Previously, they had gained a fairly good understanding of the situation from Kizaru's perspective!
For example, the Sabaody Archipelago incident and the Marineford War!
Although Straw Hat Luffy is quite strong, he is in a battle against several top-tier fighters.
His survival was largely due to Whitebeard and Garp!
[Kaido #2: Aokiji, you still say you haven't held back?!]
Aokiji holding back was only a fleeting moment seen from other people's perspectives!
This time, the "victims" see it very clearly!
[Jin #2: Akainu is about to make a move, but Aokiji drops his ice spikes and chooses to attack Straw Hat because he knows that Akainu will show no mercy, and Straw Hat will undoubtedly die!]
[Moria #2: I see. I was wondering why the Admiral's ice blade only pierced his shoulder at such close range!]
[No. 2 Doflamingo: Not only that, but in the end he also covered Straw Hat Luffy's escape with Kizaru. If I hadn't seen how he created a glacier that could connect two islands in an instant before the Enies Lobby incident, I would have thought that Aokiji's ice couldn't catch up with Law's submarine! Now it seems that this was to block their own pursuers!]
[Apoko #2: Good heavens! Is this a Marine Admiral covering for Straw Hat Luffy?! Because Portgas D. Ace died, they're going to such lengths to appease Garp?!]
[Hawkins #2: Is Kizaru afraid Aokiji might accidentally freeze him, so he used the Yasakani no Magatama?]
[Kid #2: What Yasakani no Magatama? It's clearly the Yasakani no Tsurugi! The shattered ice floes can still effectively intercept pursuers, and can also ensure that submarines accidentally frozen by Aokiji can be unfrozen!]
[Auntie #2: Kizaru's Observation Haki is truly impressive. He perfectly dodged so many orbs of light, even a target the size of a ship! Who would believe this is the same Admiral who could sever a key from someone's hand with a single shot amidst a massive army!]
[Rocks #2: I think I understand why that guy Rein called Shanks a "Face Fruit" user before! A single Red-Haired Pirates crew managed to stop this war!! That's some serious influence!! Did this guy join Roger's crew after I died? And now he has this much influence and power!?]
[Silver Axe #2: This red-haired brat's influence is almost comparable to Whitebeard's!]
……
After Straw Hat Luffy escaped...
Not long after, another thing happened that shocked many powerful people.
Rayleigh has returned!
[Auntie #2: Rayleigh has been quiet for so long, but this time he's made such a high-profile move for Straw Hat Luffy, and he's even reappeared at Marine Headquarters after the war!]
[Silver Axe #2: I occasionally gathered information about Rayleigh's appearances in the Sabaody Archipelago before, and I knew then that this guy was definitely not living a secluded life! Otherwise, why would he choose the Sabaody Archipelago out of so many islands on the high seas? A legendary pirate living so close to the Marine Headquarters! And it's an island that pirates must pass through on their way to the New World! No matter how you look at it, it's extraordinary!]
[Kaido #2: After Roger's death, does the Roger Pirates have some kind of mission?!]
[Wang Zhi (Number 2): Is he choosing an heir? Or protecting something? Or perhaps both?]
[John #2: What is there in the Sabaody Archipelago that is worth protecting?]
[Kid #2: What does 3D2Y mean?! It feels like the Straw Hat Pirates are deliberately showing this off!]
[Whitebeard #2: Rayleigh is actually personally instructing Straw Hat Luffy in his training? Looks like you think highly of this impulsive brat!]
[Rayleigh #2: Aren't you the same?!]
[Hawkins #2: Three days to change things, then reunite in two years?]
In Luffy's field of vision.
He later mentioned the significance of 3D2Y!
[Sengoku #2: If you dare to return to Sabaody Archipelago, I'll arrest you all!]
[Golden Lion #1: Come on, Sengoku period, who are you trying to fool?!]
[Beckman #2: This time, Luffy truly witnessed the world's top-tier fighting power and gained a clearer understanding of himself!]
[Auntie #2: With this kid's potential and Rayleigh's guidance, he'll probably experience a qualitative leap in two years!! Rayleigh used to be famous for his extremely strong Haki and swordsmanship!]
[Kid #2: Straw Hat Luffy becomes Rayleigh's apprentice!]
[Apu #2: Why am I not so lucky!]
[Capone Bege #2: Straw Hat Luffy has gained another identity! This one's a bit intimidating, isn't it? Most powerful figures probably wouldn't dare to easily attack him! He's a Marine hero, the son of the Revolutionary Army leader, a guide to the Four Emperors, someone Whitebeard valued and protected, and now he's a disciple of Rayleigh!]
