Geldzak's Death
"That's the advantage of intelligence. I won't hesitate to tell you. I'm the nemesis of ability users, and I have the ability to nullify their abilities." Teach said calmly, looking at the somewhat flustered Geldzak.
Looking at the pale and even somewhat panicked Geldzak, he realized that his confident plan had failed. He hadn't expected Teach's abilities to be so terrifying; how could such abilities possibly exist in this world?
An uproar erupted around them. The nemesis of ability users is that their abilities are nullified. Among these criminals who were able to enter the Infinite Hell, there were quite a few ability users.
Although I know some of Teach's deeds, they are only the general events that happened at sea. How could they be described in detail, including Teach's specific abilities and techniques?
Undeniably, Geldzak is now somewhat panicked. In his current state, how could he possibly be a match for Teach? If it were Teach in his prime, it would be fine, but even if he were worse off, the difference wouldn't be that significant.
And now, Teach's abilities are so unpredictable. He always plans carefully before acting, hiding behind the scenes to find out information about the people he wants to target. The current situation is definitely disadvantageous for him.
At that moment, Geldzak wanted to escape, but Teach wasn't about to give him the chance.
He rushed forward in an instant, ignoring Nelson. Nelson's Dark Water touched him, temporarily rendering him unable to use his abilities. Although this event only lasted for a second or two, it was more than enough for a powerful individual like Teach.
Teach, like a raging dragon, unleashed a powerful burst of energy, appearing directly in front of Geldzak with an unstoppable momentum and a powerful aura that seemed to distort the air around him.
The speed was so fast that Geldzak's expression changed. This was beyond his expectations, and he didn't even have time to use his usual method of threatening people to make Nelson take the sword and commit suicide.
Having not exercised for a long time, Geldzak's body had become somewhat rusty, and even his fighting instincts were almost gone. However, he still had a strong sense of crisis. The main problem was that his current body could not unleash even half of his peak power.
This is an attack he cannot dodge now, but Geldzak still has the ability.
In that instant, Geldzak directly used his abilities to control his own body, performing actions that he was originally unable to do.
Geldzak unleashed a speed beyond the limits of his current physical capabilities. Since it was the limit, it was something his body could not withstand, and it would cause some damage to his body.
With a "crack!" sound, Geldzak took two steps back, turning his body slightly as if trying to dodge Teach's attack.
"My eyes have already seen the future, old man." Teach's voice rang in Geldzak's ears, causing his pupils to contract sharply. His consciousness had already reacted, but his rusty body was still somewhat sluggish. He used his ability again to control his body and raised his arms to shield his chest.
Teach wouldn't give this guy any chance; his God-like perspective, Future Sight, had already seen everything clearly.
He rushed in front of Geldzak and delivered a powerful knee strike, carrying terrifying force.
A flash of black light appeared on Geldzak's arms as he was enveloped in Armament Haki. Facing Teach, he clearly sensed a tremendous threat, a premonition ingrained by instinct.
Teach smiled coldly at Geldzak's appearance, noting his weak Armament Haki. Although Geldzak's Armament Haki was not bad, it had not yet reached the level of top-tier internal destruction.
Given his current state, neither the quality nor the quantity of his Haki presence is at its peak; how can we possibly withstand him?
The air exploded in an instant, and layers of shockwaves spread outwards from them toward the Infinite Hell.
Geldzak gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, but even so, his arms were trembling, and at the same time, his legs were slowly moving backward in the face of Teach's powerful strength.
"Old man, is this all the strength you've got?" Teach chuckled softly.
The next moment, Geldzak finally couldn't hold on any longer. His arms bent and snapped with a cracking sound. Faced with Teach's immense strength, Geldzak's fragile body was no match for him.
Teach's knee slammed directly into Geldzak's chest. The terrifying force nearly caused him to lose his mind. The intense pain caused Geldzak to cough up a mouthful of blood.
His entire chest seemed to have caved in, and the sound of his sternum cracking could be faintly heard.
Geldzak's body flew backward violently, breaking through the sturdy bars of the cage behind him, and then crashing directly into the wall.
Impel Down was built using very hard materials, including not only Seastone but also other hard ores, in order to prevent anyone from digging Impel Down to escape.
Impel Down is located in the Calm Belt and is surrounded by countless Sea Kings. Except when they are asleep, the Sea King occasionally attack Impel Down, but Impel Down stands firm and remains undamaged.
One can imagine just how impregnable Impel Down must be.
Nevertheless, Geldzak still managed to smash a large crater into the wall, leaving it riddled with cracks.
Teach's domineering and absolute power was fully displayed before the other criminals around him. This was his true display of power, and by comparing themselves, they could see whether they could withstand this attack.
Even those powerful figures dared not underestimate Teach.
It's normal that Geldzak hasn't completely lost his fighting ability. Although he's somewhat weak now, it would be too pathetic if he were killed by Teach in one blow, making Teach doubt his strength.
However, Teach wouldn't give him the chance. This guy was a menace since he'd provoked him; letting him go would only cause him a lot of trouble.
It's best to eliminate such troublesome factors as soon as possible.
At the same time, Teach also took a liking to Geldzak's ability to Control-Control Fruit, which was undoubtedly an extremely powerful ability.
Geldzak wanted to escape. He sensed the intense killing intent emanating from Teach, which had severely injured him with a single blow. If he didn't run, he really wouldn't be able to escape.
In reality, he couldn't escape. The moment he made a move, he found his body seemingly locked and grabbed by something, unable to resist, and passively moved forward in mid-air.
"What's going on?" Geldzak's brow furrowed involuntarily; this feeling, as if his body was out of his control, was an ominous premonition.
