Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

He doesn't look like someone to be trifled with.

Teach came to pick peaches.

The battle of Marineford is about to begin. In order to rescue Ace, Whitebeard leads his entire crew to attack Marineford.

In Teach's calculations, Whitebeard couldn't possibly win.

The Navy's power is so great that even if the entire Whitebeard Pirates were to mobilize, they would still find it difficult to stop the Navy's actions.

Moreover, all three admirals of the Navy, as well as naval heroes, including Garp, who once rivaled the Pirate King Roger, are in Marineford.

Therefore, he came for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

At the same time, it would be best to kill Whitebeard and then take over Whitebeard's former territory.

Be the one who ultimately reaps the rewards.

He has already recruited a powerful crew, mostly ruthless criminals whose names have been deliberately concealed.

With his capabilities, he has made thorough preparations.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

Basha's arrival disrupted everything, all thanks to the Star-Devouring Whale, which chose a rather wonderful landing spot.

"Hey, you floating in the sky, get out of the way, or we'll just crash into you!" Shiryu of the Rain, the former warden of Impel Down and now a member of the Blackbeard Pirates, shouted at Zhou Lan.

As he spoke, several figures appeared in front of Zhou Lan, each one exuding a vicious and ruthless aura.

"You...you can give it a try!"

Zhou Lan calmly tucked her main hands into her wide sleeves, leaving only her secondary hands outside.

Blackbeard Teach finally noticed something was wrong. He raised his hand, and the ship instantly fell silent.

He noticed something unusual about the other party in his line of sight: the ruins of Marineford, where the wind was very strong.

But before the wind on the sea could even get close to the creature in front of it, it howled and scattered away.

Moreover, the other person's gaze was blatantly fixed on him, as if assessing something.

Being stared at by a creature that doesn't look quite human and floats in the air doesn't sound like a pleasant experience.

In Zhou Lan's eyes, Teach didn't feel his human side; he was more like an object being examined.

"What a terrifying guy!"

he thought.

The other party was after him.

Blackbeard Teach is a meticulous man, but that doesn't mean his ruthless crew can tolerate Zhou Lan's calmness and contempt.

"Evil King," Batlló Pizarro growled, pointing a finger at Zhou Lan, just about to shout.

The next moment, Zhou Lan also extended her hand across the sea and pointed at him.

Just like when the Dark Demon and Little Red pointed their fingers at each other in mid-air in Hell.

But the ending was completely different.

An invisible repulsive force sliced ​​through the sea, then relentlessly separated the ship and the body, drifting away into the far distance.

Before the tyrannical king, Batlló Pizarro, could utter a single sound, he suddenly collapsed.

The pirate ship was silently cleaved in two, the cut clean and crisp. Apart from the sound of the tide, only the creaking of the ship splitting open could be heard.

Zhou Lan himself, and even the extremely sharp slashes he unleashed, were all so silent and stealthy.

It was as calm as a peaceful summer afternoon, destroying everything in the tranquility that brought a sense of relaxation.

Standing on the tilting ship, Blackbeard Teach couldn't help but stiffly turn around and glance back.

A smooth crack, stretching from the sky to the sea, pierced through the wicked king and continued into the distance.

Everything along the way was cut in half, even the sea was split in two.

"Damn it!" he roared.

Thick black smoke billowed from his arms, enveloping his entire body.

Zhou Lan's gaze remained fixed on him, and Teach subconsciously activated his ability.

The power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

It can release a kind of gravitational concept like a black hole, attracting everything towards itself, while also possessing the powerful ability to nullify the Devil Fruit abilities of other Devil Fruit users.

He suddenly reached out to Zhou Lan and shouted, "Dark Water!" A faint, almost imperceptible attraction came from the other side. Zhou Lan raised the corners of her mouth and suddenly laughed.

He stood motionless in the air.

The allure of the Dark-Dark Fruit seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

Blackbeard paused for a moment.

Zhou Lan silently extended her hand to him, smiling as she said, "You're also gravity, that's good!"

Chapter 143 Basha's overtures

A nameless fear suddenly filled Blackbeard Teach's heart.

For no apparent reason, he felt a sudden pang of panic.

Zhou Lan had only pointed a finger at him and hadn't made a move yet.

But his usually invincible Dark Fruit suddenly went silent; its irresistible attraction couldn't even tug at Zhou Lan's clothes.

He suddenly realized just how terrifying the power emanating from the being before him truly was.

Standing on the collapsing ship, Teach instinctively wanted to speak, but it was too late.

A powerful force instantly swept over him, a terrifying pressure that could make anyone tremble with fear.

He, who was already suffering from a negative pain buff, couldn't help but let out a low growl.

The attack covered every part of the ship; it was a command to tear, sink, and squeeze, leaving nowhere to hide.

The members of the Blackbeard Pirates screamed and fell into the sea under the combined force of attraction and repulsion.

These criminals, who were originally vicious, suddenly became pained, their faces pleading with the terrifying figure before them.

