The Name of the Dark Emperor: The Night Pirates' Vast Potential (2)

Finally, there's Gari, Mink Tribe with Teach, who faces two Devil Fruit User: one with the Black Panther-Black Panther Fruit and the other with the Rage Fruit.

Although Gari was being suppressed, they knew Gari would not be defeated. Could it be that this Mink Tribe was also a hidden Devil Fruit User?

Meanwhile, in two places in this world, people were very excited to see him. In fact, they had noticed him from the beginning, but at that time their attention was mostly on Teach.

On a mysterious island in the first half of the Grand Line, a craftsman holding a gourd of wine exclaimed excitedly, his eyes fixed on the double-edged dagger and the adamantine claw in Gari's hand. "It's Gari! It really is him! He's even holding the weapon I forged for him."

"I never imagined that after disappearing, he would join the Night Pirates," one person couldn't help but exclaim.

Although they were on this dangerous island, it didn't mean they were cut off from communication with the outside world.

The island's hunters often go out to sea to the nearest island to trade the valuable animal hides they hunt.

These animal hides are extremely valuable, especially to nobles, so they always fetch a high price. It's not that no one has their eyes on them, but the final result is never good.

In addition, they also bring news and intelligence about the outside world. Since the appearance of these Transponder Snail, their understanding of the outside world has become clearer, and their lives have become much richer.

They knew about the Night Pirates, but they had only felt that Gari was somewhat familiar, without recognizing him, or rather, recognizing him but not being sure.

After all, nearly two years have passed, and Gari has grown a lot, becoming even stronger.

"Rexa, haha, I told Gari wouldn't die." A hunter couldn't help but laugh, speaking to an old hunter standing in the middle with a hint of respect in his tone.

Rain Rexa was the legendary hunter who adopted Gari; his prey consisted of ferocious beasts.

The old hunter named Rexa smiled. "I always believed Gari would be alright." However, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that Gari will soon surpass you, and so will Slada. You know, you were the strongest hunter on this island in two hundred years. I didn't expect you to be surpassed so quickly, and by two people at that." The man couldn't help but sigh. As he spoke, he glanced at a burly man not far away. The man was very tall, standing at six meters, with bulging muscles all over his body.

What's even more surprising is his weapon, hidden behind him—a massive ship's anchor.

Slada, born with immense strength and a powerful physique, could easily swing this enormous anchor.

Slada's gaze fell on the image, watching the battle unfold. A sense of longing welled up within him, and he felt a surge of joy at seeing that Gari was still alive.

They weren't rivals, though they were known as the Twin Stars and had a very good relationship. He often consulted Rexa and frequently encountered Gari.

In contrast, Gari fully inherited the mantle of the legendary hunter Rexa, combining speed and power.

Slada, on the other hand, is even more violent, pushing power to its extreme, which is also his preferred fighting style.

Now that he has seen Gari and witnessed the outside world and the battles that have taken place there, he can't help but feel a sense of anticipation and a desire to go outside.

Staying on this island for so long made him feel a bit bored, and he became even more curious about the outside world.

Meanwhile, in the New World, atop the giant elephant, in the Mink Tribe Mink Kingdom, several Mink Tribe stared blankly at the white figure on the image. "That's Gari, isn't it? Even the name is exactly the same, another rare white lion."

"Of course! I never imagined he was still alive. I'm so happy!" she said, wiping away her tears.

"We all thought he was dead. He fell from the back of the giant elephant and survived. He's so lucky, Kaluchu."

Even a one-year-old Mink Tribe has considerable fighting power, so the Mink Tribe have a very early memory and have never forgotten that since Gari fell from the back of the Zunesha, there has been no news of him for many years. Even though the Mink Tribe to look for him, they could not find him and could only confirm that Gari was dead.

In the Mink Kingdom, there's also a tomb they built for Gari, which they often visit to pay their respects when they have free time.

