Chapter 128 Living in their shadow
"Boom boom boom boom"
A gigantic hand, as large as a small mountain, slammed down on Teach on the ground!
The other three opposing sides had already stopped fighting and were dodging to the sides to avoid the attack that was like the sky collapsing!
"What a terrifying woman!"
Poison Q's sick horse ran incredibly fast, its hooves practically smoking, before it finally escaped the battle's range. It lay on a rockery, looked back, and sighed with genuine emotion.
Van Augur teleported to Doc Q's side, standing there expressionless as he watched.
"Another one died."
The two looked at each other and remained silent.
Yeah, another one died...
The Blackbeard Pirates have only been at sea for a few months, and two of their members have already died.
And they all died at the hands of the Phantom Pirates.
Van Augur glanced at Hisoka, who had already fled the battlefield and was fiddling with playing cards. It seemed that ever since this man appeared, members of their gang had been dying one after another.
Is it just my imagination?
Van Augur gazed at the towering figure battling his boss in the distance, and for some reason, he had a feeling...
It felt as if we were all living in the other's shadow.
The same team possesses some kind of ability to steal Devil Fruits.
The same sea route.
The same exaggerated influence that affects the entire world.
Even Van O'Kana's keen intuition had already sensed it...
That team had that... sense of belonging to the same kind that many of them carried.
Those kinds of extremely evil people who can kill without batting an eye and disregard life.
only.
Van Augur looked at March, who was struggling desperately, with a hint of confusion on his face.
That team seemed different from them.
Given their indifference to life... how could they even have the word "companion"?
They seem to be angry about their companion's injury.
They seem willing to risk everything, even their lives, for the safety of their companions.
These are emotions that should never appear in extremely evil people, yet they appear one after another in the members of the opposing side.
This situation could only have been caused by one person... their captain.
Van Augur's glasses gleamed with an inexplicable light. "Is it because of that guy named Kuroro...?"
'
"What kind of magic does he possess...?"
"
On the other hand, Little Drop and Barov also returned to their own camp. Little Drop calmly went to help, but Barov grabbed her arm and stopped her.
"Why are you stopping me?"
A tiny bit of curiosity.
"It's obvious." Pelolev pointed to the horrific scene ahead, "That's no longer a battlefield for you or me to intervene in."
Xiao Di thought what he said made a lot of sense, so she thought for a moment, stopped, adjusted her round glasses with her index finger, looked calmly at the raging battlefield in front of her, and said in a flat tone: "Outdated."
Lev was speechless for a moment.
Yes, it's outdated.
After gaining a second ability, Machi's fighting power far surpassed that of the four members of Uvogin's group.
He might be able to intervene on the battlefield ahead with [Battle Waltz - Jupiter], but that one strike is enough to keep up with the level of the two in front of him.
"The commander's hunt should be sped up!" Peelev sighed, feeling that this sense of being unwanted... wasn't very pleasant.
"boom"
Shukaku's giant hand slammed Teach's figure down from mid-air, causing the ground within a hundred meters to tremble violently. Then...
A terrifying palm print formed on the ground, with dust billowing like a dragon and countless cracks continuing to spread.
Inside the deep pit.
"It hurts, it hurts"
Blood was seeping from the corner of Teach's mouth. "Ouch!"
He stumbled to his feet, seemingly having suffered some kind of injury.
However, upon closer inspection, one will find...
Teach's body was covered by a layer of black, so the damage he suffered was extremely limited, but the darkness beneath his feet continued to spread.
However, as darkness spread, much of the sand and gravel in the giant beast's hands was silently swallowed by the dark water.
This attack, ironically, rendered Shukaku unable to use his Sand Palm technique any longer.
Seeing this, Machi knew she couldn't defeat the enemy with brute force, so she took the initiative and changed her move to "Sand Binding Cabinet 1".
A colossal sandstorm formed around Teach, then formed four walls that slowly closed in on the center.
The next second, an enormous sand coffin formed on the ground, completely enveloping Teach's figure!
"It's done." Seeing this, Machi's eyes flashed with joy.
Kuroro had described Teach's terrifying nature to the Phantom Troupe members. Machi, of course, did not believe that she could really defeat him on her own. All she wanted to do was test her current strength and see how far she could go, and keep him in check!
As long as Kuroro arrives, Machi believes that the other party will have no chance to escape!
However, before Machi could even show any excitement, the incredibly sturdy sand coffin slowly sank to the ground and collapsed.
A black mass covered the entire land below, and even Shukaku's figure silently descended into the darkness.
"Hehehehe, I told you... everything will be absorbed by darkness!"
"Sand is no exception, of course!"
The quicksand was slowly sucked away, and Teach's figure reappeared from the sand coffin. At this moment, half of Shukaku's body had already sunk into darkness and turned into nothingness.
"This is the true power of the Dark Water. Darkness... can encompass everything."
Teach slowly raised his hand towards the half of Shukaku in front of him, "Become one with the darkness—"
Immediately afterwards, an incredibly powerful suction force formed from the constantly rotating black hole above its palm, and under this powerful suction force... Shukaku's body began to disintegrate and dissolve, revealing Machi's figure inside.
Machi's figure began to be uncontrollably pulled toward the black hole.
"Sand Instantaneous Movement—"
Seeing this, Machi could only turn herself into sand and move quickly, trying to get away from the black vortex.
However, this only delayed the inevitable; her body continued to slowly approach Teach.
"Sandfall Gun Burial"
Seeing this, Machi made a final struggle, using her abilities to condense a high-density sand spear nearly a hundred meters long in the sky, which shot rapidly towards Teach—
But it melts away like ice and snow the moment it comes into contact with the black hole.
However, this is not the most fatal thing!
Most fatally... the violent power within Machi was waning, and an unprecedented weakness was invading her nerves.
The effects of the Rumble Ball's medicine... have arrived!!!
Teach wore a cunning, triumphant smile. "Your abilities are mine now."
"Once I touch you, you'll never be able to use that sand's power again, hehehehe."
Just as he was feeling smug, Hisoka's expression changed, and relying on his flexible love, he moved at high speed in the completely opposite direction from him without stopping.
The only remaining reminder in the air was its heavy tone, "Hurry up—"
—
"Something's coming!!!"
Teach's expression froze instantly, and Van Augur reacted in a flash, grabbing Teach and Doc Q and speeding off in the direction Hisoka was fleeing.
Only Teach's final, furious words remained in mid-air: "Damn it—"
"Just a little bit more!"
"Next time we meet, I'll definitely kill you."
At the same time, an invisible door appeared between Machi and the fleeing members of the Black Organization. A black figure slowly emerged from the door—Kuroro... took a step forward.
