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

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is not a Logia-type Devil Fruit that can cause earthquakes; Paramecia-type Devil Fruits are indiscriminate when activated!

Therefore, the tearing sensation caused by the collapse of space, the shockwave's impact on the internal organs, and the pain from the impact of falling debris...

All the pain exploded twice over inside Blackbeard's body!

"Puwah!!!!!"

Blackbeard coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He was blown backward like a tattered sack, falling further and in a more disheveled state than Gern!

........

Blackbeard's desperate fighting style, which could result in "hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of his own," or even "losing twelve thousand of his own," is a prime example.

Although rough and disorganized, it is due to the unique and insane nature of its dual Devil Fruit abilities.

Suddenly, things became extremely tricky!

In contrast, the sandworm (Pete Saint) had just barely recovered from its severe injury.

Itsumade (Maz Saint, who has been torn to pieces by Gern, with only his remains forcibly glued back together by dark energy, his strength greatly diminished)

The attack at this moment actually seemed somewhat...

Feeling powerless, even clumsy.

Piet Saint's underground attack was easily anticipated and repelled by Gern.

Mazsaint's flames breathed out, but the power and speed were greatly reduced, making it difficult to pose an effective threat.

These two Elders may be strong in individual combat, but they are clearly not known for their pure combat skills and on-the-spot fighting.

Instead, they are better at using their immortality, the special abilities of the Mythical Beast species, and the strange methods granted by the Abyss Contract to wear down and suppress their opponents.

In the face of a top-tier powerhouse of Gern's caliber, skilled in actual combat and killing.

Once the psychological advantage of "invincibility" and numerical superiority are lost, the weaknesses are exposed.

At this moment, they seemed more like they were coordinating with Blackbeard's frenzied attack, conducting some harassing and restraining maneuvers.

They were trying to create an opportunity for Blackbeard, or to cover up any openings revealed during Blackbeard's frenzied attacks.

He went from being a main attacker to a supporting player.

Chapter 712 Im's Purpose

All of this was clearly "seen" by Im, who sat atop the dark head of the mutated monstrous scorpion (Vocuri Saint).

Its eyes were fixed on Blackbeard, who continued to roar and fight madly despite Gern's frenzied attacks and its own dark interference.

Watching him recklessly unleash the power of his two Devil Fruits, feeling his desire...

"What...perfect 'material'!" Im exclaimed inwardly.

Compared to Rocks from God Valley back then, who was forcibly "demonized" by himself...

The Marshall D. Teach before us possesses the Dark-Dark Fruit, which is more suitable for him (counteracting most Devil Fruit users, including Skyquake).

Possessing the same top-tier Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and even Conqueror's Haki!

All of this constitutes an excellent "container" with unlimited potential and great plasticity!

The Rocks of yesteryear was a puppet he forcibly "contaminated" and "catalyzed" with his own power.

Although obedient, they ultimately lack "spirit" and "growth potential." (A pure black-to-puppet)

As for Blackbeard... Im prefers to let him "voluntarily" embrace the abyss.

Ultimately... he himself took over and completely controlled this perfect body!

Just like now, Blackbeard has been driven to the brink of despair, unleashing unprecedented power to fight against Gern...

Isn't this the best "test" and "screen"?

Let him fight against Tianzhen, the strongest "sharpening stone," to squeeze out all his potential and observe the limits and integration of his abilities...

When he is exhausted, or when Gern is severely injured...

This is the perfect time to reap this most perfect "fruit"!

For a moment, Im was like a patient hunter, waiting quietly in the darkness.

Waiting for Blackbeard, this beast driven mad, to exhaust his last bit of strength and expose his most vulnerable neck.

The sharp "butcher's knife" that awaits Gern will be worn down and worn down while slaying the beasts.

then……

He personally took to the field to complete the final harvest, removing this perfect vessel named "Marshall D. Teach"!

........

Indeed, Im never dared to dream of playing on the chaotic stage of Egerhad.

This truly and completely eliminated the biggest variable, "Skyquake" Gern Reginald Sigma.

Its "gaze" is far-reaching, and even more...cold.

It began when it issued the order through Junzi to find the descendants of "David".

Our core objective has never changed!

What it wants is never a simple victory or revenge.

