"Oh, right? You're the pirates who attacked the Celestial Dragons on the island, aren't you?"

"A slave girl, two young men, and Silvers Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the Roger Pirates."

Borsalino, who had just come out of the naval training camp and was interning on Admiral Sengoku's ship, was surprised to see Rayleigh suddenly appear. He quickly regained his nonchalant demeanor.

"So, this attack on the Celestial Dragons was also planned by your Roger Pirates, right?"

"Well! I just happened to be with them."

Rayleigh placed his hand on the long sword at his waist and smiled at the young Kizaru.

"So, young marine, can you let us leave?"

"Of course not. If I let you leave so easily, I'll be punished."

"Whoosh~~"

Before he could finish speaking, a yellow laser shot out from Kizaru's fingertip with lightning speed.

"Sneak attacks are not a good habit, young marine."

Rayleigh drew his long sword from his waist and unleashed a crescent-shaped slash that sliced ​​through the incoming attack. The remaining force was undiminished, even severing Kizaru in front of him, and then cutting down several giant trees in the distance before slowly disappearing into the air.

Roy, standing nearby, remarked, "Is this what a great swordsman looks like? Those moves are so cool! I have to learn that. Yeah, I'll practice more after I run away."

At this moment, Kizaru, who had been cut in two, emitted a golden light that reconnected his body.

"Within the realm of Kowa, they are no match at all."

Seeing that Kizaru was completely unharmed and was still speaking in a sarcastic tone, Tesoro, who was standing next to him, became strangely nervous and subconsciously took two steps back, while Stella tightly grabbed his sleeve.

Roy, however, showed no sign of panic. Instead, he looked at the future admiral in front of him with great interest.

He ate the Glint-Glint Fruit so early? Logia-type Devil Fruits are indeed troublesome. But given Kizaru's current age, his abilities haven't been developed to the level they'll be in the future.

"Mr. Raleigh, how far are we from the boarding point?"

"Oh? Kid, you're pretty calm now." Rayleigh looked around. "It's just over there on the cliff edge."

"Okay. Got it!"

Roy wasted no time. He used his mental powers to envelop Tesoro and Stella, and suddenly accelerated, carrying the two of them towards the edge of the cliff.

"Boss, are we just going to abandon that old man like this?" Tesoro asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, Rayleigh will be fine. We need to leave this island before the admirals arrive."

Stella glanced at Rayleigh, who had stopped in place to restrain Kizaru, and bit her lip. "Lord Roy, I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."

"Don't talk nonsense. You're the navigator I've chosen," Roy interrupted her. "Now that I've rescued you, I won't let you be captured again."

As they were talking, a naval force appeared ahead.

The naval lieutenant commander leading the group was slightly taken aback when he saw Roy and his two companions, and then immediately drew his sword.

"That's them! Fire! Shoot!"

Roy narrowed his eyes, and his immense mental power erupted instantly, causing the surrounding rocks, planks, and various old scraps to float up and rain down on the navy team like a storm.

"what!"

"Get out of the way!"

The navy scattered and fled, and Roy seized the opportunity to rush through the gap.

"Damn it! Don't let them get away!"

The roar of the navy and the sound of pursuing footsteps came from behind.

Roy gritted his teeth. Although his telekinesis was powerful, continuous use would consume a lot of his stamina. Moreover, he had to carry two people while flying, so he couldn't hold on for long.

We must conserve our energy and find Rayleigh's ship as soon as possible.

Because, according to Roy's Observation Haki, a powerful aura was rapidly approaching.

"Damn, they got here so fast?"

Tesoro's face turned pale. "Boss, what do we do?"

"Let's find a ship first." Roy took a deep breath. "If all else fails, I'll use my powers to get you directly onto the ship. You guys get out of here first, and I'll hold them off."

"But boss, you..."

"Shut up! This isn't the time for sentimentality!"

The three rushed to the edge of the cliff and immediately saw a sailboat large enough to carry more than a dozen people docked on the shore. Roy didn't linger and quickly led the two people onto the boat.

Just as the three men lowered the anchor and slowly started the boat moving.

"Boom!"

A loud noise suddenly came from the shore. Roy's expression changed. It seemed that Rayleigh had already started fighting Sengoku.

Roy glanced at Tesoro and Stella, who were maneuvering the ship, and slowly floated up, instructing them, "A powerful figure is approaching. You two should set sail and leave. I will catch up with you!"

As it spoke, it flew towards the shore.

Just as Roy stood still on the shore, a yellow flash swiftly passed through the woods, transforming into a human shape and stopping in front of him.

It was Borsalino who had broken free from Rayleigh's control.

"Oh! Wow, you actually dared to stay behind alone to cover the retreat!"

Roy felt a surge of unease upon hearing Kizaru's sarcastic voice.

"Rear Admiral Borsalino, a flashy guy who ate the 'Sneaky Fruit,' try to catch us."

"Whoosh~~"

After making his rant, Roy slightly raised his finger, and several pebbles on the ground shot through the air, passing directly through Borsalino's body and leaving only a few holes.

Logia-type attacks are really troublesome. Without the help of Armament Haki, it's impossible to attack a physical object. This shows just how powerful Logia-type attacks are.

He originally planned to find a way to go to Skypiea and eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, since the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power would never be weak no matter how it was developed. But he ended up with the 'Mind-Mind Fruit,' which was more suitable for him.

"Oh dear, buddy, you almost got hit!"

"A eight-foot mirror!"

With a flash of light, Kizaru's figure instantly appeared beside him, delivering a light-speed kick straight at his face.

"Bang!"

Before the light-speed kick could land, Roy waved his left hand, and Borsalino's three-meter-tall figure was instantly sent flying, turning into light particles and reappearing not far away.

At this moment, Roy had already fully reduced his Observation Haki and was carefully probing Kizaru's mind.

Sensing Kizaru's attack pattern, the attacker released their Nen power in advance, condensing their spirit into an invisible shockwave the moment Kizaru appeared, sending the unsuspecting Kizaru flying.

Kizaru, who had stopped a short distance away, now had a serious look on his lewd face.

"Kid, what kind of ability do you have?"

"I don't usually reveal my abilities to others, Flashy Man!!"

Without another word, Roy clasped his hands together and unleashed "Planetary Devastation," a move he had copied from the one next door.

Under the control of his mental power, he instantly enveloped Kizaru into a giant sphere.

Just as the two were facing off, Rayleigh used his full power to entangle Sengoku, temporarily repelling him. In a flash, he rushed towards the shore.

After standing next to Roy, he glanced at the huge sphere beside him and teased, "I didn't realize you were so capable, kid!!!"
