Chapter 471 - 473 (1/2)
The headquarters of the Sea Patrol.
Hiding under the black curtain, Teach was finally able to get what he had been craving for all these years — the power of Belous, Gura Gura no Mi!
Teach came out from behind the black curtain, accompanied by the intense gazes of many sentries, and with a loud laugh, he lifted the curtain, revealing the lifeless body of Belous.
”Ze-ha-ha-ha.”
”It's time to renew the feud, watchmen!”
Blackbeard spread his hands to the sides and laughed loudly, looking at the numerous patrollers around.
The watchers looked at Teach warily and uncomprehendingly.
”Nothing seems to have changed at all...”
”What did Blackbeard do to Whitebeard's body?!”
A lot of thoughts flashed through the heads of high-ranking patrollers.
Just at this moment, Garp's massive fist, which was looking gloomily at the Blackbeard Pirates, was enveloped by the will of the armament.
The Hero of the Watch abruptly pushed off from the ground, rushing straight to Blackbeard.
”Come on!”
With a grin, Teach clenched and raised his fist, standing in exactly the same position as Belous in the past, and then sharply struck forward, towards Garp's fist.
Crack!!!
A loud sound of breaking glass rolled across the battlefield.
Accompanied by the shocked and disbelieving looks of many people, Blackbeard's fist smashed the air like the surface of a mirror and released the force of an earthquake, firmly blocking the strike of the Hero of the Watch!
Numerous lookouts screamed in horror, bȧrėly keeping their balance on the shuddering island.
”What a joke...”
”This is the power of Belous...how is this possible?!”
Everyone present looked at Teach in disbelief and shock.
Even the rage in the eyes of the Pirates of Belous was replaced by shock when Blackbeard used the power of Gura Gura no Mi.
”Blackbeard, that bastard...”
”But how...how can a person eat two devil fruits at once?!”
Someone said in amazement.
Marco ground his teeth: ”Of course, a normal person can't eat two devil fruits, but the structure of Teach's body is different from normal...”
Somewhere in the middle of the battlefield, on a pile of ruins, a Doflamingo was sitting, looking at Black Beard in the distance with a grin: ”Fu-fu-fu, it's getting more and more fun, but the ability to eat two devil fruits is actually not that amazing...”
Doflamingo was not shocked at all by what had happened, remembering from the three devil fruits eaten by Yeruashi like an appetizer, without any visible side effects at all.
Blackbeard slowly raised his hands in front of him, accompanied by the gazes of countless people.
The right fist was wrapped in a white halo, and the left palm was wrapped in darkness, like a black flame.
”The power of darkness that can negate all other abilities, and the power of an earthquake that can crush everything.”
”The combination of these abilities is invincible! From now on, I am...the strongest in the world!!”
Blackbeard's loud cry echoed throughout the Marine Patrol headquarters.
These words were heard not only here, but also on many islands around the world, to which the image from the headquarters was still broadcast.
Numerous civilians felt a strong tremor in their hearts when they heard Blackbeard's words.
The combination of the power of Yami Yami no Mi and Gura Gura no Mi in one body.
But.
When the battlefield was silent for a while, suddenly there was the sound of wooden sandals slowly stepping on the ice.
It was unclear why, but in this huge and chaotic battlefield, the soft sound of footsteps clearly reached the ears of every one of the people present.
Blackbeard froze and squinted, looking in the direction from which the sound of footsteps came.
Garp, Sengoku, and the others abruptly turned their heads, staring intently in the same direction.
Phoenix Marco, Diamond Joz and Doflamingo were looking in the same direction, along with the rest of the Pirates of Belous, members of the Revolutionary Army and numerous patrollers who were chasing them.
Video den den mushi also turned in the direction from which the sound of footsteps came, and brought the image closer, giving the maximum close-up.
Soon, a relaxed figure with silver-white hair, wearing a simple white raincoat and wooden sandals appeared in that direction, in the middle of the white fog that had risen above the frozen sea.
