The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

The word "hyena" fell to the ground!

Blackbeard writhed in agony, his massive body, screaming in pain, completely frozen in place!

All the wailing, all the convulsions, all the performances of pain came to an abrupt end at this moment!

next second.

Blackbeard, who was lying on the ground, suddenly flipped over and sprang up from the ground!

He stood firmly on his feet and patted off non-existent dust.

He wiped his mouth, and the gruesome "near-death" look on his face vanished without a trace.

"Hahaha... Hahahaha!!!"

Blackbeard burst into loud laughter, which echoed through the hall, filled with a wicked and unruly tone.

"As expected... we didn't fool anyone, Marshal Tianzhen!"

Blackbeard stared intently at Gern, his left palm swirling silently in darkness, while pale shockwaves subtly gathered at the edge of his right fist.

"Looks like... the 'greeting' time is over!"

"So, Lord Five Elders, you have to help me!"

Chapter 682 Tsk, pretending to be weak is too much, the other side won't fall for it!

Hearing Blackbeard's shout

Satan no longer needs to conceal or hold back.

"Hmph!" Satan Saint let out a cold snort.

The body, which had just been severed at the waist by the "Divine Thought Slash" and was rapidly healing from dark matter, suddenly accelerated its healing speed!

In the blink of an eye, the upper and lower body were reconnected seamlessly, as if they had never been injured.

Immediately afterwards, a Zoan-type Awakening Flame Cloud rose up from the shoulder blade area without warning!

Zoan type, Mythical Zoan, Gyu-oni form, Human-Beast type!

Satan Saint's body expanded and mutated in an instant!

Its face became half-human, half-demon, with a pair of curved, jet-black bull horns sprouting from its forehead, and its eyes turning bloodshot.

The lower body was completely detached from human form.

Its abdomen became round and transformed into a spider body covered with bristles and with many sharp limbs!

Zoan type, Mythical Zoan, Ushioni form, Humanoid form!

Upon entering his beast form, Satan's aura suddenly surged to a terrifying level.

The ancient ferocity of the mythical beasts was so oppressive that even Blackbeard, standing nearby, turned his head to look at them.

"That's terrifying!"

Saint Satan did not respond to Blackbeard, his gaze fixed on Gern.

There were no unnecessary actions or words.

His attacks were simple, direct, and unpredictable!

"Fierce eyes!!!"

The ability is activated, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that strikes directly at the soul and spirit, ignoring physical distance and conventional defenses.

In an instant, it traversed space and slammed into Gern's forehead!

Faced with this sudden and unexpected mental attack from the "fierce eyes," and with Blackbeard lurking nearby, his two Devil Fruits poised to strike, he was caught off guard.

Gern did not choose to withstand the mental shock.

"Shaking Flash - Willow Catkins!"

"Gern whispered, and just before the red light of the 'fierce eye' reached him, his body suddenly became blurry and transparent!"

The body is forcibly decomposed in an instant and assimilated into countless extremely tiny, light-as-willow-flecked "particle flow evasion".

As expected, Satan Saint's "fierce eye," although still having some of its power, still affected Gern's "consciousness."

However, it was not enough to cause substantial dizziness or damage; it only caused the dispersed "particle stream" to stagnate slightly for a moment.

This is the wonderful use of "vibration and willow catkins".

With extreme vibration control, it achieves evasion techniques similar to "elemental evasion" but more flexible and capable of dealing with a variety of attack methods!

As they dodged, Gern's "particle stream" attempted to recombine and become visible from the side...

however

"Hahaha!! Trying to run away?!"

"Get the hell over here!!"

Blackbeard wouldn't let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by!

He had been poised to strike, and in the brief moment before Guern's body had fully reformed from the "willow catkin" particle stream...

With his left hand covered in a dark vortex, he aimed at the core area of ​​the Gurn particle stream and unleashed the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit!

"Dark water!!!"

A miniature black hole with immense suction power was instantly created in Blackbeard's palm!

The terrifying gravitational field ignored some of the illusory and real characteristics of Gern's "flesh-like" state.

It firmly grasped the core "anchor point" of those scattered, vibrating particle streams.

By forcibly dragging and compressing them, you can pull them back from their scattered state, condense them back into a solid form, and drag them in your direction!

This interrupted the subsequent reorganization and displacement of Gern's "Shockwave Willow Catkins"!

The dispersed particle stream of Gern was interfered with by the domineering gravity of Blackbeard's "Dark Water".

Forced to reveal a blurry humanoid outline, it flew uncontrollably toward Blackbeard's location!

The willow catkins' state was interrupted and forcibly reorganized.

