Chapter 47 Terrifying Yami Yami no Mi Ability! Dispels All Power! (Ch 47)

“The lava… the lava has stopped.”

“It seems… I’m saved!!”

The breeze blew gently, carrying wisps of dust, like the gentle hand of nature, instantly smoothing out the mess and noise on the battlefield.

The young pirate and the navy captain, whose lives were hanging by a thread just now, miraculously survived on the edge of being swallowed by the magma, and now they hugged each other and cried.

Their faces were covered in dust and sweat, but their eyes were shining with joy and disbelief at having survived the disaster.

“The general…he was…”

A navy soldier was chasing the fleeing pirates, but suddenly stopped, his eyes fell on the ruins where Akainu collapsed, and his weapon fell silently:

“Medical team! Come on… stop standing there.”

“Thief hahahaha——”

“It was a close call! It was a close call!”

Under the rubble, a large hand covered with jeweled rings slowly stretched out. Then, Blackbeard staggered to his feet and looked up at the neatly cut fortress behind him with a cold look in his eyes:

“This guy… is hiding his strength just like me!”

“If I had known earlier, I should have gotten rid of him at that time.”

As he spoke, he ran his fingertips over his missing front teeth, a fierce smile on his lips:

“But it doesn’t matter. Once we get that thing, we will settle our accounts.”

“You’re still alive… Teach…”

Surrounded by the navy, Whitebeard slowly withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly:

“It seems that the red-nosed kid left a deep impression on you.”

He paused, his eyes sharp again:

“It’s time to put an end to this.”

“You violated the only iron rule on my ship, so I will take your life and let Thatch rest in peace!”

Before he finished speaking, a surging shock wave began to spread out from him, blowing away the gravel and dust on the ground as well as the sailors around him who had no time to react. But just as it was about to touch Blackbeard, it was suddenly sucked in by a black vortex and dissipated in an instant.

“Thief hahahaha——”

“My abilities are pretty good, aren’t they, Dad?”

The latter laughed wildly and suddenly opened his hands. Black liquid surged out of his body like a tide, quickly covering the surrounding ground and swallowing up everything within reach, including the navy soldiers and pirates who were trying to escape.

“What…what is this…!”

“The body is…slowly sinking!”

Suddenly, wailing sounds were heard again. Although everyone struggled hard, they could only helplessly watch their bodies being gradually submerged.

“I don’t want to kill the cook unless I have to.”

A cruel smile appeared on Blackbeard’s lips:

“However, it just so happened that he was the one who got the fruit. Even if I couldn’t bear it, I had no choice but to send him off.”

“shut up!”

“How dare you bring this up!”

Whitebeard’s eyes were red as he was half submerged in the endless dark water. He barely supported himself on the ground with the naginata in his hand, and exerted force with his other hand:

“Broken Star——”

As he roared, the air began to twist as if it was torn apart, and a visible shock wave gushed out from his fist, suddenly blowing away the surrounding dark water like waves blown up by a strong wind. However, even such a blow was blocked by his single hand before it hit the former.

“It’s useless. Try it a few more times and it’ll be the same.”

“My darkness can devour and nullify the abilities of all devil fruits, even your Tremor-Tremor Fruit.”

Blackbeard smiled triumphantly and punched Whitebeard’s chest again and again, the wound that was constantly bleeding:

“It’s too ugly, Dad, you’re old!”

“Instead of embarrassing yourself here, why not let me see you off for the last time!”

As he spoke, an even denser darkness began to wrap around his arms, mixed with dark domineering energy, and smashed straight into the throat of the former.

“Dad——”

“No—”

At the critical moment, a faint blue light suddenly penetrated the surrounding noise and steadily blocked Blackbeard’s fatal blow. The broken sword pieces were miraculously reassembled under the impact of the Dark-Dark Fruit’s power, exuding an inexplicable depth and mystery.

“It seems that the lesson I taught you last time wasn’t enough, Tikki.”

Bucky held Victor in his hand with one hand, and his other hand suddenly turned black and split apart:

“Shatter into pieces, destruction cannon!”

Before he finished his words, his split black arm had already tightly grasped a handful of Maqui bullets, which rapidly expanded like a cannonball. Then, just before it was about to touch the black water surrounding Blackbeard’s body, it exploded with a loud bang!

The flames that shot up into the sky instantly illuminated the battlefield and engulfed Blackbeard entirely. The powerful shock wave caused the surrounding dark water to tremble, temporarily dispelling the despairing blackness.

“Cough…cough…”

The flames faded, and Blackbeard stumbled out of the smoke and dust, trembling, with blood slowly flowing from the corners of his mouth:

“How is it possible…my Dark Water is clearly…”

“I don’t need to explain to you…”

Bucky was about to take the opportunity to move forward and finish off the enemy, but the moment he moved, he was stopped by a pair of strong hands.

“Red-nosed brat!”

Whitebeard panted with relief:

“No matter what, don’t do it again…”

“Since this bastard was once my son, I should end his fate.”

He stood up slowly. Although his body was shaky due to his serious injuries, his eyes were extremely firm:

“Do you agree..Teach!?”

“Thief hahahahahaha——”

“Come on then, Dad!”

“Since you are determined to die, how can I refuse?”

Blackbeard laughed and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then he raised his arms and the black liquid surged out from his palms again, rushing towards the other party like a torrent.

“You are arrogant and thoughtless. That is your weakness.”

Whitebeard closed his eyes gently, and the moment he sensed the latter approaching, he suddenly pulled out the Kurogane-kiri under his feet, swung it with force, and a dazzling blade light chopped Blackbeard to the ground like lightning.

“If you have a chance to see Thatch down there, remember to ask him for me.”

“Am I qualified to be your father?!”

As he spoke, he grasped Blackbeard’s throat, and his fingers began to flash with vibrating light.

“Stop…Stop it, Dad, I’m your son!”

“Are you really going to kill me?”

The latter covered his neck and trembled all over, but when he saw the man in front of him hesitate, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

“Bang!”

When the gunshot rang out, Whitebeard’s body shook slightly.

His eyes finally became cold and firm, as if he had made the final decision at this moment. However, just as he made up his mind to kill, all the members of the Blackbeard Pirates suddenly rushed forward from the shadows.

Countless attacks poured down like a storm, and blood instantly dyed the entire ground red.

“Dad——”

“Old man!!”

The chaotic Marinford seemed to be paused at this moment. All sounds and movements were frozen, with only sporadic gunshots and low gasps echoing in the air.
