Uchiha Itsu stood before the two cages.
Whitebeard was killed.
Garp and Sengoku were both captured.
Of the three top experts who had joined forces to fight him, one was dead and two were captured.
The entire Marineford fell completely silent.
All the marines and pirates fell silent, staring in utter terror at Uchiha Itsu's figure.
No one could have imagined that someone could single-handedly crush the pinnacle of combat power between the Navy and pirates.
At this moment, Uchiha Itsu had become an absolutely invincible and terrifying existence on the battlefield, one that no one dared to provoke.
In the shadows of the battlefield, Blackbeard finally got his chance.
He held the Whitebeard corpse in his hand.
Even in death, Whitebeard's body remained as heavy as a mountain. Blackbeard gritted his teeth, unleashing his strength in his arms, and dragged the corpse away from the battlefield.
"Thief! Hahahaha!"
" Whitebeard, you've finally met your match!"
Blackbeard laughed wildly.
But the next moment, another violent roar came from afar.
The aftershocks of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack swept over.
Blackbeard's laughter stopped abruptly.
He quickly activated the Dark-Dark Fruit, and black power surged from his body, transforming into a vast expanse of darkness that enveloped both his own and Whitebeard's corpses.
boom!
The Shockwave struck the darkness.
Blackbeard's body jolted violently, his feet leaving two deep gashes on the ground.
His internal organs felt as if they were being squeezed at the same time; a sharp pain shot through his chest, and a metallic taste rose in his throat.
"Ah!"
Blackbeard let out a scream.
He didn't dare to confront them head-on.
Every punch from the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was imbued with World-Breaking Level Armament Haki. Even after being weakened by space and distance, the remaining aftershocks were still beyond his ability to withstand.
The Dark-Dark Fruit can only devour and suppress power.
But that couldn't make him immune to this pure shock.
The barrier of darkness continued to cave in.
Whitebeard's corpse was blasted around by the aftershocks, and his body was covered in wounds.
Blackbeard's face turned extremely grim as he looked at the corpse in his arms.
Damn it!
"It's just the aftermath, why is it still so strong?"
He desperately activated the Dark-Dark Fruit, and the dark power continued to spread.
Several breaths later, the impact passed by him.
A deep trench was plowed into the ground.
The surrounding walls had all collapsed.
Blackbeard knelt on the ground, his hands supporting him as he gasped for breath.
His clothes were tattered, and his face and chest were covered in wounds.
Whitebeard's corpse wasn't in much better shape either.
Having already suffered severe injuries from the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, he was now swept away by the aftershocks, leaving almost no part of his body unscathed.
Blackbeard reached out and pressed his hand against Whitebeard's chest.
We can't wait any longer.
"If Uchiha Itsu catches up, I'll get nothing!"
He grabbed the Whitebeard corpse and dragged it aside.
The power of the Dark-Dark Fruit surged from his palm, quickly covering Whitebeard's entire body.
Black smoke billowed continuously.
Whitebeard's corpse seemed to sink into a swamp, slowly descending into the darkness.
Blackbeard spread his arms wide, his eyes fixed on the darkness before him.
" Dark-Dark Fruit, devour everything!"
Give me Whitebeard's power!
The darkness suddenly contracted.
A terrifying tremor erupted from Whitebeard's body.
Even after death, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit still lingers deep within the body. Blackbeard activated the Dark-Dark Fruit, forcibly pulling that essence of the fruit from the corpse.
The air began to vibrate.
Gravel bounced up from the ground.
A white ball of light struggled in the darkness, emanating a thunderous roar.
Blackbeard's arms were bulging with veins.
He suffered the backlash from the shockwave, and the wounds on his face kept reopening.
"Come out!"
"Get out here!"
" The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is mine!"
He clenched his fists tightly.
The dark forces suppressed the white ball of light, slowly pulling it out of Whitebeard's body.
Just as Blackbeard was fully devouring the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Doflamingo emerged from the battlefield on the other side.
His clothes were torn, and there was blood on his shoulders and abdomen.
But he still had a smile on his face.
Doflamingo walked up to Perona and bowed slightly.
"Lady Perona."
" Donquixote Doflamingo, reporting for duty."
Perona glanced at him.
Why did it take you so long to get here?
Doflamingo's lips twitched.
"I'm already very fast."
"Bartholomew Kuma, Onigumo, Bastille, and several Giant Vice Admiral were all surrounding me."
"It's already quite an achievement that I've managed to hold out until now and even take care of them along the way."
That's your own problem.
Perona's tone was flat.
Doflamingo's smile remained unchanged, but he was inwardly quite helpless.
After his defection, he not only had to deal with Bartholomew Kuma, but was also besieged by Onigumo, Bastille, and several Giant Vice Admiral.
If it weren't for the String-String Fruit and his powerful Haki, he would never have made it this far alive.
"Never mind."
Perona was too lazy to dwell on it any longer.
She raised her hand and pointed at Marco, who was enveloped in lightning.
"Go see him."
"Don't let him escape."
Doflamingo looked in the direction she was pointing.
Marco was pinned to the bottom of the pit by Perona, and the Phoenix Flame on his body was suppressed by the World-Breaking Level Haki, leaving him unable to move his arms and legs.
"You want me to guard the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Doflamingo laughed.
"That's a good arrangement."
He raised his hands.
Countless white lines appeared simultaneously from the ground, walls, and mid-air.
Thin, transparent threads wrapped around Marco's limbs and then tightened continuously.
Click!
The power of the String-String Fruit passed through his body, binding Marco completely.
Several thick white lines wrapped around his waist and abdomen, securing him firmly to the bottom of the deep pit.
Marco tried to activate the Phoenix Flame.
The blue flames had just emerged when Perona's Haki forced them back into her body.
Doflamingo's smile deepened as he watched this scene.
"That way it won't move."
Perona turned around and looked at Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru in the distance.
The three Marine Admiral have stopped fighting.
They witnessed Sengoku and Garp being captured alive by Uchiha Itsu, and they were also aware of Uchiha Itsu's current strength.
But the three of them did not retreat.
They charged at Uchiha Itsu at the same time.
Akainu transformed into magma, Aokiji released chilling energy, Kizaru turned into golden light.
Three figures charged out from different directions.
Perona glanced at it and gently shook her head.
"No need to save the master."
"They're asking for it."
She had originally planned to take care of the three Admiral.
However Uchiha Itsu had already captured Garp and Sengoku, so there was no need to prolong the remaining battle.
This war has lasted far too long.
The Thunder Emperor Corps only had fifty-odd men.
The Marine Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates, however, have tens of thousands of members.
Even if the strength of the legion members far exceeds that of ordinary marines and pirates, continuing to wear them down will be detrimental to the Thunder Emperor Corps.
Perona originally sent everyone into the battlefield so that the legion members could gain practical combat experience.
Now, we have enough experience.
There's no need to waste any more time.
