That's what they say, but Blackbeard's heart is bleeding.
That's the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!
The world's strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.
Whitebeard, having lost his Devil Fruit, is looking at Luffy.
"Kurarara, Straw Hat Boy,"
The white-bearded man's voice was a little hoarse, "I didn't expect it to actually succeed."
"Oh, I was surprised too."
Luffy grinned. "But old man, you can't go back to the way things were before, can you?"
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit was removed from Whitebeard's body, and the power controlling Whitebeard also disappeared.
However, Whitebeard still retained traces of his demonic form.
The body of a half-demon has sharp fangs and black wings.
Luffy looked at Whitebeard and asked, "Uncle, what exactly are you now?"
Chapter 374 The Miracle of the Sea, the Power of Two Devil Fruit Abilities
What does that count for?
Even Whitebeard would have had a hard time answering the question Luffy asked.
Only when the Devil Fruit user dies will the Devil Fruit regenerate somewhere in this ocean.
Whitebeard is alive now, but his Devil Fruit powers have disappeared.
Currently, half of its body still resembles a demon, so strictly speaking, it should be considered to be in a half-dead state.
"Kurarararar, consider it a rebirth," Whitebeard laughed. "It signifies that the power of the old era has vanished."
He looked down at his outstretched hands.
He could feel that the Tremor-Tremor Fruit within his body had disappeared.
The ability that had accompanied him on his decades-long conquest of the seas and helped him ascend to the title of the world's strongest was thus stripped away.
I've really learned something new today.
Even though Whitebeard had lived for so many years and experienced countless storms on the sea, he had never heard of anyone being able to do such a thing.
To forcibly steal a Devil Fruit from a user without killing them!
However, Devil Fruits choose their hosts.
"Thinking about it this way, perhaps the Tremor-Tremor Fruit has decided that I am no longer suitable to be its host," Whitebeard said, looking at Luffy. "It has accepted you now."
That's right, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is now with Luffy!
"To be honest, I don't know how it got on me," Luffy said.
Perhaps it was the effect of the seawater and Nika?
At first, he only wanted to expel the power from Whitebeard.
"The ocean is a synonym for miracles; anything can happen there. I've seen too many miracles."
Whitebeard said, "The outcome is good now."
He moved his body, the feeling of being consumed by darkness and losing control of himself was more terrifying than death.
Although he has lost his abilities, his will now belongs to him again.
This is more important than anything else.
"Captain Bucky, the Den Den Mushi is awake!"
Among the prisoners in Impel Down, one of the men who awoke from his coma first exclaimed in surprise.
"woke up?!"
Bucky perked up immediately, picked up the Den Den Mushi, and the previously unconscious image Den Den Mushi in his hand slowly opened its eyes.
The antennae trembled slightly, transmitting the image again.
Bucky frantically aimed the camera at the two people in the center of the battlefield in the distance.
Luffy and Whitebeard.
This angle perfectly captures the entire standoff.
The Sabaody Archipelago, the World Economic Herald headquarters, and people around the world watching the war via broadcast finally saw the images again.
"The picture is back!"
"Are those Straw Hat Boy and Whitebeard?"
What are they saying?
"The white beard looks a little different?"
People held their breath, staring intently at the screen.
On the battlefield, Whitebeard turned his head, his gaze passing over the shattered ice field and landing on the huge golden Buddha statue in the distance.
"Should the war continue, Sengoku period?"
Whitebeard's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable sense of oppression: "Now your navy will have to face the two of us again."
In his words, he had already placed Luffy among the ranks of strong individuals on the same level as himself.
From the start of the war until now, Whitebeard has seen too many incredible powers in Luffy.
This isn't just politeness; it's the truth!
The ability to awaken him from that state and even take away the Tremor-Tremor Fruit demonstrates a level of strength and skill that is enough to make anyone take him seriously.
These words were spoken plainly, but the weight they carried made the hearts of all the sailors who heard them sink.
The Four Emperors' approval!
"What do you mean 'two people'? What about me?" The Golden Lion's dissatisfied voice came from the sky.
He hadn't been able to participate in the battle with the corrupted Whitebeard; he could only fly around on the sidelines, and the ship's rudder on his head was still throbbing with pain.
By the time he realized what had happened, the battle seemed to be over.
“Hey, Newgate, you’re back to normal?” the Golden Lion asked.
"Oh, you're back to normal, thanks to the straw hat." Whitebeard laughed heartily, "I forgot about you."
One sentence almost caused the Golden Lion to turn red.
That old guy definitely did it on purpose.
What do you mean by forgetting him? Is the Golden Lion's presence really that low?
Although it was indeed Garp and Luffy who fought Whitebeard when he turned evil.
Shiki landed slowly, frowning as he examined Whitebeard, and couldn't help but ask, "That dark aura really disappeared, Straw Hat, what did you do?"
Was it absorbed or purified?
This kind of thing can't be explained in just a few words.
Luffy grinned, but instead of answering directly, he looked towards Sengoku.
At this moment, Sengoku's face was extremely grim.
Straw Hat Luffy, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion—it's those three again.
The situation is now worse than before.
Unlike before, Whitebeard is now in incredibly good health, even though he has lost the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. The domineering aura emanating from him is as powerful as the sea, as if he has returned to his prime!
And what about the navy?
Akainu was severely injured by Luffy and Whitebeard, and the gruesome wound on his chest was so deep that the bone was visible. He was being urgently treated by the medics and had clearly lost his ability to fight.
Kizaru and Aokiji still have energy to spare.
Most of the elite lieutenant generals are still alive, only a few giant lieutenant generals have been lost.
Garp?
There's not much hope in that.
Sengoku glanced at his old comrade-in-arms, who was now staring at his grandson with a complicated expression.
He just unleashed almost all of his Conqueror's Haki.
So, in this world, only the situation where Akainu is injured has been achieved?
The absurd thought flashed through Sengoku's mind, and his face darkened further.
Should we continue?
This was a decision that the Warring States period had to make immediately.
If the fighting continues, the navy may pay an even heavier price, and may even lose an entire generation of elite troops here.
If they don't fight and instead compromise with the pirates in front of the whole world, the Navy's prestige will plummet.
"Huh? These guys haven't been destroyed yet."
Luffy suddenly heard the sound of machinery running not far away.
Several enormous, silver-white figures emerged from the ruins, their chests gleaming with yellow light—a sign of accumulating energy.
He's a pacifist!
As a mass-produced weapon of the World Government's scientific forces, it possesses the appearance of Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the laser capabilities of Kizaru.
Their performance in this war can be described as outstanding.
"Hey PX-5, you weren't told to move!"
