Konoha's Mission Master

Blackbeard wore a strange smile, looking like an incredibly sunny and honest uncle, instinctively hiding his sinister and cruel side at this moment.

Yakumo spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

"But I hate you even more!"

"Cruel, selfish, despicable, and insidious insects!"

As Yakumo spoke, Blackbeard's smirk gradually faded, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and he grinned wildly.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"I really want to...crush your bones with my own hands!"

As Blackbeard laughed maniacally, the darkness beneath his feet gradually spread outwards, and a powerful aura spread unrestrainedly from his body.

Yakumo had a strange feeling, as if the light in the world was being gradually absorbed by the darkness released by Blackbeard.

"Oh, I'm hooked, I'm hooked."

So that he could crush Blackbeard with his own hands.

Yakumo directly rewrote his own mission flow.

This is the first time since I traveled through time...

"Refined by Holy Light!"

The light between heaven and earth receded at this moment, and the sunlight from thousands of miles around gradually converged into a beam of light about half a meter in diameter, falling on the Glory Sword Box on Yakumo's back, to everyone's astonishment.

At that moment, the sea became incredibly dark.

But the ordinary sword box suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling and brilliant white light, like the sun falling to earth.

The rounded gemstones inlaid on the surface of the sword case simultaneously burst forth with intense brilliance, an extreme white light... repelling the black smoke churning on the sea surface.

The sound of mechanisms operating came from inside the sword case.

Two weapons slid out of their scabbards.

Yakumo slowly turned his hand back and grasped...

At that moment, he felt as if he held the whole world in his hands!

On the sea, light returned.

But the sun's brilliance could not compare to the sword case on Yakumo's back; it was a powerful light of the highest order.

Blackbeard instantly became alert and realized his mistake at that moment.

Arrogance... leads to destruction.

Yakumo gripped Fuma and Kaiyo in his hands.

At that moment, the two weapons seemed to possess their own life, and one could even hear their deep heartbeats.

Soon... Yakumo realized that this was his imagination.

The two weapons vibrated rapidly, as if they couldn't wait to be drawn.

Bright white light spots were scattered all around.

It is also light, but it is very different from Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit. This energy is not a pure flash of light, but more like a burning flame.

Yakumo drew his weapon, the blade covered with complex and mysterious white runes, while a bright white flame burned within it.

The temperature of this flame is extremely high.

Yet it is very reserved and appears extremely docile.

"Hahahaha...Come on!"

Blackbeard laughed maniacally and launched an attack on Yakumo. For some reason... he felt an intense loathing just from one glance at the bright white flames burning on the blade.

The firelight flickered, like flowers dancing in the wind.

Yakumo swung his Demon-Slaying Thorn into the darkness beneath his feet. A black carpet formed from the Dark-Dark Fruit retreated at a visible speed, and Blackbeard's expression turned grim.

This is restraint.

That bright white flame restrained the Dark Fruit!

After all... light overcomes darkness.

"Dark water!"

Blackbeard crossed his arms and flung out a cross-shaped jet of black liquid that flew toward Yakumo at incredible speed, while the surroundings gradually darkened.

shuh…

Yakumo lightly swung his right arm.

The demon-subduing slash left a white trail of fire in the void.

Light and darkness annihilate each other.

After the initial probing, the two entered another tense close-quarters combat phase. The bright white blade easily cut through the darkness created by Blackbeard, and the bright white flames could even counteract the gravity brought by the dark water.

The two were like two extremes. Blackbeard's aura grew increasingly dark and sinister, while Yakumo was magnificent and imposing, his twin blades, burning with the fire of the sun, weaving a bright white net.

In fact, it is tempered by holy light.

It can only last for... fifteen minutes!

Blackbeard's curtain of black smoke was sliced ​​open by the bright white blade, and even the black smoke on his body was tinged with bright white flames.

The two sides clashed violently.

Yakumo strolled along, his swordplay becoming increasingly natural.

