Teach's Strength! The Third Fruit! Seize

Not long after, Teach returned to the Calamity City aboard the Sky Battleship.

This time he received a very grand reception; almost all the monsters living in the Calamity City came out in force.

Everyone wanted to see what this unprecedented dual Devil Fruit User was all about.

On the top deck, when Teach stepped off the massive warship, he was truly taken aback by the sight before him.

"Hehehe! Everyone's here? This is truly an honor!"

Everyone is very curious.

Roa chuckled and said, "Just what does an unprecedented dual Devil Fruit User look like!"

"So, did he really eat the second Devil Fruit?"

Kaido, impatient, asked directly.

"That's right!"

Teach's lips curled into a smile as he raised his right hand. In the next instant, his entire hand was enveloped in black smoke, which billowed up and formed a thick column of smoke that gave off an eerie and ominous feeling.

"Whoa!"

Katakuri out a strange sigh.

He's truly an unprecedented Devil Fruit User!

"Mother, Mother! This is so much fun!"

Charlotte Linlin stared intently at Teach, her eyes filled with a strange light, and drool was even dripping from the corner of her mouth.

Teach felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively took a step back.

He knew perfectly well what Charlotte Linlin was thinking.

Who wants to have a child with a dead old woman?!

"Alright!"

Golden Lion was also sizing up Teach, the former captain's son. He smirked, "Come on, let me see just how powerful this unprecedented dual Devil Fruit User truly is!"

"Let me!"

Bullet, the chief instructor of the Calamity Company and Roa's strongest spear, stepped forward. "Come on, Teach, let me see what kind of power you possess now that you've gained a second ability!"

"Thief! Hahahaha!"

Teach instantly broke into an excited smile. "I couldn't be happier, Bullet!"

I've wanted to teach this bastard a lesson for ages; he's beaten me up way too many times over the years!

But.

"No."

Roa smiled and said, "Loki, come here."

The enemy of darkness must be the sun, that's what makes it work.

"Huh? Me?"

Loki, who was engrossed in watching the show, was suddenly called by name and instinctively paused for a moment.

Then he grinned and said, "Alright! Let me, the great one, beat this Teach!"

Since Roa had spoken, Bullet and Teach naturally had no objections.

Soon enough, on the top deck of the Calamity City, Teach and Loki were already in position, ready to fight.

"Hahaha, Teach! Don't expect me to go easy on you!"

Loki carried the enormous iron hammer, a relaxed smile on his face.

After eating the Rubber Fruit, he has indeed widened the gap in strength between himself and his former good friend Teach.

"Hahaha! Loki, don't be scared by the power I just gained!"

Teach's body swelled up to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a ferocious orc with three heads.

Compared to more than a year ago, this transformation is much larger, stronger, and closer to a beast form.

Black flames, like ribbons, clung to his body!

During the year or so that Teach accompanied Roa in training his Armament Haki and Observation Haki, Teach had already Awakening the Cerberus Fruit!

Then, thick black smoke rose from his body, forming a huge column of smoke that shot straight into the sky.

"Hahaha! Come on, Loki!!"

Teach burst into laughter, and black flames and black mist surged up at the same time, making him look like a demon god who had broken free from hell.

Even a monster like Kaido the Golden Lion couldn't help but become serious at this moment.

After Awakening his Teach powers, Teach's strength was already close to Abel's. Now, having obtained a second Devil Fruit ability, what about him?

"Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Loki was truly impolite, immediately taking a deep breath.

His massive size created a vortex in the air with just a breath, instantly swallowing a large amount of air into his stomach.

Then the Life Return was activated, and the air inside the abdomen was instantly injected into the muscles.

Loki's body visibly swelled up.

Then, Armament Haki enveloped his entire body.

Loki, who was already enormous, transformed into a colossal creature over a hundred meters tall.

"Here he comes! Teach!!"

Loki's legs contracted, and in the next instant, an incredibly powerful elasticity erupted, propelling his mountain-sized body through the air like a black Inazuma bolt.

"Rubber Hammer!!"

Thunder roared from the black, heavy hammer, filling the air with a burnt smell, as the massive warhammer crashed down.

"Thief, hahaha!!"

Teach burst into laughter, raising his right hand high.

The pitch-black fog and the pitch-black flames merged together in that instant.

Then, through willpower, he manipulates the two-color Haki to infuse it in.

A hideous, twisted, and ominous black substance coalesced and took shape.

Teach hurled the black mass at Loki's hammer, as if throwing out a writhing abyss!

Boom!!

