Each person only gets one chance to play. The number of officers in these powerful pirate crews is limited. Apart from the strongest ones, most of the remaining pirates have bounties between 20 million and 40 million Beli.

The weaker pirates can be left at the back; once the powerful pirates in front defeat Wallace, they can easily win.

Things always take unexpected turns, but after the previous battle, Wallace was in poor condition; his breathing was heavy, and his arms hung limply at his sides.

He gulped down water and regulated his breathing, trying to quickly recover his strength within the short half hour.

Wallace has been fighting for a day now, and it's already the second day.

Many people saw Wallace in this state and couldn't help but feel excited, especially the pirates who were about to fight Wallace. They were also a little anxious, seeing Wallace resting and recovering his strength. Wallace's tenacity was undeniable.

"It looks like he's about to die," Baccarat said, looking at Wallace was resting.

"Heh, let's see his final limit. This experience is invaluable and will greatly help his growth." Teach leaned against the side, his right hand gripping the small sword at his neck.

The break time was far from enough for Wallace, but time always flies by, and the next challenger excitedly jumped up.

One battle, two Wallace, and then ten more. In order to get more rest, Wallace directly conceded defeat to four of the stronger pirates.

The pirates around them looked rather grim. With so many powerful men under their command, they had thought they could at least take away most of the Beli, but they hadn't even reached half. They had only won 110 million Beli, and even with the last battle, they only had 120 million Beli left.

This further highlights their incompetence; they couldn't even defeat a young pirate.

However, they still held some respect for Wallace, a respect for the strong. Wallace's strength had earned their recognition in this world where the strong were revered.

Wallace could barely stand; sweat soaked his body, and his slightly long hair hung down from his forehead. He was completely exhausted, his body had reached its limit, or rather, it had long since reached its limit. However, during the rest period after the victory, he managed to squeeze out some more energy.

With only one final battle remaining, Wallace could concede at any time, thus retaining 180 million Beli, which already satisfied his needs.

He persevered through battle after battle, his whole body aching, but he still wanted to challenge himself.

After eating a little food and drinking some water, half an hour passed quickly. Wallace stood on the battlefield, waiting for the final challenger.

Suddenly, Wallace's expression changed. From the Simon Pirates' ranks, Captain Simon stood up from his seat, a smile on his face, and slowly walked towards Wallace.

"Simon, what are you doing? There are rules that captains can't participate." One of the pirates shouted at Simon, his face grim. Simon had broken the rules, and the captains of the other pirate crews around him stared at Simon with hostility. They had all agreed to the duel terms and signed the agreement. Simon's actions were a slap in the face to them, offending them all.

"Haha, how could that be? I just handed over the captain's position to my first mate, so I'm not the captain now, and naturally I'm still eligible to participate." Simon laughed cruelly, quite pleased with himself.

"You!" How could they believe that Simon would give up the captain's position? They all knew perfectly well whether he was really giving it up or not, but they never expected that Simon would go to such lengths to kill Wallace.

However, some people understand Simon's actions. They have already seen Wallace's potential and strength, and they can nip him in the bud before he grows up. Moreover, it was Wallace who took away Simon's championship, causing Simon to lose the 300 million Beli prize. This is from the perspective of the Simon Pirates.

Some people believe Simon went too far. They argue that victory in a competition is based on merit, and Wallace's championship was due to Wallace skill. They think Simon was being petty, and that the rules of the duel had already been set, which Simon broke. That's Simon's problem. These people's opinions are valid only if they stand in Wallace or remain neutral.

Seeing Simon climb up, Wallace's face turned extremely ugly. "I admit..." Before he could finish speaking, Simon rushed in front of Wallace. "Sorry, I refuse." Simon smiled cruelly, raising his leg and using the force of the impact to deliver a knee strike to Wallace's abdomen. The powerful force left Wallace with no strength to resist. Feeling the immense pain in his abdomen, Wallace gritted his teeth, his eyes wide, and instinctively used his abilities.

However, under Simon's immense strength, Wallace's body was still sent flying backward, soaring more than twenty meters.

