42 042 Crew Challenge
Silence!
No one said anything!
After saying this, everyone in the Blackbeard Pirates could sense the kingly charisma emanating from Blackbeard.
Although this kind of dominance is not Conqueror's Haki, it shouldn't manifest in someone like Blackbeard, who is ungrateful and kills his companions.
However, the aura that Blackbeard now exuded truly instilled fear in them.
Then Shiryu took a puff of his cigar and smiled lightly, saying, "Captain Blackbeard is becoming more and more domineering."
"Weihahaha! A crazy man would prefer to betray the world than the world to betray him!"
Burgess also burst into laughter.
The rest of the Blackbeard Pirates remained silent because the better Blackbeard became, the more successes they would achieve in the future.
Only the smile on Avalo Pizarro's face gradually disappeared.
His expression turned serious, revealing a subtle fighting spirit.
"Have a fight with me. If you can beat me, I'll eat this apple. But if you lose, give up the position of captain!"
Avalo Pizarro stared at Blackbeard and declared.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the Blackbeard Pirates changed.
"You!"
Burgess's face changed after hearing this, and he seemed ready to fight Avalo Pizarro.
As a result, he wanted to charge forward but was stopped by Blackbeard.
"This is a matter between the captain and the crew, and neither of you can take action"
"Zeehahahaha!"
Blackbeard laughed loudly. He enjoyed the audacity of pirates, then stepped forward, declaring, "I accept your challenge!"
Shortly after, the warship anchored on the shore of an island in the New World.
The Blackbeard Pirates had all disembarked onto the island.
"Captain Blackbeard, give it your all. I really want to see how powerful the three devil fruits are!"
Avalo Pizarro stood opposite Blackbeard, his eyes filled with excitement.
Blackbeard had seen Avalo Pizarro's audacity on the sixth floor of Impel City, so he wasn't surprised.
"Come on then!"
Blackbeard stood his ground and said to Avalo Pizarro.
As a captain, he naturally had to embody the magnanimity of a leader. Since there was a challenge from the crew, he naturally had to let the other party make the first move.
"Fist of the Earth!"
Avalo Pizarro stomped his feet, driving his hands directly into the soil beneath him.
His Paramecia Devil Fruit, the Island-Island Fruit, was activated.
The ground behind him began to surge until it coalesced into a massive boulder, as large as a hill of Fist!
Upon witnessing this, Blackbeard simply punched the space in front of him.
"Click, click, click!"
The space shattered, and the shockwave collided with the colossal fist
"Boom!!!"
Avalo Pizarro's colossal stone fist shattered into pieces and fell in an instant.
"Earthquakes are the nemesis of such rocks..."
Laffitte observed and remarked.
"Pizarro's attack did not pose a threat to the captain."
Shiryu said the same thing.
Avalo Pizarro appeared stunned, clearly not expecting his move to be effortlessly countered.
At this moment, Blackbeard had already wiped away the smile on his face. If a captain in the pirate crew lacks authority, he would rather assemble a new crew with weaker individuals.
To establish authority over these powerful individuals, the best approach is to completely win them over!
"Let's see if you can stop this!"
Blackbeard said calmly, and in an instant, his body transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished.
Upon reappearing, he was already above Avalo Pizarro's head. By this point, he had amassed a considerable amount of lighting in his lightning-charged hand.
He struck Avalo Pizarro with a single punch!
The formidable lightning transforms into a thunder column, penetrating downward!
"Earth Fortress!"
Avalo Pizarro's expression turned solemn as thick earth and rocks instantly gathered above his head, colliding with the descending thunder and lightning.
Just as he struggled to block it, he suddenly felt strange.
Before he could react, a ray of lightning gathered in front of his eyes, taking the form of a Blackbeard.
Avalo Pizarro's forehead broke out in dense beads of sweat.
Because the opponent's fist was already cloaked in the power of Armament Haki and the force of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Blackbeard suddenly threw a punch at Avalo Pizarro.
"Boom!!!"
Avalo Pizarro's entire body was sent flying backward, blood spewing from his mouth.
Avalo Pizarro was seriously injured with just one punch!
"Captain Blackbeard can already proficiently use two fruit abilities!"
Burgess exclaimed with excitement after witnessing Blackbeard's show of power.
"No wonder the captain has been focusing on improving his physical strength lately. Using two fruit abilities is too much for anyone!"
Van Augur remarked with narrowed eyes.
"However, the impact of using both abilities together is truly terrifying"
Laffitte commented with a hint of astonishment.
Shiryu, Catarina Devon, Vasco Shot, and Gion all displayed a trace of shock on their faces.
These are just two types of fruit abilities—what if there are three?
"I'm not convinced!"
Avalo Pizarro wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and glared angrily at Blackbeard.
In his view, this defeat was due to his lack of understanding of Blackbeard's abilities.
His body then seamlessly melded with the earth beneath his feet, becoming one with the ground.
The entire island started shaking violently, and a large amount of land on the island began to levitate in the air.
Shortly after, a third of the island's surface land had gathered in the air, creating a colossal cloud that obscured the sky and the sun, taking the shape of a fist!
This punch has the power to effortlessly wipe out a small country!
"Is this Avalo Pizarro's strength? No wonder he's so arrogant!"
Burgess exclaimed in shock as he witnessed the scene.
"It looks like Avalo Pizarro won't give up until he's completely defeated by the captain"
Shiryu murmured upon observing the scene.
Seeing this, Blackbeard refrained from using the Dark Fruit ability.
If he wanted to convince Avalo Pizarro of his defeat, he needed to overpower him with absolute strength!
"Just in time for you to experience the new technique I've been developing, which I call Fruit Combo."
A glint of madness flickered in Blackbeard's eyes. He clenched his fists, and his entire arm transformed into lightning.
The thunder fists, now covered in white pale light,.which mean that Blackbeard used Thunder and Tremor-tremor fruit at the same time!

Note: Blackbeard doesn't have Conqueror Haki, it's just some kind charisma from his wild ambition and confidence. And does Blackbeard will have Conqueror Haki? We'll see,
