At this moment, Borsalino and Kuzan were both attacking Whitebeard Newgate and the others with all their might, Sakazuki was recovering as quickly as possible, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku had also stepped onto the plaza.
Their attack was initially quite strong, but after Whitebeard Newgate and Enel stabilized their position, they were unable to mount a successful offensive.
Not only that, Mihawk, Ace, Hancock, and Bartholomew Kuma also realized what was happening, and now the Marine Headquarters was completely helpless.
Although the Marine Headquarters has a numerical advantage, it lacks many high-end combat personnel. Even with the half-dead Blackbeard, it's only five against eight.
Moreover, Whitebeard Newgate alone requires at least two Admiral to restrain him. Just now, Sakazuki fought desperately, ultimately trading serious injury for a minor one.
This is because Yamato and Katakuri needed to conceal their identities and were using Haki throughout.
At this point in the battle, both sides were somewhat bloodthirsty. Apart from Whitebeard Newgate, who was still able to maintain his rationality, the others even had the urge to completely annihilate the Marine Headquarters.
" Lin Yuan, what are you planning to do next? If this continues, both sides might go completely insane, and the entire island could be destroyed. There won't be many survivors."
Redfield offered a reminder, but Bullet didn't care at all; he even seemed tempted to rush in and fight.
Lin Yuan did not answer, but pondered. In fact, the battle was not too intense, and his side had been quite restrained.
Moreover, there were as many as 13 powerful warriors at the level of generals on the battlefield. If they were to unleash their full power, they would probably have razed the entire Marineford to the ground long ago.
At this moment, the elite Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters were being overwhelmed, while the others were being attacked by four or five people at a time. Kuzan was staring at Whitebeard Newgate, and Borsalino was being held back by Enel.
Although the battle has progressed to this point, it's clear to anyone with eyes that the Marine Headquarters is doomed. If Sengoku hadn't personally intervened, the Navy would probably have collapsed long ago.
"Hehe, it's still early. Some people are still trying to snag a bargain, while others will come to stop them. Let's just keep watching the show."
Although that's what he said, Redfield clearly saw Lin Yuan mutter a few words silently, and he quickly looked down.
At that moment Whitebeard Newgate, who was being stared at by Kuzan, suddenly turned his head and looked at Blackbeard, whom he had just blasted into the ground. Almost instantly, he noticed something was amiss.
"Someone, stop Kuzan and Sengoku, I need to take care of something!"
Yamato, Mihawk, Ace, and Bartholomew Kuma appeared instantly, blocking Kuzan and the others.
Whitebeard Newgate walked over to Blackbeard, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Heh, no wonder you've been able to hide your true self for decades, you piece of trash, you really know how to hide!"
"Earthquake!"
As Whitebeard Newgate spoke, his fist, imbued with Tremor-Tremor energy, slammed heavily into the ground.
Just then, a jet-black, viscous tentacle suddenly appeared, covered with the evil, dark substance of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
The moment Whitebeard Newgate's vibrational energy made contact, it was absorbed by the other party.
"Hahaha, hahaha, I didn't expect you to find out after all. As expected of the former world's strongest, but so what if you've been found out?"
"Boom..."
A violent explosion rang out, and even the Whitebeard Newgate was thrown back more than ten meters. At that moment, a terrifying monster appeared.
It was Blackbeard. At this moment, his whole body was covered in a disgusting black liquid, and his limbs had transformed into eight powerful tentacles. When he stood up, he was seven or eight meters tall, and his tentacles were more than ten meters long.
"What is this thing? It's so ugly and disgusting."
Hancock, who had just kicked a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral flying, frowned and coldly remarked, clearly disgusted by the man's appearance.
Whitebeard Newgate's eyes also held surprise and indifference. He hadn't expected to underestimate Blackbeard even more; this was only the second Devil Fruit User he had ever encountered.
Although he didn't know why Blackbeard was able to do it, Lin Yuan had told him that Blackbeard's goal this time was to steal his Devil Fruit ability.
Now it seems that if Lin Yuan had followed his previous plan, he would have combined the Logia Dark-Dark Fruit with this obviously Mythical Zoan Fruit, and then obtained his own Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Then, Blackbeard will become someone who possesses the abilities of three of the strongest Devil Fruits, and his strength will be unimaginable.
"Zehahaha, Whitebeard Newgate, you never expected this, did you? You forced me to reveal my Mythical Zoan, Octopus Mode, Deep Sea Hollow-Hollow Fruit. Now I'm immortal, zehahahaha!"
At this moment, everyone on the battlefield stopped fighting for the second time and looked at Blackbeard.
"Someone can actually eat two Devil Fruit? That's terrifying!"
" Devil Fruit User, truly unprecedented, but the other party's appearance is utterly disgusting!"
Everyone was talking about it, even Bullet and Redfield were looking at Blackbeard in surprise, only Lin Yuan's face turned ugly.
"What are these guys doing? Are all the people in the One Piece world out of their minds? This is a battlefield; you could die if you're not careful!"
Sure enough, just as Lin Yuan was speechless, someone launched an attack.
" Hound Blaze..."
The one who launched the attack was Sakazuki, who had been resting for a while. While everyone was stunned, he was the only one who seized the opportunity and bombarded Yamato and the others with countless magma.
" Blizzard, Extreme Cold Storm..."
On Whitebeard Newgate's side, there was one person who remained clear-headed: Monet. As Lin Yuan's shadow, she knew a great deal.
Especially Blackbeard, who was someone Lin Yuan had asked her to keep an eye on, except that all the information was given to her by Lin Yuan.
In this battle, Lin Yuan specifically instructed that only she could use her abilities freely.
The terrifying lava and Blizzard collided violently, then burst into flames before being engulfed by rising steam.
Although Monet's strength was not as great as Sakazuki's, he gave everyone a chance to react. By the time everyone had reacted, the battle had resumed.
Apart from Katakuri and Yamato, who did not reveal their full strength, almost everyone else unleashed their full power.
With Blackbeard joining the fray, Sengoku's fighting spirit was reignited, as he fought Bartholomew Kuma and Ace alone, while the others also found their own opponents.
"Hahaha, before I got the Dark-Dark Fruit, I really didn't dare to face you. Now, let me see just how strong you really are!"
Perhaps it was the first time Blackbeard had used two Devil Fruit abilities in front of everyone, or perhaps he was influenced by the power of this Devil Fruit, but at this moment, he had no intention of hiding his strength.
" Darkness Strangulation!"
With a roar from Blackbeard, his powerful tentacles, already over ten meters long, grew even longer, covered in countless suckers, and slammed fiercely towards Whitebeard Newgate.
Moreover, the tentacles seem to possess the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, forcing Whitebeard Newgate to take the matter seriously.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Having just clashed with his opponent, Whitebeard Newgate almost instantly came up with a countermeasure. Instead of continuing to use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, he picked up Murakumogiri, and the swirling blade pierced the air with explosive sounds.
"Hahaha, even though you can counter Devil Fruit abilities, don't forget, I'm still a great swordsman!"
As Whitebeard Newgate laughed, Murakumogiri slashed fiercely at the approaching tentacles with terrifying speed.
