The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 542 The Final Battle

Three months later!

With the large-scale reorganization of the Navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have also undergone significant changes.

Newcomer Buggy is invited by the World Government and becomes a member of the new Shichibukai.

They occupied Kalai Bali in the New World and established "Pakistan Express".

Charlotte smiled as she looked at the headline "Thousand Taels Transformed into a Daoist" in the newspaper.

"This guy's luck has always been ridiculously bad, hasn't it?"

Then I looked at another report.

Two weeks ago, Blackbeard suddenly attacked the World Government and was immediately stripped of his title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The man who replaced Blackbeard was named Hanafza, nicknamed "The Lizard King".

A guy who has a passion for collecting Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

Charlotte knew that he was also Ace because Ace had defeated Blackbeard when he was hunting him down.

Therefore, there is no doubt that this guy possesses the strength of a Shichibukai, although he is likely the weakest of the Shichibukai.

Most importantly, Charlotte is now somewhat curious.

That guy with the black beard didn't hesitate to attack the World Government and lose his title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

What was the purpose of it all?

After all, the Heberfeller family never stopped hunting down Blackbeard, but the cunning fellow frequently changed locations and remained extremely vigilant.

Moreover, this time was quite different; the other party seemed to have stayed in one place for a long time without moving.

Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly. She was willing to give up her title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and stay in one place despite her own safety.

These two things are connected.

He had some guesses in his mind.

Only a powerful Devil Fruit could drive the ambitious Blackbeard to take such a risky action.

Since obtaining the Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit, Blackbeard has never stopped, actively traveling the world hunting down Devil Fruit users.

From this perspective, Blackbeard's ambition is extraordinary, just like his choices.

In particular, the Devil Fruits of the Blackbeard Pirates members are all quite extraordinary.

However, Charlotte is very confident about this "final battle".

They are the Heberfeller family, not the remnants of the Whitebeard!

The Blackbeard Pirates will definitely be completely wiped out by the Heberfeller family.

……

……

New World Kuratodi Island.

An island whose overall shape resembles a white dove.

On the mountaintop with a panoramic view!

Dressed in a standard military uniform, with Shiryu of the Rain wearing a ceremonial belt around his waist, a large cigar dangling from his lips, he gazed into the distance and spoke in a somber, low voice.

"Governor, when will the fruit fusion be completed?"

Poison Q, looking terminally ill and on the verge of death, lay weakly on the back of his horse "Zhuangzhuang".

"It should be soon... After all, it's a double Devil Fruit, so it's normal for it to take some time!"

It was clear that Shiryu of the Rain was quite dissatisfied with this answer.

It's important to know that the Heberfeller family's pursuit has never stopped. If they stay in one place for too long and get cornered, it will be a serious problem.

Seeing Shiryu of the Rain's expression, Bakis laughed arrogantly.

"Shiryu of the Rain, what are you afraid of? We can always fight."

Shiryu of the Rain lowered his hat brim slightly; he really didn't want to pay attention to this guy who had just gained the power of the Power-Power Fruit.

They were overconfident and completely failed to understand who their enemy was.

He's just a muscle-bound barbarian.

Wearing a black top hat and dressed in theatrical attire, Lafitte, known as the "Devil Sheriff," spoke with elegance and composure.

"It's alright! Even if we can't beat them, we can easily escape. After all, the Governor has perfectly fused with Whitebeard's Devil Fruit, so we'll definitely have a place in the Imperial Crew of the New World..."

"We still have to take some risks!"

Shiryu of the Rain couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

These guys, who had never directly fought the Heberfeller family, had the idea that the Heberfeller family was nothing special after all, since they had been coming up empty-handed for the past few months.

This also led to excessive and blind arrogance.

Shiryu of the Rain felt a sense of foreboding looming over him.

He said no more.

These guys are all Blackbeard's old cronies; he, the newcomer, hasn't fully gained their trust yet.

The colossus of the new world, the king of the old era—the terror within is beyond description.

Moreover, he had fought against other members of the Heberfeller family before, whose strength was far beyond what they could handle now.

To put it bluntly, if two of the six kings of the Heberfeller family were here, Blackbeard would be absent.

They are all likely doomed to die.

As for the Immortal King Marco, he's a bit weaker, so he probably still has a chance.

At some point, Van Augur, the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates, nicknamed "Sound Leap," who possesses the Paramecia-type Instant Transmission Fruit ability, appeared among them.

The sniper on guard duty, Van Oka, was here.

Shiryu of the Rain frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong. An idea popped into his head, and his gaze sharpened.

Before he could even ask, Van Auger said stiffly.

"The Heberfeller family has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shiryu of the Rain couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!

"Damn it!!!"

