The expressions, movements, breath, and strength of the person in front of me all pointed to the fact that the guy in the "Captain Sachi" appearance was an imposter.

“Betrayal and harming one’s comrades are common occurrences in Haiyan, so why is it that a ghost is specifically coming to claim my life…” Teach said in a sinister tone.

"You're really putting on an act, aren't you? It's laughable that you actually fooled me!"

"you……"

Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed; the black beard gave him a completely different feeling now than before.

His fists were clenched tightly, veins bulging, and a murderous aura was contained within his bloated and burly body. The fierce light in his eyes seemed to stagnate the surrounding air.

With each heavy breath, his chest heaved violently, a murderous intent surged forth.

His towering figure, far exceeding the average physique in the ninja world, was like a mountain looming before him.

"This terrifying sense of oppression..."

Shiranui Sho's mind went blank with madness, and she quickly transformed back into her original form, her right hand already reaching into the ninja tool pouch at her waist to grasp the handle of the kunai.

The last time I felt this kind of pressure was when I encountered the Third Kazekage, who had not yet succeeded to the throne, on the battlefield!

Shiranui Sho is now much stronger than before, but she still feels immense pressure when facing Teach, who is filled with murderous intent!

Of all the enemies he faced in his ninja career, Blackbeard Teach's strength was undoubtedly unprecedented!

Chapter 15 Teach's Recruitment! Fierce Battle!

When the transformation was deactivated, revealing Shiranui Sou's original appearance, even the deep-thinking and murderous Teach was taken aback.

He considered her to be "short" in height and young, inexperienced.

Judging from the information reflected by Observation Haki, although this brat has a strange energy within him, his body is so weak that it's laughable.

Moreover, he had never seen this kid on the ship before, and had no idea where he had gotten on board.

Teach's cheeks twitched involuntarily, his anger growing even stronger.

He was actually fooled by this kid who hasn't even grown any hair yet!?

Are you kidding me!

The heavy body quickly disappeared from the spot, and even Shiranui Sho didn't hear a clear sound. Teach had already approached with the power of ten thousand kilograms!

With his right fist clenched, a powerful force stirred up a gust of air that shot straight toward Shiranui Sho's head in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Shiranui Sho seemed to have returned to the platform where she was waiting for the bullet train in her previous life, watching the speeding bullet train roar towards her from outside the waiting line.

If that punch lands, the first thing Whitebeard's crew will see when they arrive tomorrow is a pile of broken watermelons.

bang——

Blackbeard possesses immense strength, and Shiranui Sho also has his own ninjutsu.

Smoke billowed out, and the next second, what appeared in front of Teach's fist was a wooden barrel suspended in mid-air.

Shiranui Sou's body landed smoothly to Teach's left front.

Substitution Jutsu was the second ninjutsu he mastered at the ninja academy.

It's still just a basic E-rank ninjutsu. Its effect is to replace the body with an object at the moment of attack, creating the illusion of a successful attack to confuse the enemy.

This technique can catch the enemy off guard, creating an opening for a sneak attack or escape.

If one is skilled enough, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as "a cicada shedding its shell."

In ninja academies, to ensure the survival rate of aspiring ninjas after they become ninjas, the Three Body Techniques—Transformation Technique, Substitution Technique, and Clone Technique—are made compulsory courses.

Back when he was still in school, he mastered these three techniques better than anyone else in order to survive the Second Shinobi World War!

Completely unexpectedly, the target he was certain to obtain turned out to be a wooden barrel. Just as his fist was about to shatter the barrel, Teach withdrew his fist and clenched it into a claw, firmly gripping the barrel.

The sound of a barrel being smashed could attract the attention of the crew on watch in the lookout tower, or it could wake up the crew resting in the cabin.

This decision gave Shiranui Sho a opening.

To fight or to flee?

He made his choice in a fraction of a second!

After taking a step back, Shiranui Sho formed hand seals, and chakra surged from his dantian to his abdomen. At the same time, he inhaled the surrounding airflow into his mouth, causing his cheeks to bulge.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!!"

Several sharp wind blades sliced ​​through the air, locking onto Teach's eyes, neck, heart, and other vital organs within a distance of less than ten meters.

When they left the ninja academy, Jiraiya gave him and Minato each a chakra paper.

After he injected chakra, one area was split open, and another area spontaneously combusted, meaning that his chakra possessed both wind and fire attributes.

This does not mean that he is unable to learn or use ninjutsu of other attributes, but rather that he is more successful in learning wind and fire attribute ninjutsu.

Through countless battles, he had become adept at using Wind Release ninjutsu.

"Airflow? Similar to a swordsman's slash, how is it coming out of his mouth...? A Devil Fruit ability?"

The vacuum wave, hidden in the darkness and invisible, could not escape Teach's perception with his Observation Haki, which surprised him.

Armament Haki surged from his arms, and he slapped in front of him at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, dissipating the invisible wind blades into the air.

The ability to transform into other people's appearances and spit out wind blades makes it natural for Blackbeard, whose thinking is limited to this world, to label Shiranui Sho as an "Ability User".

He almost swore and cursed out loud.

You already have Devil Fruit powers, so what are you trying to achieve by arguing with me for so long?!

If the other crew members find me, I'll certainly die, but do you think you, a brat of unknown origin, will live?!

"The defensive power of Armament Haki is that strong?" Shiranui Xiao's lips twitched.

Because of the close proximity, even in the dim lighting, he could clearly see that Teach had only a faint white mark on his arm after blocking the vacuum wave, as if it had just been lightly scratched by a fingernail.

“俟⌒”恚隳芏銕状危。 �

Teach placed the wooden bucket on the floor beside him, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Putting aside the negative emotions that had been bothering him, Teach's Observation Haki had already revealed the strength of the boy in front of him.

