Chapter 449: Sweating Blackbeard
Chapter 449: Sweating Blackbeard
boom--
Lu Li's spiritual pressure was released, and a black undercurrent surged like the sea. A huge execution coffin rose from the ground and pierced through the barrier between the fifth and sixth floors.
The powerful force even distorted gravity. The dark acupoints of the Dark-Dark Fruit were set to absorb everything, sucking objects in and crushing them like a small black hole, but facing the violent output of the Black Coffin, its absorption ability seemed inadequate.
Almost instantly, a loophole appeared in Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit's defense.
In the gap of the black mist of the Dark-Dark Fruit, Blackbeard saw Lu Li with a Shura-like posture, and immediately understood why the destructive power of the opponent's moves had increased by several levels compared to before.
Just as he was using all his strength to activate the Dark-Dark Fruit and sweat was breaking out on his forehead, he suddenly felt a light tap on his shoulder.
"When you get closer, it really stinks."
A familiar voice sounded behind him, making Blackbeard feel his scalp tingling!
Natural disaster! ?
How on earth did he get in?
The gap created by the Dark-Dark Fruit was definitely not enough for one person to pass through, and Lu Li was standing on dark water. In theory, the ability of the fruit should have been unable to be activated. Moreover, he knew that Lu Li had the fruit of a mythical beast, not the Thunder Fruit, so he could not transform into an element to pass through.
Teleport! ?
No, it's impossible. The teleportation fruit was an ability he obtained some time ago and given to Fan Oka. Lu Li couldn't teleport.
Blackbeard's brain almost stopped working for a moment, and he broke out in a cold sweat. It was the first time he felt this kind of oppression from someone other than Whitebeard.
No, it was not just a feeling of oppression, he also smelled another scent, and the name of that scent was death.
"escape!"
The moment Blackbeard pounced forward, he opened his big hands and grabbed Van Oka and Poison Q, while Lafayette held Poison Q's horse legs with his hands.
Fan Oka did not dare to hesitate and directly activated the ability of the teleportation fruit to teleport himself and his group to a safe place.
Lu Li looked at the empty sixth floor in front of him and released the state of Shura Jue.
With the experience from the previous world, Lu Li discovered that sometimes, rather than killing the prey directly, letting it jump around for a while might create greater benefits.
So when he patted Blackbeard's shoulder, he used the item "Hunting Mark. Transmission" that he exchanged for the Pioneer Medal. The target locked by the Hunting Mark will be displayed on his radar, and he can also monitor the target's behavior and conversation at all times.
When the target locked by the hunting mark comes into contact with other individuals, Lu Li, as the initiator of the item, can remotely control the spread of the mark, and the infected target will also be included in his hunting radar.
Based on Blackbeard's previous words and deeds, as well as the early appearance of the fruit abilities of his group members, Lu Li speculated that the other party was most likely in cahoots with the explorers of the arcane space.
Lu Li hoped that Blackbeard could act as his spy without him realizing it, so that he could understand the movements of the people in the Arcane Space and quickly grasp the current situation in this world.
Lu Li personally has no interest in being a scoundrel, but he still has many friends in this world, so he won't be too reckless and the necessary intelligence arrangements must be in place.
Besides allowing Blackbeard to help him gather intelligence and find opportunities to infect explorers of the arcane space, releasing Blackbeard at this moment can also help Lu Li create some benefits related to the main quest.
According to his main quest description, you can get rewards by killing targets of other camps on the battlefield of the war at the top.
If pirates who were originally going to join the Blackbeard Pirates, such as the King of Evil Government, the Big Barrel, and the Giant Battleship, are killed before they join the Blackbeard Pirates and appear on the battlefield, the main mission reward will not be calculated.
In other words, if Lu Li killed those people at this time, he could only gamble on whether a treasure chest would explode, and there would be no extra benefits.
He also tried to kill an active member of the Black Group. Fighting Champion Badges was also ranked high on the list of the main quest. Originally, if he killed him on the battlefield, he could get 8 inheritance crystals. But he just killed him directly, and only a treasure chest dropped. He didn't know if he could get a devil fruit.
After comprehensive consideration, Lu Li decided to eat the main course on the battlefield. At the same time, in order to ensure that the situation was always under his control, Lu Li killed the prisoners on the bottom floor of the Push City.
On the one hand, it was to prevent Blackbeard from disgusting him on the battlefield after he got more help. On the other hand, what he said before was also the truth. Most of the criminals on the sixth floor were brutal villains who deserved to be hanged ten thousand times.
If he were released, who knows how many civilians would suffer. Lu Li likes to make money, but the prerequisite is that he must feel happy.
