One Piece: Invincible Starting From The Fruit Of Words-Chapter 191 Whitebeard’s Kill Order! The Sea Is Gone!

"Teach must pay the price!"

Boom!

An overwhelming and terrifying surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Whitebeard's body, instantly forming a tsunami-like shockwave that swept in all directions.

Whitebeard was furious—more furious than ever before.

At this moment, the world itself seemed to tremble.

Dark clouds covered the sky as thunder and lightning crackled above.

It was as if even the heavens were frightened by Whitebeard's wrath, answering his fury with roaring thunder and flashing bolts of lightning.

Soon after, the Whitebeard Pirates held a funeral for the fallen Thatch.

At the same time, Whitebeard's kill order spread like wildfire throughout the New World.

In an instant, major powers, pirate crews, and kingdoms alike learned of this shocking news.

Before Lucifer appeared, the Whitebeard Pirates were the strongest force in the world—a crew bound together like family, where betrayal was unheard of.

But for the first time in decades, that unshakable unity had been shattered.

Blackbeard, a man who had lived among them for years, had killed his own crewmate and fled.

Whitebeard's authority had been challenged, and many pirates across the seas couldn't help but admire this Teach, who had dared to commit such a treacherous act within the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Hey, did you hear? Whitebeard issued a kill order!"

"Of course, I heard! That guy Teach is insane!"

"Killing a fellow Whitebeard Pirate? That takes guts!"

"Are you thinking of joining the hunt? If we kill Teach, we can join the Whitebeard Pirates and get Whitebeard's protection!"

"With Whitebeard as our backer, we can do whatever we want in the New World!"

The reward Whitebeard offered was far more tempting than any amount of gold.

Like sharks drawn to the scent of blood, countless pirates in the New World sprang into action.

They all had one goal: kill Teach and bring his head to Whitebeard to claim the ultimate prize.

But while many were blinded by greed, others remained cautious, unmoved by Whitebeard's tempting offer.

They were the ones who could see the bigger picture.

Inside a dimly lit tavern, a group of seasoned pirates surrounded a man sitting alone.

"Locke, aren't you going after Teach?" one of them asked.

Locke, an independent pirate known for his strength, had been recruited by many crews before—but he had always chosen to sail alone.

"I'm not interested," Locke replied flatly, shaking his head.

He took a sip of his drink and leaned back in his chair.

"And if you're smart, you won't get involved either. This is bigger than any of us."

The pirates frowned. "What do you mean?"

Locke sighed.

"Think about it. Teach killed one of Whitebeard's division commanders. That means he's no weakling."

"But more importantly, the timing is terrible."

"The Nether Pirates are at their peak, and there's a real possibility of an all-out war with the Whitebeard Pirates. If you join Whitebeard now, you're walking straight into the battlefield."

"In a war between the two strongest pirate crews, can you guarantee that you'll survive until the end?"

Locke had survived in the New World not just because of his strength—but because of his intelligence.

He knew that joining the Whitebeard Pirates at such a volatile time was not an opportunity. It was a death sentence.

After all, the Nether Pirates had already taken down both the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

To Locke, the Whitebeard Pirates had little chance of victory.

But his words fell on deaf ears.

"Hah! You're just scared!"

"I'm not missing this chance! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"As long as we kill Teach, we'll be part of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

The group of pirates left the tavern, heading out to sea with burning ambition in their eyes.

Locke merely watched them go, shaking his head.

"Fools."

"You can't stop a man determined to throw his life away."

Similar scenes unfolded all across the New World.

An estimated 80% of the pirates in the New World set sail, chasing after Teach like a pack of ravenous wolves.

Even those too weak to fight Teach directly followed him in secret, hoping to sell information on his whereabouts for a hefty price.

Some pirates, in their greed, had stumbled upon an unexpected goldmine.

Because of this, Blackbeard Teach's whereabouts were soon exposed, and he was relentlessly hunted down.

"The New World has been quite lively lately,"

Sitting atop the Azure Dragon, Lucifer held a newspaper in his hands, a sneer playing at the corner of his mouth.

The headline reported Whitebeard's kill order.

"I didn't expect the Dark-Dark Fruit to appear at this time... Is this because I altered history?"

In the original timeline, the Dark-Dark Fruit only surfaced around the year 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar.

At that time, Lucifer hadn't even set sail—he was just about to.

Later, during Ace's pursuit of Blackbeard, he had a brief encounter with Luffy before their paths diverged.

But right now, Ace had just joined the Whitebeard Pirates. He wasn't a division commander yet and, therefore, hadn't been dispatched to hunt down Teach.

"The Dark-Dark Fruit—the power to nullify all Devil Fruits, feared as the most sinister ability...

"I wonder how it would fare against my Word Spirit Fruit?"

Lucifer smirked coldly and tossed the newspaper into the wind. The pages scattered, fluttering through the sky before vanishing into the distance.

At this moment, his Word Spirit Fruit had fully awakened.

In terms of sheer ability, Lucifer didn't consider the Dark-Dark Fruit superior to his own.

And if Haki was factored into the equation, Lucifer was far stronger than Teach.

A mere Blackbeard? He wasn't even worth Lucifer's attention.

"Come on, stir up even more chaos. Let's see how much entertainment you can add to the war of the century."

The Azure Dragon roared through the clouds, whipping up fierce winds and churning the seas as it soared toward the horizon.

The First Half of the New World – Aboard the Red Force

Shanks sat in silence, staring at the newspaper in his hand.

If there was anyone who understood Blackbeard second only to Lucifer, it was him.

He had long recognized Teach's hidden strength and ambition.

"So, Blackbeard finally made his move..."

"Right at this crucial moment... That bastard!"

Of all times, Teach chose to betray Whitebeard now—on the eve of war.

As a result, Whitebeard was forced to divert his attention from Lucifer to deal with Teach, making it even harder to prepare for the upcoming battle.

"Blackbeard..."

Shanks reached up and ran his fingers over the three scars across his eye. A dull ache throbbed beneath his touch.

He had fought countless battles across the world, accumulating wounds and scars along the way.

But this—this was the only wound that still hurt to this day.

Blackbeard had given him this scar.

And it wasn't because Shanks had let his guard down or had been careless in battle.

That moment was when he truly grasped the terrifying power Blackbeard possessed... and the boundless ambition buried deep within him.

He had wanted to warn Whitebeard, but the chance never came.

Blackbeard's betrayal hadn't surprised him—it was expected.

But the timing... The timing was terrible. And that worried Shanks.

"Shanks, what do you plan to do?"

Benn Beckman approached, speaking in a low voice.

"We don't have the luxury of dealing with Teach right now," Shanks admitted, shaking his head. freёnovelkiss.com

"Our priority must be Lucifer."

As much as he hated to let Teach go, Lucifer posed a far greater threat.

"Gather the crew," Shanks ordered.

"Our current strength alone isn't enough to take him down."

Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates were amassing their forces.

At the same time, the Red Hair Pirates were rallying their own.

Even though Whitebeard had made it clear that he wouldn't ally with Shanks against Lucifer, the red-haired captain had no choice but to intervene in the war.

He knew that the upcoming all-out battle was the best—and perhaps the only—chance to eliminate Lucifer.

On the surface, this was a war between the Nether Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.

But Shanks understood that the Marines would inevitably get involved.

And so would he.

When the battle broke out, Whitebeard's forces, the Marine Headquarters, and the Red Hair Pirates would all be fighting against Lucifer.

They weren't allies. They weren't working together.

But their goal was the same.

This was the best chance to root out Lucifer once and for all.

One shot.

A fleeting opportunity.

And it wouldn't come again.
