One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

He also knocked the joystick that controlled the ship's direction askew, and the entire ship immediately began to shake violently.

But Teach didn't care at all. She just clenched her fists, her left hand emitting a large amount of black gas, and her right fist bent at the elbow, creating a white shockwave. The atmosphere vibrated rapidly within that spherical shockwave, turning into tiny particles. She looked at the main control room door with a wary expression, and even her voice was distorted due to excessive shock.

"Bar...Bar...Barrett!! You...what are you doing here?"

The entrance to the main control room was blocked by a burly figure taller than the door itself.

Who else could it be but Barrett?

At this moment, Barrett's body was covered with all sorts of shocking injuries, and his mountain-like, imposing body was stained red with countless drops of blood.

Tikki couldn't imagine what kind of opponent, or what kind of terrifying attack, could leave those horrific wounds that shattered muscles and bones on this iron-like man.

An extremely fierce and murderous aura was emanating from Barrett, who was blocking the door. The strong smell of blood assaulted Teach's nerves, making his muscles tense up as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Barrett did not answer his question, but stared intently at Teach's hands with his blood-red eyes, watching the black energy surging from his left hand and the white shockwave emanating from his right fist.

“Ryder is right, you really can eat a second Devil Fruit. Marshall D. Teach, tell me, can I?”

His voice was extremely hoarse, like rusty iron scraping together.

"What?" Titch didn't react.

"boom!"

The air inside the control room twisted and vibrated as a giant fist wrapped in black lightning crashed down, aiming for Tichi's face.

The terrifying force shattered the steel walls and control consoles in the main control room, and the entire catapult ship began to shake as if it were about to disintegrate.

Barrett, his eyes bloodshot and his body a ghostly blue, roared like a demon: "I'm asking you! What do I need to do to have a second Devil Fruit ability like you?!"

"How should I know? My ability is a racial talent, and you're not one of my people!"

Tikki was horrified. She gripped the Shockwave in her right hand, ready to unleash its power, and instinctively threw a punch.

"boom!"

"Click-clack-click-clack!"

He threw a right punch, and the air in the control room immediately cracked open, spreading out clearly visible fissures that blocked Barrett's powerful, entangled punch.

As the cracks shattered, a powerful shockwave erupted, like a flash flood, and surged towards Barrett.

However, Barrett's massive body remained as immovable as a mountain of steel amidst the rolling impact.

His right fist, crackling with terrifying Conqueror's Haki lightning, shattered Teach's newly acquired but not yet mastered Earthquake Power with a single punch, hurtling towards his face in Teach's horrified gaze.

"The Dark Gate!!"

Just as the terrifying fist was about to smash into her face, black energy surged wildly from Teach's body, enveloping her entire body.

Barrett threw a punch, which landed squarely on his face.

To be precise, it hit the spot where his head was originally located.

As endless black energy emanated from Teach's body, enveloping him entirely, Barrett's fist pierced through the black energy covering his body, but missed Teach's body enveloped by the black energy. Instead, it was like a punch that entered a black hole, sending him into another dimension.

"Hahaha, see you later, Barrett, I think we'll meet again."

Black energy surged forth, and Teach's figure vanished from the control room, leaving only a wisp of black energy gradually dissipating.

"You can't escape!" Barrett grinned, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace. He gripped his two massive, dark blue arms and slammed his fists into the bulkhead of the control room.

The terrifying force caused his two arms to blast through the bulkhead and penetrate deep into it, as if he were scooping out fish, shrimp, and crabs from an unseen hole, reaching towards the back of the bulkhead.

From the next room, a cloud of black mist surged forth. Just as Tiki's upper body emerged, before she could even see what was in front of her, she saw two large, eerie blue hands reach out to grab her. Terrified, she quickly shrank back.

On the catapult, in another pitch-black space parallel to Barrett, Teach was running around anxiously, as if some unseen monster was frantically chasing her from the darkness behind her.

In fact, there is indeed a monster, and that is Barrett.

However, we weren't in the same space.

This pitch-black space, where one cannot see in any direction or up or down, was developed by Tichi's Dark-Dark Fruit ability and is connected to his technique's hidden pressure points.

When he's fighting, he usually devours enemies or things inside houses, then compresses and destroys them before throwing them out, or he uses them as personal storage space.

There is no air in this space, so it is rarely used to store living things. Even if you need to store them, for example, to let teammates hide in the dark space and jump out to ambush people at any time, you can only hide for a short time, otherwise your teammates will suffocate.

That's his situation right now.

There was no way to ask Teach to go out and fight that monster Barrett; he simply couldn't muster even the slightest courage, even now that he had acquired the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power.

"Damn it! Why is this the seabed?! It's surrounded by seawater, which blocks the extension of the dark space. Even if this ship could just touch the seabed, I could leave through the dark space that extends beneath the seabed!"

Feeling the suffocating atmosphere pervasive in the dark space, and the threat emanating from Barrett in the parallel space, Titch was in a state of extreme panic.

The more panicked he became, the more suffocated he felt, forcing him to venture out of the dark space to breathe, only to be chased away by Barrett for leaking his breath.

His Dark-Dark Fruit can counter all other Devil Fruits and possesses the same properties as Seastone and seawater.

However, the Dark-Dark Fruit is still a Devil Fruit, and like other Devil Fruits, it is countered by Seastone and seawater.

Therefore, although Teach's dark space is a parallel spacetime to the real space, once it is surrounded by seawater on all sides, he has no way to escape through the dark space.

