One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

He originally thought that Shanks might have secretly fought with Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard, which is why he had a scar. He never expected that it would be such an unknown passerby.

"No wonder...no wonder Shanks always avoids talking about this topic..."

Marshall D. Teach, with his thick skin, was completely oblivious to the stares of others. Even if someone insulted him to his face, he could laugh it off as long as it didn't harm his interests.

But if anyone harms his interests, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach will definitely turn his back on them!

This naturally includes Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, right before our eyes!

Despite obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit, a top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruit, from the other party, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach has never been grateful and has even considered taking his place.

Currently, the Sea of ​​Shadows has covered the entire Gaya Island. If these shadowy hands are allowed to act and pull them into the Sea of ​​Shadows, they will have no way to escape.

After weighing the pros and cons, even though Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach was very unhappy, he had no choice but to stand on the same side as Shanks and his crew.

"Jie ha ha ha..."

"Let me see whether my Dark-Dark Fruit is more powerful, or whether the legendary Shadow Power of Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, is superior!"

Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach raised his hands, a layer of black flames swirling around his arms, spreading across his body like a malignant tumor, making him look like a messenger walking in the darkness, exuding an oppressive aura.

Immediately, he slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Dark cave!"

In the next instant, centered on Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's hands, a darkness even more obscure and intense than the Sea of ​​Shadows was released. Under his careful control, it deliberately avoided the location of Red-Haired Shanks and his group, instead spreading out in a fan shape towards Yang Ming's location.

The dark sea emanated a terrifying attraction, and its surface was covered with whirlpools of all sizes, like bottomless pits capable of swallowing everything in their path. Even the terrifying shadow hands could not escape its grasp, as everything in their path was engulfed and crushed with extremely horrific means.

The Dark-Dark Fruit is known as the most dangerous ability in the history of Devil Fruits. It possesses the gravitational pull of darkness and is also the most unique among Logia-type Devil Fruit users. Unlike ordinary Logia-type Devil Fruit users who can transform into elements to become immune to damage, it absorbs all damage and can also suck in, compress, and crush anything that comes into contact with darkness. It also has the ability to attract users from a distance. Once touched by its hands, any Devil Fruit user, regardless of their type, will lose their ability.

In addition, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach went to great lengths to work for Yang Ming and humbly ask for the Dark-Dark Fruit because his body was extremely special and he could use the Dark-Dark Fruit to steal other people's Devil Fruits for his own use!

With such an enhancement, the Dark Fruit naturally becomes much more appealing.

It's a long story.

In reality, from Shanks revealing Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's hiding place to Shanks helping him, it all happened within a minute or two.

As the Sea of ​​Dark Caves surged in, Yang Ming sneered:

"Who gave you the illusion that your Dark Fruit is superior to mine?"

Over the years, Yang Ming has killed countless Devil Fruit users. Their corpses were thrown into the shadows and assimilated, their Devil Fruit abilities were absorbed, but due to space constraints, this was not mentioned in the book.

Even now, Yang Ming doesn't know just how strong his shadow is!

As Yang Ming finished speaking, the Sea of ​​Shadows suddenly boiled, breaking through the attraction of the Dark Cave Sea. One after another, shadowy hands reached out to the outside world, and then more shadows condensed into physical forms, silently staring at everyone with faceless faces. They either transformed into wild beasts or materialized into swords and blades, rushing towards everyone.

Chapter 353 Difficult Choices

Even now, Yang Ming doesn't know just how strong his shadow is!

As Yang Ming finished speaking, the Sea of ​​Shadows suddenly boiled, breaking through the attraction of the Dark Cave Sea. One after another, shadowy hands reached out to the outside world, and then more shadows condensed into physical forms, silently staring at everyone with faceless faces. They either transformed into wild beasts or materialized into swords and blades, rushing towards everyone.

Over the years, Yang Ming's shadows have absorbed the corpses of countless Devil Fruit users, and these shadow soldiers naturally possess the corresponding fruit characteristics, such as the sticky fruit's stickiness and the string-string fruit's string characteristics.

If Yang Ming hadn't possessed even greater abilities, he might have already explored and fully unleashed the potential of the Shadow.

