One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Whitebeard gave the answer directly.

This surprised Abel, who had assumed that his Conqueror's Haki, enhanced by the title "Arrogance of the King," should have reached an extremely high level.

Surprisingly, Whitebeard actually thought that 'Red-Haired' Shanks might be the better choice.

If we were to categorize all the powerful geniuses in this world into a single field, then Shanks would undoubtedly be a super genius who has mastered Conqueror's Haki.

All skill points were allocated to the "Domineering Aura" skill.

With that thought, Abel felt relieved.

After all, Conqueror's Haki is just a means; even if he isn't the strongest, he can still defeat others in other ways.

"Come again!"

If the first attack was a pure clash of physical skills and Haki, then the second attack was undoubtedly a contest of Devil Fruit abilities.

Because a large amount of white light had appeared on Whitebeard's raised fist.

Before it even landed, Abel felt a powerful vibration from within, filled with an aura of destruction.

This is Whitebeard's most powerful attack method: the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

"Air shock!"

Seeing this, Abel also threw a punch without hesitation.

However, what condensed on his fist was a completely different black aura.

"Dark Water!"

Just before their fists collided, the two orbs of light of different colors touched each other first.

Then something surprising happened.

Without a sound, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit that had gathered on Whitebeard's fist was completely devoured by the dark vortex on Abel's fist!

This scene caused a look of shock to flash across Whitebeard's face.

After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Meanwhile, Teach, who was on the ship and intently watching the two fight through binoculars, was trembling with excitement!

"This is it...this is the power!"

"There's no mistake, the Dark Fruit, this is what I've been searching for all my life, what I've been dreaming of!"

"But someone beat me to it! Why? Why?!"

"Kill him! Only by killing him will the Dark Fruit reappear in another part of the world, and then I will have a chance to obtain it."

At this moment, Teach's eyes were bloodshot, filled with blood vessels and endless malice and killing intent!

No one can stop him from obtaining the Dark Fruit.

He will kill anyone who stands in his way.

The battle continues on the island.

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was absorbed, catching Whitebeard completely off guard.

It was too late to change tactics at this point.

After using 'Dark Water', Abel immediately unleashed [Dragon Fist]!

With a flash of golden light, a golden dragon immediately burst forth from his fist.

Whitebeard was instantly sent flying by the Dragon Fist, and then endured the explosive power of the second Dragon Fist.

It can be said that after the first strike ended in a draw, Abel gained an absolute advantage in the second strike.

While the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is powerful, it is by no means invincible.

Moreover, Whitebeard didn't know what Devil Fruit powers Abel possessed, so it was normal for him to suffer a loss.

But it doesn't seem normal to others.

Because the person who got knocked away was none other than the fearsome white-bearded Edward Newgate!

The Whitebeard Pirates' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; they simply couldn't believe it was true.

They thought that as long as their father took action, he could immediately teach the other party a lesson and show them what he was capable of.

At the very least, they are evenly matched and it's hard to tell who is better.

So, he was sent flying after only the second exchange?

Just kidding!

This is too ridiculous.

It felt like a global problem that no one could solve had been stumbled upon and solved by an amateur scientist.

It's not real at all.

But he was speechless.

Fortunately, Marco and the others soon breathed a sigh of relief.

Whitebeard, who emerged from the explosion, appeared to be unharmed.

Only a clear fist mark remained on his chest.

"That's your Devil Fruit ability? It can actually absorb my vibrational power?"

Instead of trying to save face, Whitebeard asked a question out of curiosity.

After all, this wasn't a life-or-death battle, so naturally, you can ask whatever you want.

Whether Abel is willing to answer or not is entirely up to him.

Abel used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit right away, naturally to give Teach a clearer view and to throw out the bait.

So there was no need for him to hide it, since the navy definitely knew anyway.

"That's right, this is the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit I ate."

"Like a black hole, it absorbs all power, whether it is something with physical form like bullets or blades, or energy like fire or lightning, none of it can escape."

"Besides that, there is something else that is also within my 'absorption' range, and that is the power of Devil Fruits!"

Suddenly, a large amount of black energy rose from Abel's body, turning his entire body black.

Actually, the Dark-Dark Fruit does allow one to become an elemental being, but even after becoming an elemental being, one cannot evade attacks, so it is meaningless.

A serious expression finally appeared on the white-bearded man's face.

"So that's how it is. No wonder my Tremor-Tremor Fruit power suddenly disappeared just now; it must have been absorbed by you."

Chapter 1006 The Island Is Going to Sink

What Abel said wasn't a secret at all.

After a few more rounds of fighting, Whitebeard himself will be able to figure it out.

But Teach heard these words differently.

"Teach, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are so red, you look like you're about to kill someone."

Apu was startled.

Upon hearing this, Teach quickly composed himself and resumed his憨厚 (honest and simple) demeanor.

"Oh, I'm so moved I'm crying. Chairman Abel is so kind to me. Not only did he take me in, but now he's even willing to fight Whitebeard for me. I really don't know how I can repay Chairman Abel's kindness in the future."

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked at Teach, this troublemaker, with newfound respect.

Although he often causes trouble, he still knows how to be grateful, which is good.

Most importantly, they were all misled by Teach, thinking that someone the chairman valued so highly must have a limitless future.

But this is not the case.

It's unlikely that anyone could have imagined that Teach, who appeared so grateful to Abel, secretly wished Abel dead right now.

Good news: The long-awaited Dark Fruit has finally appeared!

Bad news: It got eaten.

Even worse news: the person they ate was extremely strong!

Hey!

Teach rubbed his eyes and continued watching the game.

Having tested each other twice, both Abel and Whitebeard had gained a certain understanding of each other's strength.

So they fought more and more freely.

A clash of powerful attacks, with Devil Fruit abilities being unleashed indiscriminately!

While Abel's Dark-Dark Fruit can absorb the power of other people's Devil Fruits to a certain extent, it is ineffective against the series of attacks triggered by Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

To put it simply, if Whitebeard had channeled the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit into his hands or weapons as before and attacked directly, it would have been easily absorbed.

However, if Whitebeard were to use the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to cause an earthquake and thus indirectly attack, then Abel would not be able to absorb it.

Even if it were to absorb it, it could only absorb the rubble left after the earthquake, which would be of no use.

This shows that Whitebeard had a wealth of combat experience, and that he came up with a solution so quickly.

This result in a surge in the destructive power on the surrounding environment.

"Broken jade!"

Whitebeard slammed his fist into the air in front of him.

Then you can see that the air in front of you is like glass, showing spiderweb-like cracks.

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly powerful shockwave tore through the ground beneath Whitebeard's feet and extended all the way to where Abel was.

Under such force, even a giant steel ship would be forcibly torn in two by this shockwave.

However, Abel was no sham. Faced with Whitebeard's powerful attack, he calmed his mind and unleashed a slash!
