Chapter 68: The real body appears

Sengoku was furious that the base had suffered such massive damage.

Who could blame him for this?

He transformed into a giant Buddha, leaped up, and released a shockwave from his palms that smashed the falling roof into rubble.

The sudden attack that destroyed the base left many people on the field in shock, not knowing who had appeared.

If it weren't for Dracule Mihawk still being with the Marines, everyone would wonder if it was him who was responsible.

‘This kind of slash was just the aftermath…?’

Dracule Mihawk also frowned slightly.

In the situation just now, the slash didn't seem to be aimed directly at the Marine Headquarters, but rather like using a move where the aftermath just happened to reach them.

Moreover, the attack range was big.

Because, if it wasn’t, and the person was close by, he would definitely be discovered, but they hadn't noticed it at all, which proved that the distance of the attack was very far.

"Teach, Whitebeard is already dying, why do you have to kill him here?"

Shanks also took this opportunity to speak.

He hoped to calm down the incident and make everything resolve smoothly. Although he was also very displeased with this man, it seemed that Teach was the one who needed to be negotiated with now.

And he was also very confused as to why Blackbeard had to kill Whitebeard.

He had obviously followed Whitebeard since he was about the same age as Shanks himself.

"Mind your own business."

"Since he's going to die, he should die by my hands."

Blackbeard naturally wouldn't explain.

When everyone saw this, they just thought that Whitebeard might have done something terrible to Blackbeard, which was why he was so furious.

Whitebeard was also very confused.

He was absolutely devoted to his sons.

He felt that he hadn't treated this boy badly, but why?

"This war cannot be stopped so easily anymore."

"Unless Blackbeard dies, the Uchiha will never stop."

At this time, Yami also spoke.

At the same time, he made a gesture to signal Fugaku and the others to hide and leave the battlefield.

"Why?"

"Why stop me?"

"You're not related to Pops, are you? You've never had a reputation on the seas…"

"But why do you want to stop me from killing Pops?!"

If someone asked who the person Blackbeard wanted to kill the most at this time, it would undoubtedly be Yami.

The one who stopped him from realizing his plan.

He had killed almost all of his men, and even though he was almost exhausted, he still had to stand in front of Pops.

Why on earth? He wanted to find out…

Shanks was also looking at the two men, wondering whether it would be easier to subdue them and continue negotiating with the Marines.

"I just have to kill you; there is no other reason."

Yami said very directly.

At this time, turning around and rescuing Ace might make everything easier; after all, Shanks had appeared.

However, killing Blackbeard wasn't complicated either; he just had to wait until the main body returned.

And indeed, he was even more dissatisfied with this man.

Regarding the next missions speculation, he felt that allowing Blackbeard to become stronger would cause trouble for him, so it would be better to eliminate this future threat here.

"In that case, then you and Pops will die together."

Blackbeard didn't waste words here either.

He saw that the power on Yami's body had become much weaker just now, and at the same time, his companions who could use the same abilities were also gone.

Therefore, he wasn't prepared to continue the war of attrition, but to decide the outcome up close.

After saying that, he rushed toward Yami again.

But the giant armor that gave him a headache stopped in front of him again.

“Tsk,”

‘Fine, I’ll deal with the old man first,’

So, he had to turn around and rush toward Whitebeard, but the giant directly wrapped Whitebeard inside.

Whitebeard stood inside, reaching almost a quarter of the [Susanoo's] height.

Blackbeard placed his palms on the [Susanoo's] shield, running the [Yami-Yami no Mi] ability without any reservation, absorbing the energy of the [Susanoo].

Shanks' right hand rested on Gryphon, ready to take action at any time, because Whitebeard was more suitable for negotiation than this guy, Blackbeard.

Naturally, the Marines continued to watch, and it didn't matter which side was eliminated.

The [Susanoo's] armor gradually disappeared.

"You should go."

Seeing this, Whitebeard knew that Yami could no longer hold on, so he spoke directly.

And Blackbeard's face became more and more excited, and he already felt that victory was waving to him.

"No, it’s still fine."

Yami replied.

But after saying that, the [Susanoo's] muscles were long gone, leaving only bones.

Whitebeard was standing inside now, almost half as tall as the [Susanoo].

"No one will come to save you anymore, Pops."

"If you die at my hands, your reputation as the strongest won’t be in vain, Pops."

Blackbeard looked at Whitebeard greedily and said very brazenly.

Whitebeard looked at him silently.

‘Sigh, this old body of mine is at the end…’

"He's coming."

Yami said suddenly.

Blackbeard was startled, and his eyes turned to Shanks, but found that the red-haired Yonko was still standing where he was.

But the words he heard weren’t wrong; his [Kenbunshoku Haki] gave him a warning, but it was too late to turn around again, so he could only cover his back with [Busoshoku Haki] to meet the coming attack.

Anyone paying attention to the battlefield here saw a blue afterimage rushing toward Blackbeard.

Woosh

Then Blackbeard was directly knocked away, flying into the distance like a cannonball, heavily carving a long furrow in the ground.

"That was close. I didn't expect that so much time would be wasted."

Yami's body was crackling with electric arcs.

This was the activation mode of his lightning release cell enhancement. He had just hit Blackbeard with [Chidori] infused with [Busoshoku Haki].

He had just rushed back all the way, almost breaking the sound barrier, returning as quickly as possible.

Bam!

When the shadow clone saw the main body returning, it immediately released itself and passed all the information it had just witnessed to the main body.

Yami stood there and quickly absorbed the information transmitted by the shadow clone.

"Two? No, the one fighting before was just a... clone?"

Many people had never seen such a thing as a clone, but there were many kinds of Devil Fruits, so there was no doubt about the emergence of such abilities.

However, it wasn't the real him who was here?

Relying just on the clone ability of this unknown fruit, he resisted Blackbeard for so long?

Sengoku and others looked at Yami with sharp eyes.

Shanks also looked at Yami with confusion.

What was the origin of this powerful individual who had suddenly appeared?

"Cough! Argh…"

"No one can stop me."

Blackbeard naturally didn't die that easily.

He was just caught off guard and knocked away without even losing much blood.

He got up from the ground and glared at Yami.

Although he didn't know what the situation was, there was absolutely nothing wrong with just killing whoever stood in his way.

"It's up to me to end this battle."

"[Susanoo]"

After receiving the information from the shadow clone, Yami no longer hesitated.

The targets were here now, so there was no need to waste time.

[Susanoo's] true power was now revealed to everyone on the seas.

Blackbeard looked at Yami's head and kept raising his gaze higher and higher until it was almost impossible to tilt his head back further.

The huge dark red [Susanoo], dwarfing everyone, appeared in the plaza.
