Chapter 787: The Ending Battle 11 (6000 words)
[Chapter Heading Serialization·Three Kingdoms 16·"Construction Preparation"]
[In the Kingdom of Flowers, the Black Dragon flew back to the palace and transformed into Queen Ayu. She called Lily, Qingjiao, Xiangchun and some ministers to explain everything one by one. She planned to move the entire island of the Kingdom of Flowers to the edge of the Calm Belt as a window for the Three Kingdoms Alliance to the outside world; in the Nine Snakes, Hancock sent her two sisters to hand over to the people of Fishman Island; in Fishman Island, the fishmen and mermaids of the entire island were full of fighting spirit, and Shirahoshi was encouraged and shouted loudly. In an instant, the will of Poseidon was quickly transmitted among the large sea kings in the Calm Belt...] -
dark.
Marco could not see anything, hear anything, or touch anything. He could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat. Marco even suspected that this heartbeat was not heard by his ears at all, but was an auditory hallucination caused by his awareness of the beating of his heart.
I was in an endless darkness where I had no idea where I was, front, back, up, down, left, or right.
The darkness is so deep that people feel weightless and may fall at any time.
Ace's brother! Marco yelled, or so he thought. He opened and closed his mouth as wide as he could, vibrating his vocal cords and roaring into the deep darkness.
Straw Hat Boy!
How are you?
Hello! Can you hear me?
I can't make any sound, I can't hear any sound... Marco calmed himself down. Is this the awakening ability of Teach's Dark-Dark Fruit? Ace said that Teach had revealed that the essence of the Dark-Dark Fruit is gravity. In other words, after awakening, not only the light, but even the sound I made was swallowed up by the ubiquitous dark gravity in this dark space? It was as if everything around me was swallowed up by darkness, and even the observation Haki could not sense the existence of anything else.
So, what about my devil fruit ability?
Marco forced himself to stay calm in the darkness. When he was thinking in doubt, he found that his hand seemed to be raised. He was not sure because he could not see and his sense of touch was vague. Sinking in the darkness, even the passage of time became more and more blurred. Marco felt that even his clear self-consciousness was cracking. It was as if he was completely deprived of his five senses in the dark area, like an indescribable horror illusion, which made his sanity shaky.
boom……
The familiar vibration of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and the accompanying stinging recoil, transmitted from the fist, suddenly woke up Marco, whose eyes were gradually becoming dilated.
It's Teach! He's controlling my body!
Marco was shocked—it was the String-String Fruit!
He couldn't move, couldn't see, but felt a chill down his spine, and instantly imagined what it was like in this huge dark realm... Countless dense dark threads hung down from the pitch-black sky, intertwining in this deep space, and many puppet strings were connected to Marco's head, neck, back, shoulders, arms, waist, legs, and feet...
Poof! Marco felt a slight pain in his chest as if he was cut by a knife, but also felt a sweetness in his throat. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He was secretly shocked. The severity of the injury far exceeded the level of pain!
boom……
boom……
Marco was controlled by the dark puppet strings all over his body, and he threw punches uncontrollably. At the same time, from the darkness surrounding him, blade-like thin strings kept slashing and stabbing at him, tearing his immobile body into pieces.
"Hahahaha! Captain Ace, what's the matter? Are you worried about Marco or your brother, the Straw Hat Boy?"
Outside, on the coast, the thick darkness that rose into the sky continued to erode the land on the shore, assimilating it into a wave of darkness. In this rolling darkness, a giant with the outline of Blackbeard Teach floated, punching at the small sea of fire in front of him. The gravity of darkness devoured everything, and the flames that were not attached to Ace's body were directly swallowed by Blackbeard, and the flames attached to Ace's body, as long as Ace appeared, he would be easily caught by Blackbeard's gravity of dark water.
The territory of the sea of fire continued to shrink and retreat.
"Of course I'm worried about Marco." A flaming giant with the face of Ace walked out of the sea of fire and punched Shadow, "Luffy doesn't need me to worry about him!"
