Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Even several maritime emperors have turned their attention to this place.

There was no way around it; the news released by the Navy and the World Government this time was too bombshell, directly exposing the Dark-Dark Fruit, which almost no one in the world knew about!

Even the characteristics and abilities of this fruit are fully disclosed in great detail, clearly designed to whet people's appetites and lest the world not be tempted!

"Wow, really? This is much better than SMILE!"

"Is it in the Navy's hands, or the World Government's? Are they expecting me to steal it?!"

In Wano Country, on Onigashima, the drunken Kaido drank as he read the report, his thunderous laughter echoing from the island.

'boom! '

Suddenly, Kaido's laughter stopped abruptly. He abruptly threw the gourd in his hand to the ground, and his emotions changed drastically in an instant!

"Quinn, go find out where this fruit is. Don't disappoint me like Jack did!"

"Hey, Governor, how dare you compare me to that good-for-nothing?!"

Upon hearing this, Quinn, with his flabby body hanging loosely, shouted a couple of exaggerated words, then turned around and walked out of Ghost Island.

Without a doubt, this was the most interesting and exciting piece of information he had received since the Marineford War!

No one doubts that if the location of this fruit were truly revealed, even if it were in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Kaido, that madman, would definitely storm the Holy Land and steal the fruit!

It's important to know that Kaido has always been keen on creating a super army full of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, and he values ​​artificial Devil Fruits, despite their significant side effects, so much!

And what's more, the Dark-Dark Fruit is 100% capable of stealing Devil Fruits?

If he had this, wouldn't Kaido be able to create a super Beasts Pirates crew in no time?

This is much more delicious than SMILE, instantly whetting Kaido's appetite and making him drool with desire, determined to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit!

"MOM~MOM. I'm interested in this fruit."

"Creek, go and gather information for me. Find out where this fruit is. If you can't find it, call Morgans here!"

On Cake Island, Big Mom stared with her lantern-like eyes and a ferocious expression as she devoured sweets while giving orders to her son below.

"Yes, Mom!"

Cracker, one of the three Sweet Commanders and the highest-ranking officer of the Big Mom Pirates, responded quickly upon hearing the order, then took his greatsword and walked out of the castle.

For the middle-aged woman who loves collecting, this hidden fruit was exactly what she wanted.

Although her greatest interest is collecting various rare races, she also has a crazy love for all kinds of Devil Fruit abilities related to desserts and sweets!

It should be noted that there are countless ability users on this ocean, and even powerful beings like the Four Emperors may not be able to find them all.

While most Devil Fruit users who possess the ability to cook desserts and sweets are concentrated on Whole Cake Island, there are also many who are 'straggling' elsewhere or have already been eaten.

If Big Mom possessed this Devil Fruit, she could search for it purposefully and plunder it ruthlessly, collecting all the Devil Fruits related to sweets and desserts in the world in the shortest amount of time!

Most importantly, besides this, Big Mom has always harbored ambitions for the throne of the Pirate King, and this Devil Fruit has given her hope...

Of course, it wasn't just her; Kaido had the same mentality.

Meanwhile, on an island in the New World, Shanks also held a newspaper, looking at the Dark-Dark Fruit revealed in it, but his attitude was completely different from that of the two emperors...

Shanks frowned, his face grim, which made the three scars on his left eye look rather frightening.

"Why reveal it at this time!"

"World Government, Navy, you idiots, you're all in too much of a hurry!"

Chapter 337 Undercurrents Surge, Storms Rise Again!

"What's wrong, boss?"

On an island in the New World, Lucky Roux, a member of the Red-Haired Pirates, was gnawing on a large meat leg when he saw Shanks returning from the dense forest. With a deep expression, he asked Shanks curiously.

"Shanks, I think those two guys will get restless after this news comes out. So, shall we make our move?"

On the other side, Beckman, the second-in-command of the Red-Haired Pirates, was smoking a cigarette and had a serious expression on his face when he asked Shanks a question.

"No, we'll wait and see."

Shanks walked slowly to the front of the group, plopped down on a stone stool, picked up a bowl of wine next to him, and gulped it down.

Then, he said to everyone, "I don't know what the World Government is planning to do."

"But releasing this kind of information at this time is clearly not a wise move."

"Those two guys will definitely make a move, but the mysteriously appearing Godfall gang is no pushover either. This time, we're not going anywhere; we'll just stay here and wait for this storm to break!"

The two guys they were talking about were undoubtedly the other two Yonko, Kaido and Big Mom.

Unlike the two monsters who were ready to act as soon as they heard about the Dark-Dark Fruit, Shanks already knew about its existence and that it was on Godfall's crew.

Shanks was just as curious about the fruit, but he never considered taking it. Otherwise, he would have approached the Godfall Pirates a year ago after the Marineford War.

Therefore, although Shanks didn't understand what kind of divine operation the World Government was making when the Dark-Dark Fruit was revealed, he still chose to wait and see and did not intend to take action against any force!

This most low-profile of the Four Emperors remains shrouded in mystery to this day.

No one knows what their purpose is in dominating a corner of the New World. As the pinnacle of the pirate world, they manage to remain indifferent and uninvolved in most matters at sea, which is truly baffling...

