I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Thick, black smoke billowed from Lox's body, and the dense darkness enveloped him, causing his tangled black hair to burn like flames.

Sig, on the other hand, was surrounded by jet-black flames, which lurked behind him, with a dragon-shaped phantom appearing, confronting Lox from afar.

Locus glanced sideways at the ground, where the remaining darkness and flames merged and gradually dissolved into one another, and suddenly realized:

"So, this is your ability."

"No wonder you were able to fool me when we first met on Beehive Island 12 years ago."

Just now, Locke made a sudden move halfway through his sentence, and then quickly withdrew the darkness that had spread out, all to test Sieg.

Twelve years ago, Sig suddenly appeared on Beehive Island and blocked a blow from Rocks with an unknown technique.

This incident has haunted Lox to this day.

Only today did he realize why.

Sigurd's jet-black flames and the darkness formed by the Dark-Dark Fruit are very similar in appearance; both are a mass of black.

When the flames collided with the darkness of the Dark-Dark Fruit, even he, the user of the ability, could hardly distinguish which one was his own power.

It was that probing just now that made Rocks realize Wang Sig's true abilities.

Sigurd's jet-black flames can melt away along with the Dark-Dark Fruit. This peculiar "annihilation" ability is visually very similar to the Dark-Dark Fruit's "devouring" ability.

"What a deep scheme, my first mate."

Lox looked at Sieg without expression, then slowly smiled.

"Wang Xige, you have such similar abilities to mine, and you've kept it a secret from me for 12 years..."

As he spoke, thick black smoke billowed from Lox's body, and his eyes shone with a dark light, as if flames were burning within them, emitting a terrifying glow.

No two Devil Fruits are exactly alike in the world.

However, it is not uncommon for different Devil Fruits to develop similar techniques.

Perona's Spirit-Spirit Fruit and Revive-Revive Fruit both allow the soul to leave the body, and Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit can also be developed into a similar effect to the Spring-Spring Fruit's Gear Fourth.

But the resemblance was so extreme, yet it was kept secret from Lox all along...

This sent a chill down Sieg's spine.

Given the current situation, he really couldn't explain it.

This has nothing to do with whether Sigurd is a user of the Face Fruit.

"Wang Xige? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Lox asked in a cold voice."

"never mind."

Rocks shook his head.

"I definitely prefer to let my fists do the talking!"

He crouched down slightly, his hands gently touching the ground. Centered on his hands, a dense darkness rapidly expanded at a visible speed.

"Dark acupoints!"

A huge dark vortex suddenly appeared on the ground. At this moment, Lox seemed to have transformed into a pitch-black black hole, engulfing a large area of ​​the surrounding land.

Click, click!

Huge cracks kept appearing on the ground. Faced with this rapidly expanding dark vortex, everything from soil and rocks to trees was being sucked into the vortex by the terrifying suction!

Boom...

A large section of the ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and a terrifying suction force swept across most of the island in an instant!

In an instant, darkness descended, dark clouds shrouded the earth, the entire island trembled, and the light dimmed instantly.

Even the pirates far away on the coast sensed this terrifying power fluctuation.

"Captain Rocks is serious!"

"This is no small matter!"

"Is he about to engage in a battle with the first mate?"

The pirates began to murmur amongst themselves.

Among them, someone jokingly asked Cilent:

"Hey, Silent, shall we go over and take a look?"

"A battle of this magnitude is extremely rare on the entire ocean. It would be such a shame if we could only watch from afar."

Silent gave the pirate who spoke a cold glance:

"Didn't you hear what Captain Rocks said?"

"No one, no matter who, should interfere with their conversation."

The pirates looked at each other, feeling disappointed.

But at that moment, a tall man pushed past them and squeezed to the front of the crowd.

It was Whitebeard.

He looked directly at Silent and finally spoke:

"Let me pass."

