Compared to two years ago, when he was still unskilled at using his Devil Fruit, he had now developed this ability to the awakened stage.
The awakening of a Logia meant complete elementalization of the user!
If elementalization before awakening was an active skill, allowing an enemy who didn't know Armament Haki to take advantage of a Devil Fruit user before they had time to activate elementalization, then such a possibility no longer existed after awakening. A Devil Fruit user who had turned elementalization into a passive skill could not be injured by someone who didn't know Haki.
Of course, the awakening of a Logia wouldn't only enhance it in this regard. Complete elementalization meant that the user himself had also become an element!
This meant that they could easily mobilize the natural elements in the world around them and even change the weather and terrain of an entire region.
And what Blackbeard was doing now was turning this entire area into complete darkness.
"Zehahaha! Is this all the strength you have? You useless fools are really bringing shame to Old Man!" Although he knew the people in the darkness couldn't hear him, Blackbeard didn't care, because he was putting on an act for everyone else to see.
And everyone had indeed been shocked. The strongest pirate crew in the past had been instantly defeated by Blackbeard in a single exchange. Who would have thought this fat, black man would be so powerful?
Moreover, Blackbeard was already this strong, so how powerful was Sakazuki, who had beaten Blackbeard into fleeing back to the first half of the Grand Line? And how powerful was the Commander-in-Chief who had forced Sakazuki to leave the Marines?
Thinking of this, everyone became wary of Longinus, while their enthusiasm for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit diminished somewhat.
