Chapter 687

Darkness swirled in Blackbeard's hand, clearly indicating he was using Devil Fruit ability, but nothing changed; Chen Fan stood motionless.

"How is this possible! Why weren't you pulled here by gravity?! You clearly used your ability earlier! My Dark Vortex can accurately attract Devil Fruit User! Could it be that you're not..." Blackbeard shouted at Chen Fan in disbelief;

Chen Fan's voice rang out beside Blackbeard, "You guessed right, I'm not Devil Fruit User, I'm a psychic."

Chapter 190 Blackbeard

(Chapter 190 Blackbeard)

Chen Fan's words caused Blackbeard's expression to change drastically. How could this be? How could Chen Fan know that he possessed the ability to steal Devil Fruit? Moreover, judging from his words, it seemed that he could also take over the abilities of other people's Devil Fruit. How could that be? He had memorized all of them in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, except for his own Darkness Fruit, which he possessed due to his unique physical characteristics.

Chen Fan blurted out the Darkness Fruit. He had only mentioned it to a few of his subordinates; no one else knew about it. Could it be that his subordinates had betrayed him? No, that was impossible.

Blackbeard, his face grim, said, "Who exactly are you? How do you know me!" The fact that Chen Fan dared to appear here even though he knew he possessed the Darkness Fruit made him feel uneasy.

Chen Fan smiled at Blackbeard and said, "Originally, my target wasn't you, but since you've come forward yourself, you can't blame me." After speaking, Chen Fan gave Nami and the others a look, signaling them to leave. After all, Blackbeard was a user of the Darkness Fruit, and none of the Logia Fruits should be underestimated, because eating a Logia Fruit makes one very powerful almost instantly, and other Devil Fruits can achieve similar effects after training.

Nami and the others understood Chen Fan's meaning and all left in the direction of the ship. Blackbeard saw this and signaled to Doc Q and Burgess to capture the women as hostages. Burgess and Doc Q also understood Blackbeard's meaning.

However, the two men understood the meaning in Chen Fan's eyes even more clearly. If they dared to move, Chen Fan would chop them to pieces. Their bodies trembled slightly. Looking at their current state, they finally understood how Van Augur had felt earlier. They were truly inconsiderate.

Chen Fan's dangerous aura made them want to run away as fast as they could.

"What are you two doing? Go and grab those women! I'll hold this guy off!" Blackbeard shouted angrily at the two men.

But the two of them didn't dare to move an inch. They were inwardly complaining that Blackbeard didn't care about the crew at all. Chen Fan the kind of person who could just run away whenever he wanted? Right now, Burgess was holding a house in his hand. He couldn't throw it away, and he couldn't keep it either. He could only hold it up.

Seeing the two men's expressions, Blackbeard said irritably, "You two pieces of trash, get back to the ship and wait somewhere far away, or don't blame me if you die!"

Chen Fan's aura vanished from the two men, who breathed a sigh of relief. One had almost been cut in two by Chen Fan's blade; even as the Doc Q, a top-tier doctor, he couldn't guarantee his survival. The other was completely stunned by Chen Fan's ability to shatter all the houses in the town with a single kick. Now, they avoided Chen Fan like Nezumi before a cat, daring not to harbor any ill intentions. Moreover, they couldn't allow Chen Fan's woman to get hurt before Chen Fan failed, otherwise, Chen Fan would almost certainly take his anger out on them—just look at Van Augur.

The two quickly ran towards their boat; Chen Fan's meaning had been clearly conveyed to them.

Soon, only Blackbeard and Chen Fan remained on the island.

"Kid! It seems you know about the power of my Devil Fruit, the Darkness Fruit, known as the most evil fruit. I don't believe any other fruit can surpass mine."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't call me 'kid'! I'm over 150 years old, not someone you can call 'kid'." With that, Chen Fan drew two swords, the Supreme Grade Swords... Mandarin Ducks.

Blackbeard was stunned by Chen Fan's words. Chen Fan didn't seem to be lying. Could this man have eaten the legendary Devil Fruit, the Longevity Fruit? No wonder this man was so strong. Greed overwhelmed Blackbeard's reason. He now had only one thought in his mind: he had to kill Chen Fan and take Chen Fan Devil Fruit.

Chen Fan had no time to add any more color to Blackbeard's dream. "Whoosh...!" Two swift slashes hurtled towards Blackbeard. Chen Fan was becoming increasingly proficient in using killing intent. Chen Fan practiced and controlled it while on the ship, and Chen Fan discovered that it was the best thing to do against Logia users. In this world where superpowers were everywhere, Chen Fan's own superpowers seemed somewhat inadequate. Therefore, he needed to make the most of every bit of power he had, because there were still many people he needed to protect. To be strong for the sake of protection was the strongest.

... Seeking fresh crocodile...

Blackbeard's dream was also shattered by Chen Fan's attack. Now was not the time to think about such things; his first priority was to defeat the man in front of him.

"Black Hole!" Blackbeard's body was instantly enveloped in darkness, absorbing Chen Fan's attack;

Blackbeard laughed loudly, "Haha...! It's useless. My Darkness Fruit is gravity, a gravity that can absorb everything, even light cannot escape. How could your slash possibly hurt me!"

Chen Fan smiled slightly after hearing Blackbeard's words. He Silent Step stepped forward, and his body vanished instantly. Blackbeard was stunned, not expecting Chen Fan to be so fast.

Chen Fan instantly appeared behind Blackbeard, swinging his sword at Blackbeard. Blackbeard knew his body's weakness; having just witnessed Chen Fan's terrifying strike, he dared not risk his own body to see if Chen Fan could cut him in two. He couldn't disintegrate his body like other Logia Devil Fruit, and the pain would be doubled.

He quickly ducked and rolled away from Chen Fan's attack. His movements were quite swift; Chen Fan hadn't expected this guy to evade Chen Fan attack in such a way.
