I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but from the moment we started fighting until now, all I can say is that you're not good enough for him!!!"

Bai Yun said disdainfully, "If it weren't for the 'swear word warning,' I would have cursed Blackbeard with all sorts of things he'd never heard before."

As soon as Bai Yun finished speaking, Blackbeard's laughter stopped abruptly, his missing teeth snapped shut, and his eyes turned cold.

Before he could speak, Bai Yun retorted first.

"Even putting that aside, you're only inviting me now for the fruits of my labor."

Blackbeard fell silent. Indeed, with White Luck's Devil Fruit present, adding him would only create a bomb; it was better to take it.

“Speak up! Why won’t you speak?! If you’re so capable, swear that you don’t think that way. If you do, you’re a woman and will never become the world’s overlord.”

Bai Yun's words immediately silenced Blackbeard, and with his intentions exposed, Blackbeard took action.

"liberation!!"

Black smoke spread to Blackbeard's right hand until it was completely covered, and his palm writhed as the wind pressure ball was sent back.

Bai Yun had anticipated this situation.

The long sword in his hand instantly transformed into a flintlock pistol. Bai Yun raised the gun, aimed the muzzle at Blackbeard, and pulled the trigger. However, instead of a bullet being fired, a black hole appeared in front of the muzzle, and the suction force pulled the wind pressure ball in again.

Upon seeing this, Blackbeard was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.

Bai Yun raised the muzzle of his gun, blew on it, and the black smoke from the muzzle dissipated, as if to say, "Kid, you still underestimate me."

........

(The bracelet's ability to replicate can only be used under the moonlight, and a maximum of six abilities can be replicated.)

The bracelet now replicates the following abilities: Blast-Blast Fruit, Light-Heavy Fruit, Human-Human Fruit, Flame-Flame Fruit, Flower-Flower Fruit, Dark-Dark Fruit;

.........

Blackbeard, who had seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, had never seen this ability of Whitebeard before.

Indeed, whoever has the complete Devil Fruit encyclopedia might see new fruits appear after the encyclopedia is created.

Furthermore, although Devil Fruit abilities can be used on weapons, such as Whitebeard using his naginata to create shockwaves, the ability to use a weapon as a medium to unleash the Devil Fruit's power is still possible.

But to give weapons the abilities of others like Bai Yun?! What kind of ability is that?!

"This is impossible! What kind of fruit did you eat?!"

Blackbeard asked loudly, thinking that he believed the Dark-Dark Fruit was the best and the most powerful fruit in the world, otherwise he wouldn't have gone into hiding for so many years for it.

But now that idea has been shaken.

"I already told you, guess."

Blackbeard's question was the same, and Bai Yun's answer was the same.

As soon as Bai Yun finished speaking, he pulled the trigger of his flintlock pistol again. The black hole reappeared instantly, and the wind pressure ball flew towards Blackbeard again, passing around like a ball.

Blackbeard narrowed his eyes, intending to use the same trick to suck away the wind pressure ball, but as soon as he raised his arm, the wind pressure ball exploded instantly, scattering countless small wind blades, catching Blackbeard off guard. Only after the small wind blades cut through part of it did he activate Armament Haki to defend himself.

As the wind subsided, Blackbeard's clothes were revealed to be tattered, and his arms, stomach, and legs were covered with cuts from small wind blades.

The Dark-Dark Fruit's side effect was double the pain, causing Blackbeard to scream in agony.

"ah!!!!"

"It hurts so much!! It hurts so much!! It hurts so much!!!"

"You bastard!!"

As Blackbeard shouted, black smoke suddenly billowed from his body.

Burgess instantly understood, and crashed into the house next to him, crashing into the other side of the street. He then jumped onto the roof and quickly headed towards Doc Q and Oka.

As expected, as Burgess left, black smoke billowed from Blackbeard's body, eventually shooting straight into the sky.

"Dark acupoints!"

Looking down, one could see a plume of black smoke encircling the center of Demon Valley Town, then spreading outwards until it reached Blackbeard's feet.

Bai Yun immediately flew up to avoid the black smoke. Looking down, he saw that the entire ground was covered with a layer of black paint, covering a vast area.

As the black smoke passes by, everything on it, including living things, is swallowed, inhaled, and compressed.

Rocks, trees, flowers, houses—anything within the range of the black smoke was swallowed up.

Upon seeing this spectacular scene, Bai Yun frowned.

"No wonder it's called the most dangerous ability in the history of Devil Fruits."

Bai Yun sighed, "It's a pity I transmigrated too early. Blackbeard has already grown up. But even if it were ten years earlier, I wouldn't be able to touch Blackbeard. If I tried to touch the Whitebeard Pirates without a reason, Whitebeard would fight me to the death."

