"How are things, Van Auger!"
Blackbeard Teach gulped down a large mouthful of sake, then asked his subordinate, Van Auger.
Van Auger, a sniper with excellent eyesight, was responsible for observing the situation.
"Whitebeard is already fighting Admiral Akainu. They are still entangled in battle right now."
"It seems the victor won't be decided anytime soon."
Van Auger stood atop San Juan Wolf's body, observing the battle inside Marineford, and reported to him.
"Hahaha, Old Man is still formidable!"
"No, the strongest man in the future world will be me!"
Blackbeard Teach, hearing that the two sides were fighting fiercely, couldn't help but burst out laughing, speaking with great confidence.
"I hope your plan succeeds. If it fails, we'll all be captured by the Marine and taken back!"
Shiryu of the Rain said calmly, puffing on his cigar.
Choosing Blackbeard was merely convenient; he didn't necessarily value this guy. Ambition also required the ability to achieve it.
This time, it was to prove Blackbeard Teach's capabilities.
If he couldn't do it, then everyone who came out of Impel Down would abandon him without hesitation.
"Of course, I've been preparing for this day for many years!"
Blackbeard Teach's face showed a sinister expression.
"Let's maintain a distance of three hundred meters. Any closer, and my ability might not be able to fool those Marine!"
Catarina Devon, a Devil Fruit user with the Dog-Dog Fruit, Nine-Tailed Fox Form.
She used her Devil Fruit ability to create a small patch of mist, just enough to cover San Juan Wolf's massive body, which was almost comparable to a small island.
Everyone who saw this mist would subconsciously ignore it, not paying any attention to this place.
This was the reason why Blackbeard and his crew were able to sneak near the battlefield and only appear at the very end.
However, unfortunately, this ability did not deceive Uchiha Tamahiko's Shadow Clone's Sharingan; it was still seen through.
"Whitebeard's era should end, and a new era is about to begin! Meow!"
The Wicked King Avalo Pizarro said with a serious expression.
Most of the people here had dealt with Whitebeard. The four pirates who left Impel Down had all received 'care' from Whitebeard, meaning they had been beaten up.
"Burp."
"Is there any more sake?"
Vasco Shot, his face flushed with alcohol, had been drinking continuously since leaving Impel Down, wanting to make up for all the time he hadn't drunk while imprisoned there.
But as soon as he finished speaking, many people on the scene instantly lowered their heads, looking at the sea.
Most of them were standing on San Juan Wolf's shoulders, with only Van Auger standing on his head, responsible for observing the situation.
"What's going on!"
Blackbeard Teach sensed that something was wrong.
Shiryu of the Rain directly drew his weapon, preparing to meet the impending danger.
However, immediately, these people were stunned, because the seawater suddenly began to spin.
"Water Release: Water Vortex Jutsu!"
Uchiha Tamahiko's Shadow Clone released the Water Release Ninjutsu he had only recently learned.
He had only mastered the shape transformation; the nature transformation had not yet been mastered, but it was already sufficient for use now.
A giant water vortex instantly shot up into the sky, with a diameter of nearly sixty meters. The water vortex enveloped San Juan Wolf and also swept Blackbeard and the others into it.
The Devil Fruit users instantly lost their combat ability, their bodies going limp and weak.
However, Shiryu of the Rain, The Wicked King Avalo Pizarro, and others who were not Devil Fruit users began to resist.
Shiryu of the Rain's slash cut the water vortex in half, but before he could escape, he was pulled back by the continuously rotating seawater.
This water vortex also attracted the attention of many people on the Marineford battlefield.
Both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marine thought it was the other side playing tricks.
The water vortex was controlled by Uchiha Tamahiko with great effort, sweeping Blackbeard's crew towards the Marineford battlefield.
In the end, only the San Juan Wolf was truly too large for the water vortex to sweep up; everyone else was carried into Marineford Bay by the suction of the water vortex.
"It's not a suitable attribute; it really consumes a lot of Chakra. Nearly one-tenth of the main body's Chakra is almost depleted!"
Uchiha Tamahiko's Shadow Clone sensed the Chakra in his body and said helplessly.
If it were the Great Fire Annihilation, he could at least cast ten of them, but now casting a Water Release Ninjutsu similar to the Great Fire Annihilation required nearly ten times more Chakra than the Great Fire Annihilation.
Only after possessing the Rinnegan could this situation be eliminated, and then only by fully mastering the seven attributes of Yin, Yang, Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Wind could Truth-Seeking Orb be created.
There was still a long way to go before his bloodline could reach its limit.
Then, the Shadow Clone did nothing else but stare at San Juan Wolf, preventing him from escaping, ready to dispel himself and transmit the information back to the main body at any time.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Who exactly was that!"
Blackbeard Teach felt like he had narrowly escaped death.
He was fished out of the bay's seawater by Shiryu of the Rain and placed on a broken wooden plank from Whitebeard's Moby Dick.
"It seems it wasn't you who targeted Whitebeard, but you who were targeted by someone else!"
Shiryu of the Rain spat out his waterlogged cigar, a fighting spirit appearing on his face as he looked at Hawkeye Mihawk not far away.
The strongest swordsman, he was naturally very interested.
"Now is the time to prove your strength, Teach! Meow..."
The Wicked King Avalo Pizarro said.
He was also not a Devil Fruit user, but a Mink.
However, his ability couldn't allow him to escape from the rapidly rotating currents, so he was still swept along.
He felt that now was not the right time; if Blackbeard was unreliable, he was ready to flee.
The three of them gathered together, while the others scattered. Some deliberately hid, and Blackbeard's original subordinates all found a wooden plank to cling to.
Now the main battlefield was in the plaza, so there was no cannon fire in the bay, making it relatively safe.
"Teach!!!"
But before Blackbeard could answer.
A roar filled with endless fury came from afar.
Whitebeard Edward punched Akainu away, then turned around and, through the passage blocked by Oars, stared intently at Blackbeard Teach!
"Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach!"
"You attacked the Great Prison Impel Down; are you trying to oppose the Marine!"
Sengoku also knew what Blackbeard had done and likewise developed great dissatisfaction with Blackbeard, a Shichibukai.
"Target acquired."
"Mission execution begins: intercept and avoid unnecessary combat!"
At the same time, Fugaku began to issue orders.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded directly.
Then, Izumi and Yashiro were left to remain in place, awaiting Uchiha Tamahiko's orders, while the others dispersed, led by Fugaku, Shisui, and Itachi.
They prepared to keep an eye on these individuals brought over by the water vortex. They recognized the water vortex as Ninjutsu at a glance, definitely Uchiha Tamahiko's doing.
"One is missing. It seems the Shadow Clone couldn't bring him over."
"The real battle has begun!"
Uchiha Tamahiko's main body, after the water vortex appeared, observed carefully.
He saw all of Blackbeard's crew fall.
At the same time, the mission prompt also appeared: 0/10.
Ten targets.
