An island on the Grand Line. "Isn't it like this?" Looking at a wanted poster in his hand, the black-bearded man with incomplete teeth touched his chin: "I see, the reward for this straw hat girl is 100 million, I thought It¡¯s 30 million, but you can¡¯t tell that that little girl actually has a lot of fun in her movie, huh?¡±
"Hey Captain" a pale guy wearing a gentleman's hat came over from the side: "What should we do next? Although the Navy Headquarters has promised to observe your movements temporarily, but if"
"Ah, I know." He interrupted his subordinates with a wave of his hand, and Blackbeard laughed: "Hahahahaha, I just thought of a solution. As long as I kill the pirate who has a bounty of over 100 million, that's it. Just in time, this straw hat girl The bounty is 100 million. Is she said to be in the Water Capital now? Okay! It¡¯s her!¡±
"Hey, you guys!" Looking at the other subordinates next to him, Blackbeard turned back impatiently: "Hurry up and pack the necessary supplies. Let's set off to the Water City now. Hahahaha, this is really too easy. Now! After killing the Straw Hat girl, we will have equal say with the Navy Headquarters. As long as I get the crown of One Piece, I will be closer to the real One Piece! Hahahahaha!"
Watching a group of people on the ground walking slowly over, a young man wearing a cowboy hat squatting on the roof nearby pushed up the brim of his hat without leaving a trace: "It's been a long time no see Tiqi."
"Huh?!" Looking in the direction of the young man, Blackbeard's eyes suddenly widened: "Oh Ace! Captain! Why are you here too?"
"Shut up. This is a title reserved for people who know how to respect others." Sitting on the roof and looking at the people next to Blackbeard, Ace frowned: "As expected, you have become a captain in your own right, Teach. "
"Thief hahahahaha" Not at all annoyed by Ace's tone, Blackbeard laughed: "Yes, I am also a captain now, how about it? Ace, do you want to join us?"
"Teach, don't make such silly jokes." Ace frowned and raised his head: "Although I have already guessed it, I still want to ask you, was it really you who did that thing?"
"Hahaha, don't refuse so quickly, Ace" spread his hands, Blackbeard's face was still full of excitement: "Let's think about it, I've thought of something that can make me famous all over the world, and I'll tell you a piece of news. Ace you know? I have already met the man in charge of 'Recognition', but do you know what I learned from him? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha the crown of the Pirate King!! This is even more powerful than acknowledgment Something! As long as we have a chance to get close to the Navy Headquarters, I will have a way to get it! Then I will find other recognized guardians to win their recognition one by one! By then, I will be the real Pirate King in the world, surpassing Roger. !¡±
"So what?" Teach's eyes turned cold, and Ace looked at Blackbeard: "Answer me, did you do that thing?"
"Oh, are you referring to the matter of Captain Sachi of the Fourth Division?" Blackbeard closed his eyes: "Ah, yes, but there is nothing we can do about it. He got the Devil Fruit that I like, and who are the rules on the ship? Whoever finds it will be happy to eat it. Having already memorized all the shapes in the devil fruit illustrated book, I immediately recognized that it was the fruit of my dreams. The reason why I stayed with the Whitebeard Pirates was because I felt that it was there. The chance of finding this fruit is higher. Originally, I thought that if I was unlucky and couldn't find it, I would forget it, but it happened to appear in my friend's hand."
"So" Ace tilted his head slightly, looking at Blackbeard coldly: "You just killed Thatch and took away the fruit?"
"Hmph, hey, there's nothing we can do about it." He lowered his head sinisterly, and the corners of Blackbeard's mouth twisted upwards: "This comes from the power used by the great God of Darkness in history! Compared with the other gods, I need terrifying abilities! The reason why I have endured so far is because of this fruit. With this fruit, I will have the right to talk to the devil on an equal footing, and I will be able to become the strongest among 'people'! This way There's no reason to throw away the opportunity, right? So, what do you think? Ace"
"Crack" gently clenched his fists, Ace stood up and looked down at Blackbeard: "I'm not interested in your ambitions. I just think that there is no reason for you to not be able to see clearly after living several times longer than others. That¡¯s the current situation.¡±
"Hahahahahaha, let me say something." Looking at Ace, Blackbeard was still not angry: "I have already thought out all the steps. First, I'm going to hoodwink the straw hat girl in the nearby water city. d. How about killing Luffy as a gift to the World Government, and then you can approach the Navy Headquarters and get the Pirate King's crown?"
"Luffy?" Ace frowned, and his eyes became cautious: "What do you want to do to Luffy?"
?"Um? Is it possible that you two know each other?" The surprised Blackbeard looked at Ace: "No way."
"It seems that I can never let you go, Teach" Ace slowly pushed the brim of his hat and stood up straight: "I'm sorry, she is my sister and I can never be you. of"
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot sounded, and a ball of flames burst out from Ace's body. He frowned and smiled evilly. Ace looked at the people below: "It looks like there is an ungrateful guy. Musket!!!¡±
"Bang, bang, bang." The flames on his hands were like flying bullets. Ace easily beat the guy who fired the gun to the point where he was running away. "Well" looking at the subordinates who took action without permission, Blackbeard didn't care about anything else: "You guys are here. What to do? You are not his opponent now!"
