Battle Blackbeard Again (2)

Right after that.

Blackbeard Teach directly unleashed his Dark-Dark Fruit power.

He immediately used the Dark-Dark Fruit's power to spread darkness across a wide area of the ground. Anything or anyone touched by the darkness would be sucked downward, compressed, and crushed. It was like a small black hole, and its range was immense.

It even directly enveloped Roya.

At the same time!

A powerful surge of Dark Matter erupted from Roya's body as well.

The Dark Matter that had been about to devour Roya was instead devoured by Roya in reverse!

"W-What?!"

"My Dark-Dark Fruit power!"

"No, how is that
