Lu Yu, hidden in the void, watched the fierce battle between the two with curiosity.
Lu Yu understood that when Ace chose to clash with Blackbeard using his abilities, he had already lost a step.
Blackbeard's abilities are definitely a powerful nemesis of Ace's abilities, and a head-on clash would play right into Ace's hands.
"Why is this guy so clueless about these things? Is it because of his obsession?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Yu could clearly feel the power fluctuations before him slowly subsiding.
The power of darkness ultimately devoured the power of the flames. Seeing Ace lying on the ground, devoid of any consciousness, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This guy was truly hopeless; no wonder he was captured by Blackbeard.
"However, isn't this also an opportunity? If I can seize this opportunity, I might discover some interesting things!"
Such a thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind, but his hands moved without slowing down. Hidden in the void, he formed a complex hand seal, which he then inscribed on the parchment scroll before gently tossing it forward.
The slight fluctuation in space was imperceptible; in an instant, the parchment that Lu Yu had taken out was already attached to Ace's body and merged into his.
"With this life-saving charm, you're safe. If it weren't for Luffy's sake, what would I care about your life or death?"
Shaking his head slightly, Lu Yu said no more. Having had some contact with Blackbeard in the past, Lu Yu understood that these guys had a clear purpose and would not stay in this small sea area at all.
That New World, with its four emperors, was their true goal.
After this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Yu watched as Blackbeard and the others tied Ace up, a cold, disdainful smile appearing in his heart. Then, his figure disappeared from this space.
"I wonder how you'll react when Ace's power is unleashed!"
A figure vanished into thin air, while Blackbeard glanced lightly in the direction Lu Yu had gone, but couldn't discern anything amiss.
However, the terrifying sense of crisis that had been lingering in his heart during the battle with Ace had slowly dissipated.
"What's going on? I have this feeling that someone is watching me. I was worried it was Ace who brought this on. This feeling is really unpleasant!"
After muttering this to himself, Blackbeard and his crew resumed their journey.
During this time, Lu Yu traveled to countless islands and saw countless landscapes, and his inner understanding grew deeper and deeper.
It seemed that Lu Yu was able to understand the special abilities contained in Devil Fruits through his understanding of the power in the entire sea area and his thoughts and experiences during this period.
Lost in thought, Lu Yu entered a strange sea area where the sky was always overcast.
Lu Yu looked up at the sky:
" Nami told me that there are many strange sights along the Grand Line, and as we go deeper into the latter half of the route, these sights will become even more troublesome. This seems to be the first warning bell ringing in my ears; I have to consider the weather."
Muttering to himself, Lu Yu didn't care too much about the situation before him and quickly blended into the dark sea.
When Lu Yu arrived at this sea area, as his spiritual power spread in all directions, he discovered that there were many lost ships in this region.
Some were even so dilapidated that they defied description, yet they would still suddenly appear in some unknown corner.
"The spatial distortions here are rather strange; they can even reflect images of ships that have passed by in the past. Even ghost ships are probably no better than this."
As they were talking, Lu Yu's mental energy suddenly swept over a creature that made him feel strange.
"I never imagined that such a guy actually existed in this world. He's quite interesting; Luffy would probably like him."
As they were talking, Lu Yu's figure disappeared from the spot and in the blink of an eye arrived at an extremely large ship. Looking at the tattered sails and the ship's hull, Lu Yu couldn't help but marvel.
Even in its dilapidated state, this ship still exudes such grandeur; it must have been a formidable force in its heyday.
"Hey! Bones, you're quite something. All that's left are bones, yet you're still managing to stay so calm. How long have you been here?"
If anyone else were here, they would definitely think Lu Yu was crazy after saying that to thin air.
Unexpectedly, in an inconspicuous corner behind Lu Yu, a skeleton without any flesh slowly stood up, its cane pointing forward as it stood up.
"My dear friend, in these thirty years of film and television, no one has dared to board my ship. You are the first. I am truly thrilled!"
As they were talking, the skeleton walked forward.
"Wait a minute! Why don't you have a shadow?"
Before he had taken two steps, Brook heard the man in front of him ask him a question with a questioning look in his eyes.
"This friend has a keen eye; he was able to spot that I have no shadow even in such a gloomy place."
To be honest, my shadow was taken by someone else. If it weren't for that, I probably would have left this sea area long ago to fulfill my promise to my friend.
"I once heard of a Shichibukai who could steal other people's shadows. I suppose the shadow on you was stolen by him."
I'm actually quite interested in this person. How about we make a deal? I'll help you reclaim your shadow, and you have to promise me one thing!
As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, Brook's face lit up with excitement, and he nodded quickly.
The bones could sense just how powerful the force emanating from Lu Yu was, as deep and unfathomable as an abyss!
