Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Luo Feng didn't mince words and spoke directly to Kobra halfway through the journey, revealing the purpose of their trip.

"Of course you can. Given our current relationship, even if you take the altar away, we won't say anything."

'That's spot on! That's fucking spot on!'

Hearing this, Luo Feng was filled with endless emotion. This old king was just too damn shrewd!

They've given them so many benefits, even a daughter, and countless sums of money. Now they're even giving them the Seastone Altar without a second thought. Isn't this the kind of father-in-law the pirates are?

Luo Feng exclaimed, "Where can you find such a wonderful father-in-law?!"

Of course, jokes aside, Luo Feng was well aware of Cobra's purpose in doing all this: paving the way for Vivi!

If it weren't for his only daughter and only heir, why would he have gone to such lengths?

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, my purpose in returning is to ensure Vivi obtains this new Devil Fruit!"

Luo Feng remained calm and waved his hand, indicating that the old king did not need to do so.

Upon hearing this, not only Cobra and the two guard commanders beside him, Gakkabel, but also Vivi herself were somewhat stunned.

"Vivi, the power I've given you is the Dark-Dark Fruit!"

Luo Feng smiled and spoke to Vivi in ​​front of Cobra and the others.

At this point, Vivi finally learned that the Devil Fruit she was about to inherit was actually the Dark-Dark Fruit!

The most unique type of nature-based creature. Although she didn't know much about it, she had learned some basic knowledge from being around Luo Feng's team for so long...

This fruit is not only special, but also absolutely powerful!

Especially for those who excel at support abilities, this is definitely the most useful skill!

A Devil Fruit user who can control everything and even strip others of their powerful Devil Fruit abilities. Although their role is mostly supportive, they are not particularly impressive in face-to-face battles.

But that's enough!

Don't forget, Vivi's identity is that of the Queen of a country!

As the only descendant of Cobra, Vivi will be the future queen of Alabasta sooner or later!

The power of the Dark-Dark Fruit will definitely give their royal family more means to protect the kingdom!

Putting everything else aside, almost 99 percent of the people on this ocean are unaware of the existence of such a special thing as the Dark-Dark Fruit.

If a character similar to Crocodile were to invade in the future, this move alone would be enough to inflict a crushing defeat on them!

After all, a user whose ability is suppressed by the Dark-Dark Fruit is no different from an ordinary person, except that they are physically stronger. If they are hit by a knife or a gun, they will basically be corpses.

Not to mention, with the existence of Seastone, anyone who could threaten Alabasta in the future is probably dreaming!

In addition, as the queen of a country, she has the convenience of such abilities, as well as a large population base.

Vivi could easily use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to create even more 'guardian deities' for Alabasta.

To put it bluntly, Alabasta will definitely not only have the power inheritance of two ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits in the future!

Having the Dark-Dark Fruit is definitely a source of confidence!

……

'Ten days from now, the public execution of Fire Fist Ace will take place in Marineford!'

Just then, a message came from the Navy Headquarters.

The date of what appears to be Fire Fist Ace's execution has become known to the world... 9.

Chapter 145 The Dark Fruit Reborn!

"It seems that yet another corpse that cannot be exposed to the light of day is about to become nourishment for this land."

"Hahaha, if that old guy Shiki knew that he was buried with such a tasteless fellow, he'd probably be so angry he'd come back to life!"

In Arubana, in that familiar underground palace, accompanied by Cobra and others, Luo Feng and his group were observing the ritual on the Seastone altar.

After returning to Alabasta and receiving a welcome dinner arranged by Cobra, Luo Feng, not wanting to waste any time, didn't rest and rushed to Arubana, this secret place, to steal the Dark-Dark Fruit!

Seeing the familiar steps on the altar, exactly the same as last time, no one reacted much; after all, they had experienced it once before.

Crocodile "Zero 17" Dahl, who was visiting for the first time, was extremely interested and kept making teasing remarks.

Now, his old grudges with the royal family are nothing. With Luo Feng's help, the two sides have already cleared things up, so there is nothing wrong with them meeting now.

"You're getting too excited, crocodile."

"Furthermore, this voyage will be completely transparent for us. We will be facing those self-proclaimed beacons of light, self-righteous individuals, and self-proclaimed powerful individuals."

Luo Feng remained calm as he corrected Crocodile's words.

This may be their last return journey for a while, and they will have to set off immediately after being stripped of the Dark Fruit.

Then it will be a real voyage, facing and confronting behemoths like the Navy, the World Government, and the Four Emperors!

News from Marineford indicated that the date for Ace's public execution had been set, a fact they learned on their way to Arubana.

Including the travel time, there were actually less than ten days left until that day, and they didn't have that much time to waste.

After all, they had one more thing to do before entering that storm's vortex...

"It seems like it's almost over."

Luo Feng's senses were incredibly clear. Blackbeard, who was already weak and in a terrible state on the altar, was now barely breathing!

