One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Karp is waiting.

They waited for Ace to speak first, hoping he would admit his mistake.

Even if Ace were to turn back now and decide to give up his adventure to become the Pirate King, and return to the life path that Garp had planned for him, becoming a glorious and great Marine, Garp would be willing to pay any price to protect him.

Even though Ace wasn't his biological grandson!

However, teenagers in their rebellious adolescence have no idea about their parents' worries and difficulties.

Ace kept his head down, the Buddhist prayer beads given to him by the bandit Dadan hanging around his neck. Under the influence of Garp's Conqueror's Haki, they swayed violently, making a clattering sound as the beads collided.

This wasn't the first time Ace had experienced the Conqueror's Haki of a top-tier expert, but Garp's Conqueror's Haki gave him a unique feeling.

If Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki is characterized by boundless ambition, and Yang Ming's Conqueror's Haki is characterized by soaring ambition, then Garp's Conqueror's Haki is characterized by a carefree and unrestrained spirit, carrying a sense of having seen through the world.

Faced with Garp's silent standoff, Ace clenched his teeth so tightly that he almost broke his back teeth.

Seeing that Ace remained silent for a long time, a hint of disappointment and loss flashed deep in Garp's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"Ace, you have disappointed me."

"Why won't you listen to me and come work at the Navy Headquarters as a Navy officer?"

Ace didn't dare to look up at Garp. He was too ashamed to face Garp, nor did he have the courage to confront him directly. He could only grit his teeth and say:

"You old codger, my dream is to become the Pirate King, not some Marine!"

Upon hearing this, Garp clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands. Terrifying Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki swirled around them, emanating a breathtaking aura. Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru, who were eavesdropping outside the office, were secretly alarmed, fearing that Garp might go too far and smash up their office.

But the next moment, Garp deflated like a punctured balloon, loosening his clenched fist.

"That's all!"

"Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; this old man can't control that anymore!"

At this moment, Garp's back was noticeably hunched over, making him look like an elderly person from a normal family, rather than the naval hero who struck fear into the hearts of countless pirates.

Ace quietly raised his head and watched Garp's departing figure, which was slightly desolate and forlorn, his eyes slightly moist.

"Feel sorry."

"Old man, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Ace thought to himself.

As soon as Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach left Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office, he wished his parents had given him two more legs. He fled for his life towards the port, fearing that Fleet Admiral Sengoku might change his mind and arrest him, the poor, weak, and helpless man.

Fortunately, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach did not encounter any interception or pursuit by the Navy until he arrived at the port of Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, which finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Even so, in this place full of powerful people, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach dared not linger for a moment. He quickly boarded his lone boat, rowed away, and fled thousands of miles away.

On the lone boat, there was one man and one horse.

The man was an old man who always looked like he was terminally ill and on his deathbed. He was dressed in shabby clothes and had a sick horse that looked like a useless piece of trash beside him.

This bizarre combination is none other than the ship's doctor, Doc Q, whom Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach had invited to join his pirate ship. Doc Q is a Paramecia-type Disease-Disease Fruit user, and outsiders have given him the nickname "Grim Reaper," meaning that wherever he goes, people will die and he will bring misfortune to the innocent.

Poisonous Q lay limply on the sick horse, too lazy to even move a finger, just watching Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach struggle to row, showing no intention of helping. He said:

"Captain, where do you plan to go after you make this money?"

"I need to go find someone first."

"Who are you looking for?"

"The Dark Night Pirates and Li Qing, the Dark Night Overlord."

"puff!"

Poison Q nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He must have heard correctly. His cheap captain was actually looking for the new emperor of the sea.

Is it too late for me to get off this pirate ship?

Seeing Doc Q looking like he was questioning the meaning of life, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach gave a sly smile.

Hey kid, who told you not to help row the boat? I'll scare you to death!

Neither of them were kind people, nor were they good conversationalists. After the topic ended, a long silence followed, with neither of them continuing the conversation.

After this lone ship had drifted aimlessly on the sea for a day and a night, far from the Navy Headquarters, just as Poison Q was yawning boredly and preparing to take a nap, he suddenly saw a large patch of fog appear on the horizon ahead.

First, a thin, gauze-like white mist gently rippled across the sea, then a thick, grayish-white fog gradually enveloped the sky and earth, as if concealing something mysterious.

Just as Poison Q mistook it for ordinary sea fog, he suddenly noticed that the usually arrogant and unruly captain was now unusually serious. With his excellent hearing, he could hear Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's strong heartbeat, which was faster than usual, and even his blood was flowing faster, with every muscle in his body tense.

"he came."

"Who?"

As soon as Poisonous Q opened his mouth, a huge shadow appeared in the depths of the gray-white fog. The terrifying three-masted sailing ship pushed through the waves from the depths of the fog, and gradually the exaggerated shape of the ship and the Dark Night Pirates' insignia engraved on the white sails became visible.