As his silhouette became more and more clear, the vast battlefield gradually fell into silence.
At the same time, in the middle of the sea, not far from the headquarters of the Sea Patrol, on the front deck of a large pirate ship, a red-haired Shanks froze in amazement.
After a short pause, he turned his head and loudly exclaimed, ” Turn the ship around, everything is canceled.”
Lucky Roo took a bite of meat and asked in surprise: ”Captain, have you decided not to go to the patrol headquarters?”
”There's no need for that anymore.”
Shanks said calmly, returning to his cabin.
The ship of the Red-Haired Pirates turned around in the sea near the headquarters of the Sea Patrol and quickly sailed into the distance, gradually disappearing behind the horizon, as if it had never appeared here at all.
At the same time.
The headquarters of the Sea Patrol.
Yeruashi leisurely walked on the ice and climbed up to the island, accompanied by the views of many people.
”It's the same...Traveler!!”
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Apu, who was watching the broadcast intently: ”Hey, hey...why did he show up at the headquarters of the Marine Patrol at such a moment?!”
”The closest to God...”
Eustace Kid clenched his fists.
”The most dangerous man in the world...”
The Mad Monk Urog whispered softly.
”It's him...”
Quina took a deep breath, looking at the figure of Yeruashi in the distance.
At this moment, not only the supernovae who were watching the broadcast on some island, but also Quina, Zoro, Aokiji, Momousagi and the others who were at the headquarters of the Marine Patrol were asking the same question.
”The traveler...”
Admiral of the Sengoku Fleet clenched his fists tightly, looking extremely tense at the slowly walking Yeruashi.
Being not only an Admiral of the Fleet, but also a person who had twice fought with a Traveler, Sengoku realized like no one else how terrible this man was!
From his point of view, even Blackbeard, who had obtained two incredibly strong devil fruits, was much less scary than Yeruashi.
If we identify all the special abilities demonstrated by Yeruashi up to this point as the abilities of the devil fruit, we can conclude that he has at least five abilities of the devil fruit!
Perhaps Tich has an incredibly unique and rare body structure, but Yeruashi...just not a person!!
Yeruashi strolled unhurriedly across the battlefield, glancing briefly at the numerous corpses and the stopped Pirates of Belous.
After a while, he stopped and said calmly: ”I have come to stop this war!”
His calm and low voice rang through the vast battlefield, clearly sounding in the ears of everyone present.
This voice, which seemed to have some kind of hypnotic power, instantly weakened the combat intent of many sentinels.
The hostile and bloody atmosphere that reigned on the battlefield immediately noticeably weakened.
«...»
Sengoku whispered, looking intently at Yeruashi,”Stop the war?”
Yeruashi briefly scanned the battlefield, glancing at Luffy, Nami, Sabo, Marco, Kuina, Aokiji, Momousagi and the others, then calmly said: ”The continuation of this senseless war will only lead to an increase in casualties on both sides. Let the war end with the death of Belous, that's enough.”
Vice Admiral Onigumo exclaimed indignantly, ” What kind of joke is this?! The escape of the Fire Fist and the Pirates of Belous will be an indelible disgrace for...”
”We agree.”
Sengoku turned to Yeruashi, abruptly interrupting Onigumo's words, and turned his head, looking gloomily at the Blackbeard Pirates: ”But even if the Sea Patrol is ready to abandon the war, there will still be people who are eager to continue it...”
Yeruashi nodded gently and looked at the Blackbeard Pirates.
Blackbeard, who had been staring intently at Yeruashi all this time, felt a strong tremor in his heart at this moment, but quickly regained calm, feeling the mighty power of Gura Gura and Yami Yami no Mi in his body.
”Although that time, many years ago, you really managed to instill fear in my heart, but I am no longer afraid of you, Traveler! After all, now I am the strongest...”
Phew!
