At that moment, the Quake-Quake Fruit and Soundwave Fruit powers erupted at the same time. Their might was beyond imagination, dealing Blackbeard grievous injuries.
Blood began flowing from Blackbeard's ears, nostrils, mouth, and even his eyes. He looked utterly wretched.
However, Blackbeard was no ordinary opponent. Defeating him so easily was far from simple.
What was more, he had now consumed an immensely powerful Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, greatly increasing his strength. It was like adding wings to a tiger.
He shouted, "Dark Spear!" Then he slammed a palm into the ground.
In an instant, the once-level ground seemed to split apart, and a massive black hole appeared.
The black hole was mysterious and deep, like a passage leading into another world. A pitch-black spear as thick as a meter suddenly shot out from within!
The black spear tore through the air as it thrust straight at its opponent. Moke did not dare lower his guard and hurriedly activated the powers of the Quake-Quake Fruit and Soundwave Fruit to defend himself.
Quake power formed a rippling shield before him, while soundwaves turned into blade after blade and flew toward the spear. The two collided with an ear-splitting boom, warping the surrounding air.
As the two sides remained deadlocked, a sinister smile appeared on Blackbeard's lips.
The Dark Spear had only been a feint. While Moke was fully occupied dealing with it, Blackbeard flashed around from the side and reached Moke's back.
He extended a hand as black as ink and viciously clawed at Moke's back.
That claw contained immense darkness. If it landed, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Just as Blackbeard's hand was about to touch Moke's back, Moke seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He instantly leaned forward and kicked backward at the same time.