The moment the warhammer collided with the black substance, a violent explosion erupted, and a raging wind spread in all directions, threatening to destroy everything on the top deck.

"Hehehe! That's really good!"

Roa Ya laughed heartily.

Their attacks were essentially evenly matched, a true contest of strength.

Redfield, watching the game, looked on with a hint of admiration; yet another kid had already left him behind.

"This is never going to end!"

Loki laughed and continued to smash down with his hammer.

But at that moment, Teach grinned and stretched out her left hand, "Dark Water!"

"Forehead!!"

Loki, who was swinging his warhammer almost frantically, suddenly froze. His massive body was pulled by an invisible force and plummeted straight down.

"What?"

Loki couldn't understand it.

What is this?

What has captured me?

Teach laughed heartily and leaped up to meet Loki.

After Awakening, his speed became astonishing. Almost instantly, he was close to Loki, and in the two-way rush, Teach's left hand landed directly on Loki's chest.

"Wow!!"

Loki let out a scream.

Blood began to seep from all over his body instantly, and streams of energy escaped from his pores.

"What!!"

The onlookers were all stunned.

What's going on?

"Tsk tsk."

Roa clicked his tongue in astonishment, "It's a relationship of restraint."

After being touched by Teach, Loki's Rubber Fruit powers disappeared, and he was no longer made of strong rubber. Therefore, the air injected into his muscles would cause him a lot of trouble.

"Hehehehe! Loki, did you see that?!"

Teach laughed loudly.

But before he could finish laughing, a huge fist wrapped in two-colored Haki struck from the side.

Wow!

Teach was sent flying by a single punch, crashing heavily to the ground.

"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

Like a child who had just been spanked, Teach rolled around on the ground.

Roa chuckled softly.

The Whitebeard uncle is absolutely right, Teach. Your biggest weakness is that you're easily carried away by success.

"What... what's going on?"

Katakuri looked at Loki was covered in blood, with some difficulty in understanding.

"The Dark-Dark Fruit is the bane of all Devil Fruit users."

Professional spectator Roa dutifully explained, "Darkness attracts all ability users, and those who come into contact with Teach will temporarily lose their abilities."

"What?"

Even Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "There really is such an unreasonable Devil Fruit?"

"That's not all."

Roa looked at Teach, who had stopped rolling and was slowly standing up, and smiled, saying, "Although he can't transform into an element like other Logia users, the Dark-Dark Devil Fruit User can absorb damage, regardless of whether he uses Haki or not."

"The only downside is that the user will suffer twice the pain."

"Hahaha! Boss was right!"

Despite getting a brutal punch from Loki, Teach was completely unharmed. "It hurt like hell, but it was totally worth it, right!"

"Moreover, the Lineage Factor I chose to enhance is endurance! Hahaha! As long as my stamina doesn't run out, I can continuously absorb damage!"

"You bastard! How dare you scheme against me!"

Loki's chest heaved violently, his eyes shifting between light and shadow.

This bastard's ability seems to really counter him!

The power of the Rubber Fruit will be suppressed as long as he touches it.

Now I can't just inject air into my body anymore, so I'll switch to Gear Fourth.

Otherwise, even if you use Haki to strike from a distance, there's no guarantee that Teach's fist won't hit you!

Since that's the case.

Gear Second!

Loki roared.

Blood flow accelerated instantly, skin began to turn red, and steam rose from the body's surface.

If you simply accelerate the blood flow, even if the ability is removed, you can slow it down instantly by Life Return!

Shave!

Loki's massive body vanished instantly, leaving only a streak of lightning across the sky.

Loki's Lineage Factor enhancement ability is the same as Abel's, which is speed.

Not only has his movement speed increased significantly, but his reaction speed has also increased dramatically. In addition, with the Life Return, even against an agile powerhouse like Shanks, Loki will no longer be at a disadvantage.

"Hahaha! Speed is useless against me!"

Teach laughed and leaped into the air, simultaneously stretching out his left hand again, "Dark Water!"

As the black mist spread, Loki, who had arrived like lightning, was captured once more. Although his speed did not decrease in the slightest, his body did indeed freeze briefly.

However.

"Life Return!"

Willpower instantly forced his stiff body to move, and the huge iron hammer slammed down on Teach without mercy.

"Thief! Hahahaha!"

Teach wasn't surprised; it would be strange if Loki could be defeated so easily!

The dark substance collided with the warhammer once more.

Boom!!

The roar continued.

