The Power of Teach! A Hero Saves a Beauty?

"Call--"

Teach stood up unsteadily.

Blood dripped from his chin onto the ground, blooming into tiny scarlet flowers.

He was badly injured by Doflamingo and Bege.

Countless bones were broken, and his entire body was covered in blood.

But at this moment, seeing Teach's body still trembling and seemingly unable to stand, Bege suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Especially when Bege saw those bloodshot, crimson eyes, a sense of panic inexplicably welled up inside her.

Something's not right!

Bege instinctively took two steps back, then raised her voice, "Doflamingo, it seems he's finally willing to make a move! What are you waiting for?"

Meanwhile, Doflamingo lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

The sturdy stone slabs on the ground were now riddled with spiderweb-like cracks.

However, it should be said that the two years of training have not been in vain; Doflamingo is still screaming in pain and has not yet completely collapsed.

After a brief moment of confusion, he nimbly leaped up, landing in front of Bege. His smile vanished, replaced by a grave expression. "This guy... he's got real strength!"

A large lump has now formed on the back of my head, and I am in pain all over my body.

Doflamingo was already starting to have doubts.

This guy looks smaller than him, how can he be so strong?

Did we kick a hornet's nest?

However, it's probably impossible to reconcile with him now!

We had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!

Otherwise, where would I put my face?

Surely he can't be a born monster like Bullet or Abel, can he?

Besides, we're already covered in wounds, what's there to be afraid of?

Behind the sunglasses, Doflamingo's eyes revealed a resolute look; he was determined to completely subdue this guy!

Otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble later!

No matter what, this guy is Mythical Zoan Fruit user!

"Bege! Don't hold back!"

Doflamingo said in a deep voice.

What does "don't hold back" mean?

Bege cursed inwardly, "I never said I wanted to fight him!"

You bastard!

However, now is not the time to curse Doflamingo in your heart, because Teach has already taken the initiative to attack.

Despite being severely injured, he displayed astonishing agility at this moment, arriving in front of Bege almost instantly.

Was it actually coming for me?

Doflamingo, you damn bastard, you just wait!

Almost instantly, Bege's body swelled up, transforming him into a small castle, or rather, a castle man, over three meters tall!

Bege's first encounter with Doflamingo left him with a lesson he would never forget.

From that moment on, he would never again easily absorb an enemy into his body.

Small fry are fine, but if you try to take in a tough nut, you're really asking for trouble.

Therefore, he chose to transform into his strongest defensive stance!

Teach leaped up with lightning speed, his powerful punch slamming into the castle man's chest.

"Wow!"

Bege let out a scream as the castle bricks on her chest shattered with a single punch, sending her massive body flying through the air.

Doflamingo wasn't lying!

That guy is incredibly strong!

Boom!

The heavy castle-like figure fell heavily to the ground, causing the ground to tremble.

Doflamingo's pupils contracted.

This is bad!

Hand-to-hand combat doesn't seem right--

One moment he was several meters away, the next, Teach's grinning black face filled his vision!

"You want to fight? Come on!"

The obese body made a dull whistling sound as the fist slammed into his face like a cannonball!

But at least Doflamingo is a cut above Bege.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, blocking Teach's cannon-like fist.

The moment they made contact, an unimaginable, overwhelming force surged forth!

Doflamingo's expression changed drastically. That wasn't a fist at all; it was more like a direct hit from a naval cannon!

In that instant, Doflamingo seemed to hear the sound of his own bones shattering.

Are you kidding me?! How can someone be so strong?!

He was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into Bege, who was just struggling to sit up.

The two of them instantly turned into rolling gourds on the ground.

"You all deserve to die!"

Teach clenched his teeth, his eyes practically spitting fire.

The plan hadn't even started before it completely collapsed!

The future is completely unpredictable!

These two can only atone for their sins with their blood!

"No way! This guy is terrifyingly strong!"

Bege exclaimed.

Doflamingo, you bastard!

He's just keeping a low profile, why do you have to provoke him!

Are you tired of living too comfortably?

But now, reconciliation may not be so easy!

Bege's face darkened, and she grabbed Doflamingo with both hands, shoving him into her stomach. "Give it your all! I'll buy you some time!"

Doflamingo's body instantly contracted, and he was stuffed directly into the gate on Bege's stomach.