Now that the dangerous prisoners on the sixth floor have been cleared and the Blackbeard Pirates have also been marked by him, Lu Li feels that it is about time to advance towards the battlefield.
…………
On the other side, the Blackbeard Pirates used the power of the Teleport Fruit to teleport directly to the first floor of Impel Down.
“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo—”
Blackbeard panted heavily, sweating profusely, "Damn it, how can the natural disaster be so strong!?"
He had seen Kaido and also seen King, the veteran disaster of the Beasts Pirates, but he didn't think King would be a match for Lu Li at all.
Rather than saying that Lu Li is at the level of a vice-admiral, it would be better to say that he feels that Lu Li's strength is close to that of the three admirals of the navy.
Well, generally speaking, Blackbeard believes that the strength of the Navy Admirals and the Four Emperors is similar, but it also depends on who is compared with whom, and how the comparison is made.
If Kaido fights one-on-one, he will definitely be stronger than any of the three admirals. After all, the title of the strongest creature on earth is not an exaggeration.
If it comes to a group battle, Whitebeard is definitely the strongest. The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit on the battlefield is not comparable to that of the ordinary Four Emperors. At the same time, Whitebeard has dominated the New World for decades and is almost a representative of an era. Even if we put aside the ability of the fruit, he is still one of the top Four Emperors.
But if compared with BIG MOM, in a one-on-one fight against the strongest generation of navy admirals, Blackbeard feels like a 50-50 chance, and may even suffer because of his IQ and mobility.
However, the reason why the Four Emperors are the Four Emperors is not only because of their individual strengths, but also the power of their imperial group. Therefore, comparing the strength of the Four Emperors in a one-on-one fight with the admirals of the navy is just a joke on paper.
It is precisely because Blackbeard is very familiar with the combat power level of the New World that he is so confident in invading Impel Down. Magellan's ability is quite troublesome for them, but he also has a new partner who can restrain Magellan and hold him back.
Unexpectedly, he successfully reached the sixth floor, but not only did he fail to recruit a partner, he also lost his right-hand man, Badgers.
It was all because of the encounter with the unexpected person that the natural disaster Lu Li was not only still alive, but also stronger than he expected.
"Captain, what's next?"
Fan Oka asked, he had the teleportation fruit which gave him a strategic advantage. If the captain said to fight back, they could still teleport back.
The teleportation fruit allows a person to move to wherever he wants to go. As long as it is a place he has been to or a place within his sight, he can be teleported there in an instant.
"Wait for Richard to come out, and then we'll go to Marinford together. Don't provoke Lu Li for now. His escape from prison is inevitable, so we have to rearrange things to avoid a war that doesn't go as we expected."
Blackbeard said with a gloomy expression.
"What does the war have to do with Lu Li?"
Poison Q asked, "Even though he was released by the Straw Hat Boy, he is not in a position to help save Ace, right?"
"not that simple……"
Blackbeard looked serious, "To be honest, although his Thunder God Fruit is troublesome, if I hadn't taken you guys into consideration, I would still be confident that I could fight him."
He was not bragging to save face in front of his men, but because he felt that Lu Li had obviously used some explosive moves at that time, which might be the ability of the mythical beast. Although his overall strength had improved, Blackbeard felt that his foundation was still enough to compete with Lu Li.
In terms of fruit power and domineering, he felt that he would not be weak. The only problem was that he did not understand how Lu Li teleported at that time. Moreover, he was not afraid of the Thunder God Fruit, but his subordinates were not. If he had to protect his subordinates and fight at the same time, he would definitely not be able to win, so he retreated directly.
"The real problem is not his personal combat capability, but his identity..."
Blackbeard explained, "You may not know since you were not in the New World, but Kaido the King of Beasts is very dependent on Lu Li. If the news that Lu Li is still alive gets out, there may be changes in the war at the top."
Now the others understood. If the Beasts Pirates also joined the battle, Whitebeard might not have died, and their captain would not have been able to obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and his dream of dominating the New World and becoming the Pirate King would have been pure nonsense.
"I see. So why is Richard so slow? Didn't he say he would delay Magellan and then retreat?"
Lafayette said, "It's already the scheduled time, why hasn't he arrived at the meeting place?"
"Captain, do you want me to go and fetch him?"
Fan Oka inquired.
Blackbeard frowned, as if he had thought of something, and his expression was not very good. "No, wait two more minutes. If he doesn't come back, we will leave directly."
…………
At this time, advance into the city, the second level, the beast hell.
The soldiers of Impel Down were beaten and flew all over the place. Jinbe used karate to clear the way for the fishman. There was also a lot of dust on the left. It turned out to be Crocodile.
