One Piece: Alucard the Immortal

"Oh, what an honor."

Rayleigh smiled calmly.

They had long been famous pirates throughout the Grand Line, not just its first half, but also the New World.

However, due to Roger's incurable illness, he had given up adventuring a few years ago to search for renowned doctors to treat him. He eventually found Crocus, who managed to sustain Roger for a period.

During this time of seeking treatment, Shiki the Golden Lion and Whitebeard had surpassed Roger, establishing a firm foothold in the World.

Now, the returned Roger Pirates were making a comeback, and to head to the New World, they needed a good ship.

Though Roger had only a few years left, he intended to use his remaining time to conquer the Grand Line.

Alucard had been in this world for so long that he almost forgot he was transmigrated. It was only after fighting for so long that he suddenly realized these individuals before him were members of the future Pirate King's crew.

This first mate, Silvers Rayleigh, no wonder he was so difficult to deal with.

"But unfortunately, Vice Captain, you'll die here today," Alucard chuckled. "Do you still wish to continue, heavily wounded as you are?"

"Hahahaha! Young man, you don't know your place!"

Rayleigh laughed loudly, throwing his head back. Then, lowering his head, he pointed his left thumb at his own neck, a smirk on his face. "My head is right here. If you want it, come and take it."

"Heh!"

Alucard retreated dozens of meters. Suddenly, the shadows beneath his feet formed gigantic shadow hands, reaching out for Rayleigh. Just seeing such a technique sent shivers down one's spine.

"Someone unaffected by Conqueror's Haki is truly rare, but I have more than just a few tricks."

Facing the overwhelming shadow hands, Rayleigh showed no hesitation, charging directly into them. The longsword in his hand moved at light speed, a completely different caliber from his older, weakened self who would be suppressed by Kizaru in the future.

With lightning-fast sword strikes, the shadow hands didn't even have time to regenerate before Rayleigh had already surged forward, completely outpacing them!

"As expected of the Pirate King's right hand!"

Seeing Rayleigh constantly closing in, Alucard praised him. Suddenly, his body slowly sank into the ground, denying Rayleigh a chance to attack.

"He can even hide in shadows? Hey, hey! You can't fight a fake like that!" Buggy cried out, clutching his temples as if on the verge of a breakdown.

"Shut up, Buggy! Just watch Rayleigh-san fight quietly!" Shanks, unable to stand Buggy's loud shouts, couldn't help but slap him.

"Shut your mouth, Shanks! I'll kill you someday, you bastard!" Being told to be quiet by the person he disliked most, Buggy immediately flew into a rage.

Suddenly, Alucard's head and hand emerged from Rayleigh's shadow beneath his feet. The black pistol, Jackal, was clutched in his palm. Just as Alucard's hand was about to pull the trigger, Rayleigh abruptly spun around, his blade whirling back.

Blood splattered as he instantly severed Alucard's left hand! Along with the black pistol, it was sent flying far away.

"Alright!!"

Buggy, seeing this, waved his fist and cheered loudly, "That guy isn't a Logia-type! If you just cut off his hand, he's helpless! Ahahaha!!"

"Young man, do you still want to continue?" Rayleigh asked.

CLANG!

However, Rayleigh's answer came in the form of a giant sword in Alucard's remaining right hand, a sword condensed from the regenerative power of the Blacklight Virus!

"Oh! You can summon weapons at will? You really have a lot of abilities." Rayleigh raised his sword to parry, the two blades clashing fiercely, sparks flying. "But using a sword in front of me? You're not quite up to par yet!"

Rayleigh's arm vibrated with stronger force, momentarily pushing Alucard back.

Alucard flung the giant sword away and pulled out his white pistol, Casull, from within Hidden Shadow, firing continuously!

"A continuous attack of sword and gun? Still not quite enough!"

Rayleigh plunged the tip of his sword into the ground. Suddenly, the earth beneath both their feet rumbled, and a stone wall rose up, blocking the giant sword Alucard had thrown. Bullets pierced the stone wall, but whether they hit Rayleigh's body was unknown.

WHOOSH!

In an instant, a figure shot out from the ground beneath Alucard's feet—it was Rayleigh!

'In less than three seconds, had he dug his way that far?'

"An incredible fellow!" Alucard's pupils contracted sharply.

"It's over, young man!"

In less than half a second, Rayleigh had unleashed an unknown number of sword slashes. To others, it was just a blur of countless silver flashes.

PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!

Seeing Alucard's body chopped into countless pieces of flesh, Buggy shoved all five fingers of one hand into his mouth, speaking incoherently, "Rayleigh-san... you went too far, didn't you?"

"No, that's not right," Shanks shook his head. "Rayleigh-san had to be that ruthless because if he wasn't, he wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent."

"Now... you can't regenerate, can you?"

Rayleigh exhaled a deep breath, accidentally pulling on his wound, his mouth twitching involuntarily. "Ow, ow, ow, that hurts. I'll need Crocus to take a good look at this later."

Just as Rayleigh believed the battle was truly over, Roger's expression changed. He suddenly surged forward, shielding Rayleigh from behind, and at the same time, blocked a bullet from Jackal that would have otherwise struck Rayleigh in the back of the head.
