Chapter 107 Durant’s Intervention (Ch 107)

Marco and others looked at Rain Shiryu with confusion, their hearts full of questions, as if they were shrouded in a fog that made them confused.
They couldn’t understand why Durant’s men suddenly appeared here, let alone what their purpose was. It was like groping in the dark, unable to find a ray of light.
Katakuri fell into deep thought, his thoughts surging like the tide, and he began to think about the response strategy after Durant’s Death Pirates intervened. After all, this sudden change completely disrupted their plans, just like a carefully built castle collapsed in an instant.
For Katakuri, the most urgent task is to ensure the safety of his younger brothers and sisters. As for other things, he doesn’t care at the moment, as if his younger brothers and sisters are the only ones in his eyes, and everything else becomes unimportant.
However, as the situation is still unclear, Katakuri decided not to clash with the Death Pirates for the time being, because doing so would not benefit them and might make the situation more complicated. He is like a cautious hunter, waiting for the best time to give the enemy a fatal blow.
At the same time, Blackbeard Teach’s face became extremely gloomy, as if covered by a dark cloud. The appearance of Rain Shiryu made him very annoyed. The originally planned siege operation against the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates has now become an unknown, like a broken dream, which made him unable to let go.
Blackbeard Teach couldn’t help but begin to doubt whether he still had a chance to eliminate these remnants. He was filled with uneasiness, as if he had lost his direction.
In addition, Blackbeard Teach was still thinking about whether to retreat. He was not sure whether Durant was nearby. If Durant personally took action, the consequences would be disastrous.
Faced with such a powerful enemy, Blackbeard Teach had to act with caution. He was like a ship swaying in a storm and could be overturned at any time.
Blackbeard Teach was thinking in his heart that since Durant wanted to intervene forcibly, he should choose to retreat.
After all, if you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood. There will always be more opportunities in the future. He doesn’t want to suffer losses here, otherwise it will not be worth it.
Thinking of this, Blackbeard Teach smiled and said loudly: “Haha~ Rain of Shiliu, no matter what purpose your captain Durant has, I will not get involved.” Then, he turned around and shouted to the crew behind him: “Guys, let’s retreat!”
Hearing what Blackbeard Teach said, Katakuri immediately glared at him fiercely and asked, “Blackbeard, are you planning to break the contract?” However, Blackbeard Teach replied nonchalantly, “Thief haha~ The situation has changed.” For him, this kind of thing doesn’t matter at all.
Just when Diamond Joz and the others were about to stop Blackbeard Teach, Marco stopped them. He thought that the situation was not clear yet and it was not appropriate to act rashly.
At this time, Xiliu of the Rain said coldly: “Blackbeard, others can leave, but you can’t. Because you are the one Captain Durant specifically told to leave!”
Hearing this, Blackbeard Teach’s face instantly became extremely gloomy, and his fists were clenched as if they were about to explode at any time.
However, he finally restrained his impulse, took a deep breath, and loudly questioned Yu Zhi Xi Liu: “Hey, tell me, what is Durant’s purpose?”
Xilu of the Rain smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: “This is not something you should know, Blackbeard. You only need to know that Captain Durant has ordered me not to let you escape. As for the reason, you can only know it when you meet Captain Durant himself.” After that, he waved his hand, signaling the other pirates behind him to leave here quickly.
Blackbeard Teach secretly complained in his heart. He did not expect to encounter such a troublesome situation. Faced with the current situation, he had to reconsider his situation and coping strategy.
At this tense moment, a pirate ship slowly floated down from the sky like a fallen leaf. Everyone recognized it as the pirate ship of the Death Pirates, and the person standing on the bow was Durant! His appearance made the whole atmosphere even more solemn, as if the solidified air could be cut open.
Katakuri stared at Durant closely, secretly wondering what the intentions of this man who shone so brilliantly in the Battle of Marineford were.
Flower Sword Bista asked Marco: “Marco, what should we do now? Durant seems to have set his sights on Blackbeard Teach.”
Marco gave the order without hesitation: “Let’s go!” Because he knew that the next development was unpredictable and he couldn’t let his brothers fall into danger again. Moreover, he didn’t want to see his brothers take risks again. After all, they had lost too much in the war at the top.
However, Blackbeard Teach was not willing to be outdone. He stared at Durant sharply and asked loudly: “Can you tell me why you are targeting me, Durant?”
His voice was full of anger and confusion, as if he wanted to express his dissatisfaction to Durant in this way and try to find the answer.