However, Yakumo was still at a disadvantage. Even though the Dark-Dark Fruit was temporarily countered, Blackbeard's physical abilities were far superior to Yakumo's, and his attacks often carried a tremendous force that Yakumo could not withstand.

"Rebellion - Shaking Blade!"

This is a defensive technique that uses borrowed force, dissipates force, and neutralizes force. Yakumo relied on this technique in his battle against Blackbeard.

Another wave crashed in from afar, forcing Blackbeard to unleash black smoke to defend himself. But in that moment of distraction, Yakumo successfully triggered the Shadow Slash... The short blade, burning with the fire of the sun, directly ignored Armament Haki and sliced ​​through Blackbeard's flesh.

The sun's fire scorched Blackbeard's body.

Thick black smoke surged towards the flames, and the two clashed fiercely, eventually extinguishing the flames with the black smoke.

When darkness is powerful enough, it can also suppress light. The two are like opposite poles, constantly fighting and annihilating each other, unable to merge.

"It hurts...it hurts so much!"

Blackbeard's lips curled into a cruel smile, and his large hand, shrouded in black smoke, reached directly for Yakumo's chest.

Crossed blades, a temporary defense.

With a loud bang.

A giant hand slammed onto the blade, causing black smoke and flames to mingle.

The terrifying violence immediately surged into Yakumo's body through the blade, forcing him to stagger back dozens of steps.

Yakumo spat out a mouthful of blood, which contained many black lines—the darkness that had invaded his body. Blackbeard's Devil Fruit ability was truly all-pervasive.

If this continues, Yakumo will become increasingly weak until he is completely defeated by Blackbeard. This is Blackbeard's fighting style: gradually weakening and tormenting powerful enemies, and finally easily crushing their bones.

"Hehehehe..."

"I really want to crush your bones with my own hands."

"No, no, no..."

"Your eyes are beautiful too. They should be gouged out and sealed before crushing the bones."

Blackbeard yelled, trying to break down Yakumo's psychological defenses through verbal provocation, a tactic he often used.

"Holy Light - Radiance!"

With a soft shout, the bright white runes on the blade burst forth with white light, gradually spreading outwards. The air became slightly distorted, and golden arcs of electricity took shape.

The strong winds helped it!

With thunder as its body and the fire of the sun as its blade.

At this moment, a giant sword about two meters long appeared!

Yakumo instantly adjusted his breathing, took two steps forward to face Blackbeard's massive body...

Blackbeard's muscles rapidly engorged with blood, and his two hearts roared like engines running at full power.

"Dark acupoints!"

The surrounding black smoke instantly boiled, surging towards Yakumo's body like ocean waves, obscuring the sky and sun, vaguely resembling a ferocious beast about to swallow Yakumo whole.

“Return to the source”.

A double-edged horizontal slash, alternating between feints and real attacks.

In an instant... it becomes light.

Flames burned, twin blades crossed... like claws tearing open the gaping maw of black smoke before him. Yakumo pushed off with his feet, taking another step forward. The two radiant greatswords... left straight dotted lines in the air, slashing toward Blackbeard's neck.

Blackbeard smiled and turned slightly to the side.

A simple movement, yet it caused Yakumo's attack to miss.

At that moment, Blackbeard clenched his fist and slammed it towards Yakumo.

However, under Blackbeard's gaze, Yakumo suddenly withdrew his two powerful slashes and dodged Blackbeard's heavy punch.

This is just a feint.

The double blades immediately changed direction and slashed towards the chest.

Black smoke clung to Blackbeard's chest, forming a defense resembling armor. Blue light shone from the surface of the Demon-Subduing Blade, and spell-breaking incantations were chanting.

Yakumo swung his arms with all his might, his eyes sharp as blades. This strike... would decide the outcome!

The black smoke was cut open, and Blackbeard tried to block it, but the seawater beneath his feet surged wildly in an instant. Although the seawater was absorbed by the black smoke beneath his feet, it instantly disrupted Blackbeard's balance.
