The powers of the three Devil Fruit fused together within Uchiha Xin.
Darkness swallowed the lightning.
Lightning flashed through the darkness once more.
The power of transparency covered the outermost layer, completely erasing the aura of both powers.
[Ding! The fusion of the three Devil Fruit essences has been successful!]
[The host has gained a brand new special ability!]
Uchiha Xin raised his right hand.
A ball of dark lightning condensed in his palm.
It lacks the blinding light of ordinary lightning.
The internal electric arc was almost black, with only a few purple-blue streaks along the edges.
As soon as the lightning appeared, the surrounding light converged into his palm.
It's not that it's being blocked.
Instead, it was forcibly swallowed up.
The nearby sea level also sank.
A large expanse of seawater moved toward the location of the lightning, even dragging along the wreckage of a ship floating in the distance.
Uchiha Xin's five fingers were slightly spread.
The black lightning did not expand.
Its gravitational pull suddenly intensifies.
Click!
A gap has appeared at the edge of the reef.
Several rocks detached from the ground and flew into the air.
The rock was shattered by the internal lightning before it even came into direct contact with the light.
The pebbles were swallowed by darkness again, leaving no trace.
The entire process was silent.
There was no fluctuation in power.
Robin was standing right next to Uchiha Xin, but all she could see was the reef suddenly cracking open and the rocks disappearing into thin air.
Her Flower-Flower Fruit also reacted.
That wasn't the helplessness one felt when encountering Seastone.
Rather, it is a suppression originating from the very essence of the fruit.
It was as if, if she got too close to that Black Lightning, her Flower-Flower Fruit would be forcibly dragged away and completely devoured.
Robin immediately took half a step back.
She raised her arm, trying to grow an eye on a distant rock.
The petals had barely appeared when they began to drift toward Uchiha Xin's palm.
The eye wasn't even fully formed.
Snap!
The petals detached from the rock and were pulled into the black lightning by an invisible force.
Vanished in the blink of an eye.
Robin looked down at his hands.
The Flower-Flower Fruit there.
Their abilities were not impaired.
However, the power of the fruit within her body did indeed manifest an instinctive fear just now.
She had never encountered such a reaction before.
Even when facing Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit, it's just a difference in their abilities.
The Black Lightning before them seemed to be the natural enemy of all Devil Fruit.
Once it comes into contact, even the very essence of the fruit may be swallowed up.
"What kind of lightning is that?"
Robin looked at Uchiha Xin's palm again.
"It possesses more than just the destructive power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
"And then there's the attraction and absorption of the Dark-Dark Fruit."
"My power was suppressed when I activated the Flower-Flower Fruit just now."
Uchiha Xin clenched his fists.
The Black Lightning then disappeared.
The sea has returned to calm.
The debris, dragged nearby by gravity, fell down.
"The power resulting from the fusion of the Dark-Dark Fruit, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the Clear-Clear Fruit."
Uchiha Xin flexed his fingers.
"Lightning can be concealed."
"Darkness can also be concealed."
Even the fluctuations generated by devouring and pulling will not be perceived or detected.
"As for the fruit suppression, it's simply an inherent effect of the Dark-Dark Fruit."
This effect was clearly enhanced after system integration.
When Blackbeard uses Black Vortex, he must first pull the user in front of him and then touch the user's body with his hand.
Only by maintaining contact can the target's Devil Fruit be temporarily sealed.
Uchiha Xin doesn't need to go through all that trouble anymore.
When Black Lightning strikes a Devil Fruit user, the lightning will first destroy the body, while the darkness will suppress and devour the power of the fruit.
The Clear-Clear Fruit can also conceal the attack process.
Observation Haki cannot be detected in advance.
Even if the opponent possesses Logia elemental abilities, it's still difficult to avoid.
Robin listened, still staring at the hand that had just gathered lightning.
"No one on the high seas has ever possessed three Devil Fruit abilities at the same time."
"Not to mention fusing the three fruits into a single power."
"Xin, your strength has improved a lot again."
She spoke very calmly.
But the tremor from the Flower-Flower Fruit had not completely disappeared.
That kind of suppression from the source cannot be faked.
If Uchiha Xin were to attack Blackbeard again now, the Dark-Dark Fruit would no longer offer any advantage.
With the same dark power, Blackbeard would be completely suppressed.
Uchiha Xin casually said:
" Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit is interesting."
"I drew some inspiration from his abilities."
"This just allowed the original lightning to break through its limitations."
Robin didn't press the matter.
She had already witnessed too many of Uchiha Xin's extraordinary methods.
Sand control.
Rainfall.
Spatial transfer.
Manipulating gravity.
Absorb the Poneglyph.
There is also Divine Palace capable of destroying an island in a single blow.
Now, adding another type of Black Lightning wouldn't be so unacceptable.
When it comes to Uchiha Xin, common sense doesn't really matter.
"I see."
Robin nodded.
Blackbeard's abilities are indeed unique.
"Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have developed the Dark-Dark Fruit to its true limit."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have lost so quickly."
Even the most prized fruit depends on who gets it.
Uchiha Xin glanced in the direction Blackbeard had fled.
" Teach has a good physique and good ambition."
"But their strength is far too lacking."
Robin did not refute.
Blackbeard dared to hide in the Whitebeard Pirates for many years and even dared to kill his own crewmate to steal the Dark-Dark Fruit, so he is clearly no ordinary pirate.
But in front of Uchiha Xin, he was not much different from Crocodile.
Once their reliance on certain abilities was directly countered, they had no choice but to abandon their crew and flee for their lives.
Uchiha Xin no longer pays attention to Blackbeard.
He turned around and looked at the boundless sea.
All that remained were the shipwrecks and the reef island.
The pirate ship, which could have been used for travel, was completely destroyed by his attack.
" Robin-chan."
Which direction is Fish-Man Island in?
Robin raised his hand to tidy up his black hair, which had been ruffled by the sea breeze.
She first looked at the position of the sun, then observed the ocean currents and distant islands.
She then took out a nautical chart from the documents she carried with her.
After falling from the Sky Island, the two did not return to the sea area they had left from.
Given that Blackbeard's ship has already sailed some distance, its current location needs to be reconfirmed.
Robin unfolded the sea chart.
Her fingers first landed near Jaya Island, then moved along the direction of the ocean current.
A moment later, she pointed to the left front.
We are now in the first half of the Grand Line.
"Continue sailing in this direction, and you will gradually approach the Red Line."
Fish-Man Island is located 10,000 meters below the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
"To enter via the normal shipping route, the vessel needs to first travel to the Sabaody Archipelago to have its coating applied."
"Then we'll use a coated vessel to dive into the deep sea."
Uchiha Xin put away the sea chart.
"Having a clear direction is enough."
Robin did not let go immediately.
She looked up at Uchiha Xin.
"There's one more thing."
"What?"
"Don't add 'sauce' after my name."
After Robin finished speaking, he folded the nautical chart.
"I don't like that title."
