The Pirate King and Mostima's Battle

"Roger succeeded! Haha! It's on the front page today, and only it. All the other news is over." At the headquarters of the World Economic News, Morgans stared wide-eyed at the news, then burst into laughter. "Big News Morgans! Big News Morgans! Print it! Print it like crazy! Let the whole world know this!"

"This newspaper is free!" Morgans shouted excitedly.

"Vice President, if we don't use money, won't we lose money?" A senior editor behind him asked, puzzled.

"Money is secondary. We're journalists, after all. Such world-shaking news must be spread to the world as quickly as possible!" Morgans shouted excitedly. Although he was still the vice President, the old President had entered a semi-retirement state, and some of the President's power had been transferred to him. Soon, he would become the real President.

"Yes, President." The editor-in-chief saluted and hurried back to work. It was foreseeable that the next few days would be very busy.

"Haha! Your wages for these few days will be doubled, even five times the normal amount. After we finish, we'll send you all on vacation in batches," Morgans shouted.

"Yes!" all the staff shouted excitedly in unison, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, their whole bodies brimming with energy.

With the News Bird, newspapers seemed to spread throughout the world as if they were free. They rained down on every street corner, and soon the whole world knew about this earth-shattering news.

"Has Roger become the Pirate King? Hahaha! It's about to begin." Teach looked at the newspaper in his hand, with the words "Pirate King" prominently displayed on the front page.

Immediately after the Battle of Edd War, the Roger Pirates had collected all four Poneglyph that recorded the location of the Laugh Tale. They ventured into the dense fog in search of the legendary, mysterious island that no one had ever reached before, said to contain a treasure that would shock the world.

All forces are watching closely. Just yesterday, the Roger Pirates successfully emerged from the fog and found their final island.

The Roger Pirates reached the unprecedented Grand Line, successfully circumnavigating the world.

Roger became known as the Pirate King, and the Roger Pirates solidified their title as the world's strongest pirate crew. Everyone was extremely curious: what exactly did the Roger Pirates find and see on their island?

On a floating island, the headquarters of Golden Lion Shiki, one of the current rulers of the New World, Shiki looked at the newspaper in his hand and laughed, "As expected of Roger, a worthy opponent, hahahaha!" Shiki exuded a breathtaking aura.

"Gurrrala! Roger." In Whitebeard's territory, aboard the Moby Dick, Whitebeard Edward Newgate laughed as he gulped down a large mouthful of wine.

Whole Cake Island, the headquarters of the Big Mom Pirates, is also the capital of Totto Land, established by Charlotte Linlin, one of the top Great Pirate in the New World.

At the very center, a towering Whole Cake Chateau. "Damn Roger!" Charlotte Linlin angrily crushed the delicious cake in front of her, her fists clenched, and shouted, her voice a terrifying, soul-shaking cry.

The red Poneglyph, also known as Road Sign Stone, are no secret to many Great Pirate in the New World. One of them was with Big Mom, but Roger openly invaded Whole Cake Island and copied the Road Sign Stone from her.

The members of Big Mom Pirates below dared not speak, covering their ears with their hands and closing their eyes in pain, enduring the pain. They knew that their mother was extremely angry and they could not provoke her.

Besides, many other Great Pirate also received this news and began searching for the Roger Pirates.

However, the Roger Pirates disappeared without a trace, and they could never have imagined that the Roger Pirates had disbanded.

"Roger has been crowned king, so what do we do next?" Mostima frowned as he looked at the news. This news was extremely unfriendly to them, the rising and ambitious pirates.

No one wants another king above them. Although Roger gained the recognition of two other legendary pirates Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Golden Lion Shiki, even if they acknowledged the title, it didn't mean they would obey Roger's leadership; that was impossible.

Teach is currently on White Sand Island, the territory of the White Bird Pirates. "Zehahaha! Don't worry, Mostima." Teach, lying on the sofa, laughed upon hearing Mostima's doubts. "Roger has a terminal illness and won't live much longer. At most, he'll die within a year."

"What? How is that possible!" Mostima was extremely shocked. He didn't doubt Teach's words, and he crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball.

"So, Roger won't die so simply. He'll do something earth-shattering before he dies." Teach narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly. "He will definitely change the world, and then our era will begin. Now, focus on getting stronger. Let me see if you've improved lately."

With that, Teach stood up and walked outside toward their usual training ground.

"Haha! Come on then." Mostima's body erupted with fighting spirit as he chuckled softly, a gentle smile that seemed to soothe the soul, yet concealed a murderous intent within.

Teach visited many times throughout the year, testing their progress and strength, while also demonstrating his own power. To truly gain the submission of others, one must possess great strength.

Spending a lot of time with Teach has given Mostima a touch of boldness.

In the training field, Teach and Mostima faced each other. "Watch out, I won't hold back." Teach's hands transformed into claws, covered in Armament Haki.

"Well, my strength won't stagnate," Mostima laughed, confident in his abilities. However, when facing Teach, his muscles tensed instinctively, as if he were facing a ferocious beast.

Around them were four officers: the White Bird Pirates' officers, the brothers Hadman and Haduno, Ebby, and the Shuke, who were watching the battle.

Mostima took the initiative to attack, Teach's strength put a lot of pressure on him. Heeding Teach's advice, in the past year or so, in addition to sword training, developing his Devil Fruit, he also trained in physical skills, and he would spend a large part of his time training his physique every day.

As Teach said, the strong have no weaknesses.

The Feather Fruit's power altered Mostima's body, granting him the lightness of a feather. This resulted in increased Mostima's speed and reduced stamina consumption.

The Feather Fruit is very compatible with Mostima, and in just over a year, he has already developed various techniques for using it.

