Boom——!!!
Amidst the earth-shattering collision sounds, a powerful shockwave swept across the sea, triggering hundred-meter-high tsunami waves, countless massive water columns shot skyward.
The whole Colombia Island began to tremble violently, and the remaining half of the fortress building at G-14 Branch finally reached its limit, collapsing completely with a loud boom.
The marines were so frightened they trembled, lying down on the ground, afraid to move.
Just having finished evacuating his subordinates, confirming there were no casualties, Vice Admiral Dor had just relaxed when he saw this scene, his pupils constricted immediately, he hurriedly took out the Radio Snail to call Headquarters for help.
...
The sea.
Ripples continued to resonate, but the turbulent tsunami had already ceased.
Amidst the sound of waves.
Blackbeard had already reverted to human form, spread out and lying on the sea surface, his arms and legs shattered, blood continuously flowing from mouth and nose.
His consciousness was blurred, the large area contact with seawater by the Devil Fruit Ability User exacerbated the feeling of weakness and fatigue.
Yet the instinct to survive prompted him to keep struggling, trying to get up.
"Thief... hahahaha..." Blackbeard managed a difficult grin, showing bloodstained teeth, "I... can still move, then there's still... there's still a chance..."
"Sorry, there aren't any."
Shano descended from the sky, landed steadily before him, and spoke indifferently.
He slowly drew the Tachi Masamune behind him, the blade reflecting a cold glint in the sunlight.
It made Blackbeard's heart tremble, a wave of unprecedented despair and fear surged up.
"No, no no no..." He was tearful and trembling, stretching out a hand, "Hey, wait... Shano, we don't have any deep enmity, right? I can help you, help you deal with Whitebeard... help you replace him as the strongest Sea Emperor..."
"A true and pure villain."
Shano shook his head slightly, not even interested in responding.
Swoosh!
The blade flashed.
The slender sword blade plunged into Blackbeard's chest, stirred around, and Blackbeard's body went rigid instantly, pupils lost focus, staring dumbly at the sky.
Dead?
Is this the so-called representative of pirate heroism?
Shano drew the tachi out with disappointment.
Sand Crocodile, Doflamingo... even that Tyrannosaurus Hanafuda knew to use every tactic, fought desperately before death, then faced death calmly.
Yet this guy, despite having Vice Emperor Level strength, didn't have the slightest thought of resisting from start to finish.
Faced with death, he even cried endlessly, pleaded desperately, even tried to betray the father who adopted him for years again...
Boring.
What heroism.
Just a clown.
Shano remembered something, flicked Masamune, casually opened his chest again, took a look.
Lo and behold, there were indeed three hearts, the one at a normal human's position was crushed to pieces, beyond recognition, but the other two were still, silently beating with a barely noticeable rhythm...
If not for his outstanding static vision capability, he might have overlooked it at first glance.
Is this why he can consume multiple Devil Fruits?
He didn't hesitate, directly crushed these two hearts with the sword too, feeling insecure, simply swung a flying cut to decapitate Blackbeard.
Finally, opened the Living Map, quickly searched for the name Teach.
After seeing "No results found" pop up, he finally relaxed completely.
Swoosh!
Shaking the blade, flicked away bloodstains, sheathed it.
Clown or not, this guy is ultimately a plane son like Nika, supposedly bearing some nonsensical destiny.
Fully eradicated, naturally it must be done thoroughly to be reliable.
From this world, no more Blackbeard.
Shano glanced at the headless body one last time.
With this, the top wouldn't likely happen again, after all, the event's source was already cut off by him.
Even in the worst case, if the so-called top really happens, the leading actor and script would change, Whitebeard won't rescue Ace, only for Ace to throw his life away.
Funny, really.
In the original timeline.
Both threatened the World Government, famous for a generation of Great Pirates.
Rocks's son, treacherous, ruthless, could transform into a Seven Warlords of the Sea, attend meetings at Navy Headquarters, roam Impel Down.
While Roger's son, apart from being dumb and reckless, the worst thing he did was dine and dash, yet was pushed onto the execution platform, heart pierced by a punch.
By comparison.
Quite ironic.
...
"More ironic is you, Sengoku."
Shano turned around, looked up at the colossal Buddha opposite and spoke calmly, "I said before, the ones I wish to kill, you can't stop. You didn't believe it then, and now?"
Last time with Hancock, what I showed was merely a small-scale feat, this time is all-out, the first true display of this Fist Technique Finishing Skill's might.
Moreover, this skill inherently possesses the characteristic of "the larger the physique, the greater the damage," which is specifically equipped for opposing the colossal Buddha form.
Therefore.
Even with a robust physique like Sengoku, he still suffered significant internal injuries, clutching his chest, took a while to catch his breath, during that time, couldn't free his hand to obstruct Shano's execution of Blackbeard.
Of course.
This is only a temporary suppression, thinking to defeat Sengoku easily is impossible.
This old man perhaps spends too much time at the office, rarely fights on the battlefield, indeed his strength declines faster than Garp.
But ultimately, solid General Emperor Level.
