One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 307 Teach's Ambition

The greatsword was swung, and the flying arrows pierced through.

Needless to say, the powerful warriors and heroic spirits of Elbaf's history naturally possessed top-tier martial prowess even when looking out over the vast ocean.

When they came together as an army, their momentum was almost like a destructive torrent.

Upon seeing this, the three giants guarding the hut were also filled with rage.

"That bastard! I'm going to help Lord Wu Ma!"

Broki roared, trying to break through the barrier formed by the starlight.

"go together!"

Dongli held on tightly: "The spirits of our warriors cannot be used by such scum!"

no doubt.

What Teach did was enough to provoke anger even among them, who were usually very easygoing.

After all, due to Teach's actions, almost the entire root system of Elbaf had withered and died.

In addition, the heroic spirits of Elbaf's warriors—these most revered legends in the country—are now being used by Teach to destroy the nation.

But
"Calm down! Brogy! This is not a battle we can participate in! Going out will only distract Lord Wu Ma!"

Saul was the only one who remained calm at this moment.

He also knew that the army in front of him was far beyond what he and Donglibroki could contend with—even if they charged out, they would be killed in an instant.

Although he said this, his eyes remained fixed on the surging torrent, his huge fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Clearly, he was not truly at peace.

But it is precisely at this moment
"Buzz!"

A ray of starlight slowly seeped into the ears of the three giants from within the surrounding protective shield.

Their expressions froze for a moment, as if they doubted that they were hallucinating.

But after a moment, the three of them looked at each other and realized that it was not an illusion.

Just now, Wu Ma did indeed send them a message through some means and asked them to do something.

"Are they 'heroic spirits' who have survived for hundreds of years to bring liberation to the world?"

At this moment, he looked at the army charging towards him with immense power.

Wu Ma sighed softly.

The next moment.
"boom!"

The twin axes, wreathed in black and red lightning, descended from the sky and instantly struck his right shoulder.

"Sorry, it seems you didn't realize what I meant?"

Jabba's figure appeared in the next moment.

Meanwhile...
"boom!"

With a sweeping motion, 'Waterfall Beard' Yoruru also struck Wu Ma in the waist—even the starlight surrounding Wu Ma could not withstand the power of his sword, and the aftershocks even tore the earth apart along the direction of the strike.

Immediately following, a barrage of attacks—giant hammers, arrows, and countless other strikes—instantly pierced and tore apart Wu Ma's figure.

In a mere instant, his body was annihilated in the endless tide of the dead.

"Hahaha!"

Upon seeing this, the enormous black dragon in the sky let out a wild laugh.

Amidst his maniacal laughter, one could almost see three shadows flickering within his body, like a deep, dark abyss.

“Excellent—the souls of the twelve constellations are mine now.”

"Once I obtain the soul, I will know the location of the Star Lord."

His vertical pupils gleamed with heat as he raised his dragon claws.

"Buzz!"

An invisible force gathered on the dragon's claw and moved toward the spot where the horse had been torn apart.

He began to try to extract Wu Ma's soul using the power of the 'Nidhogg Fruit'.

But at this moment, his words seemed to carry a kind of burning expectation.

obviously.

Even after possessing Loki's body and obtaining the world's most powerful forces—the power left behind by Joy Boy and Davy Jones over many years—and this virtually invincible 'army of giant spirits', he still managed to achieve his goal.

But Teach was still not satisfied.

In his view, he was the man who inherited his father 'Lox's' ambition.

His ambition from the very beginning was to become the 'King of the World'. "If I perform another 'perfect parasitism', I can obtain the world's truly greatest 'divine power'."

He murmured to himself.

That's right.

As he said, taking over Loki's body was just the 'first step' in his plan.

Is Loki strong?

of course.

With his ancestral bloodline from the ancient giants, top-tier mastery of all three types of Haki, the power of the Nidhogg Fruit, and Loki's own 'special' nature—looking across the ocean, Loki is almost one of the strongest individuals, making him the undisputed 'strongest' in Elbaf.

This power was enough for him to get close and spy on that location, but it was still not enough.

Because Teach will always remember what happened thirty years ago.

That was when he and his mother finally escaped to the Kingdom of Lulusia, found their two younger sisters who had stayed in their hometown, and settled down again.

His father, who should have died in the Valley of the Gods, returned to the Kingdom of Lulusia.

It was a meeting that no one knew about.

“I will go to keep my promise, Teach, Alice, Verdandy, Skuld.”

At that time, Teach heard his father say this.

"I've staked my future on a man."

"He is a powerful being with the status of a god, just like the Abyss—but unlike the Abyss, he is a very interesting fellow."

Rocks grinned.

“I don’t believe in my ancestors, and I don’t care about Joy Boy’s plans. I’m going to do what I want to do!”

He heard his father talk about the man.

That's why Rocks was able to survive in the Valley of the Gods.

In that story, he heard the power of the Star Lord and learned of the Star Lord's significance to this world.

Rocks clearly considered him a partner.

But Teach is different.

He was different from birth.

So at that time, his thought was
"I want that power."

If someone has to become a god, if there has to be a king of the world—then why give up that position to someone else?

Bound by benevolence and righteousness?

Bound by gratitude or obligation?

Are you held back by your bottom line?

"Father, you've become such a boring man."

That's what Teach was thinking at the time.

A man's dream should never end—Lox was once the sea lord who came closest to becoming the king of the world.

But when he chose to gamble everything on the Star Lord and act for the so-called 'freedom of the sea,' he became boring in Teach's eyes.

This is Marshall D. Teach, a born bad seed.

Fortunately, as Rocks' child, Teach had the opportunity to see the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

He had even heard his father tell him about those special fruits.

“The Nika Fruit is ‘free’; it will only appear in the destined time when the world needs it.”

"But the Dark-Dark Fruit is different—it was originally a fruit that David kept, but it was lost in the Valley of the Gods."

Rocks told him the true origin of the God Valley incident.

The World Government's raid on that non-member state was for the sake of the David family.

It was during that battle that the patriarch of the David clan, Rocks' father, personally threw the fruits of his family's generations of possession into the sea before being 'dominated by the Dark Ones', ensuring that they would not fall into the hands of the World Government.

When Lox got to this point, he didn't seem to care—he had already staked everything on the Star Lord.

Teach didn't care at all.

Because what he cared about was just another fruit in the fruit encyclopedia at the time.

That is the 'parasitic fruit'.
