Rayleigh was about to dodge when he suddenly paused, instinctively looking towards the sea surface above the island.
Bang!
That kick landed squarely on Rayleigh's ribs, sending him staggering.
"Hit!"
The boy ripped off the blindfold, grinning, "Rayleigh, I hit him!"
"Luffy, get out of the way!!"
Rayleigh, ignoring the pain in his waist, grabbed Luffy's hand and lunged to the side.
Boom!!!
On the sea, the slash was like a whirlwind. As Rayleigh and Luffy lunged away, the slash cut through the sea and struck the island's coastline.
The entire island reacted as if to an earthquake at that moment.
The island's coastline was sliced open like tofu, extending deep into the island, passing directly where Rayleigh and Luffy had been, and crashing into a mountain behind them, splitting the mountain in half before the slash finally stopped.
"W-what's wrong?"
Luffy rubbed his head and got up from the ground. Before he could finish speaking, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
A huge gap appeared on the island, stretching from the coast all the way to this side, looking like an irregular cake that had been cut off.
Seawater kept pouring into the incision.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes shining. "That's incredible!"
"The feeling of this slash..."
Rayleigh's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously looked at the sea, but there was nothing there; the figure of the man he had expected did not appear.
What happened?
Why did that man deliver the slash?
Didn't Shakky send a telegram saying he was stationed in Sabaody?
Have they been spotted?
No, that's not right. If that were the case, given his personality, he wouldn't announce his arrival with a slash; he would come straight up and grab people.
Seeing that no warships had yet appeared on the sea, Rayleigh muttered uncertainly, "Warning?"
This man's imposing presence is far greater than when we first met in Chambord.
He turned to look at Luffy, whose eyes were shining as if he'd spotted some amazing toy, and who was yelling and shouting at the cut. He gave a wry smile: "Six months to go, how are you going to set sail...?"