Unfortunately, human strength has its limits, and Yang Ming was sometimes unable to be in two places at once, so he could only use these abilities in such a crude way.

Faced with the surging shadow soldiers, Shanks raised an eyebrow and took the spare longsword thrown to him by his first mate, Ben Beckman. This longsword was just an ordinary one, far inferior to the famous sword Griffin, but since Griffin was still stuck with Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, Shanks had no choice but to make do with it.

Upon receiving the spare longsword, Shanks strode forward a few steps, flicked his wrist, and unleashed a flurry of swordplay. With a flash of cold light, any shadowy soldier who dared to approach was instantly cleaved in two.

However, these shadow soldiers, whose bodies had been cut apart, quickly returned to their original forms after falling back into the sea of ​​shadows.

Faced with shadow soldiers possessing various abilities, although they are not as powerful as Devil Fruit users, their relentless vitality is truly a headache, especially now that Shanks and Dracule Mihawk have both lost their weapons, making the situation even more unbearable.

However, what is most puzzling is why Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, summoned this group of shadow soldiers.

They soon found out.

Above the canopy of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, giant flower buds continuously released hypnotic pollen. This pollen was hidden in the deep night, and ordinary people could not detect it at all. Even powerful figures like Shanks were too busy to pay attention to it.

In the heat of battle, everyone's breathing quickened, causing them to inhale even more pollen floating in the air.

For these top experts, a little pollen might not have any effect, but when the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, it will startle them.

That is the case right now.

Red-haired Shanks quickly sensed something was wrong with his body; his limbs seemed to be gradually weakening, and his expression immediately changed.

"not good!"

"The air is poisonous!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned pale.

They quickly realized something was wrong and immediately understood that Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, was not acting with martial ethics and was using such despicable means!

Of course, they were not as isolated and helpless as Green Bull Wild Pasture had been, and did not quickly faint.

The advantage of a pirate crew is that everyone has a specific role, allowing them to unite their strength and overcome difficulties together in critical moments.

A middle-aged man with long hair tied up on top of his head and a scar on his left forehead quickly took out more than a dozen pills from his waist pouch and threw them out with pinpoint accuracy, landing them precisely in the hands of everyone present. He said:

"This is a universal antidote; it can neutralize both poison and drugs."

This ship's doctor, named Dege, is a renowned physician in the Red-Haired Pirates.

Everyone naturally believed him and quickly tilted their heads back to take the universal antidote.

However, after swallowing the universal antidote, Shanks could clearly feel that although the drowsy feeling was suppressed, it was not completely eliminated. It seemed that this was a type of pollen that Dego had never encountered before, which was why the medicine was not effective enough to completely eliminate it.

Shanks's expression darkened, and he thought to himself:

"This Lord of the Night, Li Qing, is truly insidious. Despite possessing immense strength, he doesn't care about using despicable methods. He's willing to do anything to achieve his goals, just like Kaido of the Beasts back then."

With this thought in mind, Shanks realized that he might not have a chance to reclaim the famous sword Griffin. Otherwise, if they were to fight here for too long and the panacea lost its potency, they would probably be in grave danger.

"Let's withdraw!"

Shanks, the red-haired man, took a deep look at the dark figure standing under the magic tree, as if trying to memorize his appearance and voice. Then he led the group back and broke through towards the island where the ships were anchored.

Yang Ming made no attempt to stop Shanks and his crew from breaking through the encirclement.

Facing the combined might of Shanks and Dracule Mihawk alone, Yang Ming had to use all his skills. If the fight continued, once the others broke free from the Ten-Tails' entanglement and joined forces to attack, unless Yang Ming was willing to reveal his true identity and unleash all his hidden techniques, he would have no chance of stopping them.

That being said, Yang Ming would not stand idly by and watch them leave so easily. Black Knife Night and the famous sword Griffin were his greatest spoils of war.

"Drink!"

Shanks drew his spare longsword, leaped into the air, and transformed into a red humanoid ball of light. With lightning speed, he carved a bloody path through the countless attacks of Mushu.

The rock-solid Mushu couldn't get close to the red-haired group, as if there was a clear chasm between them, and getting close meant death.

