The cycle of life has ended, but death is not the end.

Chapter 83 The cycle of life has ended, but death is not the end.

This kid's attack is truly bizarre! The way it causes him excruciating pain all over his body, even making him see some abnormal phenomena, and weakening his abilities in every way, is terrifying.

"Hahaha! I never expected to see a man like you on this vast ocean. The Curse Fruit is truly a peculiar ability," Blackbeard said.

"Captain! This cursed fruit seems perfect for me!" Doc Q, riding a super skinny but strong horse, walked over and said.

This curse ability, tormenting enemies in a very bizarre way, is extremely useful! It suits him perfectly.

Upon hearing this, Blackbeard rolled his eyes. "You bastard, I know this stuff is perfect for you."

But didn't you see that he's Kaido's subordinate? And his strength isn't weak either; it won't be easy to steal his Devil Fruit.

And why did you have to say it, you bastard? Everyone here is a master of Observation Haki; even if you speak softly, they can still hear you.

"Hahaha! Want my power? Then come and try!" Rhodes said, holding his staff and looking at the black-bearded man.

That bastard hid a bit too far; my casting range isn't enough!

"Hahaha! Your curse ability should have a certain distance limit, right? As long as I keep my distance from you, your Devil Fruit ability will be ineffective, am I right?" Blackbeard laughed triumphantly as he saw that Rhodes did not attack again.

"Heh! But can you undo the damage my ability has caused you? Let me tell you, my ability is not what you think; it will torment you forever," Rhodes said with a mysterious smile.

Just kidding, I was taking good care of you just now, spamming you with all sorts of evil magic, like I was risking my life.

Do you think fel energy is just a warlock ability in a game? You think you can just run away and jump around for a while and be fine?

No, no, no, you're mistaken, Blackbeard. Fel energy will cause you permanent damage, which is why warlocks are the most hated and feared people in the world of Azeroth.

The pain inflicted by evil is permanent, and the desire is to remove this pain.

You need to find a master of nature, life, or holy light to eliminate the continuous corrosive effect of this evil energy on your body.

Upon hearing this, the black-bearded man's expression changed drastically. He looked at his body, where Rhodes had just used the Curse of Rot, and the area was still festering.

Within his own body, a strange green energy was destroying his vitality and his life.

"Your ability is permanent? How could you possibly have such a Devil Fruit?" Blackbeard said to Rhodes with an incredulous expression.

On this vast ocean, there is a universally acknowledged fact: no matter how bizarre the power of a Devil Fruit is, as long as your Haki is strong enough, you can neutralize the effects of that fruit.

On this vast ocean, only dominance matters!

But today, this ironclad rule has been broken. I am a master of all three types of Haki: Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and Observation Haki!

Even with all his Haki activated, he couldn't break this ability. No, that's not right! It's not entirely useless either; it did alleviate the problem somewhat, but the strength of his Haki was still insufficient.

Worst of all, the green fel energy he kept within him seemed to be devouring his life force and growing stronger.

"Blackbeard, you have been afflicted by my life curse. Your life energy will be slowly devoured. Unless I remove it, you will die soon."

"And the death will be incredibly gruesome. All the life energy in your body will be absorbed, turning you into a dried-up corpse, suffering immense pain. You will watch your flesh wither and rot day by day," Rhodes said.

"So can we disband now? Boss, it looks like you're not going to make it." The Evil King said with a grin.

"Disband! Disband!" The big barrel took a big gulp of wine and said drunkenly.

The other criminals who escaped from Impel Down also looked at Blackbeard with mockery.

Their faces showed absolutely no concern for their captain; in fact, they all wore expressions of schadenfreude.

They are a group of ruthless and vicious pirates. On this sea, you can only trust yourself.

They'll follow the captain when he brings them benefits, but if he doesn't, well, they'll be the first to kill him.

This is the way pirates survive.

"Damn it, you brat, what do you think you're doing?" The black-bearded man looked at Rhodes with a sinister expression and said.

This time, he really couldn't laugh.

"You should ask Kaido what he wants from you. After all, I'm just following orders," Rhodes said with a smile.

Kaido was extremely pleased with himself. In front of everyone, Rod acknowledged him as his subordinate, which made Kaido very happy.