However, Durant would not easily tell Blackbeard Teach his true purpose. He knew that Blackbeard Teach had great power and unique abilities, but he did not intend to reveal this to his opponent.
Instead, he deliberately teased, “Blackbeard Teach, you asked me why I targeted you. Well, I’ll tell you, the reason is actually very simple – I just don’t like you. Is this reason enough?”
Hearing Durant’s answer, Blackbeard Teach finally couldn’t help it. He widened his eyes and gnashed his teeth and cursed: “Asshole!” He was extremely angry at Durant’s contempt and felt that he was fooled. After all, such a reason was too absurd for him to accept.
However, Blackbeard Teach did not give up. He laughed sinisterly, revealed a ferocious expression, and said, “Thief haha~ In this case, let’s have a life-and-death battle!” He decided not to retreat, but to confront Durant head-on and show his strength and courage.
For Blackbeard Teach, this battle is not only to prove his own worth, but also to defend his dignity.
He could not tolerate being looked down upon by others, especially by a strong man like Durant. Therefore, he was determined to go all out, show his strongest strength, and start a fierce duel with Durant.
As Marco led the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates to evacuate, the tense atmosphere eased a little.
However, Katakuri did not evacuate with his men, which made the atmosphere at the scene become subtle again.
Durant’s gaze slowly swept over Katakuri, his eyes flashing with sharp light, like two sharp swords.
Officers such as Rain Shiryu, Hawkins, Avalo Pizarro, Catherine Depen, Basque Chote, and San Juan Wolf immediately understood what he meant and locked their eyes on Katakuri and others, like a group of hungry wolves staring at their prey.
A member of the Charlotte family whispered, “Brother Katakuri, should we evacuate?”
Katakuri was silent for a moment, then ordered: “Evacuate!”
In fact, he knew in his heart that it was meaningless to fight Durant to the death, after all, there was no conflict of interest between the two parties. Therefore, there was no need to make the relationship awkward, but some things still needed to be made clear.
Katakuri looked directly at Durant and said firmly, “Durant, I don’t care what you want from Blackbeard, but we want two-thirds of the Whitebeard Pirates’ territory. There is no room for negotiation on this.”
“Pirates speak with strength. Don’t tell me you don’t understand this, Katakuri.” Durant asked back slowly. His tone was full of sarcasm and provocation, like a burning flame, making Katakuri’s face gloomy.
Katakuri did not respond directly to Durant, but chose a wiser approach – he quietly left the place with his brothers and sisters and a group of his men. For a moment, the entire scene was left with only members of Durant’s Death Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates, as if a balloon had been emptied, and it instantly became deserted.
Although Blackbeard Teach was confident in his own strength, he was clearly aware that his members were obviously at a disadvantage compared to Durant. Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided not to conflict with Durant easily, and like a cunning fox, he quietly hid his claws.
However, what puzzled Blackbeard Teach was that the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Boa Hancock, appeared on Durant’s ship. This made him start to think about the reason, and his heart was full of doubts, as if he was shrouded in a fog.
At this moment, Blackbeard Teach suddenly laughed evilly. He stared at Durant and said, “Haha~ Durant, you should also be a Devil Fruit user, right? But do you know that the Dark-Dark Fruit I possess is the nemesis of Devil Fruit users!”
Hearing this, Durant showed disdain. He responded indifferently: “The Dark-Dark Fruit is just an outlier in the natural system.”
Blackbeard Teach was also stunned when he heard Durant’s disdainful words, and thought to himself, how could Durant be so confident? Is he really not afraid of my Dark-Dark Fruit ability?
However, Blackbeard Teach has absolute confidence in the ability of his Dark-Dark Fruit and firmly believes that no one can easily crack its secret.
Blackbeard Teach looked at Durant coldly, thinking that this guy must be pretending to be calm in order to scare me. But I will not be fooled by his little tricks, my Dark Dark Fruit ability is invincible!
Durant saw through Blackbeard Teach’s thoughts, and said with a sarcastic smile on his face: “Blackbeard, do you think your Dark Dark Fruit ability can restrain me? That’s ridiculous!” After saying that, his eyes flashed with confidence and determination.
Blackbeard Teach’s face turned gloomy. He clenched his teeth and vowed to let Durant see the power of his Dark-Dark Fruit. At this moment, Durant suddenly released a powerful aura, and the domineering aura instantly spread.
This domineering aura swept over like a gust of wind, and Blackbeard Teach felt unprecedented pressure. His body trembled involuntarily, and his heart was filled with fear and anxiety.
