Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

"Hahaha! Kaido of the Beasts has actually appeared here. Things are getting more and more interesting." Blackbeard laughed maniacally as he spoke.

However, his brows furrowed deeply, and beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Damn Kaido of the Beasts.

Will this guy's appearance here at this time ruin my plans?

"Hey, Captain, are we still going to do that grand performance you just mentioned?" the tyrannical king asked.

"If we fail, we'll disband," Big Barrel said.

"Don't worry! Boss won't fail." Raffira lowered his hat and said.

Kaido of the Beasts suddenly appeared on the battlefield, causing the two sides, who were originally engaged in fierce fighting, to fall into a stalemate.

Jinbe seized the opportunity to pick up the unconscious Straw Hat Luffy and ran away at top speed. Kaido's appearance was just in time!

The moment this guy appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, allowing me to quickly leave with my straw hat on.

Now that the Straw Hat Puppet is out of the picture, I need to get him away as soon as possible.

"Damn Straw Hat, you got lucky this time." Akainu gritted his teeth and said, watching Katsuhira run off into the distance. The key now was to deal with Kaido of the Beasts!

He no longer had time to hunt down Straw Hat Boy.

The other two admirals, Aokiji and Kizaru, also came to Akainu's side, both looking solemnly at Kaido who was descending from the sky.

"Are you alright? You were just fighting Whitebeard, you must have been exhausted." Aokiji glanced at Akainu beside him and asked.

"How terrifying! Kaido of the Beasts has actually come. We'll have to face two Yonko all at once!" Kizaru said.

"I need some time to recover; I'm not feeling well right now," Akainu said.

He was already quite injured when he fought Whitebeard, and neither his Haki nor his stamina were at their best. Facing Kaido of the Beasts at this time is really troublesome. Hopefully, that old hero or the other two admirals can step up their game a bit!

I can't go into battle alone!

After a huge cloud of smoke, Kaido of the Beasts appeared in the center of the battlefield, accompanied by Rod and Sylvanas.

"Those two guys! Are they new recruits to the Beasts Pirates? They both look pretty young."

"I don't know, it seems there's no bounty on it."

"That woman is quite pretty! And is her dark purple skin from some unknown race?"

Seeing Rhodes and Sylvanas appear beside Kaido of the Beasts, everyone whispered among themselves.

After all, those standing here now are all pirates who have just withstood Kaido's Conqueror's Haki, and their strength is at least that of pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions, or Marines of the rank of colonel or above.

"Lolo! Hahaha! Whitebeard old man, I've come personally to take your life," Kaido of the Beasts said.

"Kurarara! You little beast brat, you're trying to get something for nothing, aren't you?" Whitebeard said, panting, as he used his weapon to support himself.

His condition is now extremely poor. He has been pierced by two bloody holes in his front, and his domineering aura has been almost completely exhausted.

He's barely fighting with a sliver of consciousness left. Facing Kaido of the Beasts, let alone killing Blackbeard, that traitor, he might not even be able to withstand a single blow from him.

"Whitebeard, it's such a waste for a guy like you to die. Don't worry! I won't let you die so meaninglessly. I'll kill you and give you a new life," Kaido of the Beasts said.

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt somewhat bewildered. "I will kill you and give you a new life. I can't let you die so meaninglessly. What does this mean?"

"Hahaha! Kaido of the Beasts, if you want to take Whitebeard's life, we can join forces. You can keep the prestige from taking Whitebeard's head, but I can keep his corpse, how about that?" Blackbeard said.

"Hmph! You're Blackbeard, right? I need your help with something later! But I want Whitebeard's life, and I want his corpse too," Kaido said.

"Damn it! You don't take the Blackbeard Pirates seriously? Take this, strongest elbow strike!" Blackbeard Pirates' fighting champion, Burgess, roared and charged at Kaido of the Beasts.

With a loud bang, Kaido stood still, without moving or taking any defensive measures, and simply took the hit head-on.

"Is this your attack? It's no different from a child's tickle! Get out of my way!" Kaido roared, swinging his spiked club and sending the fighting champion Burgess flying.

Burgess was instantly like a kite with a broken string, flying through the air and spinning 360 degrees before crashing hard into the huge symbol of the Marine Headquarters, falling into a coma.

Kaido didn't use any force in that attack; it was just a casual strike. Otherwise, the opponent would have been turned into a pile of minced meat.

“Dark acupoint!” Thick black mist emanated from Blackbeard Teach’s palm.

"Curse of Pain, Corruption, Unstable Affliction, Haunting, Curse of Doom." Rhodes snorted and threw a Curse of Pain at Blackbeard, followed by a barrage of fel magic.

This time, I'll give myself a good chance to play the role of a Pain Sorcerer!

Pain is the most disgusting ability for Blackbeard, whose damage is doubled.

"Ouch! That hurts! What did you do to me? Was it your Devil Fruit power?" Blackbeard suddenly stepped back, looking at Rhodes with a wary expression.

In that instant, his body suddenly felt excruciating pain, as if it were being corroded by something. In the hazy light, he seemed to see some strange ghostly figures, but fortunately, his powerful Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki shielded him from them.

"It's not over yet! Sacrifice! Weakness Curse!" Rhodes' next spell followed immediately.

Suddenly, crimson flames burst into flames on Blackbeard's body.

No one saw how Rhodes attacked, or why Blackbeard suddenly caught fire.

"Is it some kind of weird Devil Fruit ability? No, I mean, our captain's ability can nullify any Devil Fruit ability?" the Evil King complained, clearly dissatisfied.

"Let's see how our captain performs! Let's hope he doesn't disappoint us!" Shiryu of the Rain said.

"Damn it!" Blackbeard's palm erupted with a black vortex, which then absorbed all of Rhodes's flames.