However, without the support of Gear Fourth, Loki was already at a disadvantage when facing Teach's Devil Fruit fusion technique with only Gear Second, and was staggered backward by the blow.

"Hahaha! Now, I'm stronger!"

Teach burst into laughter again, completely carried away by his triumph.

Roa was not surprised.

This Teach is not the same Teach from the original work who wasted decades in the Whitebeard Pirates.

Under Bullet's rigorous training, his abilities, physical skills, and Haki were honed to an astonishing level, making him a true powerhouse with no weaknesses in any aspect.

Even if Loki, a melee monster, was pulled over by the Dark Water, Teach was not intimidated at all.

Both Golden Lion and Kaido, who were watching the battle, couldn't help but frown.

It has to be said, he truly lives up to his reputation as the son of that bastard Rocks.

After consuming the second Devil Fruit, his strength was in no way inferior to theirs.

Even--

Kaido snorted coldly.

If his powers are removed, he might not perform as well as Loki when facing Teach again.

However, unlike Loki, his powers will not cause him any harm even if they are deactivated.

It doesn't matter for Golden Lion, since his fighting power doesn't rely on Devil Fruit abilities.

"Alright, that's enough for now."

As the two were engaged in a fierce fight, Roa interrupted them.

"Boss!"

Some of Loki's years of hardship were indignant. "I haven't lost yet!"

"Hahaha!"

Teach laughed triumphantly, "Isn't the result obvious!"

"Loki, if you're not satisfied, then become stronger."

"I'm laughing, "Roa said.

He certainly had high hopes for Loki.

If the Rubber Fruit can Awakening, then what is the Dark-Dark Fruit?

"Damn it!!"

Loki was practically gritting his teeth.

"Thief! Hahahaha!"

Teach laughed triumphantly.

Now, he fears no one except Boss and Imu!

"Good."

Roa nodded approvingly.

Even disregarding the Dark-Dark Fruit's advantage over Devil Fruit users, Teach is already a powerhouse on par with Uncle Shiki and Big Brother Kaido.

"Hahaha!"

Teach chuckled, "It's all thanks to you, Boss!"

"So,"

Roa asked with a smile, "Have you decided what you want to eat for your third Devil Fruit?"

"..."

These words shocked everyone.

Katakuri even stammered a little, "The... third Devil Fruit?"

"Hey, Roa!"

Even the Golden Lion couldn't hold back any longer. "Are you serious?"

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you?"

Roa laughed and said, "Teach can eat multiple Devil Fruit, but that doesn't mean he can only eat two."

He can eat a total of three Devil Fruits!

Giving the Cerberus Fruit Teach is absolutely perfect.

Two Devil Fruit were already this powerful; if he ate a third, there's no doubt that Teach would surpass human limits and reach the realm of true monsters.

Three?

Everyone looking at Teach was filled with shock.

What kind of monster is this guy?

"Hahaha!"

Teach chuckled, "Boss, what do you think of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"

"Hmm, good idea."

Roa wasn't surprised at all. "Mythical Zoan, Logia, plus the strongest Paramecia —a perfect combination."

Not surprising at all.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Charlotte Linlin exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit? Whitebeard isn't dead yet!"

"Oh, this brings us to another interesting ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit."

Roa chuckled. "Anyway, Teach, how about a demonstration?"

"Certainly!!"

The Calamity City is not lacking in Devil Fruit users, but apart from artificially created Devil Fruit User, there are not many genuine Devil Fruit User.

However, some can still be used for experiments.

The first batch of Calamity Knights included the android who had eaten the Ancient Zoan Brachiosaurus Fruit.

"Hahaha! Let me show you the most interesting ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit!"

Teach, holding an apple in his right hand, strode toward the calm-faced Calamity Knights.

Everyone frowned, wondering what this guy was up to now.

Only the Golden Lion's expression changed slightly.

Based on the previous conversation between Roa and Teach, he suddenly had a terrifying guess.

"You thief! Hahaha! Die!"

Teach grabbed the Calamity Knights by the neck.

With a surge of Haki, even the exoskeleton with its Lineage Factor was no match for Teach's strength, and the Calamity Knights's neck was snapped by Teach.

The android's life, which originated from this initial Lineage Factor, vanished in an instant.

Then.

"Dark Water!!"

The dark force of gravity activated in the hand holding the apple.

The Calamity Knights's body was pulled towards him.

Then, as his life completely disappeared, something was pulled out of his body by gravity.

The next instant, everyone's expression changed drastically.

The apple in Teach's hand began to change shape, with spiral patterns extending outwards.

"What!!"
