Boom!
Ten days later, in the Calm Belt, adjacent to Rusukaina, on an uninhabited desert island, cold light roared as sword slashes struck each other. Two figures, like needles facing each other, fiercely confronted each other. One after another, shocking slashes continued to pour out.
"Divine Departure!"
"Divine Departure!"
The sound of metal clashing was deafening and shocking. The two swords collided suddenly mid-air, without any direct contact. The shock wave continued to spread.
Boom!
The ground was directly torn and destroyed. Along with the violent air waves, countless rocks and vegetation were violently lifted up. The originally calm sea was suddenly filled with waves and started boiling. Without any suspense, Ren was still slightly weaker. He was blown upside down.
His wings fluttered violently, stirring up astonishing wind pressure. He stepped hard, trying to stabilize his body but Rayleigh looked sharply. He wouldn't show mercy when he gained the upper hand and his body rushed towards Ren.
The sword in his right hand shone with black and red lightning. Wrapped with the powerful Armament Haki, he swung it without mercy. Through the terrifying slash, the ground was torn apart in an instant and got blasted straight towards him. It made people feel chilly.
Boom!
There was a loud noise and smoke billowing into the air. An exaggerated huge crack appeared right there, like an impassable natural chasm, it cut across the entire deserted island which caused unstoppable seawater to pour in.
"Tsk, tsk, he is so strong despite being so old!" In the billowing smoke, a figure fluttered its wings and came out. Ren's majestic figure flew over. Flames were rising from behind and he was unscathed.
Looking at Ren who seemed to have faced nothing, Rayleigh's eyelids twitched. Wiping the sweat on his head, he shook his head helplessly, "No, I'm old, I can't compare to you young people! But having said that, the Lunarian Clan's racial talent, coupled with your monster-like physique is really… jaw-dropping."
He looked Ren up and down, marveling. Even if he didn't go all out just now, he was almost using all of his strength so that attack shouldn't have been completely ineffective. After all, he didn't see Ren use his Mythical Zoan's abilities to boost his defense at all.
"No, even in the case of my fire defense, you have indeed hurt me. There would've been at least a dozen permanent scars here if I didn't use my Devil Fruit as well." Ren pointed to his torn clothes and said calmly.
After all, although Rayleigh was old and frail, he was no longer in his prime but these days, due to the constant sparring, his body that was out of touch has gradually recovered. With strong strength, he can still firmly regain a lot of his strength. He had also mastered the power of Conqueror's infusion, of course it can hurt him.
"Oh?" Looking at Ren's exaggerated muscle lines and smooth chest, Rayleigh was surprised, "You didn't transform just now, did you?" If he remembered correctly, from the start of the battle until now, he seemed to have never used his Devil Fruit ability.
"Who told you that I have to show a large area of zoan transformation to be considered a transformation?" The corners of Ren's mouth rose. In Rayleigh's shrinking gaze, he took off his shirt, and his body changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Red scales emerged one after another, covering his entire upper body but whether it was his height, head, hands, etc, there were no changes.
"Does your whole body show indestructible scales?" Rayleigh was full of surprise, "Partial zoan transformation? Have you developed such a transformation form?"
As the vice captain of the Roger Pirates, when he was adventuring on the sea in the past, he had seen countless people with Zoan Devil Fruits. He has even seen a lot of people with Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits but never has he seen someone like Ren who could partially transform very small areas on his body to defend that part.
"The blue ball is like a key, opening the door to multiple transformations for me." Ren chuckled and said, "Even if I don't need it now, combined with the secret of Seimei Kikan, I can still use various transformation forms at will! If it's just a partial transformation with scales covering my whole body, it won't be difficult for me at all!"
Normally, whether it is the complete beast form or the human-beast form, although the whole body's defense has been greatly strengthened but relatively speaking, the defense of areas such as the abdomen was far inferior to places like the back. Even Kaido was no exception.
This most powerful creature on land, sea, and air, even in his human-beast and beast forms, did not have his chest completely covered with dragon scales. Thanks to his strong body, that area could ignore most attacks but compared to other parts, the defense there was undoubtedly much inferior.
However, Ren was able to do this through the blue ball, which forcibly interfered with the deformation wavelength of his own Devil Fruit ability. After his body adapts and remembers it, he would no longer need a blue ball to use it.
"I'm convinced that you are truly a monster!" Rayleigh sighed. This young man was really the most talented monster he has ever seen. In such a short period of time, he had almost exhausted all his tricks. Originally, although he would not say that he wanted to hide his secrets, before Ace was rescued, it was impossible to teach his sword techniques to him so easily and without reservation.
However, Ren's exaggerated talent and understanding completely convinced him. He was so happy that he unknowingly taught him everything.
"In terms of swordsmanship, I have nothing to teach you anymore." He put away his sword, sat down, looked at Ren and said, "Even with Haki, you have almost mastered everything. What's left is a long period of hard work, as well as polishing through continuous actual combat!" He was vaguely looking forward to how far Ren could go.
"Thank you for these days!" Ren said with a smile. To be honest, it was a pure exchange of interests between the two at the beginning. Now, however it was impossible for them to become best friends who share everything but eventually there was a certain friendship.
It wasn't just the swordsmanship aspect of the protocol that was taught. Even some of Ren's questions about Haki were answered by Rayleigh without reservation, which has benefited him a lot.
Problems that he has been pondering over on weekdays were easily solved. These days, both his swordsmanship and Haki have improved to a higher level which made Ren have a good impression of Rayleigh.
"No need to be polite, this is a deal between us. As long as you can rescue Ace, I will be satisfied!" Rayleigh waved his hand. To be honest, he was a little unsure whether Ren could rescue Ace. After all, in order to defeat the Navy, the Whitebeard Pirates could use the ability of Tremor-Tremor Fruit to directly ignore the blockade of the Gate of Justice or the Calm Belt, break into Impel Down but although it was claimed that he is imprisoned in the deep sea prison but it is not certain whether Ace was kept in Impel Down or Marineford.
"Don't worry." With a chuckle, Ren said, "Tomorrow is the day of the execution, so prepare the Mythical Zoan & Roger's sword Ace, and wait for my good news!"
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news." Rayleigh smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he remembered something and turned back to Ren, "By the way, I heard from Shakky that just ten days ago, Hancock had agreed to the Navy's recruitment and went to Marineford.
"It seems that she wants to see the power of the strongest man in the world and the highest combat power of the Navy and confirm how far he is from the real monsters in the sea! It seems like your previous words really irritated her!"
"Oh?" Ren raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised. A few days ago, the Kuja Pirates' ship arrived at Rusukaina Island early in the morning, but the empress did not come in person. She just told the two sisters Sandersonia and Marigold to send over the unknown Devil Fruit and take away Saint Malgaz.
According to Marigold, her sister Boa Hancock was indeed greatly stimulated. It was as if she had suddenly changed into a different person. Before dawn, she had already started training for the first time in a long period of time. Unexpectedly, she also agreed to the Navy's recruitment for such a reason.
