Within the expansive universe of “One Piece,” both the anime and manga have delivered a plethora of thrilling battles that captivate audiences. Among these, a standout moment from the Elbaph Arc features the formidable Silvers Rayleigh in a clash that left fans buzzing.
Silvers Rayleigh, a character known for his remarkable strength and cunning, faced off against Saint Sommers during the God Valley Incident. Saint Sommers, dubbed the Knight of God, has earned the ire of fans with his villainous actions, though he may not wield the same level of destruction as Imu. His mistreatment of beloved characters made him a prime target for retribution.
In a dramatic encounter, Rayleigh intervened just in time to prevent a potentially lethal showdown between Sommers and Shakky. The ensuing battle was fierce yet swift, culminating in Sommers’ decisive defeat. This moment, though brief, remains one of the most satisfying victories in the final saga of “One Piece,” showcasing Rayleigh’s prowess and delivering justice in a heartbeat.
Of all the characters introduced in One Piece’s Elbaph Arc, none have been more beatable than Saint Sommers. The Knight of God might not cause as much widespread damage as Imu, but his terrible treatment of the series’ heroes has made him a target among fans — as well as Silvers Rayleigh.
Rayleigh crosses blades with Sommers during the God Valley Incident, interrupting what would have likely been a fatal confrontation between Sommers and Shakky. Although their battle, which results in Sommers’ resounding defeat, is over in the blink of an eye, it was one of the most cathartic beatdowns in One Piece’s final saga.

Sentomaru vs kizaru
The One Piece anime aired Egghead Part 2 throughout most of 2025, and during this time, it aired some of the most spectacular fights in franchise history. However, one easy to miss clahs that deserves more credit is the quick duel between Sentomaru and Kizaru in One Piece Episode 1125.