"Fire Fist!!" A huge ball of flame interrupted Blackbeard's words, shrouding Blackbeard in the blazing flames before he could turn around, "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Blackbeard was screaming as he watched the flames engulf him. Ace rushed to another street, jumped off the roof and walked slowly through the burning street. Ace looked at Blackbeard who fell on the ground: "There is nothing left to say now, Teach"
"Huhhuhuhu ah, I know hehehehehehehehehe Ace, are you trying to kill me?" Lying on the ground and turning over, Blackbeard raised his head: "Hehehehehehehehe, I know you are very strong, just like you were then. Like the God of Fire, this kind of burning ability. But Ace, do you know? Devil Fruit also chooses its owner, but this fruit chose me!! Ace!!" Standing up suddenly, Blackbeard His expression revealed madness: "Why were those with the ability of these fruits called gods in ancient times? I think you also got a glimpse of it from the use of your abilities. We can work together to create a new era! Just like the four hundred It¡¯s the same as the Age of Gods years ago! After taking over the entire world, we can become the masters of the world! Isn¡¯t this good? Ace!!¡±
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in these." Looking at Blackbeard who stood up expressionlessly, Ace looked at the sky coldly: "I only know that a guy who owes benevolence and righteousness will never survive in this world, Teach." !!¡±
"Hahahahahaha, it seems like nothing else is going to work! In that case! Ace!" Darkness as real as substance overflowed from his hands, and Blackbeard laughed almost crazily: "Come and try this power of darkness for yourself. !!¡±
"Interesting" pushed the brim of his hat, and the corners of Ace's mouth turned up: "I would like to see what kind of power this fruit has."
"Hahahahaha Ace! Your body is fire! Then I am darkness! Take a good look!! This town will be miserable in darkness!!" As he spoke, Blackbeard suddenly released the darkness around him, and then With a shattering creaking sound, the entire town was completely engulfed by darkness bit by bit, until it completely disappeared into Blackbeard's body, "Hey!!" As Blackbeard's body suddenly stopped, the town had completely turned into pieces. He was released from the darkness and scattered around the two of them: "Hahaha, did you see it? Ace? Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh."
Blackbeard's whole body suddenly ignited with fierce flames, and he screamed and fell to the ground again, "Huh? It's a bit strange." Looking at Blackbeard screaming on the ground, Ace snorted: "It's also a natural element. , why can¡¯t you even dodge that attack?¡±
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr" As the darkness operated, the flames on Blackbeard's body were swallowed up by the darkness. Blackbeard collapsed on the ground: "Huhu yes, I should have said that." He sat up and looked at Ace across from him. Beard slowly stood up straight: "Yes, darkness can absorb everything, whether it is fire, lightning or light bullets, but as a user with this ability, I cannot dodge these attacks. On the contrary, I will receive several times more damage." It¡¯s painful, but as compensation for this, the one thing my ability can still absorb is"
"Dark Water!!" He suddenly stretched out his hand towards Ace, and Blackbeard looked at Ace who was suddenly sucked towards him: "That is the body of the Devil Fruit user!!"
"Click!!" Ace's pupils suddenly dilated when he was held by the shoulder: "Noit can't be"
"Oh? What's wrong? Ace?" "Bang!!!" With a muffled sound, Blackbeard's extremely heavy punch instantly knocked Ace away, and "Wow!" Blood burst out from the corner of Ace's mouth. Sitting up with difficulty: "Is this possible?"
"Hahahahaha, that's right!!" Looking at Ace who was sitting on the ground in front of him, Blackbeard spread his hands: "Another thing that can be absorbed is the ability of Devil Fruit users! You should feel it too, right? Ace, it was true the moment I caught you, as long as any fruit ability user is touched by my body, they will no longer be able to use their abilities! This is the power of the God of Darkness! Not inferior to the power of the devil!!"
"Huhu, so what?" Ace wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up: "As long as I don't get touched by youIsn¡¯t that enough? "
"Hahahahaha Ace" looked at Ace in front of him sinisterly, Blackbeard opened his hand: "Do you think people can escape from hope? Huh? Yes, no matter what kind of thoughts they are, they can't escape the category of hope. Is it Wang who wants to win when fighting the enemy, or is it Wang who wants to protect others, etc. So I know very well how terrifying the only demon in the world who is in charge of the blood of Wang is, but that¡¯s exactly what it is! I The darkness can make me clearly understand how to use his power to achieve my wishes! Just like you can't escape my darkness, I also know that I can't escape my desire, so I want to satisfy my desire to the greatest extent. Hope! And now the world has forgotten the terror of demons. I can use this to achieve my plan, Ace! You can be the stepping stone for me to take the first step!!"
It was on this day that the battle that affected the entire world began and ended on this island. Later people called it the battle that started all the great troubles.
