Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Get away!"

The thunder falling from the sky forced them to scatter far away. Fortunately for Badgers, Van Oka and others, there were not many thunder and lightning attacking them. Although they were in a mess, they were still able to dodge.

Blackbeard, who was the main target, was not so lucky. He was surrounded by a dense network of lightning. After he dodged the first two lightning bolts, the subsequent lightning bolts still hit him directly.

"what!

It hurts, damn it, it hurts!"

Boom!

“It hurts! It hurts…it hurts!”

Blackbeard, who was struck by lightning, howled in pain. Without a trace of dignity as a strong man, he rolled on the ground in a miserable state, shouting in pain madly, as if this could reduce the pain in his body.

His reaction stunned Drake. Few pirates fighting in the New World dared to say that they had never been injured. Even the top strong ones were bound to lose some parts, and even someone like Yamato was no exception.

Her arms were broken several times while she was growing up. Although Kaido was the one who hurt her the most from beginning to end, this cannot change the fact that she suffered a lot of injuries.

Derek was sure that even if the kids from Ghost Island were injured during training, they wouldn't behave so miserably.

How could such a guy have the courage to challenge Whitebeard's bottom line?

"My impression of you was already very low, and now it has become negative. What right do you have to speak so arrogantly?"

"All of you get out of here, you can't handle this woman right now!"

Pushing away the men around him, Blackbeard climbed up again, panting heavily. He had screamed miserably just now, but he didn't seem to be injured, just with some burnt marks.

Just now, Badgers and others wanted to help him up, but the residual power of Drake's lightning was still there. When these people who were also struck by lightning approached, they instead caused strong static electricity, causing secondary damage to Blackbeard.

“Ahaha…ha…there’s nothing I can do. This is the price. Although the Dark-Dark Fruit is a nature-type fruit, it is different from other nature-type fruits. Not only can it not transform into elements to evade attacks, but it will absorb all attacks instead.

Whether it's a sword, a bullet, or your lightning, the damage they cause will be absorbed by me, and accordingly, the pain I suffer is twice as much as others."

"Is that so? No wonder you don't look like you've been hurt. But is it your habit to talk nonsense with your enemies?"

"Hahahaha, this is my sincerity.

The Beasts Pirates are indeed strong. You are quite capable. Do you really not want to join me? I can reserve a position for you as a top leader of the Blackbeard Pirates."

Until this time, Blackbeard still wanted to recruit Drake, but Drake still had no interest in it.

"I've already said that I'm not attracted to people like you. It would be more practical to trade you with Whitebeard for money.

It doubles the pain. Only a lunatic like you would have such a masochistic tendency."

"Unfortunately, you can't kill me, and this alien fruit has the most brutal ability in history!"

Darkness poured out from Blackbeard's body. Under the influence of the darkness, the damage caused by Drake's attack was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the darkness was still spreading around.

"Run! The captain is going to mess up!"

Watching the darkness in Blackbeard's body begin to spread, Badgers and others began to flee far away, and on the way they had to carry away Poison Q, who looked like he was about to die, and his horse.

"Xiaoju, you should stay away too. This guy... is a bit dangerous."

The Roentgen cat gave Drake a powerful intuition. The hair on her back stood up and her body was sending out a warning.

"Be careful..."

Kikunosuke knew very well that Drake's ability was much stronger than his own. In order not to hold Drake back, he set his sights on other members of the Blackbeard Pirates to prevent them from causing trouble behind his back.

As for the residents who originally lived here, they had already fled when the battle began and were now watching the situation from a distance.

......

Blackbeard didn't care about anyone else, he had complete confidence in his abilities and was showing off his abilities at the moment.

"Hahaha, the so-called darkness is gravity, the power that attracts and devours everything, the infinite gravity that does not let go of a single ray of light! Your lightning cannot escape the swallowing of darkness either! Dark acupoints!"

Darkness enveloped everything around like a river. The boundless darkness formed a greedy swamp. Trees, rocks, houses, metals, everything was twisted and shattered, and then disappeared in the darkness of Blackbeard, leaving only a bare piece of land.

"This is dark gravity, a powerful ability gained at the cost of pain."

The darkness spread to the sky, and the things absorbed by Blackbeard formed a big ball, floating above Drake, as if it would fall down at any time...

Chapter 906: Your ability is ineffective on me!

"Do you really enjoy explaining your abilities to others?"

Drake felt a strong sense of superiority in Blackbeard's tone, and this feeling made her feel familiar. Quinn was like this in the past. When he had a new invention and showed off in front of everyone, he used this tone.

