One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

After leaving, Ling Tian stood there with his eyes closed, and instantly entered a state of extreme concentration. His mind was highly concentrated, as if all his spiritual power was gathered in one place. In an instant, Ling Tian activated his observation Haki.

This powerful perception force was like an invisible, boundless giant net, with Ling Tian as the center, rapidly spreading to the entire Island No. 13. Wherever the power reached, it seemed that even the air trembled slightly.

As the observation Haki fully covered Island No. 13, a clear and extremely detailed picture gradually emerged in Ling Tian's mind.

Every blade of grass on the island sways gently in the breeze, every leaf sparkles with a unique luster, and every stone has its own unique texture.

As for the people on the island, whether they were farmers working hard, children playing in the streets, or pedestrians hurrying on the road, their every move, even the subtle changes in facial expressions, were all clearly presented in Ling Tian's perception.

Soon, he captured Rayleigh's location.

Rayleigh was sitting in a noisy tavern, drinking leisurely. His weather-beaten face was a little drunk, and his deep and wise eyes were now a little hazy.

The corners of Reilly's mouth curled up, and he talked excitedly with a few people around him, bragging in high spirits.

"Thinking back to the days when I was on that sea, I would kill any god I met, and any Buddha I met!" Raleigh held the wine glass high in one hand and gestured in the air with the other hand. His voice was loud and bold, as if he wanted everyone in the tavern to hear his bold words.

"Is this true? Brother Reilly, please don't fool us!" A young man next to him tilted his head and said with a half-believing and half-doubting look on his face.

His eyes showed suspicion of Rayleigh's words, but also a hint of expectation and curiosity.

"Hmph, kid, what do you know!" Upon hearing the doubt, Rayleigh glared at him fiercely, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and majesty. "When have I, Rayleigh, ever lied? I have been sailing the seas for many years, and I have seen all kinds of storms and waves. Those thrilling battles and those powerful enemies were all defeated by me!"

Rayleigh's voice became louder and louder, and his emotions became more excited, as if he had returned to those turbulent days in the past.

After knowing where Rayleigh was, Ling Tian walked towards the tavern without hesitation. His steps were firm and powerful, and each step was full of determination.

He stood tall and straight, as if with an unstoppable determination. The wind blew the corners of his clothes, but it could not shake his pace.

Soon, Ling Tian arrived at the door of the tavern. The tavern looked a bit old, the color of the walls had faded, and the sign was slightly mottled.

He stood in front of the door, paused for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and gently pushed open the somewhat old wooden door.

The door hinge made a creaking sound. This slightly harsh sound suddenly sounded in the slightly noisy pub, instantly attracting the attention of some people in the pub.

Those looks were either curious, doubtful, or vigilant, but Ling Tian didn't pay attention to them. He looked directly in the direction of Rayleigh, his eyes were firm and focused, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Then he walked over steadily, his steps steady and deliberate.

At this time, Rayleigh was bragging to those people, so he didn't notice Ling Tian's arrival. He was talking excitedly, dancing and gesticulating, completely immersed in his own story.

Ling Tian did not rush to interrupt Rayleigh, but found an empty seat nearby and sat down. He gently crossed his arms over his chest, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was enjoying a wonderful performance.

There was a gleam of interest in his eyes as he listened quietly to Rayleigh's story.

"Let me tell you, that time I was facing a notorious pirate group. They were large in number and well-equipped. But I, Rayleigh, single-handedly defeated them all!" Rayleigh took a big sip of wine, and some of it flowed down the corners of his mouth. He didn't care and continued to brag about his past.

"They think they can take me down with their numbers, but that's just wishful thinking! Who am I, Rayleigh? I've been on the sea for many years, and I've seen all kinds of scenes. Those guys were aggressive at the beginning, but when I made a move, they were scared to death!" Rayleigh's eyes widened, as if he was back in that fierce battlefield, and his voice unconsciously became much higher.

The people around him reacted differently. Some listened attentively, their eyes wide open, their mouths slightly open, as if they were brought into the fierce battle scene by Rayleigh's narration, completely immersed in it, their emotions fluctuating with Rayleigh's words, sometimes nervous, sometimes excited.

Some people showed doubtful expressions, with their brows slightly furrowed and the corners of their mouths raised, as if they did not completely believe what Reilly said, and secretly muttered in their hearts about the authenticity of the story.

But Raleigh was not affected by these people at all, and continued to talk about his heroic deeds.

"Wow, Brother Rayleigh, you are amazing!" The others echoed one after another. Their voices were full of admiration and praise, and their faces were full of worship.

"You are simply our idol. It would be great if we could be as majestic as you!" a young man said excitedly, with a longing gleam in his eyes.

Ling Tian couldn't help but find it a little funny when listening to Rayleigh's bragging.

He looked at Rayleigh's exaggerated expression and movements and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. But he also understood that this might be a way for Rayleigh to pass the time in this dull life.

Raleigh once experienced countless storms and challenges on the sea. Now in this small tavern, he recalls the passionate years by telling stories of past glory, which is also a kind of emotional sustenance.

As a person who has received nine years of compulsory education, he knows that it is wrong to interrupt others' conversations and that one should respect others' expressions and emotions.

So Ling Tian just listened silently without saying anything. He just sat there quietly, like a bystander, not participating or commenting.

He observed Rayleigh quietly, and saw a trace of reminiscence flashing in Rayleigh's eyes from time to time. It was a remembrance of the glorious past years, as if he saw himself again on the battlefield, undaunted in the face of powerful enemies.

Sometimes they are filled with excitement and their voices are even louder, as if they have returned to that passionate moment and felt the joy and glory of victory.

Time passed quietly as Rayleigh told his story. After a while, he finally seemed tired.

His voice gradually became softer and his speech slowed down. When he picked up the wine glass and was about to take another sip of wine, he suddenly noticed Ling Tian sitting next to him.
