Clack clack

Rumbling and booming.

Rolling black clouds roared with thunder, and the entire sky erupted in a violent hurricane, instantly darkening the sky and sending out a constant pressure.

A powerful aura stirred up the winds and clouds, turning the weather upside down.

Three feet off the ground, Ye Chen, his long hair flowing, looked indifferently at the Blackbeard.

Opposite him, Blackbeard was enveloped in billowing black smoke, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, his rugged face contorted with rage.

"Thief haha"

He laughed loudly, Blackbeard's sinister gaze sank into despair as he looked at Ye Chen.

His gaze sharpened, ripples spread through the air, Blackbeard's expression changed, and with a deafening roar, he was sent flying backward with a painful groan.

"Hateful"

The piercing pain that went deep into his soul made Blackbeard scream in agony.

"That 'thief ha ha' truly lives up to his name, God!"

The pain had turned Blackbeard's face into one of cruelty. Seeing that Ye Chen's mere glance had caused an explosion of air currents, Blackbeard became even more wary.

"This is what you call the strongest Logia? It's nothing special."

Ye Chen shifted his body to the side, standing three feet off the ground in front of Blackbeard.

"You will come to realize the most dangerous ability in history, the strongest Logia fruit— the Dark-Dark Fruit."

"Dark Water."

His hands turned black, swallowing all light. Blackbeard fiercely grabbed at Ye Chen, and then a powerful gravitational force acted on Ye Chen, ultimately causing him to fly uncontrollably toward Blackbeard.

His eyes narrowed, and the air rippled again, but this time Blackbeard was smarter, keeping his Observation Haki active at all times.

The left hand shone with darkness, seemingly swallowing the explosion like a black hole.

Everything will be absorbed in the face of darkness.

Pulled by gravity with his right hand, Blackbeard grabbed Ye Chen's collar, laughing loudly, "I've got you!"

Ye Chen's body trembled, and his expression changed drastically.

"Can't you feel the power of the Devil Fruit anymore?"

He punched Ye Chen in the stomach, causing Ye Chen to bend over and spit out a mouthful of bitter water.

He slammed the ball to the ground, sending rubble flying, and Blackbeard raised his right foot to deliver a heavy kick to Ye Chen's chest.

The bottom shell was pried open, and amidst the billowing dust, Ye Chen shot out and lay in the ruins.

"Boom"

A powerful air pressure surged, sending dirt flying everywhere. Ye Chen, his face cold, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at it, and then stared at Blackbeard as if he were looking at a dead man.

"I've already analyzed your ability: Paramecia Fruit, the Blast- Bomb-Bomb Fruit. So there's no way you can defeat me."

Surrounded by a surge of darkness, Blackbeard spread his arms and grinned maliciously.

With a single wave of his hand, a terrifying explosion erupted, but it was swallowed by darkness as it approached Blackbeard.

"I've already said that your abilities are useless to me."

Cold and deathly silent, Blackbeard was like a black hole at this moment, capable of easily swallowing even an explosion.

"Whoosh"

Two gusts of Rankyaku descended into the air, causing Blackbeard to change. However, his right hand, swirling with darkness, forcefully swallowed them as the darkness spread.

Appearing out of thin air, Ye Chen's right foot burst into Nitro Fire.

With tremendous force, sand and stones flew from the ground, and with the impact, Blackbeard gripped Ye Chen's right foot tightly.

"I've already said that your abilities are useless to me."

With victory assured, Blackbeard swung his arm out, sending Ye Chen tumbling several backflips in the air before finally coming to a stop.

Ye Chen roughly understood Blackbeard's abilities as his left hand reformed into an arm.

Similar to how Seastone counters Devil Fruit, it can cause users to lose their abilities. However, unlike Seastone, it cannot cause users to lose their strength when they lose their abilities.

In other words, the opponent's ability only works against Devil Fruit.

With a cold glint in his eyes, Ye Chen stepped forward, his black hair swirling with silver, and his aura completely vanished.

