Chapter 624: Peers? Lai Tiqi's Jealousy! (2 in 1)

The long sword flew past the place where Blackbeard had just stood, leaving a trail of blood.

And just the next second after Blackbeard disappeared, Tsugukuni Yoshiichi's figure gently landed on the ground, and then he swung the long sword in his hand, and several sword lights instantly chased in the direction where Blackbeard reappeared.

After failing to hit the target with the first strike, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni didn't want to give Blackbeard any chance to breathe, so he directly drew his sword and pursued him.

Blackbeard's reaction was indeed very fast. Even though Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, who entered the transparent world, was able to hide all his breath, Blackbeard still made an effective evasive response to Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's sudden attack.

The Dark-Dark Fruit enhanced all the senses of his body, and the pain could be amplified several times. Other senses were also greatly amplified due to the devil fruit.

With the help of this ability, combined with the thick fat on the back of Blackbeard's neck, he was able to successfully escape from the attack of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

However, Blackbeard, who had just dodged a fatal blow from Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, had no time to check the damage he had suffered. What he was facing was a series of slashes released by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni.

The slashes were so dense that they reflected into Blackbeard's pupils.

Use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to resist? When Blackbeard raised his head, the slash had already reached him. It was too late for him to mobilize his power and punch to resist.

Can only hide.

The power of the Shun Shun Fruit gives Blackbeard an extremely strong ability to protect his life. As long as he can detect his opponent's attack, the power of the Shun Shun Fruit can help him get out of trouble and survive the danger.

Blackbeard disappeared without a sound. The power of the Shun Shun Fruit was demonstrated twice in front of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, causing him to look a little solemn.

Before this, he had only guessed about Blackbeard's abilities, although when he was on the ship, he also heard Aramaki describing the power of Blackbeard's Devil Fruit to Kuzan through the Den Den Mushi.

But there is no way to truly trust enemy intelligence without personally confirming it.

Although Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's Observation Haki is strong enough, the predictive ability of Observation Haki is limited when facing the abilities of devil fruits with unknown capabilities.

Only when Yoshiichi Tsugakuni used his transparent world to see with his own eyes Blackbeard using his ability twice in a row in front of him, did Yoshiichi Tsugakuni confirm that this Blackbeard really had the ability to teleport.

Judging from the abilities Blackbeard has demonstrated so far, the power of the Instant Instant Fruit is a bit too terrifying.

Blackbeard has the power of teleportation that seems to have no restrictions and is naturally invincible.

This is probably more powerful than the two famous space ninjutsu in the Naruto world, Flying Thunder God and Sky Hand.

Because Flying Thunder God's instant movement has a traceable path, a mark needs to be engraved in advance before moving in space; as for the so-called Sky Hand Power, an entity is required as the target of space exchange.

Of course, in different combat scenarios, it is difficult to determine which abilities are better or worse.

But from the perspective of saving his life alone, the new devil fruit ability that Blackbeard obtained is the best one.

There seems to be no limit to the space movement
Even Yoriichi Tsugakuni found this kind of enemy difficult to deal with.

When Blackbeard's figure appeared in everyone's sight again, he was already 20 to 30 meters away from Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Mihawk.

Blackbeard, who felt that he had created a safe area, looked up at Ji Guoyuan who suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The relief and anger on his face for surviving the disaster turned into shock and confusion.

"you"

"You are a guy."

Blackbeard looked at the young face of Tsugakuin Yoshiichirō and was a little dazed for a moment.

He felt that he must have seen Tsugikoku Yuichi somewhere, but for a moment he forgot where he had seen this young man.

After staring for a long time, Blackbeard asked uncertainly:

"Are you Tsugakuni Yoshiichi?!" Obviously, Blackbeard had recognized Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's face, but what made him judge was the Dawn in Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's hand.

In this world, the number of black knives is extremely limited.

Among so many famous and powerful people in the world, the only men who possess black swords are Mihawk and Yoriichi Tsugikoku in those days.

Even Pirate King Roger and Whitebeard never cultivated their weapons into black swords.

