The Powerful Dark-Dark Fruit

Teach's voice, transmitted through the Den Den Mushi, reached the entire kingdom, and they heard it clearly.

This greatly shocked them. Some with good memories couldn't help but recall what Teach had said to Pande before the war: that the Kraken Kingdom held what he wanted.

And this is the reason why the Night Pirates attacked the Kraken Kingdom.

Just for this Devil Fruit, what kind of power does it possess? Some people know it's a secret of the sea, but this is the first time they've truly witnessed it.

At this moment, Teach had already begun, grabbing the Dark-Dark Fruit and taking big bites, one after another, completely ignoring the disgusting taste of the Devil Fruit.

Or rather, although the Devil Fruit extremely bad, Teach forcibly endured the disgusting flavor. However, a few members with good eyesight noticed Teach's slightly trembling throat and couldn't help but smile.

Pande knew about the Dark-Dark Fruit. Although the power seemed very strong, it had a significant flaw. He never expected that the captain of the Night Pirates would attack them for this Devil Fruit and even ruin his important oath-taking ceremony.

Because of this incident, meaning they had no prior grudges against each other.

This only fueled his anger, but he wasn't worried. Although Teach's strength would increase after eating the Devil Fruit, how much? Devil Fruit require time to develop, and the powerful side effects of eating the Dark-Dark Fruit would actually weaken him. He was confident he could defeat Teach and couldn't help but laugh at Teach's foolishness.

Of course, this was just his own opinion.

Teach felt the power he had just gained within him; it was so familiar and easily under his control. He had been mentally prepared for this.

Teach had already given careful thought to the development of the Dark-Dark Fruit a long time ago, and with the reference to the original work and his own strong foundation, he was able to unleash the powerful force of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Dark power surged forth from within him, clearly visible from the outside as Teach raised his claws.

Teach's claws had turned black, Teach eerie black energy coiled around Teach body, continuously surging out and spreading across the ground, rolling and covering the entire surface.

"Devouring everything, destroying everything! Behold the dark power that can shatter everything!" Teach shouted excitedly. "The infinite gravity of Black Hole will reduce everything to nothingness!"

"Now, keep a close eye on things!"

Finally, it was time for Teach to put on his show. Everyone stared at the eerie darkness, as if drawn by an irresistible force, instilling a sense of fear in them.

The air was moving faster, creating powerful air currents and hurricanes. These powerful hurricanes made it difficult for people to stand still, and they were all heading straight for Teach.

Teach was like the eye of the storm, the center of everything.

Everything was swallowed by darkness. A powerful gravitational hurricane swept up rocks and rushed towards Teach, raising a dark barrier around Teach. Black mist filled the air, and everything that flew towards Teach crashed into the dark barrier without causing a ripple, and was completely swallowed up.

Teach possesses a dark space, which is also the source from which Teach absorbs everything; everything he absorbs ends up in this Darkness Space.

Then it is compressed and crushed in a short time. In other words, due to the nature of Teach's Darkness Space, it cannot store anything; anything that enters will be destroyed.

The black energy released by Teach also possessed the power to compress and crush.

Therefore, it can be seen that everything covered by the black mist, including houses, collapsed because they could not withstand the pressure. This terrifying force continued to spread rapidly in all directions.

"Hey! What amazing power! Should we run?" Lafitte's eyes widened as he looked at the surrounding black mist. Wings had sprouted from his back, and he flew into the air. Suddenly, his expression changed as he felt a pressure on his body, a downward pressure that was a powerful gravitational pull.

"No need, the dark energy has already avoided us. As expected of the captain, you can use the Devil Fruit precisely and display such powerful strength right after eating it." Wallace shook his head, then couldn't help but admire.

Just as Wallace said, the dark aura had avoided them, as had the residents of the royal city. With his Observation Haki, he could still control the spread of the dark aura.

