One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 231 Blackbeard's Death, Item Refresh
God avoids!

With just one glance, Blackbeard recognized the origin of the sword.

He had witnessed both Roger's and Shanks's firsthand, but this kid's...

It is in no way inferior to the former two!

"Damn it!"

Blackbeard broke out in a cold sweat, terrified, and desperately flapped his wings to try and dodge.

but……

Can't avoid it!

Under the overwhelming influence of Conqueror's Haki, he was as if sealed and restricted by an invisible force, his movements becoming incredibly slow, and he could only watch helplessly as the crimson blade approached.

"What a joke!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Blackbeard was filled with fear and rage, a flash of madness and resentment in his eyes.

"I'm going to surpass that old bastard and become the king of the world! How could I possibly die here?!"

Die at the hands of a teenage brat?

absolute!

Absolutely unacceptable!

"Move!"

He roared furiously, his eyes blazing with rage, and an unprecedented power suddenly erupted from the depths of his soul.

hum!
An invisible shockwave suddenly exploded outwards from him, and black and red lightning danced wildly like mad snakes, instantly tearing apart the stagnant air around him!
"Hahaha... So this is Conqueror's Haki? I guess I have it too!!!"

Blackbeard laughed maniacally.

This domineering aura, though not as grand and imposing as Xia Nuo's, is still of extremely high quality, filled with twisted ambition and violence.

Like a ferocious demon crawling out of the abyss, it tore a rift in the swampy air the instant the crimson blade struck.

Finally, I can dodge to the side!
laugh!
In the next instant, the blade grazed the greenbottle fly's wing, severing half of its thin wing.

Blackbeard grunted, but didn't have time to pay attention, and without saying a word, he turned around and flew away into the distance.

With half a wing missing and injured, its flight speed naturally slowed down considerably.

But Blackbeard didn't care about anything else. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last bit of potential from his body. In his eyes, there was only the distant horizon.

There's nothing I can do, this kid...

That's still too strong!
Even if he awakened Conqueror's Haki, he could never be his match before obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

We have no choice but to keep running!
Don't be fooled... In short, there's plenty of time. Sooner or later, he will repay the other party for all the humiliation he suffered today!

"Can you run away?"

A mocking glint flashed in Shano's eyes, and he instantly activated his unparalleled Moonwalk, shooting straight towards Blackbeard's back.

In just a few flashes, they closed the distance by more than half.

But, at this very moment...

boom!
A golden Buddha's palm descended from the sky, forcing Xia Nuo back several steps!

"Warring States Period! When will this ever end?!"

Xia Nuo's eyes turned cold as she looked up.

Suddenly, the Warring States, bathed in Buddhist light, appeared, having caught up somehow. He floated on the sea, his countenance solemn and dignified, and spoke in a deep, resonant voice:
"That's enough, Shano! Marshall Teach's identity is somewhat special, and he probably can't die by your hand right now! However, as compensation, we can make a deal. As long as you spare his life, the Marine Headquarters can..."

"trade?"

Xia Nuo scoffed, making no attempt to hide his sarcasm, "Hey, how interesting. The guy you've framed as a pirate is doing his best to punish the culprit, while the dignified Fleet Admiral is desperately protecting the villain..."

He grinned:
"What kind of Buddha Sengoku! He's just a good dog raised by the Celestial Dragons! How dare you talk about justice?!"

Swish!
With a sharp shout, he suddenly accelerated, not trying to bypass Sengoku and continue chasing Blackbeard, but instead transforming into a streak of red and black light, heading straight for the golden Buddha.

Do you like blocking the way?

Do you like things to get bigger?

Then... let it become my weapon!

The golden Buddha lowered its head, looking down at Xia Nuo who was rushing towards it, a hint of doubt flashing in its eyes.

What is this for...

The young man was hot-tempered and angered by himself, so he gave up chasing Blackbeard and instead wanted to settle things with himself first.

Or.

I feel that I am so old and frail that I don't even need to spend much time taking care of myself.

"Humph!"

That's wishful thinking, but let's give it a try!
The golden Buddha snorted coldly, clasped his hands together, and suddenly pushed forward, unleashing a burst of dazzling Buddhist light!
"Buddha's Shock Wave!"

hum!
A violent shockwave swept in; Sengoku's attack seemed to be more than just a physical attack, it also carried a soul-shaking spiritual pressure.

Wherever the Buddha's light passed, the air distorted and trembled, and even the light seemed to be swallowed up, leaving only a pure golden torrent that poured down towards Xia Nuo!

"This level of strength can't stop me!"

Xia Nuo laughed wildly, showing no intention of backing down.

He directly wrapped his entire body in Conqueror's Haki, using his powerful physique to withstand the attack, and carved a passage through the Buddha's light, piercing through it all the way!
Snapped!
Xia Nuo leaned closer, and to Sengoku's astonishment, his two hands, wreathed in black and red lightning, reached out and firmly grasped the arm of the golden Buddha.