Even with such difficulties, a continuous stream of woody tendrils still surged in from all directions. Looking around, all that could be seen were terrifying woody tendrils, as if they were about to devour the entire world.

During the vigorous movement, blood flowed rapidly through his body, causing him to absorb more pollen. Shanks could feel that the panacea he had taken was gradually losing its potency, and his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, making him want to close his eyes.

If it weren't for the ship's doctor, Dege, giving everyone another panacea during this time, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape alive.

However, each time the universal antidote pill is taken, the body develops resistance, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the antidote. If it is taken multiple times in a short period of time, it will completely lose its antidote effect.

Fortunately, they managed to escape the nightmarish island and board the ship again before the panacea completely lost its potency.

Chapter 354 Defeat

However, each time the universal antidote pill is taken, the body develops resistance, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the antidote. If it is taken multiple times in a short period of time, it will completely lose its detoxifying effect.

Fortunately, they managed to escape the nightmarish island and board the ship again before the panacea completely lost its potency.

Even Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, who has always been at odds with Shanks, boarded this legendary pirate ship with Shanks' tacit approval. However, he looked extremely disheveled, with bruises and open wounds all over his body, blood and sweat mixed together, and he smelled terrible.

Fortunately, it wasn't just Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach who was in such a sorry state; everyone else had some kind of injury.

After all, the earthquakes, thunderbolts, and tornadoes unleashed by the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree's power never stopped and were only getting worse. Even for a group as strong as the Red-Haired Pirates, it would be extremely difficult to maintain their dignity in the face of such a natural disaster.

Under the navigator's direction, the pirate ship quickly sailed away from the dock.

Facing the cold, eerie wind, Shanks stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the nightmare island that he would never forget.

The crimson moonlight was as gentle as lake water and as hazy as mist. Intoxicating pollen drifted in the air, adding a touch of dreamlike beauty to this nightmarish island.

A stifling heat filled the air. Under the moonlit, hazy magic tree, a gradually blurring figure sheathed the black sword Night and the famous sword Griffin, and waved goodbye to the crowd as if mocking them.

The thought that the famous sword Griffin, which had followed him through many battles, had now fallen into the hands of Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, made Shanks feel a lump in his throat.

It felt like his girlfriend had been taken by a rival, and the rival had even boasted to him about it afterwards.

"Your girlfriend is so radiant."

Any man would feel frustrated and stifled!

What's even more frustrating is that Shanks, the Red-Haired, can't really defeat the enemy anytime soon!

The hidden injuries he sustained during his battle with Yang Ming were not noticeable under normal circumstances, but Shanks' emotional outburst aggravated them, causing him to cough up a mouthful of dark blood and turn deathly pale.

Upon seeing this, the crew members were all startled and quickly surrounded Shanks. This was not only out of concern for the captain's injuries, but also to intentionally or unintentionally block Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach from taking advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack and backstab.

"Captain, are you okay?"

"Captain, how did you get so badly injured?"

"Doctor! Quickly, come and see the captain's injuries!"

The ship's doctor, Dege, pushed through the crowd and examined Shanks, then his expression changed slightly as he said:

"The captain's injuries appear minor, but in reality, his internal organs and meridians have suffered varying degrees of internal damage. Coupled with the emotional agitation he experienced earlier, as well as the effects of the hypnotic pollen, his injuries have worsened."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

When they saw Shanks fighting Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, they didn't realize how powerful Lee Sin was. But after hearing the ship's doctor Dege's explanation, they suddenly understood. It turned out that Lee Sin's strength had reached such a level that he had severely injured Shanks without making a sound.

It can only be said that a skilled warrior does not achieve great feats.

"No wonder the captain ordered us to retreat, even abandoning his personal sword, Griffin."

"The captain is absolutely brilliant!"

These crew members, if they hadn't mentioned it, would have been fine, but the moment they brought up the famous sword Griffin, Shanks felt a slight twitch in his heart again.

The thought of the legendary sword Griffin falling into enemy hands, and who knows what shape it would be molded into, made Shanks clench his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh. His expression darkened, and he thought to himself:
