The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

However, Luffy at this moment had no intention of giving his enemies time to be surprised or adapt.

"Rubber, rubber..."

Luffy's voice rang out, and his body began to expand rapidly!

Arms, legs, torso... instantly and insanely grew larger!

In the blink of an eye, a colossal white rubber giant, towering to the sky and standing on the ground, suddenly appeared on the shore!

A massive shadow instantly enveloped the Blackbeard Pirates and the area they were in!

“A giant… a giant?!” Burgess looked up, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit his fist.

"What kind of weird ability is this?!" Van Augur instinctively raised his sniper rifle, but didn't know where to aim.

Samuel's eyes behind the mask were filled with horror: "Even his body shape can change so freely?!"

Blackbeard's arrogance vanished completely, replaced by shock: "What...what a joke?!"

Luffy looked down at Blackbeard's crew, who resembled ants below, and locked onto his target.

Then, it moved.

There are no complicated moves, just the simplest and most brutal... using both hands.

Like two giant white doors, it swept horizontally across the area where Blackbeard and his men were gathered!

"Rubber Giant Sweeper!"

boom!!!!!!

Before the hand even arrived, the hurricane it stirred up had already whipped up a layer of sand, sending pebbles flying everywhere!

The Blackbeard Pirates had no time to organize an effective defensive or evasive formation!

"Scatter!!" Blackbeard only managed to let out a distorted roar.

Immediately afterwards, everyone was swept away like bowling pins!

Bages was the first to be hit, struck by a palm strike, and screamed as he flew like a cannonball into the distant forest.

Van Augur attempted to teleport, but the giant hand covered too much area, and the aftershock still hit him, sending him flying and tumbling through the air.

Samuel was surrounded by green light as he tried to defend himself, but faced with absolute power, he and his protective gear were sent flying and crashed into a pile of rocks.

Kuzan reacted the fastest, instantly transforming his body into an elemental form just before the giant hand reached him, thus avoiding a direct impact.

Shiryu was already seriously injured and unable to dodge. He barely managed to raise his sword to parry, but he and his sword were slammed into the sand.

Blackbeard himself, caught off guard by the giant hand's sweeping attack, couldn't fully muster his strength, and the impact of the giant hand was simply too terrifying.

"Ugh!!"

He was struck squarely in the side, his body swaying like an insect hit by a giant fly swatter.

He flew diagonally into the air, spitting out blood, the excruciating pain causing his vision to go black.

The formation collapsed instantly!

The Blackbeard Pirates' proud core members were swept away by Luffy, the rubber giant, with an unreasonable sweeping attack.

They were scattered and sent flying in different directions, unable to support each other for a short period of time!

And just as Blackbeard was swept away and his body was airborne, Luffy didn't waste the perfect opportunity.

The rubber giant in mid-air suddenly shrank!

Almost in the blink of an eye, it returned to its normal fifth gear form.

Immediately after landing, it bounced up from the bouncy ground, overtaking Blackbeard who was flying backwards in mid-air in an instant!

The person was in the air, their body spinning at high speed like a top.

The right leg was stretched back to its limit, and the powerful aura of the flowing infant instantly covered the entire right leg.

The centrifugal force generated by rotation is perfectly combined with the elastic potential energy accumulated by stretching!

"Rubber, rubber..."

Luffy's voice, accompanied by a spinning whoosh, reached Blackbeard's ears.

"Wait, wait a minute! You bastard!!"

"White Whip!"

"Whoosh—Bang!!!"

The hardened rubber right leg, like a white steel whip, spun at high speed.

With a speed beyond the limits of visual perception, it struck Blackbeard hard in the waist and abdomen!

"Puwa!!!"

Blackbeard's eyes bulged out, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

Blackbeard didn't even have time to scream before he fled towards the depths of the island, far from the coast.

A single whip lashes away from the battlefield!

Chapter 663 Luffy vs. Teach

The core area of ​​Egghead Island is flat land.

With a loud bang, Blackbeard's body fell to the ground.

They plowed out a deep trench tens of meters long before finally stopping.

"Ugh... Ah...!!!"

Blackbeard curled up on the ground, letting out screams and groans of extreme pain.

He covered his waist and abdomen with both hands, where Luffy's "white whip" had struck him.

The strange properties of the Dark-Dark Fruit have side effects.

While absorbing damage, you will suffer double the pain!

Luffy's "white whip," imbued with top-tier Armament Haki, was already terrifying in its power.

At this moment, all the pain within Blackbeard's body erupted and raged with double the intensity!

