The long sword flew past where Blackbeard had just stood, leaving streaks of blood.
And just the next second after Blackbeard disappeared, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's figure landed gently on the ground, and then he swung the long sword in his hand, and several sword beams instantly chased in the direction where Blackbeard reappeared.
After failing to hit the target with the first strike, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni didn't want to give Blackbeard any chance to breathe, so he directly drew his sword and pursued him.
Blackbeard's reaction was indeed very fast. Even though Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who had entered the transparent world, was able to hide all his breath, Blackbeard still made an effective evasive response to Yoriichi Tsugakuni's sudden attack.
The Dark-Dark Fruit enhanced all of his body's senses, amplifying pain several times. Other senses were also greatly amplified due to the devil fruit.
With the help of this ability, combined with the thick fat on the back of Blackbeard's neck, he was able to successfully escape from the attack of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
However, Blackbeard, who had just dodged a fatal blow from Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, had no time to check the damage he had suffered. What he was facing was a series of slashing attacks released by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni.
The slashes were so dense that they reflected into Blackbeard's pupils.
Use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to resist? When Blackbeard raised his head, the slash had already reached him. It was too late to mobilize his own power and punch to resist in such a situation.
Can only hide.
The power of the Shun Shun Fruit gives Blackbeard an extremely strong ability to protect his life. As long as he can detect the opponent's attack, the power of the Shun Shun Fruit can help him get out of trouble and survive the danger.
Blackbeard vanished silently from the spot. The power of the Shun Shun Fruit was displayed twice in succession in front of Tsugakuin Yoriichi, causing a solemn expression to appear on his face.
Before this, he had only guessed about Blackbeard's abilities, although when he was on the ship, he also heard Aramaki describing the power of Blackbeard's devil fruit to Kuzan through the Den Den Mushi.
However, there is no way to truly trust enemy intelligence without personally confirming it.
Although Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's Observation Haki is strong enough, the predictive ability of Observation Haki is limited when facing the abilities of devil fruits with unknown capabilities.
Only when Yoshiichi Tsugakuni used his transparent world to see Blackbeard use his ability twice in a row in front of him, did Yoshiichi Tsugakuni confirm that Blackbeard really had the ability to teleport.
Judging from the abilities Blackbeard has demonstrated so far, the power of the Instant Instant Fruit is a bit too terrifying.
Blackbeard can teleport without any restrictions. He is naturally invincible because of this power.
This is probably more powerful than the two famous space ninjutsu in the Naruto world, Flying Thunder God and Sky Hand Power.
Because Flying Thunder God's instant movement has traces, a mark needs to be engraved in advance before moving in space; as for the so-called Sky Hand Power, it requires an entity as the target of space exchange.
Of course, it is difficult to determine which abilities are better or worse in different combat scenarios.
But from the perspective of saving his life alone, the new devil fruit ability that Blackbeard obtained is the best one.
There seems to be no limit to the space movement
Even Yoriichi Tsugakuni found such an enemy difficult to deal with.
When Blackbeard's figure appeared in everyone's sight again, he was already 20 to 30 meters away from Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Mihawk.
Blackbeard, feeling that he had created a safe zone, looked up at Ji Guoyuan who suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The relief and anger on his face for surviving the disaster turned into astonishment and confusion.
"you"
“You are a guy.”
Blackbeard looked at the young face of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi and was a little dazed for a moment.
He felt that he must have seen Tsugikuni Yuichiro somewhere, but for a moment he forgot where he had seen this young man.
After staring for a long time, Blackbeard asked uncertainly:
"Are you Yoriichi Tsugakuni?!" Obviously, Blackbeard had recognized Yoriichi Tsugakuni's face, but what made him judge was the Dawn in Yoriichi Tsugakuni's hand.
In this world, the number of black knives is extremely limited.
Among so many famous and powerful people in the world, the only men who possess black swords are Mihawk and Yoriichi Tsugikuni back then.
Even Pirate King Roger and Whitebeard never cultivated their weapons into black swords.