At that moment, Teach flew over and kicked Bege in the face. The powerful force turned the huge Bege into a spinning top, sending him flying about ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

Wow!

Bege screamed again.

It hurts!

It's so frustrating, is this what it means to be a gifted person?

She was clearly younger than him, but she was completely powerless against him!

However, this time Teach did not immediately give chase. He shook his head vigorously, his body trembling.

No, my body is too weak!

"An opportunity! Doflamingo!"

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Stone's mouth, but Bege was extremely excited, saying, "He's already very weak!"

"Fufufufu! Leave it to me!"

From the gate on the belly of the castle man, a small purple figure shot out and, in the next second, swelled into a purple giant far larger than Bege.

The ground trembled simply from the stomping of its heavy, enormous feet.

"Idiot! Take this!"

Accompanied by Doflamingo's maniacal laughter, a massive fist slammed directly towards Teach.

Teach suddenly looked up.

Black fur instantly grew from his body, and his body suddenly grew taller. Two fleshy lumps grew on his shoulders. In just a few breaths, Teach had entered his orc form for the first time!

What are you barking about, you dog?!

Two hands covered in jet-black fur grabbed the purple giant's heavy fist at the critical moment!

The enormous fist could no longer advance even an inch!

"What?"

Inside the stone giant, Doflamingo's expression changed drastically.

Is its power really that great?

Before he could think any further, the world spun around him, and the massive stone giant was slammed to the ground with a powerful over-the-shoulder throw by Teach.

The floor shattered instantly, and large cracks continued to spread.

Even the surrounding buildings were shaking, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

"Forehead!!"

Doflamingo grunted.

It doesn't hurt, and the integrity of the Poneglyph is still reliable!

However, the strong vibrations made him feel dizzy.

Oh, right!

Seastone!

Just like how they dealt with that officer under Golden Lion back then!

I also have Seastone!

But.

Teach, now transformed into a three-headed humanoid dog, frowned. How could it be so hard?

The all-out attack seemed to have caused no damage to this behemoth!

Since that's the case!

Teach gaped open, and the other two dog heads on his shoulders also gaped open.

Dark flames gathered from the three mouths, and in the next instant, three pillars of fire simultaneously shot onto the purple stone giant.

Bear!

In an instant, pitch-black flames spread out, turning the stone giant created by Doflamingo into a pile of black bonfires.

"Wow!"

A piercing scream instantly echoed across the surrounding area.

Bege's eyes widened, and she felt a chill run down her spine!

The Poneglyph, which should have been indestructible, is now slowly crumbling!

Although it is very slow, Teach's Hellfire does have the ability to corrode even the Poneglyph!

Doflamingo's Combination Fruit has a major weakness: if the fused substance is damaged, some of the damage will be reflected back to him.

In other words, Doflamingo was also burned by Teach's hellfire at this time.

"Hahaha!"

Teach shrugged and chuckled strangely. "How does it feel, Celestial Dragons?"

"Can you feel it? The power of D!"

Teach laughed loudly, and even more hellfire surged out, turning the area where Doflamingo was located into a sea of fire!

Right!

We can't let this guy die a quick death!

He must endure torture that most people could not bear!

Only in this way can he quell the hatred in his heart!

"Wow!"

Doflamingo's screams suddenly became even more piercing.

The extreme low temperature, combined with the terrifying corrosive power, caused him excruciating pain akin to that of Crimson Hell.

Parts of the skin on the body surface were corroded!

Bege instantly felt a bone-chilling cold.

There are physical and psychological issues!

Oh no, this is terrible!

Even with his equipment, Doflamingo couldn't withstand it, so what chance do I have!

Without any hesitation, he jumped up and ran.

Doflamingo, you made this enemy yourself, so you'll have to deal with it yourself!

But.

"Hmph, trying to escape? You'll die too!"

A jet of dark flame shot out, blasting Bege away.

When the massive castle-like figure landed, he also began to roll around on the ground.

"Help! Boss, help me!!"

Bege screamed in agony.

No matter how much he rolled around, the flames on his body continued to burn fiercely.

His defenses were utterly useless against the infernal flames; his body was being frozen and then corroded.

I'm going to die!

"Alright, Teach, that's enough."

A soft voice came from the side.

Teach, who had been wearing a bright smile, suddenly froze.

Because the dark flames that were burning fiercely on Doflamingo and Bege suddenly exploded at that moment and then vanished completely.

It's off?

