" Olvia! The sniper role is yours now. Don't kill him; I still have a big use for him!"
" Hancock! That old man and the sick horse are yours to do with as you please, just be careful!"
After Vic knocked Blackbeard away, he called out to the two women. Now, he was only focused on Blackbeard, until he died!
Of course, it's also because they have confidence in Olvia and Hancock. Van Augur is already locked up in Olvia's private world, so she can do whatever she wants with him!
As for Doc Q and Stronger Horse? Vic hadn't seen them fight, but auras don't lie. Stronger Horse's flying ability was a bit of a problem, but Hancock had ranged attacks, so Vic wasn't worried. Even if they did escape, so what? Vic didn't care about their lives at all!
"OK!"
"Give it to me!"
The two women agreed and went to their respective opponents. Olvia came to the Desktop World she had created and looked at what Van Augur was doing inside.
She discovered that Van Augur had found a place to hide, warily observing his surroundings, not daring to move at all, and his clothes were tattered and he looked extremely disheveled!
Not far from where he was hiding, many ferocious beasts of various appearances were searching for something; clearly, they were looking for Van Augur!
This is a Warcraft world designed by Olvia, featuring various powerful sea, land, and air monsters. These monsters possess high intelligence, comparable to humans, and can use various types of magic, some similar to Devil Fruit abilities, but belonging to a different power system. Therefore, Van Augur's Devil Fruit abilities are essentially banned in this world!
After glancing at it, Olvia immediately transformed into a tiny figure and entered the Desktop World, afraid that if she was too late, Van Augur would be eaten by the monsters!
On the other side, Hancock also approached Doc Q and Stronger Stronger. Doc Q is Devil Fruit User the Disease-Disease Fruit, which is a Paramecia- type ability that allows him to spread various diseases!
Previously, Law was transformed into a woman because of his ability, and it was only through Haki that he was able to break free. The fact that Law's Haki was able to neutralize Doc Q's Devil Fruit ability shows that his power is not as strong as imagined.
It could be that the ability was acquired too recently, or it could be that the ability to develop that ability is too weak, and the rule-based ability was not fully developed!
It's important to understand that any ability related to rules is incredibly powerful, like Perona's Hollow-Hollow Fruit and Sugar's Hobby-Hobby Fruit. So, if Law can neutralize an ability with Haki, it's nothing to Hancock. Don't they know which country the Empress grew up in?
" Thunder God Vic! You are indeed powerful, but your lightning is not entirely unbreakable!"
Blackbeard wasn't killed by Vic's attack. He wasn't that fragile. Or rather, the people in this world are very resilient. Apart from the pain being doubled when his body was injured, Blackbeard was still very durable. Even if one-fifth of his cells died, it still didn't affect his actions!
After hearing Blackbeard's weak words, Vic saw Blackbeard prop himself up and sit up. Then, his entire body was enveloped by an unidentified black substance emerging from his palm. From the outside, it looked a bit like the elemental transformation of Logia Fruit, but the Dark-Dark Fruit doesn't have this ability!
In just two breaths, the black substance on Blackbeard's body flowed back into his palm. At this moment, the black substance was surging wildly in his palm, as if a ferocious beast was struggling to escape from the black substance's embrace. Even Blackbeard's palm was swaying from side to side, as if it was difficult to grasp!
Blackbeard held on for a few more breaths, his expression growing increasingly ferocious. Sweat poured from his forehead, and his chest heaved violently. He still found that his Dark Water was simply unable to absorb the powerful energy in his palm. If he wasn't careful, it would explode in his palm. So he could only fling the energy away far away!
"The damage you left inside me has been neutralized, so your lightning isn't insurmountable!"
Blackbeard spent a considerable amount of time absorbing and compressing the life-destroying power that Vic had left inside him into his palm using the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit!
That force destroyed 20% of the cells in his body. Now that the force has been absorbed, the necrotic cells in his body have recovered, and his internal injuries are almost completely healed!
Blackbeard could absorb that power and transfer it to his palm, but he couldn't devour it with the Dark-Dark Fruit's power. He could only throw it out of his body. But that was enough for Blackbeard to be proud of. He didn't realize that such a long time was enough for Vic to attack him dozens of times!
A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it an aura of endless death. Blackbeard slightly turned his head to look at the source of the wind, the direction from which he had just unleashed that burst of energy!
What was once a lush and verdant forest has silently transformed into a lifeless wasteland, with all the leaves of the trees vanished without a trace!
Death permeated all the tree trunks. With a gust of wind, the standing tree trunks danced in the wind and turned into dust that disappeared into the earth!
Blackbeard felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat as he witnessed this. He had actually dared to try and devour that lifeless energy; he was simply courting death!
"Not bad! You were actually able to absorb and transfer that life-destroying power. I underestimated you!"
Vic was genuinely impressed. He truly hadn't expected Blackbeard to pull off such a brilliant move, using the powerful attraction of the Dark-Dark Fruit to draw out the life-destroying force that had invaded his body, thus reviving 20% of his lifeless cells!
This is strikingly similar to Enel giving himself an electric shock or Doflamingo performing surgery on his internal organs with threads!
Vic saw this move by Blackbeard, which is why he didn't press his advantage and instead gave him time to catch his breath.
Vic wanted to see just how far Blackbeard could go, and when he finally realized that Blackbeard could only transfer the damage but not erase it, Vic knew where Blackbeard's limits lay!
Although the Dark-Dark Fruit is powerful, it is not even in the same league as the Power of Law God Level law. As long as he keeps attacking or increases the intensity of his attacks, Blackbeard will not be able to absorb or transfer the power!
"What kind of power is that? The power of lightning? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There can't be any power in this world stronger than the Dark-Dark Fruit! Tell me quickly, what kind of power is that?"
Seeing the lifeless, now-vanished forest, Blackbeard began to doubt his Devil Fruit ability. Vic overturned his long-held beliefs, driving him to the brink of hysteria!
He endured decades of hardship and humiliation to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit, yet now he can't even control other Devil Fruit abilities. What was the point of all those years of humility and subservience?
Meanwhile, Blackbeard's teeth were constantly changing. Every time he opened his mouth, the arrangement of his teeth was different. Sometimes he was missing two teeth in the upper row, sometimes three in the lower row, and sometimes he had two rows of neat teeth. Vic was dumbfounded. Could this be possible?
"You can't comprehend that kind of power. An ambitious person like you will never focus on power itself, but rather treat it as a tool or means. You can't see that world!"
Vic wasn't talking nonsense. Some people focus on power itself and study it diligently! Others use power as a means to seize power and gain profit, merely a tool to be used. Would such people care about the essence of power? Of course not!
Vic's ultimate goal is freedom, but his freedom is the freedom of power returning to oneself, the freedom gained through one's own strength. The two value completely different things!
Vic knew that to gain freedom, one had to become powerful, while Blackbeard stole the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit he coveted their power; he was merely using their immense strength to achieve his own ambitions!
Therefore, Blackbeard wouldn't spend a lot of time understanding the essence of Devil Fruit abilities. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to recruit more subordinates and acquire more powerful Devil Fruit abilities? If one person's strength isn't enough, just amass more manpower. Anyway, there are plenty of ambitious people out there!
