"Hm?!" Reiju and Lami continued fighting each other while pausing to watch Luffy and Kizaru battle each other in the space above the city, quickly passing by them, and a tree in the distance began to shake due to the clash of their swords.

"Luffy..." Reiju commented as she followed him with some difficulty due to the speed of both.

"It seems that the Navy really came here..." Lami remarked, recalling those things they had destroyed some time ago along with Reiju knocking out that fat man with the axe.

A loud sound of a great thunderclap emerged in the distance along with other explosive sounds, as a battle seemed to have started on that side.

"They are them... our companions are fighting someone quite strong..." Lami, with a more developed observation haki, commented.

"Let's go, they seem to need help." Reiju said, and both began using geppo in that direction.

Meanwhile, in that very area, the fight intensified, as even Kong had a great deal of trouble dealing with all that pressure, receiving multiple attacks.

"You have great potential, one that I have never seen in a young crew in all my years, but at the same time, this potential worries many people and the balance of powers, your actions against the tenryuubitos also do not help, so I will do everything to take you down here." Kong declared as Zoro advanced against him, however as soon as their swords were about to touch him from an opening created by the others, Kong made a staff appear out of nowhere in his hand.

"Hm?!" Zoro immediately was surprised as his haki-coated swords struck against a strange wood also imbued with haki.

"You see... it has been a long time since I last used this weapon, so let's see if you can handle it." Kong declared, as everyone was on alert while he moved away from Zoro and began spinning the weapon, making a side slash in front of them, but he had no one within his reach, after all his staff was only 2 meters long.

However, something happened while everyone stared dazed at it, after all that staff began to expand a second later and started to get bigger as he swung it down forcefully, becoming twisted and fully imbued with Haki.

The Straw Hat crew quickly moved out of the way of it while dodging to the sides.

"He's going to hit Hachi and the others!!" Yamato quickly exclaimed, as the staff descended towards Haki running, even 1000 meters away from the fight, the staff expanded up to there while descending forcefully.

"Nee... This?" Hachi exclaimed unable to react.

"WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!" Camie grimaced.

"I shouldn't have followed that pirate!!" Bonney exclaimed crying.

However, just as it was about to touch them, someone appeared in front of them and it was none other than Rayleigh with his sword, while the ground in the path of the staff exploded, Rayleigh managed to stand firm, while none of the three behind him got hurt by it, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"So you decided to act...?" Kong commented while looking at the old enemy.

"Sorry, I simply cannot let you act against these young ones..." Rayleigh commented with a small smile, regardless of the consequences it would bring to his life.

As soon as Rayleigh gave his reply, Yamato appeared next to Kong, using his weapon. Without time to fully pull his staff back, Kong used haki while crossing his arms, making himself be struck downward, flying like a rocket while his staff began to rapidly decrease in size, returning to him as he exploded the ground with his own body.
