Personally Beating Blackbeard's Crew into the Sea
These words exploded in the air like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the previous stalemate. Blackbeard's face instantly turned extremely grim, and he glared fiercely at Ochoku, his eyes blazing with fury. Those behind him were also stunned by this sudden turn of events, their faces showing astonishment. After all, they had previously held a considerable advantage against Ochoku's crew. However, with the addition of a pirate emperor like Moke, the situation could potentially reverse in an instant.
After hearing Ochoku's suggestion, Moke pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. His voice was deep and powerful. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. How about this... I'll deal with Blackbeard. As for the others, you can handle them. But all the spoils of war will be mine, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Ochoku raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly surprised by Moke's request. He thought to himself, "Moke is truly ruthless!" While Moke was indeed helping him in a sense, according to the rules of the high seas, he could only share seventy or eighty percent at most. After all, on this turbulent ocean, people followed unwritten rules and agreements. These rules, though not explicitly stated, were tacitly understood principles. Now, Moke wanted to take all the spoils for himself—a blatant violation of these rules, and utterly excessive.
However, Ochoku was no ordinary person; his decisiveness and courage were admirable. Just recently, he had experienced a thrilling battle—a fierce confrontation with Blackbeard. Ochoku was well aware of Blackbeard's strength. In particular, Blackbeard's unique ability to target Devil Fruit users left Ochoku with lingering fear.
It's easy to imagine that if Ochoku hadn't possessed exceptionally strong physical attributes and if his Armament Haki hadn't enveloped his entire body, he would likely have already collapsed under Blackbeard's fierce punches. In that fierce battle, Ochoku displayed extraordinary courage and perseverance, barely managing to withstand Blackbeard's attacks.
Just then, a piercing laugh suddenly rang out, Blackbeard's signature "Zehahaha..." However, this laugh was completely different from the others, containing an aura of endless terror. The laugh seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine. The laugh, like a raging storm, formed powerful Shockwave that swept outwards like Gale Zhou Yu.
The Shockwave left a trail of utter devastation. The ground seemed to be scraped away layer by layer by an invisible giant hand, revealing the underlying rocks and soil. Trees, rocks, shrubs, and other vegetation that had grown on the ground were instantly destroyed in the terrifying Shockwave, reduced to utter ruin. Trees were uprooted, rocks were blasted to smithereens, and shrubs were leveled, as if the area had just been swept by a devastating storm.
Even the other powerful individuals present had to do their utmost to resist such a terrifying Shockwave. They unleashed their unique skills, using energy shields or powerful attacks to defend against this immense force and avoid being affected by it.
"What the hell?" Moke was completely stunned. His eyes widened, and he stared at the scene before him in disbelief. What kind of Devil Fruit User is Blackbeard? Isn't he a special Logia Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User — the Dark-Dark Fruit? In the original work, he also possesses the Quake-Quake Devil Fruit Ability... But this is the original work!
After Moke's astonishing series of maneuvers, Whitebeard was still alive and well! This was truly unexpected. Moke had originally thought his attack would be enough to kill Whitebeard, but he hadn't expected Whitebeard to be so tenacious; this was completely beyond his expectations.
As a result, Blackbeard was unable to obtain Whitebeard's powerful Quake-Quake Devil Fruit Ability as he had hoped. His plans were completely disrupted, and he, who had thought victory was in his grasp, was now plunged into a deep sense of frustration.
However, fate is always full of drama. Just as Blackbeard was filled with remorse, he suddenly found himself being violently blasted into the sea by Moke. The seawater instantly engulfed him, causing him to lose control of his body. He thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, he was rescued by Poison Q at the critical moment. This could be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
However, as the saying goes Blackbeard, "A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise." After surviving this life-or-death ordeal, Blackbeard unexpectedly encountered someone whose abilities captivated him.
Faced with such an alluring ability, Blackbeard didn't hesitate to claim it for himself. He ruthlessly killed his opponent and stole their power. After all, besides the Dark-Dark Fruit, there were several other Devil Fruit that Blackbeard coveted.
This person's ability happens to be one of those potential Devil Fruit. Unfortunately, this ability wasn't fully developed in their hands; their attack methods relied entirely on roaring, which is truly baffling...
