The Dual-Fruit User: Tremor-Tremor Fruit Acquired
"Hahaha, such immense power!"
As the black curtain was drawn back, Whitebeard's proudly standing corpse remained unchanged, while Blackbeard was overjoyed—like a beggar who had suddenly won five million dollars.
"Let me give it a try—"
As Blackbeard crouched slightly, he raised a clenched fist, his muscle fibers, like steel cables, stretched to their limit, like a fully drawn bowstring!
"What is this—!?"
Such a classic move left the entire Whitebeard Pirates in shock! Isn't this just:
As Blackbeard's fist, glowing with a ball of light, slammed out—
Click!
In an instant, the air itself shattered like glass under his fist! A violent and terrifying shockwave swept back towards Marineford! Hundreds of meters long cracks burst open, and the already battered Marine Headquarters was instantly reduced to ruins in a deafening roar.
"Isn't that Whitebeard's 'Tremor-Tremor Fruit'?!"
"What's going on? That bastard Teach..."
"The ironclad rule that one person can only eat one Devil Fruit— "
It's not that absolute.
Roman, watching from the sidelines, shook his head. Humans are the most adept creatures at finding 'loopholes'. He himself was a prime example: by utilizing the Paper-Paper Fruit's carrying capacity, he could acquire the abilities of other Devil Fruits—albeit a knock-off version.
And then there's the Big Mom: "She clearly has the Soul-Soul Fruit, yet she can use the abilities of various elemental fruits... Actually, Vegapunk could do that too: make a bunch of weapons and accessories made from Devil Fruit users, wouldn't that make him a multi-powered user?"
"Hahahaha, the 'Power of Darkness' that reduces everything to nothingness; the 'Power of Tremors' that destroys everything, are both within my grasp!"
Blackbeard's arrogant voice, as darkness rose in one hand and a white orb of light vibrated in the other, echoed throughout the battlefield.
"I am the 'strongest,' and from now on—"
"My era!!!"
Good!
Very energetic.
Roman leaned forward slightly, assuming a charging stance, and a white longsword silently appeared in his hand. Blackbeard certainly didn't disappoint him; the moment he got his hands on the 'Tremor-Tremor Fruit,' he became incredibly arrogant.
He is like a wolf from Zhongshan, arrogant and rampant once he gains power!
"First, let Marineford sink into the sea—"
"Court death!!"
A righteous and domineering voice suddenly rang out, belonging to the man who ruled the Four Seas and the Grand Line, standing at the top of countless naval officers and soldiers.
Faced with the arrogant Blackbeard, Sengoku, who had transformed into Buddha Form, Sengoku down with a single palm!
This attack not only descended upon Teach like a five-fingered mountain, but also encompassed the entire Blackbeard Pirates! The giant hand began to radiate a golden color, a pure and clear golden hue like diamond glass! Compared to it, any colorful and beautiful scene in the mortal world seemed flawed and faded.
"The Buddha Shakes the World!"
Instinctively sensing the terrifying threat emanating from that palm strike, Blackbeard instantly unleashed the strongest power from every cell in his body! He simultaneously met the attack with both fists, one hand radiating darkness and the other vibration, transforming into a chaotic storm that absorbed and destroyed everything.
"Dark Water!"
"Wu Yao!"
However:
With boundless sense of justice, grandeur, and majesty, the giant hand pressed down with an overwhelming tyranny that could reverse the universe and suppress all things! The entire world seemed to be suppressed in an instant; all colors, light, smells, sounds, and so on lost their color and existence, leaving only the diamond-like brilliance emanating from the giant hand, which seemed to exist eternally.
The Fleet Admiral is furious!
In terms of sheer force, Blackbeard's fierce counterattack seemed insignificant, like an irresistible blow from an angry Buddha, a desperate struggle and futile resistance from a demon overestimating its own strength.
"Ah!!!!"
With a single palm strike, Blackbeard let out a scream filled with pain, resentment, and fear, his once robust body being sent flying like a scarecrow.
At the same time, all the Blackbeard Pirates members within the attack range coughed up blood and flew backward, each turning into a 'Byakugan King,' completely different from their arrogant and haughty selves when they first appeared!
In that very instant:
Call out--
Roman, who had been poised to strike, suddenly exploded beneath his feet and hurtled towards Blackbeard like Inazuma! His longsword trailed a deadly white light.
??!!
Having just been struck by Sengoku's palm and still dazed, Blackbeard was about to face Roman's sudden attack! Although he tried his best to dodge to the side, however:
A flash of light streaked across his eyes, and a sharp, cleaving sword aura, accompanied by a cold and domineering presence, sliced through his chest, taking with it a large clump of blood.
A dozen meters away, Roman's afterimage slowly disappeared! It was so fast that it left a lasting impression.
Paper Dance - Afterimage Slash!
Brush--
Having landed a successful blow Roman turned and circled back to his original spot, pointing his longsword.
