Chapter 110

* Hoo-oo-oo *

I dispersed the sphere and returned all the energy back to my body, then slowly began to walk towards Teach. It has already noticeably decreased in size and continued to decrease. When I approached him, he finally returned to his normal form. True, now he looked terrible, his entire right hand was a solid mess, and his body and face were completely bloody.

- Khaa ... Ha ... Don't ... Don't kill me ... - Teach raised his only whole hand and began to beg me in a pleading voice.

I sighed:

- Don't disgrace your name Teach, we both wear the initial "D", accept your death with dignity.

- You ... You ... Please, I'll tell you everything I know ... The secret ... Yes, I'll tell you that ... * khaa *

Before Blackbeard could finish, I chopped off his head with a light movement. I was not interested in his secrets and other nonsense, so I decided to finish everything quickly. Immediately after his head rolled back a bit, Teach's body began to tremble.

* Krrg * * crackle *

His bones cracked, and then ...

* Bach *

The body tore apart and everything around was spattered with blood and entrails. I covered myself with a barrier, so nothing hit me. In the place where Blackbeard's body had previously lay, an unusual black substance appeared, which slowly wriggled, taking on a humanoid form. When this creature was finally fully assembled, it towered a little over me and looked like a man. Only completely black and with small wings on the back. To me, they were somewhat reminiscent of those worn by the Skypieans, only this creature had more of them.

- Grrr, bastard, you can't do this ...

* Hoo hoo hoo *

The power of darkness slowly surrounded this creature and sealed us in a kind of dome.

I chuckled and said:

- It's already gone, tell me who you are.

The creature snorted contemptuously.

"Do you think it will hold me back?" Pha!

* Vshuh *

The creature suddenly just passed through the barrier of darkness, and began to run away. His speed was so fast that only Kizaru could probably keep up with him. Before I even had time to start the pursuit, it escaped.

- Damn, it's not even better ... - I sighed with displeasure and prepared to leave here.

Once it escaped, then there is nothing to be done. Probably only Yonko can develop such a speed, and I'm not sure of that. The good news is that this creature does not have much strength, otherwise it would not run away. He probably needs someone else's body to exist, it's like a spirit or a ghost ... Okay, it doesn't matter, he's got rid of Teach and it's good, now there are more important things to do.

I went down a few floors and picked up my cloak and then started flying out of Impel Down. Teach did not slow me down, I hope I can make it to the war in Marineford.

The fight came out really interesting. Blackbeard had reached the strength of an admiral, so it was not easy to withstand his attacks. Of course, he was compared with them only in physical strength and external defense, otherwise, of course, he lost to them. Without the new weapon hacks, I would probably have lost to him. But thanks to her, Teach was not an opponent for me because of his too weak body. It was only natural that Ace could not cope with him and was caught. Probably everyone who does not know how to use this kind of will would be beaten by Teach. He would certainly hurt himself by using this power often, but he would still win. So now it's clear why he always looked tired. Maintaining this creature within oneself was certainly not easy.

The fight with him came out much more difficult than with Kizaru, but not because the admiral was weaker than Teach, no, this is something else. I just tricked Borsalino and used my trump cards on him, and the completely unique power of yami yami. Taking him by surprise, I was almost able to kill Kizaru, but unfortunately I failed. If we had met again, and if he had known all my tricks, then the fight would probably have been completely different. Well, and also, I was perhaps saved by the fact that Borsalino's strength is in his speed, and not in destructive power. Although I was inferior to him in many ways, I was still able to outwit him. With Teach, I had to fight differently, since I just got a lot of growth points, if not for them, then I would most likely have escaped.

This time, pumping saved me again, and I reached a whole new level of strength. After the Battle of Marineford, I will probably have to lay low again and rebuild my strength. The guys also need to be sent somewhere, let them train themselves now. In an open world with a bunch of dangers, development should go much better than locked up on an island. This is what they need now.

Unfortunately, in the battle with Blackbeard, I was unable to test the new will of observation, as I was focused on weapons and invisible armor. It looks like we'll have to test this power in Marineford. Well, there will surely be good opponents for that.

A few minutes later I saw my ships in the distance and instantly moved there.

* Vshuuh *

North and Sargon were there, talking about something, but my appearance distracted them slightly.

- Ha, cap, how is Teach? North asked cheerfully.

- Dead body. - I answered calmly, stroking the ginger cat.

- Murr ...

Sargon was surprised and said:

"Ho ho, captain, he really likes you.

I chuckled:

- Why, he is now part of the team, how can he not like the captain? - I looked around and asked: - By the way, where are the others?

North replied:

Zoro is slumbering as usual, and Sanji is preparing a feast in honor of the new team member. The girls are doing something of their own, which I don't know for sure, but I don't want to ask something ... Well, I'm showing the ship to Sargon.

The old man nodded.

- Yes, the ship is good, moreover, the one who made it was a real master, and such, even in my time, were rare. Lucky you...

North chuckled.

- You wanted to tell us?

- Exactly, to us. - The old man smiled.

- Hey! The food is ready, you will be there for a long time ... Oh! Mor, are you back? How is Teach? Sanji suddenly appeared and noticed me.

I nodded.

- Everything is all right, Blackbeard is dead, as are his henchmen, but for now let's celebrate, now we finally have a carpenter!

After that, we threw a feast and celebrated the appearance of a new teammate in the team. Now we had a carpenter, it remains to find only a musician and a helmsman, then there will be a complete set.

I tried not to get too drunk, as the fight is coming soon. Now there was no time for fun, but Zoro and North did not stop it, and after an hour they were none.

When it was finally over, morning came and many went to bed, while I stayed on deck to wait for the battle to begin. Sitting on the bow of the ship, I felt an invisible tension in the air, I'm sure a lot of blood will be spilled very soon ...
