Seizing Devil Fruit Powers

"Baccarat, predict my success rate this time. Since it's my first time, I might fail." Teach was already mentally prepared and asked Baccarat. Baccarat's ability was quite accurate.

His first target was Teyera, the Devil Fruit User. Among all the Devil Fruit, the Hedgehog-Hedgehog Fruit's power was the weakest, so even if he failed, Teach wouldn't feel bad.

"Okay, wait a minute." Baccarat knew that this was something that couldn't be taken lightly. Devil Fruit such precious things, and losing even one would be a huge loss.

Baccarat closed her eyes and began to use her abilities.

Teach, already ready to begin, grabbed Teyera and dragged her to the edge of the table laden with fruit.

Teyera was completely powerless. With Teach others controlling their food supply to keep their bodies from dying, Teyera's eyes were filled with terror. Her mouth was open, but she couldn't even speak. The only thing that could be heard was her faint breathing.

Dry mouth, cracked skin, and even some shrinkage are signs of insufficient energy. However, with enough food, the skin will quickly return to normal.

Teach held a knife in his left hand and extended his right palm. Streams of black energy surged from Teach's body and rapidly spread outwards, covering the floor of the entire cage where these ability users were imprisoned in the blink of an eye.

The black aura was terrifying; it possessed an invisible suction force that seemed capable of drawing away their very souls.

The black mist churned and slowly coiled around the railings and walls, climbing upwards.

At this moment, Baccarat opened her eyes. "Captain, the chances of success are about eighty percent." In Baccarat's eyes, good luck accounted for a full eighty percent of the problem.

The odds were high, but that didn't satisfy Teach. He didn't want to leave it to luck; he wanted to control his own destiny. His goal was a 100% success rate.

Not only him, but everyone else also frowned. Ordinary abilities were fine, but the loss of those precious abilities would be very painful for them.

However, this is also why Teach asked Baccarat this question. After all, it was his first time, and an 80% chance was already quite high. To increase the chances of obtaining Devil Fruit, it would take several experiments.

However, now that he knew his method had a chance of failure, Teach slowly closed his eyes and carefully considered his approach, trying to think of ways to improve it.

"I never expected Teach to use Baccarat's ability to improve his method, and to do it so well." Rediat looked at Teach, his eyes lighting up. "This way, there's no need for constant experimentation. This method must be related to Teach's abilities. Now it's up to Baccarat to keep increasing her chances of success."

Not only Rediat, but everyone else noticed it too, and couldn't help but glance at Baccarat, "We didn't expect Baccarat's ability to also act as a weather vane."

"So, Baccarat, could you help me see when I'll be able to Awakening Armament Haki based on my current training progress?" Nelson asked Baccarat with a smile.

"That should work. Once you have a rough idea of the timeframe, you can accelerate your training and master Armament Haki ahead of schedule." Lafitte stroked his chin thoughtfully, then smiled. "Although it's a process of accumulation, it also requires opportunity and a battle. Rather than that, you might as well let Baccarat's luck help you Awakening earlier."

"Hmm, I've also read a novel. The protagonist was someone with incredibly strong luck. Once, he fell and hit his head on the ground. That's how he Awakening his Observation Haki. While fishing at the beach, a wooden box floated by. When he opened it, he found a Devil Fruit inside. After eating it, he got the powerful Tremor-Tremor Fruit." Pito pondered for a moment and then said.

"Because of this, the protagonist sets sail and Awakening Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki during his battles with Sea King. Also, the protagonist has a special innate physique, allowing him to eat two Devil Fruits. The second Devil Fruit is the Dark-Dark Fruit."

Upon hearing this, everyone else was speechless. "You're not talking about Edward Teach, are you?" Baccarat couldn't help but say, letting out a sigh.

"How did you know?" Pito, somewhat puzzled.

