Mawson's sudden action and his public statement were a blow to most of the pirates in the first half, all of whom were not fools, uh, except for a few.

After all, the forest in this world is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

It's not that there are people like Luffy who have a brain tendon, on the contrary, there are still a handful of such people.

After reading the newspaper, many people are more or less restrained, and they dare not be so unscrupulous.

Because after making the statement, Admiral Mawson did not return to his headquarters, but casually destroyed several groups of pirates in several places.

Without exception, these pirates are all very murderous kinds.

After this, few people will do anything to slaughter the village, after all, the pirates are just seeking money, and the perverts who take pleasure in killing people are a minority after all.

However, this is not a long-term solution, there are really not many things that Mawson needs to deal with when he is in the department, but many major things need him to make decisions, and Ain is not yet qualified to do so.

Not only did the Warring States not allow him to do this, but even Mo Sen himself couldn't do it every day to chase down those big and small pirates at sea.

Not to mention anything else, the first half of the Great Voyage did change a lot at once.

Most of the other future supernovas who originally went to sea like Kidd chose a very heartfelt way.

Fortunately, other pirates will not kill people at every turn like the Kidd Pirates.

In addition to plundering villages and towns, the pirates of the sea will also attack each other, and these Mosen will not care, nor do they have the mood and energy to care.

Is there any time to discuss the moves with Miss Hancock, isn't it fragrant?

A month later.

Mawson, who was exposed to the wind and sun at sea, prepared to return with his warship, but after a long time, life at sea was not pleasant, and there were many inconveniences.

The most important thing is that there is not a single woman on the Mawson, except for the junior lieutenant who remained in the headquarters.

Every day's life is a man on top of a man, who can stand this?

So, having achieved his goal, Mawson ordered the warship to return to the naval headquarters, and was now on its way back.

He also received another mission from the Warring States, and was crushed to death by the old man of the Warring States, for fear that he would not know where to slip away after a while.

Really, the most basic trust between people!

You go to the Navy Headquarters and ask, he's not that kind of person at all.

……

……

The capital of the seven waters.

As the most famous shipbuilding base of the Great Route, it was once glorious for a while, then declined, and then slowly regained its vitality after the completion of the Shanghai Railway.

It's a group of wonder cities in the middle of a separate set of oceans, and once a year a storm surge from the 'Gods of Water' hits the city, but the city has remained so for hundreds of years.

This is not only because the city has mastered the laws of the gods of water, but also because the entire city is not only built to conform to the terrain, and a large part of the reason has a lot to do with this storm surge.

From a distance, the City of Seven Waters looks like a gigantic multi-layered cake, with the city layered from top to bottom, with the lowest building surrounded by a group of sturdy stone walls, with huge drains at intervals like city gates. The water from the top layer is left behind and drained from here, and these flowing currents form a complex network of transportation that is the main mode of transportation in the city.

The City of Seven Waters is famous for shipbuilding, especially Tom the Fishman, who was executed by the world government a few years ago, is a grandmaster-level master in the shipbuilding industry.

One Piece Roger's former pirate ship came from his hands, and he was also responsible for designing and building the world-famous sea train.

To be honest, such a master, Mo Sen didn't know about it when he had an accident, otherwise he would have to find a way to save his life. If nothing else, even if it was to ask him to help redesign his Mawson, it would be worth saving his life.

However, Tom not only built the pirate ship of One Piece Roger, but also held the blueprint of the ancient weapon 'Hades', which was the root cause of his final death.

The reason why Lao Sha wants to take over the country of Alabastan is because they guard the secret of the 'Hades' - it is said that it is a powerful weapon of war that can destroy an island in an attack.

The World Government has always wanted to get such an ancient weapon, but it's a pity that a waste Spendam was taken care of in this matter.

Even if he executed Tom, the legendary blueprint of Hades was not seen by Mao.

Tom the Fishman has two disciples who have inherited Tom's skills in building boats, but the two have completely different paths.