His life force was so weak that, without careful observation, his body was practically indistinguishable from a corpse, and he was about to die!

This situation was very familiar to Luo Feng and the others, who had already done it once before; it was the rhythm of the fruit peeling process coming to an end.

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, the old king Cobra, who was standing to the side, and the three commanders of the guards immediately became extremely tense, and their breathing even stopped temporarily out of their bodies.

There was nothing they could do; they already knew that this was a fruit Luo Feng had specially brought back for Princess Weiwei to eat.

Moreover, at the banquet the previous night, they had also learned roughly about the fruit's general abilities and characteristics.

It's practically a living, risk-free, and surprisingly powerful upgraded altar!

This shocked the royal family, including Cobra!

After all, they had never even come into contact with slightly more powerful Devil Fruit abilities before, and they regarded even the most ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits like those of Gaka and Bell as treasures.

Moreover, this is a dark fruit that most people in the world do not know about.

In fact, Luo Feng didn't even say that much to them. There was no need. A simple mention of a Logia-type Devil Fruit would have been enough!

In the eyes of ordinary people like them, Logia-type Devil Fruits represent invincibility and absolute power. Even the common people know that the Navy's top combat force—the three admirals—are all Logia-type Devil Fruit users!

This news hit Cobra and the others hard, and you can imagine how they felt at that moment...

This is an incredible gift. Putting aside Vivi's perspective, from the country's point of view, regardless of how Alabasta develops in the future, it already possesses the ability to protect itself!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Luo Feng. No matter how many enemies you face in the future, regardless of right or wrong, Alabasta will always stand firmly by your side!"

These were Cobra's exact words, and they were quite weighty. Given the current relationship between the two sides, he had no need to feign refusal and directly accepted this fruit ability, which was indeed extremely important to them!

Of course, he also responded with sufficient attitude. It's important to understand that while his words were similar to his previous ones, their meaning was entirely different.

This time, he wasn't just representing their royal family; he was bringing the entire vast kingdom with him!

Previously, even though Cobra and Luo Feng were on the same side, he had only promised the royal family unconditional support. Even though his daughter was in Luo Feng's hands, he did not take the entire country and its people with him.

This king is quite righteous in his principles, but now things are different; he has brought out the entire Alabasta!

In other words, the tens of millions of citizens of this great nation are now just like Luo Feng's own people!

Ants may be small, but their sheer numbers allow them to sometimes accomplish what even dragons cannot.

These things are of little use to Luo Feng, who is a pirate, right now, but they might be in the future...

This is definitely a powerful hidden force within Luo Feng's team!

After a long while, finally, with a flash of purple-black light, all the brilliance on the Seastone Altar slowly faded, and the slight tremor also stopped.

"it's over!"

Even though everyone has experienced similar things, at this moment, people still couldn't help but feel a little excited.

'call out!'

The light completely subsided, and with a beam of light shooting out, it announced the complete end of this fruit inheritance!

Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach, this extremely ambitious opportunist, ultimately failed to recapture the glory he once had in the world of One Piece.

All the glory of being a Yonko with two Devil Fruits or the strongest being was irrelevant to him. At this moment, he was completely devoid of life and became a corpse. His body, which was half leaning against the sea stone altar, fell to the ground as the light faded.

Of course, no one paid attention to this loser on the Great Voyage; all eyes were focused on the countless piles of fruit surrounding the Seastone altar.

In its center is an unidentified, deep purple, grape-like fruit.

At this moment, it was emitting a faint light, and on the fruit, ring-like patterns gradually appeared...

Chapter 146 Vivi, the Future Pure-Hearted Dark Queen

That's right, unlike the Float-Float Fruit last time, the inheritance of the Dark-Dark Fruit this time can be described as perfectly complete!

The demonic power did not escape, but was successfully restrained by the Seastone altar and burrowed into the nearby fruit that resembled it!

Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great, it saves us the trouble of searching. Otherwise, even if we could keep it within Alabasta, finding such a small fruit would be quite troublesome.

“Go, Weiwei, eat it, and you will have its power,” Luo Feng said, patting Weiwei on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Weiwei nodded, her heart pounding with excitement, and two blushes appeared on her face.

Cobra, Icarus, and the others stared wide-eyed at Vivi as she walked up to the altar with exaggerated anticipation.

"It tastes...it's awful."

As expected, that familiar sarcastic voice rang out once again, and everyone couldn't help but laugh. Few of those present hadn't experienced this kind of scene before…

"Daughter, how are you feeling?"

Seeing that Vivi hadn't responded for a while, Kobra walked up to her anxiously and asked.

"It's a strange feeling. It's like there's something inexplicable inside 08, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

“I’ll give it a try, Father…”

As she spoke, Weiwei opened one of her small hands, trying to mobilize the inexplicable power within her body...