Immediately, he raised it high, swung it in a perfect arc, and aimed it at the distant black dot—

Breathtaking!

"Smash it!"

With a roar, the golden Buddha, like a meteorite, crashed down on the fleeing Blackbeard!

Ok?
Blackbeard, who was fleeing at full speed, suddenly found himself enveloped by a shadow that blotted out the sky.

what is this?
He turned his head and looked around, somewhat bewildered.

Just then, the magnificent golden Buddha statue appeared, growing larger and larger in my field of vision...

boom--! ! !
Amidst the earth-shattering crash, a powerful shockwave swept across the sea, unleashing a tsunami-like surge hundreds of meters high, with countless thick columns of water shooting into the sky.

The entire island of Coron began to tremble violently, and the remaining half of the fortress building of the G-14 branch finally reached its limit and collapsed completely with a loud bang.

The marines were trembling with fear, lying on the ground, too scared to move.

Lieutenant General Dol, who had just finished evacuating his men and confirmed that there were no casualties, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. His pupils immediately contracted, and he hurriedly took out his Den Den Mushi and began to dial for help from headquarters.

……

Sea surface.

The ripples still echoed, but the raging tsunami had subsided.

Amidst the crashing of the waves.

Blackbeard had transformed back into human form, lying sprawled on the sea, his bones shattered, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

His consciousness was already blurred, and the fact that the Devil Fruit user had come into contact with a large area of ​​seawater exacerbated his feeling of exhaustion and powerlessness.

But his survival instinct kept him struggling to get up.

“Thief…hahaha…” Blackbeard grinned with difficulty, revealing bloodstained teeth, “I…can still move, so there’s still…there’s still a chance…”

"Sorry, no more."

Xia Nuo descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of him, and spoke softly.

He slowly drew the katana Masamune from behind him; the blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

This also sent a shiver down Blackbeard's spine, as an unprecedented sense of despair and fear surged up within him.

“No, no, no, no…” He sobbed uncontrollably, his hand trembling as he reached out. “Hey, wait… Shano, we don’t have any blood feud, do we? I can help you, help you fight Whitebeard… help you replace him and become the strongest Emperor of the Sea…”

"He is a truly and utterly despicable person."

Xia Nuo shook her head slightly, showing no interest in answering.

Swish!
The sword flashed.

The long blade pierced Blackbeard's chest, twisting back and forth. Blackbeard's body instantly stiffened, his pupils lost focus, and he stared blankly at the sky.

died?

Is this what they call a representative of a pirate tyrant?

Disappointed, Shano drew his katana.

Crocodile, Doflamingo... even that Tyrannosaurus Rex Hanafuda, before his death, still knew to use every means to fight to the death, and then face death calmly.

This guy, despite possessing strength at the level of a deputy emperor, never once considered resisting me.

When death is imminent, he cries and begs desperately, even trying to betray the father who adopted him many years ago... How boring.

What kind of tyrant?

Just a clown.

Xia Nuo remembered something else, turned on the zither, and casually opened up the chest of the zither to take a look.

Wow, there really are three hearts. The one that should be in a normal position was shattered beyond recognition, but the other two are still beating faintly...

If it weren't for my outstanding static visual ability, I probably would have overlooked it at first glance.

Is this why the other party was able to eat multiple Devil Fruits?

Without hesitation, he used his knife to shred both hearts, and then, feeling it wasn't safe enough, he simply swung his knife and beheaded Blackbeard.

Finally, I opened Marauder's Map and quickly searched for the name Teach.

I was finally relieved after seeing the "No such result" message.

Wow!

He shook the knife to remove the blood and then sheathed it.

Joker may be a clown, but this guy is, after all, a chosen one of the same plane as Nika, with some so-called destiny bestowed upon him.

Since we're going to eliminate the root of the problem, we naturally need to go to the extreme to be absolutely sure.

From that day forward, Blackbeard was no more.

Xia Nuo glanced one last time at the headless corpse.

In this way, the incident at the top will probably not happen again, since the source of the incident has been cut off by ourselves.

Even if there really is a Marineford arc, the main actors and the script will be changed. There won't be another scenario where Whitebeard actually rescues Ace, but Ace turns around and gives himself away.

It's funny to say.

In the original timeline.

Both were great pirates who threatened the world government and were famous throughout an era.

Rocks' son, treacherous, cruel and ruthless, can transform himself into a Shichibukai, attend meetings at Marine Headquarters, and wander into Impel Down.

Roger's son, aside from being a bit dim-witted and reckless, had only ever committed the worst crime of dining and dashing, yet he was taken to the execution platform and punched through the heart.

Comparing the two.

It's quite ironic, actually.

……

"What's even more ironic is you, Sengoku."

Xia Nuo turned around, looked up at the golden Buddha opposite her, and calmly said, "I told you, you can't stop me from killing the people I want to kill. You didn't believe me before, but do you now?"

The breathtaking display he made against Hancock last time was just a minor skirmish; this time, he went all out, truly showcasing the power of this finishing move for the first time.

