A Punch Fueled by Rage

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Teach appeared, with a young and calm face, deep eyes, and an aura of boundless Haki.

The superior position placed immense pressure on the five CP0 members. What did this pressure represent? They knew it represented a significant gap in strength between them, a chasm between heaven and earth.

This sense of pressure was even greater than the pressure exerted on them by the two deputy chiefs of staff.

Its majestic aura, without any deliberate display of Conqueror's Haki, still sends shivers down one's spine.

When one's strength reaches a superhuman level, one's own life magnetic field will have an influence on others.

Magnetic fields are difficult to describe, especially since they are not naturally occurring.

The terrifying Observation Haki that Pito were due to the influence of magnetic fields.

The most concrete manifestation of a magnetic field is the generation of electricity from magnetism, and Conqueror's Haki is the most representative of this. Whether it is a clash of Conqueror's Haki or a entanglement of Conqueror's Haki, the extremely powerful magnetic field can generate powerful black and red lightning.

The appearance of multiple CP0 members and Teach's entrance truly ignited the entire world, elevating the overall combat power of the war to a whole new level.

"It's him." Below, Laimer, who was fighting, transformed into his Human-Beast Form and punched his opponent away. He thought to himself, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

At an altitude of thousands of meters, Teach's eyesight was not good enough to see Teach clearly.

But he knew it was Teach. He had a very clear impression of Teach. His two older brothers died at Teach's hands, and if it weren't for the powerful life force brought by the Ancient Species Devil Fruit ability, he might have died too.

He had mixed feelings about Teach; he didn't hate him. The difference in their strength prevented him from feeling hatred, let alone seeking revenge.

Although his two blood relatives died at Teach's hands, he survived because Teach spared his life. In the end, he even benefited from the misfortune and joined the Beasts Pirates, embarking on the path he longed for.

Kaido's arrival in the Kate Kingdom was orchestrated by someone, and that person was Teach. Laimer knew this, and he told Kaido as well.

In some ways, Teach was Kaido's benefactor. At the time, Teach was young and inexperienced, and his strength was far from comparable to Kaido's. Although he used Kaido, it also gave him a foothold and allowed him to develop rapidly.

This is also the basis of their cooperation. Although pirates are not trustworthy and often go back on their word, gratitude is very important and will be remembered.

Over the course of eight years, he grew stronger and became All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates, earning the nickname "Disaster."

Teach, on the other hand, was even more terrifying, making him unattainable.

"Here's a little gift for you," Teach chuckled softly, not taking them seriously. The only slightly troublesome ones were the "Gentleman" and the CP0 member wearing the red mask, who possessed Admiral- level combat power.

However, his ample resources and near-perfect development capabilities make him fearless of any opponent.

Teach raised his hand, darkness swirling in his palm, and at the tips of his five fingers, spheres of extremely dark energy condensed, like miniature Black Hole.

The moment they appeared, the expressions of the five CP0 members changed, the others stared wide-eyed, and some revealed a knowing look.

There has been a lot of research on Teach, from battle footage to expert analysis. Many people have compiled information on the Dark-Dark Fruit's abilities and techniques.

This move, Teach has not publicly named or given a name to, only appeared once during the Expo, where it instantly killed the "Crescent Hunter," Catarina Depon, who possessed powerful Mythical Zoan abilities and was disrupting order at the Expo.

Devon was devoured and killed without any resistance; the terrifying power even shook the space itself.

This was impressive; an incredibly terrifying move, one that no one dared to challenge the power of space.

In the square of a town somewhere in the world, a large number of residents gathered together, some standing and some sitting, to watch the battle footage.

The moment this move appeared, a young boy stood up and exclaimed excitedly:

"It's the Explosive Space Distortion Samsara Devouring Pill!"

In the relatively quiet atmosphere, the voice echoed throughout the square, drawing countless gazes to him.

What a delusional teenager! The others looked at him with amusement in their eyes.

"Idiot, this is the Ultimate Super Mini Small Star of Ruin!" someone nearby retorted. To some, it was a miniature Star of Ruin, since the effect was very similar.

The two children argued over the name and almost came to blows, but the continued exposure of the video kept them focused on it.

"Get out of the way!" the CP0 member with the red mask shouted. The sheer terror and power contained within this power was something even he dared not withstand. He didn't believe that Armament Haki alone could stop such power.

The five people scattered in an instant, heading in five different directions.

Five small dark orbs gently slid from Teach's fingertips, and under the influence of gravity, they flew towards the five CP0 members.

At the same time, extreme gravity acted on the five people's bodies, trying to restrict them, since although this move was powerful, it was relatively slow.

The five small Black Hole are unstable and need to be controlled; they might explode if the speed increases.

With their combined strength, the two CP0 members, who were stronger, were able to move slowly, while the remaining three were completely unable to dodge and were lifted into the air.

Moving in the air is inherently slower, and there's no way to gain leverage compared to being on land, plus Teach's limitations.

The dark sphere, manipulated by gravity, has a tracking function, slowly gliding through the air as it approaches.

