Chapter 140 - 140 - Appearance Of The Dark Fruit
Nami rolled her eyes in the face of Will\'s mockery. Although she wanted to strengthen her attack methods, she was obviously still in the elementary stage of how to combine the bubble devil fruit\'s abilities with the various Dial from the Sky island to create new moves.
For example, the shock bubble developed with the aid of a shock dial that can knock an ordinary pirate more than ten meters away!
Another example is the "mirage" developed in conjunction with the video dial, which is a bubble clone that can confuse the enemy.
Another example is...
Nami is a genius, no doubt about that, but the stamina consumed by using Devil Fruit is the biggest weakness she had when she was in battle.
Koby is much better in this regard, but without the naval six styles as a means of attack, there is only so much strength that can be achieved with ordinary kicks and punches.
In this regard, Will and Issho, who have a unique fighting style, can\'t help him much, and what they can emphasize every day is only the basics.
Anyway, Koby is still young, and it\'s also true that only with a solid foundation can he go far in the future.
After Nami and Koby returned, Will first let Issho throw every pirate into the sea, and then lifted his hand and destroyed the ship with a thunderbolt. Whether they could wait for rescue depends on their lives.
As for the treasure on the ship, it was quietly taken away by Will a long time ago, and there was not much of it.
Looking back overlooking their path, the precipitation in the first half of the Grand Line was here, it was time...
"Let\'s go! Our Destination: The New World!"
.....
Meanwhile, somewhere in the sea of the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates had just finished a battle with a band of pirates who had come to challenge them, not knowing if they were dead or alive.
Not everyone\'s name was Ace, and not everyone had inherited the will of \'D\'.
So the band of pirates just quietly disappeared into the world without Whitebeard\'s help, with only the Division Commander and their men easily taking care of the challenger.
Since the main attacker was the fourth division, it was customary for the fourth division to be the first to pick out the items of their choice when selecting the loot.
To his sons, Whitebeard had never been stingy, and at his point, the amount of treasure was unimportant, so whoever wanted it could just go to the treasure vault and get it himself!
Because of this, the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates have never had any fights over anything, and have always been in harmony as a real family.
Even whoever finds the devil\'s fruit will not be envied, but will instead ridicule with a few words, and trick the other party into eating it for the show.
This is true for the Whitebeard Pirates, and the same is true for the original Roger Pirates. Otherwise, the redhead would not have been guilty of \'forcing\' Buggy to eat the devil fruit for so long. In his opinion Buggy strength stagnation is because of his devil fruit.
If a Devil Fruit is placed in an unpopular group of pirates, it will cause a bloodbath to determine the final outcome.
It was due to this rule that the fourth division captain Thatch triumphantly returned to the ship with a devil fruit after counting the trophies.
"Yo, Thatch! That\'s quite a haul this time!" As soon as they met, Ace greeted him happily. When he first joined the Whitebeard Pirate, Thatch was the first crew member to talk to him, and the friendship between the two grew deeper and deeper, and every time they fought the enemy, they would support each other like brothers.
"Haha, it\'s okay~" Thatch\'s tone was modest but he was proud of it in his heart. Who would have thought that this group of pirates would be stupid to challenge their pirate group?
"The first time I saw him, I was so proud of him that I didn\'t think he\'d be able to do anything about it," he said.
"Is this even possible? What a loss! I should have just gone!" Vista said as he made everyone laugh with his funny face!
A devil fruit was just a devil fruit, worth showing off as a trophy, but that was all, and no one took it seriously.
Instead, Ace was curious and asked, "Thatch, are you going to keep this devil fruit for yourself?"
The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates are not all devil fruit users, not even Thatch, or Vista, the captain of the Fifth Division, who was just acting weird...
For them, a powerful devil fruit can bring their strength to a new level, just like their Oyaji Whitebeard did, but if they eat a devil fruit that doesn\'t match their own, their strength may also be greatly reduced, and the loss will outweigh the gain.
So no one can be too cautious about such a thing!
Thatch obviously hadn\'t thought about whether or not to eat it, so he simply said, "I\'m not sure what this Devil Fruit\'s ability is yet, let\'s wait until I figure it out."
"Right, looking at the colour and pattern, it\'s different from the Devil Fruit I\'ve seen before, maybe it\'s a particularly rare Devil Fruit."
"Haha, it\'s possible! I\'m going to ask Teach to borrow the Devil\'s Fruit Illustrated Book and show it off by the way.
"He should be able to recognize this fruit." Ace nodded with a smile, as Teach is also a good friend of theirs.
The others, as soon as Thatch left, returned to their usual normal ways, drinking and playing cards, joking and laughing in a lively manner.
....
"Teach! Teach!"
"Look what it is! I\'ve just gotten my hands on a trophy, how\'s that..."
"Hurry up and take out the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book and help me see what this Devil Fruit is capable of? How come I haven\'t seen this pattern before..."
"Teach? What\'s wrong with you?"
Unlike Thatch\'s enthusiastic attitude, Teach\'s eyes were fixed on the devil\'s fruit in his hand the moment he walked in!
That\'s it!
This is it!
The devil\'s fruit I\'ve been dreaming of!
Teach, who turns to that page almost every night when he goes to sleep, can never be mistaken about it!
Every trace of the pattern is deeply engraved in his mind and cannot be erased!
But why wasn\'t I the one who got it!
Why!
"Teach, do you think I could beat the shit out of Marco if I ate it!"
Thatch, who just felt that something was wrong with Teach today, was still rambling...
And when he heard that Thatch was going to eat the Devil Fruit, Teach immediately grinned a sardonic grin!
"I think so!"
