"It hurts, it hurts... it hurts, it hurts... damn it..."
Blackbeard, who had flown more than a thousand meters, rolled continuously on the special floor tiles created by the Float-Float Fruit after landing on the ground, letting out miserable cries of pain.
Thick black smoke surged out from his body, covering the wound on his chest which had not been cut open by Divine Departure, but had only left a red mark full of bruising.
A few seconds later, Blackbeard finally stopped his cries of pain, which were completely unbecoming of a pirate emperor.
Then, covered in sweat and panting heavily, he stood up from the ground.
Touching the wound that had disappeared from his body, Blackbeard looked at Shanks a thousand meters ahead and revealed a weak smile, "Zehahaha... truly terrifying swordsmanship and Haki. I was almost done for."
"Then, now it's my turn..."
Blackbeard raised his palm, which was covered in thick black smoke, and shouted at Shanks from a thousand meters away: "Black Vortex!"
The next moment, Shanks's figure directly left the ground and flew towards Blackbeard at an extremely fast speed.
The Dark-Dark Fruit was the most special of the Logia Devil Fruits and was known as the most evil Devil Fruit in history.
Not only did it lack the most powerful elementalization of the Logia type, but it also had the double pain that other Logia users did not have.
Besides this, its ability was very singular, that was pure—darkness.
In this pirate world, the so-called darkness was—gravity.
Just as Blackbeard had said when he fought Ace.
The ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit was gravity that could pull everything in, even light and damage, and even the abilities of ability users were not spared.
So Blackbeard's Black Vortex was not only effective against ability users, but effective against everything.
Because the Dark-Dark Fruit could also be called the Gravity Fruit.
"Divine Departure!"
Shanks, who was being pulled by gravity, showed no change in expression.
When he was a few meters away from Blackbeard, he once again swung a dark red slash.
But this time, the Divine Departure that Shanks had learned from the Pirate King, Roger, could not ignore all defenses.
The principle of Divine Departure was a flying slash wrapped in unparalleled Haki and swung with equally unparalleled swordsmanship skills, capable of bypassing the opponent's weapon and directly hitting the enemy's body.
It was a slashing technique where the stronger the Haki and swordsmanship of the user, the stronger the power.
Just like the Dragon-Slaying Samurai Shimotsuki Ryuma hundreds of years ago, his sword draw was the same as Roger's Divine Departure.
No matter who the opponent was, they would be cut down in a flash.
If the person hit by this move could not get up, then the battle was over.
But this kind of move, against a super-powerhouse who was also an overlord, could only be effective once by taking advantage of the information gap.
If the first time couldn't end the battle, then don't expect to hit the enemy a second time.
Blackbeard was such an existence.
Looking at the dark red slash enlarging in his vision, Blackbeard raised his other hand and clenched his fist.
A transparent white halo symbolizing the strongest Paramecia immediately appeared on Blackbeard's fist.
Crack—!
After condensing the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Blackbeard smashed his fist towards the dark red slash.
The sound of the atmosphere shattering resounded to the extreme.
Cracks like shattered space formed a huge spider web, blocking the dark red slash that could bypass weapons.
As if hitting an absolute defense barrier, Shanks's slash was completely blocked.
Not only that, the vibration power surging out from the atmospheric cracks instantly shattered the dark red slash and engulfed Shanks, who had broken free from the gravitational pull.
Rumble rumble...
Unlike Karl and Charlotte Linlin's shockwaves.
The airwave formed by the vibration power seeped into the ground, instantly covering the entire arena and creating a strong earthquake that spread to one-fifth of the island.
If this final island were not a super-large island formed by the fusion of five large islands.
Blackbeard's punch would have shaken the entire island and even caused a tsunami.
In the original manga, Whitebeard in his prime caused an earthquake on the entire island with just a roar.
Blackbeard's extremely casual punch, although not comparable to Whitebeard in his prime, was not weaker than the 72-year-old Whitebeard.
Having grown up watching Whitebeard use his ability since childhood, being extremely familiar with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and having a freakish physique entering its prime, Blackbeard could use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability without restraint.
The current Blackbeard was like an enhanced version of Whitebeard during the Summit War.
The strong earthquake that spread to one-fifth of the island also affected Karl's side, where he was fighting 1 vs 2.
The spreading of huge cracks made Karl temporarily stop the martial arts contest and pull away a certain distance.
Boom—!
Sensing the ground-shattering vibration and the thick dust cloud rising from the other side of the battlefield.
After discovering that Shanks's aura had not changed at all, the gazes of Karl and the other two returned to each other.
Using Life Return to mobilize the physical energy in his body, Karl fired a huge air cannon at Kaido.
In response, Kaido only swung a club energy wave similar to a flying slash to meet Karl's epic-level Six King Gun.
Although the intensity of the club energy wave was far inferior to Karl's Six King Gun.
But Kaido was not dealing with Karl alone.
"Elbaf's Spear: Ikoku Sovereignty!"
While Kaido swung his club energy wave, Charlotte Linlin also swung a huge shockwave, blocking Karl's Six King Gun together with Kaido's club energy wave.
An earthquake second only to the one created by Blackbeard also spread from the battlefield of Karl and the other two.
Through the live broadcast, the people of the world watching this chaotic battle from above.
Only felt that the super-large island in the picture seemed to have woken up, shaking slightly.
The terrifying sound of the earth shaking and mountains swaying could be heard by the people of the world even from a height of several hundred meters.
The unprecedented chaotic battle of the Five Emperors plunged the entire world into silence.
Looking at the scene where just the clash of moves made the super-large island shake.
Everyone, besides opening their mouths wide and being dumbfounded, couldn't say a word.
Never mind the people of the world, even Morgans, who was supposed to comment on this final battle, dropped the microphone in his hand and stared blankly at the huge screen on the golden stage.
For a battle of this level, the world was not qualified to make any comments other than being fortunate enough to watch it.
