"Hey, Cheng Xiaoyu! Don't you have any rules when you're out here mixing it up?!"
Blackbeard roared towards the sky, his voice trembling slightly.
Cheng Xiaoyu coldly looked down at Blackbeard, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Rules?"
"My rules are the rules!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, striking Blackbeard's heart.
Blackbeard's gaze darted back and forth between Whitebeard and Cheng Xiaoyu, sweat trickling down his forehead.
He suddenly realized how dangerous his current situation was.
"Fa… Father!"
Blackbeard suddenly turned to Whitebeard, his voice pleading.
"I'm also your son! I'm so… so sorry, please let me go! I don't want the Tremor-Tremor Fruit anymore!"
However, apologizing now was useless.
"Boom!"
Amidst a deafening roar, Shadow Whitebeard's punch, filled with endless fury, landed squarely on Blackbeard's front teeth.
The air was torn into spiderweb-like black cracks, and the violent power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit pressed Blackbeard down, grinding him against the ground.
This made Blackbeard's already sparse teeth even worse.
"Im… impossible!"
Blackbeard's eyes widened, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.
The ground beneath them split open with a roar under the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, forming a massive, bottomless chasm.
Blackbeard's eyes gradually turned white, and his body uncontrollably plummeted into the abyss, his shrill screams slowly fading into the darkness.
Blackbeard's crew stood rooted to the spot, unmoving, their faces filled with disbelief.
Shiryu, who had just joined the Blackbeard Pirates, was stunned, his mouth agape, his cigar dropping to the ground, his eyes wide as saucers.
"Your turn."
Before they could react, Whitebeard's figure had already appeared before them.
His speed was so fast, it was as if he had returned to his prime.
Blackbeard's crew didn't even have time to make any defensive moves.
Air ripped, earth trembled!
After a loud bang, all of Blackbeard's crew were sent flying like broken kites, plummeting into the deep abyss beneath the ground.
Just like that, Blackbeard's crew was instantly annihilated!
At this moment, Marineford fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of waves lapping against the shore echoing.
"Fa… Father?"
Marco called out, his voice trembling, tears uncontrollably streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Shadow Whitebeard turned around, a fatherly smile appearing on his face, which was made of shadows.
"Marco, the heavy burden of the Whitebeard Pirates will be on your shoulders from now on."
"No!"
Marco knelt on the ground, tears flowing, "Father, don't leave us!"
Whitebeard's shadow slowly raised his head, looking towards the distant sea.
"The new era has no ship that can carry me."
His voice held a sense of relief, "Farewell, my beloved sons!"
"Father!"
"Father!"
… …
Countless members of the Whitebeard Pirates screamed themselves hoarse, but that towering figure gradually dissipated amidst their cries, turning into specks of black light that vanished into the air.
High in the sky, Cheng Xiaoyu quietly watched this scene, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
"What a pity, I didn't expect this to be Whitebeard's last dance."
Ultimately, Whitebeard had no regrets in his life.
His era had also completely ended.
People around the world watching the battle through live screens were too shocked to speak by the strange abilities Cheng Xiaoyu displayed.
The dead could actually be manipulated by him into shadow warriors; such an ability was simply unheard of!
"Cheng Xiaoyu!"
Sengoku's roar echoed through the sky, "Do you know what you're doing?!"
Cheng Xiaoyu coldly stared at the enraged Sengoku below, "What, do you have an opinion?"
He scanned the battlefield, calculating the time in his mind.
Soon, Red-Haired Shanks and his commanders would defeat Kaido and King and arrive at Marineford.
Before that guy came to save face, he had to harvest another wave quickly to maximize his profits.
Sengoku's face was terribly grim, veins throbbing on his forehead.
He stared intently at Cheng Xiaoyu, gritting his teeth as he said:
"Do you still have any respect for the law in your eyes? Any laws? Your reckless behavior is simply trampling on justice!"
"Hahaha…"
Cheng Xiaoyu laughed uproariously, his laughter filled with mockery.
"What damn law? It's nothing but a means for the ruling class to enslave the lower class. Tell me, what kind of despicable things haven't the Celestial Dragons done?"
Sengoku's face grew even gloomier, but he was speechless.
Cheng Xiaoyu's words struck directly at the weak points of the Marine and the World Government.
Then, Cheng Xiaoyu's voice suddenly turned cold, like an ice blade.
"When innocent civilians were slaughtered by the Celestial Dragons, where were you?"
"When their beloved wives and daughters were forcibly taken by the Celestial Dragons! Where were you then?"
"Do you still dare to shout about justice?"
"You didn't even dare to fart! How are you any different from accomplices?"
"There is no absolute justice, only absolute power!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, striking Sengoku's heart.
He opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.
Because every word Cheng Xiaoyu said was a bloody truth.
Cheng Xiaoyu's words exploded like thunder, spreading across the world through the live broadcast.
Countless viewers were dumbfounded, some gasped.
Some clenched their fists, and even more trembled with excitement.
Doflamingo pushed up his sunglasses, "Fufufu… Interesting. Publicly provoking the Celestial Dragons in such a setting, is this guy tired of living?"
Eustass Kid roared with laughter: "Hahaha! What a lunatic! Explosive!"
On Nine Serpent Island, Hancock was watching all of this through the live broadcast.
The beautiful Empress clasped her hands to her heart, her pretty face flushed:
"Such a man… such charisma… truly worthy of my affection! I'm in love! I'm in love!"
At the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Dragon stood by the window, a meaningful smile playing on his lips:
"Well said! He spoke what so many people wanted to say but didn't dare to."
Sengoku's face had turned extremely grim, and his entire body began to change.
Amidst golden flashes, a giant golden Buddha appeared on the battlefield, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Since you want to be an enemy of the Marine, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Sengoku was a strategist; before the war began, he had considered countless possibilities.
He had calculated that other Four Emperors might come to cause trouble, but he hadn't calculated that Cheng Xiaoyu, this newcomer, would dare to join the fun.
Then fight!
The golden flashing giant Buddha and the pitch-black shadows confronted each other in the air!
The atmosphere of the entire Marineford became heavy…
At Cheng Xiaoyu's command, the Shadow Dragon and shadows suddenly descended from the sky, finally crashing onto the plaza!
Just then, Aokiji slowly walked forward, forming an ice stick in his hand, and casually said:
"Hey, hey, do you, a mere newcomer, dare to challenge us? Don't underestimate the power of the Marine."
Cheng Xiaoyu's lips curled into a cold smile: "Is that so?"
He slowly raised his right hand, and shadows as black as ink condensed in his palm.
"It's time for a proper introduction, my Shadow Legion!"