It was like a seawater cage, completely enveloping him and trapping him inside.

The size of the dark space is the same as that of the catapult where Barrett is located.

If there were air inside, it would be fine; Teach could hide there until Barrett, that madman, loses patience and leaves on his own.

But there is no air in the dark space. Even if Tiki's body is strong, she still needs to breathe. In addition, she was already panicked and nervous. She could only take a quick breath when she went out, and the oxygen she breathed in was not enough to meet her body's needs.

Therefore, in less than ten seconds, Teach was chased to the brink of collapse by Barrett, and had the urge to simply go out, smash the catapult, and fall into the sea together.

The moment the thought crossed Teach's mind, he was horrified to discover that the area of ​​the dark space he was in was rapidly shrinking.

This means that the outer catapult is also shrinking!

That madman Barrett, did he just dismantle his own ship?

Does that guy want to die together with him?

Tikki simply couldn't understand Barrett's thought process.

Outside, deep in the ocean, Barrett, who was frantically chasing Teach who kept popping up, suddenly turned around with lightning speed and blasted his thick, dark blue arm at a bulwark of the catapult.

"boom!"

The entire bulkhead in front of him twisted and shattered, and seawater from the deep sea rushed in, along with a giant fist covered in hideous bone spikes.

"Rorschach!!"

Barrett roared and exchanged a punch with Rorschach, who had just blasted through the bulkhead. He was sent flying by Rorschach's punch, crashing through layers of bulkheads behind him and almost piercing through the entire catapult ship.

The giant fist that had pierced through the thick steel bulkhead turned into a grab, gripping the edge of the hole. At the same time, another huge claw reached in from the hole, grabbed the other half of the twisted steel, and tore it apart violently with the two black claws!

With a hissing sound, the thick steel bulkhead twisted and was torn apart by an indescribable force.

The next moment, the entire two- or three-hundred-meter-long iron-hulled ship, the Catapult, was torn in two by the intruder's bare hands in the deep sea.

"Zzzzz! Boom!"

Two terrifying currents of electricity shot out from Rorschach's hands, enveloping the iron-hulled ship that he had torn in two.

The half of the wreckage held in his left hand was struck and melted by hundreds of millions of volts of lightning, turning into molten iron that dripped into the deep sea.

With half of the iron-hulled ship wreckage clutched in his right hand, Rorschach swung it, blasting through the seawater in front of him, and slammed it into Barrett's body, who had been thrown into the water, like a whip.

"boom!"

Hundreds of tons of seawater exploded in front of him. Barrett's dark blue body was struck by the wreckage of the iron-hulled ship and crashed into the seabed like a meteorite, turning the bottom of the deep sea thousands of meters below into a murky mess.

Chapter 760 Eating Tiki Raw

"That's incredible! That guy..."

On the shore of Soft Island, Huang Mu sensed the bottom of the deep sea below, where Rorschach was frantically crushing Barrett. What welled up in his heart was no longer shock, but awe for Rorschach.

Before today, he was still somewhat unconvinced by Luo Xia, but after today, Huang Mu was completely convinced of Luo Xia's abilities and even felt a sense of fear towards him.

If even a powerful and ferocious guy like Barrett was no match for Rorschach, then how did I manage to hold out for a whole day and night on Wilmaeu Island?

Or perhaps Rorschach didn't even use his full strength at the time.

seabed.

Rorschach flung the wreckage of the catapult, slamming Barrett into the depths of the seabed hundreds of meters deep, before looking at the iron-hulled ship wreckage he was holding.

Tichi's presence vanished, and she disappeared too; he couldn't find her on the ship.

However, Rorschach had already seen the abilities that Teach used on the catapult just now through his powerful Observation Haki.

Therefore, he concluded that Tichi was most likely in another dimension.

Like Bruno of CP9's Door-Door Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit also opens up another dark tunnel space.

So, has Teach escaped through another parallel universe?

wrong.

If Teach could escape through his hidden tunnel, then Barrett wouldn't have needed to chase after him so frantically inside the catapult.

In other words, Teach's Dark Cave Space is different from the space opened by Bruno's Door-Door Fruit. It must have some kind of fatal flaw that prevents this guy from escaping.

Luo Xia looked at the surrounding seawater, his eyes thoughtful.

"Is it seawater? Just like the Zipper Fruit user I met in Water 7, the alternate dimension opened by his ability is also limited."

Just as they were thinking about how to force Tiki, who was hiding in another dimension, out, the murky seabed below began to roll up like a carpet being lifted, and a deep blue aura covered it, blocking out the seawater.

The seabed was enveloped by a strange power, transforming into countless purple crystals that flowed and converged to form a giant hand a hundred meters long. It swept away the seawater and grabbed at Luo Xia.

"A billion volts! Thunder metallurgy!"

Crackling electricity surged from Luo Xia's hand, transferring to the massive iron-hulled ship wreckage he was holding. It melted the steel on the ship, then compressed and condensed under the control of electromagnetic force, transforming it into a giant iron whip over a hundred meters long. Luo Xia swung the whip and lashed it across the hundred-meter-long hand that had grabbed him.

"Boom!"

The seawater roared and trembled, bursting open endless white bubbles.

The hundred-meter-long hand was shattered by Luo Xia's whip, breaking into countless pieces of mud, sand, and gravel, making the seawater on the seabed even more turbid, to the point where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Rorschach, however, didn't care. He didn't need to use his eyes at all; his powerful Observation Haki allowed him to perceive everything around him in minute detail.

The escaping electric current was his eyes.