Geldzak, who enjoys controlling others, never imagined that he would have such an experience himself.
Looking at Teach, Teach right hand had been stained as black as ink at some point, and it was emanating an eerie black aura. Teach's palm was facing Geldzak, and his hand was shaped like a claw.
An endless gravitational pull emanated from Teach's palm.
"Dark Water!"
The power within Geldzak was captured and locked by Teach's Dark Water, and he was unable to resist flying toward Teach. Teach's hand directly grabbed Geldzak's neck, holding him firmly like an iron lock.
Geldzak was powerless to resist, and soon he discovered a terrifying fact: his abilities had failed, or rather, been sealed.
However, it did not disappear; he could still feel the presence of his own power within him.
Thinking back to Teach had just said about the nemesis of ability users, he finally understood what that meant. But now, experiencing it firsthand, he couldn't help but feel genuine fear.
He had just gained his freedom, but at this moment it seemed he was about to lose it again. No, what terrified him even more than freedom was death.
Fear flashed in his eyes; he tried to struggle, opening his mouth as if to speak, his will to survive palpable.
But he couldn't say anything; his neck was tightly restrained by Teach, and Geldzak's eyes widened.
Teach wouldn't give him a chance, nor did he want to hear anything else from him.
Teach's immense strength nearly suffocated Geldzak.
Later, Geldzak's power failed, and Nelson regained his senses from being controlled. He was somewhat confused, not knowing what had just happened or what he had done, but he quickly guessed that he had been controlled by Geldzak's power again.
Seeing that Geldzak had been captured by Teach, he knew that Teach had saved him. If it weren't for Teach, he didn't know what he would have done, and he might have remained Geldzak's puppet forever.
"Damn Geldzak, how dare he control me!" A loud curse came from the side.
It turns out he wasn't the only one being controlled; before Geldzak made his move against Nelson, he had secretly manipulated several prisoners in Infinite Hell.
Their abilities failed at that moment, and they all regained consciousness.
They glared at Geldzak with intense hatred, their fists clenched tightly. However, they were no match for Geldzak, and seeing Geldzak current predicament, they couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
The other criminals were shocked. The infamous "Man-Manipulator" had been captured by Teach just like that. Everyone knew that Geldzak was beyond saving and that Teach would not let him go so easily.
He was already weaker than Teach in his original state, and now that he's been captured by Teach, he can't even use his most reliable ability. How can he possibly survive in Teach's hands?
Unless Teach is willing to let him go, which is impossible, even they wouldn't let someone like Geldzak go, especially since he could pose a huge threat to them.
"Old man, you should just die," Teach said coldly, looking at Geldzak.
"No..." Teach's voice reached his ears like a death knell. Geldzak struggled with all his might, but the word he uttered was cut short.
"Click!"
Geldzak's head lolled to the side, his neck snapped by Teach. Despite this, Geldzak's body, though weakened, still possessed an inhumanly powerful physique. Geldzak was not truly dead; though his neck was broken, he was still breathing faintly.
Immediately afterwards, boundless darkness surged from Teach's palm, engulfing Geldzak's body.
There was some silence all around. Geldzak was dead. He died before he even got out of there, killed by Teach.
Such a powerful figure, who clearly had a chance to escape, died just like that, because he offended Teach. It makes one think of the "old guy from the Old Era" that Teach spoke of. The young Teach made them feel old themselves, and a chill ran through their hearts.
Some of the older generation of powerful figures couldn't help but marvel at how formidable the younger generation was. Among them was "Werewolf" Mutu, who dared not underestimate Teach. He had lived a long time, and although he hadn't formed a pirate crew and lived alone, he hadn't lost touch with the sea. His age meant he had broad knowledge, and to have reached this level at such a young age, he had already seen Teach's immense potential, ranking him among the top monsters he had known over the years.
As a werewolf, he was extremely sensitive to the breath of life, so he could clearly sense the terrifying life force contained within Teach's body.
Hi also looked at Teach with great apprehension. Geldzak was such a monster. He lived in that era and knew how terrifying Geldzak was. However, as a former member of the Rocks Pirates, he had seen many monsters.
They were also somewhat curious. This young monster, who had once been on Pops's ship, must know a lot about the Whitebeard Pirates, but now he had become independent, using the Whitebeard Pirates as a springboard.
During his more than ten years imprisoned in Impel Down, he only had a superficial understanding of the Whitebeard Pirates. Whitebeard became one of the "Three Legendary Pirates," known as the "World's Strongest," and now he has become the Sea Emperor in the New World.
The prospect of seeing his family again stirred a mix of excitement and restlessness within Teach. He was also deeply grateful to Teach giving him this opportunity and hope.
Meanwhile, other criminals also consider Teach to be someone to be avoided, at least until they leave Impel Down.
It would be such a shame to die at Teach's hands before even escaping.
They needed Teach's strength to get out, and they were quite confident in their escape, given their large number of powerful individuals. Even though they were not in good condition, their combined strength was formidable.
Furthermore, given Teach's status and strength, coupled with the mastermind behind releasing them, he will undoubtedly be the main target of Impel Down. Impel Down's most powerful figure, and the one they fear most, Warden Essel, will certainly set his sights on Teach.
So, their main target was the two remaining young powerhouses in Impel Down.
As for the other prison guards, there's no need to worry about them at all, given their strength.
The show was over. In such a short time, this once-powerful figure had died at Teach's hands, and I was still deeply shocked.
But the most important thing now is to escape from this cage. They must hurry, because once reinforcements from the Marine Headquarters arrive, they will have little hope.