Suddenly, all the adult Mink Tribe widened their eyes in surprise. They saw Gari, who was now at a disadvantage, raise his head and roar angrily.

Their bodies underwent a transformation, and they began to enter the familiar Moon Lion Form.

"How... how is this possible? Gari... he can transform into his Moon Lion Form on his own without moonlight." Gari's name became known to all the citizens of the Mink Kingdom in a short time. An adult Mink Tribe exclaimed in shock, as they were all too familiar with this form.

Separated by a vast ocean, the distant Wano Country has now entered a completely new era. Since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, Oden has long since returned to Wano Country and assumed the position of Wano Country.

Wano Country is now open to the public, though not truly open, as only one port, Mujina Port in Hakumai, is open. Outsiders still face restrictions when entering Wano Country. Besides being restricted to Mujina Port, they will also be monitored by Wano Country samurai. It's not exactly surveillance, but samurai will be watching them. They're not used to it yet; their clothing immediately identifies them as outsiders. However, they're gradually getting used to it. Newspapers from outside are now delivered by special News Bird.

Most people who come to Wano Country are swordsmen who come to challenge the samurai of Wano Country and hone their swordsmanship. Most of the samurai of Wano Country do not refuse these challenges. They are all curious about swordsmanship from the outside world and can learn, understand, and improve themselves in battle.

Similarly, the samurai of Wano Country were no longer restricted from leaving the Wano Country, Kozuki Oden encouraged them to go out to sea and see a wider world.

Furthermore, he cleverly used reverse psychology, reasoning that he wanted to make the name of the Wano Country samurai resound throughout the sea once again.

Indeed, this was the case. Many samurai developed a curiosity about the sea. There were many such people, especially after Oden returned from the sea and met the Whitebeard Pirates, who had a different style but were equally powerful.

In the past, there was a policy of isolationism, but that's no longer the case. The world has never lacked curious and courageous people. Samurai from Wano Country have appeared on the high seas, and some of them have even joined pirate crews and become pirates.

In the Capital of Flowers, at the Shogun's residence, Oden and his Oden were also watching the video. Oden's retainers were also present, witnessing Gari's transformation. Those of them who were familiar with the Mink Tribe sensed something was amiss.

Kin'emon suddenly realized something and turned his questioning gaze to Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, "Didn't you say that your Mink Tribe's Moon Lion Form can only be transformed on the night of a full moon? How come this Mink Tribe member can control it autonomously and doesn't need a medium like moonlight?"

Inuarashi opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer the question.

"I don't know either. The power hidden in the bloodline needs moonlight to awaken it, unless Gari has found a new medium." The Nekomamushi scratched its head, feeling as if the original rules had been broken all at once.

"No need to rush, let's keep watching. Judging from Gari's transformation, this state is unstable and shouldn't last long." Kozuki Oden, sitting at the head of the table, rested his chin on his hand and smiled.

Hearing Oden say this, the others nodded, feeling that there was some truth to it.

Everyone else was somewhat surprised, not expecting Gari to transform. Apart from those who knew the Mink Tribe's Moon Lion Form, the rest of the viewers believed it was Gari's Devil Fruit ability.

Next, after transforming, Gari's strength increased dramatically, and his terrifying lightning power ended the battle in a short time.

After transforming, Gari is a complete monster. The situation that was previously suppressed is completely reversed, and he has the ability to suppress even ordinary Marine Vice Admiral.

Finally, the story returns to the battle between Teach and Pande. Teach's ability to generate a powerful impact with just his fists is truly eye-opening. In addition, the thousands of tentacles he uses in his fight with Pande demonstrate Teach's agile speed and powerful Observation Haki.

Teach directly blocked Pande's massive tentacle as it lashed downwards, demonstrating Teach immense strength and physique.

Teach seems to have no weaknesses now. Pande is extremely powerful, a renowned strongman even in the New World, but to deal with Teach, he can only rely on his monstrous regenerative abilities.

