Chapter 61: Whitebeard's Serious Attack

At the same time, Shisui wasted no more time and attacked with full force.

The [Shunshin no Jutsu] was almost identical to teleportation, combined with attacks from Shusui hardened with [Busoshoku Haki] and wreathed in flames.

He instantly appeared at three locations around Avalo Pizarro's body.

Avalo Pizarro sensed danger through [Kenbunshoku Haki], but couldn't react at all.

After all, he couldn't predict the future with his [Kenbunshoku Haki].

Although he felt the danger and used [Busoshoku Haki] to harden three locations, Shisui, blessed with the super dynamic vision of the [Sharingan], was able to change his attack position at the final moment, and Avalo Pizarro's speed couldn't react at all.

Three lacerated wounds appeared directly on his body, but the wounds were cauterized by the flames, preventing blood from spurting out.

Yami showed no courtesy and stepped forward to deliver the finishing blow.

With Avalo Pizarro injured and his reaction speed slowed, he had no time to dodge and was directly struck in the head by Yami's [Chidori].

Next came Vasco Shot, who was restrained by seastone handcuffs.

He couldn't gauge the extent of damage while weakened by [Haki], so he naturally couldn't break free and was easily killed by Yami.

[7/10]

Looking at the system prompt, Yami confirmed these two were truly dead.

But before Yami could feel satisfied, the [Kage Bunshin] responsible for monitoring the massive battleship San Juan Wolf, soaking in the sea, released itself and brought back information.

"Is this guy planning to flee?"

"Tch."

Yami frowned.

Then he separated a [Kage Bunshin] with 20% chakra.

"Shisui, Itachi. Good job."

"There's a target elsewhere. I'll go handle it and return."

Yami continued.

In this mission, Yami wasn't afraid of head-on confrontation, but rather that his opponents would scatter and flee. That was the most troublesome scenario.

And the remaining three were the most difficult to handle.

Blackbeard was the boss, but Shiryu didn't possess Devil Fruit powers. His fighting ability should exceed that of a Vice Admiral, with almost no obvious weaknesses.

The other giant, San Juan Wolf, was about to escape.

At 180 meters tall, the power of a single slap alone could cause more destruction than the explosion of dozens of artillery shells.

Shisui and the others dispersed and hid again, while Yami's clone observed the battlefield and gathered intelligence, always ready to seize opportunities or stop Blackbeard's plan.

20% of his chakra was sufficient for serious combat.

Except for the complete [Susanoo], which couldn't be manifested, as well as his dōjutsu techniques, other ninjutsu could be released.

Shiryu and Blackbeard began violently attacking Whitebeard.

The Marines were pleased to see this scene.

Sakazuki faced off against Ace, but couldn't completely beat or finish him quickly because he kept dodging.

On the sidelines, Kuzan was fighting Marco.

The seastone handcuffs on his hands had been unlocked by someone on the ship skilled in lock-picking. After all, the lock's structure was too simple.

Kizaru had been going "so scary, so scary," constantly firing lasers at the Moby Dick.

The ice on Diamond Jozu's body was melted by Marco's phoenix flames, and he struggled to resist Kizaru's laser attacks.

The Marines were happy with this situation, as this was their home base and they weren't afraid of a war of attrition.

Sengoku remained vigilant against Whitebeard, watching the battle between Blackbeard and Whitebeard with keen eyes, ready to prevent Whitebeard from becoming cornered and doing something desperate.

Having been enemies for so many years, he knew this old man's thinking very well.

The Shichibukai all watched the spectacle, as if blocked by the chasm Whitebeard had opened, and didn't continue taking action.

‘Is this Whitebeard?’

‘It takes so much effort from him just to parry my slashes. How can he be called the strongest man in the world?’

A crazed look appeared on Shiryu's face.

His right hand kept swinging his weapon, engaging in close combat with Whitebeard.

This was the most uncomfortable fighting style for Whitebeard at this moment.

His body was no longer in good condition and wasn't suitable for such fierce close combat.

If he kept using his Devil Fruit powers, he could last for a long time.

"Brat, if you want to defeat me, you're a hundred years too early!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Whitebeard's right hand slashed the vibration-enhanced Murakumogiri directly toward the two brats before him.

At the same time, his left hand violently released a powerful quake behind his back.

Although the clamor was fierce, Shiryu didn't dare resist the quake's power. When he realized Whitebeard was about to attack, he didn't hesitate to hide behind Blackbeard, letting him completely absorb the quake power.

Whitebeard's attack behind him was aimed at Sakazuki.

Whitebeard didn't care about his own death, but he understood his son's desire to save him; there was no need to continue like this.

The quake power erupted instantly, and Sakazuki had no choice but to resist directly.

After all, Ace before him could use [Busoshoku Haki] to resist the shockwave with his elements, but this kid would catch any opening.

"Pops."

Ace and the others burst into tears.

And Blackbeard felt he was getting closer and closer to realizing his plan.

Seeing his father full of blood, he rushed toward Blackbeard, wanting to kill him.

"Teach, do you really think my fighting ability is only this much?!"

Whitebeard looked at Blackbeard charging toward him with bloodshot eyes and raised Murakumogiri in his hand again.

Blackbeard felt his heart palpitate, almost as if the surrounding space had stopped, his entire body filled with terror as he recalled his father's achievements over the years.

His feet immediately stopped, and he raised his hands to release his power and absorb the impact.

Meanwhile, Shiryu had no intention of working earnestly for Blackbeard.

He didn't rush forward with Blackbeard at all, but stood to the side like a venomous snake, ready to strike at any moment.

"Hmm."

Murakumogiri's blade was instantly covered in [Busoshoku Haki].

There was even a red arc of electricity constantly dancing on the weapon.

This was a powerful strike infused with [Haoshoku Haki].

Whitebeard seemed to return to his peak at this moment.

It was too late for Blackbeard to evade, and he felt regret for his rash advance just now.

He raised his hands, and black mist almost completely covered his body.

He prepared to use the [Yami-Yami no Mi's] power to absorb all the energy from the attack before him, a fierce look appearing on his face.

From today onward, he would no longer fear this man.

"BOOM!"

In an instant, with Whitebeard as the epicenter, the ground within a nearly two-hundred-meter area immediately sank down.

The closer to Whitebeard's position, the deeper the depression became.

At the same time, the stone slabs on the ground shattered into blocks of varying sizes.

A second later, the rubble was blown into the air and scattered in all directions like bullets, causing the surrounding Marines to scatter in panic.