The ship, which had been flying its flag, sank completely into the sea. Blackbeard Teach looked at his crew struggling in the water and was filled with horror.

He didn't care whether his crew would drown. After all, as someone who had betrayed Whitebeard and killed his comrades by taking the Dark-Dark Fruit, he was a thoroughly selfish guy.

Suppose an attack comes toward him that he cannot resist and will kill him instantly, his first reaction would probably be to use his crew members as shields or to run away.

However, the current situation is clearly outside the scope of this assumption.

The attack was indeed aimed at him, but he could neither withstand it nor escape it.

At this moment, he was forcibly imprisoned in the air, and even struggling was a futile endeavor.

Zhou Lan slowly and deliberately took the Tianyuan Cauldron out of her sleeve.

Anything targeted by the Moon Demon is branded with an invisible mark the moment it appears, meaning there is no escape.

The Heavenly Origin Cauldron spun around and hovered in the air.

The next second it grew against the wind, suddenly becoming enormous and pressing down on the sea.

The other members who were struggling in the sea were finally completely suppressed and sank into the deep sea after the appearance of the Tianyuan Cauldron.

"Don't be nervous, there's nothing to be afraid of, right?" Zhou Lan pointed her finger at Teach, whose face showed panic.

"After all, I'm not some man-eating demon!"

He chuckled, and a wisp of demonic energy swirled and rushed towards Teach.

The moment the demonic energy surged forward, in an instant, Teach suddenly felt that everything had already left him far behind.

Power, home, ideals... everything that the Dark Fruit brought about vanished in an instant.

Although he didn't know how she did it, Zhou Lan had drained his power.

A wisp of black smoke separated from Teach and was gently placed into the Tianyuan Cauldron by Zhou Lan's finger.

Zhou Lan couldn't help but sigh again.

Indeed, learning a skill now seems like such an important and correct decision.

At least when traveling through countless worlds, I won't starve to death.

Zhou Lan threw the Dark Fruit into the Heavenly Origin Cauldron very quickly, without Teach saying a word.

As for him personally...

Zhou Lan wasn't interested.

Not far away, a surge of water rose up, forming a familiar shape—it was the water demon Basha, who had sensed Zhou Lan releasing her power.

"Brother?" she looked at the Heavenly Origin Cauldron in confusion.

I wonder what Zhou Lan is doing inside that cauldron.

Basha's tone was relaxed and cheerful, and it was clear that she was having a lot of fun.

The world felt extremely satisfied with the gift Zhou Lan had chosen for her.

This place is perfect for her.

For a moment, Basha even had the thought that she didn't want to return to the original world anymore.

Here, the seawater covers the entire world, and under her special influence, a clan belonging to the water demons was born.

Now, it's not just a matter of faster strength recovery.

She could easily nourish herself with the oceans that surround this world, and even enhance her power once more.

Having taken refuge in the seawater, once she had completely merged with all the oceans of this world, she was almost equivalent to the will of this world itself.

With just one action, or even a single thought, the entire world can be changed.

Basha felt wonderful knowing she could foresee this future.

Since being sealed away in hell, that sense of pleasure has been gone from her for a very, very long time.

Now it has finally returned.

Therefore, her gaze towards Zhou Lan held even more respect.

This elder brother among the eight demons did not simply fulfill his promise to release them.

He even thoughtfully prepared a world for each demon.

There's no need to crowd into the original world as before, dividing the entire world into eight parts for each to rule and occupy.

Compared to the scale that the Moon Demon is now displaying, the glory of the past is gradually starting to seem insignificant.

Composing herself, she waited quietly for Zhou Lan's reply, her gaze fixed on the Tianyuan Cauldron.

Beneath the cauldron, how could Basha not see that the wisp of scorching heat was clearly the Holy Lord's fiery demonic energy?

It seems that her younger brother and older brother went through a lot more before she was released from prison these past few days.

In Basha's memory, there had never been anyone who could make the Holy Lord reluctantly part with such a large amount of fire demon energy.

The Holy Lord was a battle maniac in the ancient times when the eight great demons ruled the world, and he cherished every bit of power.

Like a dragon greedy for treasure, he gathered his power and spent his days immersing himself in battles with other demon wizards.

It seems that Brother Zhou Lan has already "conquered" the Holy Lord.

Basha couldn't help but think.

At the same time, Zhou Lan said with a relaxed expression, "Can't you tell? When Bo Gang and I were traveling in another world, I learned some cooking skills!"

Demons are all guys who like to tell lame jokes, so Basha certainly wasn't naive enough to think Zhou Lan was cooking.

It's obvious that some kind of power is being refined inside this cauldron.

She lowered her eyes in thought, and after a moment she whispered, "My brother, even when cooking, just adding fuel to the fire won't do!"

"Oh? You mean?" Zhou Lan's eyes lit up as she looked at Basha.

Basha reached out her hand towards the scorching hot Tianyuan Cauldron, and a huge wisp of water demonic energy separated from her body and floated towards the cauldron.
