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

The ground near the explosion point instantly turned to dust, forming a deep crater!

This attack wasn't aimed directly at Gern, but rather anticipated and blocked one of his key evasive positions!

They forced him to move only in a specific direction!

Gern's pupils contracted slightly, the ground beneath his feet exploded with a loud bang, and he retreated rapidly to the side and backward!

He originally intended to activate the elemental tremor of the Heaven-War Fruit for more flexible movement.

But the moment he activated the fruit's power, he discovered that he could not smoothly use the power of the Heaven-Shatter Fruit to move in an elemental form!

Although it doesn't completely fail as if it were directly exposed to "dark water".

However, this wide-area suppression significantly reduced Gern's mobility.

Im's offensive continued relentlessly!

Just as Gern was forced to retreat, his body slightly sluggish

Imna's hands, which had been poised to strike, slammed down hard into the void on either side of his body!

"Snap!!!!!"

The two sounds merged into one.

A tremendous, shattering sound shook the very foundations of the world, and then exploded!

Centered on Im, large areas of space on both sides

Instantly, it was covered with countless, crisscrossing, bottomless pale white spatial cracks!

The terrifying shockwave did not spread in a straight line, but rather formed two intersecting, devastating torrents.

This not only completely blocked any possible escape routes for Gern, but also caused a violent tremor throughout the entire Mary Geoise Holy Land!

In the distance, the rear half of the magnificent Pangu City collapsed with a deafening roar, sending boulders and dust billowing into the sky!

Arne was on the edge of the shockwave, only managing to hold the Eight Desolations in front of him to withstand the impact of the spatial shattering.

He was thrown backward, crashing through a side wall of the hall that had not yet completely collapsed, and disappeared into the billowing smoke and flying debris.

The deafening roar and dust from the collapse gradually subsided.

moment.

"call out!"

Gern's figure shot out from the smoke and dust, kneeling on one knee.

He plunged the Eight Desolations Blade in his hand deep into the cracked ground beneath his feet, using the friction to slide for more than ten meters before finally regaining his footing.

He then breathed slightly, his marshal's overcoat covered in dust, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Even with his physique and domineering defense, the impact of that spatial tremor just now was not without cost.

After a while, Gern stood up and pulled out the Eight Desolations sticking out of the ground.

On the jet-black blade, vibrating particles began to swirl and hum rapidly.

Without further ado, he strode forward.

When he was still more than 20 meters away from Im, he twisted his waist and slashed horizontally with the Eight Desolations in his hand!

"Heavenly Tremor - Sky Rift!"

Where the blade passed, space was like fragile glass, a crack was forcibly cleaved open and spread towards Im!

Facing this slash that tore through space

Im, standing beside the throne, simply took a step forward at a leisurely pace.

He casually raised his right hand and slashed at the incoming spatial rift with a light flick of his wrist.

Darkness, like fire, surged forth from its palm.

Instantly, a horizontal wall of dark fire formed in front of it.

It directly absorbed the power of the Heaven-Shatter Fruit.

"Ineffective restraint..."

Im withdrew his hand, looking at the darkness that had not yet completely dissipated in his palm.

He then looked at the pale shockwave wrapped around his other hand.

"...unparalleled destructive power..."

Such powerful and complementary abilities, falling into the hands of that 'David' who only knows greed and fear.

They don't even know... how to weave a 'wide area network' that covers everything..."

It seemed extremely disappointed by Blackbeard's use of the dual Devil Fruit abilities.

"What a waste..."

As Im spoke, he began to move again!

In the palm of his left hand, the gravitational vortex of dark water expanded instantly!

A suction force far exceeding that of Blackbeard's attack suddenly and forcefully acted upon Gern.

And it was accompanied by that familiar suppressive force that temporarily disabled ability users!

Gern's body was uncontrollably pulled by this gravitational force, sliding towards Im!

At the same time, he felt as if his connection with the Heaven-Shaking Fruit had been severed, and he was completely unable to activate his elemental transformation ability!

Of course, Im is not Blackbeard!