One is now the mayor of the Seven Waters Capital, and is also the owner of Carrera, the largest shipbuilding company in the Seven Waters Capital, while the other is really in a hurry to dismantle the ship, which is the more gifted second disciple Franky.

No one knew that the blueprints of Hades were in Frankie's hands.

The iceberg located on the bright side has always been the focus of the supervision of the world government, not only the secretary is the Cp9 from the world government, but even the shipbuilding cadres in the company also have Cp people.

And the goal of these people is naturally the blueprint of the legendary Hades.

It's just that they have been lurking for so many years, and they still haven't found the slightest trace, as if it's just a legend.

And at this time, they unintentionally planted flowers and willows, and they found Nicole, the son of the devil, who has been wanted by the world government and the navy. Robin.

No one thought that the arrest operation was not an accident at all, but that another situation caused a major earthquake in the world.

Without any interference, the plot seems to be controlled by a big invisible hand, moving forward in the established direction.

And before that, there was another big event that broke out on an island.

……

……

Palona.

It's a karst island, surrounded by mountains that surround the island and are only accessible in a few places.

In the middle of the island is a small town with a population of no more than a few hundred.

The surrounding mountains provide shelter from the wind and rain, so that they can live here without worrying about the storm.

But today the town is a little different.

It is more appropriate to say that it is better to say that it is a town than a village, and today all the villagers have fled the place where they lived, from the newborn babies to the elderly who could not walk.

All gathered on a high mountain plateau a few hundred meters away from the village.

The center of the village.

There stood two figures that looked incongruous.

"Thief hahahaha, now you understand, Captain Ace, I have been on the Whitebeard ship for so many years because I have the highest chance of obtaining this fruit."

The guy with a black turban, curly black hair, and a few missing teeth in his mouth was laughing and talking, he was the former second-team member of the Whitebeard ship, No, it should be Blackbeard.

And standing opposite him was naturally Ace shirtless and wearing a cowboy hat.

Blackbeard was wearing a captain's shawl, and his face no longer had the honest and honest appearance it once had, and the word 'ambition' was written all over his face.

"If I'm unlucky, I'll admit it, but this fruit is in the hands of my friend."

Ace tilted his head and looked at Blackbeard, "So, you killed Tiki and snatched this fruit, right?" ”

"It was just an accident, Ace."

Blackbeard's eyes didn't show any remorse, he had no friends in this world since he got this fruit, "Actually, it was this fruit that chose me, thief hahahaha, I knew the moment he appeared on Whitebeard's boat, it was it that chose me!"

Now, I'm the strongest, Ace. ”

As he spoke, Blackbeard spread out the palm of his right hand, which was fat with four rings set with colored gemstones, but darkness surged on it, like a thick black smoke enveloping his palm, even though Ace was only a few meters away from Blackbeard, he still couldn't see the light of the gems.

Blackbeard's face was full of excitement: "Thief hahahaha, look, even in the natural system, it is a completely alien existence." Ace, your body is on fire, and my ......

It's darkness, I'm the dark people! ”

Not only his palm, but also Blackbeard's body seemed to have a condensed black smoke rising in midair.

There was a sun hanging in the sky, but the black 'pillar of smoke' looked as black as ink, and any light that entered it seemed to disappear, and there was not a trace of light that could penetrate it.

Ace frowned: "Darkness? ”

"Yes, Captain Ace, the most ferocious thing in the history of the Devil Fruit is the power that this fruit represents, and it is naturally a dark fruit!"

Blackbeard's face was full of arrogance, and he looked at Ace with a different light in his eyes: "How powerful this fruit is, I will show you it soon!" ”

As Blackbeard's words fell, countless substances like black smoke were released from his body, spreading along the ground like the outside of the entire town, except for the center where Blackbeard and Ace were standing.

The black substance soon spread throughout the town, and it looked extremely eerie.

