The Blackbeard Pirates Wiped Out in an Instant

Thoughts that were truly mind-blowing kept popping up.

This news has left countless people stunned and numb.

"Wow... that's awesome!!"

"A new era is dawning; from this day forward, it is the era of the King of Knights!"

"Set sail immediately and enter the New World. We can't let anyone else take over Whitebeard's territory first."

"The battle for supremacy has begun, my men..."

"..."

After the numbness comes the exhilarating excitement that drives people crazy.

After they came to their senses, those ruthless pirates all wore sickly smiles on their faces.

He exuded an evil aura that made ordinary people tremble.

As stated before the clash of titans began, the support for Whitebeard's victory was extremely low.

Even though the 'King of Knights's' profession is a bounty hunter, most of the sea monsters are his own.

Because once Whitebeard dies, the biggest piece of the New World pie will become ownerless, just like after Beasts 'Kaido fall.

'King of Knights' is an oddball, a proud lone wolf.

The world calls it the new generation of 'Red the Aloof', and there's no reason why.

Because he is a single man, no one has dared to challenge the 'King of Knights' for a long time.

--' Mihawk's Jora Mihawk.

--' Golden Lion's Shiki.

--'BIG-MOM' Charlotte Linlin.

--' Kaido the Beasts '.

Not counting those who became 'King of Knights' and established their reputation as the World's Greatest Bounty Hunter over the past two years, each of these four individuals is so despairing.

These four people were defeated and killed by the same person.

These four people were defeated and killed by the same person.

And now, even Whitebeard has died at his hands.

Two of the Four Emperors have died, one suffered a defeat in the seas, and there are legends from the previous era...

Among the titles of "World's Greatest Bounty Hunter," "World's Greatest Swordsman," "Strongest in Single Combat Fighter," and "World's Strongest Man," not to mention the now-prestigious "World's Greatest Bounty Hunter," any one of the latter three titles would make someone world-famous.

Now, all three titles are concentrated on the 'King of Knights'.

This is a complete Monster.

A Monster that can never be defeated!!

"Ding! Congratulations! You have completed the [Achievement Quest - Never Defeated]! Your Noble Phantasm 'The Avalon' has been Awakening!"

That thought then surfaced in the minds of people around the world.

A system notification also sounded in Arthur's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have achieved the Achievement Quest Never Defeated: [First Victory], [Ten Consecutive Wins Achievement Quest, [Hundred Achievement Quest Hundred Battles, Hundred Victories], and [Achievement Quest]. System Rating: SSS!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have completed all the [Achievement Quest]. The system is starting to update! Update time: 90 days! Countdown: 89 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds..."

Before Arthur could show any joy, two more system notifications rang in his mind.

The notification tone gradually calmed down the initial excitement.

The Awakening the 'Avalon' is certainly something that should excite Arthur.

After all, it took Arthur more than three years to Awakening this Noble Phantasm.

He maintained a perfect record and spent a lot of time improving his reputation.

However, compared to the 'Avalon', Arthur cared more about the game system that granted him the qualifications of a strongman.

These two notification sounds clearly confirmed Arthur's suspicions.

This game system is definitely not simple. After completing all the [Achievement Quest], is it finally about to change?

However, we'll have to wait another three months to find out what changes have been made to the game system.

With that in mind, Arthur temporarily suppressed these thoughts.

He looked up and saw the dead Whitebeard standing before him.

Arthur's expression held a hint of wistfulness.

He thought that having traveled to the era where the story was about to begin, he would probably be unable to fight this 'World's Strongest Man'.

Or rather, he will be killed during the Paramount War.

However, for various reasons, Arthur concealed his strength during the Paramount War.

Whitebeard did not die; on the contrary, he returned to his peak form because of him.

In the end, this 'World's Strongest Man' still died at his hands.

It's truly moving!

So Arthur rode the "Don Starion" to Whitebeard, placed his hand on his shoulder, and with a slight effort from his slender fingers, lifted up the burly Whitebeard's corpse.

"Please stop, King of Knights... wait a minute~"

Just as Arthur was about to move Whitebeard's corpse, a wild laugh suddenly rang in his ears, drawing the attention of the already agitated world.

'Bang--'

Looking to the side, I saw several figures enveloped in coral bubbles leaping onto the sea near the now-barren 'Decalvan'.

Chapter 279 The Blackbeard Pirates

(Tomorrow, the Holy Fourth Great Holy Grail War will end in the New World!)

As those figures appeared, the coral bubbles enveloping them suddenly burst.

The burly man at the head of the group, with a wild smile on his face, was none other than 'Blackbeard' Marshall D. Teach, and behind him was Blackbeard Pirates.

