Blackbeard's Desperate Counterattack at the Brink of Death
A brilliant opening can vanish in an instant!
The Uchiha Yashiro's eyes were cold as he seized the moment when Blackbeard's attack faltered. Without hesitation, he instantly took control of the battlefield.
"Don't give him a chance to breathe! Keep the attack going!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yashiro's eye power surged, his Sharingan's predictive power was fully activated, and he suddenly tightened his control over the remaining water, firmly restraining Blackbeard's lower limbs.
The unharmed Night Owl Guard on the right immediately filled the gap, his Wind Release surging again to seal the airspace breach once more;
Despite his injuries, the wounded Night Owl Guard raised his hand and conjured a blazing Fire Release, precisely striking Blackbeard's old wound.
In an instant, the encirclement was formed again, even more tightly packed and more dangerous than before.
Blackbeard's desperate counterattack only created a momentary opening before it was instantly patched up. Instead, his forced outburst plunged him into an even deeper and more difficult disadvantageous position.
He was panting heavily, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the three people in front of him, his heart filled with overwhelming ferocity and fear.
He finally understood that the combination of these three guys was not simply a combination of combat power, but an unsolvable killing formation that complemented each other in offense and defense and moved in unison.
He could barely hold his own and occasionally launch a counterattack thanks to his abnormal foundation of two Devil Fruit, but he was powerless to break through the blockade completely. The battle was completely trapped in a cruel vicious cycle of suppression, counterattack, and suppression again.
Without any hand gestures, the three simultaneously unleashed their Chakra, and the three basic elemental Ninjutsu resonated and merged instantly, constructing a high-level composite Ninjutsu unique to Night Owl Guard.
The Night Owl Guard on the left activated Wind Release Chakra first, and a violent vacuum hurricane suddenly rose in the sky. Sharp wind blades intertwined layer upon layer to form a cage that locked the air, directly blocking all of Blackbeard's movement and evasion routes. The gale tore through the clouds and crushed the airflow, completely imprisoning the entire airspace.
The Night Owl Guard on the right simultaneously activated the Blazing Fire Release. The rolling crimson flames were compressed to the extreme by the hurricane, and heated up, transforming into thousands of solid fire blades. With the help of the wind, they rapidly increased in size, doubling their penetrating and burning power.
The Uchiha Yashiro, positioned in the center, raised his hand and drew upon a massive amount of seawater Chakra. Vast waves condensed in mid-air, transforming into a thick water barrier that enveloped his fire and wind techniques.
Using water to envelop fire and wind to push water, the three Chakra natures of water, fire, and wind are perfectly balanced and superimposed, avoiding the drawbacks of mutually exclusive attributes, forming a destructive composite Ninjutsu that combines imprisonment, piercing, burning, and heavy pressure— Stormfire Boiling Hell Burial!
The three-colored magical energy merged violently, with crimson flames, azure water, and cyan-black hurricanes swirling and transforming into a giant spiraling magical pillar that pierced through the heavens and earth, crashing down on Blackbeard with terrifying, overwhelming power.
Wherever the magic pillar passed, the high-altitude air currents shattered, the clouds were instantly torn apart and evaporated, and the surrounding air was violently distorted by the scorching heat.
The moment it crashed down, it unleashed a deafening roar, and terrifying shockwaves spread out in layers, shattering the deserted islands and reefs below and creating towering waves tens of meters high on the sea surface.
Blackbeard's Titan Giant Form has grown several times larger, his entire body covered in dark, tough animal hide, and his muscular, burly physique exudes extreme power. He possesses abnormal defense and self-healing abilities second only to Kaido Azure Dragon Mythical Zoan.
Faced with the deadly Ninjutsu of the three surrounding him, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he roared violently. He unleashed the full power of both Devil Fruit, and a dark, gravitational torrent swept around him, attempting to forcibly devour and distort the incoming Ninjutsu attack.
However, the combined Ninjutsu of the Yashiro and the two Yonko Commander Level Night Owl Guard had long been integrated into one, with wind locking displacement, fire breaking defense, and water suppressing impact. The three attacks were layered and interlocked, and could not be devoured or neutralized by a single Devil Fruit ability.
With a deafening roar, the magic pillar slammed into Blackbeard's massive body. The intense heat instantly scorched his flesh, sharp wind blades tore through his tough hide, and heavy water pressure suppressed his form, causing the burly Titan Giant to tremble violently and be forced to retreat backward repeatedly.
The pitch-black gravitational field crumbled inch by inch under the crushing force of the composite Ninjutsu. Blackbeard's veins bulged all over his body, and his powerful physique withstood the devastating impact. Wounds of varying depths kept exploding on his body, and scarlet blood mixed with the rising heat splashed everywhere.
Relying on its top-tier self-healing ability Mythical Zoan, the torn flesh healed rapidly, but the continuous burning and piercing damage from the Ninjutsu kept piling up.
The healing speed could not keep up with the damage rate, and excruciating pain spread throughout his body along his nerves, plunging this powerful figure, comparable to a top-tier Four Emperors, into an extreme battle and suppression for the first time.
The ground battlefield had completely degenerated into a killing hell, with the remaining eight Night Owl Guard strictly adhering to their exclusive coordinated battle formation, their offensive and defensive coordination flawless.
Various Ninjutsu, including wind, fire, water, and lightning, were intertwined and bombarded in turn, layer upon layer of techniques forming an airtight cage that trapped the Blackbeard Pirates' officers firmly within the encirclement, leaving no gap for them to break out or rush to the aid of those in the sky.
The Blackbeard Pirates ' officers are all seasoned veterans, with physical strength and combat experience far exceeding that of ordinary sea warriors, yet the gap in combat power is ultimately insurmountable.
Apart from Shiryu of the Rain, who is firmly at the level of a Yonko's vice-president and can fight and hold his own against the Night Owl Guards, the combat strength of the other officers is only on par with that of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Facing the well-coordinated and top-tier Night Owl Guard of the Yonko Commander Level, the group was constantly on the run, relying solely on their excellent physical condition and rich battlefield experience to barely hold on, constantly maneuvering and dodging to avoid fatal attacks.
The sounds of clashing weapons, exploding Ninjutsu, and shattering bones filled the air. Every officer was covered in wounds of varying depths, their clothes soaked in blood, and their strength was rapidly being depleted.
After suffering repeated defeats, they completely lost the ability to fight back, and could not even protect their own safety, let alone spare any strength to help the captain who was fighting hard in the air.
Shiryu of the Rain wielded a jet-black longsword, his body radiating a chilling, raging sword aura. His blade was cunning, ruthless, and deadly, and he was locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle with the Night Owl Guard in front of him.
The two were evenly matched in strength and skill level, and every clash between their swordsmanship and Ninjutsu created a dazzling display of power.
Shiryu was icy and solemn, his pupils fixed on his opponent. He dared not relax for a moment, focusing all his energy on stabilizing the battle.
He knew perfectly well that he was the only one among the crew who could stabilize the situation. If he were to fall, the Blackbeard Pirates ' ground forces would completely collapse. Even so, he could only barely hold his own line and was powerless to come out and support Blackbeard in the sky.
In a secluded, rocky corner of the beach, temporarily out of the war zone, Ace and Sabo sat on the ground with their backs against the cold, hard rock wall. Both were covered in wounds and their breathing was disordered. Their strength had been completely exhausted in the previous life-or-death battle against the Second Golden Lion, and they had almost completely lost their ability to fight.
