Roger vs. Whitebeard: The Great Battle Begins

"Pops, it's the Roger Pirates." Teach, having already sensed the powerful auras from the other side of the island, stood beside his Pops and smiled.

"Yes, I felt it too." Whitebeard nodded. He felt it too. It had been many years since he had seen Roger, but he recognized Roger's familiar aura very clearly. Seeing Roger's presence, he was excited. Roger must have become stronger, and he himself had become much stronger as well.

"The Roger Pirates, the Great Pirate who are on par with Big Brother?" Hearing Whitebeard and Teach's conversation, the other members were on high alert. They knew how powerful the Roger Pirates were. Oden, on the other hand, excitedly ran towards the other side of the island, and the crew behind him gave chase.

"We can't let them beat us to it!" Oden laughed loudly.

"Oden, slow down!" shouted several crew members behind him, unable to keep up with Oden's pace.

"Just steal the treasure, right? Haha," Oden replied, his eyes gleaming.

"This time is different from usual, the Roger Pirates are not to be trifled with!" The members of the Second Division chased after him, panting, trying to make Oden stop.

Oden's mind was solely focused on his powerful opponent, and he ran even faster. Watching Oden's figure recede into the distance, the members of the Second Division sighed helplessly, "He wasn't listening at all."

The crew members behind them caught up. "Where's Oden?" Whitebeard asked when he saw them.

"The captain has already run far ahead; we can't catch him at all," the two crew members replied, looking at their Pops.

Hearing their words, Whitebeard frowned. "Oden is no match for Roger. I'll go after him." With that, Whitebeard took a big leap, jumped onto a tree, and then jumped towards another tree.

Oden, however, had already run far ahead, Luffy all the way to the other side of the island in no time.

Knowing that the Whitebeard Pirates were on the other side of the island, the members of the Roger Pirates were already waiting. They could sense Oden charging towards them from afar. Three members of the Roger Pirates drew their weapons and stood in front, watching Oden rush towards them.

Oden smiled, drew his twin swords from his waist, and assumed a fighting stance. "Spear - Demon Pseudo-Sword!"

With explosive power and incredible speed, Oden swiftly passed the Roger Pirates with his twin swords, imbued with Haki, moving at high speed. Two golden lights flashed, and the three pirates fell to the ground without any resistance, as if pierced by spears.

Behind them, watching Oden straight at them and easily defeat his companion, Gaban, the ship's pillar, wielded two axes and smiled with excitement.

Rayleigh's expression turned solemn as he instantly drew his sword from his waist, the silver blade gleaming.

Ready for battle, Gaban said to Rayleigh with a smile, "He's as strong as the rumors say. Let's stop him as soon as possible, Rayleigh!" He kept a close eye on Oden.

"Let's do it that way," Rayleigh replied.

Just as the two were about to make their move, a voice rang out, "Wait a minute, Gaban, Rayleigh." Hearing this voice, they turned their heads.

"I can't let you guys get hurt!" Roger said with a smile as he ran over, stepping between them and heading towards Oden was charging towards him.

"He just wants to fight, doesn't he?" Rayleigh called out as he watched Roger run off.

Oden and Roger faced each other, charging towards one another. Watching Roger rush towards him, Oden could sense the terrifying aura emanating from Roger, but it was precisely this that excited him. He muttered excitedly to himself, "The aura of a beast."

"Hello, samurai." Roger greeted Oden with a smile. The two were about to meet, getting closer and closer. Roger placed his right hand on his waist and drew his sword to strike.

"Kamunabi!" Even a god would have to dodge this attack. This slash was too fast. True to its name, the black slash, covered in the Conqueror's Haki, was surrounded by red light. Invisible Oden flashed by. Before Oden could react, the slash had already struck him.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his hands gripping the knife, and under the force of the impact, his body arched and flew helplessly backward.

Cold sweat broke out on Oden's brow as he flew more than three hundred meters backward, crashing through six giant trees with diameters exceeding ten meters before finally landing on a giant plant, creating a large crater in which Oden's body sank.

