Blackbeard vs Former Whitebeard Pirates

Whitebeard's hometown - Sphinx

Whitebeard's hometown is Sphinx, and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates are stationed there, guarding it.

"Captain Marco, look at today's newspaper!"

One of the members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at the newspaper and immediately found the actual person in charge, Marco the Phoenix.

Marco is currently the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates since the captain of the second division, Fire Fist Ace, died, the captain of the third division, Diamond Jozu, was disabled, and the captain of the fourth division, Thatch, died. No one in the Whitebeard Pirates can compare to him in terms of qualifications and prestige.

"What newspaper?"

Marco murmured suspiciously, took the newspaper handed over by his subordinate, and couldn't help but change his expression when he saw the content.

"Marine traitor - Ethan, with a bounty of 2 billion belly!"

"He possesses a big secret - Shock Fruit ability, Float Fruit ability, and the legendary swordsmanship of Roger."

"This person is extremely dangerous, and has a combat power comparable to that of the Four Emperors. Regardless of life or death, he can be used to exchange bounties with the World Government."

"The World Government is kidding?"

"No, that's not right!"

"Do the World Government and the Marines not respect the bounty system? Are these claims all true?"

"Dad's Shock Fruit ability was obviously stolen by Teach guy with despicable means, how could it appear to others?"

"And if all of this is true, wouldn't there be a second person in the world with the ability to consume two Devil Fruits?"

Marco's face changed, and his emotions fluctuated.

Meanwhile, in a sea area not far from Sphinx Island, a fleet with a three-headed skull pirate flag was heading towards Sphinx Island.

The ships of this fleet were peculiar, appearing as if they were rafts made of huge pieces of wood, a result of Blackbeard's unique aesthetic.

Shiryu of the Rain wiped the famous sword Thunderstorm in his hand and said casually, "Captain Teach, have you read the latest newspaper? If this news is true, there will be a second person with the Shock Fruit ability in the world, capable of holding two Devil Fruits at once. Incredible!"

Avalo Pizarro on the side laughed and said, "I remember that there was a period of time between when Whitebeard died and when Teach took his Shock Fruit ability? Could it be that Shock Fruit's ability was lost during that time and reappeared as a new Devil Fruit?"

Vasco Shot smiled drunkenly and said, "If that's the case, it can explain why you have been unable to develop the ability of Shock Fruit to an awakened state."

Blackbeard laughed and said, "Jehahaha! If that's true, that would be great. As long as I kill this Marine traitor Ethan and take away his Shock Fruit ability, I can develop my Shock Fruit ability to an awakened state."

The fighting champion Burgess laughed and said, "Weihahaha! Captain Teach, this Marine traitor is not easy to deal with! The World Government has stated on the reward order that he possesses strength no less than that of a Pirate Emperor."

The sniper, Van Augur, heard the words and said with a look of disdain, "That Marine traitor has the strength comparable to that of a Pirate Emperor? Who knows if the World Government has told the truth! If the strength of a Pirate Emperor were that easy to obtain, the seas would be overrun with them."

Burgess retorted, "But this Marine traitor Ethan is different. He has the Devil Fruit ability of both Whitebeard and Golden Lion, and the swordsmanship of Pirate King Roger. If he doesn't have the strength of the Four Emperors, I don't know who does. How else could he escape from Naval Headquarters?"

Blackbeard Teach waved his hands and said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing! What if he really has the strength of the Four Emperors? He is just one person. And I have powerful and reliable partners like you."

Hearing the words, Avalo Pizarro laughed and said, "You can really talk nice, Teach!"

Vasco Shot also laughed directly, "That's right, so many of us are still afraid of a single-handed Four Emperors? Whitebeard is still the strongest man in the world. Isn't it the same that we killed him together?"

Burgess laughed, "That's right! If we think about it, this Marine traitor Ethan is a treasure for us! He not only has the Shock Fruit ability that Captain Teach needs, but also the legendary pirate Golden Lion's Float Fruit ability."

Van Augur pondered, "Is the Float Fruit ability capable? I can use it to hover in mid-air and snipe from various angles. Remotely control the objects I have touched, it feels like a perfect match for me."

Burgess said unhappily, "Van Augur, Devil Fruit's ability depends on strength. What's the use of being as good as you? Whoever gets it can eat it!"

Van Augur gave Burgess an cold glance, too lazy to talk nonsense with him,as not to lower his IQ.

Ethan's body was hidden in the clouds high in the sky, silently watching the Blackbeard fleet below.

In the chat group:

Ethan: "Have you seen the fleet below? That is the fleet of the Blackbeard Pirates. Tsk tsk tsk, Blackbeard's aesthetic is still so strange."

Whitebeard: "Teach, this guy isn't really a fuel-efficient lamp. It's been a while since he assembled such a huge fleet."

