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

Its feet transformed into giant suction cups, firmly adhering to the surface of the boulder.

Then, he leaned back, grabbed the edge of the boulder with both hands, and began to stretch and compress his muscles and rubber fibers to the limit!

"Rubber rubber... Super slingshot!"

Luffy, let go!

The elastic potential energy compressed to its limit is released instantly!

He was like a human-shaped cannonball launched from a giant slingshot, hurtling towards Blackbeard at a speed several times faster than the previous "Nika Slingshot"!

In mid-air, Luffy looked up and saw the dense dark clouds and flashing lightning that had gathered above the island due to the previous tremors and battle.

Nika's "imagination" has been unleashed once again!

"Ah! I've got it!"

With a joyful shout, he reached out and grabbed at the sky with his bare hands while flying at high speed!

Sizzle!!

A massive, incredibly thick bolt of lightning was caught in Luffy's palm from the dark clouds!

"Accept!"

Luffy pulled his arm back, mimicking a javelin-throwing motion, releasing the highly compressed, crackling, terrifying lightning bolt in his palm.

He hurled it fiercely towards Blackbeard's position below!

"Rubber Thunder Spear!!"

The lightning spear tore through the air, aiming straight for Blackbeard!

Faced with this unbelievable feat of "catching lightning and throwing spears with bare hands," Blackbeard's expression darkened even more.

But he did not dodge.

"Your Devil Fruit ability is so captivating!! Straw Hat Boy!"

Blackbeard's left palm reappeared with a black hole, and Dark Water was activated, aimed at the incoming lightning spear!

The natural lightning, powerful enough to destroy a town, was completely swallowed and absorbed the moment it touched the black hole, without even causing a ripple!

At the same time, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit power of his right hand erupted once again, shattering the atmosphere and blocking all possible paths from which Luffy was launching his projectile attack!

He wants Luffy to suffer a double blow from gravitational distortion and spatial tearing during his high-speed dash!

But Luffy's attack is not over yet!

Or rather, the lightning spear attack just now was merely a feint!

"Rubber, rubber..."

While suspended in mid-air, Luffy, disturbed by the dual force fields, suddenly stretched his arms backward at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, rubbing against each other.

The next second, blazing flames actually burst forth from nowhere on his fist!

His fists transformed into two blazing fireballs, trailing long flames, and crashed down towards Blackbeard!

The light of the flames even temporarily dispelled the surrounding darkness!

"Inferno Pistol!"

"Flames? Zehahaha!!"

Blackbeard roared, neither dodging nor avoiding, and opened his left hand again, releasing an expanded version of the Dark Water Domain!

The darkness formed a huge vortex, heading towards the two "fire meteors"!

"You're just as stupid as your brother Ace!!!"

Darkness engulfed everything, and the flames vanished instantly.

"A foolish decision. Trying to use Ace's fire abilities, what are they trying to say? Hehehe..."

Blackbeard was smug, but then...

Those two fiery fists, which should have been devoured by the "dark acupoints" and theoretically disappeared or neutralized...

Surprisingly... from the edge of the black hole in Blackbeard's left palm, which was maintaining the "dark pressure point"...

Strangely, defying common sense... it "penetrated" through!

No, it's not penetration!

It's more like the "process" or "concept" itself being devoured, twisted and toyed with by some higher-level force!

"What?!" Blackbeard's smug expression instantly turned into utter shock and bewilderment!

He had no time to react and couldn't understand what was happening at all!

The rubber fist, undeterred by any setback, was solid and unpretentious.

Once again, it slammed hard into Blackbeard's already battered face!

"Ugh!!!"

The familiar excruciating pain, the familiar being thrown backward, the familiar screams!

Blackbeard was blasted away like a sack of potatoes for the third time, his face covered in blood and charred marks from the flames.

My head was buzzing; besides the pain, only one utterly absurd thought remained.

What the hell is this ability?!

Luffy landed steadily, flicked his wrist, and stared expressionlessly at Blackbeard, who had once again become a black dot on the horizon…

He started twisting his arms, making a "crackling" sound as the rubber stretched.

Clearly, he hadn't had enough.

And Blackbeard... never took it seriously.

Because someone like him would never reveal everything about himself to anyone!

........

Nika, the sun god, the warrior of liberation... the essence of his power may be the joyful mockery and free transcendence of all the "rules" and "common sense" of the world!

Luffy's imagination can have everything (this isn't an exaggeration by a lazy bum, but rather something Oda himself said: Nika is the gateway to fantasy).

And, cough cough! To put it bluntly, Luffy's smile is ridiculously cheesy, and Gear Fifth is strong enough.

