Sorting Battle

The battle lasted for two full days, but since it wasn't a fight to the death, several arenas ended on the first day.

In the battle between Pito and Gari naturally emerged victorious, as did Shiryu.

After all, the gap in strength between Lafitte and Pito and the two defending champions was quite obvious.

Mostima suffered a narrow defeat; the size of the ring limited his ability to perform, and coupled with Mobius's strange mental power, he was ultimately defeated by Mobius seizing the opportunity.

The battle between Enel and Hersi ended a day later, with Enel ultimately emerging victorious.

In contrast, the battles between Slada and Sarika, Wallace and Kaguya, Clemons and Mog Radon were extremely intense.

The difference in strength between them is not significant; they are relatively evenly matched, so battles without a clear advantage are more interesting.

However, the ultimate victors have already been determined: Slada, Wallace, and Mog Radon.

They successfully held onto their positions. It was a bit of a pity for Clemons, since the other two challengers, Kaguya and Sarika, had no interest in the position.

He was the only one who truly wanted to compete. Even Hersi knew her chances were slim, and her appearance this time was mainly to showcase her strength and enhance her reputation within the Night Pirates.

The two were evenly matched, but in the end Mog Radon prevailed, relying on his powerful physique and ample stamina.

Amid cheers, the Seven Demon Kings were officially born. After that, no one challenged them. There were very few people qualified to challenge for the position of the Seven Demon Kings. Teach let those who were not interested in these positions go up to increase the competition and avoid making it too boring.

But the next step, and the most crucial one, is the internal ranking of the Seven Demon Kings, which will officially begin after a day of rest.

Although Enel won, it doesn't mean he's ranked among the top seven executives of the Night Pirates.

Many members are actually no weaker than him, and some are even stronger, such as Clemons, Kaguya, and Lafitte. However, his speed and flight ability make people reluctant to fight him, giving him an invincible advantage.

If his opponent were Lafitte, Mostima, or even the sharpshooter Kos who hadn't even fired a shot, it would be extremely difficult for him to win, and he might even lose.

However, in terms of strength, Enel is not much worse. With the Plasma-Plasma Fruit and a variety of techniques, his progress is rapid thanks to his lightning-forged body, and he also possesses a monstrous physique.

Enel was absolutely confident in this. From his initial rise to becoming a major pillar of the Night Pirates, he only spent a few years. Even with the powerful abilities of the Plasma-Plasma Fruit, Enel's own potential was undeniable.

Even in battles and wars, and within the pirate crew as a whole, Enel's role is actually more significant.

In Teach's original plan, the positions of the Seven Demon Kings, the Thirteen Demon Generals, and the Seventy-two Demon Pillars would all be occupied by his key subordinates.

But he didn't expect that there were some mavericks within the organization, and that such a status would actually be a limitation for them.

This was something he hadn't considered beforehand, but the result isn't bad; the vacant positions can give more people a chance, especially some of the younger ones.

In the end, it all comes down to strength.

Teach's eyes also gleamed with surprise as he watched the members of the shelter fight.

To be honest, Teach wasn't very clear about the strength of the members under his protection over the years. He only had a slight understanding of their level, since he spent most of his time in the Night Palace.

The strength they've shown so far has truly surprised Teach, and he's quite satisfied with it.

Unlike Mostima, who is very knowledgeable about the inner workings of the Night Pirates, Teach rarely appears in public and is very mysterious to outsiders. Many members of the Night Pirates have never even seen Teach a few times.

Taking this opportunity, Teach was also able to gain a clear understanding of the strength of the members of the Night Pirates, as well as some members who were not very familiar to him but were quite strong.

Enel remained in ring number seven, making no move. He didn't want to participate in the battles against the monsters ahead, which was also his way of motivating himself, putting more pressure on himself, and facing greater challenges.

Mog Radon readily moved to ring number six and switched places with Wallace. He was not old; despite his large size, he was only twenty-one years old.

He knew that his strength was not yet comparable to those of his predecessors. He was no match for Slada, who had taught him, and the gap between them was quite significant.

Meanwhile, Gari, Shiryu, Slada, Mobius, Wallace will engage in fierce competition for first place.

