I, The Celestial Dragon, Rule The Heavens Through The Double Gate

His gaze secretly peeped at Kaos.

After all, there is only one Celestial Dragon around here.

Although there are guards secretly protecting him, if he find an opportunity, he will not miss it.

Thinking about this point

Rayleigh gritted his teeth tightly, swung the long knife in his hand, and slashed out with all his strength, the slash swept toward Kaos.

"Courting death!"

Stussy was furious but she quickly appeared in front of Kaos, directly blocking the blow.

At the same time, Zero and Kong rushed at Rayleigh and launched an attack.

But Rayleigh seized the opportunity, dodged at the critical moment, and then went straight for Kaos.

Even though Stussy blocked the way, because she had just deflected Rayleigh's full-strength attack, she was unable to react in time and was blasted aside by Rayleigh.

In the blink of an eye.

Rayleigh reached Kaos, and without hesitation extended his left hand to grab Kaos' neck.

But the next moment.

Kaos turned his head and dodged easily.

This scene shocked Rayleigh. "How can this be?"

Although he had grabbed casually, how could a Celestial Dragon evade?

Inexplicably, a bad premonition arose in Rayleigh's heart.

"Who gave you the courage?"

Kaos' cold voice sounded at this time.

He didn't care what Rayleigh was thinking nor did he have any intention of finding out.

After dodging Rayleigh's grasping hand, Kaos stretched out his hand, grabbed Rayleigh's neck suddenly, and slammed him toward the ground under Rayleigh's stunned gaze.

Bang.

Rayleigh spat out blood, his face pale, his eyes filled with pain.

Kaos' eyes were cold. With a slight movement, violent thunder surged and raged, rushing into Rayleigh's body frantically.

"Ah!"

A painful scream broke out from Rayleigh's mouth involuntarily.

"Since you dare to come to Mariejois, you are courting death."

"If you want to die, I'll help you!"

Kaos spoke indifferently, raised his left hand high, and the long spear intertwined with thunder and holy flame condensed. Not giving Rayleigh a chance to react, Kaos stabbed without hesitation.

There was a sharp sound.

The spear pierced Rayleigh's chest abruptly, the point emerging from his back.

Blood spurted out.

Rayleigh lost a significant amount of vitality in an instant.

The blow not only pierced Rayleigh's chest but also his heart.

With just one hit.

Rayleigh was left powerless, unable to struggle.

He could only lie on the ground, unable to move.

Bang.

Kaos kicked Rayleigh, sending him flying and smashing him into the distance.

Perhaps Rayleigh never imagined that Kaos was not an ordinary Celestial Dragon.

It never occurred to him that Kaos' strength was not weaker than his.

Trying to ambush Kaos, in Rayleigh's view, was a path to survival. But in reality, it was a path to death.

Looking at Rayleigh lying on the ground and nearing death, Kong looked conflicted.

After all, Rayleigh had once been the vice-captain of the Pirate King Roger's ship, definitely one of the top figures in the sea. But now, he was dying here.

It could only be said that he sought his own end.

He shouldn't have come to Mariejois.

As Rayleigh lost the ability to struggle, his life began to drain away.

Stussy and Zero also returned to Kaos' side.

"Your Highness, are you all right?"

Stussy asked. Although Kaos didn't seem injured, as his loyal subordinate, she couldn't help feeling worried.

Kaos shook his head and looked toward Kong.

Kong's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head.

Kaos ordered, "Kong, you made a big mistake today. I'll let it go this time because of your past merits. But don't let this happen again."

"Yes, it absolutely won't happen again, Your Highness. Please rest assured."

Kong nodded quickly.

He was also shocked by Kaos' strength.

No time to think.

Kaos' voice came again.

"And all the guards on duty tonight—execute them all!"

"They didn't even notice intruders sneaking in. What's the difference between them and useless trash?"

Hearing this, Kong's expression stiffened.

After all, many of those guards were descendants of Marine generals who had died in battle.

But today, he had indeed made a grave mistake. Even he had almost died, let alone those ordinary soldiers. Kong couldn't say anything; he could only nod.

Immediately, Kaos turned his gaze to where Rayleigh was lying.

Life had drained away.

Rayleigh was dead.

The vice-captain of Pirate King Roger's ship, a major figure in the sea, and even the master of the protagonist Luffy from the original story.

He had died at Kaos' hands today.

Pierced through the heart by Kaos.

But even in death, he still had value.

After pondering for a while, Kaos spoke again. "Display Rayleigh's body and let the scum of the sea see it. There are places where not everyone can tread."

"I don't want there to be a second time."

With a cold snort, Kaos turned and left.

Today's events.

Although not as bad as in the original story, where even the slaves had escaped.

It was still a major incident.

By tomorrow, the news would sweep across the world.

But that was fine.

Rayleigh's death.

It was enough to remind everyone of the power of the World Government once again!

Kaos, however, had no plans to sleep.

He couldn't rest either.

Taking Stussy and Zero with him, he headed toward the meeting room of the Five Elders.

At this moment.

The Five Elders were seated, their expressions indifferent.

Like Kaos, they had been furious earlier. But now that the matter was resolved, they had to address the follow-up issues.

With Kaos' arrival.

The Five Elders respectfully greeted him, "Your Highness."

Kaos waved them off, sat in front of the Five Elders, and asked, "How's the discussion going?"

The blond elder with his chin resting on his hand nodded. "It's almost done. The events will be published in tomorrow's newspaper. There's no need to conceal anything that happened today. Report everything truthfully."

"After all, with Rayleigh's reputation, his death in Mariejois can greatly intimidate pirates across the seas and even allied nations."

Kaos nodded without objection and turned his gaze to the elder with the sword. "What about the Fish-Men?"

"Some were killed in action, some were captured alive. One of them is quite strong."

Quite strong?

Jinbe?

Kaos rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

In truth, he had wanted to capture the Fish-Men alive.