What it wants is a perfect "fruit" that can carry the ambitions of the next era.

A living container with "growth potential" and "plasticity"!

In an era when the Five Elders were no longer of any use, in a new era...

The spokesperson for the world government also needs to be updated!

And Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach was the "candidate" that it unexpectedly selected as the most suitable!

Watching Blackbeard fight frantically in a desperate situation, pushing his dual Devil Fruit abilities and Conqueror's Haki to their limits...

Deep within Im's consciousness, ripples of pleasure, mockery, or rather, a sense of control belonging to the ruler, began to stir.

“The same ‘David’…also…made M…”

The inhuman whispers echoed silently, filled with a fatalistic irony and an absolute sense of superiority.

"Hehehehe..."

“David D. Jones…”

The sound of a name being uttered is like turning the page of an ancient history book buried in dust.

That might be someone who has long since vanished into the mists of history, yet once stirred up a storm under the name "David".

Ultimately, he was a tragic figure who "contributed" to Im's great cause.

“David D. Gibber…”

Another name.

This surname vaguely points to someone equally ambitious, who ultimately became a pawn on the chessboard.

Perhaps it was Lox D. Giebeck?

The "sea overlord" who was "catalyzed" by Im in the Valley of Gods and became his puppet.

The name "David" may be a kind of nickname or derogatory term used by Im to refer to these "D clan" rebels who possess special qualifications and ambitions.

“David D. Teach…”

Finally, Im's gaze fell upon the crazed Blackbeard before him.

Marshall D. Teach. Yet another "David," yet another who inherited the will of "D" (perhaps distorted).

Possessing astonishing ambition and power, yet unknowingly dancing on Mu's chessboard... a pathetic pawn.

"What a pathetic race!"

Im's "voice" was filled with condescending pity and cold mockery.

In its view, these so-called "D clan"

These dare to challenge the authority of "God".

The "Davids" with extraordinary talent and ambition

No matter how much they struggle, how much they shine, or how much they believe they have control over their destiny...

Ultimately, they were nothing more than occasional slightly uncomfortable "pebbles" in the long course of their rule.

Or... as "nutrients" and "experiments" used to cultivate a more perfect "fruit".

Jones, Gibbek (Rocks), and even Teach right now...

They may have all thought they could break free of their shackles and take control of their own destiny.

But in the end, their ambition, their power, everything they had...

Ultimately, it became part of consolidating the Void Throne.

Jones may have "contributed" some characteristic, but Giebeck (Rocks) became the loser...

And Teach... this "David" who possesses both the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, has Conqueror's Haki, and whose personality is "so suitable"...

He will become the most perfect, most powerful, and most... obedient "container" in history.

Im admired Blackbeard's madness and burst of power at this moment, which was the last and most intense "struggle" before the "fruit" ripened.

Struggle, David D. Teach.

Unleash your full potential, expend all your power, and fight against the Heavenly Tremor.

then……

In your weakest, most desperate, and also most "mature" moment...

Mother will personally descend to deliver this long-awaited, sweetest "fruit"...

Gently pluck it off.

As for Gern?

Im never expected that Blackbeard or the remaining Five Elders could kill him.

But as long as Blackbeard can severely injure him, wear him down, and force him to reveal a weakness...

So, after Im personally took control of Blackbeard, this perfect "vessel"...

After combining the power of the "container" with the will of its true self...

Next, let's deal with "Skyquake"...

The odds of winning will increase significantly.

Everything is proceeding slowly according to the script of "God".

The war at Eghad was merely the beginning of a conflict that had lasted for eight hundred years.

Targeting the "D Clan" and all rebels

The prelude to the newest and most magnificent "harvest ceremony" in the Eternal Hunt.

Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach, who proclaims himself one of the "Four Emperors" and the future ruler...

Unaware of what was happening, he was playing the role of the one about to be offered up on the altar in this ceremony...

The most precious "offering".

Chapter 713 Stalemate

The current situation in Egherd.

Eastward, towards the coastline.

The colossal fleet of the Giant Warrior Pirates was temporarily halted in its charge by Hawkeye's flying slash that cleaved through the flagship.

But it was only a brief respite; the two giant captains, Dorry and Brogy, quickly determined...
