3 Ark Maxim

With a sinister gleam in his eyes, Blackbeard surveyed the ruins of the Ark Maxim, a legendary flying ship steeped in ancient power. Beside him, Enel stood ready, his newfound wings shimmering with celestial radiance.

"Enel, take me to the Ark Maxim," Blackbeard commanded, his voice carrying the weight of authority. With a nod of compliance, Enel spread his wings and guided Blackbeard towards the ancient vessel.

As they approached the Ark Maxim, its towering silhouette loomed ominously against the sky, a testament to its former glory. Enel landed gracefully upon its deck, the air crackling with anticipation.

"Captain, it's still not complete," Enel cautioned, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

Blackbeard, undeterred by the ship's current state, turned to the upgrade system for guidance. "System, how much to complete it?" he inquired, his tone laced with determination.

The upgrade system responded without hesitation. "Host, it will take 8 billion to complete the Ark Maxim," it intoned, its digital voice echoing through the air. "And for each additional 5 billion, you may choose an attribute to be added to the ship."

Blackbeard wasted no time in making his decision. "Complete it," he commanded, his gaze fixed upon the ancient vessel. "And add the attributes of regeneration and invincibility to the ship."

With a surge of dark energy, the Ark Maxim began to undergo a miraculous transformation. Its shattered hull repaired itself, and an aura of invincibility enveloped its form, rendering it impervious to harm.

As the upgrades took hold, the Ark Maxim gleamed with renewed vitality, ready to soar once more into the skies under Blackbeard's command. With his flagship restored to its former glory and imbued with newfound power, Blackbeard knew that nothing could stand in his way as he pursued his quest for ultimate domination.

With 50 billion berries remaining in his possession, Blackbeard's eyes glinted with avarice as he contemplated his next move. "System," he commanded, his voice dripping with ambition, "store the remaining berries for future use. We may have need of them in our journey towards ultimate power."

The atmosphere in the village grew tense as Blackbeard and Enel entered, their presence casting a shadow over the villagers. Trembling with fear and awe, the villagers prostrated themselves before Enel, hailing him as a god.

But Enel, with a solemn expression, declared, "From now on, I am no longer your god. This man beside me is your new deity. Marshal D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard, is the true god of this island, and soon, he will reign over the entire world."

At the mention of Blackbeard's name, a palpable sense of dread washed over the villagers. His aura exuded darkness and malice, sending shivers down their spines.

With a chilling laugh, Blackbeard commanded Enel to bring Conis before him. As Conis stood trembling before him, Blackbeard issued a merciless decree. "Enel, eliminate all rebels except for one: Raki. Spare her life."

Enel, obedient to his new master's command, swiftly departed to carry out the order. With his unmatched power, the rebels stood no chance against him, mere ants before his might.

Turning his attention back to Conis, Blackbeard's demeanor shifted. "Do you wish for the villagers to live?" he asked, his voice laced with malice.

Overwhelmed with fear, Conis pleaded for mercy, her voice trembling. "Yes, god, please spare them," she implored.

In response, Blackbeard issued a cryptic command, leaving Conis in a state of confusion and trepidation. As she realized the implications of his words, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she reluctantly complied with his wishes.

For an hour, Blackbeard and Conis engaged in a fierce battle of wills, their actions shrouded in secrecy and darkness. The outcome of their encounter remained a mystery to all but themselves, leaving the villagers to wonder at the true nature of their god's intentions.

As Enel's voice echoed through the village, Blackbeard turned his attention towards him, a sinister smile playing upon his lips. "Excellent, Enel. You have done well," he praised, his eyes glinting with satisfaction.

Raki, defiant to the end, struggled against her captors, her words laced with venom. But Blackbeard paid her no mind, his focus unwavering as he addressed Enel once more. "Enel, let your minions take control of the islands for now. This village will serve as our secret base," he commanded, his tone brooking no argument.

With a nod of understanding, Enel swiftly relayed Blackbeard's orders to his minions, ensuring that the villagers would remain unharmed under their watchful eye.

In no time, Enel returned with his ship, ready to ferry Blackbeard, Conis, and the captive Raki to their next destination. As they boarded the vessel, Raki's resistance continued unabated, prompting Enel to quell her defiance with a single command of his King's Haki, rendering her unconscious.

