One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

A fierce glint flashed in his single eye, and taking advantage of Luffy's moment of retracting his fist, he suddenly unleashed an unprecedented agility, instantly attacking Luffy in front of him.

"Gotcha, Straw Hat Boy!"

A flash of black light.

His left hand gripped Luffy's outstretched right wrist like an iron clamp.

"What!?" Luffy was startled and quickly tried to pull his hand away to dodge.

However, the devouring power from the darkness rapidly depleted his domineering aura, leaving him with very little physical strength left.

However, if Luffy doesn't use Haki to resist, his Devil Fruit ability will be completely swallowed by the darkness and rendered ineffective.

Dark energy surged wildly, spreading and engulfing Luffy's body along the point of contact.

At the same time, Blackbeard's right fist, enveloped in compressed shadow, was about to deliver a fatal blow to Luffy's unsuspecting chest—

"The Tsar's Bastion!"

A deep, cold voice suddenly pierced through the thick fog and darkness.

In an instant, a sandstorm rose from the ruins.

Countless grains of sand converged, compressed, and condensed between Blackbeard and Luffy at an astonishing speed, instantly forming a massive, dark yellow shield as thick as a mountain, which blocked the path of that dark punch.

"Bang—!!!"

The dark impact slammed solidly into the surface of the sand shield, producing a deafening thud.

The sand shield trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface. Darkness clung to it like a living thing, trying to devour and annihilate it.

However, just before darkness was about to completely engulf the sand shield—

"burst."

Rumble—!!!

The energy stored inside the sand shield was released with a roar, first with blinding white light bursting out from every crack.

In an instant, the entire giant shield exploded like a lit powder keg, turning into a destructive storm of scorching flames and violent impact!

The blinding flames instantly dispelled the darkness, and the terrifying shockwave made Blackbeard stagger backward, causing his grip on Luffy's hand to loosen involuntarily.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luffy broke free, flipped over and landed several meters away, panting as he looked in the direction where the sand shield had exploded.

There, a figure shrouded in dust slowly emerged from the swirling ashes.

As the sand and dust slowly gathered, V's figure clearly emerged from the scattered embers.

“V!” Luffy smiled with delight.

V nodded at him, then looked at Blackbeard not far away.

Even in the face of such a terrifying explosion, the darkness was not affected at all. On the contrary, as the power of darkness rotated, the flames and impact of the explosion were rapidly dissipating.

"Cyborg V!"

Half of Blackbeard's face was visible through the darkness.

He looked at V, who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield, his eyes revealing undisguised ferocity and greed.

"It's almost time..."

A faint smile played on V's lips, and the blue prosthetic eye behind his glasses gleamed.

He didn't say anything, he just gently raised his hand.

At the same time, from all directions of the ruins, figures appeared silently around the battlefield as if responding to a summons—

Zoro carried three swords, his short green hair fluttering slightly in the wind stirred up by dark energy, his eyes sharp as knives;

Sanji lit a new cigarette, and his right toe instinctively tapped the ground lightly, the sparks flickering in the mist;

A faint buzzing sound could be heard behind Nami; it was the signal that the drone swarm was ready to go.

Usopp, holding a sniper rifle, "realistically" twitched his long nose slightly, his eyes behind the scope unusually focused;

Chopper stood at Robin's feet, still in his reindeer form, but with a determined look in his eyes;

Robin elegantly clasped his hands together, a gentle smile playing on his lips as always.

The entire Straw Hat Pirates crew silently assembled.

V's gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Blackbeard's face. His smile widened, and his voice echoed clearly across the battlefield shrouded in deathly silence and darkness:

"Congratulations, Blackbeard."

"Your dark power has earned our approval."

"So next... you'll be facing the entire Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Simply put..."

V slowly raised his right arm, and the light from his artificial blue eye suddenly intensified.

"We're about to start Phase Two."

Chapter 128 A Righteous Gang Fight (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"The Straw Hat Pirates..."

Beard's gaze swept across the ruins, passing over Sulong and the others, before finally settling on V, who always wore a mysterious smile.

His burly body trembled slightly amidst the surging dark energy, but it wasn't fear; rather, it was suppressed rage reaching its peak.

His partner's failure caused him to completely lose his temper.