Similarly, an even stronger gravitational force erupted from Teach's body, and the sky darkened, growing darker and darker, as if entering night.

"Even the light has been absorbed?" Rediat's pupils contracted as he stood at a distance. A white light emanated from Teach's body, but it wasn't the light emitted by Teach; rather, it was the outward manifestation of the light that Teach had devoured and absorbed.

Darkness had already entangled Pande's massive body; it was Pande's tentacles, Pande could not avoid. The distance was so short, and Teach's black mist was moving quite fast.

Under Teach's control, Pande tried desperately to break free of the dark aura, but to no avail; he couldn't even move.

Teach laughed excitedly. In the black mist, there was a feeling of difficulty in moving forward. This was Black Hole.

How could one move inside Black Hole? The entire body sank slightly into the hole.

As for the former King Bond, his entire body had collapsed into the darkness. Unable to fly steadily in the powerful hurricane, coupled with the strong downward pull, he accidentally fell into the darkness, unable to move, and could only watch in fear as his body sank slightly.

If one possesses immense power, it is possible, but extremely difficult. Teach doesn't believe anyone of the same level could break free after being devoured.

The Devil Fruit User the Dark-Dark Fruit possesses the "Darkness" gravity, which is essentially an infinite gravitational pull like Black Hole.

In other words, the development of the Dark-Dark Fruit mainly has two directions: Black Hole and gravity.

Teach has become the Dark Man, and now his body is an infinite Black Hole, radiating infinite gravity, as if it wants to devour everything.

If Teach didn't possess extraordinary power, why would he eat the Dark-Dark Fruit? It's precisely because of the power of this ability that he ate it. The side effects of the Dark-Dark Fruit —the inability to become an elemental—are irrelevant to Teach, as is the ability to withstand double the damage.

Because, to some extent, the Dark-Dark Fruit also possesses the ability of perfect, absolute defense; it can absorb all damage, as long as it can endure the doubled pain.

In a short time, Teach's darkness enveloped the entire palace and spread outwards. He could naturally expand further, and the area of darkness could become even larger. However, this was, after all, the territory of the Tiresfa Kingdom. If he could, Teach was now fully capable of destroying the entire royal city with just one move.

However, as a performance show for Teach's newly acquired abilities, one palace is enough. After all, a kingdom doesn't need two palaces; they would definitely have to be disposed of, and Teach will do that for them.

Now that the light was absorbed by Teach, darkness enveloped the entire sky, and the light emanating from him made Teach extremely dazzling. However, soon, even this light was swallowed up.

Teach's dark aura also avoided several important places, such as the royal palace's treasury. After all, it's a treasure trove, and it would be a great pity if it were destroyed. Besides, the Night Pirates also need money right now.

Teach's performance has only just begun; everything before was merely a prelude. However, even the prelude was terrifying. The bodies of the guards who lay unconscious or dead on the ground had already been devoured.

The powerful hurricane persists, the sky remains dark.

"Next, get swallowed by the Black Hole!"

Teach shouted, opening his arms wide, "Darkness Devour!"

This move is the Dark Acupoint from the original story, and it's the strongest move Teach Gang can currently use. It causes anyone or anything touched by darkness to be sucked in and sunk, compressed and crushed with infinite power, essentially creating a small Black Hole.

This move was already incredibly powerful and perfect, with immense destructive force. However, Teach added an immense downward gravitational pull, making it even more difficult to escape, and simultaneously making it even more powerful and perfect.

As Teach uttered his command, the sky and earth shattered instantly. The gravitational field within Teach's body had vanished, and the powerful downward gravity generated immense air pressure, causing buildings, people, and objects to sink, be swallowed, and crushed.

The entire area shrouded in darkness swirled, forming a massive, gloomy vortex that sent chills down one's spine.

It was like the legendary bottomless abyss; even outside the black mist, one's body involuntarily retreated and moved away.