"The pirate captain and first mate are locked in fierce combat, while the rest of the crew are just waiting here in the distance. This is outrageous!"

"I'm going to stop their fight."

As he spoke, Whitebeard clenched his fist, a pale white ball of light gathering on it, and then he unleashed a powerful punch!

Click, click!

The sound of shattering glass echoed in the air, and invisible shockwaves spread rapidly through the air towards the transparent wall of silence, causing the ground to tremble. The invisible wall of silence itself trembled, developing glass-like cracks, and was on the verge of breaking.

He had no intention of persuading Serente at all.

If Serent wouldn't leave, he would just push his way through.

However, Silent just stood there watching coldly. He spread his arms, and an invisible soundproof wall formed in front of him, blocking Whitebeard's way.

"Absolute silence!"

The sound of air cracking stopped abruptly.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power to easily shake the earth vanished without a trace before Serent.

"Hmm?" This unusual situation made Whitebeard pause slightly.

Chapter 739 Battle Against Rocks

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit is known as the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, possessing the power to easily unleash earthquakes and tsunamis, comparable to natural disasters.

But before the invisible wall erected by Serent, it vanished without a trace.

This left Whitebeard stunned for quite a while.

"This is a matter of restraint between Devil Fruits," Judge explained with a gleam in his eyes.

"The basic application of the Silence Fruit is to create an invisible wall that isolates sound. And the essence of sound is sound waves produced by the vibration of objects."

"Whether it's sound waves or earthquake waves caused by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, they are essentially a type of vibration."

The power of Devil Fruits can be continuously developed.

The Paw Paw Fruit can be developed from things like bouncing off air to things like bouncing off fatigue and pain.

The Float Fruit, in essence, does not float, but rather varies its weight between 1 kilogram and 10000 kilograms.

The most basic external manifestation of the Silence Fruit is the elimination of sound.

But Silent Death's performance at this moment far exceeded this scope.

Judge exclaimed, "And Serent's development of the Silence-Silence Fruit's power has gone from eliminating sound waves to the point where it can even eliminate earthquake waves."

"If that's the case, then his ability is far more than just eliminating sound. He can probably eliminate any invisible vibration wave with the power of the Silence-Silence Fruit."

"Because the essence of vibration is the transfer of energy within a medium!"

"On the surface, it's about eliminating vibrations, but the true nature of the Silence-Silence Fruit's power might be the addition of a medium that prevents energy transfer..."

Judge was speaking when he saw Serente give him a cold look.

Silent snapped his fingers, and an invisible silencing wall opened, enveloping Judge completely, preventing his voice from being heard.

"Is that so? Judge revealed the secret of the Serent Fruit of Silence and Silence, and was silenced by him."

Whitebeard glanced at Serent in silence, but felt little fear.

Even without using the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he is still one of the strongest people on the sea, and he is not afraid of facing Serent at all.

Whitebeard picked up his naginata, Murakumogiri, and strode towards Serent.

The power of the Silence-Silence Fruit is an invisible wall, without any physical form, which was completely ineffective against Whitebeard's direct assault.

However, Serent did not let Whitebeard do as he pleased.

He glanced around, then spread his arms, and another soundproof wall quickly opened, completely enveloping the white-bearded man and the two of them.

After doing all this, Serent raised his head and looked at Whitebeard.

"Whitebeard, even if you go there, it will be meaningless."

"You don't really think that Captain Rocks got angry and attacked because he didn't know about King Sieg's Devil Fruit ability, do you?"

Silent's tone made Whitebeard stop in his tracks. He looked down at Silent and frowned.

What are you trying to say?

Silent snorted coldly.

"What Wang Xige's Devil Fruit is called and what its principle is are completely irrelevant!"

“I overheard your conversation with Wang Sig before we arrived at Saien Island, and I told Captain Lockes.”

"Captain Rocks personally requested Vegapunk, but King Sieg disobeyed and brought back a young man who was not even twenty years old..."
