"Rayleigh, looks like we brothers are fighting side by side again," Jabba grinned, holding two axes like a butcher.

"Yeah, this time we'll have to go all out. I've fought Borsalino before—young as he is, he's quite strong." Rayleigh also drew his saber, a confident smile on his face.

"Hahaha, this time we've got the numbers. They've only got eight people," Jabba said with anticipation.

His blood was pumping as he took long strides and swung his arms in a sprint, a wide grin spreading across his face, filled with heroic excitement.

"This time I'm not just some green rookie relying entirely on the system—I've actually improved."

Running beside Rayleigh, kept pace while the group was still moving at a normal speed—otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep up.

", this is a real battle. Even though I'm sure we'll win, you should treasure this rare chance. Pay close attention to sensing people's auras," Rayleigh said, grinning at him.

"Hehe, don't worry, big bro Rayleigh, I was already planning on it. I'm gonna beat the crap out of those Marines this time."

"Hmm? 'Crap out of them'? What does that even mean?" Rayleigh frowned, confused by 's sudden strange wording.

", what are you saying? The fight's about to start." Jabba glanced over with a puzzled expression.

"Haha, I mean I'm gonna turn them into jerk!" burst into loud laughter.

"Turn them into jerk… Hahaha, interesting. Alright, I'll be watching how you perform." Rayleigh, usually a calm and composed person, couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahaha, , you're even more entertaining than Shanks and Bucky!"

"Hehe, words can be strung together in all sorts of creative ways—same goes for battle. You've gotta adapt on the fly." said proudly. Back in the day, he was famous for his sharp tongue.

Speaking of Shanks and Bucky, the two were currently staying with Rouge at the Tree of Knowledge. A battle like this would only cause trouble for them.

Earlier, Roger had dashed off ahead like a madman, and Whitebeard didn't bother stopping him.

Now, Whitebeard was carrying Murakumogiri and catching up with Roger.

"Roger, let's not mess around this time. Finish it quickly so we can head to Wano."

"Hahaha, I know, I know. My wife and child are still on the island—I want to finish this even more than you do."

"Really? Alright then..." Whitebeard trusted Roger's words, but based on his earlier behavior, it was hard not to have doubts.

Both the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates charged ahead like wild horses breaking free, killing intent radiating in all directions.

Meanwhile, the eight Vice Admirals advancing toward the island's center suddenly came to a halt.

"Be on alert! The enemy is approaching! Strong auras detected!"

Akainu, leading at the front, had already begun partially turning into magma—ready for battle at any moment.

"Looks like we've walked into an ambush. They must've known we were coming, yet they still dared to confront us. Seems like some major figures are involved," Burning Mountain said grimly, a cigar clenched between his teeth.

"Neh~ Rayleigh is here... That means it must be the Roger Pirates. Pirate King Gol D. Roger is likely here too."Borsalino took his hands out of his pockets, his expression more serious than ever. With Garp not present this time, he felt genuine tension for the first time.

"Everyone, don't try to take them head-on. These are some of the most dangerous pirates in the world," said Momonga with a stern look. He was always known for his strict discipline.

Onigumo, baring his teeth, had ten blades at the ready as his hair writhed like spider legs.

"For the sake of the Navy's justice, we must take this chance to wipe out the Roger Pirates in one blow!"

"Borsalino, go up and take a look. I have a bad feeling about this,"Aokiji called out to Borsalino nearby, a breath of frost escaping from his mouth—he was clearly ready for battle as well.

Borsalino didn't reply. Instead, his body instantly transformed into a golden beam of light and in the blink of an eye, he was already in the sky.

"Neh~ a massive black swarm… how terrifying."As soon as Borsalino got a clear view, his expression changed dramatically."Yasakani no Magatama!"

He unleashed a barrage of light bullets in a wide-range attack.

"Undying Flames!"Marco soared into the sky in his phoenix form, using blue flames to form a blazing shield that blocked Borsalino's attack.

"Neh~ the Phoenix, Marco…"Borsalino raised his voice for once:"The Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates have both shown up together!"

The moment those words were spoken, panic rippled through the ranks. None of them were confident in their ability to face two legendary pirate crews at once.

"That man… the world's strongest, Edward Newgate…"Stainless broke into a cold sweat instantly.

"What?! The Whitebeard Pirates are on this island too?!"Even the always-serious Momonga lost his composure, overwhelmed by a sense of imminent danger.

"Damn it, aren't these two pirate crews supposed to be enemies? Why are they both here?!"

"Akainu, don't act rashly. I suggest we retreat. We're not their match."

Aokiji didn't want to say this, but compared to Akainu, he was much more rational. Right now, he was genuinely worried that Akainu's stubbornness would cost the Navy dearly.

"Hmph! I don't need your advice, Aokiji."Akainu turned to glance at him, visibly uncomfortable with Aokiji's icy aura.

"Akainu, listen to Aokiji. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!" Doberman urged him urgently, his face tense.

"Hahahaha, none of you are leaving today!"Roger's voice echoed over.

Almost the moment Roger's voice rang out, the Vice Admirals caught sight of Roger and the others approaching.

Leading them was none other than Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King. Beside him stood Edward Newgate, the man said to have the power to destroy the world.

And behind them surged a flood of pirates—many of whom were only a step below Roger and Whitebeard in strength.

Both Roger and Whitebeard had already been healed by , meaning they were now at full power.

"Heh heh…""Heh heh…"

Roger and Whitebeard grinned at the same time—their pupils suddenly turning blood-red.

Whitebeard clenched his fist and struck the air. Instantly, visible cracks appeared in the sky!

A split-second later, the ground beneath the eight Vice Admirals began to rupture, with massive stone spikes jutting upward.

However, Whitebeard held back from unleashing a full quake-induced tsunami—after all, many of their own were Devil Fruit users.

Borsalino returned to the group, golden light still glowing on his fingers."This… this is seriously terrifying."

"Everyone be careful! Fall back immediately!" Momonga shouted loudly.

"Pirates! Don't get cocky! I'll wipe every last one of you out today!" Akainu's body reformed on a relatively stable patch of ground, fully elementalized. He launched a powerful punch:

"Great Eruption!"

Roger grinned, his eyes full of disdain. "remember you…Akainu. Young man—let me send you on your way."
