Mediation, the Blackbeard Pirates Enter the Fray!

Shiki the Second Golden Lion knew perfectly well that Shanks was deliberately offering him a way out.

His strength was already exhausted from days of fierce fighting, and with the Four Emperors blocking his way, continuing the fight would only drag him into an abyss of no return. He slightly softened the sharpness in his eyes and was about to take advantage of these words to back down and temporarily put away his weapons.

Just when everyone thought the stalemate was about to Setsuna!

At the far horizon, a jet-black streak Space Rend and roared towards them. The bullet was coated with a thick layer of dark Armament Haki and hurtled straight toward Uchiha Rin on the beach!

Bite--!

With a flash of cold light, Lin twisted her wrist, and the sword at her waist was suddenly drawn. The sharp blade slashed precisely, cutting the incoming bullet in two on the spot. The broken bullet grazed her shoulder and flew into the sand behind her, exploding into two small clouds of dust.

"Thief! Hahahaha!!"

A wild and ferocious laugh echoed throughout the entire sea and reverberated over the deserted island.

On the sea, a huge pirate ship slowly revealed itself as it broke through layers of waves.

Marshall D. Teach stood at the bow of the ship, a chilling, maniacal laugh on his face. His plans for the Summit War had failed due to the Uchiha Clan's interference, preventing him from seizing Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit. However, he had now swallowed the Mythical Zoan Great Gorilla-Gorilla Fruit, Titan Giant Form, and his strength had firmly reached the Admiral-Emperor Level, making him no less powerful than a veteran Marine Admiral.

Behind him, Shiryu of the Rain Avalo Pizarro, Alvaro Pizarro, Jesus Burgess, Van Augur, Lafitte, Doc Q, and the Stronger core crew of the Blackbeard Pirates were present, their faces all bearing unrestrained laughter, and a chilling, menacing aura swept across the entire nearshore sea.

Blackbeard's gaze was undisguised, fixed on the Second Golden Lion, who held the Sakura Ten and Deadwood twin swords in mid-air. His ambition was written all over his eyes, and his goal for this trip was crystal clear— the Second Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit.

The situation collapsed again in an instant.

Uchiha Rin's arm gripping the sword tensed slightly, her Sharingan suddenly swirling, and a chilling killing intent poured out towards Blackbeard's crew without any concealment. However, reason still prevailed over anger, and she was more on high alert, staring intently at the group of uninvited guests on the sea.

Shanks' expression suddenly darkened. His previous mediation plan was completely disrupted by this unexpected interference. He stepped forward, and Gryphon was already half-drawn from his sword. His single eye was as sharp as a blade, directly confronting Blackbeard on the sea. The two Yonko Level auras clashed fiercely in the air.

"Teach, do you really want to come here and muddy the waters?"

"Hahaha! The sea is so vast, wherever there's excitement, I, Blackbeard, will naturally come and join in!" Teach laughed loudly, but his gaze never left the Second Golden Lion.

Seeing this from high above, the Second Golden Lion felt a surge of rage. The other party's covetousness of his Float-Float Fruit was blatant, and a surge of fury rose to his head. However, the current situation was complex, with various forces intertwined on the deserted island, and he couldn't discern who could become his ally.

The Uchiha Clan, the Straw Hat Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates, the Marines watching from afar, and then the Blackbeard Pirates suddenly appear.

There are no true allies; everyone is wary of each other, and each side is on guard against sneak attacks from other forces nearby.

Out at sea, the intelligence ships of the Big Mom Pirates, responsible for reconnaissance, hurriedly sent the urgent news that the Blackbeard Pirates had appeared and that Teach had already acquired the Mythical Zoan Titan Giant Fruit back to Totto Land.

Inside the bridge of the naval flagship, Kizaru and Ryokugyu looked at the ferocious force that had suddenly appeared on the sea, their expressions growing increasingly solemn.

The previously shelved battle plan was not completely scrapped. Blackbeard was also a major enemy wanted by the Navy. Now that a multi-party melee has taken shape and the situation is entangled and difficult to resolve, the two chose to remain still, quietly observe the battlefield, and wait for an opportunity to reap the benefits.

Chaton Tokikake stood to the side, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He was both wary of the new generation of Uchiha fighters and wary of Blackbeard's crew, his nerves stretched to the limit.

On the beach, Zoro and Sanji, panting heavily as he maintains his modified Rumble Ball transformation, Chopper, barely Luffy, and Ace and Sabo, exhausted and swaying, all have tense bodies.

Twenty new-generation Uchiha, their hands on their sword hilts, protected the Straw Hat Pirates while also keeping a watchful eye on Blackbeard's officers on the sea.

Stussy, huddled in the shadows of the reef, frowned deeply, his hands clenched tightly. The situation was completely out of his control. Beside him, Weevil stood motionless, oblivious to the turmoil around him.

Above the warship suspended in mid-air, the dying Rutnes and the remaining members of the Flying Pirates were filled with unease.

The sea breeze howled across the desolate island, and the auras of several powerful beings at the Admiral-Emperor Level clashed and intertwined. Everyone pointed their blades at their surroundings, and no one knew which side would break the stalemate first.

Teach launched the first attack, his bones crackling with terrifying sounds as his body rapidly expanded and grew taller, instantly transforming into Mythical Zoan Gorilla-Gorilla Fruit Titan Giant Form tens of meters tall. His entire body was covered in thick, dark keratinous hide, and his massive, mountain-like body stirred up towering waves as he charged straight toward the Second Golden Lion in mid-air.

Almost at the same Setsuna!

A golden streak shot out from a distant naval warship. Kizaru, his body gleaming with a blinding light, charged forward without hesitation, locking onto Second Golden Lion as well.

The battlefield situation has completely deteriorated.

Ryokugyu flashed forward, and plant vines burst forth from the ground, growing wildly and wrapping around sharp thorns, heading straight for Ace and Sabo, whose energy was already depleted.

Shanks' eyes narrowed, the sea beneath his feet exploded, and he swept across, directly blocking the path of the Second Golden Lion. Gryphon drew his longsword, and a Conqueror's Haki swept outwards, forcefully separating the attacks of Kizaru and Titan Giant Teach.

"Don't even think about it!"

Almost at the same moment Shanks made his move, Ben Beckman drew his Fire Pistol with one hand, the muzzle flashing as he locked onto Ryokugyu and pulled the trigger! The scorching bullet, imbued with Armament Haki, Space Rend, heading straight for Ryokugyu's vitals.

Faced with resistance, Ryokugyu had to abandon its attacks on Ace and Sabo. The vines suddenly twisted and intertwined to block in front of them, focusing on dealing with Ben Beckman's firepower.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Second Golden Lion, high above in the air, Float-Float Fruit his two Famous Sword, Sakura Ten and Deadwood, with a fierce gleam. He unleashed the full power of his Float-Float Fruit, sending countless floating rocks raining down like a storm, carrying the remaining officers of his Flying Pirates as he launched a fierce counterattack against Blackbeard, Titan Giant.

There are so few viewers lately, is anyone still watching? I feel like if this keeps up I'm going to abandon the ending...