"Strike! Detonate it ahead of time!" With their powerful combat awareness and recalling the effects of this move, the leader of CP0 reacted immediately and found the possible weakness in this move.

Even if it has no effect, we must take action; only by taking action can we have a chance to survive.

Having come this far as a member of CP0, I don't know how many life-or-death experiences I've gone through to get to where I am today.

He began undergoing rigorous training and killing from a young age, constantly pushing his limits and rising from among numerous agents through the brutal training of the World Government.

They are the least afraid of death, but at the same time, they are the most unwilling to die and do not want to die.

As they spoke, the five resisted the pressure on their bodies and attacked together, each displaying their unique skills.

The Gentleman swung his sword at the dark sphere, a sharp strike that landed directly on the miniature Black Hole.

The moment they touched, the stable balance of the dark sphere was shattered, and it expanded instantly, forming a small Black Hole that emitted endless gravity and devoured everything.

The powerful slash was directly twisted and swallowed up, leaving no ripple and unable to shake the entire attack.

"Finger Pistol!" They were all martial arts masters proficient in the Six Powers. As a long-range attack technique, the Finger Pistol was highly practical and powerful, so naturally many people learned and mastered it.

A shooting-type Shigan that fires crescent-shaped air bullets by striking the air with your fingers.

It streaked through the air in an instant, shooting towards the approaching dark sphere.

Long-range attacks are indeed the best way to counter this move, but there's one thing: the movement of these dark orbs is under Teach's gravitational pull.

The best way to counter this move is actually with wide-range attacks, such as vibrations, shocks, or sonic waves, which can detonate prematurely as long as they touch a point.

Although the Finger Pistol is powerful, its range is small. It is essentially a shooting move, and it is most effective when used in a sneak attack.

Teach wouldn't let them hit her; her Observation Haki had already locked onto them.

Observation Haki that can sense aura, especially Observation Haki with a wide range, are actually very rare. More than 90% of people observe using their own eyes.

This is a habit, and the use of Observation Haki is mostly in combat.

While it may seem that Pito are several Night Pirates with wide-ranging Observation Haki like Teach, they are actually very rare on the high seas.

Observation Haki is largely determined by talent and the tempering of life and death. Improvement comes from battle, so naturally it leans towards combat. Since people's experience is very limited, very few choose the support role.

Just like in the original story, the Blackbeard Pirates hid behind the Marine Headquarters building without anyone noticing.

While it's true that everyone is focused on the battle and their enemy—after all, the requirement for using Observation Haki is calmness and concentration—it also shows that such Observation Haki is rare.

Two Black Hole appeared and grew larger, swallowing the air bullets for a while before disappearing as black dots.

The other two dark spheres, under Teach's control, evaded the Finger Pistol and flew towards the two CP0 members.

Seeing this, the two CP0 members raised their arms without saying a word, and like playing the piano, their fingers struck the air repeatedly, firing Finger Pistol at the dark sphere.

They also realized that the power of the Finger Pistol wasn't important, so they didn't bother charging it up.

Before they made their move, a red light flashed deep within Teach's pupils, revealing a glimpse into the distant future and the trajectory of each Finger Pistol.

The future is constantly changing, and as the dark sphere moves, the trajectory of the Finger Pistol also changes in Teach's eyes.

The limitations of gravity maximized their effect in the air, but on the ground, the effect was not as strong, and they were perfectly capable of moving under the pressure.

The biggest mistake was going into the air.

Knowing the future clearly, how could they escape Teach's grasp? If they hadn't separated, they could have complemented each other, but alas, there are no "ifs."

The dark sphere pierced directly through the Finger Pistol, exploding in an instant before their despairing eyes.

Space collapsed, and endless gravity devoured and twisted it. One of the CP0 members was directly swallowed up, his entire body was torn and stretched by gravity, and his clothes were ripped apart.

The other one reacted quickly, kicking the air ahead of time, causing an impact that slammed into the dark sphere.

However, due to the close proximity, he was still drawn in by the endless gravitational pull and found it even more difficult to break free.

However, at the edge of the gravitational field's influence, his kicking foot was held back by gravity.

To save his own life, he acted decisively, slashing his own thigh with a chop the instant he felt the pull of gravity.

Blood was everywhere, and he was enduring the pain of a severed leg, which he had torn apart himself, and was sucked into a small Black Hole by gravity.

Losing a leg renders a person practically useless. For a strong person, legs are undoubtedly more important than arms, and their ability to fight is questionable.

Kyros the future, with his missing leg, was truly a freak, but he is now dead.

The air grew heavy. Before the battle had even truly begun, half of the eight CP0 members had been lost, and one had even lost a leg.

"Let's go." The red-masked CP0 was very decisive. In the air, they were no match for Teach and would be easily defeated.

Fighting someone skilled in aerial combat and stronger than yourself is practically suicide, isn't it?

Teach's weakness, besides the seawater, is the double pain, but they don't think they can break through Teach's absolute defense.

Remaining rational and making the best decision, the red-masked CP0 member and the Gentleman each carried one CP0 member away from Teach's gravitational pull, their bodies plummeting downwards.

