Fanclub Dark King's Court

#1
Hey everyone!

I was lurking and found out someone actually tried to start a Rayleigh fan club back in 2022 and it just sort of died off 💀 Which honestly feels wrong. The Dark King getting ghosted is a big crime in this fandom, no joke. So let’s bring it back properly this time. The man deserves worship.


For anyone who needs a refresher, Rayleigh ain’t just that old guy with glasses. He was Roger’s right hand. The DARK KING. And even decades later he’s still out there making waves. Old man still showing up and walks away like “welp, fun spar”. He literally swam through the Calm Belt and bodied Sea Kings for cardio 😅 Who even does that? And of course, haki. If Luffy’s advanced haki has saved him in countless fights, we’ve got Rayleigh to thank for showing him the ropes. But beyond strength, he’s calm, witty, always has that cheeky smile, and he’s basically the coolest mentor figure in the whole series. He’s the bridge between legends and the new gen. Gives me chills every time Oda throws him back on panel.

Anyway, enough of me rambling. I wanna hear from you guys :

* What’s your favorite Rayleigh moment?
* Did his training with Luffy change how you saw haki?
* How do you think he stacks up against legends like Whitebeard or Shanks?
* And do you think Oda has one last big Rayleigh moment up his sleeve? 👀

Ok shutting up now. Dark King’s Court is OPEN. 🍺🍻

1. His Sabody run is legendary. Really anything from his intro, talk with the SH, or fight with Kizaru is classic. In post TS, I liked his flashbacks talking about g4 and future sight.
2.no, not really
3. Probably about equal to Shanks, weaker then WB
4.Not including this flashback, idk. Maybe he reunites with Gaban and Buggy?

He’s definitely top-tier among living legends.

I've been seeing some interesting posts about Rayleigh that lean toward the same general idea. Hopefully, it heads in that direction. It would be hype. So, I wanted to share these posts:

Teach scared of Ray and leave to the point he can't make a comeback while Ray even admit in his old age Teach can defeat him, it means Teach in someway seeing Ray's capability which so far imo in GV especially imo Eris running towards Ray which in the North side of GV if i recall. And we know now, Domi Xebec is charging towards his wife and son.
And the Rayleigh fan in me would very much like to see him bring demon Xebec to his knees thus deserving the nick name Dark King and eventually WSS titles. Mind you ≠ being able to dish it out doesn't mean being able to take it.

I think Rayleigh is very alike Zoro in that regard. Dangerous enough to make the likes of Big Mom, Kaido or Venus sweat bullets but unlike many others they are just normal humans so they can get their bones broken and what not. If Rayleigh really saved BB as a kid that could actually be the reason he left. Rayleigh said something to that effect with his reputation + quirk of fate enabling him to settle the matter peacefully.
Now he is taking his wife somewhere safe.

And who know where this developpement is heading.

Eric and blackbeard are also on the run and you dont know if oda is planning some encounter with Ray and shakky.

Also Rayleigh is the only Legend to have sucessfuly saved people
-Strawhats from kizaru
-Hancock from Blackbeard
-Shakky in God valley

All those situation, involve strenght to stop another powerhouse.
