Carl, who was floating in mid-air, had completely turned into a human-shaped black hole, and the seawater rushing towards him was sucked into the darkness in a spiral shape.
As a large amount of sea flowed in, Carl's body suddenly burst into dazzling white light, and a white spherical barrier loomed around his body.
This vision caused a commotion among the Whitebeard Pirates.
"He's sucked all the seawater into his body. What does he plan to do?"
"Isn't he a Devil Fruit user? Shouldn't he be afraid of the sea?"
"Damn it! This Marine is up to something dangerous again!"
Standing at the bow of the ship, Whitebeard squinted his eyes and watched as the white light around Carl became more intense.
In the white light, the gravity emanating from Carl had stopped. He slowly opened his eyes and whispered,
"Shinra Tensei!"
Buzz!
With Carl as the core, a repulsive force spread out, pushing everything aside. Along with the repulsive force, the large amount of seawater that had just been sucked into his body exploded outward.
Everything happened so fast. Before Whitebeard's side could react, several ships had been washed away by the rough waves.
However, more terrifying than the seawater was the invisible repulsion.
Under the impact of this repulsive force, except for the Moby Dick, which had the strongest hull, the remaining ships that were fortunate enough to withstand the waves were directly bombarded into pieces.
The pirates on those ships had their internal organs shattered by the repulsive force.
The pirate ships were buried in the sea together.
Although the Moby Dick withstood the impact of the repulsive force, fine cracks appeared in places on the hull. The entire ship was pushed back several miles by the repulsive force, and the Marine warship was no longer visible at all.
Whitebeard stretched out an arm and stood like a sculpture on the bow of the ship. He had used Haki to withstand most of the impact from Shinra Tensei just now. Otherwise, the Moby Dick and its crew would have been in serious danger.
Slowly putting away his numb arm, Whitebeard frowned and stared in the direction of the warship that had been there just moments ago.
Marco walked up to Whitebeard and asked with a worried look on his face,
"Dad, are you okay?"
After the impact of Shinra Tensei, the damage to the Whitebeard Pirates was catastrophic. Since the establishment of the crew, they had never suffered such a heavy loss. Marco was deeply concerned about Whitebeard's current mental state.
Whitebeard shook his head and whispered,
"Marco, any news from the other ships?"
"No, Dad. In that situation, I'm afraid they..."
Marco didn't say more, the words stuck in his throat.
A look of grief appeared on Whitebeard's face. He lowered his head and was silent for a long time before speaking,
"That Marine brat is called Carl, right?"
When it came to Carl, Marco's eyes were full of resentment. He nodded vigorously and said,
"Yes, Dad! I heard it on the warship. He claimed to be a student of the Marine School! His Devil Fruit power seems to be the Dark-Dark Fruit from the Logia type!"
"A student... Marine really recruited a monster this time. Logia, and the Dark-Dark Fruit at that."
Marco wanted to say more, but suddenly a nurse rushed out of the cabin and shouted,
"It's not good! Captain Oden lost too much blood. The situation is very critical now. Marco, come quickly, we need your ability!"
Upon hearing the news, both Whitebeard and Marco's expressions changed. Marco rushed into the cabin to rescue Oden, ignoring the injury on his shoulder.
On the Warship:
The white light in mid-air dissipated, revealing Carl's figure inside.
Carl's face looked a little pale, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. It was obvious that Shinra Tensei had consumed a lot of his energy.
Just now, he was able to stay in the air by extremely condensing the dark gravity. After unleashing such a powerful attack, he was now too weak to even maintain Geppo, and he began to fall rapidly from the air.
Lucia on the deck instantly spread her black wings, dashed into the air, and caught Carl in her arms. Looking at the weak Carl in her embrace, Lucia felt a pang of heartache.
"Young Master, you..."
Carl stretched out a finger and touched Lucia's red lips. He forced a smile and said,
"You forgot to call me cousin in front of others again? Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just the first time I used this move, so I overexerted myself."
Carl took a few deep breaths, and his complexion gradually improved.
The White Hole Shinra Tensei was a technique he had planned for a long time. With the memories of Earth, he knew of the existence of a special celestial body called the White Hole. As a user of the Dark-Dark Fruit, he realized he could potentially transform into a White Hole.
A white hole is exactly the opposite of a black hole. While a black hole attracts everything, a white hole releases everything, repelling all matter.
The principle was simple. When Carl transformed into a humanoid black hole, he extremely condensed the dark gravity he controlled, eventually transforming into a white hole that repels everything.
Naturally, this attack move was named after Rinnegan's Shinra Tensei from the Hokage world. However, its essence remained a natural disaster akin to a White Hole.
Lucia and Carl slowly landed on the deck. Carl's recovery ability was remarkable. In a short time, he had recovered from his weakened state and appeared to be fine.
However, everyone on the ship was still in a state of shock. The power displayed by Shinra Tensei was overwhelming.
Even the two Logia users, Akainu and Borsalino, couldn't help but look at each other, their thoughts surprisingly in sync.
"Can we ever reach this level of power?"
It took a long time for Zephyr to recover from the shock. He walked up to Carl, looked him up and down, and asked,
"Carl, how are you feeling now? I saw you seemed to lose strength earlier."
"Yeah, I didn't control the intensity well. If I do it again, I might collapse."
"Nani? You could do it again?"
Carl raised his eyebrows, looked at Zephyr suspiciously, and said,
"What's the matter, Mr. Zephyr? You don't want me to take on Whitebeard again, do you?"
"Well, not exactly. You should rest well first. Your performance this time is truly beyond belief. To be honest, I'm not even sure how to report this to Admiral Sengoku."
Hearing this, Carl waved his hand dismissively and said with an indifferent expression,
"I just did what I had to do. Sakazuki and the others were also very good. We wouldn't have defeated Kozuki Oden if it weren't for everyone working together."
What Carl said was true. Before he transformed, Borsalino and Akainu played their roles well as support, and Kuma helped distract the other forces of the Whitebeard Pirates. Everyone contributed significantly to the victory.
