Upon hearing this, everyone on the other end of the Den Den Mushi couldn't sit still.
Miguel, seemingly sensing the unusual atmosphere, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He didn't rush to speak, but instead paused deliberately.
"Oh? Defeating Straw Hat Luffy, with a bounty of 300 million, isn't the climax?" Yamakaji's curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
"What happened next?"
Gion leaned in, eager to know just how impressive Renji's performance was.
Tokikake, on the other hand, impatiently said, "Hurry up and speak! Why are you being so coy?"
Miguel continued, "Renji completely crushed the Straw Hat Pirates, not just physically, but also psychologically. Then, as Renji was about to behead Luffy on the spot, an unexpected figure appeared."
"Who? Do they have an accomplice?" Yamakaji asked, puzzled.
Tokikake also couldn't help but be curious.
Gion's delicate brows furrowed. Which insensitive fellow dared to ruin Renji's good deed at this moment?
Koby listened intently.
Based on the Den Den Mushi's changing expression, Miguel could guess the reactions of everyone on the other end.
Feeling a slight sense of triumph, he then said, word for word, "Pluton... Silvers Rayleigh."
"..."
The conversation fell silent. Miguel looked at the Den Den Mushi's increasingly wide-open mouth and smiled slightly.
"Silvers Rayleigh? Are you sure?! The right-hand man of Pirate King Roger, Rayleigh!?" Yamakaji was somewhat uncertain, his voice trembling.
In Gion's eyes, a deep sense of solemnity and worry emerged. That living legend actually made a move at this juncture.
Wouldn't Renji be in great danger?
Tokikake's expression was also solemn. If he was put against Rayleigh, even he wouldn't dare to claim certain victory.
In his opinion, Renji provoking such a person probably meant he was already done for. He would soon hear of Renji's death.
How should he comfort Gion?
Koby tried hard to suppress the joy in his expression. Although he didn't know why Rayleigh would help Luffy, it no longer mattered.
What mattered was that Renji couldn't possibly be Rayleigh's opponent. He wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move. In other words, Renji was going to die.
Gion anxiously asked, "What's the situation? Keep going."
Miguel chuckled. "Please rest assured, Vice Admiral Gion, Renji didn't lose a single hair during this operation."
Upon hearing this, Koby was somewhat taken aback.
What did that mean? Was Renji directly evaporated?
The others also looked puzzled, and then Miguel's next sentence answered their confusion.
"Renji first blocked Rayleigh's sneak attack with astonishing reflexes, and then, during a brief exchange, he made Rayleigh spit blood."
"..."
"Hiss...!"
"What did you say?! He made Silvers Rayleigh spit blood? How is that possible? Are you sure that person was really Silvers Rayleigh?" Tokikake roared.
In fact, he had once witnessed Rayleigh's strength. It's no exaggeration to say that if he had met Rayleigh at 18, he would have been completely crushed by the opponent with a single finger.
Miguel added, "That person was holding a famous sword, had silver hair, and a scar over his eye. He later fought Admiral Kizaru, who arrived, to a standstill. There's no mistake."
"What! Thi... This is simply..." Tokikake was speechless upon hearing this, and he involuntarily took a step back.
Gion's lips parted, clearly not expecting Renji to be so valiant.
Koby's face was ashen. He didn't understand why, in just the few days he had spent cleaning toilets, the gap between him and Renji had become so vast. It was like an unbridgeable chasm.
"Hahahaha! Renji... Good boy, I need to call Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Everyone, let's talk another time, please go back for now."
Yamakaji burst into laughter, overwhelmed by the sudden good news, then his expression became serious and earnest.
"No, for this matter, I must personally go and see Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
...
On the azure sea, a massive Marine ship sailed swiftly forward.
Renji stood on the deck, the sea breeze gently blowing his black hair, and the azure in his eyes seemed to overlook the entire blue ocean.
"The gains this time are extremely good." Renji's lips curved.
Now, even without using all his abilities, he had the power to fight against an elite Vice Admiral of the Headquarters.
[King of Curses (Lv. 1)]
Cursed Energy output increased by 50%
Cursed Energy attacks carry a curse effect (Healing reduced by 50%, pain increased by 200%)
Comprehend the core of Cursed Energy
Along with King of Curses, even Purple, Cleave, Divine Flame, and Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine.
Although all skill levels are currently Lv. 1, their power is already not to be underestimated.
For example, Purple's power is three times the combination of Blue and Red. If it's level continues to increase, the multiplier will grow exponentially.
However, the bounty points required is quite terrifying.
The maximum output of Red alone could injure Rayleigh and simultaneously blast apart two giant trees in Shambles. Multiplying that power by three, the scene...
The reason Admirals are called monsters is because of their destructive power, which is like a natural disaster to ordinary people.
Just like Kizaru's move, Light Speed Kick, one kick for each Supernova, one kick to break a giant tree—this is the top-tier combat performance on this vast sea.
And now, Renji also possesses this level of destructive power. In other words, to some extent, he is already qualified to contend with the top powerhouses on this vast sea.
However, in terms of physical combat, he urgently needs to improve, and the simultaneous improvement of swordsmanship and Sukuna's techniques is also imminent.
With Heavenly Six Eyes' enhancement, his speed is acceptable in the short term.
Renji is currently like a squishy, high-speed moving archmage. His destructive power is sufficient, but he might encounter high-burst attacks.
The current Infinity might not be able to hold up against Conqueror's Haki coating of top powerhouses.
"Physical combat, huh..." Renji muttered to himself.
A tall, yellow-striped figure slowly approached.
"Yo! Renji, you're here. The Warlord Meeting is about to begin. Fleet Admiral Sengoku asked me if you'd be willing to attend?"
