"Blackbeard, what are you doing? Stop right now!" Gecko Moria was the first to roar.
He had already learned during the Summit War that Blackbeard possessed the Dark-Dark Fruit, which could nullify the powers of other Devil Fruit users.
However, Moria had never imagined that this suppressive power would be so overwhelming that even his zombie army could not withstand a single wave.
Although Gecko Moria could use his Devil Fruit ability to instantly summon back the shadows he had marked and return them to the zombies' bodies, restoring their mobility and combat ability, the shadows Brook had taken back meant that his greatest creation, the Dragon-Slaying Samurai Shimotsuki Ryuma, was finished.
To Moria, it was like having a chunk of flesh carved straight out of his heart.
"Hmph, Gecko Moria, you're letting a mere zombie challenge the authority of Blackbeard. If I stop now, wouldn't I be throwing my dignity away?" Blackbeard's face darkened as he roared angrily.
"Since you dare challenge the authority of Blackbeard, I'll see whether your worthless zombies can withstand my Devil Fruit power."
"I'll let you know that Blackbeard is not someone just anyone can challenge!"
Great Black Sea Tide!
Boom!
The muscles in Blackbeard's arms suddenly tensed. The instant his fingers clenched into fists, he slammed both hands down before him.
In an instant, the Devil Fruit power lurking within Blackbeard's body was pushed to its limit.
It transformed into a colossal black tidal wave hundreds of meters high and crashed down like it would blot out the sky.
The thunderous roar and incomparably fierce assault made Gecko Moria's face turn livid.
Blackbeard had directly lumped him together with Brook and branded him with that accusation.
Then, without even bothering to distinguish right from wrong, he had launched his ultimate move.
Wasn't this