"Gulu!"

Poison Q swallowed hard, his throat bobbing up and down.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Since their inception, the Dark Night Pirates have been known for their elusive nature; no one knows how or where they will appear.

To date, very little is known about the Dark Night Pirates.

It could be said that, just like this fog, the entire Dark Night Pirates are shrouded in a layer of fog, making them seem elusive and mysterious.

What terrified Poison Q even more was that although he had clearly seen several figures on the terrifying three-masted sailing ship, his superhuman hearing could not hear their heartbeats or the sound of their blood flowing. In addition, his years of experience as a quack doctor allowed him to quickly discern a horrifying fact from those people through observation, listening, questioning, and palpation.

These people are not alive!

A pirate crew made up of dead people?

Even DocQ was terrified by the secret he had discovered.

Could it be that these people are all dead who have returned from the underworld?

But no one could answer his questions or dispel his confusion.

Even though Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach had come into contact with the Dark Night Pirates by chance, his understanding of this mysterious pirate crew was not much better than that of Doc Q.

Captain John stood at the bow, holding a dark purple fruit in his hand—the very Dark Fruit that Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach had longed for for many years.

With a sudden flick of his wrist, Captain John tossed the Dark-Dark Fruit accurately into the hand of Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach. His mouth opened and closed, emitting a hoarse sound.

"You did a great job on the mission. Here's your reward."

Upon seeing this, Poison Q's expression froze.

As a quack doctor with decades of experience, Du Q has dissected countless patients and is very familiar with the structure of the human body.

Generally speaking, when a dead person is buried underground for a long time, the flesh and blood in the body gradually die, and the meridians also lose their function, which will lead to stiffness in the body, making it impossible to make movements as flexible as a living person.

But the way Captain John tossed the Dark Fruit over from a distance was no different from that of a living person; there was no sign of stiffness at all.

how did you do that?

PoisonQ is completely baffled.

Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach didn't have as many thoughts as Doc Q. After receiving the Dark-Dark Fruit, fearing that something might go wrong, he immediately wolfed it down.

"Ugh~"

"It tastes so bad!"

That being said, after eating the Dark-Dark Fruit, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach felt like he was back to normal.

"Jie hahaha!"

"I've got my eye on your Dark Night Pirates' ship. If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently!"

Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach was surrounded by an oppressive aura of darkness, but unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Captain John raised his knife and a shocking blade of light slashed down.

"I have a few minor flaws."

"I just enjoy seeing people's fearful expressions, yes, that's the expression on your face."

Chapter 316 King Fist

Captain John wore a ring-shaped Imperial Arms, bestowed upon him by Yang Ming, named Water Dragon Possession. It allowed him to control water flow, including his own blood, as a new type of weapon.

Heeding Captain John's call, the seawater gathered in his withered palm, stretching and deforming into the shape of a samurai sword. Then, facing the astonished gazes of Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach and Doc Q, a stunning blade of light lashed out.

"Tear!"

Ahead of their lone boat, a blade of light cleaved the sea, unleashing a raging storm and towering waves.

Amidst the crashing waves, the two men and one horse clung desperately to the edge of the lone boat, fearing they would be swept away and drown. That would mean certain death.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Dragon Ball. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel slowly appeared, with three types of prizes: items, bloodlines, and martial arts skills.

Props: Spaceship, Dragon Balls...

Bloodline: Saiyan bloodline, Majin Buu bloodline...

Martial arts: Kamehameha, Kaioken...

【Kaioken】: A technique that can increase one's fighting power several times or even dozens of times in a short period of time. It requires rigorous training in a gravity environment in order to withstand the physical load brought by the Kaioken.

Yang Ming's eyes flickered slightly. Through Captain John's perspective, he watched as the newly formed Blackbeard Pirates teetered on the brink of collapse. He didn't want to kill Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach at this time. To him, this guy still had some value, and now was not the time to kill him.

Under his command, the terrifying three-masted sailing ship retreated into the depths of the fog and soon disappeared from sight, just as quietly as it had come and left without taking away a single wisp of sunset.

When the lone boat finally calmed down amidst the turbulent waves, both Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach and Doc Q leaned over the edge of the boat and began to dry heave. The violent rocking had made their stomachs churn, and they were now almost vomiting up their dinner from the night before.

Finally calming his stomach discomfort, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said:

"That was close! We were almost done for!"

The arrogance that had just been fueled by acquiring the Dark-Dark Fruit was instantly dampened by Captain John's words, making Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach realize a harsh reality: even with the Dark-Dark Fruit's top-tier Devil Fruit power, he was still far behind the Dark Night Pirates in the short term.

Captain John is merely a member of the Dark Night Pirates, yet he possesses such terrifying strength. It's hard to imagine what level of strength Li Qing, the Dark Night Overlord standing behind him, has reached.

"It seems I need to find a way to obtain Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power."
