Even though I missed the heart, Blackbeard was punched pretty hard. He roared in pain, but he refused to fall.
"Bastards!! I am going to kill you!!!"
Suddenly a huge amount of darkness erupted wildly from his body. Then he swung his massive arms in wide arcs.
"Darkness Slash!!"
It was like a sword attack but with a darkness attribute. The waves of black energy cut through the battlefield, forcing us to dodge. Even injured and with one heart destroyed, his endurance and power were monstrous.
He laughed through the pain while blood dripped from his mouth.
"Zihahahaha...! You think destroying one heart is enough to kill me?! I have more than you can imagine!!"
Despite the heavy damage, he was getting more desperate and savage. His movements were becoming wilder, but I could see that he was trying to create the opening to run away.
I narrowed my eyes.
"Keep the pressure on! Don't give him a single moment to stabilize!"
The coordinated assault from all seven of us continued relentlessly. Ann's flames, Lily's rubbery barrage, Kuina's precise sword strikes, Robin's restraining arms, Vivi's sand control, and my overwhelming physical power kept Blackbeard on the defensive. Even when someone was slightly injured, Kaya healed them quickly.
But even so, the battle was going on for hours. Even with one heart destroyed, Blackbeard ws giving quite a fight.
The battle raged on with relentless intensity.
Blackbeard was bleeding profusely, yet his monstrous endurance was keeping him standing. Even with one heart destroyed, he continued swinging his massive arms, sending waves of darkness across the battlefield.
"Darkness Slash!!"
I dodged the black energy wave and shouted, "Ann! Now!"
Ann's eyes burned with pure hatred. She gathered an enormous amount of flames around her right arm, compressing them into a long, spear-like shape. The fire glowed white-hot as she infused it with Armament Haki and a heavy layer of Conqueror's Haki.
"Flame Spear: Vulcan's Wrath!!"
She hurled the blazing spear with all her strength. The compressed flame shot forward like a meteor, piercing through the air with terrifying speed and power.
Blackbeard tried to block it with a wall of darkness, but the spear was too fast and too concentrated. It tore through his defense and slammed directly into his chest.
BOOOOM!!
The flaming spear exploded inside his body, completely destroying his second heart in a burst of fire and Haki.
"GAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
Blackbeard let out a blood-curdling scream as he dropped to one knee. Blood gushed from his mouth and the massive wound in his chest. His body trembled violently as the pain from two destroyed hearts was overwhelming him. And add to the fact that the Dark-Dark Devil Fruit doubles the pain. He was on the verge of losing his consciousness due to pain.
"You... damned... BITCH...!!" he shouted while coughing up even more blood.
The loss of the second heart had visibly weakened him. His movements had become slower, and the darkness around his body was flickering unsteadily. However, he still refused to fall. A third heart seemed to keep him conscious. But he was clearly weaker than before.
He was also desperate. All his crew members had already died. He has lost his two hearts. Moreover, his trump card, Dark-Dark Devil Fruit power, which could make other devil fruit powers useless, was not working on any girls.
Ann was standing while breathing heavily, as the last attack had consumed a huge amount of stamina. Moreover, the intense attack had caused the plugs inside her holes to shift violently, but she ignored the lewd sensation, focusing entirely on her revenge.
Blackbeard was at his weakest moment. I didn't waste the opening.
"Everyone! Full assault!!"
Lily stretched her arm back and launched forward with maximum power.
"Gomu Gomu No Black Bazooka!!"
Kuina appeared like a silver flash.
"One Sword Style - Divine Dragon's Descent!!"
Robin sprouted hundreds of arms to pin him down.
"Ochenta Fleur: Gigantesco Mano!!"
Vivi created a giant sand fist to crush him from the side.
I coated my entire arm with Advanced Conqueror's Haki and Internal Destruction, then drove my fist straight toward his third and final heart.
"Dragon Annihilation Fist!!"
BOOOOOOM!!!
The combined assault from all seven of us hit Blackbeard simultaneously. The desert exploded in a massive shockwave of fire, sand, rubber, sword energy, and overwhelming Haki.
Blackbeard's scream echoed across the battlefield as his final heart was shattered under the relentless barrage.
His massive body finally began to collapse.
"Impossible... I... was supposed to... become... the Pirate King... Zihaha..."
