Blackbeard Teach, successfully contained!
"Hahaha!"
Storm couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of Blackbeard Teach's pained expression.
"Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, your 'capacity' is nothing more than this!"
Why be so serious?
Capacity? Seriousness?
Blackbeard Teach was utterly speechless.
The White Dragon Emperor... is indeed insane beyond belief!
"Forget it, you're really not interesting to me right now."
Storm manipulated the clay tentacles to return Lafitte to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's back.
"This 'cat and Nezumi's game needs to end!"
Blackbeard Teach paused, instinctively reaching for his last "chip"—the Sand Crocodile.
White Dragon Emperor, you bastard, don't you really care about the lives of your "friends"?
But Blackbeard Teach hadn't even had a chance to voice his question.
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Storm's body.
With his Nine-Star Conqueror's Haki at full power, streaks of black and red electricity danced wildly in the air like demonic serpents from the depths of hell, vying to attack Blackbeard Teach and Sand Crocodile, whom he held in his grasp.
It was just a fleeting glance.
Blackbeard Teach had no time to react before being struck by a dense barrage of black and red electric arcs.
Boom--
It was as if a bolt from the blue had struck Blackbeard Teach's mind.
Faced with such powerful [Conqueror's Haki], his entire brain's thinking speed was severely affected, and he almost fainted.
Not only that.
Blackbeard Teach also felt a heavy, almost tangible pressure on his body.
It was as if an entire mountain was pressing down on his body; his feet were even forced into the ground, causing the earth to crack and shatter. The powerful pressure directly translated into actual destructive force.
The large dark area that Blackbeard Teach just created using the power of the [Dark-Dark Fruit]...
Faced with the powerful suppression effect of Nine-Star [Conqueror's Haki], this dark area rapidly shrank until it completely retracted into Blackbeard Teach's body.
Mental suppression, physical suppression, ability suppression...
Storm only released a burst of [Conqueror's Haki].
Blackbeard Teach was then completely unable to resist.
As Storm just said.
At this stage, Blackbeard Teach is so weak that he has no interest in him whatsoever.
Blackbeard Teach felt as if he were trapped in a dark swamp from which he could not escape, with a constant, terrifying pressure coming from all directions, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
This moment.
Blackbeard Teach could no longer control Sand Crocodile.
He himself was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river—no.
A clay idol crossing the sea—it can't even save itself!
"Ah--"
Blackbeard Teach mustered his strength and roared hysterically, like a mad beast driven to the brink of despair.
And in the next instant...
A formidable aura also erupted from Blackbeard Teach's body, with wisps and strands of black and red electric arcs emanating from him.
"Is this [Conqueror's Haki]?"
Storm raised an eyebrow and immediately recognized the ability that Blackbeard Teach was using.
But if he remembered correctly, Blackbeard Teach had never seemed to have displayed his [Conqueror's Haki].
Even during the highest-level Summit War, Blackbeard Teach never used [Conqueror's Haki].
But what if Blackbeard Teach didn't have the talent for [Conqueror's Haki]...?
This is clearly abnormal.
As a Pirate Emperor, as a "destined villain".
Blackbeard Teach's talent is so exceptional that it's truly rare to find someone like him on the high seas!
Even though [Conqueror's Haki] is said to be a "king's talent" that only one in a million people possesses.
But even a pirate like Blackbeard Teach doesn't have [Conqueror's Haki].
So, all those Conqueror's Haki users in the New World, who are as numerous as carp crossing a river, are undoubtedly a joke!
'So, was Blackbeard Teach forced to Awakening his Conqueror's Haki under the suppression of my [Conqueror's Haki]?'
Storm believed his guess was probably the truth.
Even if Blackbeard Teach unexpectedly Awakening [Conqueror's Haki].
Storm showed no sign of worry.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his Nine-Star [Conqueror's Haki] began to coalesce under his control.
In the face of truly top-tier [Conqueror's Haki].
Blackbeard Teach's newly Awakening Conqueror's Haki was as fragile as paper, and was instantly suppressed and destroyed.
Streaks of black and red electricity formed an almost impenetrable energy net, which tightly bound Blackbeard Teach within it.
Sand Crocodile, who was in Blackbeard Teach's hands, was also affected and became a "target" of the "Conqueror's Haki Net".
However, Sand Crocodile was in poor condition, had already passed out long before Storm released his [Conqueror's Haki].
Blackbeard Teach appeared utterly weak in the face of his [Conqueror's Haki].
But Sand Crocodile's performance was far worse than Blackbeard Teach's!
The Sand Crocodile, already unconscious, could not possibly fall unconscious a second time.
Even Blackbeard Teach, after struggling for a short while, was forcibly knocked unconscious by Storm's [Conqueror's Haki].
A Big Trophy surrounded by stars suddenly appeared in the void before Storm's eyes.
