Blackbeard hid on the edge of the battlefield.
He did not participate in any fighting.
Ever since Uchiha Itsu appeared, he had been observing from the shadows.
Upon hearing this, Blackbeard's face turned extremely grim.
His original plan was to wait for Whitebeard's defeat and then seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
If he successfully obtains the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he will become the first Devil Fruit User.
With the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, his strength will definitely increase dramatically.
Even if he were to face Uchiha Itsu again, he might still have a fighting chance.
But now, the situation is completely out of control.
Whitebeard was not defeated.
Sengoku and Garp, on the contrary, joined forces with him.
Uchiha Itsu had already suppressed the three of them without even using his true power.
Blackbeard felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled being defeated by Uchiha Itsu with a single punch Impel Down.
He simply couldn't resist that kind of power.
If exposed now, Uchiha Itsu could kill him completely with just one move.
"Hahaha..."
Blackbeard forced himself to lower his voice.
"You can't go out."
"Now is not the time."
He stared intently at the Whitebeard.
As long as Whitebeard is still alive, he must continue to wait.
Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
He absolutely must obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
If one can successfully fuse the abilities of the two Devil Fruits, their strength will increase dramatically.
By then, we will have the strength to fight even against Uchiha Itsu.
Blackbeard concealed his presence, remaining hidden in the shadows, intently watching the battlefield, quietly lying in wait for the opportunity to seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
The Sengoku erupted with full force.
The three of them working together just now still couldn't suppress Uchiha Itsu, a result he couldn't accept.
Whitebeard was already wounded.
Garp also expended a lot of energy.
Even with the two of them working together, plus his Buddha Form, they could only manage a stalemate with Uchiha Itsu.
Even from beginning to end, Uchiha Itsu was never truly serious.
"It can't be kept any longer!"
Sengoku let out a low growl.
Golden light shot into the sky from his body.
The Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan Buddha Form, was fully activated.
His body began to grow enormous, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a golden Buddha tens of meters tall.
His arm muscles bulged, and his golden hands were clenched into fists.
Before the terrifying impact could even be delivered, the ground beneath their feet could no longer withstand it, and cracks rapidly spread outwards.
" Uchiha Itsu!"
Sengoku raised his fists and slammed them down hard.
"Can you take this punch?"
boom!
Two enormous fists descended simultaneously.
The air was compressed so violently it exploded.
The force of the punch was like a tsunami, kicking up large amounts of debris, and the surrounding navy and pirates hurriedly retreated.
Even with Whitebeard unleashing his full power, all he could do was cause the ground to collapse.
A single blow from the Buddha Form during the Sengoku was enough to create a crater seventy or eighty meters deep.
Now, with both fists falling simultaneously, the power far surpasses that of an ordinary giant.
Many in the naval camp showed expressions of joy.
" The Fleet Admiral Sengoku is getting serious!"
"This attack will definitely smash the Thunder Emperor into the ground!"
"No matter how strong he is, he can't possibly block the Buddha Form's fist with his body!"
The Whitebeard Pirates also instinctively looked towards the battlefield.
Jozu clenched his fist.
"Shouldn't he back out now?"
Marco remained silent.
His gaze remained fixed on Uchiha Itsu.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Uchiha Itsu showed no sign of panic.
Faced with the enormous fists descending from the sky, he simply raised his right hand and slowly tightened his five fingers.
A jet-black Armament Haki emanated from his fist.
The Power of the Extreme Path was simultaneously integrated into it.
"Armed Steel Fist."
Uchiha Itsu did not dodge.
He took a step forward, his right fist meeting the attack head-on.
A person less than two meters tall, facing Buddha Form tens of meters high, appears as small as an ant compared to a giant mountain.
But the next second, the two fists collided.
boom!
A blinding golden light and a domineering black Haki exploded simultaneously.
A terrifying impact swept across the battlefield.
A layer of ground was directly ripped off.
The nearby navy and pirates were all thrown away by the shockwave, many of them crashing into the ice walls and spitting out blood.
The giant fist of the Sengoku stopped in mid-air.
Uchiha Itsu's fist collided with it, but he did not take a single step back.
The golden Buddha's body suddenly trembled.
Sengoku's feet slid backward, skimming the ground.
Ten meters.
Twenty meters.
Thirty meters.
Finally, he stumbled back several steps before managing to steady himself.
Two deep trenches were left on the ground beneath their feet.
The entire room fell silent instantly.
The naval soldiers gaped, unable to believe what they were seeing.
" The Fleet Admiral Sengoku was forced to retreat?"
"That's in the Buddha Form!"
Why isn't the Thunder Emperor's body moving?
Jozu's expression froze instantly.
Vista gripped his twin swords tightly and whispered:
"It's not something we can withstand."
He blocked it with his fist.
Marco's gaze turned completely serious.
"The power of the Sengoku couldn't even overpower him?"
Sengoku looked down at his fist.
The golden light on the Buddha's body was still flashing, but a tingling pain shot through his arms.
He didn't hold back with that punch.
But after the actual collision, he discovered that Uchiha Itsu's power was stronger than he had imagined.
Despite his pitifully small size, the force emanating from his fist was like a mountain pressing down on him.
"It's not over yet!"
The Sengoku roared in fury.
He raised his fist again, his golden Buddha palm covered with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki.
This punch was faster and harder than the last one.
Uchiha Itsu stood still, raising his fist as well.
boom!
Their fists collided again.
This time, the two did not separate immediately.
The Golden Great Buddha and Uchiha Itsu unleashed their power simultaneously.
The ground beneath their feet kept collapsing.
On one side is a terrifying physique in the Buddha Form.
On the other side are the Body of the Extreme Path and the World-Breaking Level Armament Haki.
The space between the fists twisted continuously, as black and gold forces clashed and collided.
The Sengoku was marked by gritted teeth.
"Give me my refund!"
Uchiha Itsu remained calm.
"That's all the power you have."
Their fists were locked in mid-air.
The Sengoku was not defeated.
Uchiha Itsu did not retreat.
Whitebeard seized this opportunity.
He raised his naginata, and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit erupted once more.
The air in front of the blade twisted rapidly, and the white air pressure was compressed wildly.
"Shattering the Sky Split!"
Click!
A cracking sound came from the surrounding space.
Large cracks spread out from the front of the blade, as if the entire world was about to be shattered.
At the same time, Garp also rushed out.
His fists were covered in jet-black Armament Haki.
Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, he launched an attack from Uchiha Itsu and rear.
" Iron Fist - Meteor Strike!"
Garp unleashed a double punch at the same time.
Countless black fist shadows erupted from mid-air, as dense as a torrential rain, sealing off all positions behind Uchiha Itsu.
The navy and pirates watched with trepidation.
"When did Garp learn this technique?"
"With so many punches flying, there's nowhere to hide!"
" Whitebeard and Garp launched a simultaneous sneak attack; Thunder Emperor couldn't withstand it this time!"