Boom…
The dark giant stretched out his hand to grab, but was knocked back by the domineering fist of the fire giant. Teach's gritting teeth and screaming in pain came from the dark tide. The next moment, he wanted to grab Ace's body again, but only flames were left.
"You're running fast! Captain Ace!" Black waves rolled, and a tide of black silk threads shot out from them, entwined and formed a huge hand that covered the sky, and slapped the small sea of fire and Ace in the sea of fire. But the black-bearded hand formed by the silk threads was blocked by another demon hand that stretched out from the side. Ozron roared: "Teach, I won't let you hurt Ace!"
“Be careful, Oz!” Ace shouted from the flames, but it was too late. Oz wanted to push the silk hand back, but found that he could no longer sense the existence of his palm... Puff, blood flew at the broken wrist. Teach pulled out several dark threads and cut off Oz's palm like a steel knife. He laughed loudly in the dark tide, “Hahahaha! No matter how big you are, you are just a better target! Oz!”
Boom! The sky was filled with blazing flames, which transformed into a long winged dragon that bit into the endless black tide. From it rang Blackbeard's screams, "It's so hot! It's so hot!"
"You are so easily carried away by success!" Ace's roar came from the sea of fire, "Brothers, pay attention! I am going to expand the scope of awakening! Please evacuate if you can!!"
"clear!"
"Captain Ace!"
"Brothers, retreat quickly!!"
When the members of the White Group who were in the melee heard this, those who could move away immediately ran away, and those who were entangled by the enemy hugged the enemy and dragged them to run together.
"Hey assholes, what are you doing?!"
In the midst of the panic on the battlefield, Ace said, "Oz, hide in the sea. I will quickly deal with this traitor."
"Ace..." Oz said, "I'm sorry..." His voice stopped abruptly because he saw Ace in the sea of fire, smiling and giving him a thumbs up.
"So similar..." Oz muttered to himself, not sure if he was saying that Ace now looked exactly like the Pirate King Roger, or if he was referring to the tattoo on Ace's back, which seemed to be grinning, just like his father.
"I'm counting on you, Captain Ace!" Oz shouted, jumping into the nearby sea. "When this is all over, we agreed to go to Wano together to bury Izou!"
At the same time, with Ace as the center, the entire battlefield erupted in overwhelming flames!
Boom boom boom! The sea of fire spread rapidly, turning the entire coast into a raging sea of fire.
In comparison, the small black tide assimilated by Blackbeard seemed insignificant, just like the freckles on Ace's face.
"What a mess!" Nami turned into lightning, not afraid of the sea of fire around her, but a little speechless, "Should I say he is worthy of being Luffy's brother?"
"Sanji, why are you saving the enemy?" Franky is a cyborg with a strong body and skin, so he is naturally not afraid of fire. Moreover, as the user of the Swallow Swallow Fruit, he can eat fire as if it were a dessert. However, when he saw Sanji jumping out of the sea of fire holding the nine-tailed fox Katrin, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and mutter, "Who did this kid learn chivalry from? It's obviously more suitable for my perverted spirit!"
"Alas!" Zoro sighed, "He is a perverted cook after all!"
Whoosh! Sanji in mid-air raised his foot and kicked at him with a storm kick. Zoro didn't even look at it, but raised his scabbard and deflected it.
The fire of Ace's awakening and assimilation just now spread over. He slashed down with his sword three times, creating a foothold around him, and the phoenix Shiryu took the opportunity to flap its wings and fly up.
"Don't even think about running away," Zoro bit on the Wado Ichimonji, took a moon step and stood up, grinning, "Before you have a chance to slay the dragon, it might be a good idea to try slaying the phoenix first!"
The three swords, the fast sword Sandaime Kitetsu, the good fast sword Setsuzou, and the great fast sword Wado Ichimonji, are all wrapped with a layer of jet-black armed color domineering.