Furthermore, from the start of the battle until now, Teach seems to have not suffered any injuries. Most of the attacks have missed, and the rest have been blocked by Teach.

Those strong individuals, those with better insight, seemed to have realized that if the fight continued like this, Pande would undoubtedly lose. The two were already vastly different in terms of their fundamental strength, and relying on his powerful Devil Fruit abilities only narrowed the gap between Teach and Teach.

Despite his immense strength, including powerful physical abilities, physique, and Three Types of Haki Teach, Teach is only eighteen years old and has not yet consumed Devil Fruit User.

This inevitably reminded them of those martial arts masters, such as Garp and Zephyr, but were they this strong at the same age as Teach? Now, Teach's strength is enough to establish himself in the New World and occupy a large territory, although he is not yet qualified to contend for supremacy.

But considering that Teach has already eaten a powerful Devil Fruit, one can imagine that his strength will be greatly enhanced, and in that case, he would be qualified to become a ruler based on strength alone.

This undoubtedly posed a huge threat to the overlords of the New World, an overlord whose power was rapidly increasing.

Now, all I want to do is look forward to Teach's abilities, and what kind of power the Dark-Dark Fruit possesses.

Some highly capable individuals have already obtained information about the Dark-Dark Fruit, but what truly matters about a fruit is the user's ability to develop it.

The video was nearing its climax, and Teach's smile corresponded to Nelson's appearance shortly afterward. Their conversation revealed that Teach's invasion of the Kraken Kingdom's capital was due to this Devil Fruit.

Even those who already know the truth are still curious: what kind of power does the Dark-Dark Fruit possess? It's enough to mobilize the entire Night Pirates and make Teach so eager to obtain it. This shows that the Kraken Kingdom is very powerful. The king alone is so strong, and there was also a previous king who possessed a rare Ancient Species Devil Fruit.

The combined strength of the entire royal guard, plus the king, would be enough to establish a top-tier pirate crew in the New World.

Many people don't know that this kingdom is so powerful, and its king possesses monstrous strength, making it completely different from those small countries that are bullied by pirates.

If the Dark-Dark Fruit hadn't appeared, the Night Pirates would have been in serious trouble.

Finally, Teach ate the Dark-Dark Fruit. After eating the Devil Fruit, Teach was completely different from before. In an instant, he displayed astonishing power, and the entire sky was darkened by the influence of his ability.

"What's going on?" A Marine Headquarters asked, puzzled, upon seeing the scene.

"The Dark-Dark Fruit's power absorbs light; without light, the sky naturally darkens," Tsuru explained. Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but glance at Borsalino, the Devil Fruit User.

"Isn't this the very ability that counters Vice Admiral Borsalino?" one officer remarked.

The next moment, Borsalino's gaze fell directly on him. "Hey! I can't agree with that." As he spoke, the officer felt immense pressure, and his face turned pale.

He wanted nothing more than to slap himself hard, realizing he had inadvertently offended Borsalino, who, after all, was the designated Admiral, within the last two years.

"There's no such thing as mutual restraint. The Glint-Glint Fruit is the top-tier Logia Devil Fruit, and the Dark-Dark Fruit is also the top-tier Logia Devil Fruit. At most, they just restrain each other. Moreover, they each have their own advantages. The Glint-Glint Fruit is about speed, and although the Dark-Dark Fruit brings some drawbacks, we can't deny the power of this ability. It also has some special abilities. Otherwise, Teach wouldn't want to get it so much," Advisor Tsuru explained.

In the video, Teach, who had just eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit, displayed earth-shattering power. Through the newspapers, they already knew that Teach was about to use the move that would destroy the royal palace.

However, a few photos can't compare to the clarity and brilliance of a video.

Black mist rapidly spread outwards, accompanied by gales and gusts of wind. Teach became the center of the world as the black mist devoured everything. The scene shifted to the high sky, where the image trembled slightly as the Reporter Bird struggled to maintain its balance.