"Damn it, the World Government and the Navy, those scoundrels, have finally shown their ugly faces!"

"You say they look terrifying? Look at these scumbags! Is there anything more hideous on this high seas than them?!"

Godfall Islands—Main Island, behind the Golden City…

Inside a meeting room, Bartolomeo was spitting and spewing profanities, a string of vulgarities pouring from his mouth.

The Godfall crew had clearly learned of the news released by the World Government and the Navy, and the entire Godfall group was currently gathered here to discuss countermeasures.

"This is the Navy that always prides itself on justice, and the World Government that claims to maintain world peace. No wonder they can do such absurd things as supporting Doflamingo and invading our country!"

Cyrus, holding the newspaper in his hands, was equally indignant, his face full of contempt.

After nearly a year of getting along, he and Violet have completely integrated into the Godfall Pirates, and the initial restraint they felt when they first joined has vanished.

"Hahaha, justice? It's never been related to them..."

"Captain, what do you think of this?"

Crocodile scoffed dismissively, then looked at Luo Feng, who was seated at the head of the table, and asked him.

"Unable to seize Vivi's Dark Fruit, they've resorted to such methods?"

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. His expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest hint of panic. He said indifferently, "Well... I had long expected this day to come."

"I thought of this day when those guys found out about the existence of the Dark-Dark Fruit, but thankfully, it didn't come too soon."

"At times like these, there aren't many people who can threaten us..."

Luo Feng remained completely calm and composed in the face of this unexpected event!

If the World Government had revealed their possession of the Dark-Dark Fruit a year ago, after the Marineford War, it would have given him a real headache.

After all, at that time, he had only just acquired the strength of a general...

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!

With Devil Fruits of this caliber in their hands, once the news gets out, it's no surprise that even Emperor-level monsters will be envious!

Back then, dealing with the Four Emperors' crew was like twisting the thigh with the arm; they were extremely difficult to contend with.

But now, they already possess the fighting power of a Yonko crew!

No longer the one imposed upon them by the world for the sake of praise after they just defeated Whitebeard, they now truly possess the strength to stand on equal footing with the Four Emperors' crews and go toe-to-toe with them!

Therefore, Luo Feng is not worried at all about the World Government exposing the Dark-Dark Fruit at this time. Even if the Four Emperors really come knocking on his door, so what?

He couldn't wait to test his skills against the Four Emperors at their peak and see who was stronger!

The only thing we need to be careful about is still the Navy and the World Government, those two shameless organizations!

The title of "King of Bargains" is perfectly fitting for them. They always appear out of nowhere when other forces have just finished their battles and are at their most injured and exhausted, ready to reap the rewards.

This approach is clever, but it is certainly controversial, and Luo Feng believes it is necessary to take precautions against it.

After all, he didn't believe the World Government would just stand by and watch the Dark-Dark Fruit be taken away by another force...

"Alright, don't worry. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. We'll wait for the scouts to send back news and then adapt accordingly."

Luo Feng waved his hand, signaling his companions to disperse and each go about their duties.

At this point, it's still unknown which forces will target them, so there's no need to prepare so early. They might as well use this time to consolidate their cultivation.

Currently, under the Godfall faction, Baroque's intelligence capabilities are quite strong, and it can be said that he has infiltrated various forces.

Although it's impossible for them to hold important positions within that faction, they've only been laying the groundwork for less than a year.

However, these undercover agents can still find out about any movement or disturbance from these forces in a short period of time.

"The World Government, even at this point, still wants to pretend and not just expose me directly? This disgusting behavior is simply too laughable..."

After his companions left the meeting room, Luo Feng picked up the two (King's) reports again, looked at the contents, and sneered.

What he disdains is clearly the extremely hypocritical reporting about the World Government!

Even though the existence of the Dark-Dark Fruit has been exposed, and things have come to this point, they still want to conceal it and haven't directly revealed who owns the fruit to the world...

What other reasons are there? Isn't it all about covering up their shame, considering the world's opinion, and not wanting their dark side to be exposed to the world?

The world government has truly mastered the art of hypocrisy; in this respect, no one on the entire ocean can match its expertise!

As Luo Feng had predicted, the World Government clearly wasn't planning to wait long this time...

Having waited a year without obtaining the Dark Fruit, they had completely lost their patience!

Just three days after the existence and power of the Dark-Dark Fruit were revealed, a newspaper printed by the World Economic Herald was carried by countless seagulls and once again swept across the entire ocean!

Chapter 338 Complete Exposure, The Wrathful Gaze from the Strongest Creature!

The youngest Emperor of the Sea, the youngest Yonko-level pirate crew—why did they rise to power so rapidly?!

The answer has been revealed: the Dark-Dark Fruit belongs to—the Godfall Pirates!

It's only been two days since the Dark-Dark Fruit was last revealed...

The news from two days ago has not yet spread all over the world, and its popularity is still rising.

But on the third day, the owner of the Dark Fruit was revealed!

　Nine spirits are not to be underestimated. This time, the published and exposed Azure Organization 2 is no longer the World Government and Navy 8, but has become the most influential 2 World Economic Report 76!