In the blink of an eye, Mostima appeared in front of Teach, surprising Teach with her speed and quietness.

"Feather Blade!" Sharp blades formed from feathers appeared on his forearm and slashed horizontally towards Teach. These blades were a meter long, gleaming with a cold light, and extremely sharp, and they were not close to Teach.

"Clang!" Teach easily blocked the attack. He continued to fight Teach, using his physical skills in conjunction with his abilities, but Teach easily blocked all of Teach. He sighed inwardly. Seeing Teach's calm demeanor, he knew that this was within his expectations. He knew that Teach's Observation Haki was powerful and that all his actions were under Teach's control.

He wanted to use only his swordsmanship, but he didn't dare to. In previous battles, he knew that there was still a big gap between him and Teach. Teach's powerful Haki could block his sword moves and then grab his sword.

Therefore, if he were to unleash an even stronger move, the technique he developed, "Feather Fall - Ten Thousand Swords," as Mostima's voice rang out, countless pure white feathers appeared all around, floating silently in the air. Then, one by one, they all attacked Teach from behind him.

These feathers are as sharp as swords, like a thousand arrows piercing the heart.

Upon seeing this, Teach's eyes lit up. He immediately drew his Dragon Abyss from his back and unleashed a resonant roar. As Teach swung his sword forward, a sonic wave, like a dragon's roar, spread outwards.

The feathers that were shot at him froze in mid-air, forming an invisible sonic barrier around him, preventing them from getting close. Then, they continued to spread, knocking the attack to the ground, and feathers fell to the ground one by one.

"Storm Blade!" Mostima unleashed his next move, once again controlling the countless feathers that had fallen to the ground. They floated in mid-air, constantly rotating around Teach, creating a tornado of feathers, with Teach at the center of this tornado.

The most dangerous thing was the feathers that kept flying towards them in the wind, constantly shooting at Teach.

Teach used Armament Haki to defend himself, then leaped into the air, his powerful explosive force breaking through the storm and propelling him towards Mostima in the distance.

Mostima's body hovered in mid-air, with a few feathers beneath his feet. His body was as light as a feather, allowing him to stand in the air.

Faced with Teach charging straight at him, his expression changed. He moved his body constantly in the air, moving away from Teach. In an instant, a pair of wings grew from his back. If he wanted to fly, he still needed to condense wings and fly quickly in the sky.

Teach's figure shifted with Mostima's movements, his feet barely touching the air. Although his speed was a bit slower, his agility was no less than Mostima's.

The greatsword Dragon Abyss slashed fiercely at Mostima. Mostima raised his sword to block, and with a "boom," he felt a terrifying force. His body was directly knocked back, but he had wings, which could absorb the force and cushion the impact in the air. With a flap of his wings, his body remained stable in mid-air.

However, Teach's figure disappeared again, followed by a whooshing sound. This was a contest of speed. At the same time, Mostima had the advantage of aerial combat. Sensing Teach's approach, Mostima vanished from his spot. He was too fast, flying with the wind and the flowing air. His light body greatly reduced the resistance.

The four people below were dazzled, but they remained glued to the screen, not wanting to miss such a spectacular battle.

This turned into a chase, but Teach was getting closer and closer to him. Mostima's movements were all within his expectations, allowing him to act in advance and approach Mostima in the shortest possible distance.

Finally, Mostima was caught up by Teach, who unleashed a powerful and deadly strike, "Claw Rift."

Mostima sensed an extreme sharpness. Facing this claw, she activated, "Hurricane Barrier!"

It works on the same principle as Stormblade, but one is for attacking enemies while the other is for protecting oneself. A powerful storm surrounds you, forming an absolute defense. The idea is good, but the strength is too weak. For Teach, it's already quite good that he was able to develop it to this level in just over a year.

A flash of crimson claw light tore through the storm barrier in an instant. Mostima had a second layer of defense: wings raised in front of him to protect himself, while Armament Haki coiled around his wings.

"Sizzle!" The giant claw landed on the wings, blocking the attack. However, the immense power was too much for him to resist. With a "boom," Mobius's body plummeted from the sky and crashed to the ground, creating a large crater and cracks appearing all around.

"Cough cough!" Teach's body fell from the sky and landed steadily on the ground. Mostima slowly stood up, panting. The pressure of fighting Teach was too great. Apart from being passively defensive at the beginning, when he took the initiative to attack later, he did not give him any time to catch his breath and kept using his abilities. Those powerful moves also consumed a lot of his physical strength.

This was just a friendly sparring session, not a real fight. He was improving, and so was Teach. More importantly, through the fight with Teach, he could see his own progress and identify areas for improvement, which he could then address in his future training.

Mobius's strength has improved rapidly. Compared to when he was only close to Vice Admiral, he can now defeat ordinary Vice Admiral.

The Devil Fruit has greatly enhanced his abilities, but for now it can only serve a supporting role. He still needs to further develop his powers. These techniques have great potential, but they are not strong enough for a strong opponent. Currently, his attacks are mainly based on swordsmanship.

With a few years of experience, his abilities will undergo a dramatic transformation.

"Wow, that's impressive, Boss Teach," Hadman exclaimed. Every time he watched Teach fight Mostima, it was like this; they were on completely different levels. Their eyes could barely catch a glimpse of each other, and they could only judge their location by a faint shadow.

Mostima's speed, enhanced by her abilities, gave Mostima a significant advantage in aerial combat after her abilities were further developed. However, even so, she was still caught up by Teach, who used his powerful explosive force to overtake her.

"Monster-like strength!" Mostima uttered a simple sentence, but Teach merely smiled. "It's still a long way from being a true monster."