Crocodile was released by Blackbeard's men, but he had no intention of hanging out with Blackbeard, nor did he want to be a clown and play some chicken game, so he went straight to the upper levels to kill.
Crocodile almost met Luffy on the way and they got into a fight. It was only after Jinbei explained the consistency of everyone's current interests that they reluctantly worked together.
"Little Straw Hat, wait a minute, there's Magellan in front!"
As Luffy rushed forward, he was stopped by Fengkelei, "Don't be impulsive, you will die if you are poisoned again."
When the others saw Magellan, they also looked solemn.
Fortunately, Magellan seemed to be fighting with a master and did not come directly towards them.
But the problem is that the place where Magellan fought with the strong man they had never seen before was stuck at the entrance. If they wanted to pass through there, they would be attacked by Magellan.
"Tsk, that's really troublesome."
Crocodile didn't know where he found his coat, and he even had a cigar in his mouth. He frowned when he saw Magellan blocking his way.
He is a user of nature-related abilities. If he were to advance through elemental transformation, he would surely be able to break through Magellan's blockade.
But he is not a completely heartless person. At least he does not want to give up MR.1, the loyal cadre who has always followed him, and wants to take him out with him.
Besides, a person with special abilities like MR.3 will be very useful to him when he explores the new world in the future. It would be a pity to just throw him away like this.
"What should I do? Ace has been taken away for a while, I have to catch up with him immediately!"
Luffy was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He saw an impulsive prisoner running towards the exit, but before Magellan could use the poison, the prisoner was killed by the person who was fighting with Magellan.
The man who fought with Magellan was wearing a white wizard robe and constantly releasing strange abilities to block Magellan's poison, looking very capable.
The restraint relationship between abilities is vividly reflected here. Magellan's poison has a strong deterrent effect on most people. Even if you are a natural type and accidentally get infected by it, you will be corroded.
The sand crocodile can transform itself into sand to avoid passing through, but if the sand transformed from its original body is contaminated with poison, it will be in trouble.
The reason why the World Government chose Magellan as the chief warden was because of his terrifying ability to effectively suppress prisoners.
After all, if the poisoned prisoners still have potential value to the government, Magellan can use the antidote to save them, which is a very convenient way to suppress and capture them alive.
The ability of the person fighting with Magellan at this time seemed very strange to everyone. He just waved his staff to block Magellan's poison without any contact, so Magellan had no way to do anything to him.
On the contrary, Jinbei felt that if he used a shock attack like Haki to hit this person, the effect would be stronger than the poison which had almost zero shock.
"Mr. Warden, my mission has been completed. How about you let me go and do my job well?"
Richard, the arcane space explorer who was in charge of holding Magellan back, said with a smile, "It will be fruitless if we continue to fight like this. If we let those prisoners on the sixth floor go, can you bear the responsibility?"
Magellan's expression became gloomy when he heard this, but he still attacked Richard.
Forget about whether he can take responsibility or not. From the moment Blackbeard invaded the sixth floor, the official hat on his head was definitely gone. All he can do now is kill the invaders and suppress all prisoners who want to escape.
"You will be held accountable by the World Government in the future anyway, so why don't you just come with us? It's too embarrassing to resist so powerlessly now. It's better to be a free pirate."
Richard tried to persuade him with words, but people who understand the situation should look at the overall situation. The entire Impel Down city was in riot, and a large number of experts escaped. This situation was not something that Magellan could control alone.
Since I might end up in a miserable situation later, I might as well go with them.
"Shut up, pirate!"
Magellan said in a low voice with anger, "Freedom without rules is only destruction. You act recklessly on the sea, but make civilians lose their loved ones and be afraid and unable to sleep. The meaning of my existence is to let the people outside sleep well!"
Richard also showed admiration when he heard this, but unfortunately the strategy of this mission world determined their position, so he could only sigh and reply: "But there are no rules of freedom... It's just tyranny."
Magellan was stunned when he heard this. At this moment, Richard released magic and distanced himself from Magellan.
"That's right, so you are the ace of the Blackbeard Pirates?"
A voice sounded, attracting the attention of the two people who were about to continue the duel.
"Natural disaster!"
"Electric discharge brother!"
Luffy and his crew were also quite surprised to see who was coming. The person coming up from below was Lu Li. Does this mean that Lu Li has won?
Richard stared at Lu Li and immediately understood what was going on. They had received a prompt from the space before, saying that an explorer from the End Space had entered that world.
At that time, the team leader told them in a serious tone to be careful, but from his reconnaissance skills, it seemed that Lu Li was just a fifth-level newcomer who had just entered the fifth level with a comprehensive attribute of only 101 points.
Nothing to worry about.
A confident smile appeared on his face.