Chapter 665 Tsk, the pathetic weakling.

Just as Blackbeard and Luffy were engaged in a fierce battle in the heart of the island...

Another relatively intact area was struck by Luffy's Gum-Gum Giant "Sweep."

The Blackbeard Pirates' officers were scattered in all directions.

They gradually struggled to their feet from their respective "landing points" and regrouped.

The first to join were Van Augur, Burgess, and Shiliu, whose chest was wrapped in a blood-soaked bandage, his face pale but his eyes still sinister.

The three stood on a half-collapsed building platform, gazing at the core battlefield in the distance, where muffled tremors continued to emanate. Their expressions were not good.

“Hey, Oka,” Burgess scratched his head, pointing to the exaggerated aftershocks of the battle.

"Judging from this commotion... could the captain really be no match for that straw hat kid?"

After all, he had personally witnessed Luffy's instant giant transformation.

The terrifying scene of slapping them all away.

I also felt Luffy's breathtaking Conqueror's Haki.

Although they had blind confidence in their captain's dual Devil Fruit abilities, they were also a little apprehensive at this moment.

Van Oka, clutching his signature long sniper rifle, stared blankly at the ground, his hand rubbing it...

He pulled back the bolt, producing a crisp "click" sound.

Seeing that he didn't know how to jam the cartridge, he replied in his usual calm tone.

"Captain Teach is quite strong."

With two Devil Fruit abilities, he's not so easy to defeat.

But then he changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over Bages and Shiliu: "However, now is not the time to watch the show."

"If there are no problems, we'd better go and provide support as soon as possible."

My Devil Fruit ability, Teleportation, can send all of us there together in a short time, as long as the coordinates are locked.

“That’s true!” Burgess nodded in agreement, stretching his still slightly numb shoulders. “Being alone isn’t a safe bet.”

"And this island... I always feel something's off about it, like there are eyes watching from the shadows."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Shiryu, who had been silent all along, only lighting a new cigar and putting it in his mouth.

"You agree, right, Shiryu?"

Keshiloh simply took a deep drag on his cigar, the tip glowing intermittently.

He did not respond to Burgess's words, and his face remained expressionless.

He looked lost in his own thoughts, or perhaps... weighing something.

Upon seeing this, Burgess's face flashed with embarrassment and displeasure, but he quickly put on a smile and said in an almost fawning tone...

"Hey, Shiryu, don't make that face!"

"I know you're in a bad mood. Just now, the Straw Hat crew's swordsman (Zoro) was rescued by that CP0 survivor..."

But don't rush! Once we help Captain Teach take down the Straw Hat Pirates, their entire pirate crew will be leaderless!

At that time, that green-headed swordsman, or rather, someone else...

You can do whatever you want with it! I'll definitely help you!

He tried to appease Shiliu with the promise of future "spoils of war," and also to show that everyone's interests were currently aligned.

Van Augur, standing to the side, observed both Burgess's eagerness and Shiliu's silence.

On that perpetually lifeless face, his brow furrowed slightly involuntarily.

He and Burgess were among the earliest members of the Blackbeard Pirates, having followed Blackbeard since Mock Town.

Along the way, we've traveled through Drum Kingdom, Skypiea, Impel Down, and the Marineford War...

Their "loyalty" to Blackbeard, or rather, their shared interests, are the strongest.

And Shiryu, along with the "cursed doctor" Samuel, and the former general Kuzan who had only recently joined...

These were all "recruited" by Blackbeard from Impel Down or obtained through subsequent "trades".

Their "loyalty" was based on Blackbeard's power, ambition, and the benefits he promised, and their attitude has always been rather ambiguous.

With Blackbeard himself present, his imposing presence and the intimidating power of his two Devil Fruit abilities would naturally allow him to subdue and command them.

But if Blackbeard is held back by Luffy alone, like now, and even seems to be at a disadvantage...

What do these "stronger" newcomers think?

Will they still be so "obedient"?

“Shiliu.” Van Augur broke his silence, turning his head to look at Shiliu, his voice icy.

They called out his name directly, trying to remind him to recognize the current situation and make a choice.

However, just as Van Oka finished speaking!

The first thing to return was not Shiryu's choice, but a flying slash that severed everything!

The slash shot out without warning from the shadows of the ruins to the side of the three people.

From a tricky angle, aim directly at the location where Van Auger and Burgess are!

Its speed and power far surpass those of ordinary great swordsmen!

"What the hell?!" Burgess reacted the fastest, after all, he was a melee tank.

He roared in shock and anger, his arm muscles instantly bulging.

He enveloped himself in Armament Haki, suddenly bent down, and slammed his fists into the ground beneath his feet.