Unless you traveled more than 20 years earlier, before Blackbeard even joined the Whitebeard Pirates, you could kick him into the sea.

Chapter 224 Broken Arm

It's really hard to guess what Bai Yun's fruit will be.

Most importantly, there's this ordinary-looking bracelet.

When the bracelet revealed its Devil Fruit power, Blackbeard exclaimed, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

But reality is possible, and the wind pressure ball was sent back, incidentally inflicting a mild form of "death by a thousand cuts" on him without causing any physical loss. Enraged, he activated his "Dark Acupoints," completely devouring the center of Demon Valley Town and creating an open space.

........

In the distance, at the outer edge of the area covered by Blackbeard's Dark Cave, Doc Q, Oka, and Burgess had already met up and were standing on the rooftop watching White Fortune and Blackbeard in the center.

By this time, Oka's arm injury had already been treated and bandaged by Poison Q.

"Who is this bastard?"

"They seem to harbor a deep-seated hatred towards us."

Bages looked at the palm print on his hand and said, puzzled.

He didn't know Bai Yun; he was most likely someone Blackbeard had offended before he came after them.

"Ahem, whoever it is, they're not easy to deal with. I hope the captain doesn't die."

"Although, death is a relief."

Poison Q coughed twice, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, which was normal for him.

Oka remained silent, only sighing, "Fate..."

........

The black smoke spread outwards, ending at the black-bearded man's feet, and then dissipated.

The town center of Mogu, which had been razed to the ground, suddenly became spacious.

Looking at the original location of the tavern, Bai Yun thought, "Now there's no chance to fight inside the tavern. Besides, we took over the tavern from outside, so it shouldn't count as fighting inside, and therefore, it shouldn't be considered breaking the rules, right?"

"Oh my god, that's terrifying! If you used this trick to demolish the properties early, you'd make a fortune!"

This is Bai Yun's assessment of Blackbeard's actions just now.

With such a tone, so disdainful, Blackbeard now hated Whitebeard's damn smile and tone just as much as Crocodile did.

Without answering Bai Yun's question, Blackbeard made another move.

"liberation!"

Behind Blackbeard, a plume of black smoke shot into the sky, completely covering the area above the emptied center of Demon Valley Town. The moon was obscured, and darkness descended, as if some terrifying demon might leap out of the darkness at any moment.

Then, from the black smoke above, countless things slowly appeared and then crashed down.

Boulders, fragments of houses, planks, flowers, trees, and so on.

Countless things that had just been swallowed by Blackbeard's dark acupoints fell like meteorites, crashing down.

Bai Yun looked up at the falling objects. A house... no, it should be half a house, crashed down on him.

But what's the use of a wide-area, non-targeting attack?

The flintlock pistol transformed back into a longsword, and Bai Yun swung the sword upwards.

From Bages' perspective, a flash of silver light appeared directly above Bai Yun, and the next second, half of the house that fell, along with the things that fell from it, and even the black smoke from Blackbeard in the sky, were all cut in half. Bai Yun remained floating in the air, but nothing hit him.

Blackbeard had been waiting for this moment.

The instant Bai Yun slashed out, his right hand immediately rose, and the black hole's suction force erupted, pulling Bai Yun down from mid-air in an instant, catching him completely off guard and with incredible speed.

A smile appeared on Blackbeard's face. He took out his left hand, which had been behind his back, and held a dagger, aiming it at Bai Yun's heart.

Bai Yun's face also "appropriately" showed panic, which made Blackbeard's smile even deeper.

"Go to hell!! Long-haired brat!!"

The white cloud hurtled down, getting closer and closer!!

At the critical point, Blackbeard thrust his left hand forward with a sudden stab.

"when!"

But then a clanging sound was heard.

Blackbeard's right palm and the dagger in his left hand both pierced Bai Yun's chest and shield.

Blackbeard's smile turned to astonishment, and his eyes widened uncontrollably.

"My abilities are forever unfathomable!"

Bai Yun's voice came, and the shield emitted a white light, wriggling and changing back into Bai Yun's hand, transforming back into a long sword.

Without further ado, Bai Yun slashed down with his sword.

Blood splattered from an arm.

Chapter 225 Now I'm all alone.

The arrival of dawn signaled the end of Bai Yun's confident one-against-four-man victory.

........

Taking advantage of Bai Yun's slash that cut through the falling object, Blackbeard raised his right hand and sucked it down, catching Bai Yun off guard. His left-hand dagger was also aimed at Bai Yun's heart, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Bai Yun appeared panicked, but inwardly thought: "Just wait and see if I don't cut you down."

Blackbeard thrust excitedly, but unexpectedly, Bai Yun's longsword instantly transformed into a shield, blocking their path. His palm and dagger struck the shield.