With their preparations complete, the ship set sail into the darkened horizon, leaving the village behind as they embarked on their journey towards the fulfillment of Blackbeard's dark ambitions. And as the wind whispered tales of treachery and conquest, the true extent of their malevolent intentions remained shrouded in shadow, known only to those who dared to walk the path of darkness.

As Enel awaited his next command, Blackbeard's eyes gleamed with dark intent. "System, add two more attributes to the ship: self-navigation and noise cancellation," he ordered, his voice carrying the weight of authority.

With a surge of dark energy, the upgrade system complied, imbuing the Ark Maxim with newfound capabilities. But Blackbeard, confident in the ship's capabilities, waved off the need for manual control. "No need to steer, the ship has an auto-navigation system," he declared with a smirk.

With the destination set for Arabasta, Blackbeard retreated to his quarters, where Conis and Raki lay on the bed. Conis had already divulged the grim reality of their situation to Raki, who remained defiant in the face of Blackbeard's advances.

Ignoring Raki's pleas for mercy, Blackbeard discarded his clothes and indulged in his desires, Raki's cries falling on deaf ears. Despite her resistance, Raki found herself powerless against Blackbeard's relentless assault, her form gradually transforming under his touch.

Meanwhile, Enel honed his skills in the ship's training area, his trident slicing through the air with deadly precision. The Ark Maxim, with its vast facilities and advanced capabilities, provided the perfect environment for Enel to sharpen his abilities and prepare for the challenges that lay ahead.

As the Ark Maxim sailed towards Arabasta, its halls echoed with the sounds of conquest and submission, a testament to Blackbeard's insatiable hunger for power and control. And as the journey continued, the darkness within Blackbeard's heart cast a long shadow over all who dared to oppose him, their fates intertwined with his own malevolent desires.

Emerging from his chamber after three hours of indulgence, Blackbeard's countenance bore the mark of satisfaction, his desires sated for the moment. Yet, as he cast his gaze upon the figures of Raki and Conis, their naked forms trembling upon the bed, his expression remained impassive.

Raki and Conis, drained of strength and dignity, lay vulnerable beneath his gaze, their bodies bearing the scars of Blackbeard's dark desires. But even in their weakened state, a flicker of defiance lingered in their eyes, a silent testament to their resilience in the face of unspeakable cruelty.

Blackbeard, unmoved by their plight, made no attempt to conceal his satisfaction. With a dismissive wave of his hand, he signaled for them to dress and compose themselves, their humiliation serving as a grim reminder of his absolute power over their fate.

As Raki and Conis struggled to regain their composure, their minds reeling from the trauma of their ordeal, Blackbeard turned his attention elsewhere, his thoughts consumed by visions of conquest and dominion.

Enel's voice cut through the air as he announced their arrival in Arabasta, prompting Blackbeard to nod in acknowledgement. "Let's proceed," he declared, his tone filled with determination.

Without hesitation, they leaped from the Ark Maxim, soaring through the skies until they landed within the confines of the royal castle. As they crashed through the roof, they were met with a swarm of guards, their weapons drawn in defense of their king.

But Enel, with a mere display of his King's Haki, rendered the guards unconscious, leaving only Cobra standing before them. Even the king himself, overwhelmed by the sheer force of Enel's Haki, found himself kneeling before the two formidable invaders.

Approaching Cobra with an air of authority, Blackbeard wasted no time in stating his intentions. "Cobra, I've heard that Crocodile is causing trouble in Arabasta. I'll help you deal with him," he offered, his voice carrying a hint of menace. "In return, I expect something from you."

Cobra, recognizing the strength and resolve in Blackbeard's words, agreed to his terms. "Very well, sir. You deal with Crocodile, and I will grant you access to the treasury," he promised, though he warned that it held little wealth.

Undeterred by the size of the treasury, Blackbeard's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he activated his Observation Haki, pinpointing Crocodile's location on the island. With a confident smirk, he assured Cobra, "It won't take much time." 

With relentless fury, Blackbeard stormed into Crocodile's secret base, his presence alone striking fear into the hearts of all who dared to oppose him. Without a moment's hesitation, he launched himself at Crocodile, his fists raining down upon the former Shichibukai with brutal force.