The black knife in Tsugumi Yoshiichi's hand combined with his current face made it possible for Blackbeard to recognize Tsugumi Yoshiichi in front of him.

However, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had no intention of paying attention to Blackbeard. He gently raised the long sword in his hand, turned around quickly, and swung several slashes at Mihawk's body.

The terrifying domineering aura compressed into black lightning the moment it was released, and at that moment it slashed the darkness around Mihawk, Mihawk only felt that the power that bound him was greatly weakened, and the continuous darkness was also cut off by Tsugaru Yoshiichi's slash, giving him the opportunity to break free from Blackbeard's restraints.

"Om-"

The terrifying domineering Haki burst out from Mihawk's body. With the assistance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Mihawk was able to break free from Blackbeard's ability with relatively less Haki.

After successfully escaping from the darkness, Mihawk quickly came to the side of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi. The look he gave Blackbeard was not only a little more vigilant, but also revealed a strong murderous intent.

Although he still had a hidden sword move that he hadn't used yet, Mihawk himself didn't know if it would be enough to help him escape from the situation if he unleashed his full strength.

Although it seemed that Yoriichi Tsugakuni easily cut off the darkness created by the Dark-Dark Fruit, what Yoriichi Tsugakuni could do did not necessarily mean that Mihawk could do.

Mihawk is proud, but he never thinks too highly of himself. He will objectively evaluate his own strength. Only in this way can he continue to grow.

Blackbeard also saw the scene of Tsugumi Yoshiichi helping Mihawk escape from trouble. His attack on Mihawk was blocked by the other party. That kind of strength also shocked Blackbeard.

Blackbeard knew how powerful the Dark-Dark Fruit was. Although the red-haired young man did not admit his identity, Blackbeard became more convinced of his guess.

Only someone as strong as Yoriichi Tsugakuni could use Haki to break the power of the Devil Fruit so easily.

With the arrival of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the combat power levels of the new navy and the pirates were completely unbalanced.

If he was only dealing with Mihawk and Aramaki, two powerful men of the New Navy, Blackbeard would have a chance to repel them with his dual fruits and his own Haki. If he was smart enough and used the tactics of the battle well, he would have a chance to defeat Mihawk and Aramaki. If Tsugakuni Yoshiichi hadn't appeared, Blackbeard would have succeeded.

However, the appearance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni put great psychological pressure on Blackbeard, and he was somewhat hesitant to fight with such a famous strong man like Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

The pain in the back of his neck and the wetness on his back made Blackbeard's mind extremely clear. Reaching out and touching behind him, Blackbeard saw that his palms were full of blood and a strong smell of blood was spreading quickly.

retreat?!
If he just left like this, Blackbeard would be more or less unwilling to do so. He had finally obtained the ability he had always dreamed of. How could he allow the first enemies he would encounter after his "debut" to be people whom he could not afford to offend?
Even if it was Yoriichi Tsugakuni, at this moment Blackbeard had the idea of ​​letting Yoriichi Tsugakuni taste his power.

Yes, Blackbeard did not choose to escape immediately. Instead, he looked at Tsugakuni Yoshiichi carefully and was actually planning to have a one-on-one confrontation with Tsugakuni Yoshiichi.

"sand--"

The soles of Blackbeard's shoes rubbed gently against the ground. Blackbeard did not move away from Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, but instead slightly moved his front and back feet, preparing for a defensive counterattack.

He wanted to experience it for himself whether Yoriichi Tsugikoku, who killed his "godfather" Whitebeard, really had the ability to defeat him.

The power of the Shun Shun Fruit gave Blackbeard the confidence to continue to dangle in front of Yoshiichi Tsugakuin!
“Thief hahahaha!!!!”

When Blackbeard thought that even someone like Yoshiichi Tsugakuni would choose to attack him by sneak attack, he actually felt honored. He laughed loudly, and his eyes revealed deep excitement.

"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, it's really you!"

"Didn't you die at the hands of the World Government?!"

"But you haven't shown up in these years. Are you trying to lure the World Government to organize forces to enter the New World?"

"Hahahaha. Your sinister plan is just like the one you used to sneak attack me with a knife just now!"

