Chapter 1: Chapter 1. A Cherished Wish Comes True
Grand Line, New World!
On a sea.
Debris from the ship's planks could be seen everywhere, and the heavy iron from the rollers sank into the seabed.
Four huge ships are gathering together.
One of them was dilapidated, with half of its body in the water, already crumbling and about to sink.
The other three ships used their horns to block the dilapidated ship.
On those three ships.
The flag was flying with a skull and a crescent-shaped beard between the nose and teeth.
This is the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Whitebeard Pirates.
The leader of the New World Four Emperors, its captain Whitebeard is also known as the strongest man in the world!
Famous all over the world, resounding throughout the world.
Just be in the New World.
Even if he is just an insignificant passerby, he still knows the name of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Now.
The battle is almost over.
The result is self-evident, the three pirate ships of the Whitebeard Pirates defeated each other.
The opponent's ship has been destroyed, and the pirates on it have suffered numerous casualties.
This is a battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and another pirate group.
Those dispatched were the two captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the second team, is a user with the ability to burn the Burning Fruit. He is a rising star pirate who has risen in the past two years. He has a bounty of 550 million and is famous all over the world.
The captain of the fourth division, Thatch, is the veteran division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. He followed Whitebeard through life and death many years ago.
Except for two people.
There were two other people who were extremely brave in this confrontation.
One is Teach, who once competed for the captaincy of the second team, but ended up handing it over to Ace.
The other one is the deputy of Team 4 Thatch, Ravan, who has been a member of the Whitebeard Pirates for some years.
Ravan??
The white regiment has this number one person???
That's right.
Ravan is a traveler from another world.
A few years ago, he came to the pirate world due to an accident and time-traveled into the body of an eight-year-old child!
What can an eight-year-old do?
Coincidentally, he met the Whitebeard Pirates.
And got Whitebeard's permission to join it smoothly!
When I realized that in the world of pirates, the weak are the strongest, and if they are not strong enough, they will always be ants.
Since then.
Ravan began his years of hard training in the Whitebeard Pirates!
What a pity.
Not everyone is gifted and specialized.
For twelve years, no matter how hard he worked, no matter how hard he practiced, no matter how hard he worked day and night, he, who was not talented enough, could only watch the people around him rise to fame one by one!
However, his progress has always been slow, difficult and difficult, and he is unable to do anything.
To this.
Ravan also sighed repeatedly, time travelers are not omnipotent!
Fortunately, there is always a way out.
Three years ago.
There was finally movement coming from the system that was long overdue.
Just when Ravan was looking forward to it.
The system prompts that you need to obtain the Dark Fruit to fully activate it!
Dark fruit?
Hear this tip.
Ravan couldn't help but feel shocked.
You need to know why Teach was able to gain a foothold in the New World and become the new Four Emperors?
The Dark Fruit is indispensable.
It was even rumored for a while.
The reason why Teach can have dual fruit abilities.
Most of them are closely related to the Dark Fruit!
What the system means...
Are you letting yourself take away Teach's luck?
Seeing this, Ravan suddenly smiled.
To become stronger.
He can do whatever it takes.
The Dark Fruit is the top Devil Fruit in the New World!
Compared to the thunder fruit, compared to the shaking fruit, etc., it is no less.
How could Ravan not be moved? What about a mere dark fruit?
If only it were that simple. That couldn't be better!
After getting the system.
Period.
Ravan also secretly explored the footprints of the Dark Fruit!
But he is not the chosen one after all.
After years of practice, he was unable to ascend. How could he find the Dark Fruit so easily?
Waited for many years.
He even didn't hesitate to join the fourth team, Thatch.
Finally.
Just today.
The dark fruit has a new look!
....
Back to business.
After wiping out all the enemies.
The second and fourth teams began to clean the battlefield on the ship and collect loot!
"Huh? I found a devil fruit!"
Thatch unexpectedly found a box among the broken barrels.
Open it and take a look.
There is a devil fruit inside that exudes a little bit of black energy.
His voice.
It immediately attracted the attention of others!
When everyone saw the faint purple one in Thatch's hand, which looked like a pineapple, with a snail-like spiral pattern imprinted on it.
Everyone was amazed.
"I didn't expect to find Devil Fruit on this ship. You are so lucky, Thatch!"
Ace walked next to Thatch, he looked at the purple devil fruit in front of him and said.
The atmosphere in the Whitebeard Pirates is relatively harmonious.
Even if you find something extremely precious, such as a devil fruit or other rare treasures!
But it can be placed in this "family" that I miss so much.
It is also worth a thousand pieces of gold and cannot be exchanged for ten thousand pieces of gold!
No one would covet this Devil Fruit. Most people looked at Thatchi with envy.
At the same time, encourage yourself secretly! Find it quickly.
I also need to find a similar good fruit!
"The lines on this Devil Fruit are a bit strange. To be honest, I can't figure out what kind of Devil Fruit it is."
Although Thatch is the squad leader.
But after practicing hard for many years, he doesn't know much about this devil fruit!
Moreover.
Devil fruit illustrated books are very rare.
It is almost impossible to find it on the sea.
It's no surprise that he doesn't know him!
"My Mera Mera fruit exudes a fiery red color, but yours is a bit weird. Is it purple or black?"
Ace frowned and compared it with his original Mera Mera fruit!
Don't know why.
The moment I saw this devil fruit. He suddenly had a strange illusion... It's as if fate has taken hold of it and is strangling it!
Although it exudes black energy, it looks like an ominous thing.
But Devil Fruit is still very mysterious even after hundreds of years of development. No one knows what secrets are hidden behind it.
Perhaps.
Maybe this black energy is innate to it.
"Looking at this situation, is it also a Logia Devil Fruit?"
After hearing Ace's words, other crew members also began to speculate.
Devil Fruits vary. But no one can tell what abilities they have. If you eat well, you may soar into the sky like their captain Whitebeard!
Not eating well. Are there still few nameless people in this sea?
It can be said.
A devil fruit. It directly affects this person's fate for the next half of his life!
"Since I'm not sure, forget it. If you have time, go back and ask pops. First, confirm what kind of devil fruit it is."
Everyone I saw was unclear.
Thatch didn't think much, he just thought that he got a good thing.
It's not in vain to work so hard in this firefight today.
He closed the box and put it away!
However.
Thatch didn't notice.
Just as he was putting away the box!
There were two eyes, staring in this direction intently from the moment he took out the devil fruit.
One of them is Ravan!
Yes.
What Thatch found was the Dark Fruit.
This dark fruit~ it was also the beginning of his descent into the abyss.
Just the moment I saw the dark fruit.
Ravan looked directly at Teach!
Sure enough.
Teach also stared at the devil fruit in Thatch's hand.
There was excitement, surging, and unconcealable greed in his eyes, and the look of desire even overflowed onto his face, and he couldn't stop it at all.
He was always cautious.
At this moment, he didn't even notice that someone was patrolling him.
-Thump!!-
-Thump!!-
Teach's heart almost jumped into her throat, and her hands were shaking because of the excitement.
For this moment.
Teach didn't know how long he had been waiting.
The burning desire can no longer be restrained.
He wants it.
It's this dark fruit.
Patience is rewarded!
'Tonight!'
'I'm gonna get it tonight!!!!'
Blackbeard Teach's eyes were bloodshot.