"No, no, no, this is of course a special case. I said, you are worthy of my recruitment, come and become my partner. Isn't the status of a senior cadre much better than one? If you are willing, you can also be the deputy captain."

Blackbeard is not the one who would explain his abilities to everyone. He is showing off his assets in order to attract others to join him. As for the last word "deputy captain", Blackbeard already has other intentions.

He also knew that recruiting others was not something that could be achieved with just a few words, so he demonstrated his abilities and proved that he had the potential to stand at the top of the world.

"Don't look at me with that disgusting look. No matter how much nonsense you talk, I have no interest in you."

Drake didn't care about the ball of ruins above his head, but used his speed to approach Blackbeard. The ruins in the sky also fell towards Drake under Blackbeard's control, but that slow attack couldn't even touch Drake.

The ruins of houses, rocks and other objects hit the ground, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust, but Drake's perspective allowed her to completely ignore the obstruction of the smoke and dust, and her sharp claws flashed with a deadly cold light as she grabbed Blackbeard.

The claw grabbed Blackbeard's abdomen firmly, but the touch felt wrong. It was neither hard like the defense provided by the armament color, nor soft like an ordinary abdomen.

This grab, which was enough to disembowel a person, was like a drop in the ocean and did not achieve the effect Drake expected.

Seeing Blackbeard rolling on the ground in pain again, Drake did not stop like before, but swung his tail and released countless star-like energy blocks at Blackbeard.

"Dark Water!"

Under the attack of high-speed stars, Blackbeard endured the pain and stretched out his right hand. Darkness condensed in the palm of his hand, absorbing all the high-speed stars released by Drake.

"It's useless. Another thing that my dark gravity can absorb is the power of devil fruits! Natural, superhuman, animal, no matter what kind of fruit ability, they will be restrained by me! You should feel it too, right?"

Blackbeard increased the strength of the dark water in his hand, trying to suck Drake in front of him, but although Drake's body shook slightly a few times, he was not sucked in as Blackbeard expected.

"Strange, how could this happen..."

Gravity is part of the expression of the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit. Regardless of whether or not one is a power user, they will be affected by the gravity generated by the Dark-Dark Fruit. The previous houses and stones are evidence of this.

However, due to the devil fruit in their bodies, users with special abilities will feel powerless when facing Blackbeard, and are more likely to be sucked over by him.

But Drake is a pure Pokémon user and there is no such thing as a devil fruit in his body.

The Dark-Dark Fruit can absorb her attacks, but cannot cause any other effects on her body. She is only facing pure gravity, which she can completely resist with her physical strength.

"Thief hahaha, you are really strong. You can actually counter an ability that I am not familiar with."

Blackbeard attributed all this to the fact that he was not proficient enough in his abilities. He was unwilling to believe that what he had been pursuing for many years would be ineffective on people with special abilities. So either he was not proficient enough in the use of his abilities, or Drake was too strong.

Then Blackbeard continued to release the dark water, and came to Drake at a completely different speed from before, grabbing her shoulder directly.

"I caught you, didn't I? This is the true power of the Dark-Dark Fruit. As long as I touch it, the abilities of any ability user will be ineffective.

No matter how powerful the fruit ability is, it is ineffective against me!

You should have felt it this time, your ability is no longer usable...right..."

Blackbeard seemed to have sensed something was wrong. Drake, whom he had captured, was still in the animal-type transformation state.

You should know that the Dark-Dark Fruit has the same effect on other ability users as seawater and seastone. Natural types cannot be transformed into elements, and superhuman types cannot use their own abilities. This is the special feature of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Theoretically, she should have untransformed when he caught Drake.

"I underestimated your skills, but I'll return what I just said to you. Your abilities are ineffective against me!"

Blackbeard's reaction speed was beyond Drake's expectation. There were no weaklings in hand-to-hand combat among the cadres of the Beasts. The fact that he could successfully capture Drake showed that he and Blackbeard had a certain foundation in physical skills. This body was not as bad as she had imagined.

However, his purpose was completely shattered by the "power of God".

Facing a non-Devil Fruit user, his fruit nemesis ability naturally became ineffective, and the next moment, he was forced to let go of Drake.

"Take your dirty hands off me!"

Because of the close proximity, Drake directly activated Crazy Volt, and a powerful electric current enveloped his entire body.

The double pain side effect of the Dark-Dark Fruit brought Blackbeard even greater pain, and the powerful electric current gave Blackbeard a pair of "black wrists".

And Drake also transformed into a beast form. The change of form and the electric current attack forced Blackbeard to let go of his hand. Then flames burned on Drake's sharp teeth, and the hot flaming teeth bit directly into Blackbeard's neck.