He stared at Durant in disbelief with his eyes wide open, cursing in his heart: “Damn it, this domineering aura is so powerful!”
Blackbeard Teach knew that what he feared most was encountering a domineering user, because their power could restrain his Dark-Dark Fruit ability. But now, facing Durant’s powerful domineering domineering, he felt that he was in a passive position.
At this moment, Boa Hancock stepped forward and volunteered, “Durant, let me take care of Blackbeard’s men.” After saying that, she threw a wink at Durant.
Durant nodded and responded, “Yes! You guys go too.” He pointed at the people behind him and motioned for them to go together.
Boa Hancock originally planned to go alone, but now that Durant said so, she didn’t say anything. After all, Durant was the most important person in her mind, so as long as Durant said something, she would agree without hesitation.
“Tsk!” Blackbeard Teach immediately ordered his men: “You guys, just hold on as best you can and don’t lose your lives. I will force Durant to retreat as soon as possible.” After saying that, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
In fact, there is one more thing that Blackbeard Teach did not say, which is that once you seize the opportunity, you must evacuate immediately.
After all, their number was far less than the other side, and the other side was not weak either. If they continued to fight, he would be the one who suffered the most losses in the end. Blackbeard Teach would not do such a loss-making business.
However, what Blackbeard Teach didn’t know was that Durant had already guessed all his little thoughts. After all, Durant was also a battle-hardened warrior, and he knew a lot about people like Blackbeard Teach.
Therefore, when Blackbeard Teach proposed to challenge him, Durant had already guessed his intention. However, Durant did not expose him, but chose to cooperate with him. Because he knew that only in this way could Blackbeard Teach relax his vigilance and find a better opportunity to counterattack.
Being looked down upon by Durant had already made Blackbeard Teach furious. He raised his hand and used the Dark-Dark Fruit ability – “Dark Water” on Durant! He firmly believed that his Dark-Dark Fruit ability could restrain all Devil Fruit users, which was also his confidence.
However, the next moment Blackbeard Teach was completely stunned, because his Dark Dark Fruit ability had no effect on Durant! At this moment, countless questions surged in Blackbeard Teach’s mind, and he couldn’t figure out what was going on.
He tried to use the Dark Water again, but the result was the same. He muttered to himself in fear, “Why doesn’t my Dark-Dark Fruit ability work anymore? Could it be that this guy is not a Devil Fruit user?
Or does he have some special power that makes him immune to my Dark-Dark Fruit ability? No, that’s impossible. I’m Blackbeard Teach. My Dark-Dark Fruit ability is invincible. This will never happen!
Something must have gone wrong, I must find the reason, otherwise I might be in big trouble today! “Thinking of this, Blackbeard Teach’s forehead couldn’t help but break out in a layer of sweat, and the fear in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Durant is obviously a devil fruit user, but his Dark-Dark Fruit ability doesn’t work, which makes Blackbeard Teach very confused and shocked.
He began to think about the possible reasons for this situation, and finally came to only one conclusion – the problem lies with Durant. In other words, although Durant does have the power of a devil fruit, he does not seem to be afraid of Blackbeard Teach’s Dark Dark Fruit ability.
This discovery made Blackbeard Teach feel extremely surprised and uneasy, because he had always thought that his Dark-Dark Fruit ability was invincible and could restrain all other Devil Fruit users.
However, it now turns out that his Dark-Dark Fruit ability is useless against Durant.
Blackbeard Teach was filled with doubts and fear. He couldn’t help but ask loudly, “Durant, why aren’t you afraid of my Dark-Dark Fruit ability?”
Facing Blackbeard Teach’s questioning, Durant showed a mocking smile on his face. He replied coldly: “What? Are you scared because the Dark-Dark Fruit ability doesn’t work? Come on! Use your Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability and show me how powerful it is.”
Hearing Durant’s words, Blackbeard Teach felt angry. He decided not to hesitate any longer and immediately used the ability of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
He clenched his fist tightly, gathering the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit into a powerful energy ball. Then, he swung it vigorously and smashed the energy ball towards Durant.
In an instant, a powerful shock wave burst out from Blackbeard Teach’s fist and rushed towards Durant with amazing power. The air was torn apart, making a harsh sound, as if the entire space was shaking.
Facing the attack of Blackbeard Teach, Durant was not afraid at all. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer. He quickly waved the two swords in his hands and displayed a series of gorgeous sword skills.
In an instant, countless flying slashes burst out from his blade, heading towards Blackbeard Teach’s vibrating shock wave like a violent storm.