Seeing this, Teach followed closely behind. He wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by; if he wanted to escape, he'd have to be able to get away.

"I'll hold him off." Sweat beaded on the Gentleman's forehead as he stepped forward, his body still in a falling posture. He swung his longsword, unleashing a series of sharp, blood-red slashes that instantly engulfed Teach's vision in crimson.

The aura of slaughter was so intense that an ordinary person would likely be unable to move, or even suffer a mental breakdown.

Teach was completely unaffected, his figure moving left and right in mid-air, weaving through the slashes and sword shadows.

Several slashes came head-on, but Teach's mind stirred, and a black Dark Jade appeared, transforming into a hemispherical shield to block them.

Only slight sword marks were left on the Dark Jade, which quickly returned to normal.

How to deal with an enemy whose defenses are impenetrable? They were not prepared to face Teach before this.

The pirates might have a trump card; they've considered it to be a well-known Great Pirate in the New World, a core member of a top-tier pirate crew, or one of the few overlord-level Great Pirate besides the Four Emperors and the Dark Lord.

But when they fought Teach, they never considered the difference in strength. Just as in the air, even combined they were no match for Alastair; at night, even together they were no match for Rediat; and on land, even together they were no match for Gaia.

Given the difference in combat power and the nature of their abilities, they would absolutely be no match for the Dark Emperor, even if they returned to the ground, because they would be unable to break through Teach's defenses.

Back on land, they planned to deal with the other pirates, leaving Dark Emperor Teach to the other two who were hiding. They would appear soon; with Teach's arrival, one of them would definitely appear, or even both of them.

It wouldn't take long for Teach to fall from such a height; the Gentleman's strike undoubtedly created some resistance, slowing Teach descent.

The four CP0 members arrived on the ground and gathered together; they needed to work together to deal with the Dark Emperor.

Teach, however, suddenly stopped falling, hovering in mid-air, and turned his gaze to one side.

A powerful, beast-like aura was drawing ever closer, and a terrifying burst of power streaked across the sky like a meteor.

"Teach!" A startled shout rang out, and a tall, strong figure appeared before Teach the moment Teach stopped.

This is Kong, the Supreme Commander of the World Government's Armed Forces. He is the World Government's trump card and reserve force prepared to prevent any unforeseen events in this war, and he is also the strongest one.

Although I knew Sora was there, I had been focusing my attention on the CP0 members and had been somewhat neglecting Sora.

In reality, it was distraction that weakened his perception, and Teach didn't realize it until he got close.

This was also Teach's first time facing Kong directly. Even though he had a rough idea of Kong's strength, he still underestimated it.

It was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Teach didn't even have time to react. The terrifying explosive force and the astonishing speed brought about by the powerful punch slammed straight towards Teach.

Dark Jade instinctively blocked in front of him, and the punch slammed directly onto Dark Jade. The air exploded instantly, and the collision of the fist and Dark Jade generated a strong gust of wind. The shells that the two sides were firing at were forced to stop and exploded far from their destinations. The billowing smoke that filled the entire battlefield was blown away in an instant, and even the light became much brighter.

However, in just one breath, Teach's expression changed, and the hard Dark Jade trembled, cracks appearing, which could not be repaired under the terrifying force of the void.

The next moment, the entire Dark Jade defense shattered. It should be noted that this was the fusion of four Dark Jade that Teach could control. Its hardness could not be changed, but it was thicker and harder to destroy.

Sora's terrifying Haki and his Armament Haki, honed through countless trials, terrified Teach, making it impossible for Teach to control the Dark Jade to regain his grip on Sora's arm.

This punch came head-on with terrifying power, a fist as hard as steel. It was Kong's furious strike, a full-force attack. How could he hold back against a threat like Teach? Since he was going to make a move, he would naturally go all out.

The moment Teach appeared, he wanted to make a move, but Teach's actions were too fast, killing three CP0 members instantly, and at an altitude of over a thousand meters.

Coupled with Teach's terrifying Observation Haki, he had been cautious and carefully concealed his presence until Teach descended from the sky and the two were close enough that he unleashed his power.

The loss of four CP0 members was enormous, and even Sora felt a pang of heartache. Each CP0 member was extremely valuable, and to die so easily made Sora very angry.

Teach suppressed his inner shock, crossed his arms in front of him, and an aura of Haki flowed around him, forming an invisible armor.

Boom!

The punch landed squarely on Teach, creating a deafening explosion, and Teach was sent flying like an arrow.

The intense pain caused Teach's forehead veins to throb, and even Dark Jade was slightly out of control. Cracks had appeared in the forearm bones of both arms, and some of them were even broken.

Uncontrollably, the body flew backward at high speed, the powerful impact slamming directly onto the ice surface. The entire ice surface cracked due to the terrifying force, leaving a huge fissure in its wake.

It's unknown how many people were affected by Teach's attack; the powerful impact alone sent many flying.

Teach sank deeper and deeper into the ice, eventually disappearing completely beneath the surface, sending up a huge splash.

What happened? It happened so fast that many people didn't even have time to react.
