Chapter 64: Team Attack

"[Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku]"

There was too much black mist, and Yami had to release some ninjutsu to clear the battlefield slightly.

The massive sea of fire and black mist collided, and it held no advantage whatsoever.

On the contrary, it was somewhat disadvantaged.

Although it possessed a fire attribute chakra sufficient to ignite everything, it was still far inferior to the corrosion carried by the black mist.

Thus, [Gōka Mekkyaku] only limited the black mist's speed and couldn't fundamentally solve the problem.

‘This isn't the main body. I need to use chakra more sparingly and try to maintain combat readiness until the main body returns.’

Yami had no intention of killing Blackbeard right now.

Just relying on a [Kage Bunshin] was still far from sufficient.

At this time, he was roughly equivalent to Itachi, able to use his [Mangekyō Sharingan] without side effects, but his chakra wasn't as unlimited.

Most importantly, the shadow clone would automatically disperse after receiving a certain amount of damage.

It couldn't engage in direct confrontation.

“Fugaku-san, should we help Yamikage-sama?”

The Uchiha group were all hiding at this moment and hadn't been discovered by others.

At the same time, they also felt this battlefield wasn't something ordinary people could participate in.

The battlefield between the three Admirals was extremely intense at this time, with explosions never ceasing.

Shisui felt he had almost no chance of victory against those three Admirals.

"Just follow Yamikage-sama's orders, keep watch on Shiryu, and don't let him leave the battlefield."

"This is just a [Kage Bunshin]. When our leader returns, the battle should be over. But if something unexpected happens, it's up to us to stop that guy."

Fugaku said calmly.

If they truly were needed to take action, Yami would summon them without hesitation.

Just a gesture, and they could see it.

But since it hadn't happened yet, it proved that Yami's side wasn't ready for them to act.

"Yes."

Shisui and the others nodded, their eyes almost never leaving the battle on Yami's side.

Lucci felt his blood boiling.

He felt this battlefield was the level of combat he hoped to achieve.

However, he knew he hadn't yet mastered [Busoshoku Haki], and his current strength was insignificant here.

‘The black mist isn't very effective. It seems I should take action personally.’

‘As long as I touch this guy and disable his abilities, I can kill him with one blow.’

Blackbeard had used black mist to attack several times, but was blocked by Yami.

This made him somewhat impatient.

After all, he didn't know when the Marines would interfere, and he didn't know if the old man would suddenly regain his breath.

There were too many variables, and he lacked Yami's patience.

He exerted force under his feet and rushed toward Yami again.

Although attacking Whitebeard would be more effective, what he wanted was an intact Whitebeard, and his executed plan required certain prerequisites, so he had to eliminate this annoying Shichibukai brat.

Yami once again released shuriken and kunai enhanced with [Raiton].

But this time, Blackbeard didn't dodge and used his body to resist the shuriken and kunai.

He was a Logia Devil Fruit user, but he wasn't immune to the pain caused by these attacks; he would actually be injured.

It was just that this pain would be more intense than usual, so he didn't want to experience this kind of agony.

But now, there was no time for him to consider these things.

He decided not to dodge attacks he could avoid, wasting precious time.

"Are you going to fight desperately?"

Seeing this, Yami had to change his fighting method.

If he could maintain distance, this shadow clone would be sufficient to delay for a long time, but with Whitebeard to guard, he couldn't retreat and had to resist forcefully.

"Crackle!"

A dark red long sword appeared in the Susanoo's right hand, while the other held the shield, and then the long sword was instantly covered by an electrical current, emitting the sound of arcing electricity.

This was [Raiton] attached to the weapon by Yami.

It didn't consume much and was sufficient to last for an extended period.

At the same time, Blackbeard also rushed forward.

With a large amount of black mist following behind him, he directly raised his fist covered in [Busoshoku Haki] and struck toward Yami's location.

But Yami naturally wouldn't let him attack where he wanted. As Blackbeard rushed over, the Susanoo swung his lightning sword and slashed at him.

Blackbeard showed no fear and directly raised his hand to take the blow forcefully.

"Most of the power was absorbed by that so-called suction force!"

Yami felt it very clearly and couldn't help but frown.

Even so, the surrounding ground shook again, but it was already cracked and couldn't crack further.

At the same time, it was covered by black mist, making it impossible to see what was happening.

"Be swallowed by darkness!"

Although he looked strong, Blackbeard felt severe pain throughout his body at this time.

With bloodshot eyes, like a rabid patient, he shouted loudly to vent the pain in his body.

Black mist swept up instantly, directly enveloping the Susanoo.

"[Raiton: Chidori Nagashi]"

Yami formed seals inside his Susanoo, releasing indiscriminate lightning release that spread around.

But the effect was minimal; it only slightly slowed the Susanoo's corrosion rate.

The long sword and Blackbeard were locked in a stalemate, unable to separate.

The main reason was that he had to watch Whitebeard and could only spend time with this guy here.

Yami was very helpless.

The shadow clone was powerful, but had too many limitations.

At the same time, the [Yami-Yami no Mi's] corrosive and devouring abilities were also very restrictive for him.

A single attribute couldn't compare with the [Yami-Yami no Mi's] capabilities.

If he had a [Kekkei Genkai], he should be able to sustain for a longer time.

But time was too tight, and Yami hadn't had time to develop it.

[Busoshoku Haki] wasn't very effective on shadow clones.

They were subject to too many restrictions.

Just like clones couldn't open the [Hachimon Tonkō], if it were a clone with certain strength like [Mokuton], it might have some effect.

Shadow clones were composed entirely of chakra, making them too restrictive.

‘Come back quickly, main body, I feel like I can't hold on much longer’

The stalemate lasted less than a minute, and Yami felt it was difficult, even though 20% chakra was quite a lot.

But that wasn't how it should be used.

The Susanoo couldn't stop at all; his huge figure would be corroded by more black mist.

At the same time, Blackbeard had to be stopped and not allowed to run around.

The situation immediately fell into disadvantage.

The Uchiha clan, hiding in the shadows, were very nervous and ready to help at any moment.

In the end, Yami chose to call for reinforcements.

He took out his communication device and started calling within Susanoo.

"Use [Kage Bunshin] to contain him. Only those with [Mangekyō Sharingan] should appear. If you find it dangerous, retreat immediately.”

Yami spoke very briefly.

It was time for the Uchiha team to attack.
