Blackbeard: Pretty Girl Transformation
The people still fighting on the other battlefields were also startled by Teach's screams, because the screams contained too many emotions: despair, collapse, pessimism, negativity, decadence, heartbreak, anger, hatred, and resentment. It was hard to imagine that a scream could contain so many emotions. It was simply a collection of the dark energy of this world. The respect for Teach in everyone's hearts could be said to have arisen spontaneously.
The underlings following Teach were also startled, thinking to themselves, "Big Brother Teach is terrifying in this state. Could this be the price of obtaining the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, turning people into a collection of negative emotions?"
"Big Brother Teach, what's wrong?" they asked cautiously.
At this point, Teach had long since abandoned any pretense of maintaining his public image, ignoring their concern and muttering to himself, "Impossible, impossible, how could such a thing happen? It must be an illusion. Yes, it seems that because of the immense pressure I was under and my excessive craving for the Dark-Dark Fruit, I had these wild thoughts when I obtained it, leading to this hallucination. Yes, that must be it!"
Marco couldn't help but glance at him sideways. In his impression, Teach had always been a warm, gentle, and unambitious good-natured person. After Teach revealed his hidden strength, Marco thought he was extremely shrewd and good at hiding his true emotions. He never expected that Teach would have such a hysterical and crazy day.
"Big Brother Teach, is there something wrong with your Devil Fruit Ability? Is it not as powerful as you imagined?" One of the henchmen stepped forward, gritting his teeth as he said, "How about you test your Devil Fruit Ability on me, Big Brother Teach?"
"Yeah, what kind of ability is it? We'll find out by trying it out, won't we?" Teach seemed to wake up from Nightmare, looking at his underling with an extremely unfamiliar gaze, a stark contrast to Teach his underling remembered. That icy gaze even sent chills down his spine. "I remember you seem to be Devil Fruit User, right? That's perfect. Witness the terror of the Dark-Dark Fruit, Dark Water!"
"Teach, stop!" Seeing that Teach had actually attacked his own people, Marco was furious. He instantly transformed into Phoenix Form, with blue flames swirling around him, ready to seize the opportunity to save his teammates.
"Ah..." Seeing Teach's eyes, devoid of any emotion, the younger brother who had mustered the courage to step forward panicked a little. Big Brother Teach in this state was really too terrifying. He couldn't suppress his fear and screamed out.
The others belatedly realized that Big Brother Teach's state was indeed a bit off; he seemed to be going all out and not holding back at all.
"Big Brother Teach, spare him... hiss!"
"Wow... such a powerful skill! As expected of Big Brother Teach, to be able to develop such a powerful ability right after obtaining the Devil Fruit is truly terrifying!" One of the henchmen transformed into Sanji, his nose gushing blood uncontrollably as he entered a weakened state.
"Too... too erotic! Just how much of a repressed pervert is Big Brother Teach?!"
"Ahem... Well, didn't we discuss this before? If something this incredible really happens, shouldn't we let the brothers have some fun first?"
The younger brother, who had been so frightened that he had his eyes tightly shut, touched his body and found that it was still intact and no parts were missing. He breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew Big Brother Teach was just kidding me. Wait, something's not right. Nothing's missing, but why do I feel like there's something extra in my body?"
He opened his eyes in confusion and was startled to find the scene in front of him a complete mess.
Some people collapsed weakly on the ground, with a long trail of blood in front of them; others had calm and clear faces, their eyes bright, as if they were in a state of sagehood, free from desires and wants; even more terrifying, some people were staring at them with wide eyes, drooling on the ground without them even realizing it.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" He had a bad feeling about this.
"Well, just look down and you'll see..." someone replied with a strange expression.
He readily lowered his head and realized that he had become so fat that he couldn't even see his toes. After a moment, he understood and his expression froze.
"How the hell did I become Cross-dresser?" He looked flustered, rummaged through his pants, and only after finding his thing was still there did he breathe a sigh of relief. He hurriedly looked at Teach, "Teach, big..."
He then realized that his Big Brother Teach had been so spirited before, was now ashen-faced, his pupils unfocused, like a salted fish that had lost its ideals, and no matter how he called out to him, there was no response.
It must be said that someone like Teach, who is already a top-tier fighter, develops his Devil Fruit abilities much faster than ordinary people after obtaining it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to develop a series of incredibly powerful abilities so soon after obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit.
The Devil Fruit Foxfire Kin'emon needed leaves to transform into was quickly surpassed by Teach in his hands, even going beyond the stage of needing materials to cast the spell. It went a step further on the transformation itself, completing half of Roy's conjecture about the Disguise-Disguise Fruit.
Of course, this is definitely not good news for Teach.
In fact, this was the first time Teach had ever known that there was such a useless Devil Fruit in the world. Not to mention compared to the Dark-Dark Fruit he had long coveted, any random Devil Fruit in the world was far superior to it. Yet, this useless fruit had still caused him to pay an extremely heavy price.
His heart was bleeding!
Thinking of this, Teach felt his anger burn even more fiercely, and his pent-up rage suddenly erupted, aggravating his unhealed injuries. He then fainted.
Those who witnessed this scene gasped in shock. Not to mention a top-tier powerhouse like Teach, even they felt that the purpose of this fruit was probably just to trick people, as it was ridiculously weak.
Even a ruthless person like Teach was so angry that he fainted, which shows how much of a blow this incident had to him. Putting yourself in his shoes, it's not entirely impossible that he was so devastated that he could never recover.
"Gulp..." Someone swallowed hard, muttering to themselves, "The trigger for this earth-shattering war wasn't the Dark-Dark Fruit, but a useless fruit whose name I don't even know? Is this some kind of joke?"
"There's no reason for this. I've seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. The color and pattern of the Dark-Dark Fruit are exactly the same as that fruit. Could it have been switched out along the way?"
"Idiot, if it had been switched, wouldn't that black powerhouse have noticed? If you ask me, perhaps the shape of this unknown Devil Fruit is just very similar to the Dark-Dark Fruit."
"Tsk tsk, that Whitebeard Pirates member is really pathetic. He spent so much effort and resources, only to get a useless Devil Fruit. If it were me, I'd probably want to die!"
