One Piece: Almost Exposed That I Am Stronger Than Roger - Chapter 239
Chapter 239: The Blackbeard Pirates Attack
When Whitebeard was on the verge of death, he suddenly surged with power, clenching his fist and unleashing a final shockwave using his Devil Fruit abilities. However, for Solo at this moment, even Whitebeard’s enraged power was nothing.
Watching the majestic energy wave approach, Solo stood firm and planted his feet firmly on the ground. With one hand, he raised Ry?jin Jakka and placed it against his chest.
Rumble!
A loud explosion erupted in front of Solo. The tremendous force pushed his body and caused him to slide back.
“But…”
But soon, Solo pressed down with his wrist and swung his sword, forcibly breaking through the shockwave in front of him. The force dispersed from both sides of his body. Solo remained unharmed.
“However, Whitebeard is truly incredible. Even after I beheaded him, he can still release such terrifying power. It’s astonishing.”
Solo cleared his throat and muttered to himself.
The entire battlefield was witnessing an unprecedented turn of events.
“It won’t be long before the Whitebeard Pirates are completely wiped out by the Marines.”
Solo surveyed his surroundings. It was evident to anyone that the Whitebeard Pirate Group had met its end.
“Speaking of which, I might be the person closest to Whitebeard.”
Although Whitebeard’s power had pushed Solo, causing him to slide several meters, he was still the Marine closest to Whitebeard’s body. He was also one of the few individuals possessing a Devil Fruit. After all, Solo was a transmigrator.
In the original world, he had witnessed the events of “One Piece.” He had a clearer understanding of Devil Fruits and their mechanics than most people in this world.
He knew that when a Devil Fruit user died, their powers would be transferred to the nearest fruit, turning it into a new Devil Fruit.
Doflamingo had likely obtained the Mera Mera no Mi using this method. Similarly, Solo closely observed Doflamingo’s every move with his Observation Haki.
When the time came, Solo was prepared to fight Doflamingo if necessary. However, luck seemed to be on Solo’s side. When he took out the fruit he had prepared in advance from his pocket, he was surprised to find that its appearance had undergone a drastic change.
The ordinary fruit had transformed into a Devil Fruit!
And it was none other than the Gura Gura no Mi, known as the strongest Paramecia. There was no doubt that the fruit held by Solo was the most valuable treasure in the entire war at Marineford.
When Solo revealed the Gura Gura no Mi, countless pairs of eyes locked onto him. The entirety of Marineford was engulfed in an unprecedented sensation.
Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, had a direct change in expression. As an underground broker in the New World and a descendant of the Celestial Dragons, Doflamingo was privy to many unknown secrets.
He knew that when a Devil Fruit user died, their abilities would be transferred to other fruits, becoming new Devil Fruits. That was a secret he was aware of. At the same time, Doflamingo had also prepared some fruits for this war.
“That Marine boy, how does he know about such things?” Doflamingo frowned.
He had been ecstatic upon witnessing Whitebeard’s death, even prepared to claim the strongest Paramecia fruit as his own.
But who could have known that Solo, this guy, had beaten him to it? He obtained the Gura Gura no Mi!
“No one brings fruit to the battlefield unless they have another purpose.”
If it were any other Marine, Doflamingo would have rushed to seize the Gura Gura no Mi. After all, as a Celestial Dragon, he would not face punishment. Being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was just a title to him.
He had his own ways of maintaining his identity and status. But when Doflamingo considered Solo, who defeated Vista, Mihawk, Jimbei, and even a strong man like Whitebeard, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
If possible, he would prefer not to become an enemy of a Marine like Solo. However, Doflamingo’s eyes narrowed slightly. The allure of the Gura Gura no Mi was simply too great for him to resist.
“Damn it.”
After some hesitation, Doflamingo took a deep breath and made up his mind. He couldn’t allow a Marine like Solo to possess the strongest Paramecia fruit.
“It seems I have no choice but to take action here.”
Doflamingo waved his hand, condensing countless thin threads as he attempted to snatch the most valuable treasure from Solo’s grasp. Just as Doflamingo was about to make his move, a massive figure cast a shadow over Marineford’s plaza.
Following that, maniacal laughter echoed through the air, capturing the attention of countless onlookers. Behind Marine Headquarters, an enormous figure suddenly appeared.
Standing in the sea near Marineford, only the upper half of his body was visible, dwarfing even the main building of Marine Headquarters.
“How is this possible…”
Sengoku, overseeing the overall situation and pursuing the Whitebeard Pirates, exclaimed in shock when he noticed the unexpected visitor. It was Sanjuan Wolf, once infamous, he was the man whom the World Government sought to erase from history.
Simultaneously, he was also a prisoner held on Level 6 of the Great Undersea Prison, Impel Down.
Why…Why would he appear here?
“What’s going on?!”
Sengoku’s eyes widened as confusion clouded his face. Did that massive giant escape from Impel Down when Luffy and the others fled?
According to common sense, when criminals escape from prison, their main objective is to flee, not to appear at Marine Headquarters.
“Hold on…”
Soon, Sengoku realized that it wasn’t just the massive battleship that had shown up. Apart from him—Basil Hawkins, the Crescent Moon Hunter, Catarina Devon, the Heavy Drinker, Vasco Shot, and the former Impel Down guard, Shiryu of the Rain.
Each one of them was an incredibly dangerous criminal from Impel Down.
The reappearance of any one of them in the world would herald a significant crisis, causing fear among countless civilians.
However, they were merely a few of the uninvited guests who had abruptly intruded upon Marine Headquarters.
Jesus Burgess, Avalo Pizarro, Doc Q, Lafitte, Van Augur.
And the man who filled the vacant position among the Seven Warlords of the Sea after Ace’s capture:
Marshall D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard.