It didn't even wait for Gern to be completely sucked in before launching a close-range attack like Blackbeard!

At the very instant that Gern's body was pulled off balance by gravity and his abilities were suppressed

Im's right fist, already brimming with pale shockwaves, slammed out with a deafening roar!

The target was the exposed chest cavity that Gern had revealed because he was attracted to it!

One strike shatters it, a zero-point explosion!

The joints are seamless!

The control of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the destruction of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit are combined seamlessly!

Gern had no choice but to forcefully twist his body and hold the Eight Desolations Blade horizontally in front of his chest!

The shockwave slammed solidly into the broad, thick spine of the Eight Desolations Blade!

Instantly, a terrifying impact traveled through the blade.

Gern felt a sharp pain and numbness in both arms, and a sweet taste in his throat.

He spat out another mouthful of blood, and was blasted backward by the shockwave at point-blank range!

But during his backward flight, Gern forcibly stabilized his breathing, and his Conqueror's Haki burst forth!

A sword slash in mid-air!

A jet-black slash, crackling with raging dark purple lightning, defied the momentum of the backward flight and fiercely struck towards the pursuing Im!

At the same time, Gern, who had just landed, slammed the Eight Desolations into the ground!

He clenched his fists and slammed them hard against the ground in front of him!

Boom!!!

The earth dragon flipped over and rapidly spread towards the area where Im was standing.

All for the purpose of destroying Im's foothold!

Gern, who unleashed the slash and the earthquake tremor, didn't even bother to check the outcome!

Activate the shockwave directly

The next instant, Im, who had just shattered the Conqueror's Haki slash with his fist and was about to deal with the tremor beneath his feet, was beside him!

A simple, straightforward uppercut landed squarely on Im's chin!

"Bang! Crack!"

Im was sent flying into the air by the powerful kick!

Gern showed no mercy and leaped up right after him!

He brought his fists together above his head, enveloped in Conqueror's Haki, and vibrating particles were frantically compressed into his fists!

"Black Shock - Meteor Fall!"

"boom!!!!"

With his fists joined together, he slammed them hard into Im's abdomen as he was airborne!

The compressed, vibrating particles instantly spread and exploded outwards in a ring shape!

A visible shockwave rippled out of the air!

Im's body slammed back to the ground with even greater speed!

.......

Gern landed lightly, slightly out of breath, his chest rising and falling.

He didn't immediately pursue, but instead raised his hand and grabbed at the air.

The black sword, Bahuang, stuck in the ground in the distance, emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.

It broke free from the ground on its own, transformed into a streak of light, and flew back into his hand.

He knew that although the combo he had just used was ruthless, it would never end so easily against Im.

really......

"call……"

The billowing smoke and dust in the deep pit were suddenly swallowed by darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged unharmed from the shrinking darkness.

It was Im.

It tilted its head, its movements slightly strange, and scrutinized Gern not far away.

"Not bad... combo."

"pity……"

“M’s ‘net’…you haven’t really seen it yet.”

The moment the words were spoken, the light in the entire area dimmed for a brief moment.

Darkness began to slowly rise from Im.

Chapter 736 Web

"Dark Rope - The Net of Binding Gods".

Im sneered, his right hand already slightly spread out, pressing forward as if to strike.

The surging darkness beneath their feet suddenly boiled over!

Countless black tentacles shot out from the darkness!

It wasn't a chaotic dance, but rather an intertwining, forming a massive, three-dimensional, ever-retracting net of darkness that descended upon Gern!

"A Dark-Dark Fruit that knows how to play tricks is troublesome..."

Gern's eyes narrowed, and the Eight Desolations in his hand transformed into a dark purple arc of destruction, slashing through at lightning speed!

Instantly, several of the thick tentacles that had attacked first were severed at the root, and dark energy splattered from the cuts!

But the severed tentacles did not disappear!

The broken front half suddenly softened and deformed in mid-air, and then split apart on its own.

More and more intricate secondary tentacles will regenerate and continue to pounce!

The severed roots instantly regenerated new tentacles, joining the encirclement!