"Haha, I told you, if you die, all your Beli will be mine." Simon walked slowly to Wallace, reached out and grabbed Wallace's hair. With his strong, muscular arm, Wallace was powerless to resist and was lifted up by Simon.

Wallace was powerless to resist. The difference in strength between him and Simon was too great, and he was no match for Simon at all. Moreover, after so many battles, Wallace's body had long since reached its limit.

He grabbed Wallace's hair with one hand and Wallace arm with the other.

Simon gripped Wallace's arm tightly, his immense strength pulling Wallace's body up. With a quick turn, Simon sent Wallace flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

Even though Wallace's body had turned into steel, the powerful recoil still severely injured him.

The surrounding pirates looked at Wallace with some regret. Simon had taken matters into his own hands, and Wallace's fate was sealed. They had no intention of helping Wallace, as doing so would offend Simon.

Having suffered successive blows, Wallace was no longer able to resist. He coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking at Wallace's demeanor, Simon couldn't help but recall Wallace's arrogant behavior after escaping from his ship, and felt a surge of satisfaction.

He desperately wanted to hear Wallace's screams again, but everyone around him was watching. He had already broken the rules, and he could no longer stay on this island. Staying would only invite resistance from other pirate crews. He had to kill Wallace directly and eliminate any future trouble.

"Hey, Wallace, my captain has his eye on you. Want to join our pirate crew? If you agree, we'll take care of Simon for you." At that moment, a voice came from above, and everyone's gaze shifted to an area on the next level.

Hearing the noise, the surrounding pirates moved to either side, leaving Teach and his crew with plenty of space.

In such an obvious place, they could clearly see that it was a red-haired girl wearing a dress, looking down with a smile on her face.

This is a four-person group: two girls, one boy, and one Mink Tribe.

Teach also somewhat surprised, not expecting Baccarat to act this way, so directly.

The others were stunned, even finding it somewhat laughable. They thought they could defeat Simon? What were they joking about? Looking at their figures and faces, they tried to recall the images of Great Pirate, but none of them matched. In other words, these four were just nobodys, yet they dared to make such boastful claims.

Simon, who had intended to kill Wallace, was stunned for a moment, then filled with rage. Looking at these nameless pirates, Simon roared, "Are you courting death?"

Baccarat ignored the reactions of the others and Simon's words, looking at Wallace lying on the ground with some anticipation.

Although Wallace was severely injured, he was still conscious. His gaze was directed towards Baccarat, but he didn't recognize the woman. Then, his pupils contracted as he saw Teach's body, the mysterious man who had knocked all the pirates unconscious in an instant.

Upon hearing the woman's words, Wallace realized that Teach had taken a liking to him and wanted him to join them.

But could they handle Simon, could they handle the Simon Pirates? He knew nothing about their strength, but somehow, he had a feeling that he could trust them.

Moreover, he had no other choice now; he had no power to resist Simon.

Teach nodded slightly, which Teach and Baccarat could see. "Haha, Captain, he agreed. You can make your move now, right?" Baccarat was a little excited. She wanted to see Teach's strength. Although she knew Teach was strong and trained regularly, she had never actually seen Teach fight before.

Unlike Baccarat, Gari had never seen Teach in action, but he had witnessed Mostima's strength. Even a powerful figure like Mostima had submitted to Teach. How much strength could this Teach, whom he could handle, possibly reveal? Therefore, he had little interest.

"Hehe, let's go then. It's good to stretch our legs once in a while." Teach leaped down from the previous level and landed in the dueling arena.

Wallace has gained his approval and has now agreed to join the pirate crew. What reason does he have not to take action? It's against the rules here, so just break them. Besides, Simon has already broken the rules first.

All eyes were on Teach, who was wearing a black pirate coat, a tricorn hat, and a large sword on his back. He looked somewhat ordinary, but it was clear that he was a young pirate.

"What a joke! Who came from who knows where? Daring to jump out like that, then die!" Simon looked at Teach, who had jumped directly in front of him. This nobody dared to provoke him. Judging from Teach's words, he could easily deal with him. These words completely enraged Simon. His fists clenched so tightly that his bones cracked.