"Ah!" Pande let out a painful scream. The part of his eight huge tentacles that had sunk into the darkness was crushed and torn off, and could not be retrieved.

The enormous vortex spun endlessly, and all the buildings above the darkness vanished, swallowed up by the darkness itself.

Immediately afterwards, the dark power contracted, shrinking in size like a receding tide, and all of it retreated into Teach's body.

The remaining scene was shocking, and some people couldn't help but cover their mouths.

"The royal palace has vanished!"

The once magnificent palace has vanished. Apart from a few buildings where people still stand, the surrounding city walls, those towering walls, have all disappeared.

All that remained was a bare, barren surface, as if it had been invaded and swept across.

The magnificent palace vanished, leaving behind only this vast wasteland. Seeing this scene only intensified the fear in my heart.

"This power is truly extraordinary," Rediat exclaimed, watching the scene unfold.

The same was true for the other members, but did these buildings simply disappear? Where did they go?

Seemingly having heard their questions, Teach told them the final answer.

As for Pande, Teach no longer cared. Having eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit, his strength was now vastly different from before, and the severed tentacles would take a long time to recover.

Even if he tried to run, he couldn't escape Teach's grasp. The Dark-Dark Fruit is effective against Devil Fruit User; the gravity of darkness will accurately attract the physical form of Devil Fruit User, and no matter how far apart they are, they cannot escape.

Teach has already locked onto him, and once he is attracted by Teach, he will inevitably be captured by Teach. With his powerful physique and martial arts skills, Teach has absolute confidence, and once captured by Teach, Pande's abilities will be rendered ineffective.

And how could Pande, who had lost his Devil Fruit powers, be a match for him? In the short time since eating the Dark-Dark Fruit, Teach has been able to use many of his techniques.

"Damn it, you bastard, where is my palace?" Even the physical pain couldn't compare to the agony in Teach's heart.

The royal palace is gone. It was the symbol of the Kraken Kingdom family. After more than a hundred years, it was destroyed right before his own eyes.

"Hahahaha! Now, please take a look at your palace and see what it looks like!" Teach was very pleased with Pande's anger. After eating the Dark-Dark Fruit, all his problems were solved. He was confident that he could escape even if Marine Admiral came.

Teach raised his arms high, spread them wide, and shouted, "Liberation!"

Behind and above Teach, a huge dark vortex appeared. At the same time, countless broken building parts flew out of the vortex, like garbage being dumped in a junkyard. Mountains of debris flew into the air and then fell to the ground like rain.

In a short period of time, all the fragments of the palace that Teach had swallowed up were released by Teach.

The dark vortex disappeared behind Teach, and everyone stared blankly at the ruins that had been transformed from the once magnificent palace—or rather, a junkyard.

Pande was stunned. For some reason, a few tears rolled down his cheeks. Even the death of his son had not made him so sad.

Amidst the ruins and the "garbage," many corpses lay scattered, mostly mutilated, some with only heads, others with arms. Judging from their clothing, they were the bodies of the royal guards who had been swallowed up, now mostly reduced to chunks of flesh. Some of the unconscious guards had also died, crushed to death.

As the camera zooms in, you can see the terrified expressions on the faces of some of the corpses.

This caused some onlookers to involuntarily close their eyes, their bodies trembling with fear, and some even vomiting out of disgust.

Teach's darkness possesses limitless crushing power, which he did not develop in the original work. His later attacks mainly relied on the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Dark-Dark Fruit is primarily for defense.

Under Teach's control, the crushing and pulverizing force was amplified, resulting in the current effect. There are hardly any large objects left in this ruin.

However, there was one survivor, breathing faintly. That was Bond, Ancient Species Devil Fruit User the Giant Eagle Fruit. His powerful physique and vitality allowed him to survive in Teach's Darkness Space.

However, judging from his condition, he was not in good shape either. The immense force had broken several of his bones, and now he lay in the ruins, panting for breath, having survived the ordeal.
