Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

At this moment, three figures landed on the roof above his head.

"-Oh! Usopp."

Luffy jumped down with a smile, raised his hand and patted Usopp's shoulder.

"Are you okay? You look fine."

"Of course. How could the other party possibly be my opponent?"

Usopp raised the corner of his mouth, showing off his biceps and patting them proudly.

"By the way, Usopp, have you seen where Blackbeard and the others went?"

"They~"

Usopp turned around and looked towards the east coast, and said to Luffy with an uncertain look:

"If I sensed correctly just now, they should have teleported in that direction."

"Teleport? Do they still have this ability? Could they have escaped?"

Sanji frowned when he heard this.

It is not a good thing to leave such a time bomb that threatens their lives on the sea.

Sanji complained and cursed at Reiner.

"It's all your fault, you idiot, for making such a big noise. Now we're in trouble. You almost blew us away too."

"Well, it's okay, isn't it? I didn't expect the full-strength explosion to be so powerful."

Reiner shrugged.

The Explosion Fruit is really wasted in Mr. 5's hands. He still can't understand why it is used to shoot boogers.

Although the upper limit of this fruit in his hands is basically this, because he is not the user of this ability, Reiner cannot deeply develop the additional abilities.

The reason why it is so powerful is that it relies on its stronger physical strength. Otherwise, if it develops a nuclear explosion that can cause a fusion-fission reaction, it will directly turn this island into a dead place.

"No, it seems his ability isn't enough to move such a long distance. If we want to leave this island, we'll have to rely on a boat."

At this moment, Usopp gave a timely reminder.

"Is that so? Let's go then."

Luffy nodded, and the three of them looked at each other and immediately set off towards the east coast.

"Hey! Wait for me, otherwise!"

Usopp shouted hurriedly, but seeing that he might not be able to catch up with the three of them, he paused and continued shouting:

"Then I won't go! Good luck, Luffy!"

Not a moment.

Reiner and the other two soon saw Van Oka fleeing with Teach on his back in the square in front of the shore.

Perhaps his physical strength was almost exhausted, and the opponent did not use teleportation to create distance. Luffy glared angrily, switched on fourth gear, and rushed forward first.

"Don't run, asshole!!"

"You caught up so quickly? Damn it!"

Teach gritted his teeth and turned back, staring at Luffy and the other two who were chasing him.

Van Oka's teleportation delayed him for some time before he finally recovered from his injuries. However, when he thought about how he had suffered at the hands of Reiner in just a few encounters, he was still a little scared to go back and continue fighting.

Although the Dark-Dark Fruit can temporarily seal the opponent's abilities, it can only take effect if it directly touches the opponent.

However, Reiner, who possesses various undead spirits, has too many tricks up his sleeve. After just a few fights, Teach realized that this is almost impossible to do.

"It's not enough. Only two abilities are not enough."

Tiqi said in a cold voice with a sullen face.

The destructive power is enough to rely on the Corrosion Fruit. He has already developed both close combat, long-range, and even large-scale moves.

But to restrain the enemy, the Dark-Dark Fruit alone may not be enough.

or.

As he passed by an icy street, Teach caught a glimpse of a huge ice pit in the distance, with a figure lying motionless in it.

Although he had already set his sights on the location of the third fruit, staying alive was more important than anything else now, especially since the other party's abilities were not bad either.

"Take me over there!"

Teach's mouth curled up grimly, a sinister idea immediately came to his mind, and he pointed to the location of the ice pit and asked in a low voice.

"Although the distance is a bit far, can you do it?"

Looking in the direction he pointed, Fan Oka couldn't help but frown:

"I see, it should work. I'll try it."

He responded calmly, and Fan Oka glanced at Tiqi intentionally or unintentionally, with mixed feelings.

When he met Kuzan before, he also thought that Teach would take away his ability, but the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Not only did Teach not take action, he even took the initiative to invite the other party on board. What was even more unexpected was that Aokiji actually agreed.

At the beginning, everyone was afraid. After all, they were facing a former navy admiral. Regardless of his strength or status, they had to be wary of Kuzan.