The black knife in Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's hand combined with his current face made it possible for Blackbeard to recognize Tsugakuni Yoshiichi in front of him.
However, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni had no intention of paying attention to Blackbeard. He gently raised the long sword in his hand, turned around quickly, and swung several slashes towards Mihawk.
The terrifying domineering aura compressed into black lightning the moment it was released, and the moment it slashed the darkness around Mihawk, Mihawk felt that the power that bound him was greatly weakened. The continuous darkness was also cut off by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash, giving him the opportunity to break free from Blackbeard's restraints.
"Buzz—"
The terrifying domineering Haki burst out from Mihawk's body. With the assistance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Mihawk was able to break free from Blackbeard's ability with relatively less Haki.
After successfully escaping from the darkness, Mihawk quickly came to the side of Tsugakuni Yoriichi. When he looked at Blackbeard, his eyes were not only a little more vigilant, but also revealed a strong murderous intent.
Although he still had a trump card sword move that he hadn't used yet, Mihawk himself didn't know if it would be enough to help him escape from the predicament if he unleashed his full strength.
Although Yoriichi Tsugakuni seemed to have easily cut off the darkness created by the Dark-Dark Fruit, what Yoriichi Tsugakuni could do did not necessarily mean that Mihawk could do it.
Mihawk is proud, but he never thinks too highly of himself. He will objectively evaluate his own strength. Only in this way can he continue to grow.
Blackbeard also saw the scene of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi helping Mihawk escape from trouble. His attack on Mihawk was blocked by the other party, and that kind of strength also shocked Blackbeard.
Blackbeard was well aware of the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit. Although the red-haired youth hadn't personally admitted his identity, Blackbeard became even more convinced of his own speculation.
Only someone as strong as Yoriichi Tsugakuni could use Haki to break the power of the devil fruit so easily.
With the arrival of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the combat power levels between the new navy and the pirates were completely unbalanced.
If he was only dealing with Mihawk and Aramaki, two powerful members of the New Navy, Blackbeard would have a chance to repel them by relying on his double fruits and his own domineering power. Even if he was smart enough and used the combat tactics well, he would have a chance to defeat both Mihawk and Aramaki.
Look, if Yoshikazu Tsugakuni had not appeared, Blackbeard would have already succeeded by now.
However, the appearance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni put great psychological pressure on Blackbeard, and he was a little hesitant to fight with such a famous strong man like Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
The pain in the back of his neck and the wetness on his back made Blackbeard's mind extremely clear. Reaching out and touching behind him, Blackbeard saw that his palms were full of blood and the strong smell of blood was spreading rapidly.
retreat? !
If he just left like this, Blackbeard would be more or less unwilling to accept it. He had finally obtained the ability he had always dreamed of. How could he allow the first enemies he encountered after his "debut" to be people whom he could not afford to offend alone?
Even if it was Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Blackbeard had the idea of letting Yoriichi Tsugakuni taste his power at this moment.
Yes, Blackbeard did not choose to escape immediately. Instead, he looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni carefully, and actually planned to have a one-on-one confrontation with Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
"sand--"
The soles of Blackbeard's shoes rubbed against the ground gently. Blackbeard did not move away from Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, but instead slightly shifted his front and back feet, preparing for a defensive counterattack.
He wanted to experience for himself whether Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who killed his "godfather" Whitebeard, really had the ability to defeat him.
The power of the Shun Shun Fruit gave Blackbeard the confidence to continue to dangle in front of Yoshikazu Tsugakuin!
“Thief hahahaha!!!”
When Blackbeard thought that even someone like Yoshiichi Tsugakuni would choose to attack him by sneak attack, he actually felt honored. He burst into laughter, and his eyes revealed deep excitement.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, it's really you!"
"Didn't you die at the hands of the World Government?!"
"But you haven't shown up in all these years. Are you trying to lure the World Government into the New World?"
"Hahahaha. That's a sinister plan, just like when you attacked me with your knife just now!"
