103 102 Black Sun, Retirement Gift

Sabo was injured by Blackbeard's punch. 

The surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

The people in the town looked at Blackbeard in stunned silence and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Is this the power of the Four Emperors? 

The second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army stands no chance against him!

Sabo glanced around, aware that every move he made was being closely monitored by the Titanic captains of the Blackbeard Pirates.

"Flame Emperor!" 

A ball of flame soared upward, gradually condensing into a small sun above his head.

"Ace once try to resist just like you, but it was no use" 

Blackbeard said casually as a cloud of black smoke rose from his body, converging into a black sun in the sky.

The black sun he condensed appeared more than twice as large as Sabo's Flame Emperor!

During his six-month training, among his many fruit abilities, the Dark Fruit was the one he studied most diligently.

Because this is the only fruit that can truly be said to belong to him.

"Terrifying!"

"Run for your lives! Blackbeard's power is too strong, and the Revolutionary Army's Sabo has begun fighting with all his strength!"

Witnessing the two suns—one a flame ball pulsating with flame like a small house, and the other a pure ball of darkness, twice the size of the flame ball, with an eerie and overwhelming aura that seemed to swallow light itself—people fled frantically, running as far away as possible.

"The Captain's mastery of the Darkness Fruit has greatly improved!" 

Burgess exclaimed, his face filled with shock as he witnessed the scene.

After all, Blackbeard rarely use the full potential of the Darkness Fruit nowadays, and when he does, he still holds back his full strength.

Moreover, Burgess had witnessed a similar encounter between Blackbeard and Sabo before.

.That was when Blackbeard captured Ace.

The power of the Darkness Fruit back then was obviously different from its current strength!

"Indeed, it's difficult to imagine what other trump cards Captain Blackbeard has and what he experienced during his six months of training. This change is truly terrifying!"

Catarina Devon couldn't help but said as she felt the power emanating from Blackbeard's black sun.

"Half a year ago, I at least had the courage to challenge the captain, but now I don't even dare to try..."

Avalo Pizarro spoke up, taking the initiative. Compared to before, he had set aside his previous arrogance. Now, he held absolute respect for Blackbeard.

After hearing his words, the other captains also had smiles on their faces.

This is what each of them thinks.

Who would have imagined that in just six months, Blackbeard would transform into such a formidable and terrifying force on the sea!

At that moment, two suns—one black and one yellow—collided with each other!

"Boom!" 

The tremendous impact caused all the surrounding houses to collapse, and the entire island trembled.

People on the island fled desperately towards the distance, some being caught in the collision before they could escape, engulfed by the shockwave.

To these ordinary people, this level of confrontation resembled a natural disaster! Doesn't really take a while for the darkness to engulf all the flames.

Several surrounding towns were shrouded in darkness, presenting a terrifying sight.

Contrasting with the usual colorful and bright Dressrosa, the entire island instantly plunged into night, and the area near the Colosseum became pitch-black, resembling midnight.

Blackbeard stood in the middle of the darkness, his body was still emitting black smoke.

Then he retracted the power of the Dark Fruit, and the black smoke shrouding the island swiftly gathered towards him, entering his body.

As the sky returned to its original state, all the people remained shocked, including those of Blackbeard Pirates Crew.

The buildings near the Colosseum were flattened, and the Colosseum itself vanished entirely, leaving behind a massive crater. The port beneath the Colosseum was completely obliterated. In front of Blackbeard, they could see Sabo lying on the ground, dying.

The Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army was defeated!

"Blackbeard!" 

A strong voice echoed from the distance, drawing everyone's attention to an old blind man on crutches.

"Clatter!"

"Clatter!"

"Clatter!"

Admiral Fujitora walked over casually to the edge of the crater.

Behind him stood retired Sengoku, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and the restrained Donquixote Doflamingo, bound by sea stone shackles!

"Admiral Fujitora! Former Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku! And Vice Admiral Tsuru! And Doflamingo!" 

The people around exclaimed, who were fortunate enough not dying in the aftermath.

They looked at the Marines' lineup in shock. 

It could be said that each one of them was a big name.

"Aokiji! How could you join Blackbeard Pirates!" 

Sengoku's expression turned visibly uncomfortable after seeing Aokiji. After all, Aokiji was once his favorite admiral.

"I am now a member of Captain Blackbeard's crew and the 10th Titanic Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. The past has passed, so there's no need to mention it again" 

Kuzan's words were decisive, cutting off all ties with the Marines in a single sentence.

"BLACKBEARD!" 

Then, an angry voice interrupted everyone's conversation.

Doflamingo glared at Blackbeard with bloodshot eyes.

Because of Blackbeard, everything he had worked for had vanished into nothingness—his family, his reputation, his power, his business, his territory, and his freedom!

"Doflamingo, you look so pitiful, it's almost laughable, Zeehahaha!" 

Blackbeard disregarded everyone else, looked at Doflamingo and laughed.

"If I get the chance, I'll definitely kill you with my own hands!" 

Doflamingo, fierce as a wild beast, stared at Blackbeard intently with blood seeping from his teeth

"You'd better prepare to spend your life in prison" 

Blackbeard laughed again upon hearing this.

"Are you Blackbeard? "

Fujitora asked in confusion, his face particularly serious.

With his powerful Observation Haki, Fujitora sensed that the aura emanating from Blackbeard surpassed that of anyone else present.

"Why is this newly appointed Admiral blind? Can't your Marines find someone else?" 

Blackbeard deliberately provoked, his smile faint.

The faces of the surrounding Marines changed, but none dared to speak up.

In just a moment, they went from feeling confident to trembling in the face of Blackbeard's overwhelming pressure.

"Although I am blind, what I perceive through other senses may not be inferior to many others. Don't underestimate a blind man!" 

Fujitora said calmly in response.

"I don't want to fight you today. Instead, I have a retirement gift in mind for the former Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku" 

Blackbeard said, smiling at Sengoku.

As Sengoku looked at him like this, a sense of unease crept into his heart.

"What gift?" 

Sengoku asked

"Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, is sworn brothers with Ace and Luffy. He's Luffy's elder brother and Ace's other brother" 

Blackbeard continued speaking calmly, but he could see that the expressions of everyone present had changed greatly

After finishing his speech, he smiled at Sengoku and remarked, "What do you think? Isn't this gift precious? Do you like it or not? Zeehahaha!"

Immediately after that, Burgess handed Sabo over to the Marines.

"Is this why you came here?!"

Sengoku looked at Sabo, who had fallen into a coma. While he should have been pleased to have captured the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, he couldn't find any joy in the situation. He understood Blackbeard's intentions all too well.

Blackbeard handed Sabo to him, it was similar to the situation with Ace before. Even though he knew it was a difficult situation, the Marines had to deal with it.