The others turned their attention to Baccarat raised her hands and spread them out helplessly. "Didn't any of you see it? The Transponder Snail Mushi isn't just about battles. Some people are already telling stories in the videos, and others are traveling around the world, showing off the local customs, food, and culture. This video is called 'The Legendary Journey of Edward Teach,' and it's been really popular lately. Haven't you all been paying attention to any of this?"

"No." The others shook their heads in unison, except for Pito, because they were all very free. The others were basically training and usually watched videos of the battles of the strong people in the New World.

Since this industry emerged, it has generated huge profits, and many people carry a Transponder Snail). Previously, only journalists paid attention to these things, but now, whenever a battle occurs, even people who are not journalists will film it.

Because the World Economic News collects footage from around the world, it receives 20% of the profits from the footage, 50% goes to the actors in the footage, and 30% goes to them.

This caused the industry to explode in popularity. It has to be said that Morgans's mind is very advanced. In just one month, countless images appeared, and there are all kinds of them.

One of the most popular videos, which lasts only thirty seconds, is a video of Whitebeard. The video is called "The World's Strongest". The scene shows Whitebeard standing at the bow of the Moby Dick, facing the sea, holding a large sword in his left hand.

Whitebeard raised his fist and slammed it into the air. With a "crack," the air seemed to shatter like a mirror, as if space itself had been shattered by Whitebeard's punch.

The force of this punch caused a cataclysmic upheaval, with towering waves and the entire world seemingly losing its luster. The space trembled, the sea split open, and abysses appeared one after another, fully demonstrating the World's Strongest power.

It is said that the person who released this video was Whitebeard himself, and he earned billions of dollars from it. This is the video of the World's Strongest attack, announcing himself to the world.

Similarly, Golden Lion Shiki was not to be outdone. He released an image, showing Golden Lion flying in the air. After shouting "Slash Wave!", Golden Lion unleashed a giant golden slash. The powerful slash instantly sliced through the sea, creating a bottomless abyss. The slash's range was hundreds of kilometers long.

Similarly, the other overlords were not to be outdone, displaying their monstrous power.

The immense power Seaquake; these were the monsters of the New World, their power truly terrifying.

However, with Teach's example and the influence of battle footage, the psychological resilience of the people and pirates in the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line has become much stronger. Even so, it still deterred many weaker pirates and damaged the confidence of the people and the Navy.

To boost the confidence of its members, the Navy also took action, showcasing its power to the world in just a few short clips: "Great Buddha Form - Impact!", "Meteor Volcano!", "Yasakani no Magatama!", "Ice Age!", "Bone Fist - Bone Crusher Meteor Shower!"

It demonstrates the navy's powerful strength, gives confidence to ordinary naval personnel and people around the world, and tells them not to worry, that the navy is there for them.

Outside the prison, "It seems this guy is an admirer of Whitebeard and Captain America. He not only combined their names but also their abilities. He really has a wild imagination," Xiouyapufu exclaimed. "I'll go check it out sometime, since it's so popular." The other crew members nodded in agreement.

In the shadows, Rediat couldn't help but glance at Teach. Although Teach was deep in thought, he had also clearly heard the conversation outside. The corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily.

How could there be such a talent on the high seas? Rediat was naturally aware of Teach's special abilities; Teach had also told him that the target for the second Devil Fruit was Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

This was such a coincidence! At that moment, both of them were momentarily stunned.

"Well, according to that person, this is just a direction. They haven't obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit yet, mainly because the captain hasn't shown his skills much, and they don't know many of his moves. They want to wait until the captain develops various moves before obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit. He has also thought of some moves, but he doesn't know the Dark-Dark Fruit's abilities and just feels they're a bit weak. He doesn't want to be criticized by the captain's fans and supporters," Baccarat then explained.

"Hey, the captain has fans now? What about us?" Xiouyapufu asked curiously.

"The current Transponder Snail is not yet perfect and lacks many important functions. Now, the major Den Den Mushi breeding forces have joined forces to form the Den Den Mushi Joint Breeding Company, which is dedicated to breeding Den Den Mushi with more complete functions. It seems that we will have to change Den Den Mushi soon."

