How Much He Wanted to Stay Away from Moke Now
This fierce struggle led to the existence of an anomaly like Blackbeard. His body became a battlefield for the three Lineage Factor, each striving to display its own characteristics, resulting in a bizarre and unique state for Blackbeard's body.
Devil Fruit act as a catalyst, exacerbating this chaos. They attach themselves to and become tightly bound to Lineage Factor. Just as Vegapunk did, he successfully created the Dragon-Dragon Fruit by extracting Kaido's Lineage Factor. This is because once a Devil Fruit is eaten, the devil within it merges with the Lineage Factor, forming a new and powerful force.
Therefore, when Vegapunk extracted the bloodline factor, what he obtained was not simply Kaido's Lineage Factor, but rather the Lineage Factor resulting from the fusion of Kaido and the Devil in the Devil Fruit. This fused Lineage Factor possesses even greater power and characteristics, making the Dragon-Dragon Fruit an extremely rare and powerful fruit.
Take the Seraphim, for example. They are clones of former members of the Shichibukai, but they are more than that. To further enhance their strength, their creators also incorporated the bloodline of Alber (Jin) of the Lunarian Tribe. This unique bloodline fusion gives the Seraphim not only the original abilities of their clones but also Alber (Jin)'s special abilities, making them even more powerful.
The Battle of Hachinosu ended with Garp being captured alive by Aokiji. Blackbeard planned to use Garp as a bargaining chip to demand that the World Government recognize the legitimacy of Hachinosu and join the World Government. However, the Five Elders and Akainu remained indifferent, while Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru secretly went to rescue him.
The Straw Hat Crew is escaping the Mysterious Country. Road was taught a lesson by Nami and is currently unconscious. The Straw Hat Crew also encountered two giants, Hajrudin's allies, who are essentially Luffy's underlings. However, Luffy doesn't recognize them and, fearing the giants will capture them, they weren't invited into Elbaf, thus becoming intruders.
Luffy and Roronoa Zoro split up; he jumped off the suspension bridge, while Roronoa Zoro and Nami continued across. Luffy encountered Prince Loki in the canyon forest. It turned out the voice Luffy heard was coming from Prince Loki. Prince Loki killed his father and ate the legendary Devil Fruit; he was imprisoned in this canyon forest by the Giant Tribe.
The appearance of the burned man and his connection to the Poneglyphs and the One Piece have been mentioned many times, and Elbaf may become the stage for the final battle, with various forces (including the Red-Hair Pirates) gradually converging.
Sengoku will face Blackbeard in a one-on-one Sengoku, while Vice Admiral Tsuru infiltrates the prison to rescue Garp. This battle not only concerns Garp's life or death but could also affect the balance of power between the Navy and the Four Emperors. The Sengoku is expected to be intense, but it's uncertain who will emerge victorious. Sengoku, as the Admiral, possesses considerable strength, Blackbeard is widely acknowledged as such. Therefore, this battle is highly anticipated.
In Elbaf, Roronoa Zoro engages in a fierce battle with Shamrock, the leader of the Knights of God. Shamrock uses the power of the Cerberus Fruit to clash with Roronoa Zoro's Three-Sword Style, and the outcome of the battle may influence the subsequent confrontation Celestial Dragons and the Revolutionary Army.
After escaping from prison, King consumed the Artificial Phoenix Fruit created by Vegapunk, gaining a half-human, half-bird form and regenerative abilities. His new powers may play an important role in future storylines.
Therefore, although their appearance is identical to that of the Shichibukai in their youth, their skin differs significantly from the original Shichibukai. These Seraphim possess artificial blood called "Green Blood." This Green Blood contains Lineage Factor from Paramecia Devil Fruit User, granting the Seraphim corresponding abilities. This means that they can not only eat Devil Fruit like ordinary humans, but also consume two additional Devil Fruit!
Dark-Dark Fruit indeed powerful, he dismissed it without hesitation. His gaze was fixed on the Zoan -type Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit... His desire grew stronger, and he could barely contain his impulse.
However, at this critical moment, a sudden phone ring broke the tense atmosphere. His heart tightened, and he quickly grabbed the phone and answered it. On the other end of the line, Ata's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, as if he had some important news to tell him.
"Captain! We finally succeeded!" Ata's voice trembled with excitement on the other end of the phone. "We forced Gild Tesoro to reveal the location of his treasure vault, and we even found two Devil Fruit inside!"
Upon hearing the words "Devil Fruit," his eyes lit up, and his previously tense nerves instantly tensed up. Devil Fruit were among the most precious treasures on the sea, possessing boundless power and potential.
"Hmm?" He was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself. Gild Tesoro's collection was definitely not ordinary. So, he slowly put down the Devil Fruit he had picked up, deciding to listen to Ata's description first.
"Tell me quickly, what kind of Devil Fruit is it?" His voice betrayed a hint of urgency.
Ata clearly sensed his anticipation and quickly said, "Logia Static-Static Fruit! Although it's not as powerful as Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it's definitely a top-tier Devil Fruit!"
The Static-Static Fruit's power immediately came to his mind; this Logia ability would undoubtedly bring a huge advantage in battle.
"And the other one?" he pressed, his anticipation growing stronger.
