Layers of dark water surged forward, and endless darkness drowned everything. The entire hall was shrouded in darkness. The surface of the white wax walls began to crack and crumble into granules that were sucked into the black hole. The castle began to collapse inwards.
Yarlin stood in the center of the apostles. His expression was calm as he stared at the black water that was swallowing him up. He bared his teeth and said, "You are the most ambitious pirate I have ever seen. There is no need for you to put up a pointless struggle. Only by becoming one of my subordinates can you have a brighter future!"
Teach's eyelids twitched. Poison Q was looking at him with a pair of dark and empty eyes. He bared his rotten teeth and said, "Everything is guided by fate!"
The muscles on his face twitched nervously. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, you seem to have me in your grasp. I, Marshall D. Teach, am not that easy to eat!"
"It's not certain who will eat who!" He added darkly in his heart. Then he glared at Muir, Couliere, and Lafayette. "Are you guys planning to become puppets that can be manipulated?"
"Hmph!"
Muir forcefully endured the bone-corroding pain. The strange shadow around the wound on his shoulder was corroding his flesh. Large patches of flesh emitted a fishy smell. He gritted his teeth and charged towards an apostle.
"Teach, we will settle our accounts later!" Coulier cursed and opened fire with all his might. For a moment, orange-red cannonballs expanded and exploded, and a terrifying stream of fiery shrapnel rained down from the sky.
"Yes, Captain!"
A cruel and terrifying smile appeared on Lafayette's face. A pair of white wings spread out from his back, but his eyes were dark. He licked his lips and stabbed his cane at Poison Q who had "come back from the dead". He said eerily, "I don't know if I should still call you Poison Q. Originally, we got along quite well. So, do you mind if I dissect you now?"
"Fate does not have such an option!"
Poison Q grinned. There was nothing in his empty and dark eye sockets. He just looked at Lafayette with a pair of empty holes. He took out an apple from his chest and took a bite out of it. "I've never seen fate so clearly before, because …"
Laffitte's tongue curled around the core of the apple and spat it out. Laffitte's cane flicked away the core. The explosion set off a shockwave, and the scarlet flames illuminated the two people's cheeks to be incomparably white.
"Fate is also watching me!"
Poison Q let out an unbridled laugh. His body was hunched and his neck shrunk as he suddenly jumped forward. His entire body suddenly expanded, and his two ferocious ape-like arms scratched at Lafayette like claws.
A foul stench assaulted Lafayette's face, and the black nails were coated with poison. Even from half a foot away, Lafayette's skin was covered in goosebumps.
With a few bangs, the sound of metal colliding rang out. The terrifying force penetrated the cane and hit Lafayette's wrist until it was numb. Meanwhile, Poison Q grinned and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm towards Lafayette's face. "Do you feel it? This body has been endowed with fresh vitality. This is fate's favor!"
A gash was torn open on his cheek by the thick phlegm, and his skin and muscles were burning and stinging. Lafayette's expression was sinister, and he was shocked. "Poison Q has become stronger, and not just by a little bit!"
Muir, who was fighting against Vista, and Culiere, who was fighting against Ace, both came to the same conclusion at the same time. An even stronger, more vicious, and more dangerous "companion" was currently fighting against them.
Their hearts continued to fall, and the feeling of despair and horror could not be suppressed. Especially when they glanced at the apostles surrounding Yarlin from the corner of their eyes. Despair was like an endless shadow that wanted to devour their souls.
Enveloped in darkness, the eerie candlelight extinguished.
"I'll do it!"
An excited voice came from under the black robe. Gana's grinning face revealed a morbid excitement. He raised his hand and a curved mirror blocked in front of him. A vertical crack suddenly appeared in the center of the mirror.
The dark water smashed onto the surface of the mirror, creating ripples. Then, it whistled and "rushed" into the crack, like a turbulent wave crashing into a canyon in the deep sea.
Crack!
Under the violent erosion, cracks appeared on the surface of the mirror, and countless fine cracks made cracking sounds.
"Interesting. His eyes are mine!"
Gana stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. His right arm reached out from the black robe, and the eyes sewn on his fleshy arm flickered with a sinister light. They were all turning and looking at Teach in the darkness.
The eyeballs turned crazily, and a barely discernible scream sounded in the darkness. Gana gently touched his arm, and the eyeballs he touched immediately closed their eyelids.
Only one eyeball was not touched. In the next moment, Gana inserted his entire arm into the back of the mirror. The open eyeball strangely melted, and a blurry and distorted reflection appeared on the surface of the mirror.
"I'm very fair. If you want to be free, you have to trade with another person. I like his eyes. Trap him in the mirror, and I'll let you go!"
The three eyes on Gana's face glowed with a demonic red light. His voice penetrated the mirror and landed on the solid human figure.
Golden lion mane hair, two legs that were inserted into iron swords, and the face of Shiki the Golden Lion appeared. Only his eyes were empty. Shiki's expression was dull, like a shadow without a soul. When he heard Gana's voice, his entire body trembled in fear.
"Mirror Prison, Gladiator Arena!"
The curved surface of the mirror suddenly expanded, forming a circle that covered the darkness. Even the rolling dark water was trapped inside. Teach's pupils contracted. He felt a strange force that seemed to be trying to drag his soul into the mirror.
However, in the end, it was swallowed by the force of the black hole. There was no joy on Teach's face. Instead, he looked terrible. The apostles under Yarlin's command were too strange.
"Arlen should be the weakest one, but if I want to get close to him, I'll have to break through the blockade of the apostles …" Teach's mind spun quickly, the greed in his heart growing stronger and stronger, "As long as I devour Arlen's ability, these terrifying apostles will all become my crew. They'll become my capital to rule the seas …"
On the cracked mirror, a shadow walked out of the crack. The shadow slowly condensed. Shiki the Golden Lion looked at Teach, who was stunned. He suddenly opened his arms, and a terrifying gust of wind blew. The dark water around him strangely turned into a black lion's head the moment it touched his body. It quietly crawled under his feet …
