed to reverse the situation somewhat, Roger also increased his own strength.
"Crack!"
Is's feet deepened again.
“I have to admit, you are very strong, Roger!” Is said in a deep voice.