"I've done you a favor, 'King of Knights'!" Blackbeard stretched out his arms, his face full of excitement as he looked at Whitebeard's corpse beside Arthur, and laughed wildly, "Without you, I'm afraid my plan would never have had a chance to come to fruition in this lifetime."

In return, you should die!

After saying that, Blackbeard seemed to be fantasizing about something wonderful, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "This era is mine!!"

Why is Blackbeard Pirates there?

"Oh no, I wonder if 'King of Knights' will still have the strength to deal with Blackbeard Pirates after his battle with Whitebeard?"

"..."

As people watched Blackbeard Pirates on screen, discussions began to rise all over the world.

"Perfect timing! Let's take down 'King of Knights 083,' Blackbeard!!"

"Kill him! You must kill the 'King of Knights'!!"

"If you can kill the 'King of Knights,' no matter how despicable your methods, we'll acknowledge that the new era belongs to you, Blackbeard!!"

"..."

The members of Haizhong were all excited, and their shouts echoed continuously.

Everyone is cheering for Blackbeard, hoping Blackbeard can kill the 'King of Knights'.

Although Blackbeard's act of lurking behind the scenes was highly despicable.

But if they could kill the 'King of Knights,' they wouldn't care about any despicable acts.

Nobody wants the sea to be the strongest, and the strongest person isn't the sea monster, but the bounty hunter.

And so, countless fans cheered them on.

"Lafitte, thank you for your help..."

Blackbeard didn't let those sea monsters attack him; after becoming the 'King of the Sea,' he began to take action.

"Understood, my captain..." Lafitte sprouted a pair of wings from his back, wielding a sword as he soared into the sky, blocking the 'King of Knights's' escape route.

"That way you won't be able to escape through the air, King of Knights." Blackbeard laughed smugly. "Back then, we almost died because of your help."

"Pathetic clown—" Looking at Blackbeard's arrogant demeanor, Arthur said with rare disdain, "Where do you get the confidence to dare appear before me?"

"Confidence?" Blackbeard's smile froze slightly, then he sneered, "That's completely unnecessary. Do you really think your body, at its limit, is still a match for us?"

"I see!" Arthur's eyes lit up with realization, his disdain deepening. "Is this where your confidence comes from?"

"..."

For some reason, Arthur's behavior gave Blackbeard a bad feeling. Panicked, he shouted, "Stop bluffing! Men, attack!!"

"Hoo..." Shiryu of the Rain, standing beside him, lit a cigar and said coldly, his eyes beneath his flight cap, "Although the methods are somewhat despicable, I don't mind taking the title of 'World's Greatest Swordsman' as my subordinate."

"Hahaha... I almost died back then, but now it's the other way around!" Zishas Bashas shouted with laughter.

"To be able to kill that Monster Whitebeard, what a terrifying brat! Meow~" Abaro Pizarro laughed, "Now we're about to take down the world's strongest man, it's so exciting! Meow~"

Looking at the group that seemed to be declaring victory, Arthur suddenly shook his head helplessly, grabbed Whitebeard by the shoulder with one hand, lifted his corpse up, and looked down at "Don Starion" and said, "Let's go, Don Starion."

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing this, the horse "Don Starion" beneath him let out a neigh and its body floated into the air.

"I don't think you'll escape now," Blackbeard roared, wisps of black smoke swirling around him.

"Escape?" Arthur, floating in the air, looked down at Blackbeard with a cold laugh and said, "Pathetic clown, since you've chosen your own path to death, then so be it."

'Swish--'

The moment he finished speaking, a golden glow appeared out of thin air around Arthur.

With a swift reach, the radiance rapidly coalesced into a slender, silvery-white Holy Lance.

'Sizzle...'

Gripping the cold gun barrel, a large amount of violent arcs of electricity flashed out.

Each electric arc was as thick as a thumb.

An extremely terrifying pressure, accompanied by flashes of electricity, emanated directly from Arthur's body.

'Rumble--'

Above the sky, the dark clouds that were about to dissipate instead gathered even more, their inky black color fading into the distance.

The sound of muffled thunder echoed through the clouds.

"How is this possible?! How could you still have that kind of power...?" Blackbeard stared in disbelief, then roared in panic.

Even Shiryu of the Rain and the others looked grave.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"A bunch of clowns, may you perish!" Arthur did not answer Blackbeard's words. The Holy Lance in his hand turned completely blue and white at an extremely fast speed, and then changed from blue and white to purple.

'Call out--'

Arthur gripped the purple lightning bolt and casually tossed it downwards.

In an instant, a sonic boom powerful enough to pierce eardrums exploded in the ears of the whole world.

"Hiss..."

"Dong Starlion" let out a shout, transformed into a blue-white beam of light, and instantly left the sky above 'Decalvan'.

'Boom--!'

Less than a few seconds after Arthur left, a towering purple beam of light shot into the sky.