"But I'm sorry to disappoint you. Your sneak attack didn't succeed!"
Blackbeard suddenly burst into laughter, and his words were full of sarcasm towards Yoriichi Tsugakuni. He hoped to lure Yoriichi Tsugakuni to attack, so that he would have the opportunity to capture Yoriichi Tsugakuni with the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
However, in the face of Blackbeard's ridicule, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi remained calm. After helping Mihawk escape, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not continue to attack, but just observed Blackbeard.
Confident and outspoken.
In the early years, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni never took Blackbeard seriously. At that time, the enemies he had to face were the Five Elders, Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido.
Blackbeard is just one of the many pirates in the Whitebeard Pirates. How could Yoriichi pay attention to this pirate?
Although he had never dealt with Blackbeard before, from Blackbeard's series of behaviors today, Tsugikoku Yoriichi also noticed that the other party had an arrogant and even domineering character.
This kind of confidence and publicity may be the breakthrough to defeat Blackbeard.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Jiguo Yuanyi already had a countermeasure.
"Leave the rest of the battle to me!"
"I'm sorry, Mihawk, for stealing your opponent. In return, all the pirate leaders on Beehive Island will be handed over to you and Aramaki."
Tsugikoku Yoriichi tilted his head slightly and spoke to Mihawk behind him with a gentle smile. Although he said sorry, Mihawk did not see any "sorry" on Tsugikoku Yoriichi's face.
"I see."
"That guy's strength is far from comparable to yours, but his abilities are very tricky. You'd better not get into trouble!"
Blackbeard obviously left a very deep impression on Mihawk. After giving him a heavy-hearted warning, Mihawk quietly retreated and really ignored the battlefield here. He quickly reunited with Aramaki, and then the two of them, with a group of new navy soldiers outside the battlefield, rushed towards the pirates watching the battle on the other side.
The pirates hadn't recovered from the disappearance of Wang Zhi due to the appearance of Blackbeard. While they were still shocked by the appearance of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, they saw the new navy, led by Mihawk and Aramaki, rushing towards them.
For a moment, these former Hive cadres had no desire to fight.
Without Wang Zhi as the backbone, no pirate could unite the pirates of Hive, who had complicated interests, into a whole.
When facing a powerful enemy like Mihawk, this group of rabble actually only had one thought in their minds, which was to run as far as possible!
If we can escape from the battlefield and run to a place where the new navy can't find us, that would be considered a success!
On the battlefield, the new navy and the pirates fought hand-to-hand, and noisy shouts of killing rang out.
However, those voices did not affect the confrontation between Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Blackbeard. They both looked at their opponents quietly, and no one took the initiative.
Tsugikoku Yuichi.
To Blackbeard, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who is of the same age as him, is more like a strong man from the previous era.
Because during the period when Jigoku Yoshida became famous, the strongest people on this sea were Whitebeard and Roger.
Yoriichi Tsugakuni also left an extremely deep impression in Blackbeard's heart.
I was eighteen that year, standing on the deck like a minion.
This is the absolute gap in status and strength between Blackbeard when he was young and Yoriichi Tsugikuni back then.
But after all these years, he, Tichi, finally stepped to the forefront. He thought that even if it was Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he was qualified to compete with the other party!
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi."
"Actually, I've wanted to fight you for a long time!"
Tiqi spoke his true feelings and became emotional.
Tsugukuni Yoriichi rose to fame at a young age, possessing exceptional talent and formidable strength. To Blackbeard, his peers, Tsugukuni Yoriichi was like the so-called "other people's kid."
How could Blackbeard not envy Yoriichi Tsugakuni's life experience?
If he could, why would he choose to lie low and live a low-key life for decades?
The high spirits of his youth? Blackbeard never experienced that feeling. All he had was the forbearance of not knowing what lay ahead.
When Yoriichi Tsugakuni, whose life was going smoothly and his future was bright, appeared before him again, Blackbeard's murderous intent towards Yoriichi Tsugakuni became stronger and stronger.