Although biting with teeth is a bit ungentle, she doesn't care if it can kill the enemy.

"liberation!"

Blackbeard raised his other arm, and a large number of stones and trees flew out from the darkness in his palm. These were the things he had absorbed through the dark acupuncture points before, and since they were not all discarded, they could be released again in this way.

After forcing Drake back, Blackbeard's face had lost its original calmness.

"Impossible! The Dark-Dark Fruit is the most brutal ability in history, and it is the nemesis of all ability users! How could you ignore the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit?! This is impossible!"

"Heh, this kind of question, someone will tell you when you go to hell."

Arrogance and recklessness are Blackbeard's huge weaknesses. When he thinks he has an advantage, he will appear extremely arrogant. For example, he just showed off his abilities to Drake because he felt he could directly control Drake.

Drake is different. She has no interest in being a battlefield commentator. If you want to know what her abilities are, you can only slowly explore them yourself in battle.

Chapter 907: Alien

After accidentally seeing the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, Blackbeard came up with a special plan in his mind, so he gave up his dignity and begged Whitebeard to let him on board.

Because in his opinion at that time, only by boarding Whitebeard's ship could he increase his possibility of obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit.

After hiding his ambitions for decades, he finally achieved his goal. But at this moment, a person with special abilities ignored his dark gravity and ignored the suppression of the Dark-Dark Fruit on the abilities of other fruits.

Previously, Drake was able to resist gravity, and Blackbeard could attribute it to his lack of proficiency in his abilities, but it was not right that she could still use her abilities after the contact.

To put it in an analogy, the previous situation was equivalent to him eating the rubber fruit but not yet being able to transform into Nika, which was not surprising.

But now he couldn't even get the most basic rubber body, which was something Blackbeard couldn't accept.

If he had not tested his abilities on other people with special abilities during his previous escape, he would have suspected that his decades of hiding had been in vain.

"Is there something different about the mythical beasts... or is this not an ability at all... Hahahaha, I'm more interested in your ability. It's not too late for you to join me now."

Even after the fight became like this, Blackbeard still did not give up on recruiting Drake.

The same was true in his battle with Ace in the original timeline. Before Ace was defeated, he still tried to recruit Ace, wanting to make this powerful fighter like Ace his partner.

On this point, Blackbeard also has his own confidence, believing that no matter what kind of person he is, he will be able to defeat him in the end.

"Thunder Fang Tu!"

Drake no longer wanted to communicate with the arrogant man in front of her. Lightning formed her new claw blades. The violent lightning became extremely sharp after condensing into a solid entity. The sharp lightning spear pierced straight into Blackbeard's chest.

Pfft!

The lightning spear pierced Blackbeard's fat body. Accompanied by the roar of thunder and lightning, Blackbeard screamed again, but at the same time, he also punched Drake.

Ouch!

Drake's body flew backwards, and after landing he took several steps back before he could stabilize himself.

"This guy's fist... is a bit troublesome..."

She rubbed her ribs. Even though her animal-like body was in pain from this blow, it seemed that there was a terrifying power hidden in that funny-looking body.

"Dark Water!"

Blackbeard reached out and grasped the lightning that pierced his body. Under the influence of darkness, Drake's attack was gradually absorbed by the darkness. Except for the sweat on his forehead, there were no signs of injury on Blackbeard's body.

This is also the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit. It doubles the pain felt by the user, but does not double the effect of the attack. Instead, it absorbs the damage so that it does not affect the user's body.

"It's useless. Even if your ability is special, your attack will eventually be swallowed by the darkness. My ability is invincible!"

Blackbeard would rather believe that Drake is very special because of his mythical beast species, or that he is the product of other powers, than to accept that there is something wrong with his ability.

"Oh, the prejudices of a frog in a well are always hilarious. If you can take it, just take it all and show it to me!"

Light began to gather around Drake's mouth, and the destructive death light was quickly taking shape. Like defending, this was a standard skill for most cadres. The stronger the person, the faster they could condense the destructive death light, and the shorter their stiffness afterwards.

At this time, Kaido and Yamato used the death ray instantly, and they would not be paralyzed. Drake was almost there, but the preparation for the attack only took a few seconds.

"No matter how many times you try, it's useless. Be it light or thunder, darkness is the final destination!"

Blackbeard confidently stretched out his right hand. His ability to devour darkness was so strong that he could absorb almost all attacks.

boom!

Peng!

Thunder and darkness alternated, and the battle between Blackbeard and Drake became increasingly intense, accompanied by Blackbeard's screams. Although he was constantly being defeated, he did not suffer any fatal injuries.