"The fan ranking was created by the World Economic News, but it's not very accurate. In the future, you can vote for your favorite people through Den Den Mushi."

"Right now, the top supporter is Xiouyapufu." Baccarat looked at Xiouyapufu with a strange expression. "He's far ahead of the second place in the fan rankings. However, according to the data, 95% of your supporters are girls."

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do, I'm just too perfect." Xiouyapufu said with a faint smile, taking out the mirror he always carried with him.

Teach, having cleared away the external distractions, improved his original approach, or rather, identified his imperfections and worked to perfect them.

After careful consideration, Teach opened his eyes, turned to look at Baccarat, and said, "Baccarat, let's try again now and see what the chances are."

"Yes, Captain." Baccarat nodded and used her ability once again.

Not long after, Baccarat said with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Captain, the success rate is now around 95%."

"Well, that's about it. The remaining 5% failure rate should be attributed to external factors and Teach's operational errors. So, it can be said to be perfect," Rediat said, expressing his thoughts.

"Okay, let's begin." Teach nodded, looking at Teyera was powerless to resist.

The others held their breath, waiting, because they couldn't see anything. The black mist had enveloped the entire cage, leaving no room for leakage, which was to prevent the Devil Fruit powers from escaping.

And their Observation Haki couldn't detect it either.

Teach's dark aura completely blocked their Observation Haki; it was pitch black inside, and there wasn't even a sound.

Apart from Teach, no one else could see anything. In this space, darkness swallowed everything, neither light nor sound could move. This was Teach's domain, like being inside a small Black Hole. This move also isolated everything, separating the inner and outer worlds, and it was called the "Dark Realm," the dark world.

During this period, the development of the Dark-Dark Fruit has been progressing rapidly, and all sorts of techniques have been developed, all of which were his plans. Now, what needs to be done is to increase the power of these techniques, which requires Teach to continuously improve his Devil Fruit abilities and continue to develop them.

Unconsciously, Teach slashed Teyera's throat with the knife in his left hand. But the people in this world were very resilient, and even so, Teyera was still alive. Since that was the case, Teach stabbed Teyera again, Teyera died completely.

Then, the black energy in Teach's palm swirled continuously, seemingly absorbing something.

The abilities of Devil Fruit are invisible and intangible, but Teach is different. He can sense the existence of Devil Fruit abilities and can grab them with his own hands.

The Devil Fruit's power is still within Teyera's body, but it's slowly dissipating, seemingly trying to leave Teyera.

Seeing this, Teach immediately reached out his hand. The power of darkness, the powerful gravity of darkness, was the nemesis of Devil Fruit. The power of the Devil Fruit was sucked out of Teach 'Teyera body without any resistance and fell into Teach's hand. It was imprisoned by Teach's dark power, held tightly, and could not be broken.

Teach felt the power gripping his hand, a sensation as if he could absorb it into his own body, but how could that be?

Teach glanced at the pile of fruit on the table to the side, then released a wisp of black mist that enveloped the entire table. He then reached his hand, which held the Devil Fruit power, into the mist and released it.

The Devil Fruit's power roamed around the table shrouded in black mist. This was Teach's double layer of protection; if the power could break through the black mist's barrier, there was still the outer layer.

However, Teach succeeded. He only felt his power rush towards one of the fruits on the table after he could no longer break through the dark barrier.

This barrier could not block Teach's Observation Haki. In his perception, the fruit was slowly changing, growing larger, and strange patterns appeared on its surface.

The dark area slowly disappeared, and what Rediat and the others saw first was not Teach, but the six Devil Fruits that were clearly visible on the table, on top of the pile of fruit.

Hedgehog-Hedgehog Fruit, Wave-Wave Fruit, Rage Fruit, Pierce-Pierce Fruit, Ancient Species Kraken Fruit, Ancient Species Eagle-Eagle Fruit - Eagle Form.
