From the moment Blackbeard opened his mouth to ask who wanted the Venom-Venom Fruit, Magellan had heard it.
Although such a thing had never been heard of on the seas, Blackbeard's Devil Fruit ability was indeed extremely bizarre; every time they came into contact, his own abilities would become unusable.
Therefore, he concluded that the other party must have mastered some method to achieve the goal of stealing Devil Fruit abilities.
And now, the other party obviously had their eyes on Leiyi's Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability.
But as the warden of Impel Down, how could he allow escaping prisoners to attack Leiyi?
"Vice Admiral Leiyi, these guys are all extremely tricky. You should leave first and quickly report to headquarters for reinforcements.
Rest assured, even if it costs my life, I will not let these guys leave easily."
As he spoke, Magellan burped, leaking a small amount of poison.
Leiyi furrowed his brows tightly, realizing that this battle had to be resolved swiftly.
Otherwise, he might also bear the risk of being fiercely attacked by his teammate.
A gigantic thunder avatar rose directly from the ground, and Leiyi's expression was unprecedentedly serious.
"Raigo——"
He could not continue wasting time here.
It was not just because of Magellan's ability.
For some reason, Leiyi had a premonition that something big might happen over at the Summit War.
Then what kind of big event would happen?
Given the scale of the Summit War, it was actually not hard to guess what problems might arise, because ordinary strength lacked the power to influence this war.
Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea were merely ordinary ripples at the Summit War, making it difficult to produce a major impact.
Only strength at the level of the Four Emperors had enough weight to intervene in this war.
Therefore, Leiyi prepared to end the battle quickly.
Facing the thunder, Blackbeard's face evidently revealed panic.
Cowardly as he was, facing such might from Leiyi, bean-sized sweat beads continuously flowed.
"Hey hey, sorry, what my partner said earlier was a bit excessive; they were just joking. I completely had no such thoughts. Let's end things here, how about we just leave right now?"
Teach very much followed his inner guidance, directly apologizing and admitting defeat.
However, Leiyi completely ignored him, his hands not stopping as the thunder avatar continued to grow larger.
"Hey hey, this is no joke."
"Run quickly, run separately."
"Are you kidding me, how are we supposed to fight against this kind of power?"
The crowd that had originally huddled together instantly scattered, seeing who would be unlucky enough to be targeted. However, the crowd soon stopped in their tracks.
Because running away seemed to have lost its meaning.
This strike was clearly aimed at everyone.
"Stop hiding, everyone attack together! I refuse to believe he dares to take everyone's attacks head-on. We cannot let him continue."
The crowd successively gave up dodging, swarming forward and charging directly toward Leiyi.
And Blackbeard also tried his utmost, darkness condensing on his hands. He understood that not risking his life would not do.
At this moment, Blackbeard's greatest realization was: This young man must be out of his mind! Was there any need to fight so desperately?
Or could this youngster be another 'Akainu', holding a crazy obsession with capturing pirates?
However, seeing everyone attacking, Leiyi shifted his momentum and directly unleashed the attack.
The situation changed abruptly. The Blackbeard Pirates had originally prepared to strike first, completely not expecting Leiyi's strike to be so decisive, making them look as if they were deliberately crashing into the attack.
Helpless, the crowd could only choose to endure it head-on with their physical bodies.
And Leiyi did not stay idle; after unleashing the strike, he directly dashed to kill Shiryu on the side.
After attacking Magellan, Shiryu had been watching from the sidelines, and because Leiyi had targeted Blackbeard right from the start, Shiryu completely did not expect the other party to suddenly attack him.
The gap in strength between the two was already huge, coupled with Leiyi's sudden attack and their close distance, leaving Shiryu with no time to react at all.
A plain and unpretentious kick directly sent Shiryu flying, embedding him into the wall.
Meanwhile, the Blackbeard Pirates and others, as if suffering a heavenly tribulation, managed to survive and resist through the Raigo.
Under this strike, although everyone was disheveled, unexpectedly only two people sustained minor injuries.
Leiyi glanced at Blackbeard.
The reason that strike did not achieve success was entirely due to the Dark-Dark Fruit ability; during the confrontation, the Raigo was gradually swallowed up by the Dark-Dark Fruit.