"Ripple·Three Swords Style·Naraku Demon Slash!"
Amidst the pitch-black domineering aura, a hint of green emerged, like a vibrant vitality, or like the ghostly energy from hell, slashing towards the phoenix Xilu who had no time to dodge.
"Damn it!" Xiliu's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the three ghost slashes that overwhelmed his vision and consciousness, and he felt inexplicably irritated.
I don't know when it started, but I always get angry for no reason. I thought it was a side effect of the Phoenix, but now it seems...
Is it because I gave up holding the knife?
Boom! The green and black domineering energy crossed over the sea of fire, cutting the blue-flamed Phoenix into sparks all over the sky. Zoro's feet sank, and a golden pedestal flew over to hold him up.
Looking around, Nami, Usopp, Franky and Sanji were all standing on the same golden frisbee.
Boom…
Before everyone had time to chat, they heard a huge crash, as if a meteor hit the earth, and a scorching heat wave hit them in the face. Except for Nami and Franky, everyone felt a burning pain on their skin and looked over there to see the flames rising into the sky.
"It's so hot! Captain Ace! Your brother and Marco are now in my dark domain!"
The black tide rolled and laughed, "You use fire on me so recklessly, aren't you afraid of burning them to death too?"
Ace did not answer. In the flames of awakening and assimilation that were ten times greater than Teach's, he condensed a row of flame giants, "Emperor · Meteor Shower ..."
A row of fire giants roared and rushed towards the dark tide, causing a series of huge flame explosions. For a moment, the earth shook and the entire Sphinx's half of the night sky was burned as bright as day. Ace's body was flowing in the endless flames. Even Blackbeard couldn't figure out where Ace was at any time. He suddenly remembered that Ace, who was once the captain of the second team, was best at not only the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit, but also the Observation Haki.
It's a bit difficult to outperform Ace in predicting his moves! Then, let's use force to defeat his cleverness!
"Hahahahaha... I didn't want to use that on you! But there's nothing I can do, Captain Ace!"
The black tide rolled, and a huge incarnation of Teach emerged. He raised his big hairy hands and produced a large amount of silk threads like a spider spraying silk.
Ace's gnashing teeth could be heard from the sea of fire: "Ti, Ki!!"
However, in Blackbeard's hand, the many threads were woven into a giant sword, which looked exactly like the big naginata stuck in front of Whitebeard's tomb! "Haha, after all, I'm most familiar with this sword!"
Teach, the incarnation of the black tide, held the silk thread Kurokumo Kiri with both hands and chopped it hard at the endless and difficult sea of fire in front of him, laughing ferociously, "Captain Ace, if I don't kill you quickly, I'll be in danger! Thief hahahaha... blame it on yourself, it's because you are too weak!!!"
“That’s—?!”
The pupils of Zoro, Sanji and others shrank, and they saw that behind the blade of the Silk Thread and Kusukimi-ki that Blackbeard chopped down, there was a dark and rich domineering aura entwined and dragged.
During the one-year hellish training, Zoro and others, who had seen Lynch, Rayleigh, Tulip, and Hancock use this move many times, recognized it immediately.
The domineering color was entangled! Bang!!! This powerful and unpretentious sword slashed at the sea of fire in front of him, and dense and domineering lightning burst out into the sky. The entire sea of fire was slashed to form a huge gully, extending to the foot of the surrounding mountain, hitting the entire mountain and shaking it...
Ace let out a muffled groan from the sea of fire, and his face emerged from the flames. He gritted his teeth and said, "You actually even mastered this move..."
"Haha, you thief, when did you think I was on dad's ship?" The black tide took advantage of the moment when Ace's sea of fire retreated and quickly encroached forward. Blackbeard laughed while holding the silk thread Kusukime in the black tide, "Roger! Rayleigh! Spencer! Dad! Oden! Red Hair! How many battles between big pirates do you think I have seen? You should say..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the darkness, a sinister laugh was heard, "It would be strange if I don't know how to do it, right? Huh? Ace, little devil."