For a moment, Gern's body was in a state of extreme imbalance and out of control!

"We succeeded!!"

Seeing his success, Blackbeard wore a smug smile!

The milky-white shockwave energy ball, already fully condensed on his right fist, was drawn close by Gern as he was pulled towards the "Dark Water".

In the instant that it was almost within reach, he used all his strength to deliver a powerful punch, which landed squarely on Gern's chest, which had just begun to take shape!

"Shattered! Shattered!!!"

"Bang!! Crack!!"

A large expanse of air ahead cracked like a mirror, with spiderweb-like white cracks spreading and expanding.

The terrifying force from Blackbeard's fist, enough to shatter space, poured into Gorn's chest without reservation and at point-blank range!

"Uh!"

Gern let out a suppressed groan!

The body that had just solidified instantly deformed, and its chest visibly caved in!

Immediately afterwards, propelled by an irresistible force, his body was thrown backward at an astonishing speed toward the other side of the hall wall!

Boom!!!

Gern's body slammed heavily against the thick stone wall, creating a huge, spiderweb-like cracked crater!

Gravel fell like a torrential rain, half-burying him in it.

Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the specific situation.

Inside the hall, only Blackbeard's heavy breathing and the sound of his eight legs moving in his Satan Sacred Bull Demon form could be heard for the time being.

Did it work? !

Blackbeard looked at his slightly trembling right fist, then at the dust-filled wall in the distance, and his ferocious smile became even more unrestrained.

"Hahaha!!! Did you see that?!"

"Heaven-shattering!!! This is the power of my two Devil Fruits!!!"

Satan Saint slowly withdrew the light from his "fierce eyes" and coldly stared at the cloud of smoke.

He remained vigilant, knowing full well that the man could not be dealt with so easily.

Although the teamwork just now was perfect

He used his "fierce eyes" mental attack to restrain and force Gern to use "Shock Flash: Willow Catkins" to evade it.

Blackbeard precisely seized upon the moment when Gorn was most vulnerable before his regrouping.

He forcibly interrupted and pulled the opponent using "Dark Water," and finally succeeded with a point-blank heavy blow from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

In just two seconds, they exchanged several blows.

The entire process went smoothly and indeed seized the theoretically best opportunity.

But... that's "Skyquake" Gern Reginald Sigmar!

The one who single-handedly defeated Shanks and Dragon, and who directly confronted Whitebeard at his peak.

The man who separated the Navy from the World Government and made it powerfully independent!

His strength, combat intelligence, and control over the battle situation should be far more than just that.

Besides, even when Gern was far weaker than he is now, he still managed to storm the Holy Land and make things difficult for him...

Satan Saint quickly analyzed the situation in his mind, and a thought flashed through his mind:

"Could it be... because Blackbeard possesses the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

The Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to supposedly counter all Devil Fruit powers did indeed seem to play a crucial role in the battle just now.

The "dark water" may even have weakened or suppressed the power of the Guern's Heaven-Quake Fruit to some extent.

If a significant portion of Gern's power relies on the strange and powerful vibrational rules manipulated by the Heaven-War Fruit...

Therefore, its strength is subtly countered by the "ability nullification" property of the Dark-Dark Fruit, resulting in a significant reduction in its power.

That seems to explain why it looked like the win was "relatively easy" just now?

This deduction reassured Satan somewhat.

If that's the case, then Blackbeard, with his Dark-Dark Fruit, is indeed an excellent card to play against Gern in the current situation.

If the two of them join forces, they might actually have a chance to keep this admiral here forever!

Thinking of this, the aura of Satan in his Satanic Ox Demon form became even more solid.

His eyes were fixed on the dent in the wall where the smoke and dust were dissipating, ready to deliver a finishing blow or prepare for a counterattack at any moment.

On the other side, leaning against the cracked wall and its dents...

Half-buried in the rubble, Gern slowly raised his hand and wiped away the bloodstains remaining at the corner of his mouth.

Blackbeard's punch just now was absolutely genuine; it landed squarely on him.

Unfortunately, there was smoke but no real injury...

"Tsk... I was careless." Gern muttered to himself, his voice so faint that only he could hear it.

"I still... can't pretend to be too weak..."

Gern coughed softly.

"Otherwise... if that old fox Satan really thinks that the two of them working together can easily 'deal with' me..."

"Then, those other four old guys who are hiding in the back watching the show... might not be willing to 'teleport' down."

"Looks like... I need to be a little more 'serious'."

"At least... we need to make Saint Satan feel that without calling down the other five elders as well..."

"Those two alone are no match for me; they might even get killed by me... that's the only way."
