Come On, We'll See This Through to the End

Whitebeard Edward Newgate, is hailed as a man with the power to destroy the world!

In the Summit War, Oboro's greatest resource was his abilities.

It's not just the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but also Haki, physical skills, and combat experience.

Of course, the resource cards he obtained from Whitebeard were among the best in the One Piece world, and Oboro wouldn't waste them on anyone else, nor did he intend to use them himself. Instead, he would keep them, just like bringing resources from Demon Slayer to One Piece. He wasn't sure if his next world would be Demon Slayer, or what dangers it might hold.

His own strength, due to the existence of the Qi Refining Method, is far from reaching its limit, and his room for improvement is immeasurable... Therefore, he doesn't even care about the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

The mere fact that they were restricted by the power of the sea was enough to disqualify them from joining the Hell Pirates. Furthermore, the Hell Pirates already had sufficient combat strength, and there was no one worth expending such precious resources to train.

Looking at the Whitebeard standing in front of him, his eyes closed, lifeless, and covered in sores, Oboro reached out and touched his body.

Start using the system for conversion.

What is he doing?

The appearance of the Hell Pirates has now become the focus of the battlefield.

From a distance, Marshal Sengoku observed Oboro's movements, his pupils contracting slightly.

He was both puzzled and had a bad feeling.

"Hey, Admiral... it's not what I'm thinking, is it..."

On the Blackbeard Pirates, who had just escaped, Lafitte's gaze was also fixed on the God Slayer. He gasped and spoke softly.

Their captain, Blackbeard Teach, possesses the Dark-Dark Fruit, allowing him to absorb the powers of other people's Devil Fruits... however, this requires a specific environment. While the God Slayer's actions differed from Marshall D. Teach's description, they strangely felt a sense of familiarity to the group.

"Impossible..."

Marshall D. Teach turned around, his face turning deathly pale.

Thus, his plan to obtain the Tremor Fruit completely failed.

"Actually, there's always been a rumor, though it hasn't really taken off yet... The divine power the God Slayer bestowed upon the One Piece, especially some of the abilities, has been found to match with many of the dead. However... firstly, those people received the God Slayer's favor and are unwilling to reveal the truth; secondly, matters involving their own secrets are not easily shared with outsiders. But we also received power from him. I investigated before... the abilities we received, including those images that merged into memories and became instincts, might have once belonged to some living person on the high seas..."

Lafitte's bright red lips curled up, her eyes cold. "It's just that this is too unbelievable. I wasn't sure before, but now that I've seen this, I can be sure."

"He..."

"Most likely, like the captain... they can absorb the abilities of others, and not just individual Devil Fruit abilities, but the entirety of combat abilities."

"That's amazing... I thought only the captain could do that."

Lafitte continued to sigh.

At that moment, Oboro had already lowered his hand from the Whitebeard's skin.

A smile on his face.

No problems at all, it worked!

Although they have been weakened, the value of these three resource cards is immeasurable, considering Whitebeard's combat strength.

At present, apart from the Blackbeard Pirates who realized something, in the eyes of Sengoku and others, Oboro was more like a junior One Piece who was reminiscing about Whitebeard and doing some things with 'respect'.

On this side of the battlefield, Oboro received Whitebeard's 'legacy'.

Meanwhile, in another area separated by the shattered earth, a corner of Marineford's inner bay... Koby, who had awakened his extraordinary Observation Haki, stood trembling in front of Marine Admiral Akainu. Despite his fear, he still managed to say those words, trying to persuade Sakazuki to stop.

This indicates that the war is over.

But Akainu's fist, rolling with magma, still fell without hesitation.

Then... he was stopped by a blade.

The newcomer was none other than Shanks, one of the Yonko.

And the entire fighting force of the Red Hair Pirates.

After praising Koby, Shanks very Haki declared in front of everyone that he was there to end this farce.

Then, he led his main force to look out at the naval commanders, including the Blackbeard Pirates and the Hell Pirates.

Especially the God Slayer, Oboro.

"If no one has had enough trouble yet, the Red Hair Pirates are happy to oblige!"

Shanks' appearance is undoubtedly to handle Whitebeard's affairs after his death, and also to cover the escape of the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates, including Luffy and his crew. The Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates have been fighting fiercely for so long, both suffering heavy casualties... Although the Marines have a high chance of winning, a completely new Yonko force has suddenly entered the fray. If Shanks forces with the remnants of Whitebeard's crew, the Marines may not have much of a chance of victory.

Shanks is Yonko, so his words are beyond question.

The entire Red Hair Pirates exudes a very strong aura.

It's not just a matter of 'saving face'.

At this moment, Shanks is indeed qualified to be the 'decision-maker'.

Marshal Sengoku remained silent.

Naval personnel also dared not act rashly.

Blackbeard swallowed hard, his eyes scanning the area, already preparing to make a run for it.

Because he realized what was going to happen next...

He knew God Slayer all too well.

The appearance of the Shanks was also within his expectations, and he was not surprised at all.

The only mistake was failing to obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Given this situation, staying would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous for them.

"Hehe..."

In the deathly silence, when no one dared to respond to Shanks's words, a laugh suddenly broke out.

Shanks man narrowed his eyes and saw a man emerge from behind a huge, Whitebeard body that was facing away from him.

God Slayer.

That laugh alone made Shanks grip the hilt of his sword tighter.

He... might be mistaken.

The appearance of the God Slayer was initially thought to be advantageous to them. Although the two sides had no prior relationship, the Hell Pirates were, after all, One Piece... and it was impossible for them to join forces with the Navy.

"For your sake?"

Oboro adjusted his hat with one hand, met the Shanks's sharp gaze, and gave a mocking smile.

"What face do you have? If we're talking about the entire battlefield right now, the one least qualified to boast is you... Shanks, what are you doing here, a Celestial Dragons?"

Celestial Dragons? Upon hearing this, all the One Piece present were astonished, including the Marines, who were also surprised and shocked.

"Oh?"

Shanks.

He understood the God Slayer's stance.

"You know quite a lot..."

"Want to give it a try?"

Shanks' eyes gleamed, showing no sign of backing down.

Hahahaha!

Long smiled, a smile of utter contentment.

The Hell Pirates didn't participate in the Summit War because it wasn't necessary; those who were destined to die would die anyway. Although they had obtained the most important Whitebeard resource, there were still many resources they hadn't had time to plunder, so Oboro definitely wouldn't give up.

It's even less likely that he'd leave the stage just because of a single sentence from Shanks.

He made sure his crew conserved their energy so they could face the Red Hair Pirates.

This epic battle is far from over! Long opened her arms, welcoming the gentle breeze, and closed her eyes to enjoy it...

A few seconds later, he lowered his head, his gaze meeting Shanks's in mid-air.

At the same time, all the members of the Hell Pirates came to his side.

"Come on, we're ready to fight to the end!"

Oboro's expression was somewhat crazed, and he gave Shanks a wicked smile.

He said it word by word.
