240 Blackbeard crew strength

"Van Augur on the Blackbeard Pirate Ship is highly dangerous. His sharpshooting skills are formidable, and we need to counter him with speed"

This is Whitebeard's analysis of the crew of Blackbeard Pirates when preparing to deal with them.

Therefore, Charles Vane is acutely aware of the threats posed by Van Augur, and his Wind-Wind Fruit ability should be the most effective against him.

Without someone to counter Van Augur, his sharpshooting skills could inflict significant damage on Marco and the rest of the crew.

"Hmph, he's coming at me," 

Van Augur smiled faintly, showing no signs of fear.

After locking his target, Charles Vane transformed into a whirlwind, swiftly charging toward Van Augur.

Just as he was about to approach Van Augur, a huge body appeared in front of Charles Vane.

Without any defense, that huge body just allowed Charles Vane to attack him.

Charles Vane felt like he had struck a massive rubber wall and instantly bounced back.

"This is..." Charles Vane gazed at the massive figure in front of him, utterly dumbfounded.

"Hey, Wolf, why are you here? Are you underestimating my skills?" 

Van Augur questioned the person who intervened to block the attack for him.

"Commander, that's the San Juan Wolf, known as a colossal battleship, he is extremely powerful" 

A crew member reminded Charles Vane at that moment.

"This is also bad," Charles Vane suddenly exclaimed.

The San Juan Wolf has a colossal body resembling an island. With such huge size, its physical strength is also extraordinary.

Just moments ago, Charles Vane's attack couldn't penetrate its defenses, and now such a colossal object stood in front of Van Augur.

This puts Charles Vane in a bit of a tight spot. He knows he can't handle this big guy quickly, and if he gets entangled down here.

Then Van Augur behind him would surely launch an attack, and Charles Vane feared his situation would worsen.

"Other commanders, keep him occupied for me!" 

Charles Vane promptly instructed the others.

The remaining commanders have already sprung into action, but the Blackbeard Pirates still have Laffitte, Catarina Devon, and Doc Q.

The strength of these three people is not weak, and they cooperated with the many crew member on the boat, fighting fiercely with the remaining captain of the Whitebeard Pirate Group.

At the same time, three commanders from the Whitebeard Pirate, Rakuyo, Atmos and Blenheim came to help Charles Vane contain the San Juan evil wolves.

"Don't engage in a direct fight, just keep him occupied" 

Charles Vane reminded them, then transformed into a whirlwind and attacked Van Augur.

"Try this attack."

Confronting Charles Vane's assault, Van Augur quickly fired a shot, hitting Charles Vane directly. Even with a Logia Fruit, he still felt the pain.

"Damn it, is there a sniper with such incredible speed?" 

Charles Vane had to halt his attack, feeling taken aback.

Additionally, Charles Vane maneuvered swiftly through the air. Despite this, Van Augur was able to calmly and accurately land hits, showcasing his extraordinary sniper ability.

"You know how skilled I am" 

Van Augur smiled triumphantly. He had also landed hits on Ace when facing Fire Fist Ace in the past.

"Huh, there really are all sorts of captains and crews. Pops was right. You all have the problem of being too arrogant" 

Confronting Van Augur's triumphant expression, Charles Vane immediately scoffed.

However, as he said those words, Charles Vane also started to be cautious. If he got hit by Van Augur a few more times, the battle could be over for him

Thus, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates engaged in a fierce battle, causing the island to tremble.

…..

On the coast, Whitebeard and Blackbeard were also locked in battle. Following the impact of a large wave, the coast became smooth and flat.

Moreover, a pool of water accumulated in the pit created by Whitebeard.

From a high point, Whitebeard observed the battlefield in the distance. Noticing that the Whitebeard Pirates were not at a disadvantage, he felt a sense of relief.

After several days of special training for Marco and the others, Whitebeard recognized that their strength had significantly improved.

Therefore, Whitebeard still had confidence in Marco, Jozu, Vista and Charles Vane. At the very least, they now had reached a level akin to quasi-Admirals.

"Teach, do you believe your mastery of two Devil Fruit abilities makes you invincible?"

"I'm about to show you the true power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

Whitebeard confronted Blackbeard with unwavering determination.

"Hmph, my Tremor-Tremor power is exactly the same as yours. And, as I've said before, your Tremor power stands no chance against my Dark Fruit."

While responding, Blackbeard raised his palms in front of him, and a black aura suddenly filled the air.

A dreadful gravity instantly enveloped the space, sending an invisible chill through everyone present.

"Come on, let me feel it!" 

Blackbeard shouted after setting up the layout.

He had shrouded his darkness around, ready to absorb any other Devil Fruit abilities that entered the area.

Being swallowed by this darkness is like being sucked into a black hole, basically it can be regarded as death.

Confronting Blackbeard's smug expression, Whitebeard merely shook his head disapprovingly.

"Teach, you're as naive as ever. You've been my sons for so many years, haven't you made any progress?"

After speaking, Whitebeard placed his naginata on the ground and then freed his hands, amassing a large amount of vibration power.

At the same time, Conqueror's Haki also gathered, and as Whitebeard punch out, the space on both sides shattered like glass.

Conqueror Haki entanglement!

BOOOM!!!

The immense vibrational force and the magnificent Conqueror's Haki simultaneously radiated outward, causing a violent air current to sweep out from the center of Whitebeard.

The water on the seashore was also drawn in, and the powerful vibrations caused the ground to shake constantly, creating numerous cracks.

Blackbeard frowned, struggling to counter Whitebeard's assault.

However, Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki instantly dispelled his darkness, leaving no chance for his Logia Dark Fruit to resist the overwhelming power.

After all, it's just the power of darkness, and if it's strong, there must be limitations. Logia Dark-dark fruit may have an absorption effect, but it still can't counter such strong haki.

Blackbeard was also somewhat surprised to discover that his dark fruit had been dispelled.

"Damn it!"

Blackbeard cursed, hastily using his tremor-tremor fruit to counter Whitebeard's attack.

At this moment, the forces of the two tremors collided, and the immense impact kept radiating out to the surroundings.

That kind of power seemed to shatter the sky as Blackbeard confronted Whitebeard's moves with all his strength.

Whitebeard himself leapt into the air and stood there with his vibration barrier, waiting for the high waves on the seashore to surge forward.
