Chapter 217: The Ragtag Blackbeard Crew
In a corner at the edge of the plaza.
"Pops is on his last legs. It's time for us to make our entrance," Blackbeard could finally no longer contain his restless heart.
In the plaza, Whitebeard's aura was weakening.
Akainu and the other two Admirals were all injured.
He first touched the guns at his waist, then turned his head to scan the ferocious, high-bounty criminals he had brought out of Impel Down. Only then did a smug look appear on his face.
If it weren't for these people, given the current situation, he wouldn't dare to go out and snatch Whitebeard's ability.
A man in an Impel Down uniform, a cigar held in the corner of his mouth, spoke coldly.
"Are you sure you want to act, Teach?" Shiliew of the Rain took a step forward, one hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Zehahaha!"
A burning heat flashed in Blackbeard's eyes. "As long as I can obtain Pops's power, any risk is worth it."
"Zehahaha!"
"Let's go!"
Teach took a step forward, his subordinates following closely behind.
The several prisoners from Impel Down stood where they were, glanced at each other, and then slowly followed.
"Finally, I can go kill people."
"This feeling is really nice, jyehahaha!"
On the plaza, besides the three Admirals surrounding and killing Whitebeard, other Marines also surrounded them from a distance, taking a shot whenever they found an opportunity.
The moment Blackbeard appeared on the plaza, someone immediately caught sight of the abruptly appearing group.
"Is that... Blackbeard Teach?!"
"It's the Blackbeard Pirates!"
"Look behind them!"
"Aren't those the high-bounty criminals imprisoned on Level 6!"
A few Marine officers recognized at a glance the heinous villains behind Blackbeard, including the giant figure hiding behind the headquarters building.
"Giant Battleship, Sanjuan Wolf!"
"Corrupt King, Avalo Pizarro! Heavy Drinker, Vasco Shot! And Crescent Moon Hunter, Catarina Devon!!"
"Isn't that Impel Down's Head Jailer, Shiliew of the Rain? How did he end up with them?!"
The sudden turn of events immediately attracted the attention of the entire field.
Not just the Marines, but the Seven Warlords who had been observing the battle, as well as Reiner and Sengoku on the execution platform, all looked towards the group that had just made their entrance.
"Blackbeard Teach!"
Seeing the main culprit who had released a large number of prisoners from Impel Down...
...Sengoku's anger instantly flared up. "How did they get here?"
"Why do you care so much?"
Reiner glanced at him and said, "Blackbeard can steal others' Devil Fruit abilities. He's here for Whitebeard."
"Want to team up and take him out?"
A corner of Reiner's mouth lifted as he looked at Sengoku with great interest.
Faced with Blackbeard, Reiner would of course find a way to weaken him. It would be even better if they could kill Blackbeard here.
"Steal others' abilities?" Sengoku reacted, roughly guessing the reason Reiner had stayed behind. "You have a grudge against them?"
"Why do you have to ask about everything?"
Do I have to tell you the whole story? Reiner was a little impatient. "You don't want to see Blackbeard get Whitebeard's ability either, do you?"
Sengoku's expression was as usual, but he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed inside.
Just for Teach's betrayal of the Marines before the war and releasing a large number of criminals from Impel Down, he already wanted to kill him.
Not to mention, if the part about stealing Devil Fruits was true, then he certainly couldn't let it go unchecked.
Why does it feel like I'm being ordered around by a pirate?
Forget it. Sengoku was not a person who acted rashly on impulse. After some calm thought, he knew what was the right thing to do.
Since Reiner and Blackbeard are at odds, why not take this opportunity to use him?
A golden light emanated from Sengoku's body.
Seeing this, Reiner directly summoned his other undead.
Isn't this a win-win situation? He loved this kind of cooperation, devoid of any sentiment, based entirely on benefits!
The one who reacted most strongly to Blackbeard's appearance was, without a doubt, Whitebeard.
"Teach!!"
"You beast! You still have the face to appear before me!"
Whitebeard, who was on his last breath, had his aura suddenly erupt.
He completely ignored Kizaru's laser beams, dragging his greatsword as he charged straight for Blackbeard!
A golden beam pierced his chest. A splash of blood came from the corner of Whitebeard's mouth, but he gritted his teeth and didn't stop.
Seeing the figure charging at him, Blackbeard pressed one hand on the ground. Black mist, like flames, burned on his body and then spread across the ground.
"Kurouzu!"
"You're old now!"
Blackbeard's eyes were venomous, and a deep darkness spread out from him as the center. "Just die like this, Pops!!"
"I will never acknowledge you as my son!!"
Whitebeard stepped on the ground of dark flames, completely ignoring it. The power of tremors enveloped his fist as he smashed down with all his might.
"I will definitely kill you!"
"An'sui!"
Blackbeard raised his hand to block. Pitch-black mist gushed from his palm, crashing against the ball of aura that contained destructive power.
Whitebeard felt as if he had hit cotton. His ability was actually being absorbed bit by bit by that ball of darkness!
"Cough, cough!"
This punch aggravated the countless wounds on his body, and blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth!
"Zehahaha!"
"All abilities are useless before me!"
Clang!
Before Blackbeard could get too pleased, Whitebeard gritted his teeth and endured, gripping Murakumogiri with his right hand and slashing diagonally at the other's body!
A splash of blood flew!
"Aaaah!!"
Blackbeard howled loudly.
He lay on the ground, rolling in pain.
Black smoke billowed and spread over the shocking wound. Teach roared with all his might!
"Kill him for me!"
