Chapter 689

"Pfft..." Chen Fan's figure shifted rapidly in the air. A single attack couldn't break through, but a series of attacks pierced the darkness and struck Blackbeard's true form. New wounds appeared continuously on Blackbeard's body, and he screamed in agony. The sound sent shivers down the spines of Burgess and Doc Q on the distant sea. This was Blackbeard's strongest form, yet he was being beaten into constant agony by Chen Fan. Just how strong was Chen Fan...?

(Chapter 191 Battle with Blackbeard)

"Thud...!" Chen Fan's knife slashed at Blackbeard, leaving a shallow wound. The location was off-center; when the knife touched the darkness on Blackbeard's body, a force pulled Chen Fan, preventing his strike from changing direction. Otherwise, Chen Fan's strike would have seriously injured Blackbeard. Chen Fan pursed his lips.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!! It hurts so much!! It hurts so much!! Ahhh!! It hurts so much!!!" Blackbeard screamed, rolling on the ground, tears streaming down his face. Chen Fan had just made two shallow cuts in his abdomen, causing Blackbeard excruciating pain. The Darkness Fruit had this weakness: if injured, the pain would be amplified.

Furthermore, even when he uses the "Dark Vortex 757," while the Devil Fruit User's body is attracted, they can still use techniques during the flight. Unlike other Logia Devil Fruit, they cannot be immune to physical damage, i. e., become elemental. In fact, the pain from injuries is doubled. In a sense, the shortcomings of Logia Devil Fruit are too numerous. However, it is precisely because of these shortcomings that the Darkness Fruit possesses the unimaginable, heaven-defying ability to absorb the abilities of other Devil Fruit.

Chen Fan calmly watched Blackbeard rolling on the ground. Chen Fan was, of course, familiar with Blackbeard. Although he hadn't finished watching One Piece when Pirate King knelt, his impression of Blackbeard was still very deep. In the Marineford War, Blackbeard used trickery to steal Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, becoming one of the Four Emperors of the New World. The Darkness Fruit combined with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was absolutely powerful. In the entire One Piece series, Blackbeard was truly the only Pirate King who could be considered a pirate.

"If you feel pain, don't resist. I'll kill you with one stroke, guaranteeing you won't feel any pain, and you'll even experience a pleasurable sensation, something you've never felt before," Chen Fan said with a smile to Blackbeard.

Blackbeard quickly retreated to a safe distance. For the first time, he felt that Chen Fan's strength was beyond his expectations. This guy was abnormally strong, and Chen Fan's head was too heavy for him to bear. However, he would not admit defeat. The power of the Darkness Fruit was not limited to this.

Blackbeard took a deep breath and struggled to his feet, his face grim as he glared at Chen Fan. "You bastard! How could you kill me? I don't know what death feels like, and I don't want to know. I'm going to be the Pirate King! How could I possibly fall here?!" With that, Blackbeard spread his arms and the Roar towards the sky.

Chen Fan scratched his cheek speechlessly, looking at Blackbeard and saying, "Uh... it's that... the villain accuses first!... What do your dreams have to do with me? You just wanted to kill me, and then I killed you instead. It's the lowest level of the thousand ways a master can die. What's the use of telling me? Blame yourself for not recognizing Mount Tai. Look for the reasons within yourself. Blaming your teammates for feeding kills or blaming the opponent for being too strong won't help you improve!"

Blackbeard couldn't understand anything Chen Fan said, but he had to show his true strength today. A man who could scratch three wounds on the face of Shanks, one of the Four Emperors in the New World, wouldn't be defeated so easily.

Blackbeard's black aura churned as he said, "I didn't expect you weren't Devil Fruit User. No wonder you weren't attracted by the 'Dark Vortex.' Although I don't know what superpowers are, I, Blackbeard, will absolutely not die here!"

"Black Hole!!"

Blackbeard's body was enveloped in a swirling black aura, which completely covered Blackbeard form. The blackness beneath his feet was like a shadow, spreading outwards from Blackbeard's body. Chen Fan's feet were also touched by some of the black aura.

A powerful suction pulled Chen Fan into the darkness, causing Chen Fan body to sway slightly.

"Hahahaha...! You little bastard, once you're entangled in darkness, you'll be pulled in by gravity until you're pulverized. Black Hole can absorb everything, compress, and pulverize it. Just die like that!" Blackbeard laughed loudly as he saw Chen Fan's feet being entangled in darkness.

Chen Fan severed the black aura binding Chen Fan feet with a single slash of his sword, then stepped into the air.

Blackbeard, seeing Chen Fan's action, said, "Hahaha...! Are you a Marine? Isn't that Geppo from the Navy Six Styles? I'm so envious! But that only allows you to float in the air for a short time. The entire island is covered by my darkness, where can you escape to? Hahaha...! You will eventually die by my hand!" Blackbeard spoke, he expanded his black aura once more, covering the entire island, leaving Chen Fan with nowhere to land.

Chen Fan, standing in mid-air, glanced disdainfully at Blackbeard and smiled slightly, saying, "I really don't know where you get your confidence from, being so arrogant. Do your parents know you're so cocky?" As he spoke, four whirlwinds appeared behind Chen Fan, and he soared into the air.

Blackbeard's expression darkened once more. Chen Fan's methods were endless; despite not being Devil Fruit User, he possessed power similar to that of Devil Fruit, and it seemed quite complex. Blackbeard shouted at Chen Fan, "Who exactly are you? And what are your superpowers?!"

As he shouted, Blackbeard waved his right hand at Chen Fan, and a pillar-shaped black aura rushed towards Chen Fan. Chen Fan dodged it. Blackbeard's black aura moved very slowly, and Chen Fan also realized that it had no effect outside of the black aura; only those surrounded by the black aura were affected by its gravitational pull.

Chen Fan's body moved freely through the air, occasionally unleashing a slash to cut through the black aura. The sword, imbued with killing intent, could cleave through darkness. Fortunately, he had Geppo, which allowed Chen Fan to unleash a considerable amount of speed in the air.

"Pfft...!" Chen Fan wounded Blackbeard once again;

"Ouch...! It hurts...! It hurts so much!" Blackbeard cried out again, but Chen Fan had no sympathy. Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Blackbeard was definitely the kind of person with ambition and patience. He was no ordinary person who could have infiltrated the Whitebeard Pirates for more than 20 years.

(Chapter 192 Blackbeard Dies)

Blackbeard, however, was in increasing pain, and the black aura around him grew stronger and stronger, to the point that Chen Fan's sword could no longer cut through him. Blackbeard had learned his lesson and no longer used his dark aura to attack Chen Fan indiscriminately, but instead used it to protect himself. Chen Fan also stopped and floated in mid-air.

After Chen Fan finally stopped, Blackbeard was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot. It was the first time he had ever experienced such pain. Chen Fan's repeated slashes were like the legendary ancient tortures, the intense pain making Blackbeard want to die. But thanks to his strong will, he finally endured it. Chen Fan admired Blackbeard's perseverance. Chen Fan it was, but judging from Blackbeard's cries of agony, it must have been extremely painful.
