Whitebeard vs. Blackbeard (3)

It took only a single breath.

The Dark Matter released from Blackbeard Teach instantly spread across the ground where he and Whitebeard stood.

The roiling Dark Matter flowed endlessly like a river.

Whitebeard was somewhat surprised.

It was not just Whitebeard.

Everyone present was astonished.

"This Blackbeard!"

"What kind of power is that?"

"It looks terrifying!"

Countless Marine soldiers and pirate underlings began discussing it among themselves.

It was not just them.

Even Big Mom was somewhat surprised.

"Mamamama."

"This guy's Devil Fruit..."

Big Mom spoke with a half-smile.

Kaido, however, was not overly surprised. After all, when he had come to cause trouble at Marine Headquarters last time, he had already witnessed Blackbeard's power. In front of him, it had been utterly insignificant.

"Hahahahaha!"

"My Devil Fruit power is the strongest power in this world—the power of darkness!"

"Go on, have a taste of its might!"

Blackbeard Teach seemed certain of victory. With a sinister grin, he arrogantly addressed Whitebeard.

After all.

In Blackbeard Teach's understanding, his Dark-Dark Fruit power was the bane of all ability users.

And Whitebeard was one such Devil Fruit user!

Immediately afterward.

As soon as Blackbeard Teach finished speaking, the river-like Dark Matter rapidly engulfed Whitebeard's entire body.

And.

Some firearms, weapons, and bits of rubble on the ground wrapped in Dark Matter were swallowed into it.

Even Whitebeard's enormous body began to sink continuously.

"Hm?"

"This power!"

Even Whitebeard could not help growing curious.

"Pops!"

"Though I once sincerely respected and admired you, you're old now!"

"So old that you can't even save a subordinate who's about to be executed!"

Even in the face of the imposing Whitebeard, Blackbeard Teach continued speaking viciously, trying once again to stir up Whitebeard's inner rage.

Sure enough.

Whitebeard was thoroughly enraged by Blackbeard Teach once more.