"What just happened?" Oden exclaimed in astonishment, struggling as he fell from the crater, landing on the ground before regaining his footing.

That slash was too fast; Oden couldn't react at all and was hit without even knowing how he was defeated.

"Damn it, I can't accept this!" Oden shouted angrily, his face filled with resentment. How could he accept such a defeat? He ran towards Roger again, wanting to fight Roger one more time.

Suddenly, Oden sensed a powerful and familiar aura. He looked up in surprise as a figure leaped across the sky – it was Whitebeard, who quickly overtook him.

Whitebeard leaped onto a tree, and with a powerful bound, jumped a hundred meters, falling from the sky towards Roger.

"Has he arrived? Whitebeard." Roger looked up at Whitebeard in the sky and smiled expectantly.

Whitebeard held the Murakumogiri, his powerful Armament Haki covering the entire blade and turning it black. At the same time, Conqueror's Haki swirled around him, and red Inazuma flashed continuously through the air.

Faced with this powerful aura, Roger was on high alert. His pupils instantly turned crimson, and Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki swirled around him. Black and red Inazuma erupted from his body.

He took a slight step forward with his left foot, causing the earth to crack. He laughed loudly as he looked at the Whitebeard, holding his sword in both hands and swinging it towards the sky with all his might.

Their attacks collided instantly, and then the world changed color, the sky suddenly darkened, and only Roger and Whitebeard shone brightly, with dark red Inazuma constantly colliding in the void.

The earth shook violently, and huge rocks rose and fell from the ground all around, changing the landscape as if the earth's crust was trembling. The powerful air currents generated by the collision spread outwards, blowing away trees that were deeply rooted in the ground. Oden stuck his sword into the rock, used one hand to block the air currents blowing in front of him, and squinted at the collision in the distance.

"I didn't even bump into it," Oden muttered to himself, surprised and puzzled.

Meanwhile, atop an ancient tree, Teach watched the clash between Roger and Pops, a clash between the pinnacle of power in this world.

He saw it too; his Pops's knife and Roger's knife never actually touched, but between the two blades, Teach felt a terrifying power—a collision of force fields and a clash between strikes.

The power of the Pops -Tremor-Tremor Fruit clashed with Roger's powerful Sword Qi in a single strike.

Therefore, an invisible pressure field was formed between the two, which continued to spread outwards, causing changes in the surrounding landscape.

However, Teach was most interested in was the two's use of Conqueror's Haki. After Awakening Conqueror's Haki, Teach had used it a few times, trying to figure out how to use it on his own. However, compared to these two, both the intensity of his Conqueror's Haki and the precision of his application were far inferior. This was Teach wanted to learn from them.

Observation Haki unleashed his Observation Haki to its fullest extent, as if observing it up close. That solidified Haki was harder than steel. The force field over there was too strong; it seemed as if Teach's Observation Haki was being driven away. Teach released his Observation Haki with all his might to resist the powerful force field impact from the two.

Whitebeard and Roger naturally sensed Teach's Observation Haki as well. Roger was somewhat surprised that a member of Whitebeard's crew possessed such powerful Observation Haki. Whitebeard, however, was not surprised, as he knew Teach had extremely strong Observation Haki; Teach had discovered Roger Pirates before him back on the island.

"Ugh!" Whitebeard cried out, his eyes widening as he stood on the ground, gripping his greatsword tightly in his arms. His taut muscles pressed down on Roger with great force, and his long golden hair billowed behind him.

Roger, too, with veins bulging on his brow, held his knife in both hands and took another step towards Whitebeard.

"Roger!"

"Newgate!"

Teach inwardly cursed, for he could feel the power generated by the attack between the two compressing further, then expanding to its limit, and finally exploding—a power that terrified him.

He vanished from his spot in an instant, running towards the distance of the battlefield.

In an instant, terrifying power erupted, releasing a terrifying black and red force. The surrounding ground sank, and the terrifying explosion caused the clouds gathered in the sky to burst open and spread in all directions, instantly brightening the sky.

