Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Like a sword blade capable of slicing through the air, the buzzing sound sent chills down one's spine.

"Overlord Blade!"

"Dark water!"

The black blade struck Teach's hastily raised arms, and the defensive layer formed by dark matter and Armament Haki groaned under the strain.

The terrifying force of the slash pierced through the defenses, causing Teach's arm bones to crack slightly, and excruciating pain surged through him like a tidal wave.

"Damn it!"

Teach roared with rage, his face contorted with pain and humiliation.

If his plan had succeeded completely, if he had been able to obtain the coveted strongest Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and then announce the arrival of a new era to the world, he would never have found himself in such a sorry state!

Lacking that crucial fruit, his power system ultimately had flaws, failing to reach the flawless, all-conquering level he envisioned.

In front of this straw hat boy, Teach truly felt what a life-or-death crisis was for the first time!

He possesses the top-tier Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit ability, his physical skills have been honed to a formidable level, and his mastery of both types of Haki is absolutely not weak.

However, the problem lies in relying too much on the fruit's abilities.

Logically speaking, this method should be effective against ability users.

But Luffy is a monster; he doesn't play by the rules at all!

Even without using that strange rubber ability, his unparalleled physical and sword skills alone make him even more lethal.

"It hurts! Straw Hat!" Teach yelled hoarsely.

Hands covered in viscous darkness gripped the blade of the demonic sword tightly.

The blade cut into the darkness of the palm with great resistance, but it continued to slowly penetrate deeper. Blood gushed out from the blade and dripped onto the ground, making a hissing, corrosive sound.

"Aren't you supposed to be very patient?"

Luffy's voice was cold, with a hint of sarcasm.

He suddenly exerted force with his wrist, and his body spun at high speed like a top!

Swish swish!

The demonic black blade then transformed into a dazzling array of black blades, accompanied by a piercing shriek as it cut through the air.

The Conqueror's Haki Black Lightning and Armament Haki Flowing Sakura wrapped around it sparked dazzling sparks!

Teach dared not try to catch the ferocious slash with his bare hands any longer. In haste, he activated his Armament Haki to cover his arms and threw out his fists.

"Hidden Fist!"

"Rotary blade!"

boom!

The sword and fist did not collide directly; when they were still inches apart, the two powerful auras crashed together.

The black and red Conqueror's Haki and Haki collided, and a semi-transparent spherical shockwave suddenly spread out from the two of them.

Rumble.

This impact was more violent than any previous collision.

With Luffy and Teach's feet as the origin, the once sturdy Impel Down ground cracked layer by layer like a fragile biscuit, and huge cracks spread wildly in a radial pattern, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius.

The rubble shot into the sky, only to be crushed into dust in the powerful aftershocks.

The massive rock pillars supporting the superstructure groaned under the weight, their surfaces covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and large chunks of rock began to crumble.

The entire Impel Down was filled with wails.

"We can't fight here any longer!" Ivankov's hair stood on end as the violent blast of air hit him.

He glanced around; the surrounding buildings were all collapsing.

Chapter 351 The Supreme Overlord Blade!

Ivankov knew that even Impel Down couldn't withstand a battle of this magnitude.

It's important to understand that the lower levels of Impel Down are mostly underwater. If the main structure were to collapse on a large scale and seawater were to flood in, it would be a catastrophic disaster for most of the ability users present.

Moreover, the structural collapse was not limited to the battlefield between Luffy and Blackbeard.

On the other side, the battle between Shiki the Golden Lion and Admiral Kuzan Aokiji has also reached a fever pitch!

"Hehehehe! You ice-cold brat, is this all the power you have?!"

The golden lion laughed loudly, its body nimbly dodging dozens of huge ice spears that shot towards it.

Although he was not at his peak and still had a ridiculous ship's wheel stuck in his head, he still managed to fight Aokiji to a standstill thanks to the absolute air superiority granted by the Float-Float Fruit and his seasoned combat experience.

This isn't a place where a single move can decide the outcome.

"Alara, can you be frozen by me? Then there won't be so much trouble here." Aokiji showed no mercy, not even caring about the collapsing hell.