Each of them was proud, and they knew each other well, so they naturally wanted to take this opportunity to compete.

Slada, in the second arena, challenged Mobius, in the first arena. Similarly, Wallace went to the third arena and challenged Gari.

This Shiryu slightly. He was a step too slow, and the opportunity was snatched away by the other two. However, he was not in a hurry. He was confident in his own strength and decided to observe the other people's battles for the time being, which would make it easier for him to deal with the situation later.

He watched from afar as his companions fought.

After a day of recovery, they were almost back to normal. Their injuries weren't serious; it was more about the depletion of their physical strength. However, thanks to their strong physiques, they quickly recovered to their peak condition by eating plenty of food.

The battle between Mobius and Slada begins.

Without saying a word, Slada, wielding a massive anchor, clashed with Mobius. The force was terrifying, but Mobius nimbly dodged.

Neither of them transformed into their complete beast form; they each employed different fighting styles depending on the situation.

However, the two had already fully entered their Human-Beast Form. Mobius's body was covered with hard, dark green snake scales, and in addition to his own head, there were seven other snake heads staring menacingly at Slada, flicking their tongues and flashing with an eerie light in their eyes.

Behind him are six snake tails, and the two that are missing are his legs. Whenever Mobius wants, he can transform into a snake-man-like form, without legs, only snake tails. However, he still prefers to move on his legs.

Mobius looks incredibly strange now; in previous battles, he would either fully transform into his beast form or only partially transform.

This was the first time he had shown his true Human-Beast Form, and it was also his strongest battle form. The sixteen twin snake children exerted an even more terrifying sense of pressure on Slada.

At this point, the effects of Mobius's mental abilities will be maximized.

He possesses eight heads, or eight consciousnesses, yet each is entirely his own. His combat abilities are also terrifying, with an unparalleled field of vision, making a sneak attack virtually impossible.

Mobius didn't dare to confront Slada head-on. Even with the powerful boost from the Mythical Zoan, he still couldn't match Slada's naturally strong physique in terms of raw power.

Dodging Slada's attack, Mobius moved with incredible speed, instantly appearing beside Slada. His six long, powerful tails swept past, lashing out at Slada like braids.

Slada instinctively held the anchor in front of him, his powerful Armament Haki covering him.

Boom!

The friction in mid-air produced intense sparks, and the first clash between the two ended there. With his agile speed, Mobius had already escaped Slada's attack range after the first strike.

Eight heads stared intently at Slada, seemingly searching for an opportunity to attack, like Hunter.

At the same time, a powerful mental force was released unrestrainedly, rushing towards Slada, giving Slada a mental shock while also trying to deprive Slada of his five senses.

But Slada was not so easy to deal with. Savage Power covered his entire body, and his dark golden pupils exuded an imperial aura, resisting Mobius's mental attack.

The mental shock will also have some effect on him. Although he is deprived of his five senses, which Slada completely ignores, his will is not that weak. He has a strong resistance to mental power and can resist the Savage Power. The pressure from the Emperor Crocodile Fruit can also weaken Mobius's mental power.

Seeing this, Mobius realized that his methods were not enough against Slada, and the only way was to confront him head-on.

Since that's the case, then let's go. As Mythical Zoan, and a top-tier Mythical Zoan user, he has never been afraid of a head-on confrontation.

A fierce battle unfolds, a contest between two monsters.

It is clear that the two have very different fighting styles. Slada fights by relying on his strength and willpower, with a limited range of movement, but his terrifying power constantly causes damage to the field.

A domineering force that retaliates with overwhelming power against any attack.

In contrast, Mobius focuses more on speed and skill, making the most of his eight heads and six tails for offense, defense, counterattack, and support.

Although it no longer possesses the enormous size of its predecessor, the power it displays is even more terrifying.

With the perfect fusion of Savage Power and Armament Haki, Slada's arms, entwined with Armament Haki, turned a dark gold. Compared to his previous fully transformed beast form, where the Haki was dispersed throughout his body and difficult to detect, it was now more concentrated and clearly visible and perceptible.

