One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

Aaron's body trembled slightly as he felt the eerie attraction emanating from the center of the black smoke.

The black-bearded man's face was contorted with rage, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws: "Make your move, Marine! Let me see if you're just spouting nonsense!"

"As you wish! Break through the air!"

With a crisp "pop," the air between the two shattered, and the thick, night-like smoke swayed.

This immense and unparalleled power, along with this earth-shattering commotion, is indeed no different from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

"Hahaha! It really is the Tremor-Tremor Fruit! That's great!"

Blackbeard was overjoyed, feeling that the ability was already his for the taking.

"Kid, just accept your fate and I'll give you a quick death!"

"Blackbeard, you don't actually think you've got this in the bag, do you?"

"Of course! Isn't it obvious? Hahaha!"

Blackbeard's fists were indeed extremely heavy; it was unclear how he had trained them.

After exchanging a few punches, Aaron felt a sharp pain in his arm. This intensity was comparable to practicing against a mountain for half an hour.

"My Dark-Dark Fruit can not only absorb the body of a Devil Fruit user, but also nullify their abilities! Let me show you!"

The black-bearded man grabbed Aaron's left wrist with his large hand, about to gloat, when he saw a mocking smile appear on Aaron's lips.

A pillar of fire instantly erupted from Aaron's arm and struck the black-bearded man's exposed chest.

A burnt smell filled the air; the black-bearded man's chest hair was burned off, and countless blisters covered his skin.

"It hurts! It hurts!"

Blackbeard took a few steps back, rolling on the ground in pain.

The flames looked very similar to the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit. Blackbeard could still see Aaron's arm, which remained unchanged, through the flames and had not yet been transformed into an element.

Elementalization is also one of the abilities that Saint Seiya can master after awakening their sixth sense.

Blackbeard scrambled to his feet, panting heavily. "Impossible! You couldn't possibly have two Devil Fruit abilities! Could it be a racial talent?"

Aaron said, "Think what you want."

The black-bearded man grinned slyly: "Bages, Lafayette, make your move!"

"Hahaha! I didn't get enough of that earlier, let's continue!"

"Roar!" A high-pitched dragon roar rang out, and Fombardy's body rapidly expanded, transforming into a hundred-meter-long giant dragon that enveloped Lark, Bernard, and more than twenty marines.

"dragon?!"

Blackbeard's eyes widened. "Lafayette wasn't lying after all, it really is a dragon! This ability is pretty good, I'll take it! Hahahaha!"

"Elbow Strike Wave!"

With pirates all around, Fombard had no scruples. He opened his dragon mouth and spewed out a torrent of hot breath.

The surrounding area was instantly engulfed in flames.

Countless pirates leaped and struggled in the sea of ​​fire for a while before collapsing to the ground and becoming charred corpses.

"Dark acupoints!"

Black smoke billowed from the ground and spread outwards, quickly extinguishing the flames wherever it passed.

These men were part of his future power base, and Blackbeard was unwilling to have so many of his men wiped out here.

Taking advantage of this break, Aaron put on the Phoenix Cloth.

Laffitte's eyes widened as he pointed at Aaron and said, "Admiral! During the Marineford War, it was he who shouted the order, which stopped Garp from taking the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power!"

The man with the black beard said, "That's right, I remember now too. Hmph, kid, you got pregnant with my secret, and now you're interfering in my affairs. You really have some nerve!"

Aaron said coldly, "I'll spare your dog's life for a few more days, but don't get too arrogant."

"Hahaha! You think you're a top-tier fighter just because you got the Tremor-Tremor Fruit? Kid, you're still a long way off!"

Blackbeard activates his Dark-Dark Fruit ability: "Dark Water!"

Aaron's body remained completely still this time.

"Huh? That's impossible!"

The black-bearded man strode forward, getting even closer. This time, Aaron's body swayed slightly.

Blackbeard was relieved. The Dark-Dark Fruit's power was still working, so he felt much more at ease about the upcoming battle.

Looking at the pink dragon next to him, Blackbeard suddenly felt that letting Marco and the others go earlier wasn't such a bad thing after all.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Mythical Zoan-type Dragon Fruit are naturally far superior to the Phoenix Fruit and the Glitter-Glitter Fruit.

Bages, Shiliu, and the others also began to get excited.

After the two top-tier Devil Fruit users seize the fruit, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit will undoubtedly belong to Blackbeard, and this Mythical Zoan fruit, which has the same power as Kaido's, will naturally be theirs.

These men charged toward Finbdi like madmen, shouting wildly.

"Bang! Bang!"

Van Augur had already fired, the bullet hitting the dragon scales and leaving only faint white marks.

Finbuddy, still in pain, cried out, "Get on my back! I can't handle so many people!"

Lark jumped up first, followed closely by Bernard and the remaining marines, who climbed up using both hands and feet.

Finbuddy then took flight, leaving only a few people below looking up in awe.

Yun Que asked, "Will it be alright to leave Senior Aaron there alone?"

"Don't worry," said Finbdi. "The boss won't suffer any major losses. Do you remember what he said? He won't die."

Lark was still worried: "Those are the vicious Blackbeard gang; they just beat Marco and his men!"

"Don't worry," Finbdi said, "I'll provide air support at any time. Just watch how the boss performs."

With no worries left, Aaron's inner universe began to ignite, his aura rapidly increased, and transparent ripples appeared in the surrounding air, spreading outwards in concentric circles.

Lafayette said, "Admiral, his abilities are strange, and I've never seen his armor before. Just to be safe, let's attack together!"

The man with the black beard chuckled, "Alright, let's all come at him together!"

"Hahaha! Hadouken!"

Burgess struck first, throwing a punch.

Aaron neither dodged nor avoided the attack; his right fist was already meeting the attack head-on.

With a loud "bang," Bages' hand trembled as his finger bones broke.

Shiryu's blade was already close in, and Catherine Demi attacked from the other side.

Aaron raised his hand and grabbed Shiliu's knife.

Just as Shiliu was about to rejoice, he realized that Aaron was wearing gloves and had not been injured at all.

His knife seemed to disobey his will, turning to stab Katrin Deme.

"Hey, Shiryu, watch out!"

Katrin Demi's attack was blocked by Shiryu, which annoyed her.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Van Augur fired three shots, the three bullets flying in succession toward Aaron's forehead, throat, and heart.

Aaron swayed slightly, dodging two bullets.

He raised his hand again and grabbed the third bullet.

Van Augur, exasperated, snapped at PoisonQ, "Try your apple bomb."

Poison Q coughed twice and threw a basket off the horse, sending a dozen or so apples rolling to the ground.

After several loud explosions, a cloud of bluish-green smoke billowed out; clearly, this smoke was toxic.
