Dark Fruit!

He is no stranger to the 'Dark fruit'.

In the world of One Piece, this fruit belongs to Marshall D. Teach, Luffy's hardcore antagonist,The mastermind behind the naval war for Gold D. Ace, The Killer of Sachi, The only human with only 2 fruits and it's rumored that he had 1 more.

Now let´s talk about the dark fruit , or , yami yami no mi.

The Yami Yami no Mi is a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create, control, and transform into darkness at will, making the user a Darkness Human. 

The major strength of this particular fruit, the darkness that the user turns into which swallows up everything, is also its major weakness.

Since the darkness also absorbs attacks, the user of the fruit is still vulnerable in battle, which does not pass through the darkness they turn into.

If they fail to absorb an attack in time, the user can be hurt like any other normal human being or even more, as stated by Teach.

Unlike other Logia fruits, the Yami Yami no Mi does not seem to give Blackbeard access to an elemental state where he can disperse, reform, or regenerate his body.

When a Logia user transform into their element , this still has the "Real" body inside.

Despite not being tangible and visible.

That´s why when someone use Kairoseki on them , they can grab them directly.

The Kairoseki negate the fruit ability and let´s you touch a logia person.

(This is explained in the One piece manga 441)

Now with that being said we can explain why Blackbeard can elementerize.

Basically some abilities of his DF are based on gravity, similar to a black hole that absorbs light and matter.

That is why if someone attacks a user of this DF the attack is redirected to his center of gravity.

Add the attack to the gravity of that space , you have the reason why the attacks do double damage and why he can´t elementirise.

He can transform himself in darkness tho.

While the fruit's ability to nullify Devil Fruit abilities is very powerful, it does not seem to be perfect.

The user must actually touch and remain in contact with the victim for the effects to remain constant, meaning that if the victim is separated from the user's physical touch, they will quickly regain their Devil Fruit abilities.

However, it seems this power can be overcome in certain situations. It appears as if the Devil Fruit nullification aspect of the fruit requires the conscious activation of the user, as seen when Whitebeard managed to activate his powers despite having his hand wrapped around Blackbeard's neck, with the latter noticeably being too panic-stricken at the time after receiving a slash wound from the Emperor earlier.

It is also possible that Blackbeard is required to touch the other user with his hands, and his hands only, in order to nullify their abilities (as with the case of other hand activated Devil Fruits).

However, it seems that touching bare skin is not required, as Blackbeard was capable of nullifying Luffy's powers at Impel Down by touching his clothes, overall suggesting that his hand must be touching the person or material on the person for it to work.

This seems to be a non-issue, considering the aforementioned attraction ability due to his powers, if the opponent is strong enough to break his grip without the aid of their Devil Fruit, they will regain their respective Devil Fruit powers.

Other than that, the user is also affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

But this cannot conceal the fact that the 'Dark fruit' is awesome!

Moreover, this is the 'Dark fruit' produced by the system.

God knows to what extent it can be developed in the future.

Maybe it will be able to derive changes imagine that a powerfull telepath invade your mind and you absorb that telepath and store him in the space of the dark fruit and leave it there, or protect your soul with darkness to absorb any soul attack or i could corrode that soul attack with the darkness, maybe absorb the soul for me and improve my soul? Same with the telepath.

*Sigh*

They really didn´t utilice the dark fruit to the fullest in the manga and the anime.

Maybe because they didn´t have crativity or they were bad users or they diddn´t know these things.

The gold level fruit is well deserved!

In all conscience, Richard really never thought that he could get a gold-level fruit, and he was even a little worried about whether he would be unlucky enough to get a bronze-level fruit or even a black-iron level fruit.

All he wanted was to perform normally. Unexpectedly, his luck was good and he got a gold level fruit.

"How should I take the 'Dark fruit' and take it out?" Richard asked impatiently.

[The host can choose to take it out and take it by himself, or he can choose to directly extract its Ability] 

"Just extract it!" Richard made a decision after thinking for a while.

He remembered that the taste of the original Devil Fruit was not very good, what if this one was the same? Just extract it directly.

[The 'Dark Fruit' is being extracted...]

[The extraction was successful!]