Navigator Lafitte elegantly raised his pale fingertips, licked them with his tongue, and said disdainfully.

"Shiryu of the Rain, everyone says you're bloodthirsty, but who knew you were just a coward!"

Shiryu of the Rain completely ignored Laffitte's sarcastic remarks and retorted fiercely.

"I hope you can still smile later."

Lafitte, whose face was deathly pale and looked somewhat frightening, didn't seem to care.

Instead, a hint of excitement appeared on his slightly strange face.

The new world will surely have a place for them.

Lafitte firmly believed that the governor would realize his ambitions and that they would become a powerful force that would dominate the seas.

It all started with the so-called six kings of the Heberfeller family.

That kind of thinking was crazy and perverse, and he wasn't the only one who thought that way; Buckys, Doc Q, and Van Augur all thought the same way.

"Roar~"

A deafening roar resounded, and four enormous creatures blotted out the sky.

That was a giant dragon created by the Heberfeller family, a powerful mount exclusively for the six kings.

With their extraordinary technology, the Heberfeller family can now easily cultivate and create dragons.

The group looked up.

The newcomers were none other than the four kings of House Heberfeller!

Barrett, the King of Demons!

Jhin, the King of Thunder!

The King of Ice—Aokiji!

The Immortal King—Marco!

"Damn it!"

Looking at the opponent's lineup, Shiryu of the Rain felt dizzy, except for Marco being a bit weak.

Aside from those three being true generals, Barrett is recognized by the Hibernian family as the third royal-level fighter.

The four of them rode on a giant dragon, hovering indifferently high in the sky, looking down at the ground.

"You're the ones!"

Barrett spoke coldly, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

Aside from the initial frustrations of starting their business, this was the first time they had ever suffered a loss against a group of unknown pirate crews.

They had been chasing these guys for months, and these creatures, who were like underground rats hiding here and there, had really frustrated Barrett and his team.

Suddenly, a black figure soared into the air and arrived in front of Jin with lightning speed.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar and flashes of lightning, Jin easily repelled the attacker.

Then, it floated down to the ground, and at the same time, the figure also landed back in the same spot.

Jin looked closely and was somewhat surprised; this person's strength was quite impressive.

"Is this Jhin, the Thunder King of House Heberfeller?"

Lafitte looked at Jin, his smile extremely eerie, as if he were a madman.

"Are you that navigator Lafitte?"

"No, no, no, I'm the devilish Sheriff Lafitte!"

Lafitte laughed maniacally.

Jin frowned as he looked at him. This guy must have some serious illness!

With the target confirmed, Jhin decisively made his move, unleashing a barrage of terrifying lightning lasers.

Lafitte sprouted wings from his back and his body vanished instantly.

Jin frowned slightly. A Zoan-type Devil Fruit?

There's really not much information about this guy. Even he doesn't know what kind of Devil Fruit ability he has.

A terrifying claw suddenly attacked from behind him, but Jin's Observation Haki had already detected it, and Armament Haki instantly covered his entire body.

"Clang!"

A crisp, clear impact rang out, followed by a burst of sparks. At the same time, lightning erupted from behind Jin, transforming into a ferocious and bloodthirsty thunder dragon.

"boom!"

The powerful thunder dragon pierced the air and destroyed the low mountain behind it, but unfortunately it did not directly hit Lafitt's body.

"This is really troublesome~"

In the blink of an eye, Jin spread his wings and soared into the sky, his crossed arms emitting a dazzling light.

"Thunderclap - Cross Slash!"

In an instant, streaks of lightning and cross-shaped light lit up the sky, flashing and unleashing countless cross-shaped lightning slashes.

"Boom!"

A lightning cross cleaved through the clouds, pouring down and covering the entire mountaintop, creating a powerful explosive shockwave.

Dust billowed, gravel flew everywhere, and one after another, dark craters appeared on the ground.

However, there was no one there anymore.

Van Augur teleported to evade the attack and appeared on another hilltop.

Marco locked onto his target instantly.

Blue flames swept across the sky, and Marco roared in, only to be struck by a boulder more than ten meters high the next moment.

The one who made the move was none other than Burgess, the user of the Power-Power Fruit.

Marco, who had been ambushed, looked grim. The boulder had little effect on him, but it was a slap in the face.

"Bang bang bang!"

Van Oka fired several shots, the powerful impact aimed directly at Barrett's head.

"Clang, clang!"

Van Augur's expression changed slightly.

The three bullets that hit Barrett perfectly were all deformed in front of his jet-black forehead.

Barrett's powerful Armament Haki even amazed Charlotte.

Van Augur's current strength is far too weak; he simply cannot break through the defense.

"The Ice Age!"

