Chapter 692

"Ouch...! It hurts! It hurts so much!" Blackbeard yelled, then struggled to reach out and pull out Chen Fan's knife.

"Swish...!" Another knife pinned Blackbeard's right leg to the ground. Blackbeard screamed again, his hands trembling as he tried to pull out the two knives, but even the slightest touch caused him excruciating pain, and he cried out in agony.

Chen Fan approached Blackbeard and said, "You didn't have to be in such a terrible state, but you shouldn't have attacked my woman!" With that, Chen Fan pointed a finger at Blackbeard's forehead. Blackbeard, terrified, tried to run away, sensing the danger emanating from Chen Fan's finger—more dangerous than the two knives. But it was all in vain; Chen Fan's finger struck Blackbeard's forehead.

"...!"

Blood flowed from Blackbeard's seven orifices; his brain had exploded. Chen Fan used his superpowers to kill him. No one knew that two years later, Four Emperors of the New World would die here, remaining unknown until his death. Chen Fan directly interrupted Blackbeard's dream of becoming the Pirate King. This proved that fate can shatter dreams.

After extracting Blackbeard's Darkness Fruit, Chen Fan returned to the ship. As soon as he got on the ship, Chen Fan collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep, which lasted for a week.

Chapter 193 Re-entering the Calm Belt

(Chapter 193 Re-entering the Calm Belt)

Many things, Little One, happened this week. First, shortly after Chen Fan and Blackbeard's battle ended, Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates who had been in charge of pursuing Blackbeard, arrived at Jaya Island and saw Blackbeard lying dead on the ground. I wonder what he thought.

Blackbeard was once his subordinate. Blackbeard felt he should take full responsibility for killing Ace, the fourth division commander Ace. Moreover, one of the things Whitebeard could not tolerate was betraying and harming his comrades, and Blackbeard had committed all of these crimes. Therefore, Whitebeard sent Ace to capture Blackbeard.

Unexpectedly, Blackbeard, whom he had been chasing, died here. Anyone would feel uneasy in this situation. The one who should have truly ended Blackbeard's life was Ace. The battle here was over, and people began to return one after another. Some wanted to see what had happened, while others had other purposes.

Ace saw someone approaching and grabbed one of them, demanding, "Who was fighting Blackbeard just now? Who killed him?!" His face was contorted with anger, making him look frightening. The man trembled with fear. He was just an ordinary local resident who had fled in such a hurry that he hadn't even taken the money from his cellar. He had returned to secretly retrieve the money, and the location was right beneath Blackbeard's body.

"It's... it's... it's Chen Fan! That Great Pirate with a bounty of 500 million Beli!" the man exclaimed in alarm.

"Chen Fan?" Ace vaguely remembered him. In his memory, Chen Fan was just a newcomer, and his bounty was only 100 million Beli. How could his bounty have reached 500 million Beli? 500 million Beli is no ordinary pirate. What earth-shattering thing has this Chen Fan done?

"What did he do, and why is there a 500 million Beli on his head?"

"He... he seems to have initially defeated Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, and then Crocodile the Vice Admiral to Impel Down with the World Government."

Ace's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected this Chen Fan to have such abilities, but what shocked him the most was that he had killed Blackbeard, the man who had even left claw marks on the face of Blackbeard, Red-Haired of the Four Emperors.

Where is he?

The man pointed in a certain direction and said, "They all chased after him that way. It seems that man was also seriously injured, and he was carrying a Devil Fruit."

Ace abandoned the man and ran towards the sea, boarding his personal speedboat-like vessel, powered primarily by Ace own flames. He quickly chased after Chen Fan had gone. Regardless of whether the Devil Fruit was the Darkness Fruit or not, Ace had to see it after killing Blackbeard. If it was the Darkness Fruit, Ace would take it back, because it originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates. They had lost Whitebeard Pirates because of Devil Fruit, and the fruit was extremely dangerous; he absolutely couldn't let an outsider get his hands on it.

A day passed, and the women escaped with Chen Fan, while their ship was constantly pursued by the pirates who had been observing from a distance with binoculars while Chen Fan and Blackbeard were fighting.

If Chen Fan unharmed, it wouldn't matter. Although they were very interested in Chen Fan's head, they needed to be alive to earn and spend it. However, the Devil Fruit in Chen Fan's possession was too tempting for these pirates. Their vision was blinded by the desire called greed, and they could no longer see the danger. As pirates, the most important thing is greed.

"What do we do, Nami! We can't escape their pursuit like this. Chen Fan has already passed out. If this continues, we'll all die here with Chen Fan," Robin calmly analyzed. The situation was dire; there were simply too many pirates behind them. If they fell into their hands, death would be preferable.

"Boom...!" A cannonball struck Chen Fan's ship directly, tearing a hole in the deck and causing the ship to rock violently. The crew struggled to maintain their balance; if this continued, the ship would surely sink.

"Oh yeah...! Hit! Hit! Haha...! My shooting is really amazing, haha! As long as the opponent is a woman, I hit her every time! Hahaha...! You guys hurry up and hand over the Devil Fruit, I just went easy on you, otherwise your ship would have sunk long ago if I wasn't afraid of damaging the Devil Fruit." A pirate in the back of the pirate ship laughed loudly;

"One more! One more!..." the pirates chanted.

"Damn it...!" Vivi and Tashigi said through gritted teeth;

"Bang...! Whoosh...!" Another shell flew over;

"Six Petal Flower Bloom!" Robin's voice rang out, and arms grew from the ship, catching the cannonballs in the air and causing them to deviate slightly from their original trajectory, landing on the sea beside them. Then the arms quickly disappeared.

A bead of sweat appeared on Robin's forehead, her chest heaving. Chen Fan hadn't been able to appreciate this beautiful sight. She wondered if he would regret it when Chen Fan found out. It had been going on for far too long; Robin had used her Devil Fruit powers many times, and her stamina was already extremely depleted.