Ethan: "No way! After acquiring the Shock Fruit ability, Blackbeard already has combat power no less than that of a Pirate Emperor. Coupled with his familiarity with your territory, he has occupied most of your former territory. If he defeats the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, he will be the rightful Pirate Emperor."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Ethan, what are you waiting for? Go up and take him down! This is the sea, your home ground. Whether it's Shock Fruit ability or Float Fruit ability, you can easily cause a tsunami and destroy them with ease."

Golden Lion Shiki couldn't contain his impatience and urged Ethan to act immediately.

However, Whitebeard had a different idea.

Whitebeard: "Wait! Let my sons handle it first. I want to see how they perform."

Ethan: "No problem!"

Since Whitebeard wanted to test the abilities of his sons, Ethan was more than happy to oblige.

The Blackbeard Pirates' massive fleet sailed towards Sphinx Island and soon caught the attention of the Whitebeard Pirates. Phoenix Marco led the Whitebeard Pirates to the island's edge to confront the enemy.

"Jehahahaha! This is a matter between me and the Whitebeard Pirates, don't interfere. I'll handle it myself, let me finish them off."

Blackbeard laughed and gave orders to his subordinates, then charged at Marco, who was leading the Whitebeard Pirates.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Ethan, what are you waiting for? Go up and smoke him! This is the sea, your home ground. Whether it's the Shock Fruit ability or the Float Fruit ability, it can easily cause a tsunami, and you can destroy them casually."

Golden Lion Shiki couldn't bear his temper and urged Ethan to act immediately. Whitebeard, however, disagreed.

Whitebeard: "Wait! Let my sons play with them first; I want to see how good they are."

As a father, Whitebeard was very conflicted. On the one hand, he thought that his sons were very good and omnipotent; on the other hand, he thought that they were still children and could do nothing. So he asked Ethan to help and gave the Whitebeard Pirates a chance to solve the problem by themselves.

Ethan: "No problem!"

Since Whitebeard wanted to see how vulnerable his sons were, Ethan was happy to help him. The Blackbeard Pirates' large fleet marched into Sphinx, which soon caught the attention of the Whitebeard Pirates. Phoenix Marco led the Whitebeard Pirates to the edge of the island to face the Blackbeard Pirates.

"Jehahahaha! This is a matter between me and the Whitebeard Pirates; don't interfere. I'll do it myself. Let me break away from them," Blackbeard laughed and ordered his subordinates, then charged at the Marco man in the lead.

Black hole! Air shock!

Blackbeard's left hand poured out a large black fog, covering the ground and spreading towards the Marco people. The black fog exuded a strange attraction, swallowing the objects on the ground, and many of the soldiers of the Whitebeard Pirates were swallowed.

On the other hand, a white halo appeared on Blackbeard's right hand. A punch hit the air in front of him. The force of vibration caused the air to shatter like a mirror. All former White beard pirate who were charging towards Blackbeard were repelled by Blackbeard's shocking power on the way, and were then restricted by the swamp-like darkness on the ground. In the distance, Ethan shook his head repeatedly watching this scene.

In the chat group, Golden Lion Shiki mocked Whitebeard unceremoniously.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Whitebeard, are these the sons you are proud of? Too weak, no wonder they willingly put down their pride and become your sons."

Whitebeard: "Shut up, you know nothing! It's not that they're too weak, it's that Teach with the Shock Fruit ability is too strong!"

Whitebeard defended his sons, refusing to admit they were trash.

Pirate King Roger: "That's right! Have you seen it? Blackbeard Teach, who has become a dual-fruit ability, combines the two abilities very well."

"Dark Fruit's ability covers the ground, and all those who stand on it will be suppressed and weakened. Even the strong ones like Bista and Margao will remain unchanged and clumsy when they stand on the black mist."

"People who will be suppressed by standing on the black fog will choose to jump attack when facing Blackbeard Teach, or fly like Marco. But in this way, they will suffer the blow of Shock Fruit ability."

"People in mid-air don't have any leverage. Unlike standing on the ground, they can't feedback pressure to the ground. They can only be repelled when attacked. Of course, standing on the ground is useless. The ground has been turned into a swamp by the Dark Fruit's ability."

Roger rarely takes things seriously, but he analyzed Blackbeard Teach's strength with focus. Despite being a nerdy idiot, Roger had been through countless battles to become King of the Pirates, and had a natural and strong sense of battle. He could almost instantly perceive Blackbeard's tactics.

Golden Lion Shiki said, "It's really a good tactic, very strong! It's a pity…"

Ethan replied, "Yeah, it's a pity…"

Fire Fist Ace asked, "What do you regret?"

Golden Lion Shiki triumphantly replied, "Unfortunately, this move is useless for those with the Float Fruit ability. We can use the force in the air, and in mid-air, it is like being on the ground, Jehahahaha!"