But no one disobeyed Teach's behavior. On the contrary, they got along surprisingly well later on.

Although Kuzan did not approve of many of their actions, especially their attitude towards civilians, he never had any conflicts with others and could even be said to have gotten along well with them.

But Fan Oka knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, Kuzan had never been incompatible with them, and even he himself might not be aware of it.

Are we finally going to take action against him?

call out.

Before Luffy's fist arrived, Van Oka used his ability again to bring Teach to an ice-blue street.

"Hahahaha! As expected of a former admiral, this scene is shocking no matter how many times I watch it!"

As soon as he landed, Teach looked around at the snow and ice and laughed wildly.

boom.

On the side, Fan Oka's legs went weak and he knelt on one knee, panting heavily. After several consecutive long-distance teleportations, his physical strength was almost at its limit.

"Hey, how are you? Can you still use your abilities?"

Seeing this, Teach spoke up hurriedly.

I don't know whether she is concerned about his situation or whether she is concerned about whether he can use his ability to save the other person from danger at the critical moment.

Fan Oka raised his hand, clenched his fist, and shook his head.

"I'm afraid my teleportation ability won't be usable for a while. Shooting is fine, so I'll go find a sniper position first."

Next, we can only hope that Teach can lead Kuzan to a desperate counterattack after seizing his power. Van Oka stood up and prepared to leave.

At this time.

A sudden sneer from behind him made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

"Is that so? Then I'm relieved. Let me use the teleportation ability."

"!!!"

Hearing the voice, Fan Oka's face changed and he turned around suddenly.

"Dark Water!!"

Teach's eyes flashed a ferocious red light, and he had actually already pointed his palm at him, releasing a powerful gravitational force!

Fan Oka's eyes were filled with fear, and he flew uncontrollably towards the other party's hand.

"Wait a minute, Teach! Admiral, no, why!!"

"Of course it's because the chances of winning are higher this way! We can't do this without Kuzan's help, thief hahaha!"

Teach frowned, grabbed Fan Oka's throat with his left hand, and punched him in the abdomen with his right fist.

boom!

"Pfft-!"

In severe pain, Fan Oka spurted blood from his mouth, his expression agonized. The sniper rifle fell out of his hand with a "crack!" and landed on the ice.

It was not until then that Fan Oka finally reacted.

Teach asked him to bring him here not to seize Kuzan's Freeze-Freeze Fruit, but to consume his last bit of physical strength to prevent him from teleporting away when he attacks.

From the beginning, Teach's goal was himself!!

"This is fate, Fan Oka."

"Hahaha!!"

A large amount of black mist immediately surged out of Teach's palm, and a ball of deep darkness quickly engulfed the opponent's body completely!

Chapter 384 The Second Battle of Marineford

The entrance to the new world, the headquarters of the navy, New Marineford is as peaceful as usual. Standing on the calm sea, this steel fortress is like a hegemon majestically surveying his territory.

……

"It's rare that you're determined to go to war with the Straw Hat Pirates."

The breeze gently lifted the milky white gauze curtains, and sunlight shone through the half-open glass window onto the brown wooden desk. Stacks of white paper documents were neatly stacked on the corner of the desk, and there was only a telephone in the middle of the empty desk.

A burly man in a red suit leaned back in his chair, chewing on a cigar. Sakaski spoke in a low voice, looking at the randomly placed Den Den Mushi with a hint of contempt.

"I thought you had been sitting high and mighty for too long and had forgotten the turbulence of the ocean."

"Don't say that again, Sakaski. This operation is of great importance. As a naval admiral, you should also know that many things involved are more complicated than you think."

"Vegapunk holds a vital position to the World Government and the entire world. His dangerous ideas must be completely eradicated, and no force can interfere with this plan."

The person on the other end of the line didn't show any anger at his words. His tone was calm, as if he was just informing rather than negotiating:

"Hive Island hasn't sent back accurate intelligence yet. To be on the safe side, the Navy will begin deploying troops in advance. This time, I'll give you permission to dispatch troops freely. The Navy's operations are now in your hands."