Even though their relationship is reversed, you're giving me face by saying that in front of outsiders!

"Your name is Blackbeard, right? I heard you can steal other people's Devil Fruit abilities. I need your help in a bit. Take out this guy's Devil Fruit for me. If you do, I'll consider not killing you," Kaido said.

Upon hearing this, the black-bearded man's eyes widened instantly!

Are you kidding me? Why? Why would Kaido know about my abilities?

The most unique ability he gained after eating the Dark-Dark Fruit was the ability to steal other people's Devil Fruits, an ability he only revealed to a few of his subordinates.

Could it be that...?

The black-bearded man glared fiercely at the group of prisoners he had recruited, as well as his four initial recruits.

"Hey! Captain, don't look at me like that. I haven't leaked any information," Lafitte said, somewhat speechless.

The sniper Van Auger standing to the side was also speechless. Was this some kind of mistake?

Shouldn't you have suspected the prisoners in Impel Down first? Maybe one of them leaked the information.

"Alright, Blackbeard, hurry up and make a decision! Do you want to help me?" Kaido said, propping his spiked club on the ground.

"Hahaha! You're here to steal the Tremor-Tremor Fruit too, aren't you? I didn't expect a monster like you to have your eye on Whitebeard's abilities," Blackbeard said.

"Hmph! I do value Whitebeard's abilities, but this time the ability I'm letting you take isn't his, but someone else's. Hurry up and answer my question," Kaido said.

"I understand, I will help you, but after I finish my work, you have to let me and my companions leave," the black-bearded man said.

"Who wants to leave with you? Idiot, you probably can't keep your promise to us, can you?" the tyrannical king said impatiently.

The other Impel Down pirates also looked at Blackbeard with mocking expressions. If you can't keep your promise, we won't follow you.

"Isn't it just a performance opportunity soon? It's just a change of target, what are you worried about? My abilities will amaze you sooner or later," the black-bearded man said.

"Then I hope you keep your word, Captain!" Shiryu of the Rain said.

"snort!"

"These damned pirates, do they even respect me? Do they even respect the Marines?" Sengoku the Buddha led the three admirals, and Marine hero Garp stood in the distance, looking furious.

"Fleet Admiral, let's wait and see! Kaido's target doesn't seem to be our Marines. Let their pirates fight amongst themselves first; we just need to step in last to clean up the mess," Akainu said.

Although the Navy's upper echelons suffered no losses in the all-out battle against the Whitebeard Pirates, their resources were severely depleted, making it unwise to continue fighting under these circumstances.

After all, Kaido is no ordinary pirate, but a top-tier Yonko. Who knows if the Beasts Pirates are on their way?

Let Kaido of the Beasts fight Blackbeard or Whitebeard first, so that he can take the opportunity to recover some strength to deal with the next battle.

Sengoku nodded upon hearing this, and led several admirals and the entire navy to retreat to the back. Facing Kaido of the Beasts, Blackbeard, and Whitebeard at the same time, their navy was really struggling.

The navy's actions naturally did not escape Rhodes's eyes, but Rhodes didn't care. As long as he could get his business done, he didn't care about anything else.

"I'll see Whitebeard off first, and we'll continue later." Kaido smiled, raised his big club, and looked at Whitebeard beside him.

"You bastard, what are you trying to do to Dad? Stop it right now!" Marco shouted anxiously.

"Marco, take all your brothers and leave Marine Headquarters now, and return to the New World," Whitebeard said, turning his head to say, before engaging Kaido in battle.

But in just one exchange, Whitebeard was knocked to the ground and seriously injured. Coupled with his old age and declining health, he was no match for Kaido at this point.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't damage his body," Rod said.

"Hmph! I know, brat, Whitebeard, let me send you on your final journey! Blood Thunder Bagua." In addition to Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, Kaido's spiked club was also imbued with a blood-red energy.

Then a fierce blow struck the white-bearded man, breaking his weapon in two.

The white-bearded man staggered back a few steps, barely managing to stand. At that moment, his consciousness began to blur, and his life was finally coming to an end.

"Ahem! One Piece is real!" After shouting this, Whitebeard closed his eyes forever.

Goodbye, my sons, this time it will be a final farewell!

"Dad!"

"Heh! The cycle of life has ended, but death is not the end!"