"......!?" Ace was alert and tried to split the sea of fire, but it was too late. The blurry giant in the black tide swung his sword horizontally, and the blade swept out wisps of domineering aura, cutting the entire sea of fire horizontally. Another muffled groan from Ace came from the sea of fire. Ace's upper body flew out of the upper half of the horizontally cut sea of fire, and his fist was wrapped in dark domineering aura. The lower half of the sea of fire rushed out of Ace's lower body, and he raised his foot, which was also wrapped in domineering aura, and kicked towards Blackbeard. At the same time, the rolling flames rolled back and roared towards Blackbeard.
Boom!!! The fire waves rushed up to the sky, and the sea water near the coast was full of flames, seeming to be boiling.
…
Bang! Luffy was blown away.
Who is hitting me?
The rubber man rolled over and crawled up in the darkness, completely confused as to where was this?
Pineapple head! Ace!
"Rotten Tooth!" BANG! Luffy was yelling as another earthquake punch came at him. Luffy tried to dodge but couldn't move. His body seemed to be controlled by something.
Puff! As I was knocked backwards, it felt like a knife was cutting my body. It didn't hurt much, but I seemed to be bleeding a lot.
This is not good! Even Luffy, who is a very cautious person, knows that he has to hurry up.
Bang! Marco punched Luffy and sent him flying. He bounced around in the dark area and encountered a dense network of silk threads, which cut him all over.
Thief, hahaha! Don't bother! In my dark domain, you have no chance of struggling! In the endless darkness, it seems that Blackbeard's crazy laughter can be heard. I don't know if it is an auditory hallucination, or in this domain, only his voice can reach Luffy and Marco's ears.
Marco gritted his teeth, but he was controlled first, and it was not easy to break free from the puppet strings of the String-String Fruit. What's more, they were the dark puppet strings that Blackbeard had strengthened with the Dark-Dark Fruit!
Tick, tick…
Blood slid down.
Luffy said silently to the voice in the darkness: I will not fall here.
Hahaha! Who would think they would die? Even Father Whitebeard didn't think he would die in Marinford a year ago, right? Haha ...
But reality is reality! Straw Hat Boy! I won't lie! Luffy yelled at the darkness, I can't cook! I won't get lost! I can't sail! I can't play music! It's Sanji who cooks for me, so I won't starve to death! It's Chopper who treats me, so I won't die of illness or exhaustion! It's Lynch who taught me how to become a strong man, so I can get here! Without the help of my friends, I can't survive a day at all!
All I can do is that I will never die before becoming the Pirate King!
Luffy yelled in fear and simply closed his eyes, ignoring the annoying voice of the rotten tooth boy in the dark, the fists that hit him from time to time, and the "knife" that cut him. Anyway, he couldn't see, feel, and couldn't move his body.
If you can't see it, you don't know what's happening.
If you can't move, you can't dodge or use domineering defense.
Oh, right, domineering...
Inhale...exhale...
Luffy calmed down and recalled the key points of the Ripple Fist that Lynch had emphasized over and over again during the one year of hellish training.
"Ripples are alive."
Since you're alive, and I can't control my body now, you guys just come out and fight on yourselves!
Luffy took a deep breath, and at the moment he was hit by Marco's earthquake fist again, a hint of red and black domineering appeared on his skin that was hit by the earthquake halo as if in response to the stress.
Bang! …
Blackbeard's miserable screams were heard from the swaying black tide on the shore. He waved his arms in annoyance, and six extra arms grew out of the huge body constructed by the black tide. Then silk threads emerged and transformed into six famous copycat swords, Yanma, Ame-no-Habakiri, Ace, Griffin, Hades, and Fu Ping, which were held in his hands. Each sword was wrapped in the domineering color, and together with the silk thread-held Kusukume-kiri broadsword in both hands, they roared and slashed towards Ace.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Zoro blocked the Thread·Ame-Haze, Thread·Yanma, and Thread·Hades on one side and said with a smile: "Eight arms? This posture looks really familiar!"