[Star Trophy: Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach]
[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★]
Storm glanced at the [Star Trophy: Blackbeard Teach] and silently put it away.
At the same time, his [Conqueror's Haki] was also withdrawn.
Storm was already mentally prepared for Blackbeard Teach's strength.
But when he actually saw the [Star Trophy], he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Is this Blackbeard Teach's Big Trophy?
That's so lame!
But Storm thought about it carefully.
Blackbeard Teach made his debut after leaving the Whitebeard Pirates.
He's either getting humiliated or on his way to getting humiliated.
Even if just a second ago he obtained the [Tremor-Tremor Fruit], becoming an unprecedented dual Devil Fruit User.
The next second, Blackbeard Teach, along with the entire Blackbeard Pirates, was almost slapped to pieces by the Fleet Admiral.
Blackbeard Teach is truly a rare and unique kind of villainous pirate.
He should be very strong, but he always gives people the feeling of being weak.
Storm even knew one more thing.
In the future, Blackbeard Teach will lead his crew to intercept the Heart Pirates.
As a result, even with almost half of the Blackbeard Pirates attacking, they almost couldn't defeat Bepo.
That's right.
It's Bepo, the mascot of the Heart Pirates, whose bounty is a staggering 1500 Beli —the one who can bring the entire crew down with just a single sentence!
'Tsk! It's a [Star Trophy] after all!'
Storm shook his head, casually conjured a nearly enclosed clay cage, and then sent the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the nearby sea to fill the clay cage.
Immediately afterwards.
Blackbeard Teach was then thrown into the clay cage by Storm.
Storm did indeed have his eye on Blackbeard Teach's [Dark-Dark Fruit].
However, Blackbeard Teach was also the "bait" he used to lure the Whitebeard Pirates.
Now is not the time to kill Blackbeard Teach and seize the Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit.
Lock this guy up first!
Storm wasn't quite sure how well Blackbeard Teach had developed the Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit, nor was he certain whether the Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit could actually counter the "creations" of Devil Fruit.
But one thing he was certain of was that the [Dark-Dark Fruit] absolutely could not resist seawater!
This is an inherent flaw in all Devil Fruit!
Storm sent Blackbeard Teach, cage and all, into the "Void Great Prison," then looked at Lafitte standing to the side.
Blackbeard Teach needs to spare his life for now.
But there's no need for Lafitte.
Storm grabbed Lafitte, twisted him casually, and snapped Lafitte neck as easily as breaking a blade of grass.
A blood-red trophy leaped out of the void.
Storm merely glanced at the trophy before putting it away.
A four-star Death Golden Trophy...
This thing isn't just useless, it's utterly useless!
In comparison.
The [Mythical Zoan -type Siren Fruit] is still more valuable.
Storm, carrying Lafitte's corpse, used the power of the [Demon Ring] to extract the remaining Devil Fruit power from the body of the Blackbeard Pirates' navigator.
A moment later.
A rare and extraordinary Devil Fruit was reborn in Storm's hands.
[Zoan, Human- Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Siren Form]!
"Another Mythical Zoan form of the Human-Human Fruit..."
Storm suddenly remembered the blue-nosed reindeer in the Drum Kingdom.
"Shivering and cold, when will ordinary people be able to stand up again?"
Cough cough.
Storm placed the reborn [Mythical Zoan -type Siren Fruit] into his "Treasure of the King" and stored it away.
He personally felt that the quality of the [Siren Fruit] was quite good.
Although the [Siren Fruit] doesn't allow you to play with fire...
But the [Siren Fruit] allows you to fly!
Furthermore, it possesses an extremely wide range of hypnotic abilities.
The only problem is that this Devil Fruit has a rather strict gender requirement.
Suitable only for women...
Storm thought back to the women he knew.
If we set aside race...
Storm thought Shirahoshi would be a good fit to eat the [Siren Fruit].
Unfortunately, I can't let it go...
Moreover, as a [Sea King] of his generation.
If Shirahoshi eats the [Siren Fruit], she will become a landlubber who cannot swim.
For details, please refer to Vander Deiken IX.
"This [Siren Fruit] is indeed not suitable for Shirahoshi... Let's keep it for now!"
Storm cleared his mind of distractions and looked at the last living person on the island.
"Crocodile, wake up! You've been sunbathing for too long!"
The Sand Crocodile showed no reaction whatsoever.
Storm thought for a moment and then rephrased it.
"Crocodile, Whitebeard is going to be killed by the Marines!"
"What!?"
Based on available information, Blackbeard Teach does not possess [Conqueror's Haki].
Even his Vivre Card doesn't indicate that he has Conqueror's Haki.
It's really quite strange...
In addition.
About Lafitte.
This person's [Siren Fruit] is a secondary concept in this book.
It's not entirely certain what Lafitte's Devil Fruit ability is at the moment.
There are only two references: wings and hypnosis.
It roughly matches the characteristics of the Siren.
Above.
One more update, probably around midnight.