As his voice fell, Shiliew and the others behind him revealed ferocious glints, immediately drawing their swords and guns to attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Clang!
Clang!
Whitebeard's towering figure was like a candle in the wind, his arms crossed in front of him to barely parry.
A large number of bullets pierced his skin, and swords and sabers continuously stabbed into his flesh and bone.
Blackbeard got up ferociously, drew the pistols from his waist, and pulled the triggers like a madman!
The wound on his chest had already recovered completely.
"Zehahaha!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He dared to make a move because he had been eyeing the moment Whitebeard was on his last breath!
The group frantically poured firepower onto Whitebeard, hacking and slashing with their swords without stopping for a moment!
"Just fall already, Pops!" Teach's eyes were venomous, his fleshy face gradually twisting.
The thought of killing Whitebeard and seizing the power of the Gura Gura no Mi made his eyes become more and more fanatical.
But how could Reiner let him succeed so easily?
The War Ogre's figure descended from the sky!
Bang!!
Its feet landed heavily on the ground, causing the surroundings to tremble. It pushed off violently and charged at Blackbeard!
"What is this thing!" Teach cried out in alarm.
When he arrived, Reiner and Sengoku had already stopped fighting. He had not witnessed these undead.
He was extremely surprised by the demon that suddenly rushed at him.
But he knew the other was hostile, and his first reaction was to punch out.
The War Ogre drew back its thick arm and likewise smashed its fist down.
Bang!! The moment the two fists collided, Blackbeard's pupils constricted. He felt as if the bones in his entire arm were about to shatter, and a piercing pain shot into his mind!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He was immediately sent flying backward, his body skipping across the ground like a stone on water for dozens of meters!
"Aaaah!!"
Teach clutched his arm and rolled on the ground. "It hurts so much!!"
"Captain!"
"You bastard!"
"Who are you?"
Shiliew was the first to react, drawing his sword and slashing upwards from below!
Clang!
Sparks flew. The black blade Shusui steadily parried the attack.
Sukuna pushed away the other's sword and swung his hand out with a sharp glint!
Zing!
Squelch!
The slash directly tore open his uniform. Shiliew's figure retreated sharply, leaving a splash of blood on the ground. He looked gravely at the sneering Sukuna before him.
Swish!
Van Augur calmly raised his sniper rifle. A bullet shot out as if surpassing the speed of sound!
Bang!
Ding!
A gunshot rang out. A pitch-black bullet whistled through the air.
The two bullets collided in mid-air and were deflected.
A black trench coat fluttered. It was the Gun Devil, his face cold, four arms simultaneously emerging from his coat.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! The ferocious muzzles spat fire, and bullets poured out, sealing off all of the opponent's retreat routes!
Van Augur leaped backward while firing continuously. Several pellets clashed in mid-air with a clanging sound, but one bullet still broke through the tight defense.
He hurriedly tilted his head. The bullet grazed his cheek and shot a hole in his earlobe!
Van Augur gritted his teeth, subconsciously raised his hand to touch his ear, which was burning with pain. The seeping blood stained his fingers red.
At the same time, a dazzling electric light flashed from above. Several lightning snakes, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures, bit down fiercely at the Blackbeard camp.
"Watch the sky!" Laffitte shouted urgently, transforming his wings and quickly retreating.
Boom!!
Boom!!
Violent energy instantly exploded!
Several electric arcs, like swimming snakes, spread out from the ground. A strong impact spread out, sweeping away all the rubble on the ground!
Burgess and Doc Q were sent flying directly, their bodies charred black as they struggled to get up from the ground.
On the other hand, the several prisoners brought from Impel Down, Catarina and the others, managed to resist it.
However, before they could counterattack, a dark shadow emerged from the ground.
Catarina and the others subconsciously jerked their heads up.
A massive golden Buddha descended from the sky!
"A bunch of scumbags!!"
"Go back to Impel Down!!"
Sengoku's eyes were wide with anger. A golden shockwave, almost tangible, condensed in his palm and was thrust out towards them!
"Buddha's Impact!!"
Boom!!
In an instant, the earth cracked and giant rocks rose!
A wide-ranging shockwave enveloped everyone.
Including the undead, it was as if they would be crushed by this terrifying impact.
Avalo Pizarro, Vasco Shot, Catarina Devon, and the others all had their eyes wide with fury, spitting blood.
Boom!!!
The shockwave in Sengoku's palm condensed even more, and with a flash of golden light, it exploded again!
A large cloud of dust was kicked up, and rolling thick smoke flew everywhere.
Reiner lowered his brow and glanced at Sengoku. He even blasted the undead. This palm strike definitely carried some resentment towards him.
Good thing I didn't go personally, otherwise I would have definitely been sneak-attacked.
He turned his head back.
The thick smoke gradually dissipated, revealing several figures still in prison uniforms.
They lay scattered on the ground, pathetically propping themselves up.
A trace of contempt appeared on Reiner's face. What a bunch of ugly misfits.
Are they in bad shape?
Or is this really all the strength they have?
The prisoners held on the sixth level of the great underwater prison were all high-bounty criminals, but not all of them were powerhouses like Bullet, Ace, Jinbe, and Crocodile.
Some, although their strength was not bad, were imprisoned on the sixth level more for committing heinous crimes with extremely negative impacts.
He had originally just wanted to stay behind to stop Blackbeard from taking the Gura Gura no Mi.
But if this was all the strength the other party had...
A cold smile lifted a corner of Reiner's mouth, and a decision was made in his heart.
I'll kill as many as I can...
