Finishing off Blackbeard
The ten Night Owl Guard had a clear division of labor and worked together in an orderly manner, complementing each other in offense and defense. Their skillful cooperation, coupled with the continuous release of complex Ninjutsu, completely suppressed the Blackbeard Pirates' officers.
All the officers are skilled seafarers with rich combat experience and physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary pirates. However, apart from Shiryu of the Rain possesses genuine Yonko Commander Level combat strength and can barely hold his own against the Night Owl Guard who are restraining him, the strength of the other officers is at most on par with Doflamingo Shichibukai.
Facing the well-coordinated and Yonko Commander Level Night Owl Guard, all of them were exhausted and overwhelmed.
The relentless barrage of Ninjutsu sealed off all escape routes. Blackbeard's subordinates could only rely on their extensive combat experience to fight back desperately, maneuvering and dodging. Their wounds multiplied, their stamina rapidly depleted, and they were completely trapped in the encirclement. Even protecting themselves was extremely difficult, let alone getting away to support Blackbeard, who was engaged in a fierce battle in the air.
Shiryu of the Rain his longsword, his body radiating sword energy, as he fiercely clashed with the Night Owl Guard opposite him, their blades flashing and Ninjutsu exploding in constant clashes.
The two were evenly matched and locked in a fierce battle, with no clear winner. Shiryu on edge throughout, exerting all his strength to barely maintain control of the battle, leaving him with no spare energy to support anyone.
The entire deserted island battlefield has become a battleground with a starkly polarized situation.
In the outer seas, the three forces are locked in a stalemate with undercurrents. On the shore, the three Uchiha clan members surround and crush Blackbeard, while on the ground Night Owl Guard completely encircles and suppresses the Blackbeard Pirates' officers.
Smoke filled the air, and killing intent lingered. This chaotic war, which swept across multiple forces, was far from over, and Blackbeard's true predicament had only just begun.
Having already achieved perfect battlefield coordination, the three formed an equilateral triangle encirclement, leaving no room for evasion.
The torrents surged and merged wildly, with wind, fire, and water elemental Ninjutsu nested and crashing down in succession. Each explosion of a technique unleashed a massive wave of air, shattering the clouds high in the sky and causing them to churn and boil. The roar of the fierce battle in the desolate island's airspace reverberated throughout the Four Blues.
The scorching flames of war spread across the entire coastline, and the billowing smoke, mixed with the churning seawater mist, condensed into a thick, oppressive atmosphere of slaughter, tightly enveloping the entire sea area. Every inch of air was filled with extreme tension and brutality.
The high-altitude battlefield had become the core inferno of the entire war. The Uchiha Yashiro and two elite Night Owl Guard had already reached a tacit understanding on the battlefield without words. The three of them formed a precise triangular killing formation, firmly locking down the burly Titan Giant Blackbeard, leaving no blind spot for evasion or escape.
In the fierce aerial battle, the two Night Owl Guard and Yashiro had a very clear division of labor, launching a continuous and progressively advancing offensive that gave Blackbeard no chance to breathe.
The Night Owl Guard on the left activated his Wind Release a violent hurricane that tore through the sky, transforming into hundreds of condensed Vacuum Blade that sealed off all of Blackbeard's movement, leaping, and retreat routes, forming an absolute airlock domain.
The Night Owl Guard on the right followed closely behind, their blazing Fire Release Chakra surging and erupting. The raging flames were compressed and carried by the wind, transforming into a high-temperature fiery current that enveloped the entire sealed-off airspace.
The Uchiha Yashiro, positioned in the center, controlled the overall situation, invoking a massive amount of seawater Chakra into a technique. He used water to suppress the fire and restrain the wind, perfectly blending the three Chakra attributes to create a three-colored killing barrier covering hundreds of meters of airspace— the Gale-Flame-Water Prison: Chain Burial!
The red, blue, and cyan magical lights intertwined and transformed into a spiraling, destructive storm that crushed layer upon layer onto the Titan Giant's massive body.
A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth; intense heat and flames scorched flesh; Hayate and blades tore through animal hides; and heavy water pressure bound bones and muscles—a triple attack and a triple restraint that locked the victim in place.
Even Blackbeard, who possesses the self-healing and defense capabilities of Mythical Zoan, trembled violently, his hardened skin cracking layer by layer, and crimson blood gushing down his massive body.
If it were an ordinary Yonko Level powerhouse, their physical body would have already shattered and they would have been completely defeated under the combined barrage of Ninjutsu from three Yonko Commander Level fighters.
However, Blackbeard's combined strength from two Devil Fruit makes him arguably the most formidable and ruthless fighter on the seas.
The gravitational pull of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the void's neutralization, combined with the Titan Giant's near-bug-like self-healing body, allowed it to withstand wave after wave of deadly attacks. Wounds tore open, bled, healed, and tore open again, in an endless cycle. Its savage ferocity was also completely ignited under extreme suppression.
"You bastard! You really think I'm someone you can just bully?!"
Blackbeard's eyes were bloodshot, and his ferocious roar echoed Four Blues. In his rage, his aura surged instantly.
His long-standing, cunning, and ruthless nature was completely shattered. In his desperate situation, he abandoned the simple defense of devouring and instead activated the combined power of his two Devil Fruit to launch a furious counterattack!
The pitch-black gravitational field no longer passively negated the Ninjutsu, but instead instantly surged in the opposite direction, with dark currents sweeping wildly around it, forming a large-scale void-devouring Uzumaki.
The torrent of wind, fire, and water Ninjutsu that was originally crashing down was instantly pulled, twisted, and deflected by gravity. Some of the jutsu's power was forcibly swallowed into the void and dissolved, greatly weakening the suppressive power of the composite Ninjutsu.
Taking advantage of the Setsuna opening in the spell's interruption, Blackbeard's massive Titan body suddenly gathered strength, his leg muscles bulging and bursting, shattering the air as he charged out with overwhelming force!
"Dark Skeleton - Titan Smash!"
He imbued the void-piercing power of the Dark-Dark Fruit into the Titan Giant's massive iron fist. The fist, imbued with dark gravity and terrifying physical strength, ignored wind pressure and aftershocks, and smashed straight towards the Night Owl Guard responsible for locking the air on the left!
This attack was swift, ruthless, and domineering; it was a desperate counterattack, a last-ditch effort aimed not at breaking the stalemate, but at severely injuring one person and tearing apart the encirclement.
The air at high altitude was instantly compressed and exploded by the fist, the deafening roar causing a sharp pain in the eardrums.
The Night Owl Guard's pupils constricted sharply as he clearly sensed the deadly threat of the punch. Daring not to take it head-on, he immediately retreated in Body Flicker Technique, simultaneously conjuring Water Release water barrier to block the attack.
The Titan's Iron Fist, capable of penetrating the void, was terrifyingly destructive. Layers of water walls instantly shattered and exploded, and the remaining fist force roared and crushed, grazing the Night Owl Guard's shoulder and tearing a deep, bone-revealing wound, causing blood to gush out instantly.
In just a moment, the perfect triangular encirclement was torn open by Blackbeard's desperate and furious counterattack!
However, this counterattack completely exhausted Blackbeard's current physical strength.
Forcibly reversing the gravity of Ninjutsu and unleashing the overload of his two Devil Fruit caused his Chakra violently disordered, his chest to churn, and a sweet taste to rise in his throat, almost causing him to spit out a mouthful of hot blood.
The Titan Giant's self-healing speed has slowed significantly, its body is covered with dense, gruesome wounds, and its overall combat strength is visibly declining.
