Roger fixed Rayleigh with a burning stare.
Beside the bespectacled Rayleigh, who looked steadier and more composed, Roger seemed the more impulsive of the two.
"Roger's about to make his move."
Newgate stood nearby, chin in hand, smiling. He knew Roger's personality well.
What he was truly curious about, though, was Rayleigh's strength.
He knew Rayleigh, but they had barely fought. Whenever they clashed, Roger was the one Newgate faced.
It was the same for the others. Though they had fought the Roger Pirates, those battles always paired captain against captain and commander against commander. Rayleigh was far too strong for his opponents to force him to reveal his true power.

"He's strong. I'd need at least two days to bring him down."
Titan made no attempt to hide it.

Even after ten days of battle, Titan's condition would not decline.
If they truly fought it out, Titan would be the
