That night

, beside the campfire,

Noah was wearing a coat, looking at the people lying on the ground in a mess, and he felt inexplicably sad.

As a time traveler, he knew clearly the fate of these people. Whitebeard died in the war at the top, and half of his head was knocked off by Akainu's punch. In the end, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was stolen by Blackbeard, and his death was heroic and sad.

Kozuki Oden, who taught him the sword, Noah only saw the Sabaody Archipelago two years later before traveling through time. However, as the only man in the Whitebeard Pirates who was worthy of being a brother to Whitebeard, since he did not appear in the war at the top, it is very likely that his soul returned to his hometown and died.

Looking at Roger, who was sleeping on Whitebeard's belly and snoring loudly, who would have thought that in the near future, this invincible man in the world would be terminally ill, and after his last voyage to Raftel, he would use his own life to usher in the advent of the great pirate era.

"They are all fallen heroes." Noah sighed secretly.

Suddenly, a big hand fell on Noah's shoulder. Noah was startled and then let go.���The smell of alcohol and tobacco coming from behind him clearly told Noah the identity of the person behind him.

"It's not a good thing for young people to suffer from insomnia, little Noah."

Rayleigh, wearing a coat, sat next to Noah.

"It is not a good thing for a middle-aged man to suffer from insomnia, Uncle Rayleigh."

Noah retorted

Rayleigh laughed, stood up and said to Noah:"Since you can't sleep, little Noah, come and practice swordsmanship with me."

Noah was a little surprised. No matter how much Rayleigh admired him, after all, the two sides were still enemies on the surface. I have never heard of the saying that the second-in-command of one side would instruct the rising star of the other side at night because of admiration for young people.

Seeing Noah stunned, Rayleigh couldn't help laughing:"Why, can't you figure it out?"

Seeing Noah shaking his head, Rayleigh pointed to the sea:"Little Noah, do you think the strong men on this sea go to sea just for treasure and fame?" Without waiting for Noah to answer, Rayleigh continued with emotion,"We go to sea for dreams!"

Rayleigh looked at Noah and thought of the port a long time ago, lying on the boat, just like Noah now. A man with a straw hat on the shore was smiling and asking himself:"Are you interested in joining me to turn the world upside down?"

"Perhaps, the future ocean will belong to you and the red-haired kid on our ship. It is rare to have the opportunity to personally promote an era."

The island, the shore.

The two groups of people in the distance are almost invisible, and the huge bonfire has become a little light. Noah holds a long sword and is ready to fight.

""Little Noah, come and attack me with your dream of becoming a great swordsman!" Rayleigh shouted,"A true great swordsman must be prepared to die, and must be tempered in blood and iron!" As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura swept towards Noah like a wave covering the sky.

"This kind of domineering color... Damn it."

Noah was almost unable to stand under this momentum. He now realized that the strength shown by Bai Tian Rayleigh was not even one percent of his. Thinking back, as a pirate famous for his physical skills and swordsmanship, Bai Tian did not use any moves. Perhaps in Rayleigh's mind, this itself was not enough to be called a battle.

"In that case... Iai-ryu - Broken Cloud!"

Noah put his sword back at his waist, calm and composed. In order to verify and improve his swordsmanship, Noah deliberately did not use some tricks. However, as the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, even if he has the innate advantage of being raised by Whitebeard himself, don't forget that after dozens of battles with the Roger Pirates, he at least has the strength to contain Jabba.

"Uncle Rayleigh, let's try this trick!"

Noah shouted, tapped the ground with his toes, and rushed towards Rayleigh. The long sword in his hand was quickly unsheathed with a clang. In addition to the purple-black armed color domineering aura on the sword, there were also waves of water-like aura wrapped around it.

"The use of Conqueror's Haki? What a monster! Rayleigh raised his two swords and slashed at Noah.

The two crossed each other, and the collision of the swords did not seem to make any sound; but a strong breath swept out, and the surrounding grass, trees, sand and stones were crushed into dust under the pressure of this breath.

""Tsk, is it broken again?" Noah looked at the long sword in his hand. As the armor color faded, the long sword in his hand had no support and broke into pieces.

"It's true……"Before he finished speaking, a blood sword suddenly burst out from Noah's chest, and a huge sword mark appeared on Noah's body. Rayleigh's true strength is comparable to Whitebeard's. The sword he slashed out seriously is not something Noah can resist now, not to mention

"Little Noah, didn't Kozuki Oden teach you what kendo is?" Rayleigh squatted beside Noah who was lying on the ground and asked seriously.

Seeing that Noah was stumped by the question, Rayleigh stood up, broke off a branch, and explained to Noah while gesturing:

"All the skills you use in battle now, including the Armament Haki, various sword moves, and even the extreme control of the Overlord Haki wrapped around the sword that you just used, are only in the scope of swordsmanship. Maybe your overall combat power is very strong. Jabba once said that you have some abilities similar to the Six Styles of the Navy and physical skills. But on the road to being a swordsman, little Noah, you haven't even started yet."

"Kozuki Oden is from a family of sword masters in Wano Country. He knows these things but doesn't know how to tell you. But little Noah, your understanding of the sword is limited to its sharpness. If you can feel the breath of all things, then, a sword can even cut through steel, but it may not be able to cut through a piece of paper."

Rayleigh threw the sword in his hand to Noah, picked up another sword, and pointed it at Noah lying on the ground.

"There is still half an hour before sunrise. Learn from life and death. If you still can't cut my sword before sunrise, little Noah, I will take your body and accept Whitebeard's revenge."

When the sun rises, the mountains are always the first to know. When the mountains on the island are illuminated by the sun, Noah on the coast is already covered with wounds, and his white hair has been cut all over the ground by Rayleigh's sword. He is dying with a broken Western sword in his hand.

"The last sword, Edward Noah. Are you ready to die?"

"If you don't want to die, cut off my sword and defeat me!"

Rayleigh stood in front of Noah, his face grim. The long sword in his hand, accompanied by a strong murderous and bloody smell, swung towards Noah's head.

At this moment, Noah felt that everything in the world had stopped.

【The war is over. Edward Noah defeated Silverbaz Rayleigh】

At noon, Whitebeard woke up from his drunkenness, pushed Roger away from his stomach, and stood up to look around. Rayleigh and Noah were lying side by side on the coast , snoring. Beside them, Rayleigh's rapier, which originally belonged to them, was broken in half, shining in the sun. Have fun reading books on May Day! Top up 100 and get 500 VIP points!