"Whose did you copy? Hahaha!" Sanji and Franky went to block Thread·Ace, Thread·Griffin and Thread·Duckweed on the other side.
Franky let out a strange cry, and his whole body suddenly changed. Countless Franky alloys emerged from his body and wrapped him into an armored warrior. The copycat supreme sword Ace almost cut him in half.
Sanji was also wrapped in thick gold. The gold was shattered by the domineering color wrapped in the air, but it was buffered. Sanji clenched his teeth, and a touch of golden color appeared in the dark domineering color wrapped around his feet. Sanji showed joy, and his strength doubled, and he hit the power of the blade in the air...
Nami was much simpler. She stretched out her hand and grasped a mighty thunder dragon, condensing it into a lightning spear that was almost bright white and leaping. She aimed and threw it over. Ding! ! The thunder dragon spear and Spencer's famous sword, Duckweed, which was copied from Blackbeard, collided in the air, bursting out countless domineering lightning, as well as real lightning...
Boom... Only the silk thread was left. Kusugawa Kirei entangled in the domineering Haki and slashed through the crowd, but it didn't have much strength left and was easily dodged by Ace.
He looked at the people who came to help him, gasping for breath and said in surprise: "You..."
"This guy is one of the Four Emperors, right? He is our captain's prey!" Nami shouted from behind Ace, "You are not allowed to kill him alone before Luffy comes out!"
"Yes, that's it." Sanji bit the cigarette and smiled back.
"Aren't you free yet? Luffy, if you don't come out..." Zoro held on to the three swords and said with a grin, "This guy's head will be mine!"
"Hehe, that won't do!"
Luffy's voice came from the dark area. Zoro, Nami and others breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they saw the dark Blackbeard giant in front of them disintegrate like a tide, and a domineering red and black lightning shot up into the sky.
Ace looked closely and realized that the reason why the black tide of Blackbeard's awakening and assimilation was broken was because Luffy's fist had been imprinted on Teach's face - no, not "imprinted", but through the air! Ace's pupils shrank. This... Luffy's fist was wrapped with a strange red and black domineering aura, and it had already hit Blackbeard's face heavily through a gap of air.
Blackbeard's face was twisted and deformed little by little under the red and black domineering color's attack from a distance...
Luffy yelled, "This guy is mine!!!"
Boom!!! Red and black lightning burst out, Luffy's fist burst out with strength, and with one punch, Blackbeard's body was blown away like a siege shell. In the blink of an eye, he flew to the foot of the mountain hundreds of meters away. Like a hot knife cutting butter, he silently knocked a big hole through the mountain, and flew to the inside of the island without stopping, and even flew to the other side of the island...
"Hehe, finally got out!" Luffy had many cuts all over his body, and he held down his straw hat on the ground. Marco, who was also covered in wounds, gasped, looked up, and then looked at the back of the Straw Hat Boy, who seemed to have not recovered from Luffy's punch just now. Marco muttered to himself: "It's only been a year... How did he do this..."
"This?" Luffy looked at his palms and laughed, "After being hit by Lynch's stick many times, I found that Conqueror's Haki can also be entangled! Hehe..."
"Hehe, you bastard!" Ace walked out of the sea of fire and pointed at the other side of the island unhappily, "Teach is not dead yet! You beat him so far away, go and catch him back yourself!"
"Ah?" Luffy was stunned.
He looked around. Zoro and Sanji looked away. Nami shrugged, saying that she was too tired to run errands. Usopp waved his hands, saying that he was not a superman like you. Franky opened his stomach and said that the Coke was out of stock. This week, I was very unmotivated! Even Merry lay listlessly on top of Zoro's head. She only wanted to hug Heige and rub him comfortably for the whole day...
I hope no one snatches it! Luffy smiled and quickly slipped away to find Blackbeard.
