Chapter 252 - Chapter 252 : Shanks Appearance!!

Witness as Blackbeard attains the power of the Tremor Fruit.

At this juncture, the entire world stood agape!

Such an occurrence was utterly unprecedented...

As commonly understood, upon the death of a Devil Fruit wielder~.

The Devil Fruit will reappear elsewhere in the vast ocean -.

This permits another individual to inherit the fruit's power.

Yet, never have anyone encountered a scenario where a Devil Fruit's power is instantly transferred upon the host's demise!

Blackbeard's method seems to diverge from seeking out the fruit's ability altogether; rather, it resembles direct usurpation?

How can this be?

It's not just the spectators worldwide who are oblivious to such a phenomenon.

Even those within the Navy Headquarters, the Revolutionary Army, and the Four Emperors are utterly unaware.

To them, inheriting a Devil Fruit's ability instantly is sheer fantasy!

More puzzlingly, Blackbeard already possesses the power of dark fruit.

How, then, can he still inherit the abilities of a second Devil Fruit?

It's widely acknowledged across the globe that an individual cannot wield the powers of two Devil Fruits simultaneously!

How has he managed this feat?

Particularly distressing for the Whitebeard Pirates...

Upon witnessing Blackbeard, many among the crew felt a surge of rage, not only for Blackbeard's betrayal of Whitebeard.

But also for his audacious claim to their late father's fruit!

"How can a betrayer like Blackbeard dare to claim our father's legacy?"

"How has he accomplished this? It defies common sense!"

"He must be apprehended and punished severely to assuage our fury!"

Amidst the fury of numerous crew members, Whitebeard himself appears markedly composed, his demeanor exuding a profound sense of wisdom, as he reflects in the aftermath of the tumultuous events...

"Teach... it appears your capabilities run much deeper than I had anticipated!"

...

[In the scene, after witnessing Blackbeard inheriting Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit,]

[All of the Marines, pirates, even the Shichibukai and others, were left astounded!]

[They stared at the unfolding spectacle before them in utter disbelief, rubbing their eyes, questioning its reality.]

[Simultaneously, Blackbeard let out a crazed laugh, a wild gleam in his eyes!]

"I've done it, at last!"

"Now possessing the two most formidable abilities in the world, who can possibly stand against me?"

"I shall overthrow the entire Marineford!"

At that moment, Sengoku's countenance turned ominously dark.

As the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, he held authority over the entire Marine Headquarters.

Too much tumult had occurred in Marineford today, with his dignity challenged more than once!

And now, Blackbeard emerges suddenly, threatening to topple the entire Marine Headquarters?

Unquestionably, it ignited his fury. Without hesitation...

He invoked his Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu, transforming into the colossal Buddha form!

Leaping from the execution platform, a formidable Tremorwave coalesced in his palm!

Hurtling towards Blackbeard with unrelenting force!

"If you dare to challenge Marineford, then you must face your demise first!"

Rumble...

Under the onslaught of this fearsome Tremorwave, Blackbeard spat blood on the spot!

Yet, he swiftly rallied, rallying his entire crew of the Blackbeard Pirates to confront Sengoku!

Empowered by the dual might of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Darkness-Darkness Fruit!

Even the formidable Fleet Admiral, comparable in strength to a Yonko, found himself challenging to subdue!

The two factions descended into chaos, trading shouts and blows...

[At this pivotal moment, Blackbeard finally achieved initial mastery over the power of the Gura Gura no Mi!]

[Seizing the opportunity to repel Sengoku, he clasped the air with both hands...]

[Much like Whitebeard before him, he exerted immense force!]

[In an instant, an overwhelming power surged forth!]

[The entire Marineford trembled under its impact, and the very sea itself quivered!]

[It felt as though the entire world was teetering on the brink of collapse under the influence of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!]

[Such a monumental shift left everyone in Marineford dumbfounded!]

[Meanwhile, with Jinbei's aid, Luffy continued his frantic escape.]

[The Whitebeard Pirates rallied around them, determined to safeguard Ace's brother at all costs, now that Ace and Whitebeard had fallen.]

[However, the three admirals remained relentless in their pursuit, refusing to let these pirates slip away from Marineford!]

[More allies rushed to aid Luffy, including the Shichibukai and Law, who had emerged from the depths of the sea...]

[Yet, even with their support, Luffy and his companions found themselves perilously close to capture under the unyielding pursuit of the three admirals...]

All eyes were glued to the unfolding spectacle in the sky, each observer consumed by utter astonishment!

Whether they were common folk from all corners of the globe, high-ranking officials of the Navy Headquarters, members of the Revolutionary Army, or the formidable Four Emperors themselves...

Every face bore the same expression of sheer disbelief!

None had anticipated that the war raging above would escalate to such cataclysmic proportions!

Chaos reigned supreme, marking what could very well be the largest battle ever witnessed between the forces of the Navy and the pirates!

So eerie!

Their astonishment knew no bounds...

Firstly, the revelation that Blackbeard had harnessed the power of the Tremor Tremor Fruit, unleashing such dreadfully destructive force.

With both the Dark Dark Fruit and the Tremor Tremor Fruit in his possession, he might indeed emerge as one of the gravest threats to the entire sea in the days to come!

Even Sengoku, the top powerhouse of the navy, found himself unable to swiftly vanquish him!

Furthermore, Luffy lay unconscious, slipping away despite being engulfed by a throng of people.

Yet, with the three admirals hot on his heels, the danger is profound!

In this tumultuous clash, can Luffy truly evade death?

Should he fall in the fray of the Summit War, the navy would claim a resolute triumph!

The pirates, in turn, would endure grievous losses!

As a revered figure of the navy, Garp would suffer the loss of both his grandsons simultaneously in the throes of war.

A pang of sympathy washed over all for this aged Marine Hero.

Meanwhile, the scene unfolds further...

[Just as the chaos of the war reached its climax, an unexpected character emerged...]

[It was none other than Shanks, captain of the Red-Haired Pirates and one of the Four Emperors!]

The Red-Haired Pirates...

Shanks and his crew stood in awe as they witnessed the unfolding events, but they were taken aback.

They never anticipated being drawn into the conflict.

"Why are we here?"

The crew stood speechless. How did they end up involved?

[Shanks standing before the three admirals, shielding Luffy as he made his escape behind him.]

[Many members of the Red-Haired Pirates stood in solidarity behind him, exuding a palpable sense of pressure!]

["Show me some respect and bring this war to an end!"]

["If you haven't had your fill of fighting, then the Red-Haired Pirates, along with myself, Shanks, will fight anyone who wants to fight!"]

[At these words, everyone was stunned!]

[Whether it was the Marines, pirates, or the Warlords, they all gazed in disbelief at Shanks and his crew.]

[They never expected such a statement from Shanks?]

[Even Sengoku, the Marine Fleet Admiral,...]

[found himself speechless in this moment...]