Aokiji spoke in a low voice, and an endless chill erupted, freezing the air and creating an icy world in an instant.

Lafitte's high-speed movements on the battlefield were affected.

Jin seized the opportunity, appearing beside his opponent with the agility of a dragon. His fist, imbued with Armament Haki, was engulfed in flames and crackling with lightning.

"boom!"

Space itself seemed to distort, and Lafitte suffered a severe blow, with large areas of his body turning black from the attack.

It crashed heavily to the ground.

In an instant, Lafitte's body seemed to shed its skin, returning to its original state at the speed of light.

A look of surprise appeared on Jin's face.

"That's a really powerful Mythical Zoan ability!"

Lafitte remained silent; he seemed to have greatly underestimated his opponent.

Barrett leaped into the air and gave a soft shout.

"Frenzy - Meteor Fist!"

The rapidly swinging iron fist emitted a red glow from friction, and the black and red swirling energy surged wildly, shaking the void.

The astonishingly terrifying aura instantly sent chills down everyone's spines.

Van Augur activated his teleportation ability without hesitation once again.

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed across the entire sky, and raging crimson lightning spread wildly, shattering everything in its path in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, the dazzling light dissipated, revealing a deep, empty pit that sent chills down one's spine.

This is Barrett, the most powerful of the six kings and the Demon King.

A single punch can be terrifying.

Several nearby mountains were also directly shaken down.

The intense sense of oppression made it difficult to breathe.

Having perfectly dodged the attack, Doc Q was the first to recover and immediately unleashed his Devil Fruit power on Barrett.

"Plague - Women's Disease"

His Devil Fruit ability can forcibly alter human genes, causing mutations that can produce extremely terrifying viruses...

It's a rather overpowered Devil Fruit ability.

Barrett frowned slightly, noticing something was wrong with his body.

The next moment, an endless surge of Conqueror's Haki burst forth, directly breaking Doc Q's Paramecia-type Disease-Disease Fruit ability.

This is how Conqueror's Haki counters overpowered Devil Fruit abilities, as long as Conqueror's Haki is strong enough.

Therefore, the abilities of some so-called bug-level Devil Fruits can be broken.

Clearly, Barrett's Conqueror's Haki is equally outrageous, befitting his status as the third strongest member of the Heberfeller family.

After Doc Q's attack was neutralized, he couldn't help but cough, looking as if he was about to die.

Those are all effects of Devil Fruit abilities, commonly known as side effects, just like Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit, the current warden of Impel Down.

Barrett paused, his figure blurring as he hurtled straight toward the Blackbeard Pirates at incredible speed.

Shiryu of the Rain's pupils contracted, and the Thunderstorm Blade flashed wildly with a chilling killing intent.

A blood-red slash soared towards Barrett.

The slash emitted an astonishing crimson line.

Barrett was slightly surprised; it seemed that this traitor from Impel Down had improved his strength quite a bit over the years!

He possesses the strength of a great swordsman, but compared to great swordsmen like Charlotte, the gap is too large.

The difference between people is like the difference between sword masters.

Barrett charged forward relentlessly, unleashing a devastating punch.

"Boom!"

"Buzz~"

The fierce and domineering attack tore apart the Sky-Piercing Slash in just a moment, and the violent tremor reverberated all around.

Shiryu of the Rain dared not be negligent, and the thunder and rain continued to lash out.

"Clang!"

A crisp, melodious sound of refined iron clashing rang out, and a fierce, immense force erupted, sending his entire body flying backward uncontrollably.

Barrett shook his hand, leaving a faint white mark on his fist.

"Not bad, Shiryu of the Rain, you've improved a bit."

Shiryu of the Rain, who had gotten up injured, did not offer any rebuttal to Barrett's words.

What are the opponent's strengths?

There's no denying it; he's considering whether or not to evacuate.

If it weren't for Blackbeard's strength and ambition attracting him, he probably would have fled long ago in the face of the Four Kings.

"Let's finish this battle quickly!"

Jin spoke calmly, saying that completing the task assigned by the boss was the most important thing.

Moreover, the black-bearded man hadn't appeared yet, which made him somewhat wary.

After all, the opponent's performance in the Marineford War was quite extraordinary.

That was his intuition, and Charlotte's personal opinion on Blackbeard was mixed.

However, one point I strongly agree with is that the other party is very strong and has great potential for the future.

He's a tricky guy.

Aokiji, Marco, and Barrett all nodded in unison.

This ongoing battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates should come to an end here.

The four kings are preparing to act simultaneously to end the conflict once and for all.

This immediately made the Blackbeard Pirates' expressions serious, a stark contrast to their previous demeanor.

This time we were really careless.
