"Black Vortex!" Teach slammed his hand on the ground, and a massive amount of darkness rapidly spread! Wherever the darkness spread, regardless of whether it was moving or inanimate, it was all swept away!

However, with Kizaru's incredible speed, Sengoku's body was placed in a safe place, and he will be given a grand funeral after this war.

Everyone was fleeing in panic. The attack of a king-level expert was something even a lieutenant Vice Admiral would avoid! This kind of area-of-effect attack from an expert of this level was nothing short of the end of the world for them!

Teach is now far superior to Blackbeard from the original story! Just considering his Black Vortex alone, if Teach goes all out, the entire Marine HQ might not escape unscathed!

Of course, Akainu and Kizaru in the air couldn't just stand by and do nothing!

"The Yasakani no Magatama!"

"Great Eruption!"

The two also unleashed their signature area-of-effect attacks, sending countless blinding beams of light accompanied by massive amounts of magma encasing rocks hurtling towards Teach. The sheer force of their attack caused everyone on the battlefield to change their expressions!

"Hehehehe! Come on!" Teach narrowed his eyes, and then darkness quickly rose into the air, slowly enveloping Teach. Under the engulfment of darkness, Teach slowly disappeared into the earth!

Kizaru and Akainu's attacks struck the darkness, but unexpectedly, no huge roar was heard. The darkness seemed like a greedy maw, swallowing everything it touched!

"Damn it! It's Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit again!" Akainu was so angry he was practically grinding his teeth to powder. Blackbeard possessed three Devil Fruits: one was the bane of Devil Fruit User, another had terrifying destructive power, and the last one not only provided Blackbeard with immense vitality, but what's worse, that fruit made him immune to his own magma! How was anyone supposed to compete with that?

Actually, Teach's Cerberus Fruit isn't just about immunity to magma; to be precise, immunity to magma is just one of his abilities! Akainu's magma is far colder than the Hell Magma, and Cerberus lives in hell, which means Akainu's magma has no effect! Of course, if the temperature were high enough, Teach's body still wouldn't be able to withstand it!

So

Ace now:...

"Hehehehe! Liberation!" Teach suddenly emerged from the earth, stretching out his left hand, and a black portal appeared before him! Then, countless items poured out wildly—massive amounts of weapons, sand, and even corpses! They flew towards the two Admiral like projectiles, though they weren't particularly lethal, but they were still disgusting!

Kizaru and Akainu's bodies were constantly transforming into elements, and none of the things Teach released could touch them! But, there was a smell!

After being exposed to the scorching sun all day, the stench of the corpses was unbearable for most people! The weapons and gravel were stained with large patches of blood. The two Admiral felt as if they had run into a pile of corpses. The stench made their stomachs churn. Coupled with not having eaten for a day and a night, the feeling was... unbearable! More unbearable than a bowl of beef noodles with phlegm and cigarette butts!

"Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, you'd better reimburse me for the laundry expenses after the war!" Kizaru looked at his clothes with disgust. He was a very clean person, and he even trimmed his nails five or six times a day!

"Alright, alright! As long as we win this war, forget about the laundry money, I'll give you a huge bonus!" Akainu knew Kizaru's nature very well, and sure enough, as soon as he said this, Kizaru's aura surged like a rocket!

"Oh, how could I accept this! Fleet Admiral, you're too kind!" Kizaru's face blossomed into a chrysanthemum-like shape, his radiant smile even brighter than when he was drinking with courtesans!

"Hahaha! Kizaru, why don't you become my subordinate? I guarantee your monthly salary will be higher than that of Admiral!" As a salesman in his past life, Teach's eloquence was far superior to Akainu's. The Shiryu he made were so enticing that even Shiryu, fighting Fujitora, was stunned! When did our pirate crew start having five social insurances and one housing fund? And the captain, an average monthly salary of 1 million Beli? Are you sure you're not joking?

Shiryu couldn't help but think of the pitifully few clothes in her wardrobe. Well, she'd better swallow her tears! Patching and mending would make do for another two years...

The incredibly generous benefits made Kizaru's heart waver! Just listen to this: a car, a house, five social insurances and one housing fund, and a basic salary of 1 million Beli per month! Even the Fleet Admiral of the three armed forces wouldn't get such treatment, right?

Looking at Akainu 'Kizaru expression, Akainu couldn't help but sigh inwardly! Understandable! Don't even mention you, even I'm a little tempted! But thinking about it, it makes sense; after all, they're a pirate crew at the level of Sea Emperor, a little bit of money isn't unreasonable, right?

Akainu began to seriously consider whether the Navy's salaries were too low. "No way! I need to discuss this with my superiors when I get back!"

What he didn't know was that at that moment, the naval supply depot...

"Wow! So many Beli? Even more than last time! That makes sense! The navy gets paid in a few days! This must be their pay! Hehe! I'm in luck!"

Fakyu's eyes lit up as he looked at the fully replenished supplies in the warehouse. What? You're saying this is their newly arrived supplies? Enough for the Marine HQ' entire month's worth of consumption? What does this have to do with me? I'm Master Thief!

"We're rich! We're rich!" Fakyu used his Devil Fruit power with all his might, and large areas of silt appeared in the warehouse, while the supplies were decreasing at a visible rate!

"Asshole..."

The soldiers, tightly bound to the side, were seething with rage. That was all their wages! The World Government had just sent it over, and they were already sending it away before they could even enjoy it? Oh no, they were going to be eating dirt again this month!

They'd rather not recall that month after the Paramount War —who knows how many pounds of potatoes they ate! Can you imagine the navy sending out warships to go fishing en masse? The World Government complained about the navy's incompetence, saying they hadn't resupplyed them at all. Want some meat? Go fish for it yourselves!

Everyone was filled with deep hatred, wanting to kill Fakyu with their eyes! But...

"Give the captain 70%, and the rest is mine! This one's mine! This gem is beautiful too! I'll take it all! And this cup? Huh, 'Akainu Fleet Admiral Akainu'? Hmph! So it's a tribute to that Akainu guy! That bastard dared to engrave his name on my cup! That's outrageous!"...

It's not hard to imagine the Navy's expression when they see this empty warehouse! Of course, this guy who doesn't participate in the war will see his bounty skyrocket once again...