[Hawkins #2: How can the difference between people be so huge?!]
[Drake #2: Rayleigh teaching the Straw Hat Pirates was definitely a crucial turning point and a turning point in his life. I wonder if we can learn anything from it too!]
[Marco #1: Such a powerful individual must have a unique understanding of Haki!]
And video number 2 did indeed slow down slightly as Rayleigh instructed Luffy.
Other top experts also had some expectations.
The understanding of domineering aura and cultivation among experts of the same level!
It can serve as a very important reference for them!
But the top experts were soon quite disappointed.
They discovered that Rayleigh's teaching of Haki to Luffy was rather basic.
There are also more advanced techniques, but they are only demonstrated to Luffy; they are not directly taught to him!
[Number 1 & 2, Golden Lion: Is this all Rayleigh teaches? Why doesn't he try teaching you his specialty, Conqueror's Haki? Even with the extremely high-level Armament Haki, he only demonstrated it a few times, without focusing on any key points!]
[Red Hair #2: Two years to teach Luffy all three types of Haki and have him master them is already quite impressive! After all, Luffy started learning Haki from scratch! And not everyone has a monster like Reinhardt!]
Luffy's strength and physical abilities hadn't fully developed yet!
There's nothing too profound to teach!
Shanks also firmly believes in Luffy's potential!
Learning Haki in the future will definitely not be a problem, even without Rayleigh teaching me!
You will definitely learn something after fighting against a powerful and domineering opponent!
Therefore, Shanks didn't teach Luffy these so-called common sense rules for the strong!
Sometimes, experiencing things firsthand is much better than being taught!
[Kaido #2: Shiki, don't tell me that Conqueror's Haki Entanglement is something you can learn so easily! Do you think you can master it after a few fights?]
As the controller of the Entanglement, Kaido had some reservations about this.
It must have taken him many years of hard work to master the fighting method of Overlord Entanglement!
Straw Hat Boy is still a complete beginner when it comes to being cool!
You think you can learn it in two years? That would make you even more monstrous than those monsters!
[Auntie #2: So, being domineering... is something that actually needs to be learned? I seem to have it naturally!]
[John #2: Don't lump us normal people together with monsters like you!]
[Kaido #2: I've always suspected that if Big Mom really trained seriously, Whitebeard might not even stand a chance!]
[Whitebeard #2: Even with a strong mentor like Rayleigh, he's still far inferior to Rein! Rein can not only clearly sense Luffy and Ace's potential at all times and make timely adjustments, but he also knows their mental health at all times. Moreover, with the Life-Life Fruit as an aid, he can ensure that they can continue high-intensity training without injuring their bodies...]
Rayleigh's teachings were good.
But compared to Rennes, there is still a considerable gap!
Moreover, the others quickly realized that Rayleigh's Haki training was a special training program specifically for Luffy!
Unlike the domineering training method previously revealed by Rein, this one is more accessible!
So everyone's attention gradually returned to video number 1.
At this point, Video 1 is also related to Rayleigh.
Sabaody Archipelago, Area 13, Aunt Xia's Extortion Bar.
"~Reinhard, the Sabaody Archipelago is so big, with so many coating craftsmen. You even have your own ports and coating craftsmen here. Why did you have to come looking for me..."
Looking rather dejected, Rayleigh looked at Renn and said with a troubled expression.
He then quietly took out his wine flask and took a sip of wine.
(Good job!) Of course it's because you're so skilled!
"..."
"Of course, it's not just because of that. Since we're passing by, I brought someone to meet you. Ace, come here..." Rein said to Ace.
Ace stared at Rayleigh, his eyes sharp. This was that man's partner?!
"Ace..." Rayleigh's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this name!
The captain's bloodline! Was it ultimately entrusted to Renne?
But what on earth is that navy uniform?!
"Ren-san, what do you mean by this?" Rayleigh's eyes darkened slightly, unsure of Ren's meaning.
“You seem to have a lot of free time. How about you take over for me for a while and teach these three little guys?” Renn asked, half-jokingly.
"Are you strong?" Ace's eyes were aggressive; there was no chance of surpassing that man!
Surpassing his peers is also a good option!
"Are you serious?" Rayleigh stared at Rein in surprise!
"What do you think?"
"Try throwing a full-power punch at me and see what happens." Rayleigh was also very curious about the captain's bloodline; how much strength had he gained now?
