He has slightly curved silver hair, a white beard, a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a straight scar on his right eye.

The person who appeared in front of Xia Le was none other than the former vice-captain of One Piece, Hades, Silbaz Reilly.

"I'm sorry about that!"

Staring in front of him, this tall and muscular man, whose appearance was almost indistinguishable from that of twenty years ago, Reilly's face was full of solemnity and seriousness.

Time is in a hurry, he has quickly slipped from the peak state of the year, and now his beard is gray, and he has entered his old age, and he is not as good as before in all aspects.

But the man in front of him couldn't find a trace from the other party's body, as if he was fixed in his twenties.

"What a monster!"

Rayleigh couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Only those who were familiar with Xia Le back then, or who had fought with him, could clearly feel the changes in his body.

"Twenty years."

"You're getting old, Reilly!"

Xia Le sighed and said.

The scene of the first battle between the two is still vivid in my mind. And at that time, the Hades King Reilly was domineering, with short blond hair and strong strength.

"People always get old!"

"But you guy, it seems, except!"

Reilly said lightly.

"So, did you suddenly appear here to save the Straw Hat Boys?"

Xia Le raised his eyebrows and asked.

He was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the other party.

"Let's leave some seeds for the new era!"

Reilly took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the Western sword at his waist.

"You navy, you can't go too far."

Xia Le squinted slightly when he heard this, and turned his head to glance at Luffy, who was sitting there, with his head down and an unknown voice coming out of his mouth.

The sound of the war drums was still beating, but apparently only he could hear it.

The will that sleeps in his body will wake up is something that no one knows.

"We're all getting old."

"Isn't it good to live in seclusion and retire with peace of mind?"

Xia Le shook his head and sighed.

"Or do you have the confidence to stop me?"

As the words fell, his right hand pulled out Ace from his waist.

"Now, it's not twenty years ago, when you and I first met!"

Reilly's eyes contracted, and his gaze focused on Ace: "You're right! ”

"Time flies, the vicissitudes of life, even this knife has fallen into your hands!"

Taking a slow breath, he raised his head, his gaze sharpened.

"Perhaps, now you are so strong that I can't resist it!"

"But even so, the old man still wants to stop you from doing the next mess!"

Xia Le grinned, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

"Then be prepared to die here!"

"Old man!"

Reilly laughed when he heard this.

And then in the next second.

"Sting!"

A flash of lightning struck in the void, and almost instantly, the other party was already in front of him.

The brilliant sword light came into his eyes, and time and space seemed to be cut apart at this moment, creating layers of ripples.

"So fast!"

Reilly's pupils contracted, and the long knife in his hand was raised, blocking the way.

"Dang!"

The two knives collided together, bursting into blue arcs of light, and the brilliant light illuminated everything around them.

Almost as soon as they fought, Reilly's complexion changed drastically.

"What a strong force!"

"This guy is really stronger!"

The feeling was completely different from that of twenty years ago, just the first collision, and the pressure that came, made Reilly's forehead ooze sweat.

"Why should you be reckless? Riley! ”

Xia Le smiled faintly.

Unlike his opponent, what he felt in this blow was the weakness of the opponent.

Compared to the first battle between the two, the pressure at this moment has completely disappeared.

The role seems to be reversed at this moment, and he becomes the stronger person.

"The elderly, although they are old, are not dead."

"I still want to be stronger!"

Reilly also laughed.

Xia Le shook his head, shook the long knife in his hand, changed the angle and slashed towards the opponent again.

Reilly raised his sword to meet it.

"Dang!"

A circle of ripples spread, and the lawn on the ground bent down in unison, sweeping in all directions.

Not far away, the two figures were also constantly swinging their knives, colliding quickly, feeling the impact from here, and their bodies were shocked.

Zoro took the time to turn his head, and when he saw the scene, his face changed suddenly.

"Curl your eyebrows!"

"Luffy, Robin, Chopper!"

His heart shook violently, and he was completely disturbed by this scene.

At this moment, Guina rushed with a knife, jumped and slashed condescendingly.

Sauron looked up, three knives in front of him.

"Buzz!"

The air shuddered and swept around.

"Don't be distracted in the decisive battle with me!"

"Otherwise, you will be defeated!"

Guina said in a deep voice.

Sauron gritted his teeth, the worry in his eyes clear.

"As for them, you don't have to worry!"

"I don't know why, but the teacher doesn't really do anything to them!"

Immediately after, another inaudible voice came into my ears.

"What?"

Zoro looked up in surprise and stared at Guina, trying to confirm the matter from the other party's mouth.

Guina nodded.