A series of shadows swayed behind him as Ye Chen appeared like a ghost in front of Blackbeard, sending chills down the latter's spine.

The left foot kicked out, creating a storm.

Unable to detect the trail with his Observation Haki, Blackbeard's gaze hardened, and black smoke instantly surged from his hands.

"Dark Water."

A powerful gravitational pull struck, and Ye Chen's left foot was uncontrollably grabbed.

"Ha ha ha, your abilities are useless against me. This is the most dangerous ability in history."

Blackbeard laughed wildly, thinking he had Ye Chen cornered.

"Nonsense."

With his eyes gleaming white, Ye Chen spun around, his right foot, a dark gold color that seemed to tear and roar like a mountain range, slammed heavily into Blackbeard's head.

With the collision of muscles, Blackbeard's previously maniacal face contorted, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, along with several teeth that flew out like projectiles.

A series of buildings collapsed, rubble and dirt flew everywhere, and Blackbeard lay at the end of the ravine, clutching his face and screaming in agony.

"It hurts like hell!"

Covered in blood, Blackbeard forced himself to shake off the dizziness in his head and stood up, howling in pain.

He landed gracefully on the ground, Ye Chen looked at the Blackbeard with a chilling gaze.

"Is this the ability you rely on?"

"Hateful."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Blackbeard finally realized that the man opposite him was not only a Devil Fruit user, but also a master of physical combat.

"Dark Cave Path."

With a crazed expression, Blackbeard was enveloped in darkness. He slammed his hands on the ground, and in an instant, the ground within a radius of ten thousand meters was completely covered in darkness.

Weightlessness, repulsion, attraction—all sorts of chaotic forces began to erupt, causing Ye Chen's entire body to tense up.

"God, die!"

A tremendous suction force came from the ground, trying to pull Ye Chen down into hell, while Ye Chen's left arm also dissipated.

In this dark realm, Ye Chen's Devil Fruit ability became ineffective.

Looking at Ye Chen's severed arm, Blackbeard grinned maliciously, "You've lost your abilities and an arm. Let's see what you have to fight me with now."

The darkness pressed in relentlessly, causing Ye Chen to lose his balance.

Looking down, Ye Chen saw his feet being pulled and dragged by darkness, with a force trying to crush them.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a bolt of black and red lightning struck down from the endless darkness, and a domineering will surged forth. Ye Chen's feet, now tinged with dark gold, forcefully pulled him out of the darkness.

Unleashing his Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki to their fullest extent, Ye Chen vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Blackbeard.

"Impossible."

The chaotic air pressure blew off Blackbeard's hat, and the icy gaze so close at hand made his hair stand on end.

"Puff"

Like a boiled shrimp, Blackbeard's face was contorted, and blood kept spurting from his mouth and nose.

The darkness vanished, Blackbeard transformed into a streak of light, shooting off and crashing through hills and deserts before finally settling amidst the rubble.

The pain was like being pricked with needles; before Blackbeard could even scream, he was thrown to the side in a sorry state.

With a sonic boom, Ye Chen's right foot sank deep into the ground as he watched Blackbeard being thrown away by the air pressure, leaving a trail of shadows before disappearing from the spot.

"Ah"

With a scream, just as Blackbeard was about to get up, Ye Chen raised his right leg high and kicked Blackbeard in the ribs with a whooshing sound.

With a crack, Blackbeard was sent flying, spitting blood once more.

Nitro Fire condensed in his hand, and a long spear followed closely behind.

Feeling icy cold all over, Blackbeard forcibly turned himself around, his right hand circulating darkness, turning his spear into black smoke.

But at that moment, those eyes, which looked like they were staring at a dead person, were right in front of him.

"Damn it, die!"

Overwhelmed by his abilities and Armament Haki, Blackbeard angrily threw a punch at Ye Chen.

As they brushed past each other, Ye Chen's knee struck Blackbeard in the stomach, sending Blackbeard hurtling into the air like a rocket.

In a swift flash, Ye Chen swooped down, and amidst the crisscrossing cracks, Blackbeard lay in the pit, his face covered in blood.
