Blackbeard: I Finally Obtained the Dark...

In fact, anyone with even a little Observation Haki could sense the enormous, terrifyingly concentrated blood energy on the battlefield where the Whitebeard Pirates. This shouldn't exist on a human at all. Some people even wondered if this black guy was actually Sea Kings who had eaten the Human-Human Fruit.

Marco also took a deep breath. He had underestimated Teach's determination. This was truly a desperate gamble!

Gild Tesoro and Doflamingo were also aware of their own limitations. Although they were top-tier fighters on the sea, they were still somewhat inferior to Teach. Faced with a monster of this caliber's desperate attack, they would be crippled even if they didn't die.

The next moment, Doflamingo's expression relaxed, while Gild Tesoro's expression changed drastically. He found himself locked onto by Teach's Observation Haki, as if he would be found Kakuzu.

"Damn it, why is this bastard targeting me? Shouldn't people pick on the weakest one?"

Gild Tesoro's strength is similar to Doflamingo's, but on this Golden City, his Gold-Gold Fruit can undoubtedly exert its greatest effect, making him a notch above Doflamingo.

When facing danger, you don't need to run very fast, just half a step faster than your teammates. Shouldn't this be the eternal truth of the law of the jungle for humanity? How come it's different for him?

Gild Tesoro expressed his grievances, wondering if it was because this black man resented the rich?

But things don't go according to his will.

Teach's blood energy surged like a rainbow, like a black meteor streaking across the sky, carrying an unparalleled and unstoppable momentum. With a single punch, he pierced through the five layers of golden Rashomon that the Gild Tesoro had forged at the last moment, smashing the golden giant to the ground, piercing through the entire Golden Ship, and plunging directly into the sea.

As Devil Fruit User, the fate of falling into the sea goes without saying, and Teach's end was no better. Blood gushed from his body, and he was like a deflated doll, on the verge of death. The forces that were locked in a stalemate with the Whitebeard Pirates were all on edge, their Adam's apples bobbing as they thought, "This guy is a real ruthless bastard!"

Several other battlefields that were originally in a daze because of the scene in the sky were also shocked by Teach's decisive blow. Everyone was a little frightened. "Are they really playing such a big game? First the nightmare, then the Golden Emperor, and then this nigger. Will the pattern of the sea, which has not changed for more than ten years, change suddenly today?"

From the Nightmare's demise to the Gild Tesoro's fall into the sea, only a few seconds passed. In the blink of an eye, everyone couldn't help but marvel at how quickly the world had changed.

Teach, spitting blood as he laughed, addressed the forces locked in a stalemate with the Whitebeard Pirates, "Zehahaha, you bastards! I've already killed the Gild Tesoro, and his Golden Treasury is now ownerless. Don't you want to get it? That's 500 billion Beli!"

Teach's targeting of Gild Tesoro instead of Doflamingo was clearly an attempt to divert attention from the problem.

As soon as Teach finished speaking, the breathing in the room became heavier. The red and green lights reflected each other in their eyes. If it were nighttime, people would probably think it was a monster's lair.

Indeed, for those ambitious leaders, the Dark-Dark Fruit might be their ultimate pursuit, but for most people present, the visible Beli is far more reliable than the intangible Devil Fruit. Moreover, the difficulty of plundering treasure from an unguarded vault and seizing the Dark-Dark Fruit from the Whitebeard Pirates are simply not on the same level.

500 billion Beli, if converted into Devil Fruit, is almost equivalent to 5,000 Devil Fruit. Although it's possible to collect even 500 Devil Fruit in the world, as long as people have this concept, that's enough.

In their minds, even if they couldn't get meat, they could at least have some soup. Taking 1 billion Beli out of 500 billion Beli wouldn't be too much to ask, and if they lowered their expectations a bit, they should at least get 500 million Beli.

Boom!

The crowd surged forward instantly, like locusts swarming across the land. They even began to fight each other as they moved forward. Driven by money and desire, they all turned into ferocious demons, as if anyone who stood in their way was an irreconcilable enemy. Their frenzied behavior made even Marco's scalp tingle.

"Phew, finally we're free!" Marco breathed a sigh of relief. Without Jozu as their meat shield, they were already close to their limit. If things continued like this, they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

"Now... there should only be the two of them left..." The Whitebeard Pirates focused their attention on Hawkeye and Doflamingo.

Hawkeye calmly continued to slash at Jozu, as if everything outside was irrelevant to him. He wasn't after the Dark-Dark Fruit, so even if that group of people ran away, it wouldn't affect him much. Moreover, with his strength, he wasn't afraid to face the half-crippled Whitebeard Pirates.

Doflamingo spread his hands, indicating that he would no longer interfere in the fight, and then his figure floated backward.

Marco had no intention of pursuing them. They were already at their limit, and if they were to face Doflamingo, casualties and sacrifices would be inevitable.

Teach truly lives up to his reputation as a monster with three hearts. Even when severely injured and on the verge of death, as long as he isn't instantly killed, he can quickly stabilize and calm his injuries.

"Hahaha, I finally got it! The Dark-Dark Fruit, what beautiful patterns, how..." Teach felt a little strange. The moment Gild Tesoro opened the treasure chest to show it off, he had already confirmed that the color and the patterns were definitely the Dark-Dark Fruit marked in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. He was certain of that. But when he actually held the fruit in his hand, he felt that the aura of this "Dark-Dark Fruit" was somewhat elusive, and there was something strange about it.

"Big Brother Teach, hurry up and eat it! Let us see just how terrifying the Dark-Dark Fruit, known as the most dangerous Devil Fruit ability in history, really is!"

"Yes, Big Brother Teach, let us witness the power of this fruit!"

The members of the First and Third Divisions cheered and egged them on. Although they were exhausted after the battle, they were very curious about the Dark-Dark Fruit ability that had sparked this earth-shattering war.

"Hahaha, this Dark-Dark Fruit was obtained for me by the blood and sweat of all my brothers! I will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of my life!" It has to be said that Teach's acting skills have reached a level of perfection. In Roy's previous life, he would definitely be a rising star. Even Marco, who had already begun to have doubts, was conflicted. Could it be that he was wrong?

After pondering for a moment, Teach realized that his previous idea was too foolish. He had never actually seen the Dark-Dark Fruit, so how could he possibly sense something was wrong? It must be his imagination.

"It seems that the decades of waiting and the approaching harvest season have made me a little restless."

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Teach stopped hesitating and swallowed the Dark-Dark Fruit whole with his gaping maw.

Perhaps because the psychological satisfaction outweighed the physical pain, Teach actually found this shit-like Devil Fruit incredibly sweet.

"Hahaha, I've finally obtained the Dark... No, how could this be? This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be!!!"
