Bab 243: 242 Blind Loyalty
The clash between Whitebeard and Blackbeard unfolded on the coast, while Charles Vane and Sanjuan Wolf were positioned at a certain distance from the shoreline.
The Whitebeard and Blackbeard Pirates resumed their battle in the woods near the town.
Whitebeard awaited a massive wave to crash towards Blackbeard, who remained subdued by the impact of Whitebeard's attack.
Confronted by the oncoming massive waves, Blackbeard's heart pounded fiercely.
"How can this happen? How could I go down like this!"
Blackbeard's eyes were filled with reluctance.
However, he was helpless now, unable to stop the incoming wave.
Blackbeard possesses two Devil Fruit powers and is more vulnerable to seawater than the average fruit user.
In this situation, Blackbeard was particularly frightened because, due to his Dark Fruit ability, the pain he received was doubled.
Therefore, if he comes into contact with seawater, it's not just a matter of being powerless for Blackbeard; it becomes life-threatening.
Just as Blackbeard was reaching a point of desperation, a colossal figure suddenly charged in.
A sturdy figure swiftly positioned itself in front of Blackbeard, using its massive form as a shield.
"What!"
Charles Vane exclaimed in surprise as he witnessed the scene. He had just summoned a tornado and was on the verge of delivering a decisive blow to Sanjuan Wolf.
However, Sanjuan Wolf suddenly charged through, passing directly through the center of the tornado.
Charles Vane wasn't aware of the extent of the damage Sanjuan Wolf had sustained, but he recognized the undeniable strength of Sanjuan Wolf's willpower.
Without unwavering determination, it's impossible to pass through a massive tornado using only one's own body.
Given the vast area, he understood that the tornado created by himself has huge sucking power, with the central part of the tornado having greater force and damage.
It was a miracle that Sanjuan Wolf could pass through the center. So, when Charles Vane discerned San Juan's intention behind this, he was taken aback.
It turned out that Sanjuan Wolf's objective was to shield Blackbeard.
He noticed that Sanjuan Wolf's massive body was marked with numerous scars, all inflicted by the tornado.
In that critical moment, Sanjuan Wolf saw Blackbeard in anger and had no choice but to navigate through the tornado via the nearest route.
Sanjuan Wolf's island-like body effectively blocked the majority of the waves, preventing any harm from reaching Blackbeard.
"Hm, I'm okay."
Blackbeard couldn't endure the vibrations from Whitebeard and was knocked out, but he realized he wasn't submerged in the sea and felt fortunate.
"Surprisingly, Blackbeard still has such a loyal subordinate"
Whitebeard sighed as he observed Sanuan Wolf's injured body.
Even though he's an enemy, Whitebeard has some admiration for Sanjuan Wolf because he reminds him of someone.
That was Little Oars Jr. of the Giants. In the battle at Marineford, Oz sacrificed himself to save Ace.
They all have huge bodies and display great loyalty, though on the surface, they may appear a bit stupid.
Blackbeard quickly stood up, and as the waves subsided, he quickly stepped onto Sanjuan Wolf's body.
"Great job, San Juan. You've indeed worthy of my trust. Let's defeat him together"
Blackbeard said joyfully to Sanjuan Wolf.
"Ahhhhh!"
Upon hearing Blackbeard's words, Sanjuan Wolf immediately shouted, displaying a strong eagerness for battle.
"Zeehahahaha, Whitebeard, this is my crew. Unlike you, who sees the crew as your sons, I treat them like brothers"
Blackbeard proudly exclaimed to Whitebeard.
Blackbeard also secretly observed the current situation. At the moment, his other crew members and Whitebeard's commander were no longer present.
At the moment, only he, Whitebeard, San Juan, and Charles Vane were present here.
Blackbeard stood in a high position, observing Charles Vane, who appeared exhausted and fell to the ground to rest.
Therefore, Blackbeard believes that he and Sanjuan Wolf have a chance to win together. If Shiryu and others come to help later, their chances of winning will be even greater.
Therefore, maybe due to having crew members to protect him, Blackbeard's confidence has significantly increased at this moment, and he decides to fight Whitebeard no matter what.
Whitebeard's eyes dimmed; he felt that Blackbeard's words were completely naive.
Little did he know that even the combination of Garp and Kizaru wasn't considered strong in his eyes, let alone these two individuals who were not even on par with Garp alone.
"Vane, how are you? If you can still move, find a safe place to rest."
Whitebeard used the power of the vibration to delivered the sound and convey his message.
Observing Charles Vane's condition, Whitebeard became concerned that the upcoming battle might have affected him.
Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, Charles Vane immediately started moving.
But he's completely helpless, he could only crawl on the ground, taking one step at a time.
"Damn it, I couldn't even defeat him like this!"
Frustrated, he crawled and punched the ground in annoyance.
With his strongest move, Sanjuan Wolf could emerge unharmed and stay in action.
This made Charles Vane doubt his capabilities, but he is pushing himself to expend all his strength in preparation for earlier attack
This is like his ultimate trump card, and he hasn't been able to defeat this Sanjuan Wolf. It appears that his training is still not enough
But what Charles Vane didn't know was that Sanjuan Wolf didn't have much power left, and if it weren't for Blackbeard, he might have fallen.
The reason he can endure it is because of Blackbeard. Sanjuan Wolf has always been deeply grateful for releasing him from Impel Down.
So, when he saw Blackbeard in danger, he felt a surge of strength, driven by the desire to rescue him.
"I'm gonna kill you!"
Sanjuan Wolf shouted at Whitebeard, clenching his fists.
Meanwhile, Blackbeard stood on Sanjuan's shoulders, triumphantly looking at Whitebeard.
Whitebeard really doesn't want someone like him to be exploited by Blackbeard.
"Teach, is this how you treat a brother? Haven't you noticed the scars on his body? He's already seriously injured"
Whitebeard said heavily.
"Zeehahaha, Sanjuan's body is incredibly strong. Why, feeling scared now?"
Blackbeard smiled triumphantly. He sensed that Whitebeard might be scared about his collaboration with Sanjuan.
Whitebeard shook his head, looking at Blackbeard with a sense of disdain.
Afraid? This is just giving you a moment in the spotlight, and you think you're shining. Who am I, Whitebeard, afraid of?
"Every person needs self-awareness, Teach. How can you never realize this?"
Whitebeard said helplessly.
"Come on, Sanjuan, attack him!" Blackbeard shouted immediately.
"Uwwaahhh!"
Sanjuan's massive body charged forward, heading straight for Whitebeard.