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

"You bastard!!!"

Blackbeard's face was contorted in pain, so much so that he could barely think and could only roll on the ground, howling in agony.

However, the damage absorption properties of the Dark-Dark Fruit quickly took effect, and the pain began to gradually lessen (or rather, adapt) after lasting for more than ten seconds.

Just then, a graceful figure, accompanied by white awakened flames, landed in front of Blackbeard.

Luffy, in Gear 5 form, with white hair and eyebrows, surrounded by wisps of white awakened flames, quietly watches Blackbeard struggling on the ground.

Blackbeard, panting and struggling, propped himself up with his arms, looked up, and saw Luffy's strange posture.

"Thief...thief hahaha..."

"Your fruit... looks... really good!"

Blackbeard licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze fixed intently on Luffy.

"If it succeeds, it seems that even without using it, the World Government will have to pay a huge price!"

"Is that so?" Luffy's voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

I don't understand the underlying meaning of Blackbeard's words—his covetousness of the "Nika" Devil Fruit.

But you can clearly feel the other party's disgusting malice.

"Right now, all I want to do is beat you up."

"Beat me up? Hahahaha!!"

"Your brother Ace... back then, he was just like you, yelling that he wanted to capture me..."

"But did he tell you..." Blackbeard's smile turned sinister.

"How did he lose to me back then?!"

"Oh?! I forgot, he didn't have a chance to tell you, zehahaha!"

"But now you have a chance to see him!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Blackbeard suddenly raised his left hand!

The entire left arm, from shoulder to fingertips, was instantly covered by a deep, viscous, pitch-black darkness that seemed to devour all light!

In the palm of his hand, a miniature black hole, constantly rotating and emitting a terrifying suction force, suddenly appeared!

The space around the black hole is slightly distorted, as if light is being swallowed up by it!

The Dark-Dark Fruit power is activated.

"Dark water!!!"

This move can be considered one of the most core and most shameless abilities of the Dark-Dark Fruit!

It can generate absolute gravity that ignores distance and rules!

No matter how far away the opponent is, no matter how fast the opponent is (even Kizaru, who possesses the speed of light, theoretically cannot escape his lock-on),

They will all be forcibly pulled over by the gravity of this black hole!

Blackbeard used this same sneak attack during the Mother Spark incident.

Enel, a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user with incredible speed, was pulled down from mid-air.

This ensured that the opponent could neither pull nor escape from the beginning, thus securing the victory!

"Come here, you son of a bitch!!!" Blackbeard grinned maliciously, pointing the black hole in his palm at Luffy!

An irresistible, terrifying suction force originating from the rules descended upon Luffy in an instant!

"Huh?! What is this?!" Luffy's pupils contracted slightly.

"I got sucked in!!!"

Luffy felt an immense, indescribable power erupting from the black hole in Blackbeard's palm.

He forcibly dragged his body and flew towards Blackbeard!

"This is terrible, absolutely terrible!"

Luffy reacts extremely quickly, his superhuman rubber body and fighting instincts in Gear 5 allowing him to react instantly.

Both feet planted firmly on the ground, the homogeneous rubberized surface providing support.

At the same time, both hands shot out with lightning speed, each grabbing one of the two huge, hard metal fragments beside them and turning them into homogenous rubber.

The arm was instantly stretched!

In addition, the metal fragments are homogenized into rubber, preventing them from breaking.

In an instant, Luffy's arms were stretched to an astonishing length, like two incredibly strong white rubber bands!

The body was pulled forward by the suction, and the feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground.

But thanks to the amazing resilience of its rubber body, it temporarily withstood the pulling of the "dark water"!

At the same time, the person was stretched into an exaggerated "T" shape, with both arms stretched to their limit.

His body was suspended in the suction field, locked in a stalemate with the black hole in Blackbeard's palm.

"As long as... I catch you... that's all..." Blackbeard thought to himself as he watched this scene, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

He knew all too well the power of "Dark Water" combined with another property of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

If the other party is a Devil Fruit user, their Devil Fruit ability will instantly become ineffective once they come into contact with the black hole created by "Dark Water"!

At the same time, the Dark-Dark Fruit can also absorb (devour) the fruit attacks launched by the opponent (although it can only absorb attacks within a small range).

As long as Luffy is pulled in and touched by him...

No matter how bizarre Nika's form or how peculiar his rubber abilities, they will immediately become ineffective!

At that time, Luffy will just be a strong fighter with powerful physical skills and Haki, no longer the "monster" who can assimilate and freely transform!
