This is what I'm talking about. You just showed the reason why Rayleigh was able to interfere in the panel you posted
Yata no Kagami isn't instant. You can see Usopp and Brook reacting to the light as it's forming. Not to mention we see Apoo a pretimeskip Supernova react to it
Was Rayleigh supposed to stand there and watch?
Like I said, you're comparing apples to oranges

You spoke as though preventing hostage situation through guard is infinitely harder than intercepting a point blank attack when you're nowhere near the atttack just because Rayleigh's presense wasn't known. I showed you how Rayleigh did not allow a hostage situation even when Kizaru's prepared to bypass him. There are no two ways around it.
It's not like YnK is the only option Wizaru has to get near SHs. He's simply given no openings. We're not even taking into the consideration the overwhelming difference b/w Kizaru and Gunko. And this isn't even a point I am trying to use to elevate Rayleigh.
You're brining up things that I did not even complain about to make a point that has nothing to do with what I am saying. I am simply making a comparison b/w how little time/opening they have to do something and how one succeeded while the other failed in a more favorable situation.