His voice grew weaker as darkness slowly faded from his body. Blood poured from multiple fatal wounds. For the first time, genuine terror and disbelief filled his eyes as he realized his end had come.
Blackbeard's massive body collapsed heavily onto the sand, and the huge amount of blood started pooling beneath him.
He wasn't moving. His eyes were wide open, staring lifelessly at the sky. For a moment, silence fell over the battlefield.
But I wasn't willing to take any risks.
"Continue the attack!!" I shouted. "Ann, burn his body completely!! Don't leave even a single piece intact!"
Ann didn't hesitate for even a second. Her eyes burned with cold fury as she raised both hands.
"Fire Incarnation: Purgatory Blaze!!"
She poured every ounce of her enhanced power into the attack. A massive pillar of white-hot flames, infused with Armament and Conqueror's Haki, erupted from her palms and engulfed Blackbeard's entire body.
At the same time, I stepped forward and unleashed a barrage of attacks to ensure nothing remained.
"Dragon Annihilation Cannon!!"
I fired a concentrated beam of Haki-infused energy straight into the flames.
Lily followed up immediately.
"Gomu Gomu no Black Rubber Cannon!!"
A gigantic rubbery fist slammed down from above, crushing what was left.
Kuina moved like lightning.
"One Sword Style Final Judgement Slash!!"
A devastating horizontal slash cut through the burning body, slicing it into pieces before the flames consumed them.
Robin sprouted hundreds of arms across the battlefield.
"Cien Fleur: Gigantesco Espada!!"
Her arms formed giant blades that stabbed and shredded the remains.
Vivi created a massive sandstorm around the burning corpse.
"Desert Funeral!!"
The sand swirled violently, grinding the charred pieces into dust.
We didn't stop until there was nothing left.
Blackbeard's body was completely incinerated. Even his bones were turned to ash. The intense flames and combined attacks left only a large scorched crater on the desert floor, with faint black smoke rising into the sky.
There was nothing remaining of Marshall D. Teach not a single piece, not even a fragment. Even the ashes were scattered by the desert wind.
I stood there breathing steadily, staring at the scorched ground where Blackbeard had fallen.
As the last traces of Blackbeard's ashes scattered into the desert wind, I didn't waste even a second.
I quickly opened my system inventory and took out a strange, pure white Devil Fruit. Its surface was smooth and almost glowing. This was the Devil Fruit Catching Fruit - a rare system item I had purchased earlier for 100,000 Lust Energy Points.
I wouldn't have wasted such a large amount on any ordinary devil fruit. But the Dark-Dark Fruit was far too dangerous and special to leave behind. It was the natural enemy of Lily's Nika Fruit (the Sun God Fruit). I refused to take any risk of it reappearing in someone else's hands in the future.
The moment Blackbeard's life completely ended, I activated the catching fruit.
The white fruit began to glow intensely. A powerful suction force spread outward. The wave was invisible to the naked eye. Suddenly, faint dark particles began rising from the scorched ground where Blackbeard had been destroyed.
The white fruit started changing. Then the spiral patterns began appearing on its surface and quietly started twisting and darkening rapidly. The pure white color shifted into a deep, ominous purple-black hue.
In just a few seconds, the transformation was complete.
In my hand now rested the real Dark-Dark Devil Fruit (Yami Yami no Mi), with its signature swirling dark patterns.
I looked at it for a moment, then quietly stored it deep inside my system inventory where no one could ever access it.
'Good. Now no one will ever be able to use this power again.'
I let out a long breath and turned to the girls.
The battlefield was silent. All of Blackbeard's crew had been defeated, and the man himself had been completely erased from existence. Even his Devil Fruit was captured like Pokémon.
Ann slowly walked toward the spot where Blackbeard had died. Her expression was complicated. It was the mix of relief, sadness, and closure all mixed together.
"Thatch... it's finally over. I took revenge for you."
The other girls gradually gathered around Ann. Even though they were exhausted and still feeling the lewd aftereffects of being plugged and filled for so long, the victory was clear on their faces.
I smiled at them.
"We did it. Blackbeard is dead. Let's head back to the city and rest properly. We've earned a real celebration,"
Finally, Blackbeard, one of the greatest threats and a major antagonist in this world, was dead.