Furthermore, this skill itself has the characteristic that "the larger the size, the greater the damage received," making it a unique weapon for dealing with the Golden Buddha form.

and so.

Even with his formidable physique, Sengoku still suffered considerable internal injuries. He clutched his chest and took a long time to catch his breath. For a brief moment, he was unable to free his hands to stop Shano from killing Blackbeard.

Of course.

This is only a temporary suppression; it is impossible to defeat the Warring States period so easily.

This old man probably sits at his desk too much every day and has been away from the battlefield for too long, so his strength has indeed declined faster than Garp's.

But in the end, he was still a true general-level general.

Unless they sink him into the sea like they did when they fought Kizaru, it will be difficult to determine a winner without fighting for several days and nights.

"Xia Nuo".

The golden Buddha ignored Xia Nuo's sarcasm. He slowly straightened up, his eyes burning with rage:

"To kill a potential Shichibukai right in front of me and then destroy a naval base—such arrogance, such provocation… Aren't you afraid I'll declare the previous ceasefire agreement null and void?!"

"Your navy was inexplicably chasing after me before, and I just destroyed a branch base, and you can't even stand it?"

Xia Nuo raised an eyebrow. "As for the agreement, that's the Holy Land's decision, isn't it? Without the Celestial Dragons' permission, do you have that right?"

Zhan Guo's breath hitched slightly.

He wanted to refute it, but he had to admit that it was true.

The Holy Land's current attitude towards the Fallen Ones remains the same: let them enter the depths of the New World and stir up trouble, then sit back and watch the two tigers fight.

However, in his view, this was completely unreliable, despite his reputation as a "wise general".

Before he was even twenty, his strength was already on par with the emperors of the sea. His future prospects could not be overestimated!

Unfortunately, the Holy Land's orders and policies cannot be disobeyed, and the Marine Headquarters is too far away to reach the depths of the New World, so they can only watch helplessly as the fallen faction rises to power...

"Let's keep fighting, you brat Shano!"

Sengoku suddenly roared, his entire body radiating golden Buddhist light, "This is a one-on-one duel between you and me! It has nothing to do with the Fallen Ones or the Navy. I'll stake my name, the Buddha Sengoku, on this day, I'll fight to the death and take you down right here!"

"I've achieved my goal. As for fighting with an old man like you? Sorry, I have no interest."

Xia Nuo shrugged.

That old bastard, he's got a lot of wicked ideas. Does he really think he's some kind of hot-blooded idiot?
He believed Garp when he suddenly started shouting about risking his personal honor to fight to the bitter end.

Warring States Period?

Hmph, the G-14 branch is so close to the entrance to the New World. If we fly a little higher and look far into the distance, we can even see the Red Line.

If the Navy Headquarters dispatches emergency support, it can arrive in a few hours.

This old man was simply trying to stall for time while secretly dispatching a naval admiral to blockade and surround the area.

"This is boring, this is boring, I'm not fighting anymore, I'm leaving!"

Xia Nuo waved her hand and turned to leave.

"stop!"

Zhan Guo's forehead veins bulged as he roared, and his golden Buddha palm struck down again, "Do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?"

"if not?"

Xia Nuo laughed loudly, his Conqueror's Haki suddenly solidified in his leg, and he turned around and kicked out. The kick, wrapped in black and red lightning, collided with the Buddha's palm!
boom!
The violent shockwave exploded into huge waves on the sea surface. Sengoku groaned and retreated more than ten meters.

Looking up again, on the vast sea, where was there any trace of Xia Nuo?

"asshole……"

Zhan Guo gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

But when he caught a glimpse of the red airship drifting away in the distance out of the corner of his eye, he became even more furious...

------

The next few days.

The news of Marshall Teach's death swept across the ocean like a hurricane.

Upon hearing this news, the people looked bewildered and asked around, "Who exactly is this Teach?"
really……

No matter how powerful or terrifying a character may be in the future, if they die young, they will still receive the same treatment as any other nobody.

No one cares about this person's background, or why he is protected by the Admiral and hunted down by the Emperor of the Sea.

I vaguely know that this guy is a traitor who escaped from the Whitebeard Pirates, and that's about it.

As a result, Teach, one of the main figures in the incident, was quickly overlooked.

What people talked about and spread everywhere was the news that the Sea Emperor Shano had brazenly stormed into the Navy's G-14 branch in order to hunt down this person and fought with Sengoku.

Although the outcome of their one-on-one duel was still undecided.

But the outcome is already clear to everyone.

Teach, who was protected by the Navy, died, the base fortress building was destroyed, and what about Shano?

Nothing happened. They acted as if they were attending a banquet, ate their meal, and then returned to their own territory.

The navy, on the other hand, suffered another humiliating defeat...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

a few days later.

"Phew, it finally refreshed!"

On the early morning, on the Sunset Ship, Xia Nuo, who had just slept in, woke up comfortably and casually opened the trading market, immediately revealing a happy smile.

A whole month has passed.

Finally, it's time for my third favorite part: the shopping spree!