"Where did this black-skinned, toothless beggar come from! How dare he act so insolently in front of the World Government—!"
Ah, this...
In an instant, the surrounding battlefield fell into a deathly silence. The naval officers and soldiers watched as the Celestial Dragons, wearing a bubble helmet and a white suit, whom they remembered as someone who only bullied men and women, arrogantly pointed his longsword at Blackbeard, who had just attacked Marine Headquarters. The blood on the sword silently testified to what had just happened.
"Hey, am I seeing things?"
"No... this is impossible..."
"Aren't all Celestial Dragons useless? How come there are experts with such courage?"
Just as the Marines were blinking hard, the Blackbeard Pirates also got to their feet. After all, they were considered second-tier fighters, and they weren't going to be rendered incapacitated by Sengoku's area-of-effect attack.
"Hehehe... Who... who are you?"
Blackbeard Teach, battered and bruised, with a sword wound on his chest forcibly closed by his powerful muscles, looked at the Celestial Dragons opposite him. —Although the face beneath the dragon's bubble hood resembled that of Straw Hat Luffy crew member he'd encountered on Jaya Island, but:
No way! Celestial Dragons becoming a pirate...?
"Hmph, you lowly commoner, how dare you know the name of this god? Kneel down now!"
Facing the arrogant and haughty Roman, who held his nose in the air, the surrounding Marines, for the first time, felt not disgust but a secret satisfaction at the Celestial Dragons's behavior. "Blackbeard, aren't you arrogant? Come and see who's more arrogant than the Celestial Dragons!"
!?
"Good, good, good! I'm going to kill—"
Blackbeard, whose forehead was bleeding from anger, was at a loss for words. Before he could think of any witty remarks to turn the tide, Roman had already planted his longsword on the ground, his hands on the hilt, looking completely unprepared.
"Kill me? What a joke!"
"I'll stand right here, neither dodging nor blocking! Come and kill me, you lowly commoner! No, you toothless beggar!"
!??
Puff,
Blackbeard blood pressure skyrocketing, coughed up a mouthful of blood! His feet, however, seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move, because:
To Roman's left stands Sengoku, transformed into a colossal Buddha, his rage palpable! To his right, Garp, his eyes red with suppressed grief, stands up—
Going there at this time is practically suicide!
After all, Sengoku's slap had already 'woke up' Blackbeard, who had obtained two Devil Fruits. With his current strength, he was not qualified to be arrogant at Marine Headquarters.
"I'll do it!"
However, the world is never short of stubborn people, and the burly man wearing a wrestler's mask, Gizas Burgess, suddenly charged forward! Although his strength... is hard to say, his loyalty is undoubtedly the best in the Blackbeard Pirates.
So he rushed forward without hesitation!
Burgess, you send—
Before Blackbeard could even speak, Burgess had already charged in front of Roman! Of course, having just been struck by Sengoku's palm, he still had the intelligence to distance himself from Sengoku and choose to break through from Garp's side. The result was:
"Roll!!"
A fist the size of a clay pot struck Burgess from behind, instantly creating ripples in the air!
The fist grew larger and larger until it completely covered everything! Instantly, Burgess felt as if the sun and moon had disappeared, and the world had been destroyed. It was as if the opponent's fist had been lifted up by the ancient demon Oars and smashed down on him.
"Ah!!!!"
Burgess roared, desperately gathering his strength, and threw a punch at his opponent! His pride wouldn't allow him to back down, so:
The two fists collided, followed by a dull, thunderous impact! Although Burgess didn't retreat an inch, the bones in his fist, arm, and shoulder all snapped instantly. His shattered right arm was pressed against his chest, causing his ribs to crack in a series of rapid bursts, and he was sent flying like a cannonball.
Whoosh—Boom!
He flew backward at an even faster speed than he had lunged out, crashing heavily into the rubble! The nearest sniper, Van Augur, immediately rushed over, checked the situation, and then calmly reported back to Blackbeard:
"There's still gas,"
"However, he suffered a comminuted fracture of his right arm and will likely need assistive devices in the future."
"Snort·····!"
Blackbeard let out a heavy snort and looked at Roman standing proudly between Sengoku Garp. In an instant, his already dark face turned as black as the bottom of a pot! His 'debut' had been ruined like this by the other party. How hateful!
The World Government, the Celestial Dragons?... We'll definitely get our revenge tenfold in the future!!
Facing the murderous aura emanating from Blackbeard, Roman raised an eyelid and sneered. "That's exactly the effect I wanted. Without Blackbeard constantly causing trouble for the World Government, how could the Straw Hat crew develop peacefully?"
Moreover, Roman's decision to strike the opponent just now wasn't merely for show or to draw attention:
Unbeknownst to everyone, the blood on Roman's longsword had vanished! A sheet of paper depicting a churning sea and crumbling islands had fallen into Roman's hands.
The Page of Tremors; it's finally here.
