Does Uchiha Need a Reason to Kill Someone?
Blackbeard suddenly burst into wild laughter, his signature rough laugh echoing through the sky. He seemed arrogant and unrestrained, but his eyes concealed a deep sense of vigilance and fear.
He deliberately adopted a frank and open attitude, taking the initiative to ease the tense atmosphere and try to avoid this pointless fight. "Uchiha!"
In the chaos just now, my Blackbeard Pirates were fighting to the death with Golden Lion and the Marines the whole time, and we didn't provoke you in the slightest!
I have absolutely no connection with the Uchiha Clan, nor do I harbor any grudge against them! Why are you keeping such a close watch on me?
He tried to justify this by saying that he was unwilling to rashly confront this unfathomable Uchiha powerhouse before the situation was clear.
Despite Blackbeard's deliberate attempts to curry favor and offer explanations, Uchiha Yashiro remained calm and composed throughout. His dark eyes held no ripples, no anger, and not even any restless killing intent towards his enemies; only a cold indifference that disregarded all living beings.
He slightly raised his eyes, his voice calm yet carrying an overwhelming arrogance, each word ringing out, echoing throughout the heavens and earth. "Does the Uchiha need a reason to kill whomever they want?"
In a single sentence, he completely crushed all of Blackbeard's options for reconciliation.
What constitutes the domineering power of a top-tier expert?
It means killing and fighting at will, and being swayed by one's own emotions.
The Uchiha Clan never needs to explain their actions to anyone, nor do they need any so-called grudges or reasons.
The only reason was the desire to kill.
Blackbeard's maniacal laughter froze instantly, his expression darkened slightly, and the ease in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by a deep sense of seriousness and vigilance.
He already knew that there was no way to resolve this confrontation today. From the very beginning, his opponent had been targeting him, regardless of whether he had provoked the Uchiha or not; it was simply a one-sided crushing and hunting.
Just as the two confronted each other high in the sky, their auras clashing violently, the ten Night Owl Guard on the ground quietly moved.
The gray-white figures that had been protecting the new generation of Uchiha dispersed in pairs, their movements swift and silent, their auras concealed yet their killing intent hidden.
The ten men formed a pincer movement, silently approaching and closing in on the remaining members of the Blackbeard Pirates had just finished a chaotic battle and had not yet had time to rest.
The terrifying aura of Yonko Commander Level spread out layer by layer, precisely locking down the movement space of all the Blackbeard Pirates' officers and crew.
A massive encirclement slowly took shape, airtight and completely sealing off all escape routes for the Blackbeard Pirates.
Blackbeard, high in the sky, instantly sensed the commotion below. His divine sense swept across the ground, and his heart sank.
He had originally planned to retreat immediately if the situation turned against him, to avoid the brunt of the attack, but now he was shocked to find that his escape route had already been completely cut off by this group of mysterious Uchiha.
He looked down and felt a tremor in his heart at the battle aura emanating from each of the Night Owl Guard.
All ten were elite members of the Yonko Commander Level. The blockade they set up together was so tight that even his top-tier combatants, who had just experienced a fierce battle, couldn't break through it, let alone ordinary officers.
On the precipice, Uchiha Tetsuka remained standing still, his mind completely absorbed in manipulating the Genjutsu, continuing to deepen Uchiha Rin's genjutsu tempering, showing no intention of interfering with the standoff below.
He coldly surveyed this imminent conflict, his mind already thoroughly understanding the situation.
He understood the disparity in combat strength better than anyone else.
Even if the Yashiro's individual combat strength might not be able to completely overwhelm Blackbeard at his peak, the battle is never as simple as a one-on-one duel.
All of Blackbeard's pirate officers had just gone through a fierce battle, and their condition was already declining. None of them could withstand the combat power of Night Owl Guard's Yonko Commander Level. The outer forces of the entire pirate crew would be completely devoured and crushed in an instant.
Not to mention, Yashiro had secretly dispatched two top-tier Night Owl Guard to quietly ascend to the sky and hide among the clouds, forming a pincer movement with Yashiro.
With the combined efforts of the two, including the Yashiro, they exerted immense pressure, creating layers of confinement within the space. Even if Blackbeard had wings, he would have no chance of escaping safely today.
Within the illusion, Rin's despair continued to fester, and the tremors of her Three-Tomoe Sharingan grew increasingly violent, constantly stuck at the critical point of Awakening Mangekyo Sharingan. She was just one last burst of emotion away from completing her ultimate transformation.
In reality, her body trembled slightly, and the high pressure she was under had reached its limit; the dawn of transformation was just around the corner.
In the center of the battlefield, the air had become utterly still.
The Yashiro stood silently, without any preparatory moves, yet he exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Blackbeard hovered high in the sky, secretly activating the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit. Dark currents of gravity surged around him, ready to fight to the death at any moment.
The two did not make a move, did not clash, and did not even exchange any words, but everyone present knew perfectly well that this duel between a top Uchiha powerhouse and the Four Emperors Blackbeard was already imminent and ready to erupt at any moment.
On the warship at sea, all the Admiral and vice Vice Admiral of the navy watched intently, none daring to intervene easily.
On the deserted island, the new generation of Uchiha members are on high alert, awaiting their strongest member to take control of the battle.
Surrounded by enemies, the members of the Blackbeard Pirates were all pale-faced. Having just fought a fierce battle, they were now being targeted by ten Yonko Commander Level commanders, leaving them with only endless fear and despair.
A storm is brewing, and murderous intent fills the air.
No one knows who will strike first, no one knows what terrifying waves this ultimate showdown will unleash, but everyone knows that the ultimate battle for this sea has officially begun.
Faced with the Uchiha Clan's encirclement and complete blockade of his retreat, Blackbeard knew very well that continuing to confront the Yashiro head-on would not bring him any advantage.
A sudden burst of maniacal laughter echoed throughout the heavens and earth, devoid of any mockery, filled instead with the sinister ruthlessness of someone driven to the brink of despair.
"Since you're not leaving me Teach, a way out, then I'll grab a bargaining chip!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly exploded, the power of the Titan Giant Fruit surged within him, and his massive body shot out with the help of the airflow, aiming straight for Uchiha Rin, who was still trapped in the Genjutsu and unable to move on her own.
His plan was very clear: as long as he captured Rin alive, he could use her as a hostage to force Yashiro to back down, thus creating a way for him to escape.
"You dare!"
Uchiha Chunwu's pupils suddenly contracted. The power from activating the Mangekyo Sharingan was still lingering in his body, and he was still suffering from the aftereffects of overdrawing his eye power.
Seeing Blackbeard heading straight for Rin, a surge of anger welled up inside him. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, sending pebbles flying everywhere, and was about to leap up and intercept him.
But before he could even move, a gray-black figure was already a step ahead, suddenly shifting to the side and Setsuna blocking Rin's path.
