Chapter 65: Be My Son

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

After hearing the order, Fugaku and the others took action without hesitation.

Everyone appeared instantly, released kunai, shuriken, and explosive kunai.

All of them rushed toward Blackbeard himself, but when they drew close, just like before, they were all redirected by the suction force, making them almost unable to threaten him.

Blackbeard was also startled by this movement.

He thought the Marines had intervened and almost despaired.

However, he discovered that the people around him who were attacking wore clothing very similar to the Shichibukai blocking him, and their attack abilities were identical as well.

"You even brought subordinates… why do you have to stop me at all costs?!"

Blackbeard was going crazy.

But he didn't take it seriously, because he, who had unleashed the [Yami-Yami no Mi] with full strength, couldn't be handled by ordinary subordinates.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

However, Shisui and the others had also observed for a long time and had seen Blackbeard's abilities.

The explosive tags detonated before they could be swallowed by the black mist.

They directly blasted several holes in the black mist, but these were quickly filled by the surrounding darkness.

"Use ninjutsu."

Fugaku remained very calm. Only after experiencing it himself did he understand how troublesome this black mist was.

However, their mission wasn't to defeat this guy, but to contain him, and there were many ways to accomplish that.

Shisui and Itachi came to Fugaku without hesitation, then Shisui rapidly formed hand seals.

Almost everyone could only see afterimages as the ninjutsu was released in less than a second.

"[Fūton: Daitoppa]"

Shisui puffed out his chest, then exhaled a rapidly rotating hurricane in one breath, rushing toward Blackbeard's location.

[Fūton] was much more effective against the black mist than [Katon].

It quickly broke through the darkness and emerged.

Blackbeard, who was stopped by the Susanoo's long sword, hadn't expected that these small fries he'd dismissed would actually be so troublesome.

"Hahaha"

However, he saw that the [Fūton] didn't hit him.

In the end, it was still two meters away from him and was sucked to the ground by the gravitational force, not affecting him at all.

But his smile quickly froze.

"[Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu]"

Fugaku formed seals, and the second ninjutsu struck again.

Both techniques were combinations of chakra nature transformation and shape manipulation, making them extremely powerful.

The [Ryūka no Jutsu] rushed toward Blackbeard along the passage opened by [Fūton] just moments before.

Blackbeard's expression stiffened.

These flames couldn't kill him at all; he was certain of that, but they hurt like hell.

With so much flame covering his body, Blackbeard felt his pain-sensing nerves were about to snap.

"[Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu]"

Finally, Itachi added [Suiton], three types of elemental techniques rushing toward Blackbeard one after another.

The Uchiha were also experimenting to see which attributes would be more effective against this black mist.

"Ahhhhh"

"Small fries, this isn't a battlefield you can just join!"

Blackbeard roared.

Black mist surged out rapidly, and Yami's Susanoo sword was quickly swallowed by the darkness.

At the same time, he freed his other hand to absorb the [Ryūka no Jutsu] and [Daibakufu no Jutsu] coming toward him.

At this moment, Blackbeard fought with everything he had.

Yami simply abandoned the Susanoo sword.

"[Fūton: Daitoppa]."

Shisui used [Fūton] again, but this time the target was Yami, who was surrounded by the black mist.

The [Daitoppa] rushed over and almost instantly blew away the black mist from the Susanoo's body, though the darkness soon returned.

"[Amaterasu]"

Fugaku seized the opportunity and used [Amaterasu] directly on Blackbeard.

Bloody tears fell directly from Fugaku's eye.

Blackbeard didn't have time to dodge.

Although warned by his [Kenbunshoku Haki], he didn't want to retreat, because if he withdrew again, he didn't know how much effort it would take to reach this position.

And at such a distance, he didn't think anything could threaten him while using the [Yami-Yami no Mi].

"It hurts."

But immediately, he regretted it.

[Amaterasu's] flames directly manifested at the point where the [Mangekyō Sharingan] user's sight focused.

If you dodged in advance, it would be difficult to hit.

But Blackbeard had prepared to resist forcefully.

After all, he couldn't predict the future with his [Kenbunshoku Haki], so he was suddenly burned by the black flames.

The pain of being burned all over his body instantly caused him extreme agony, but he still managed to use the [Yami-Yami no Mi's] suction power to absorb [Amaterasu].

"Can't [Amaterasu] resist the absorption power?"

Fugaku was somewhat weakened.

He felt that if he led the Uchiha in this world, he would probably only play a minor role.

Itachi, who had also been preparing to release [Amaterasu], had no choice but to abandon the idea.

The [Kage Bunshin] of the other two clansmen were still attacking with kunai and shuriken, trying to create separation.

"Since you want to stop me, then everyone can die in the darkness."

"[Dark Hole]"

Blackbeard completely lost his mind after being burned by [Amaterasu].

He planned to use [Dark Hole] to suck in everyone around him, including Whitebeard.

Even if he was damaged and the plan failed, there was nothing he could do.

If this continued, the possibility of his plan failing was higher than the possibility of [Dark Hole] failing.

At this time, he only hoped the old man had stronger vitality and wouldn't die so quickly.

The black mist was completely liberated and rapidly dispersed around, covering the surrounding battlefield in less than thirty seconds.

On the Marine side, if Whitebeard hadn't cut a chasm to prevent the black mist from attacking the interior of the Marines, the entire plaza would have been covered by darkness.

The battlefields of Sakazuki, Ace, and others nearby were also affected by the black mist.

However, they were both Logia types.

At this time, their battlefield was almost scorching hot, and the black mist couldn't approach their central combat zone.

"Kid, you're very interesting, be my son."

On Yami's side, as he was frowning at the black mist, controlling his Susanoo to condense a new chakra sword to force the darkness back.

Suddenly, Whitebeard's voice came from behind him.

Hearing these words clearly made his expression darken.

'Good grief, I'm here to save you, and you want me to be your son?'

"You're not qualified…"

Yami was even prepared to kill Whitebeard first to avoid giving Blackbeard the chance to obtain the [Gura-Gura no Mi]…

Yet this guy still wanted him to be his son?

"Gurararara"

"Then I'll let you see if I'm qualified."

Whitebeard wasn’t offended; he only laughed.

Then his eyes widened as he clenched his fist tightly and punched the air hard.

Crack

Everyone around could see the air being shattered.

An invisible impact directly pushed the black mist in front of Yami back instantly.

‘This guy really still has such fighting ability…’

Sengoku's eyes were fixed on Whitebeard.

Although Blackbeard was dangerous, killing Whitebeard remained the first priority.

But the quake power, when approaching Blackbeard, had the same result as Yami's previous attacks.

After approaching Blackbeard, it was directly absorbed by his raised hand.

"Pops, your time has passed."

"The future era will be mine."

Blackbeard spoke with a crazed look, his eyes full of confidence.

Looking at this situation, the surrounding Marines all, without exception, felt disgusted with this man.

"That's it?"

Yami turned his head to look at Whitebeard and spoke calmly.

Whitebeard was somewhat helpless.

His physical strength had dropped too much, and he couldn't exert much power at all.