Although his abilities are strange, his strength is far inferior to his. Even if he is limited by the environment and cannot make too much of a fuss, it would be a piece of cake to take down this brat!

"Hey kid, you're an ability user too, why don't you come aboard my ship?"

Teach narrowed his eyes slightly and surprisingly extended an olive branch at this moment.

In his view, although the kid in front of him was not strong, he was also young and his strange abilities made him a potential student.

After obtaining the Dark Fruit, he will inevitably have to leave Whitebeard's Pirates and establish his own business, and of course, he will need to recruit his own "Blackbeard's Pirates" partners.

However, although he extended the invitation verbally, he acted without the slightest hesitation.

"You don't look like someone who would cause trouble for Saitama!"

Shiranui Sho grinned, but a bead of cold sweat trickled down her forehead from the pressure she was under.

For some reason, he consistently avoided Teach's attacks instead of choosing to parry, but this single tactical choice undoubtedly consumed more energy.

"Since you haven't agreed yet!"

Teach stepped forward again, the shock and anger from before gone, and skillfully further restricted Shiranui Sou's retreat.

Who would hold a grudge against fish on a cutting board?

In his view, there were only two possible outcomes for the other party: he would crush them into a corpse, or they would surrender and join him in order to save their lives.

Just then, Shiranui Sho seized the opportunity and took the Fuma Shuriken, which had been slung on her back at some point, and grasped the central ring with both hands.

The Fuma Shuriken is an enlarged and enhanced version of the ordinary shurikens, with all four blades gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Although it loses the advantage of surprise attack because it is more conspicuous than a regular shuriken, it is more terrifying in terms of power, and can even behead someone if it hits the neck.

“Strange-looking weapon!” Teach scoffed.

"Wind Release·Fire Wind Palm!!"

Shiranui Sho gently tossed the Fuma Shuriken into the air, then formed hand seals. With a whooshing sound, a fierce wind condensed, swirled, and enveloped the suspended Fuma Shuriken.

Driven by the fierce wind, the speed at which the sword in the Wind Demon's hand spun became invisible in an instant.

call out--

The sword in Fuuma's hand sliced ​​through the air and shot straight toward the direction where Blackbeard was.

The combination of Wind Release ninjutsu and the sharp Wind Demon Shuriken made Teach take notice.

However, that alone is not enough to stop him!

"You haven't awakened your Observation Haki, have you?"

Teach merely tilted his head slightly, and the wind demon's shuriken, having anticipated its trajectory, flew past his cheek, missing even a single black beard.

His patience was completely exhausted, and as his gaze sharpened, an aura of fierce power, as deep as the ocean, pressed down upon him!

"The game of cat and mouse has come to an end!!"

Chapter 16: The Hidden Fruit!

This time, Shiranui Sho had been cornered by Teach in a dark corner outside the cabin, with layers of thick wooden planks behind her and the boundless ocean.

In Teach's view, Shiranui Sho had no way out.

However, in Shiranui Sho's eyes, this was no different from drawing Teach away at a sufficient distance.

Faced with this powerful punch that seemed to have the force of a thousand kilograms, Shiranui Sho was once again shocked by the physique of the world's strongest person, but her feet were rooted to the spot like a tree.

There was no dodging, no fear, and not even a blocking posture.

Shiranui Sho simply stared blankly as the fist, accompanied by a whooshing sound, rapidly enlarged before her eyes, seemingly frozen in place.

However, in the next second, Teach's eyes suddenly widened as he stared in astonishment at the wide smile on the other person's face.

"Teach, you'll gladly accept the Dark Fruit, Grandpa Shiranui!"

Half of his face was hidden in darkness, while the other half was bathed in the slanting moonlight. After a sarcastic remark, Xiao's lips curled into a playful smile.

what?

The murderous intent boiling in Teach's heart was mostly dissipated by the confusion that surged into his mind.

How did he know that the fruit was a Dark Fruit?

Also, why do we say "I gladly accept it"?

bang——

The wind of the punch arrived, and the right fist, with its thick, dark hair like that of a wild boar, struck heavily, creating a shockwave.

However, the punch missed its target, and all the power was released into the air.

Just a second before Teach's fist struck Shiranui Xiao's head, the living person abruptly vanished before his eyes, leaving only a plume of smoke rising from the spot.

His pupils contracted sharply. Teach didn't even turn around; his Observation Haki had already made him aware of the movement a dozen meters behind him!

At the doorway to Sachi's room, the Wind Demon Shuriken, its corner stuck in the ground, transformed into a human form along with a wisp of smoke.

It's that brat who calls himself Shiranui!

A triumphant smile appeared on Shiranui Xiao's face. As he formed hand seals, chakra surged from his dantian, and a warm current gathered in his mouth.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!!"

Besides Wind Release, Shiranui Sou is also skilled in Fire Release ninjutsu.

His teacher, Jiraiya, was also skilled in Fire Release techniques. Under Jiraiya's guidance, Shiranui Sho mastered techniques similar to the Third Hokage's, combining different elemental ninjutsu for combined attacks.

The wind fuels the fire, and the fire amplifies the wind's power, increasing both its destructive force and attack range to a new level!

However, Shiranui Sho's goal now is not to attack, but to interfere!

Clusters of flame shot towards Teach's location like seeds from a balsam flower. Teach, who thought the other was about to unleash wind blades again, suddenly focused his gaze.

It can breathe wind and fire; what kind of mythical beast is this ability?

This ability, which resembles that of a Mythical Beast, immediately reminded him of another sea emperor who, like his father, reigned supreme over the ocean—Kado the Beast!

However, the next moment, when he saw Shiranui Sho turn around, violently break down Sachi's door, and rush inside, his eyes widened in fury.