Those pirates who had dealt with Simon before knew that Simon was truly angry and was going to use his full strength. In his previous battle with Wallace, Simon hadn't used his full power because Wallace was too weak for him, and he couldn't force him to use his full strength.

It's important to understand that a bounty of 100 million is a watershed moment. Only pirates who pose a threat to the Navy have bounties exceeding 100 million. Simon's ability to plunder a warship directly in the Grand Line demonstrates Simon strength. In the first half of the Grand Line, he was already considered a top-tier pirate, qualified to enter the New World.

However, he knew the horrors of the New World and was not yet fully prepared; he still needed to accumulate strength.

Abandoning Wallace, Simon unleashed a powerful burst of speed, charging directly towards Teach. His speed was so great that many failed to catch Simon movements. Looking at Teach, who seemed still unaware of what was happening, Teach remained motionless, knowing Teach was doomed. Enraged, Simon would die without even knowing how.

The powerful punch that broke through the wind swung straight at Teach's head, as if it would blow Teach's head off in the next moment.

Seeing this, Baccarat, though somewhat confident in Teach, was still a little nervous. "Hurry up and do it! What are you doing?"

Gari Pito showed no sign of tension and remained completely calm.

Wallace's body writhed involuntarily, as if trying to stand up.

The next moment, the entire arena fell silent. Wallace froze. What had he seen? The pirates around him stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape in disbelief. Even the powerful pirates with bounties of over a hundred million or close to a hundred million were incredulous.

Simon's full-force punch, which they had to be on high alert for, was easily caught by someone!

With a faint smile on his face, Teach raised his left hand and tightly grasped Simon's fist, his body remaining completely still, as if the punch had landed on cotton.

Simon gritted his teeth, making a punching motion, wanting to defeat Teach in front of him with one punch, but he couldn't do it.

Unable to advance an inch, like an iron wall, Simon had already exerted all his strength; the veins on his bare arms bulged, and his entire face and neck were flushed red.

Teach looked at him and couldn't help but laugh. His voice rang in Simon's ears, "Since you've already made your move, then take my punch next." Teach's words made Simon's expression change. Not only him, but also the pirates around him could see that this person's strength was terrifying, and Simon was no match for him at all.

With a deafening "boom!", the air exploded in their ears. They didn't even see when Teach made his move. All they saw Teach maintaining his punching motion, and it was as if the air was being compressed and distorted. The next moment, Simon's figure vanished completely.

I couldn't help but turn my head. On the rock wall behind the auditorium, smoke and dust were everywhere. After a long time, it gradually dissipated, and a large pit with a diameter of five meters appeared in the hard rock wall. Simon's figure appeared, with the word "big" appearing on his whole body, and then embedded on the rock wall. Pieces of tiny gravel fell, which was very crisp. There was silence all around. Everyone was shocked by this scene.

Simon's eyes were lifeless, blood was flowing from his mouth, and his entire chest, where Teach had punched him, was completely caved in.

The members of the Simon Pirates were stunned. Their captain, whom they had always considered invincible, had been defeated and instantly killed.

"Wow, so powerful." Wallace watched this scene, his heart skipped a beat, feeling inexplicably excited and expectant. Had he finally boarded his ship?

Baccarat's delicate face opened her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out. A pirate with a bounty of over 100 million was instantly killed by Teach? At this moment, her mind went blank.

Teach left, taking Wallace with him. Wallace took the $190 million, leaving the remaining $110 million in the dueling arena because he had conceded defeat.

They only realized what had happened when Teach and the others left Hannibal, but they remained silent for a long time, staring at Simon hanging on the rock wall, already dead, killed with a single punch.

Many pirates' worldviews are crumbling. This terrifying punch fills them with fear. That unparalleled power... there really is such a strong person on the sea!

Many pirates memorized Teach's appearance, engraving it deeply in their minds, along with Teach's crew. They believed that a man like Teach couldn't remain unknown forever; he would eventually become famous throughout the seas.