Crocodile, taken off guard by Blackbeard's ferocity, found himself overwhelmed by the onslaught. Each blow delivered by Blackbeard was like a sledgehammer, battering away at his defenses and leaving him reeling in pain.

With a single, devastating punch charged with the ominous power of his Armament Haki, Blackbeard sent Crocodile hurtling through the air, his fearsome Devil Fruit abilities rendered null and void with a mere flick of Blackbeard's will. As Crocodile collided with the chamber walls, Blackbeard wasted no time in unleashing a torrent of merciless blows, each strike a reminder of Crocodile's dwindling strength.

Seizing Crocodile by the throat, Blackbeard held him captive in an iron grip, his gaze piercing and unforgiving as he delivered a scathing assessment. "Look at you now," he taunted, his voice dripping with disdain. "Once hailed as a formidable Shichibukai, now reduced to a mere shadow of your former self."

Compelled to confront the harsh reality of his decline, Crocodile found himself at the mercy of Blackbeard's ultimatum: submit and pledge unwavering allegiance, or face certain obliteration.

"You see that guy there? He is Enel," Blackbeard declared with a mocking tone, gesturing towards the electrifying figure lounging atop a mound of unconscious foes. "He was once like you, so weak. But now, look at him. Even a hundred of you couldn't best him." Enel's mere presence seemed to radiate power, a testament to his transformation under Blackbeard's command.

Crocodile, his pride wounded and his desperation palpable, locked eyes with Blackbeard, his voice tinged with a hint of desperation. "Can you grant me the power to defeat Whitebeard?" he implored, his words echoing with the weight of his ambitions.

In response, Blackbeard erupted into laughter, a dark and menacing sound that reverberated through the chamber. "I can offer you much more than that," he proclaimed, his gaze unwavering as he revealed the tantalizing promise of ultimate power and dominion. "Not only do I possess the knowledge of Pluton's blueprint, but I also command a ship that rivals its might. And soon, Pluton itself will bolster our arsenal, making us unstoppable."

Crocodile, his resolve hardened by the allure of Blackbeard's offer, met the pirate captain's gaze with newfound determination. "Captain," he declared, his voice filled with a fervent eagerness.

With a solemn nod, Blackbeard pressed his forehead against Crocodile's, a gesture laden with significance. "System," he commanded with authority, "upgrade all of his abilities to their zenith. Awaken his Devil Fruit and refine his bloodline to the world's limit."

The air crackled with anticipation as the system hummed to life, its ethereal presence permeating the chamber with arcane energy. In an instant, Crocodile's form seemed to shimmer with newfound power, his very essence resonating with the promise of boundless potential.

Crocodile's eyes ignited with an infernal gleam, a testament to the overwhelming surge of power coursing through his veins. With each passing moment, his stature grew more imposing, his presence an embodiment of dominion and supremacy.

As the upgrade process unfolded, a remarkable transformation swept over Crocodile's form. His once severed hand, a grim reminder of past battles lost, began to regenerate before their very eyes. Flesh and sinew knitted together with a supernatural swiftness, restoring his limb to its former glory.

And as the transformation reached its zenith, Crocodile stood reborn, a paragon of might and mastery. His Devil Fruit abilities awakened to their fullest extent, his bloodline refined to the pinnacle of its potential. In that moment, he stood as a harbinger of Blackbeard's indomitable will, ready to carve his name into the annals of history with every step he took.

With a satisfied smirk, Blackbeard stepped back, his gaze lingering upon his newly empowered subordinate. "Rise, Crocodile," he declared, his voice resounding with pride. "Your ascent to greatness has only just begun."

Crocodile's eyes widened in astonishment, a flicker of horror dancing across his features as he beheld the staggering extent of his newfound power. Blackbeard observed his subordinate's reaction with a knowing smirk, his demeanor tinged with a hint of amusement.

"Don't be too surprised," Blackbeard remarked casually, his voice dripping with confidence. "This is just the beginning."

With a simple command, Blackbeard beckoned to the system, prompting it to unveil Crocodile's newly upgraded statistics. As the data materialized before them, a tangible testament to Crocodile's unparalleled might, the pirate captain's smirk widened into a satisfied grin.