The first thing that comes to mind is Douglas Bullet, the "Devil's Descendant" who possesses a unique demonic aura and can perfectly combine it with Armament Haki.

Slada possesses similar power and is the second known to date.

Morgans had already started writing, jotting things down in his little notebook. These were important materials for the upcoming news, and he didn't want to forget them.

However, Slada is not yet able to fuse Haki with his physique like Douglas Bullet to form a temporary Armament Haki, and this is the most important area for his improvement besides increasing his strength.

The battle between Wallace and Gari was equally fierce.

Wallace has already developed the Steel-Steel Fruit to its fullest potential, possessing an incredibly strong defense, heat-resistant properties, and even emanating a suffocating aura from his entire body.

With exquisite physical skills and powerful Armament Haki, this is also a monster with almost no weaknesses.

Gari had transformed into a fiery lion, flames swirling around his Hunting Knife. As his rage grew, the fire on Gari's body burned ever brighter, its temperature and power constantly increasing.

At the same time, the rage from the Rage Fruit is only a side effect; more importantly, the boost to Gari's strength comes from the rage itself. The angrier Gar is, the stronger the increase in his power.

Gari's rage is now perfectly controlled at a threshold; if it breaks through that threshold, Gari's Moon Lion Form will be activated.

The intense battle is a contest of physical skills and strength, interspersed with subtle techniques.

Both fighters have distinct fighting styles. Although Wallace is skilled in physical combat and his high-temperature attacks combined with the Molten Steel are terrifying, he mainly focuses on defense, especially when facing strong opponents. He prefers to use defense as offense, looking for opportunities to attack while defending.

Just like his personality, he is very calm and composed, which is also influenced by his Devil Fruit ability. His fighting style, formed early on, has continued to this day.

However, once he launches an attack, Wallace becomes incredibly formidable. In the war against the Whitebeard Pirates, countless members of the Whitebeard Pirates died at his hands.

If Wallace was a shield with barbs, then Gari was a sharp spear, a perfect burst of speed and power, attacking like a cheetah, his Hunting Knife and steel claws constantly assaulting Wallace, only to be blocked by Wallace's fists or body.

The dreaded high temperatures of Wallace had no effect on him.

Similarly, his flames had little effect on Wallace.

"He's already this strong!" Looking at Gari on the ring, Lubite below couldn't help but sigh. As a former comrade-in-arms, he knew Gari's strength.

At that time, the young Gari was already very powerful, with terrifying explosive power. When he cooperated with him, he easily assassinated Vice Admiral- level fighter with a surprise attack. His combat strength was already stronger than Garr's, after all, he also had the ability to transform and Devil Fruit.

With its formidable strength, it was even able to hold off Marine Admiral Kuzan.

With his current insight, Gari has no doubt that he now possesses strength comparable to top-tier combatants.

Gari hasn't even used his full strength yet; he hasn't even used his signature Moon Lion Form, nor has he made any further use of the Rage Fruit.

Teach was also watching Wallace's fight with Gari. Gari was someone he had always thought highly of, with great potential and perfectly developed aptitude.

His basic combat strength alone is enough to suppress those elite Vice Admiral of the Navy, making him Admiral Candidate level fighter. When combined with his Devil Fruit ability and Moon Lion Form, Gari's combat power will multiply to a terrifying level, enabling him to contend with top-tier fighters.

In the future, possessing Admiral- level physique will be no problem at all; it won't require several years of accumulation, even with increased potential and the tempering of gravity.

Wallace's strength alone is no match for Gari's full power; even with his strong defense, he would still be suppressed.

Wallace must have known this too, and Gari's only weakness was that such bursts of energy consumed a lot of his stamina and could not be sustained for long.

Wallace, with his monstrous physique honed over many years, was not much weaker than Gari, and combined with his own steel body, he was truly powerful and terrifying.

Teach knew that Wallace also had his own trump card; after years of development, his Steel-Steel Fruit had successfully Awakening.

Once used, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Gari. The Awakening of the Paramecia, in addition to amplifying one's own abilities, also has the more important ability to assimilate the surrounding environment and form a unique domain.

Therefore, even he dared not predict the final outcome.
