The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"When did this guy become an ability user?! Has he been hiding his abilities all along?!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates stared wide-eyed at the sight and exclaimed in surprise.

"That's the power of the Devil Fruit he stole after killing Thatch!!"

Ace stared intently at the scene before him, as if the scene from Banaro Island was repeating itself once again!

"A Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit ability!!"

That darkness, like a black hole, seemed to devour all power!

"It's said to be the most dangerous of the natural-type abilities, and the only one with the ability to materialize?!"

On the iron wall, the Warring States period, whose golden Buddha form had already dissipated, stood there, his expression still serious as he stared at the situation on the ice.

Not only him, but also another naval admiral, Aokiji, and chief of staff, Tsuru, arrived here one after another.

Not far from them, Ryder gracefully opened his umbrella, also looking down with great interest.

797 "The son who betrayed Whitebeard, and the father who wants to clean house—a father-son showdown? Hehehehe, that's quite interesting~"

On the ice.

"Dark acupoint!!"

After darkness enveloped the entire area, Blackbeard Teach laughed loudly once more:

"Hahaha, Daddy, Sachi's dead, and the Moby Dick is destroyed. Even though I once sincerely admired and worshipped you..."

"But now, you can't even keep one of your four vehicles!!"

"Now it's our time! Taste the power of darkness! Zehahaha!!"

Teach laughed loudly, and the darkness beneath his feet, which shrouded the entire ice layer, began to emanate a powerful gravitational pull, almost swallowing everything on the ice surface!

"..."

Whitebeard glanced at his feet, said nothing, but a huge, shimmering white halo suddenly appeared around his left hand!

"Hahaha, it's useless! No ability is of any use against me!!"

A darkness emanating endless danger covered his pitch-black palm. Blackbeard Teach laughed and spread his five fingers, aiming them at Whitebeard's gleaming white fist that was about to fall.

"Dark Water!!"

The pure white and dark black clashed instantly, but the expected shockwave did not occur.

Instead, as the dark, so-called "Dark Water" technique rolled, the shimmering white aura gradually faded away.

Until completely digested and disappeared!!

"How about it, Dad? This is my darkness!!"

Seeing that this move worked and even Whitebeard's attack was easily blocked, Blackbeard Teach regained his confidence and smiled confidently.

"It can even absorb the power of Devil Fruits and render them powerless!!"

"In other words, you are no longer capable of causing any vibrations!!"

As he spoke, Teach's dark hand slammed into Whitebeard's arm, instantly sealing his vibrational power!

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to 'Z Pretends to Have ADHD' for another 10,000 points!! I am truly grateful!! That brings my total to 50,000 points, you're awesome!!]

391 Arrogance and recklessness lead to the downfall of a tyrant! The Blackbeard Pirates fall apart!

"watch out!!"

Teach's other hand slammed into Whitebeard's stomach!

boom! !

A dull thud echoed across the darkness-shrouded land.

"Um?!"

Blackbeard Teach raised an eyebrow and looked at the spot where his fist had struck.

All that could be seen was a layer of jet-black Armament Haki covering it, which easily blocked his punch.

"Isn't that impressive?! He's a seasoned veteran, always making the right choice at crucial moments!!"

A fierce glint flashed in Teach's eyes.

Just when I wanted to clench my fist into a claw and tear a piece of flesh off Whitebeard's body~

"I see……"

The calm tone instantly exploded in Teach's ears.

"It can prevent people from using their Devil Fruit abilities, but it cannot seal away their physical strength or the use of Haki."

"and……"

Whitebeard suddenly swung his arm, flinging away the black hand that was gripping his arm.

At the same time, the even larger, shimmering white halo reappeared.

"As long as you don't grab or touch it, the ability will still function normally!!!"

As he spoke, that fist, carrying immense power, slammed down towards Teach's forehead once more.

"Dark Water!!"

The latter was surprised that Whitebeard had figured out most of the effects of his ability so quickly after just one contact. He immediately frantically used the [Dark Water] that had nullified the ability again.

