Blackbeard Teach's Movements

Unfolding a nautical chart of the entire sea area, this place is nothing more than an insignificant, tiny dot, remote and barren, so much so that even seabirds that follow the sea in search of food are unwilling to linger here.

But the deserted island at this moment has long lost its original desolate and peaceful appearance.

The entire island seemed to be held in the palm of an invincible giant, repeatedly crushed, ground, and torn apart.

The hard reefs along the coast all crumbled and shattered into jagged pebbles, stretching into a messy mudflat.

The hill in the center of the island was half-crushed, with layers of broken rocks and debris piled up, leaving a scene of devastation.

The ground was riddled with huge craters, each over ten feet deep, and a dense network of cracks crisscrossed the land like a spider web.

It's not hard to imagine the ferocious battle and terrifying brute force that just took place here, turning a complete island into ruins.

The remaining crew members of the Blackbeard Pirates lay Crooked among the rubble, all wounded and in a sorry state.

Each faint breath carried a heavy, pungent smell of blood, permeating the damp sea breeze.

Jesus Burgess leaned against a huge, cracked rock, his left arm twisted and hanging down in a bizarre way. The bones were already broken, and he had completely lost the ability to move. He could only grit his teeth and endure the excruciating pain.

Van Oka clutched his prized spear, its usually precise shaft bearing several dents from the brute force, the cold, hard metal bent and deformed, a testament to the ferocity of the battle just now.

Doc Q lay on the back of its mount, Stronger, coughing violently. Each cough was heart-wrenching, as if it were coughing up its internal organs. Its frail body swayed precariously.

In the very center of these ruins lies a colossal, awe-inspiring body.

Its imposing body, over ten meters tall, is somewhere between an ape and a human, with powerful and fierce lines.

Its entire body was covered with a layer of thick, dark gold hair, and its layers of bulging muscles rose high, as if they were cast from refined steel that had been forged through countless hammer blows, exuding an ultimate sense of power.

The thick fist was covered with large patches of dried, dark red blood, mottled and interwoven, containing both the blood of the Blackbeard Pirates and its own injuries.

Even though he had completely lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, the immense pressure emanating from his body still enveloped the entire area, preventing the wounded pirates from moving an inch.

Teach slowly walked to the giant ape's head, looking down at the enormous, dying face.

His captain's uniform was torn in several places, the fabric tattered and worn. Blood clung to the corner of his lips, and he was disheveled, yet showed no sign of weakness. In his single remaining eye, an almost manic ecstasy and extreme greed surged, impossible to suppress.

The next second, a signature, rough, maniacal laugh suddenly erupted, echoing across the entire desolate island ruins and piercing through the howling sea wind.

"Thief hahaha! Thief hahaha!"

"Found it! I finally found it!"

Teach opened his arms wide, as if wanting to embrace the ravaged island and this hard-won opportunity, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Zoan! Gorilla-Gorilla Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Titan Giant Form! I've searched across most of the New World, and today, I've finally dug you out!"

He knew better than anyone that this Devil Fruit was ultimately no match for Kaido's Azure Dragon Mythical Zoan.

While the Titan Giant ' extreme brute strength and top-tier physical defense are undeniably formidable, they lack the all-encompassing attributes of the Azure Dragon Fruit, which combines offense and defense, allows them to summon wind and rain, and control the heavens and earth.

His long-planned ultimate goal was to seize Kaido's strongest Mythical Zoan and use it to reach the top of the sea.

But who could have predicted that Madara Uchiha, delivered mid-air, would shatter Kaido's dominance and completely sever his long-dormant ambitions and plans?

But so what?

Mythical Zoan are the rarest and most powerful Devil Fruits pyramid, each containing terrifying power capable of turning the tide of battle.

With this Titan Giant Fruit, his combat power will undergo a qualitative leap.

Even though they still couldn't directly confront the incredibly powerful Uchiha clan, it was enough to allow the Blackbeard Pirates, who had been in decline for a long time, to regain their footing in the dangerous New World.

The maniacal laughter subsided, and Teach lowered his eyes to stare at the massive body at his feet, which still retained a trace of life. A cruel and greedy smile slowly spread across his lips.

"Jesus Burgess, hold it down."

At his command, Jesus Burgess gritted his teeth and, supporting his broken body, used his still intact right arm to press down hard on the giant's shoulder, locking him in place.

Doc Q shakily raised his hand and pulled out a bag of specially prepared apples from his pocket, his fingertips trembling morbidly.

Van Augur and Lafitte stepped forward simultaneously, firmly supporting the giant's thick, mountain-like arms from both sides, completely sealing off any room for struggle.

Everyone is in position.

Teach crouched down and carefully pulled an ordinary apple from his inner pocket—his trump card, which he had kept close to his body throughout his journey across the seas.

He placed the apple firmly on the giant's warm chest, his movements both solemn and sinister.

The next instant, he raised his hand and drew the flintlock pistol from his waist, pressing the black muzzle firmly against the giant's temple. Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

A deafening gunshot shattered the silence of the deserted island, startling a few seabirds hiding among the distant rocks, which flapped their wings and fled in panic.

The smoke slowly dissipated.

The giant's faint breathing ceased completely, and his massive body instantly lost all life.

And that ordinary apple that had been resting on his chest began to twist, swell, and transform at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The simple fruit peel has layers of undulating patterns, and a deep dark golden texture slowly emerges and spreads, flowing with a mysterious luster unique to the Mythical Zoan.

A brand new, top-tier Devil Fruits has thus been formed.

Teach raised the Devil Fruit high above his head, his lone eyes fully illuminated by the dark golden light flowing from his palm. The fervor and sinister intent in his eyes intertwined, revealing a chilling and eerie quality.

His pirate crew never hit rock bottom.

On the contrary, from this moment on, the Blackbeard crew, who had been silent for a long time, once again possessed the terrifying power to stir up trouble in the New World world, with Mythical Zoan in their hands.

Without the slightest hesitation, Teach raised his hand and stuffed the Mythical Zoan Fruit, which was surrounded by dark gold patterns, into his mouth, then bit down hard.

The moment the fruit bursts open, a strange, fishy, and astringent taste, unique to Devil Fruits, instantly fills the mouth. It's pungent and nauseating, and anyone who tastes it will instinctively wince and vomit.

Ke Teach seemed completely oblivious to the discomfort, chewing quickly and forcefully, his Adam's apple bobbing violently. In just a few moments, he swallowed the entire Devil Fruit cleanly and efficiently, without the slightest hesitation.

The next second, a surge of power suddenly exploded deep within his abdominal cavity.