"No matter how many small fry come, it's useless!"

Blackbeard's voice came from the depths of darkness, hoarse and distorted, each word carrying intense killing intent.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly spread his arms wide to the sides—

Rumble!!!

The ground of the entire battlefield began to tremble violently, and countless dark rifts spread out in all directions like a spider web, centered on Blackbeard.

Those fissures are not simply cracks in the ground, but rather "dark abysses" that connect to the endless void.

Within the rift, the viscous, almost tangible darkness churned and surged like a living thing, exuding an aura of suffocating despair.

"The Dark Realm - Eternal Night Descends!"

Blackbeard's eyes gleamed eerily in the darkness.

In an instant, a powerful surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body.

Under Blackbeard's control, Haki and the dark current merged into one.

Like an inverted black waterfall, it weaves in mid-air into a "sky net" that covers the entire terrifying three-masted sailing ship.

The net was not two-dimensional, but a three-dimensional cage—every dark torrent was rotating, twisting, and intertwining, forming a dark sphere that was constantly shrinking inward.

Inside the sphere, light is completely swallowed up, sound is completely blocked, and even the perception of space is distorted and deformed.

This is the ultimate display of Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit power—creating a "domain" completely dominated by darkness, within which he is the sole ruler!

"careful!"

V's voice was transmitted to each person's ears via brain-computer interface.

At such close range, their transmission signals are not significantly affected.

The entire Straw Hat Pirates acted almost simultaneously.

Zoro was the first to unleash his power, drawing all three swords simultaneously. The demonic aura swirling around the blades mixed with Armament Haki, forming a dark purple energy flow.

"Ghostly Aura - Three Thousand Worlds - Boundary-Breaking Slash!"

The three slashes were not in straight lines, but rather cut through the darkness with strange arcs, converging in the air to form a triangular slash array.

Wherever the attack passed, the dark torrent was briefly torn apart, revealing a sliver of light.

But only for a moment, and then darkness receded like a tide.

Sanji's figure transformed into a streak of crimson light in the darkness.

"Devil's Wind Kick - Bouncy Dance!"

His legs delivered dozens of kicks in a very short time, each kick hitting precisely the dark torrent that was trying to close in.

The scorching flames and the compressed elasticity exploded at the point of contact, bursting into brief bursts of light that forcibly slowed down the contraction of the dark sphere.

Nami hovered in mid-air, data streams flashing through her eyes.

"Drone Array - Dawn Spear!"

Behind her, tens of thousands of miniature drones simultaneously started their engines, emitting a deafening hum.

These drones did not attack randomly, but were arranged in a precise geometric array, and under Nami's brain-computer interface control, they simultaneously fired high-energy shockwaves in the same direction.

Tens of thousands of tiny shockwaves converged and overlapped in the air, eventually forming a pure white energy beam with a diameter of more than ten meters, which slammed into the top of the dark sphere!

The moment the beam of light collided with the darkness, the resulting energy surge caused the entire sea to tremble.

The power of technology, at this moment, surpassed individual bravery, demonstrating its unparalleled might.

The terrifying three-masted ship's structure began to disintegrate on a massive scale, with countless wood chips, stones, and metal fragments being swept into the energy turbulence, forming a devastating storm.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Usopp sneaked underground and quickly arrived at a hidden vantage point, where he set up his sniper rifle "Reality" and quietly calibrated the muzzle.

"Ultimate Move: Quantum Oscillation - Stars!!"

His finger rapidly pulled the trigger, and in an instant, a series of gunshots rang out.

This time, however, what spewed from the muzzle was not a physical bullet, but a highly condensed quantum pulse of energy.

Usopp knew very well that ordinary explosions and impacts were no longer effective against a powerful enemy like Blackbeard.

So he chose a fighting style that Blackbeard had never seen before.

Quantum Oscillator Bullet, this is a Tier 6 ammunition that V specially redeemed from the Prosthetics Shop.

Each one is worth as much as 10 points. Even though V had a lot of gains recently, he only managed to exchange a little over a hundred for Usopp.

As the projectile flew, its surface shimmered with a ghostly blue quantum glow, constantly releasing high-frequency spatial resonant waves that violently collided with the surrounding all-consuming darkness.
