The Fires of Hell

Bernie Island, east.

"Hahahaha... Leiyin, I'll take your head!"

"Black Hole!"

Blackbeard pressed his palm against the ground and the black gas immediately covered Leiyin. Gradually, Leiyin disappeared into the black fog.

"Did... did you defeat him?"

Even Minhawk didn't quite believe what was happening in front of him. He looked left and right to search for traces of him.

These people all started to smell, but they didn't feel Leiyin's aura.

Was he dead?

Sakazuki clenched his fists, his face filled with unwillingness. "Hmph, he actually died just like that. He really let him off too easily."

"Ah, Blackbeard, the thing you created... really isn't ordinary black."

What?!

Before Sakazuki could finish his sentence, another voice sounded from the void. Suddenly, a figure appeared from Blackbeard's black energy and punched him in the chin.

"Woo!"

Blackbeard cried out in pain, blood flowed out from his mouth and nose, and one of his already sparse teeth was knocked out.

Because of the fruit, the price of double the pain made Blackbeard roll on the ground in pain.

The one who punched Blackbeard to the ground was none other than Leiyin.

Leiyin was indeed absorbed by Blackbeard's ability. After being absorbed, Leiyin felt as if he was in an endless dark void. He couldn't see his fingers when he stretched out his hand. It was so dark that he had no sense of direction to speak of.

Leiyin had the space movement technique [Flying Thunder God Second Step], and he also had a powerful Kenbunshoku Haki. In addition, with Blackbeard's ability to control the fruit, he couldn't immediately close the black hole, so he couldn't let Leiyin fall into the dark void he created.

The reason why people couldn't feel Leiyin's aura was because he was in the darkness that Blackbeard released. Moreover, he also said that he deliberately concealed a lot of his powerful aura, so he almost couldn't feel his existence at that time.

Of course, this was all part of Leiyin's plan.

Leiyin only wanted to see what the darkness created by [Yami Yami no Mi] was like.

"You bastard brat! It hurts so much!"

Blackbeard held his chin as he wiped the blood from his mouth and nose. He looked extremely miserable.

Minhawk crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Leiyin thoughtfully.

The Rear Admiral on the side couldn't help but shout, "Hey! Isn't [Yami Yamo no Mi] able to make the abilities of other fruits ineffective? What is going on with this guy?"

Many people came back to their senses after hearing the words of the Rear Admiral.

That's right, isn't Leiyin an ability user of the [Exchange Devil Fruit]? He is actually unaffected by the [Yami Yami no Mi] that can almost restrain all fruits.

Is this guy really invincible?

This strange ability caused everyone present to gasp.

Of course, only Leiyin knew the reason behind it.

As for Sakazuki, he didn't think too much about it. His left arm continued to grow bigger and bigger. Lava dripped on the ground and burned small holes in the ground. "Ryusei Kazan!"

His left arm quickly turned into a red hot fire dragon and went straight for Leiyin's face. Smoker's right arm also turned into smoke and attacked the other side of Leiyin. The other navy generals and the Seven Warlords of the Sea also displayed their abilities and blocked all the paths in Leiyin's direction.

Seeing this, Leiyin quickly made a hand seal and a wooden dragon covered in thorns suddenly appeared.

"Wood Release - Wood Dragon Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge wooden dragon came out of the ground. After a thunderous roar, it went straight for Sakazuki.

In this way, Sakazuki's Magma Dragon and Leiyin's Wood Dragon collided. When the Wood Dragon was almost completely destroyed, the momentum of the Magma Dragon's attack also weakened a lot.

Taking advantage of this gap, Leiyin moved his mind, and another [Flying Thunder God Second Step] instantly moved out of everyone's sight.

When Leiyin appeared again, he was already behind Sakazuki, and the armed black hand instantly smashed toward Sakazuki's side abdomen.

Sakazuki seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned around, but it was too late. With a scream, he was hit on the side abdomen by Leiyin, and was beaten back seven or eight steps.

"Brat, you better stop before you go too far."

Sakazuki, who had received Leiyin's attack, had already become somewhat livid. He fiercely looked at the little ghost in front of him that was almost pressing down on everyone. His body gradually became bigger, becoming red, and gradually became a red-colored monster that was covered in high temperature. Although he was a distance away, he could still feel the scorching air he emitted.

"Meigo!"

Like a ghost god that had been baptized by the flames of hell, Sakazuki bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it approached Leiyin.
