*BOOM!*
Suddenly, Teach's aura changed dramatically, and all the tree needles flew from his body. Also, along with the needles, a strange reddish substance escaped from his body, which quickly returned back. It gave me goosebumps, it was definitely not a part of Teach's body. So eerie and dark, like ... a demon.
- Ze-ha-ha-ha! Damn bastards, you didn't think you would kill me so easily ?! Teach shouted furiously. Even his voice changed slightly, it was even more disgusting than usual.
Now there is no trace of his former aura, he seemed to have awakened something in himself. But this is something inhuman, it vaguely resembled an aura of devil fruit energy. But it was definitely different ...
- Pha! Damn old man, now you get it! Graaa! Teach charged at Sargon and attacked. His speed was not the same as before, and something dark red covered his fists. Even his eyes were completely crimson, he no longer looked like that asshole Teach. His strength has increased immensely ...
*Boom!*
This time, Sargon blocked the blow, transforming his arm into a thick wooden shield. But this only delayed Teach for a moment, after which his fist slammed into the old man's body.
*Boom!*
From this blow, Sargon flew several tens of meters and destroyed several ice hills. His aura had noticeably weakened, even his logic was powerless against this strange power on Blackbeard's fist. It wasn't Haki, but something else with a similar effect.
* Vshuh *
I instantly moved to Sargon and said:
- Take the cat and leave, this will lead you to the team. - I handed him the vivre card and stared at Teach.
Sargon slowly got up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking at the grinning Teach, and then at me, he nodded.
- Understood the captain.
* Vshuh *
Then he took the cat and began to quickly leave the fifth floor. Only Blackbeard and I remained here.
- For-ha-ha! You are strong, much stronger than I thought, but did you really think that I did not have a trump card?
I chuckled:
- And this is your trump card? I don't know where you got this thing, but even it won't help you.
- The creature ?! Heh, if I were you, I would hold my tongue. Maybe a bunch of idiots call you Sea Devil, but you're still far from a real demon!
"Oh, is that a demon?" Maybe he will show himself? I asked with a grin.
Teach chuckled.
- What? You want to know what it is, right? Ze-he-he-he, okay, I'll tell you so before you die. Once upon a time, I was a simple boy, but one day I came across a strange tree. It was there that I met him - Shaktora. This creature gave me a lot, knowledge, strength, even a purpose in life!
- I see, but in return?
- Ze-ha-ha, nothing at all, I just let him enter my body! A pitiful price to pay for such power and knowledge. Thanks to him, I learned where to find the strongest fruit, even how to get two fruits at once. Thanks to him ... I will become the Pirate King!
I sighed:
- I see, you can say you sold your soul to a demon, and it looks like a body too.
Teach snorted.
- Ugh! What do you know sucker ?! Nothing matters if you want to be the greatest. All this bullshit about good and bad is only good for a bunch of idiots. I will kill anyone, I will do anything, but I will fulfill my dream.
I took off my cloak and said:
- Maybe so ... - Darkness covered my left hand: - But whatever you do, the King of Pirates ... I will become!
*BOOM!*
My royal will swept through the area, and the forces of darkness and the energy of the stars gathered in both hands.
Teach exclaimed in surprise:
- D ... Two fruits ?! How?! How?!
It looks like his idea of the world has shaken a little, but he quickly came to his senses and nodded.
- Yes, I will kill him ... And I will take both fruits.
* Click * * Click *
I stretched my neck and said:
- Well, try...
* Vshuh * * Vshuh * * BAM! *
We both took off and collided in the air. The shock wave from the blow of two fists spread out tens of meters, and the ground beneath us sagged slightly.
*Boom Boom Boom*
My fists covered with the power of two fruits collided with Teach's fists covered with incomprehensible power. This went on for about a minute, and then Teach's energy suddenly began to rise. He was already pretty worn out by our collision, while I was not particularly tense. His strength was still inferior to me ... But when his energy quickly began to grow, Blackbeard noticeably changed, even grew in height and his skin color became slightly reddish. He seemed to change gear and replenish all the fuel, then with even more force began to attack me.
Hmm, it looks like this creature is giving it its energy. But she can only enhance his physical performance, he does not have any special strength. He cannot even use his will, but only something similar. This energy, although it was similar to the energy of a fruit, but there was something wrong in it, but I still could not understand that ... He is still human, but it is not known how much this creature can enhance him, so it is time to stop the exchange of blows and start a serious battle. I didn't count on a simple battle, this creature definitely has a lot more strength, I will try to finish everything faster. I think after Teach dies, it must either die or become very weak. Otherwise, he simply would not need to coexist with Blackbeard.
* Bam * * Vshuuh *
Having collided again, I moved farther, and then gathered all the power of the stellar fog.
* Hoo hoo *
The fog took the form of several blades and flew towards Teach.
Blackbeard snorted and just stood in place, not moving.
* Bach * bach * bach *
All the blades hit right on target and Blackbeard was visibly wounded. Several deep cuts appeared on his body, and blood quickly flowed out of them. But suddenly his aru began to intensify again, but much stronger this time. The skin began to cover with dark patterns and cover his arms and legs. He had already grown to the size of a giant, so all his clothes were completely torn. It was a rather unpleasant sight ... It was also unpleasant that all his wounds on his body quickly healed. When he finally finished growing, he was about the size of Oars Jr. It made me get even more serious, the battle will probably be much more difficult than I thought.
Teach looked down at me and laughed in his nasty voice.
- Ze-ha-ha-ha! Sea Devil, you should have let me go, but since you decided to stop me, you have to kill you! With this power ... - Teach looked at his huge hand and grinned: - I'm invincible!