"But I'm sorry to disappoint you. Your sneak attack didn't succeed!"

Blackbeard suddenly burst into laughter, and his words were full of sarcasm towards Yoriichi Tsugakuni. He hoped to lure Yoriichi Tsugakuni to attack, so that he would have the opportunity to capture Yoriichi Tsugakuni with the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

However, in the face of Blackbeard's ridicule, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi remained calm. After helping Mihawk escape, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not continue to attack, but just observed Blackbeard.

Confident and outspoken.

In the early years, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni never took Blackbeard seriously. At that time, the enemies he had to face were the Five Elders, Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido.

Blackbeard is just one of the many pirates in the Whitebeard Pirates. How could Yoriichir pay attention to this pirate?
Although he had never dealt with Blackbeard before, from some of Blackbeard's behaviors today, Tsugikoku Yoriichi also noticed that the other party was arrogant and even had some domineering personality.

This kind of confidence and publicity may be the breakthrough to defeat Blackbeard.

As soon as the thought turned to his mind, Jiguo Yuanyi had already come up with a countermeasure.

"Leave the rest of the battle to me!"

"I'm sorry, Mihawk, for robbing your opponent. In return, all the pirate leaders on Beehive Island will be handed over to you and Aramaki."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi tilted his head slightly and spoke to Mihawk behind him with a gentle smile. Although he said sorry, Mihawk did not see any "sorry" emotion on Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's face.

"I understand."

"Although that guy's hard power is far from comparable to yours, his ability is very tricky. You'd better not capsize in the gutter!"

Blackbeard obviously left a very deep impression on Mihawk. After giving him a heavy-hearted warning, Mihawk quietly retreated and really ignored the battlefield here. He quickly reunited with Aramaki, and then the two of them, with a group of new navy soldiers outside the battlefield, rushed towards the pirates watching the battle on the other side.

Due to the appearance of Blackbeard, the pirates have not yet recovered from the disappearance of Wang Zhi. When they were still shocked by the appearance of Tsugikuni Yoriichi, they saw the new navy led by Mihawk and Aramaki rushing towards them.

For a while, these former Hive cadres had no intention of fighting.

Without Wang Zhi as the backbone, no pirate could unite the pirates of the Hive with complicated interests into a whole.

When facing a strong enemy like Mihawk, this group of rabble actually only had one thought in their minds, which was to run as far as possible!
If we can escape from the battlefield and run to a place where the new navy can't find us, that would be a success!
On the battlefield, the new navy and the pirates fought hand-to-hand, and noisy shouts of killing rang out.

However, those voices did not affect the confrontation between Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Blackbeard. They both looked at their opponents quietly, and no one took the initiative to act.

It's Yuichi Tsugikoku.
To Blackbeard, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who is of the same age as him, is more like a strong man from the previous era.

Because during the period when Jigoku Yoshiichi became famous, the strongest people in this ocean were Whitebeard and Roger and others.

The impression left by Yoriichi Tsugakuni in Blackbeard's heart is also extremely deep.

I was eighteen that year, standing on the deck like a minion.

This is the absolute gap in status and strength between Blackbeard when he was young and Yoriichi Tsugakuni of that time.

But after all these years, he, Teach, finally stepped to the forefront. He thought that even if it was Yuichiro Tsugakuni, he was qualified to compete with the other party!
"It's Tsugikoku Yoriichi."

"In fact, I have wanted to fight you for a long time!"

Tiqi spoke his true feelings and became emotional.

Tsugumi Yuichiro became famous at a young age, with outstanding talent and strong strength. To Blackbeard, who was the same age as him, Tsugumi Yuichiro was like the so-called "other people's child".

How could Blackbeard not envy Yoriichi Tsugakuni's life experience?

If he could, why would he choose to lie low for decades and live a low-key life?
The high spirits of youth? Blackbeard never enjoyed that feeling. All he had was the forbearance of not knowing what was ahead.

When Yoriichi Tsugakuni, whose life was going smoothly and his future was bright, appeared before him again, Blackbeard's desire to kill Yoriichi Tsugakuni became stronger and stronger.