"Hey, hey, hey, there's seawater all outside!"

As the Golden Lion manipulated the rubble to hurl at Aokiji like cannonballs, he shouted in a mocking tone, "If you don't want everyone here to sink into the sea, how about you use your abilities to freeze this entire sea for me? Otherwise, this war will be too boring!"

He was already thinking about what to do next.

Impel Down's floating buildings are barely even an island, making fighting feel restrictive and completely unsatisfying.

Aokiji's abilities seem pretty good.

Why should I take orders from a pirate?

Aokiji remained expressionless, exhaling chilling white breath as the ice beneath his feet rapidly spread. "If Impel Down really collapses and falls into the sea, I'll freeze you all and then slowly retrieve you."

"Hehehe!"

The golden lion laughed wildly, "That's no fun! In that case, I'll just take them and fly away right now."

Aokiji's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Am I being threatened?"

He certainly wouldn't compromise with pirates.

However, the plan proposed by Golden Lion strangely aligned with the Navy's most pressing strategic objective at that moment.

If Shiki were to use the power of the Float-Float Fruit to take the Straw Hat Pirates and the rest of the crew away from this area, the Navy's massive deployment would become a complete joke.

Not only did they fail to execute Fire Fist Ace, but they also lost Impel Down, letting go of a large number of vicious pirates, including Golden Lion Shiki and Crocodile. This will be a devastating blow to the prestige of the Navy and even the World Government.

On the other side, before the dust from Luffy and Blackbeard's clash had settled, Teach's staggering figure gradually became clear amidst the thick dust and mist.

"Has it worked?"

Luffy looked at Blackbeard, narrowed his eyes, and glanced at the demonic energy in his hand.

"As expected, this kind of attack is the most effective."

An attack imbued with Conqueror's Haki.

Even Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit couldn't be fully absorbed.

He always said that there is no one in this world who cannot be killed.

If so, it's just that their strength hasn't reached that level yet.

Even monsters die when they are killed!

Luffy is very confident, especially after learning the Binding Technique, which symbolizes his move towards becoming one of the strongest in the world.

Blackbeard's abilities may be strange, but they are ultimately just Devil Fruit powers.

Only domineering power transcends everything!

This is the conclusion Luffy has drawn after fighting more and more enemies.

Teach is indeed a monster, able to endure any kind of pain; the Dark-Dark Fruit is truly a perfect match for him.

Teach can absorb all ordinary attacks with his Devil Fruit powers without suffering any pain.

But Luffy is different.

A punch or a knife could cause him immense pain.

Just like the attack we just witnessed.

Two deep, gruesome wounds, visible to the naked eye, appeared on Teach's crossed arms.

Dark red blood was gushing out, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound.

Dark matter was still wriggling around the wound, trying to heal, but at a much slower pace than before!

Conqueror's Haki is an ability that counters all fancy and overpowered abilities.

"Hahaha, yeah, this kind of attack is very effective."

Blackbeard Teach, panting heavily, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes, said, "That kind of power is rare even on the high seas. It's a technique that only true kings can use!"

He paused, and the ominous dark aura around him began to surge, faintly forming a layer of flowing black armor on his body!

"But Straw Hat! Can you keep using that level of power indefinitely? Haki consumption must be intense!"

"Originally, I didn't want to use this move so early; maintaining this posture isn't very comfortable."

Teach grinned maliciously, and the layer of dark armor gradually solidified. On its chest, dark matter formed two black skulls that seemed to have life of their own!

Two dark red lights flickered in the empty eye sockets of the skull.

"Have you heard of Devil Fruit awakening?"

Blackbeard spread his arms wide, as if embracing the ever-flowing darkness. "The awakening of a Zoan-type grants superhuman resilience and vitality. The awakening of a Paramecia-type grants the ability to influence the surrounding environment and endow it with characteristics at the level of rules."

"So, what does the awakening of a Logia-type user look like? Have you ever seen it?"

Luffy's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had personally experienced the awakening of Zoan-type Devil Fruits, and had also heard of the awakening of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits.

But this is indeed the first time I've seen a Logia-type Devil Fruit awaken.