"Thief, thief hahaha, it's no use telling me!!"

Seeing that the white halo had been blocked once again, Teach breathed a sigh of relief.

However~~

"You can attract Devil Fruit users to restrict their movements, but you can't stop them from acting while they're being attracted, right?!"

After this second encounter, Whitebeard had a general understanding of the Dark-Dark Fruit's abilities.

And once one's abilities are fully understood, then that means...

"Now I can use all my skills to deal with you..."

Link looked at the black-bearded man with a rather unpleasant expression, and then at the Iron Wall Fortress.

He took something out of his hand and gently waved it towards the Warring States period.

"Um?!!"

Sengoku looked up and, after seeing clearly what it was, his pupils contracted slightly.

On the ice.

"Your end is today, Teach!!"

After the white-bearded man finished speaking in a low voice.

"Um?!!"

Blackbeard suddenly had a very ominous premonition.

His premonition soon came true.

As his hand absorbed the force of the vibration.

Dang! !

Whitebeard's other hand wasn't idle either!

He spun the supreme grade sword, Murakumogiri, into his hand.

With Blackbeard Teach's expression changing drastically, a powerful strike, imbued with overwhelming force, slammed into his left chest, just above his shoulder.

"Your ability is indeed a nemesis for Devil Fruit users, but..."

With a downward pressure, the sharp blade knocked Teach to the ground.

"it hurts!!"

The latter cried out, the double pain from absorbing the Dark Fruit now reflected back onto him, causing his vision to blur with pain.

"Your ability is completely ineffective against masters of physical combat and Haki."

"Or even..."

Boom! !

Whitebeard stomped one foot on Teach's wrist, and with a swift motion, he pulled out the Murakumogiri, pressing the end of the hilt against Teach's other hand!

They pinned him firmly to the ground.

"Even if you're a Devil Fruit user, using physical techniques and Haki to deal with you can still be quite effective!!"

The free hand then grabbed Teach by the neck.

"They thought they had some ability and could deal with anyone in this world."

Even with an absolute advantage and holding Teach's life in his hands, his gaze remained calm and imposing.

"Arrogance and recklessness—these are your weaknesses!!"

Beneath the calm, low voice, a layer of shimmering white light suddenly appeared on the hand gripping Teach's neck.

And within that halo, black and red arcs of electricity were interwoven!

"Ho ho..."

Feeling the imposing force emanating from his neck, Teach felt the hairs on his entire body stand on end.

A cold sweat broke out on his back, and he instantly snapped out of his daze, forgetting all the excruciating pain he had just experienced.

"Dad..."

He opened his mouthful of rotten teeth and exclaimed in alarm:

"Stop, Dad!! Stop! I'm your son!!"

Teach was making a final struggle, his eyes revealing his utter desperation.

"Are you really going to kill me?!"

"You're the only one who doesn't deserve to be my son, Teach!!!"

The calm tone faded away.

boom! ! !

The immense power that shattered the entire ice surface and darkness exploded outwards!

The powerful shockwave, almost enough to capsize the ocean and overturn an island, contained the full force of Whitebeard's attack at his peak.

It shattered the entire icy land to pieces!

The darkness that had enveloped it was abruptly shattered at that moment!

"Dad!!"

The Whitebeard Pirates immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"Bravo!!"

Even the Straw Hat Pirates were somewhat surprised and clicked their tongues in astonishment.

"This is the strength of the world's strongest man?!"

They had clearly witnessed the formidable strength that Whitebeard displayed in his rage at that moment!

"The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit..."

Shiryu's eyes were fixed intently on Whitebeard's retreating figure, a fleeting glint of greed in his gaze.

Who wouldn't want such world-class power?!

"They just defeated that Blackbeard like that?!"

Jinbe was also there, gazing at the direction where the ice had broken.

"No, not yet!!"

Luo, who was most sensitive to the signs of life, raised an eyebrow.