How could that be!

Without his will, how could it possibly have been extinguished!

Teach turned around in surprise.

He saw Roa standing there quietly, carrying an empty bucket and a fishing rod.

"Very nice,"

Roa looked at him with admiration. "Now I'm somewhat satisfied."

While not quite to the level of Bullet and Abel, they were certainly born monsters.

Their moves and routines are completely unorthodox and lack any systematic structure, suggesting they haven't received professional training.

His ability to reach this level through sheer, unrefined growth is already a testament to his talent.

This guy wasted far too much time on Whitebeard's ship.

Otherwise, with his talent, even without the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, reaching the top of the sea wouldn't have been difficult.

Besides, hellfire is still fire after all.

Elemental abilities are no match for me!

"But, Boss, they almost killed me!"

Teach argued through gritted teeth.

"Haven't we done it yet?"

"The most important things between partners are love and peace. Don't let trivial matters affect our unity," Roa said earnestly.

These words instantly broke Teach's defenses again.

You didn't say a word when I was being beaten, but now that I've finally decided to fight back, you come out and talk about love and peace!

Don't go too far!

Roa added meaningfully, "Remember one thing, Teach: at Calamity Company, only someone who is disappointed in me should die."

"Like you just now."

Teach's pupils dilated instantly, and a sudden chill ran down his spine, whether from the sweat or the blood that had lingered.

"But don't worry,"

Roa raised the corners of his mouth, "I quite admire you the way you are now. This face is meant to match a wild personality!"

"Keep it up from now on, and don't let me down."

The terror in Teach's heart was beyond words!

Has he already had a brush with death?

Did Roa already know that he was hiding his power, and that's why he wanted to use this opportunity to force him to go all out?

If he continues to remain silent, will he really just stand by and watch these two kill him? Or will he even take matters into his own hands?

"Yes, Boss!"

Teach dared not utter another word.

He immediately lowered his head and meekly dispelled his abilities, replying respectfully.

Patience! Teach! The first step to becoming a great pirate is patience!

The plan has now completely fallen apart, so we can only take it one step at a time!

If this guy wants to see what I look like, then let him see it!

"Very good,"

Roa nodded in satisfaction, then looked down at Bege and Doflamingo lying on the ground.

As for them,

Both were badly injured by Teach's flames and had their powers deactivated, lying on the ground like dead dogs, barely clinging to life.

His eyes were filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Don't go too far with your colleagues; after all, everyone is a valuable asset to the company."

Roa said this, then paused, and continued, "But if it's healthy competition that promotes mutual progress, then it's fine."

Teach paused for a moment, then a wide smile spread across his face as he nodded emphatically. "I understand, Boss!"

So, you mean as long as you don't kill them, cripple them, or damage company property, you can retaliate however you want, right?

Hahaha! Well then, I won't hold back!

In a way, these two guys saved my life, so I should repay them even more!

Doflamingo and Bege, who were lying on the ground, also understood.

Doflamingo, you bastard! You've ruined my life!

Bege suddenly realized something.

If you're targeted by a monster like that, wouldn't you be doomed?

Otherwise?

His eyes darted around, and he already had an idea in mind.

At the same time, Doflamingo was filled with regret.

You were hiding such formidable strength, why didn't you say so earlier!

If I had known about this earlier, I would never have bothered with you, and you wouldn't have gotten beaten up! Are you a masochist?!

Is reconciliation possible now?

Doflamingo was on the verge of tears.

However, in any case, there were no real winners in this minor conflict, and all three ended up in hospital rooms.

Teach's injuries were even more severe than those of Doflamingo and Bege; he was wrapped up like a mummy.

The three of them won't be able to cause any trouble in the short term.

A few days later, they were very close to Wano Country.

While Roa was still fishing on the platform at the edge of the fleet, the large fleet rumbled past an island.

That is, at this moment.

Roa heard the sound.

Female voice.

The sound came from the shore of that small island not far away.

"Boat! That boat over there! Please save this young lady!"

Um?

Roa raised an eyebrow.

Hero saves the damsel in distress?

Sorry, I have no interest in that.

Why not go fishing!

He swung the club out with a backhand stroke.

But, in the brief interval between swings, Roa heard it again.

"I've unfortunately fallen into misfortune! Gentlemen over there! I wonder if you could send me to Wano Country?"

Um?

The keyword was triggered!

Saka!