A fruit that could be bitterly pursued by an ambitious person like Blackbeard indeed had a somewhat sickening ability.
However, Leiyi ignored these people, directly flashing to Shiryu's side and taking his prized sword.
【Ding: Famous Blade: Raiu discovered, Great Grade Blade 21, Weapon Encyclopedia can be activated】
Leiyi did not hesitate, directly choosing to activate it.
【Ding: Activation successful, attack gains a 10% buff】
Leiyi never expected that collecting these blades could directly grant an attack buff, and it was even a noble percentage.
Now fighting Kaido would have no pressure regarding a lack of output; give him 50%, and Leiyi was confident he could beat Kaido howling.
No wait, why would he want to fight Kaido for no reason? He must really have been poisoned by Yamato.
Still, the system was truly trashy, only giving such a tiny buff.
That was only because he was already powerful now; otherwise, this 10% wouldn't even be enough to plug a gap between his teeth.
However, someone was going to suffer terribly now.
Leiyi turned around to look at Blackbeard's crew, and then silently broke Shiryu's right hand first.
He certainly didn't want to wait for the guy to recover and attack him later, which would make him go through the trouble all over again.
Originally, Shiryu was still unconscious, but this action directly woke him up in pain. However, this guy was also tough; even with his hand broken, he didn't utter a single sound.
"Brutal personality and likes killing, right? Since you've defected, precautions must be taken. Honestly stay put and wait for your judgment."
Seeing Leiyi act so ruthlessly, everyone present couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Was this really a Marines? Are young people nowadays all this crazy?
"Captain, what should we do now?"
"Hey Leiyi, how about we talk it over? No matter how strong you are, it's impossible to take us down.
Would you like to join us? What's so good about being a Marines? That hypocritical justice is completely unworthy of belief. Come, I will make you understand what the truth of the world really is."
Blackbeard intended to recruit Leiyi, and said slowly.
However, Leiyi didn't even glance at him.
"Hey, Magellan, have you watched enough of the show? It's about time you woke up. Do you still want to take a nap here?"
Ah...
Magellan was dazed for a moment before realizing that Leiyi was talking to him, and quickly stood up.
And at the place where he was slashed, the wound had long since stopped bleeding.
Not to mention, everyone in this world had per capita blood-cow levels of health; the amount of bleeding from that slash earlier was at least two jin.
How long had it been, and he was as good as nothing had happened.
Although his brain seemed to have developed some problem, looking like he was demented.
How could Leiyi imagine that Magellan was truly stunned by Leiyi.
You must know that Shiryu was his subordinate, the former chief jailer of Impel Down.
He was crystal clear about Shiryu's strength.
Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't believe that Shiryu could actually be one-shotted by someone, and by such a young Marines at that.
Two days ago when reading the newspaper, he was even cursing, saying that the news nowadays was becoming less and less reliable.
In order to deter pirates, the World Government had simply reached a frantic attitude—first the massacre because of the Pirate King's bloodline, then the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and then the execution of Fire Fist Ace.
Now they could even make up stories about a barely adult kid fighting Kaido.
And now he finally understood that what was written in the newspaper was all true.
There really was someone who could contend with the Four Emperors at such a young age; the difference between people was truly too huge.
"Hey hey, are you alright? Were you struck silly just now? Can you still fight or not? If not, step aside and don't get in the way here."
"Oh oh, I can do it. This old man will absolutely not let these guys escape."
Seeing Magellan stand up again, Teach completely stopped grinning.
He understood that this was no longer a question of whether he could still rush to Marineford to find Whitebeard, but rather how many members of his newly formed crew could survive this battle.
Including himself, there was also the risk of stumbling.
Yet even in such a predicament, he laughed again.
"This era, only like this is it interesting. The great era is coming, our era... Dark Vortex."
Teach reached out his hand, and Leiyi was directly sucked over. Even if Leiyi wanted to use Elementalization, it was useless; his body still remained out of control.
The melee began.
This time it was Leiyi plus Magellan against the entire Blackbeard crew.
Both sides erupted into a major battle once again.
Meanwhile, over at the Summit War, the battle had escalated once again.
