Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 410 Killing Blackbeard! Meishan's Counterattack

The situation changed too quickly. Blackbeard had been trying to sneak away, but he didn't dare to move at all after what had just happened.

Neither the Four Emperors nor the Three Admirals are beings he can currently challenge.

Just as Marineford was about to descend into chaos again and they were about to retreat, a bolt of lightning shot straight before their eyes.

"Grote!"

Kate's pupils constricted, and she roared.

The man in the suit suddenly tapped the ground with the heel of his leather shoe, and then spun around in place.

When he finally appeared, his face had changed to that of a completely different person.

That was Bruno, the CP9 user of the Door-Door Fruit, whose expression was stiff and whose limbs even looked a little strange.

The stiff figure, like a puppet on strings, awkwardly stretched out its hand, trying to open a door in the air.

But is it too late?
The spear nimbly spun around his waist, circled in front of him, and a conspicuous sword light detached from the spear blade, flying towards the other pirates who were terrified and preparing to rescue Blackbeard.

At the same time, Li Xia's knee had already been raised, and a deep black color spread across his knee, shimmering with a peculiar metallic hue.

"Oh!"

Blackbeard's eyes bulged as he prepared to gather the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit. Intense pain spread from the spot where he was hit; the pain from being struck in the kidney was unbearable even for a normal person.

Not to mention Blackbeard, who feels twice the pain.
Before the scream could even escape his lips, a left fist, also imbued with Armament Haki, slammed into his chin from below.

"Kara!"

With a sickeningly loud crash, Blackbeard's few remaining good teeth were knocked off his gums and flew out under the violent impact.

The massive body even lifted off the ground with both feet, flying backwards.

Taking advantage of the situation, Li Xia gripped the spear and was about to charge forward when he suddenly paused. It was this pause that caused a scorching bullet fired by Wan-O-Gar, the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates, to glide past his nose.

But the sniper hiding in the distance was also a master; he made an accurate prediction.

Seizing this opening, they fired again!
The two bullets, one after the other, somehow intersected to form an unavoidable deadly trajectory.

Misfortune was screeching as the bullet pierced Li Xia's skull without hesitation.

Overjoyed, Ronnie slammed his fist on the mat beneath him.

Wait, it missed?

The joy didn't last long before Ronnie, glancing at the battle notification, froze on the spot.

In that instant of hesitation, the charcoal-clad figure in the distance tilted his head and assumed a firing stance.

Behind it, the tall, half-skeleton Susanoo held up a huge sniper rifle, tilted its head, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Kate, who was anxiously waiting, was startled and turned her head in disbelief. There was actually a sniper hiding there?
A high-speed sniper bullet with a power of up to 8000 points instantly traversed a distance of one kilometer.

Ronnie tried to dodge, but it was too late. With a scream, his entire right arm and shoulder exploded into a bloody mist.

He collapsed to the ground, frantically pulling out various medicines and stuffing them into his mouth.

At the same time, they were frantically shouting in the team channel:

"Help me!!! If I die, your reputation within the guild won't be any better!"

As a sniper, no one knew better than him what was going to happen next.

Black Charcoal continued to make movements without any real substance, its little cat paws naturally 'pulling the latch'.

A huge, bright orange bullet casing fell to the ground with a crisp sound, emitting wisps of smoke.

"Damn it!"

Kate's red hair fluttered, and she floated in mid-air, with a symbol resembling the Sith Empire from Star Wars appearing on her chest.

A strange light shone in her eyes, and her fingers spread out, reaching into the distance.

The crimson Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, and everything around it seemed to slow down.

Black charcoal's beard twitched, as if he were laughing.

"Meow!"

Ronnie, who had sensed Kate's move, lay on the ground with a smile on his face.

Without warning, his head exploded, red blood mixed with white bone fragments forming a cone-shaped splatter.

Your teammate Ronnie is dead!

The kitten in the distance raised one of its paws high, pointing it towards the sky.

The notification in the hall refreshed rapidly: 【Your follower, Black Charcoal, has killed Ronnie (a Celestial Dragon), a member of the 'Time Scavenger' Chosen Team!】

[The Hall of Fame has determined that there were no direct witnesses to this kill.]

[Executioner, you have been exempted from the 'identity' penalty!]

But at this moment, Li Xia's gaze did not shift towards the prompt box at all; his eyes, which seemed to be burning with flames, were fixed on the black-bearded man in front of him.

This precise distance was enough for Blackbeard to activate his ability.

As expected, spurred by the threat of death, Blackbeard, suspended in mid-air, instinctively unleashed his strongest power, the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability unfolding at an unprecedented speed.

The inky darkness spread rapidly, blocking the Blackbeard Pirates who wanted to save him, and also cutting off his only chance of survival.

"Dark Water—Dark Acupoints!"

An immense attraction surged from both hands instantly.

"Ouch!!!"

Li Xia roared in the team channel, crouching down, his domineering aura spreading across the night sky.

The gleaming gun blade turned as black as night.

A high-pitched dragon roar echoed in the sky. The dragon's eyes widened, its whiskers fluttered, and its claws stretched out as if tearing at something unseen.

"Break for Grandpa Long!!"

The immense attraction vanished instantly, and the ground beneath Li Xia's feet exploded with a deafening roar.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread out from where the feet stepped.

"shave!"

Li Xia's figure suddenly disappeared.

"Pfft!"

The silent night pierced through Blackbeard's throat without hesitation, emerging from his body.

Blackbeard's hands were now imbued with the same intense Armament Haki, gripping the gun handle tightly.

Thick blood dripped down the blade of the gun, and Li Xia's eyes were as sharp as an arrow.

Even now, he remained focused, his arm muscles bulging and the veins on his forehead throbbing.

The terrifying breath, like a whale inhaling water, caused the surrounding air to ripple and create gentle breezes.

"Uh—uh"

Blackbeard's eyes were equally fierce. At this moment, he finally realized that the Dark-Dark Fruit was useless against the person in front of him.

He relied too much on the fruit in his previous response, which caused him to miss his chance. If he had relied solely on his Haki, he might not have lost, and he certainly wouldn't have lost so quickly!
This ambitious son of a pirate king is also not lacking in the determination and courage to fight to the death.

Black and red lightning bolts shot out from Blackbeard's body. As Rocks' son, how could he not have Conqueror's Haki?

There were also tiny black and red lightning bolts jumping around Li Xia's body.

The surging and violent Conqueror's Haki clashed, pushing everything around them aside.

To Blackbeard's astonishment, the jet-black spear suddenly burst into bright blue lightning, and the immense force of their struggle was transformed into inertia.

Li Xia's toes made a small, shallow indentation in the ground, and his left hand had already gripped the hilt of the sword hanging behind his waist.

Using the force of the turn, a brilliant sword light bloomed in the twilight sky above Marineford.

With his back to the astonished Blackbeard, Li Xia twirled his sword and flicked away the bloodstains remaining on the blade.

With his right arm outstretched to the side, the night's stillness re-condensed in his hand amidst the piercing screech.

The Murakumo Sword slowly slid back into its sheath, and a head, its face still bearing traces of surprise, rolled off amidst the surge of blood.

[Executioner, you have killed 'Blackbeard' Marshall D. Teach!]

Ah, some readers are confusing the executioner with the hunter in the cycle of reincarnation.

In reality, it's completely different; there are no 'rulers' from the cycle of reincarnation within the temple.

Unless you completely deceive the hall like Li Xia, you will definitely be punished if you are detected.

If you can bear the consequences of punishment, you will reap the rewards.