"Host: Richard Fisk"

"Ability: Martial arts Lv.4 (10/16), Proficient in firearms Lv.4 (8/16) Military Fighting technique Lv.5 (20/32)"

"Witness Point: 100 Points"

…

After a while, Richard felt that he was different.

There were already some instinctive memories and feelings in his mind, and he knew that this should be the ability of the 'Dark fruit'.

"Darkness--"

Richard suddenly raised his right hand, and a black kind of sustance extended from his hand to his forearm appear.

However, it is obvious that the level 1 'Dark fruit' cannot yet keep up with the level of development of Blackbeard.

"Is this the limit?..." Richard could feel that the Black thing that was enveloped his arm was already the limit of the darkness he could create at present , much less control. If he wanted to create more it would be a lot more difficult.

"What's wrong, master, did I pinch you in pain?" Ned, who was squeezing Richard's shoulders, saw his master suddenly raised his hand, and thought it was because he didn't have enough strength, so he pinched this young man. The master was pinched and hurt.

"Ned while i apreciated the massage , could you stop?"

"Yes Master"

One has to admit that absolute loyalty is really conforting.

After all, he couldn't have known that just a moment ago, his master had actually been bound to the [The One Piece System] and had also obtained a gold-level fruit.

"Can't you see?" Richard was stunned for a moment.

"What can't you see?" Ned looked confused.

You really can't see it?

Seeing that Ned´s expression didn't look fake, Richard realized that Ned couldn't see the Darkness he created!

But the problem is, whether it was the darkness created by the 'Dark Fruit' from his 'God's perspective' in his previous life, or the Darkness he saw with his own eyes at the moment, they were Black. So why Ned can't see it?

"Could it be that... because I am the owner of the Darkness, it is visible to me, but to others my Darkness is completely transparent, so Ned can't see it?" Richard It gradually became clear in my heart.

He suddenly raised his hand to create darkness in the form of smoke just now. Of course it was because he was so excited about gaining extraordinary power for the first time, but it was also because he had no intention of hiding it from Ned.

Ned is the personal assistant + housekeeper + bodyguard + driver + etc. That his cheap dad found for him.

In the future he will be his own wesley so he will be his right hand.

Having a loyal intelligent guy is always a plus in his dictionary.

 Although no one has ever pointed this out, Everyone knows it.

It's just that judging from his original memory, this guy has never talked to Ned so much. Moreover, the previous Richard, has never touched any women at all, this kind of people is commonly known as virgins.

As the son of the dignified New York gangster Kingpin, he is still a virgin. No one would believe it.

You know, his body is already sixteen years old after all.

In North America, even for boys of this age, even if they are ordinary children, falling in love and everything is as normal as eating and drinking.

When Richard was this age in his previous life, he was no longer a virgin.

It turns out that he has countless opportunities to say goodbye to his virginity, but he has never done so. The reason is also very simple, because this guy had a crush on a girl who met one time and doesn't want that girl to look down on him... His secondary thoughts on this guy , Richard simply couldn't complain.

But no matter what, Ned is definitely a trustworthy person, and Richard has no intention of keeping his ability a secret.

It is impossible for him to secretly use the ability of the 'Dark Fruit' all his life. Therefore, people close to him like Ned will find out sooner or later.

It is better to show it on his own initiative. At the worst, he can just say that he suddenly Awakened the power.

Anyway, there are a lot of people with extraordinary powers in this world, so it wouldn't be surprising if you find any reason.

Unexpectedly, Ned couldn't see the Darkness he created, and the words he prepared were useless. This was very embarrassing...

"It's okay, it seemed like a mosquito flew by just now. I wonder if I caught it." Richard said casually.

After hearing this, Ned confirmed that it was not his heavy hand that hurt his master, and he felt relieved.

But he believed Richard's words and thought he had really seen mosquitoes. He quickly stood up and said, "Are there mosquitoes here? Master, please wait for me here for a while. I'll go find the flight attendant for some mosquito repellent..."

After saying that, Ned had opened the box door and walked out, then closed the door behind him.

Seeing that Ned actually ran to the flight attendant to ask for mosquito repellent, Richard suddenly felt dumbfounded, but he couldn't stop Ned at this time. He couldn't say that he was just talking nonsense, right?

"Forget it, let's just take the opportunity to think about the changes in the barrier." Richard shook his head and thought.