Compared to the airflow generated by the previous collision, the airflow generated by the explosion was far more terrifying, spreading wildly in all directions. Trees collapsed or bent at sixty degrees, and the massive Moby Dick tilted at forty-five degrees as a result.

As this power erupted, Teach suddenly appeared beside Pito, reached out and hugged her tightly, grabbed Wos's shoulder with his other hand, and kicked Mobius in the stomach with one foot.

Before Mobius could react, he crashed into a boulder. Teach controlled his strength perfectly, and Mobius landed behind the boulder. Just as he was about to speak, a deafening explosion was heard, followed by a terrifying gust of wind that swept in from another direction, lifting many pirates into the sky.

"What, what's going on?" Mobius forgot the pain of being kicked by Teach and stared in shock at the sky, which then exploded in an instant.

"That was Roger colliding with Pops. If it weren't for me, you would have been swept into the sea." Teach said to Mobius, then put down Pito and Wos, whom he was holding. Teach had his back to the impact and had been shielded from it, so they were unharmed?

"Let's go, the battle is about to begin, the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates!" Teach said excitedly, then ran towards his Pops, his body trembling with excitement.

Seeing Teach leave, Mobius and the others immediately followed; they didn't want to miss such a battle.

On the other side, Roger and Whitebeard faced each other, six meters apart, still maintaining their fighting stances, staring intently at each other. Whitebeard's right arm was outstretched, gripping his greatsword tightly, while his left hand was clawed at Roger.

Roger, meanwhile, bent his arm and rested the sword on his shoulder, ready to wield it at any moment.

The air was heavy. The two men looked at each other, and then smiles appeared on their faces at the same time. The Whitebeard laughed loudly, "Gula la la!" He raised his right arm high, his broadsword, Yun Zong Chui, spinning rapidly in his hand. With a whoosh, he grabbed it and stood it upright on the ground.

"You look quite well, Roger," the Whitebeard chuckled.

Upon hearing Whitebeard's greeting, Roger laughed, "It's been so many years, Newgate!" He swung his sword to the left with his right hand, then switched the sword to his left, the tip pointing downwards, and stood it upright on the ground.

"Gurarararararar!" Whitebeard laughed loudly. Behind him, all the executives had arrived: Marco, Fossa, Wyper, Jozu, Vista, Andrei, Rayok, Teach had already arrived, and the other companions behind him.

"Hahahaha!" Roger laughed as well. His companions had arrived behind him, standing behind Rayleigh, Gaban, and the other powerful members of the Roger Pirates.

"Gulala la la la..."

"Hahahaha..."

The two men raised their heads and laughed loudly. Opposite the king, it seemed as if only their voices could be heard in the world. Behind them, Oden was still looking at the two men in shock, still immersed in the terrifying power they had just possessed.

After a long while, their laughter stopped. Looking at each other, Roger and Whitebeard said in unison, "Leave all your belongings behind!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the air grew heavy. The battle was about to begin, and everyone was ready. "Attack!" Marco shouted, his arms transforming into Phoenix Wings as he soared into the air, charging ahead of the Roger Pirates.

"Go ahead and grab it!" The Roger Pirates were not to be outdone. Gaban shouted, and together with Rayleigh, they swung their axes and longswords forward. The members of the Roger Pirates behind them were full of vigor and charged directly at the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates has officially begun.

"Let's have a big fight!" Teach exclaimed excitedly, charging directly at one of Roger Pirates members, Eye Dragon, a boxer with spiky hair and Jab. He had one eye open and his right eye was closed, presumably blind. He also had a dragon scale tattoo on his left chest, indicating he was a powerful martial arts expert.

With his hands forming claws, Teach instantly enveloped them in Armament Haki and swung Teach forward, unleashing five sharp sword-like slashes. He incorporated elements of the Marine Six Styles, specifically the Tempest Kick, and with his own strength, he could easily unleash sword-like strikes.
