2 02 Dark-Dark Fruit Choos Me!

"Black Hole!" 

Teach laughed and unleashed the power of the Dark-dark Fruit.

Darkness emanated from his palm and slowly spread across the ground!

"Run!"

"He must be a Devil Fruit user!"

The townspeople began to scatter in fear!

"Quick, run! The captain's using his Devil Fruit power!"

Van Augur quickly ran towards the mountain with Doc Q.

"It's just a small town. Is the boss overdoing it?" 

After Burgess spoke, he also made a run for it.

On the other hand, Lafite transformed into his white dove form using the Bird Fruit. His hands turned into white wings, and he soared into the air.

By now, the black hole had engulfed nearly the entire town!

Before they could react, some people were drawn into the infinite black hole.

The black hole kept expanding until it eventually blanketed the entire town.

At that moment, Teach could sense the terrifying destructive power within the black hole!

He directly absorbed the town into the dark void, and in an instant, the spot where the town once stood was replaced by darkness.

In the people eyes, the darkness converged towards Teach, ultimately transforming into a black smoke hovering above his head. The town's original location was now engulfed.

A wasteland!

"Gone!"

The original townsfolk gasped, their eyes widening.

"The town is gone!"

"What a terrifying power!"

Unbelievable exclamations echoed.

"Liberation!"

Teach once again manipulated the black smoke. The town, previously drawn into the black hole by the dark void, had been dismantled and reduced to ruins before being released.

"How can this be!"

The survivors in the town stared at the remnants of their once-thriving home.

If they hadn't witnessed it firsthand, they wouldn't have believed what they saw.

What kind of strength would it take to do such a terrifying thing?

Their town, gone in an instant...

[Ding! Congratulations to the owner for finishing the novice task and getting a novice gift pack!]

"Open the novice gift pack."

Teach decided to open it right away. He was curious to see what he could get in the novice gift pack.

[The novice gift pack is open! Congratulations to the owner for gaining immunity to pain!]

When Teach heard the news, Teach's eyes grew wilder, and he burst into laughter.

"Zeehahaha, interesting, interesting! "

This ability might be useless for other Devil Fruit users, but it is a very precious ability for him.

With the Dark-Dark Fruit, he can experience pain several times more intense than ordinary people. With this ability, he can do as he pleases.

Quite a feat!

"Is the captain out of his mind?" 

Burgess glanced at Teach, who was laughing, and nervously cleared his throat.

"I can't shake the feeling that the captain has changed..."

Burgess suddenly shivered.

"Captain, what's going on?" Van Augur inquired.

"Try shooting me" 

Teach looked at Van Augur and suggested.

"Shoot you?"

Confusion crossed Van Augur's face, as he knew that his captain would experience pain several times more than ordinary people due to the Dark Fruit.

"Just shoot!"

Teach insisted.

Feeling the urgency in Teach's words, he suddenly decided to take the shot!

"Snap!"

The bullet struck Teach's chest.

Teach could sense a wound forming on his chest, but he couldn't feel any pain!

Then darkness enveloped the wound, and the injury he had just sustained vanished instantly

Unlike other Logia fruits, the Dark-Dark Fruit cannot evade damage and do elementalization

Even though his body is a solid entity, he has the ability to absorb damage. He can take any hit as much as he wants!

Without feeling pain, he can absorb limitless damage.

"The captain didn't cry out in pain!"

Van Augur's eyes suddenly widened!

"What's happening? Doesn't the Dark Fruit make you feel several times the pain?"

Burgess exclaimed in disbelief.

"As mysterious as the captain's strange body..."

After witnessing it, Doc Q had no choice but to comment.

"Regardless, with this, our captain has become stronger!"

Burgess descended from the air, gazing at Teach with increased respect.

"Zeehahahaha! ! ! "

Teach laughed loudly, and his laughter made people who just ran out of town feel chills in their backs.

What kind of madman is this?

"Teach, you seem to have acquired quite good abilities..."

At that moment, Ace emerged from behind the ruins.

"It's Captain Ace. I thought I'd have to wait much longer."

Teach looked at Ace with ambition in his eyes.

If he capture Ace and hand him over to the marines , he can ignite a massive war at Marineford!

Plus, he can reap huge benefits from the Summit War. A win-win!

"Sounds like you've been expecting me?"

Ace's face revealed a hint of surprise.

"Of course, if I catch you and hand you over to the Marines, I can become a Shichibukai straight away."

Teach responded with a smile.

"Teach, so your goals is to become a Shichibukai? But before, you obviously didn't want to compete with me for the position of 2nd division commander."

Ace narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"Zeehahaha, who wouldn't set their goals on being a Shichibukai? Obtaining that title is just a step toward my true goal."

Teach said with a faint smile, his words prompting deep contemplation from Ace.

"You have great ambitions. Could it be that the reason you killed Thatch was to obtain the Dark-dark Fruit?"

Ace inquired once more.

"Get the Dark-dark Fruit? The Dark-dark Fruit choose me, and only I am fit to wield this power!"

"I spent decades with the Whitebeard Pirates for this fruit, and just when I was about to give up, it finally appeared! It's fate!"

Teach laughed loudly while showing his ambition.
