One Piece: Almost Exposed That I Am Stronger Than Roger - Chapter 244
Chapter 244: Annihilating the Blackbeard Pirates
“Shave!”
Upon witnessing the Blackbeard Pirates taking action, Sengoku decisively unleashed his Rokushiki technique and swiftly appeared in front of them.
Although Blackbeard traded Ace to fill the vacancy among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, once he freed the Level 6 prisoners from Impel Down, he forfeited his position as one of the Warlords. As the Fleet Admiral, there was no room for mercy!
“You damned lot. Don’t even think of obstructing!”
Sengoku suddenly bellowed, his body visibly swelling and hardening.
A dazzling golden light erupted from him, transforming him back into the form of the Golden Buddha. Witnessing this spectacle, the members of the Blackbeard Pirate crew couldn’t help but change their expressions.
Even the criminal who had escaped from Impel Down paled at that moment.
Despite being known as the “Sengoku the Buddha” and “Wise General,” Sengoku was no less formidable than anyone present. During his youth, he had clashed victoriously with the Whitebeard Pirates.
“Go to hell!”
Sengoku’s five fingers clenched together and decisively struck the Blackbeard Pirates before him. A white shockwave instantly engulfed everyone, flooding their bodies with majestic power.
Pouch!
Every member of the Blackbeard Pirate crew grimaced, spurting blood on the spot. These despicable individuals were halted by Sengoku. Not only that, all of them sustained varying degrees of injuries.
Never mind supporting Blackbeard, they were now faced with their own embarrassing and pitiful situation. Meanwhile, the members of the fleeing Whitebeard Pirates felt their hearts grow warmer upon witnessing this scene.
If it weren’t for Blackbeard, Ace would have never fallen into the hands of the Marines. They wouldn’t have needed to wage the war atop Marineford.
Their comrades wouldn’t have perished in such tragic numbers. Father wouldn’t have made the ultimate sacrifice. Blackbeard was the true culprit.
Although they also harbored disdain for Suo Luo, who had slain Whitebeard, if Blackbeard could meet his end here. For them, it would truly be a blessing.
The Marines marveled at Sengoku’s strength. While they knew that a man who held the position of Fleet Admiral couldn’t rely solely on his intellect, witnessing his power firsthand still left them astonished.
Facing an adversary of the Level 6 prisoners’ caliber, Sengoku overwhelmed everyone with his overwhelming might.
“Truly deserving of the title ‘Fleet Admiral Sengoku,’ possessing such formidable power!”
“It’s their own fault; the Blackbeard Pirates were overly confident, thinking they had a chance in this war!”
“Go to hell, you pirates!”
The Marines’ morale soared once again.
On the other side, Solo pressed Blackbeard to the ground, holding a crushing advantage. No matter how Blackbeard struggled, he couldn’t break free from Solo’s grip.
His eyes gradually filled with fear. He never could have imagined that, in his final moments, a Marine Colonel would possess such terrifying power.
Although Blackbeard possessed the Dark Dark Fruit and had dedicated years to physical training, his body differed from that of ordinary individuals, eliminating the need for sleep.
Blackbeard spent more time exercising than anyone else. He could easily overpower Ace in physical combat. In his youth, he even left scars on the face of the Red-Haired Shanks.
However, his physical prowess was utterly useless in this predicament. Solo was akin to an immovable mountain, firmly pressing down on him.
“Stop! Enough!”
Blackbeard hoped that the other members of the Blackbeard Pirates could force Solo back. However, all their attempts were effortlessly thwarted by Sengoku. Now he found himself isolated and helpless.
Unprecedented fear coursed through his body.
“I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a pirate acknowledged by the World Government. Even the Marines can’t lay a finger on me!”
In a panic, Blackbeard invoked his status as a Warlord, his tone filled with anxiety as he pleaded with Solo. He hoped that Suolo would consider the World Government’s reputation and spare him.
Pathetic!
However, Solo was not Whitebeard. He owed Blackbeard nothing. How could he, in this moment, soften his heart and let Blackbeard escape?
Solo met Blackbeard’s horrified gaze head-on. His Devil Fruit ability, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, had reached its zenith.
He didn’t need any further development. By imitating Whitebeard’s actions, he could unleash the full might of this fruit. Moreover, Solo possessed physical strength far superior to the weakened Whitebeard.
Despite engaging in one fierce battle after another, he still had ample physical stamina. He could fully control this ability.
Solo had been prepared for Blackbeard’s Dark Dark Fruit power from the very beginning. Hence, from every standpoint, Solo had no reason to spare Blackbeard.
“When you decided to venture to Impel Down and release those prisoners. You ceased to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!”
Solo proclaimed, his gaze fixed on Blackbeard’s vulnerable face, as he delivered a devastating blow. In an instant, Solo heard a series of cracks, as the air in front of him ruptured in various sizes.
Blackbeard tensed, sensing the impending danger. However, he couldn’t activate his Dark Dark Fruit ability; all he could do was coat his face in Armament Haki, fortifying his defenses.
But even so, this level of defense remained feeble against Solo. Soon after, the protective dome shattered completely, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that crushed Blackbeard into the ground of the central square.
His internal organs suffered a severe impact. A heartrending sensation washed over him.
Pouch!
Blood seeped from Blackbeard’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. In that instant, every organ in his body was pulverized! Even the mightiest Armament Haki proved futile.
Blackbeard never even had a chance to utter his desired words. In his vision, he witnessed darkness descending! His consciousness grew hazy. Soon, it vanished.
In the future, he would be known as one of the Four Emperors—Blackbeard.
That was all—vanquished by a single punch from Solo. Staring at the lifeless body before him, Solo felt no emotional fluctuations in his heart.
He took a deep breath, straightened himself, and turned to face the remaining members of the Blackbeard Pirate crew. Not one of them shall be spared.
“The Blackbeard Pirates, running to Marineford was your greatest mistake!”
Solo’s voice resonated with power.
