Blackbeard raised his head in shock, staring at the man walking out from behind Whitebeard, cold sweat seeping down his forehead.
'All the bullets were blocked by him!'
"Star Platinum!" Jotaro shouted in a deep voice, the platinum shadow before him radiating overwhelming aura.
Star Platinum swung both arms, and the bullets it had caught were all returned with even more terrifying power and speed.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi…
'There's no way to block them! Too fast!'
Blackbeard and the others were struck by the rain of bullets, scrambling in panic to hide behind Sanjuan Wolf, using that enormous giant as a meat shield.
"It hurts, ahhh!!!" Sanjuan Wolf clutched his head, collapsing onto the ground.
"Isn't that obvious?! The bullets are coated with his Haki!" Blackbeard's expression was ugly, gritting his teeth.
He glared fixedly at Jotaro ahead, eyes full of dread and fury.
"If I didn't have the power of two Devil Fruits, with Haki on that level… I wouldn't even be a match for him at all!"
"Then we move together." Shiryu of the Rain's tone was calm, carrying an icy resolve. "If we fail, we'll have to disband anyway."
Jotaro looked at the battered and injured Whitebeard and faintly smiled.
"You're still alive, huh."
Whitebeard chuckled with a snort. "Though I've grown old, for useless trash like this to think of killing me… they're far from enough."
Jotaro knew he was forcing himself, but didn't expose it.
"You go save your men. Leave this place to me."
Whitebeard gave him a deep look.
"Teach is someone I couldn't even see through. You must be careful."
The next moment, Teach roared, "All of you, surround him!"
In an instant, Shiryu, Lafitte, Doc Q, Van Augur and the others all moved, murderous intent raging, lunging at Jotaro from every direction.
Sanjuan Wolf's gigantic body blocked Jotaro's front.
'Super Enlargement Technique!'
He was the Expansion Human who ate the Inflate-Inflate Fruit, able to enlarge his body to an extreme size.
Already possessing the massive frame of a giant, with the fruit's ability on top, his size could even reach the scale of a town, easily surpassing the ancient giant Oars Jr.
He swung down his palm.
Before it even landed, the hand that blotted out the sky came crashing down with a crushing weight like a mountain collapsing. The earth rumbled and sank, the surface splitting apart inch by inch, quivering endlessly like a roaring beast.
"You want to test strength with me?"
Jotaro spoke coldly, stomping down hard beneath his feet.
He surged upward against the force, his fist striking straight toward the collapsing giant palm!
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA, , !!"
Star Platinum suddenly appeared, its figure flashing like thunder. Its arms raged wildly, fists pouring down like a torrential storm, slamming straight against the giant's palm.
BOOM!!!
The violent impact blasted up a sky of dust, the ground exploding into a massive crater, shards of stone flying out like shrapnel.
Sanjuan Wolf narrowed his eyes at the cloud of smoke.
"Crushed him flat, right…" His words stopped short as his face changed drastically.
"ORAAA!"
In the next instant, purple fist-shadows tore through the smoke, piercing through, directly blasting a hole straight through his enormous palm. Blood gushed like a fountain, spraying outward.
"AHHHHH!!!" Sanjuan screamed miserably, his whole arm trembling violently, his face twisted.
"Yare yare…" Jotaro frowned deeply, impatience written on his face. "Shut up."
BOOM!
Star Platinum's fist smashed square into the giant's knee joint, the crack of bone sharp and piercing. Sanjuan's knees buckled, the enormous body crashing down on both knees.
Jotaro leapt high, his coat fluttering in the air.
Star Platinum followed his body, slamming a fierce punch into Sanjuan's temple!
"Ugh…" Sanjuan's eyes dulled, his body convulsed, his consciousness instantly thrown into chaos, drool spilling out of his mouth.
Jotaro landed, without the slightest pause.
He turned, cold eyes sweeping across the Blackbeard Pirates rushing to surround him.
"THE WORLD!"
"Time, stop flowing!"
In an instant, dust froze in place, bullets halted midair, enemies' expressions stiffened, time completely stopped.
Jotaro's gaze fell upon Van Augur.
"What an annoying guy."
At his side, Star Platinum bent its fingers and flicked lightly.
The bullet from the sniper rifle shifted its trajectory, ricocheting back toward Van Augur.
Jotaro strode across the frozen battlefield, moving leisurely as though taking a walk.
"ORA!"
Passing by Shiryu, Star Platinum's fist pierced through his chest, its punch bursting forth in a glow of blood. Crimson drops froze in the air, forming a deadly yet beautiful flower.
With each step he took, another member of the Blackbeard Pirates suffered a brutal strike.
Time began to flow again.
BANG!
Doc Q's sick horse suddenly exploded with a fist mark, all four hooves flailing as horse and rider were smashed away, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
"The bullet… it came back!!"
Van Augur's pupils shrank. He had just regained awareness, only to see the bullet rapidly enlarging in his sight.
The scythe of the Reaper was already hanging above his neck.
"Teleport! Quick, tele..."
"Too late!!!"
Before his body could fully teleport away, the bullet pierced through his brain first, blood bursting from the back of his skull.
Shiryu's body convulsed, a mouthful of blood gushing out, his face instantly pale, eyes filled with disbelieving terror.
Clang!
The sword in his hand clattered to the ground, and then his body spasmed and collapsed.
As Jotaro walked by, the Blackbeard Pirates fell one by one.
"Amazing! Amazing!! Amazing!!!"
At that moment, Doflamingo had also arrived at the front battlefield. Seeing the scene before his eyes, every muscle in his body trembled with excitement.
When Blackbeard joined the Shichibukai, Doflamingo's evaluation of him was simply, a formidable man.
He had both ambition and ability, no small character at all.
The crew he gathered were also extraordinary talents among men.
Yet before Jotaro, these people didn't even have the chance to resist, and in an instant his entire crew was annihilated.
Doflamingo stood at the edge of the ruins, his figure twisted in the firelight and smoke. His lips slowly curled upward, the mad grin on his face stretching wider and wider.
"Fuffuffuffuffuffu hahaha…"
He laughed toward the sky, his voice carrying hysterical frenzy and worship.
"That's it!!"
"Walking calmly through blood and fire, trampling the corpses of the defeated without a glance back…"
"This is my king!!!"
Jotaro strode across the shattered ice, his coat whipping in the wind with a fierce rustle.
Star Platinum loomed behind him, its aura icy enough to suffocate.
Teach's eyes bulged wide, watching his subordinates fall one by one, his heart struck as if by thunder, his face full of horror and disbelief.
"H-how… how could this be…"
Doc Q was blasted thousands of meters away, vomiting blood, unable to get up.
Van Augur's head was blown open, lying deflated like a burst balloon.
Shiryu's chest was destroyed, unable even to hold onto his thunder blade.
Lafitte drove his cane into Catarina Devon's eye, while her thin sword pierced his chest.
In just one man's hands, the entire pirate crew was beaten into wreckage.