Ace frowned, not knowing what Blackbeard was up to, but at this time, he had already awakened and had a faint premonition that something was not good.

Because Blackbeard's power in front of him is too strong, compared to him in the past, it is completely two concepts.

The ground of the entire town seemed to be covered with a huge black curtain, and nothing was missing except where the two of them stood.

Blackbeard still had that insolent smile on his face, and with his ugly appearance, it did look a little scary.

"Darkness is gravity, the force that attracts and swallows everything, even the infinite gravitational force that does not let go of light.

Now, take a good look at this town, Captain Ace! ”

【Dark Cave Path】

Blackbeard's palm was down, pressed against the ground, countless black matter churned, and all the buildings in the town began to crumble, and disappeared little by little.

The shattered voice, which had been standing, became silent when it came into contact with the dark matter.

No matter how you look at this scene, it looks extremely weird.

Little by little, the shattered buildings of the town were swallowed up by the darkness, and then vanished. Eventually, all the buildings in the town were swallowed into the dark substance.

After that, all the dark matter returned to Blackbeard's body, and there was only a large bare land!

The ability of the Devil Fruit is terrifying, and it really deserves to be the most ferocious fruit ability in the history of Blackbeard's mouth.

"Dark gravity is the force of infinite force to shrink and destroy objects!" Blackbeard looked at Ace, the corners of his mouth split, "The town that disappeared just now, let you see what happened to it!" - Liberation! ”

Dark matter poured out of Blackbeard's body, and the town that had been sucked into his body seemed to have been released from another dimension, but all of these buildings were in ruins!

Countless ruins, under the control of the forces of darkness, formed a circle around the two men.

Does this ability sound familiar?

This is a very similar ability to a black hole, of course, an infinitely emasculated version.

If this is really a black hole, not to mention that Blackbeard can't control it, even this planet will be swallowed up.

In the final analysis, the power of the Devil Fruit is strong and has a limit, and it is impossible to break through to the entire universe casually, otherwise the ceiling of this world will not be the same combat power as the Great General and the Four Emperors.

It may turn into another story - Pirates: Dragon Ball Saiyan!

"Got it, Ace, this is the power I got, with this ability, I am the strongest in the world...... Yes! ”

Before Blackbeard could finish his words, he suddenly fell to the ground with a wail, and he didn't know when he was suddenly burned by a burst of fire.

"Pain, pain, pain! It hurts! ”

He wailed miserably, and it took him a long time to suck the fire out of his body into the darkness.

When he has this fruit ability, which can be called a BUG, he also loses one of the most significant characteristics of the natural system - elementalization!

Not only can he not be elementalized, but even his body will endure several times more pain than ordinary people.

In other words, it may have been just a minor burn, as if Blackbeard was still being burned by the fire.

- This is the price of gaining power.

Ace frowned, looking at Blackbeard a little strangely: "I already know the power of the darkness, but, what makes me unbelievable is that you didn't dodge the attack just now?" That should be easy for any natural-based person to block such an attack. ”

Blackbeard staggered to his feet, and for some unknown reason, he explained the principle to Ace.

However, compared to the cost of suffering several times as much, his strength naturally makes people feel fearful. And this ability to do the same thing is ......"

Blackbeard stretched out at Ace, and countless dark matter poured out, forming something similar to a whirlpool.

【Dark Water】

Ace's consciousness was alert at once, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his body flew towards Blackbeard uncontrollably.

Then he grabbed it in his hands.

"Captain Ace, do you feel this power?"

Ace's shoulder was grabbed by Blackbeard's palm, and when he heard Blackbeard's words, his expression was extremely surprised: "Could it be? ”

"That's right, anyone who is able to touch my body will be completely unable to use all abilities, nature, superhuman, animal, all the abilities in this world who are overconfident in their abilities, can't resist my attack, thief hahahaha."

Blackbeard laughed, raised his other hand into a fist, and swung it at Ace's abdomen.
