So the legendary pirate El was truly this powerful!
In the hearts of the vast majority of people around the world, El's strength had completely rewritten their understanding of what was possible.
It made them realize that there existed beings in this world who were truly on a whole different level.
"Everyone, look!"
Viewers from all over the world watched the scenes transmitted through the Transponder Snails.
At that very moment, El had already stepped forward and stood right in front of Akainu and Blackbeard.
"Akainu... I gave you a chance to survive once before. It is a pity that you failed to cherish it."
El spoke to Akainu in a calm, unemotional tone.
When Akainu had been severely injured earlier, he should have hidden himself away to recover...
Instead, he chose to stay and continue fighting on the battlefield!
Akainu's expression was dark and grim.
He understood clearly that facing the "White Demon" meant there was no good outcome waiting for him.
He was no match for him.
He was absolutely, undeniably outclassed.
Meanwhile, Blackbeard — ever the cunning opportunist — saw El talking to Akainu and quietly prepared to slip away unnoticed.
The Marines were already at a disadvantage; if he didn't run now, he might never get another chance.
He was just about to find an opening to escape...
When El's gaze shifted directly toward him!
His eyes were sharp as lightning, causing Blackbeard's heart to skip a beat in dread.
He had only met El once before, and that was when he was still serving under Whitebeard.
He didn't truly understand just how terrifying El's strength really was.
Seeing clearly that El had no intention of letting him go...
Blackbeard gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"What are we waiting for?! Let's fight him with everything we've got!"
Blackbeard shouted loudly, seemingly trying to rally Akainu as well.
Then he charged straight at El!
Akainu was utterly shocked.
This guy Blackbeard... he really has no idea just how vast the heavens and the earth truly are!
El is not someone you can just provoke and get away with it!
Blackbeard, however, cared nothing for such warnings and launched his attack immediately.
"DARK WATER!!"
Massive amounts of dark, shadowy energy gathered in Blackbeard's palm...
Transforming his hand into what looked like a bottomless black hole.
The Dark-Dark Fruit was the natural enemy of all Devil Fruit users, especially those with Logia abilities.
It allowed the user to pull the opponent's physical body toward them and nullify their powers, leaving them vulnerable to attack!
Unfortunately for him... his opponent was El.
This technique was completely useless against El.
El looked at him and smiled with pure disdain.
He opened his own palm in response.
"Banshō Ten'in!"!
In an instant, Blackbeard's own body was violently drawn toward El instead!
He felt an immense, overwhelming force dragging his massive body straight forward, completely out of his control.
Blackbeard's eyes widened in horror; he tried to twist his body and break free to dodge the attack...
But at that moment, he was no more than a mere leaf caught in a raging gale, with absolutely no ability to resist.
"SAVE ME!"
Blackbeard could only cry out desperately for help to Akainu!
Seeing this, Akainu rushed forward immediately, wreathed in boiling magma!
BOOM!
Suddenly, Akainu's body was struck from the side by a powerful shockwave...
Sending him flying backward violently.
Standing nearby was Whitebeard, holding his Supreme Grade Sword — Murakumogiri.
He looked down coldly at Akainu lying on the ground.
"Who gave you permission to interrupt their fight?"
With this single action, Whitebeard effectively split the battlefield in two!
El vs. Blackbeard.
Whitebeard vs. Akainu.
The two separate battles were about to erupt at any moment!
Blackbeard had already been pulled right up against El's hand by the power of Universal Pull.
While holding him in place...
El clenched his other hand into a fist.
His fist turned pitch black, coated in dense, impenetrable Armament Haki.
Wispy clouds of energy swirled around it, infused with the overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki.
He threw a heavy punch straight into Blackbeard's body!
BOOM!
Blackbeard's body was dented and compressed inward from the impact!
This punch carried terrifying weight and power!
Blackbeard tried his best to defend himself at the last second, covering his body with Armament Haki...
...But his defensive Haki was instantly shattered and dispersed by El's strike!
PAH!
Blackbeard sprayed a fountain of blood from his mouth!
Countless people watched this scene in total disbelief.
Blackbeard — the newly appointed Warlord of the Sea, the man responsible for triggering the Summit War itself —
Had been beaten into a critical, bloody state with just one single punch from El!
The pirates watched El's figure with excitement and deep admiration.
"Truly worthy of Lord El! He can handle any opponent with absolute ease!"
"Blackbeard looked so formidable, but in front of Lord El, he is nothing at all!"
"Blackbeard... what a joke he turned out to be!"
The members of Blackbeard's crew...
Witnessing this, were overcome by cold dread.
They had chosen to follow Blackbeard precisely because of his immense strength.
They believed that having such a powerful captain would allow them to dominate and do as they pleased throughout the New World!
But now, the situation had taken a terrifying turn.
Their captain... was getting utterly destroyed and humiliated by El!
If their captain was reduced to such a sorry state... then what hope did lowly subordinates like them possibly have?
A few of the smarter and more opportunistic ones were already preparing to flee for their lives.
Blackbeard, however, was completely unaware that his own crew had already mentally abandoned and betrayed him.
Right now, he was still rolling around on the ground in agony.
"AAAHHH! IT HURTS SO BAD!!"
He screamed continuously.
Yet despite his words, the volume and strength of his voice suggested he was still full of energy...
As if he hadn't actually sustained any truly fatal injuries.
El looked down at this man...
Thinking to himself: "Something is not right here."
That punch he had thrown a moment ago...
It was solid, direct, and should have definitely left Blackbeard grievously wounded, no exceptions.
Right now, using his Observation Haki, he carefully sensed the flow of life force within Blackbeard's body...