"Whew!"

Sauron was completely relieved at this point, and let out a long exhale, a smile on his face.

"You're weird guys!"

"You too, so is Xia Le, people can't figure out what to do at all, and they can't understand what to do."

"But in that case, let's have a good fight!"

A smile also appeared on Guina's face: "If you can't let go completely, this decisive battle, even if I win, will not have the slightest fun!" ”

"That's true!"

Zoro grinned, his eyes filled with monstrous battle intent.

Of course, he believed in Guina's words. And when Xia Le met them twice, his strange behavior was also full of suspicion.

This made him a little sure that the other party didn't have much malice.

In the next second, two pairs of warlike eyes looked at each other.

The other side.

Xia Le swung his knife again and again, powerful slashes, forcing Reilly to retreat, and the seriousness and solemnity on his face were even worse.

Time and aging can change everything.

Even the top powerhouses who were at the peak of the past, as their bodies gradually become older and their state declines, their domineering and physical strength will continue to weaken.

Maybe the explosiveness will not be too bad, but the durability is definitely a big problem, as the saying goes, strong and short.

"You seem to have underestimated your current strength, Reilly."

Xia Le sighed lightly.

"Perhaps!"

Reilly laughed.

He could feel that the power of each other party's knife was increasing in strength. By the time of the knife just now, the pressure I felt was incomparably greater.

And what made him even more frightened was that the strength of the other party, like endless, could be infinitely enhanced.

"I can give you a chance, get out of here!"

Xia Le said suddenly.

He didn't seem to want to waste time on the other party, and the drum beat in the Straw Hat Boy's body had stabilized since just now, and it seemed that he wanted to break through to the next stage, but he was never able to do it.

Undoubtedly, a stimulus is missing.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

"But for the sake of these young seeds!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!"

Reilly sighed.

After saying this, his eyes were extremely solemn and determined.

Then, his figure bounced violently, and he came to Xia Le's front in an instant, and the long knife in his hand quickly swung out.

Xia Le raised his knife and collided with the other party again.

"Then I can only take you completely!"

Said lightly, a sharp flash in his eyes.

"I don't want to waste too much time."

"So!"

In a slight breath, Xia Le's body burst out with brilliant arcs, and quickly became violent.

Reilly's expression changed slightly, and his figure quickly retreated.

Just as he retreated, a ray of lightning suddenly rushed towards his location.

"I forgot, you're still a thunderbolt fruit powerhouse!"

"Is nature the most powerful fruit?"

Muttered, Reilly gripped the hilt of his sword.

He knew very well that this was going to be an extremely difficult battle for him. The man in front of him may have surpassed Roger and reached an unprecedented realm.

Suddenly, Reilly's eyes contracted, and a touch of shock appeared on his face.

Not far ahead, the man surrounded by thunder and lightning actually changed his appearance at this moment.

A long streamer tugged around the back of his neck. Immediately afterwards, the two arms, both legs, were wrapped with streamers.

Its eyes grew colder and more ruthless, like a god on high.

At this moment, the beard quickly lengthens and extends to the waist.

"They all say that the Department of Nature is not awakened!"

"But I think that in the fruits of nature, there are real gods lurking, and I have really completed this step!"

Xia Le smiled faintly.

Between the slight tremors of his body, there was a faint sound of thunder.

"The awakening of the nature department!!"

Reilly took a deep breath, horrified in his heart.

It was the first time he had heard such a statement, and it was the first time he had seen anyone reach this point.

The awakening of the superhuman system will make the person with the ability to have the ability to affect the surrounding matter. The awakening of the animal system awakens the will within it and greatly increases the strength, speed, endurance, and recovery of the person with the ability.

What about nature? What kind of power will it give to those who are capable?

"The battle will be over soon!"

"What I'm looking forward to more than the fight between you and me!"

Speaking of this, Xia Le stopped.

His eyes fell on Luffy not far away.

Perhaps it was the traction of the awakened power, and a large amount of steam began to emerge from the young man who was sitting there at the moment, with his head down.

Its skin turned red, as if it had been scalded by boiling water.

And the beating of his heart, which only he could hear, was very close to the sound of a drum.

This may mean that Joey Boy is waking up.

"Looks like you're just in time, Reilly!"

"You will be the best medium for me to guide him out!"

Xia Le grinned.

"Bootstrapping?"

Reilly had a puzzled look on his face.

He didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"It's okay, you'll see it soon!"

"The will of 800 years ago is about to awaken!"

"But before that!"

Above Xia Le's body, a brilliant electric light erupted.

And disappear in an instant, appearing in front of Reilly.