However, he still felt weak all over; this person's Devil Fruit ability was too ruthless.

"Hmph! Painful Calamity, Shadow Embrace, Evil Curse, Dark Soul." Rhodes held his staff and continuously unleashed various skills at Blackbeard.

These Affliction Warlock skills were learned during this period from his mentor, Treson.

Although the opponent is a warlock with a destruction talent, it doesn't mean he doesn't know any pain-based skills.

And with a top-tier tank standing right next to me, I'm not afraid of being attacked at close range. I can't help but unleash my full power and unleash a barrage of attacks.

"You wretched brat, what kind of ability do you have?"

At this moment, Blackbeard was stained with unknown green and black energy, and although he had used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to remove it, the effect was minimal.

"Not bad, kid." Kaido nodded and said.

Sylvanas took off her bow and stood beside Rhodes, allowing her little man to cast spells in peace.

Rhodes stood still, holding his staff, constantly casting various spells at Blackbeard.

While Dark Fruit can indeed eliminate some physical or elemental damage, it can't do anything about cursed or corrosive damage.

If abilities like Hellfire or Burning Sacrifice are used, then Blackbeard might still have a way to remove it.

However, if techniques like Painful Impermanence, Pain Technique, or Permanent Corrosion are used, Devil Fruit abilities cannot eliminate them.

At this moment, Blackbeard's flesh even began to rot. Terrified, Blackbeard quickly used Armament Haki to protect his body, transforming into a black man with a metallic sheen.

“Then let’s try this! Life Siphon.” Rhodes opened his arms and activated the story’s signature move, Life Siphon, towards Blackbeard, absorbing his life force.

A green ray of light was drawn from Blackbeard's body by Rhodes, and Blackbeard immediately felt extremely weak, as if he had completely collapsed and was utterly powerless.

"Ah! What have you done to me? Stop it, stop it now!"

"I am the cursed man who ate the cursed fruit, Blackbeard. You are cursed by me, Fear Technique!" Rhodes said.

I can't reveal that I ate the Azure Dragon Fruit, so from now on, I am the one who ate the Cursed Fruit and is cursed.

"Ah!" Blackbeard roared, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki and breaking free from Rod's Life Siphon restraints.

He instantly distanced himself and returned to his companions, looking at Rhodes with a wary expression.

Chapter 83 The cycle of life has ended, but death is not the end.

This kid's attack is truly bizarre! The way it causes him excruciating pain all over his body, even making him see some abnormal phenomena, and weakening his abilities in every way, is terrifying.

"Hahaha! I never expected to see a man like you on this vast ocean. The Curse-Curse Fruit truly has a peculiar power," Blackbeard said.

“Captain! This cursed fruit seems perfect for me!” Doc Q, riding a super skinny but strong horse, walked over and said.

This curse ability, tormenting enemies in a very bizarre way, is extremely useful! It suits him perfectly.

Blackbeard rolled his eyes upon hearing this. "You bastard, I know this stuff is perfect for you."

But didn't you see that he's Kaido's subordinate? And his strength isn't weak either; it won't be easy to steal his Devil Fruit.

And why did you have to say it out loud, you bastard? Everyone here is a master of Observation Haki; even if you speak softly, they can still hear you.

"Hahaha! Want my power? Then come and try it!" Rhodes said, holding his staff and looking at Blackbeard.

That bastard hid too far away; my casting range isn't enough!

"Hahaha! Your curse ability should have a certain distance limit, right? As long as I keep my distance from you, your Devil Fruit ability will be ineffective, am I right?" Blackbeard laughed triumphantly as he saw that Rhodes did not attack again.

"Heh! But can you undo the damage my ability has caused you? Let me tell you, my ability is not what you think; it will torment you forever," Rhodes said with a mysterious smile.

Just kidding, I was taking good care of you just now, spamming you with all sorts of evil magic, like I was risking my life.

Do you think fel energy is just a warlock ability in a game? You think you can just run away and jump around for a while and be fine?

No, no, no, you're mistaken. Blackbeard, fel energy will cause you permanent damage. This is why warlocks are the most hated and feared people in the world of Azeroth.

The pain inflicted by evil is permanent, and the desire is to remove this pain.

You need to find a master of nature, life, or holy light to eliminate the continuous corrosive effect of this evil energy on your body.

Upon hearing this, Blackbeard's expression changed drastically. He looked at his body, where Rhodes had just used the Curse of Rot, and the area was still festering.

Within his own body, a strange green energy was destroying his vitality and his life.

"Your ability is permanent? How can you possibly have such a Devil Fruit?" Blackbeard said, looking at Rhodes with disbelief.

On this vast ocean, there is a universally acknowledged fact: no matter how bizarre the power of a Devil Fruit is, as long as your Haki is strong enough, you can neutralize the effects of that fruit.

On this vast ocean, only dominance matters!

But today, this ironclad rule has been broken. I am a master of all three types of Haki: Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and Observation Haki!

Even with all his Haki activated, he couldn't break this ability. No, that's not right! It's not entirely useless either; it did alleviate the problem somewhat, but the strength of his Haki was still insufficient.

Worst of all, the green fel energy he kept within him seemed to be devouring his life force and growing stronger.

"Blackbeard, you have been afflicted by my life curse. Your life energy will be slowly devoured. Unless I remove it, you will die soon."

And the death will be incredibly gruesome; all the life energy in your body will be absorbed, turning you into a dried-up corpse, suffering immense pain as you watch your flesh wither and rot day by day,” Rhodes said.

"So can we disband now? Boss, it looks like you're not going to make it," the Evil King said with a grin.

"Disband! Disband!" The big wine barrel took a big gulp of wine and said drunkenly.
