The battle is over, and the victory and defeat have been decided.

Galen won the life of Akainu and earned the title of the strongest man in the world from Whitebeard.

The battle did not hurt the friendship between the two sides.

Although Whitebeard was a little unhappy with Galen's insistence on saving Akainu, he was willing to gamble and lose, and remembered Galen's past saving grace, so he simply handed over Akaiu to Galen's hands, and released all the captured naval officers.

Galen's men helped collect the remnants and treat the wounded, temporarily taking over the battered naval fleet.

After arranging the aftermath, the night was already dark and the time had passed the meal.

Everyone was a little hungry after a long battle, so Whitebeard simply set up a banquet on the flagship Moby Dick, and specially invited Galen to participate in the banquet.

Whitebeard was in the main seat, and Galen's seat was arranged directly opposite Whitebeard, in the center of the room, and he was already on an equal footing with Whitebeard.

The captains sat on both sides, their expressions were surprised, shocked, or sighing, and their expressions were complex and tangled.

They hadn't been able to get out of the shock of Daddy's defeat and defeat, and the atmosphere at the banquet was a little cold.

However, the pirates' specialty is to hold banquets.

As soon as the food was served, the captains began to drink and laugh lively.

Even Marco and Thatch, who had just been seriously injured by Akainu during the day, were dressed in magic bandages made of black technology, and sat at the wine table full of blood and demons, eating and drinking.

"I'm kind of unlucky this time..."

Thatch drank wine and told his brothers about his experiences in the past few days:

"It's just that I went out on a routine cruise, and I ran into Zefa, a madman."

"I finally got out of Zefa's prison, but it ended up in the hands of Akainu again."

"Thanks to the brothers for arriving in time!"

Thatch thanked the brothers with his glass, and Titch, who had the best relationship with him, immediately replied with sincerity:

"The Thatch brothers are in trouble, how can we sit idly by?"

"When I was trapped in the city, didn't it all depend on my father and my brothers to save me?"

"Without the help of my brothers, I would have died at the hands of Akainu long ago."

"Hahaha..."

The two good brothers who were sick and sympathetic looked at each other and smiled.

And Thatch looked at his good brother Titch, and suddenly remembered something important.

"It's a pity!"

Thatch sighed with some regret:

"I managed to get rid of a small pirate group on this cruise, and I got a natural fruit by chance."

"I was going to bring it back as a gift to the Titch brothers, but I didn't expect to run into Zefa before I even left."

"He also seized the fruit, and I don't know if it's still there."

"Oh?"

"Nature's fruits?"

The captains' eyes lit up, and Titch's heart moved.

Everyone in the All-Whitebeard Pirates knows that Titch has always wanted to have the ability to have the fruit of nature.

He had only gone to the Chambord Islands to buy natural fruits, and when he saw injustice, he roared and turned himself into a dragon slayer warrior.

So not only Thatch, but the other captains have also been helping Titch keep an eye on the news of the natural fruit.

"Brother Thatch, how do you know it's a natural fruit?"

"What kind of ability is the natural system?"

Titch's heart throbbed, and he couldn't help but ask for details.

Galen noticed what they were discussing and quietly turned his gaze.

"It's on the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, it seems..."

Thatch was drunk, and after thinking for a moment, he replied in a bit of confusion:

"Dark Fruit."

"Dark Fruit?!"

Titch excitedly slapped the case, attracting the attention of all the captains.

And Titch didn't care about pretending to be a good old man at the moment, all he had in his mind were the four big words "Dark Fruit", and the dead dream was irrepressibly revived.

Then, Titch covered his empty heart.

The fruit of darkness came, but the heart was gone.

He only felt a pain in his heart pectoris, and the wound that had long healed became extremely hot, as if he had once again been pierced by the heavy punch of Akainu's magma.

But in the midst of this pain, Tichy's ambitions and dreams came back inch by inch, occupying his entire mind:

There's still a chance!

The Dark Fruit can be waited for by yourself, then you will definitely find a way to repair your heart!

These days, Titch has never given up trying to redeem his dreams.

Titch has been visiting famous doctors on the sea, and has also learned about a black technology treatment called "heart transplantation", which is said to be able to cure his missing eye.

So, let me fight for my dream again!

Titch had a sense of pride in his heart, and couldn't help but excitedly hold the hand of his good brother Thatch:

"The Thatch Brothers!"

"Where is the Dark Fruit now?"

"I don't know..."

Thatch said with some embarrassment:

"If it hadn't been eaten, it would still be on Zefa's warship, right?"

"Huh?"

A smile froze on Teach's face, and he only felt that he had been hit by an ice age from a pheasant.

Zefa's warship was captured and taken away by Akainu, and Akainu's fleet is now temporarily taken over by Galen, which means that...

The dark fruit of his dreams is now in Galen's hands?

Titch turned his head to see the meaningful smile on Galen's face.

His face turned green.

"Hahaha..."

Galen smiled kindly:

"Don't worry, Brother Tichy."

"Dark Fruit, huh?"

"I'll go back and help you find it after I'm done!"

"Hahaha..."

Titch laughed tearfully, "Thank you." ”

.....................................................

Shortly after the banquet, in the lounge of the empty boat.

The dark fruit that Tichy had dreamed of was so easily placed in front of Galen and his younger brothers.

"Boss?"

"Are we going to send this fruit over now?"

Luo also followed Galen to the banquet just now, and knew Galen's "promise" to Teach.

"Send something!"

Galen smiled sinisterly, not at all as kind as at the banquet:

"It's a good thing, of course we'll keep it for ourselves!"

"Uh..."

Luo habitually showed a strange expression.

He has been by Galen's side for a long time, and he still can't accept Galen's sinister face that is not known to outsiders.

"To whom?"

Galen didn't pay attention to Luo's eyes at all, and just thought about it carefully:

The Dark Fruit cannot be elementalized, but it can convert damage into double pain to achieve "invincibility", and it can also achieve the "silence" effect of blocking the enemy's fruit ability through close contact, which requires the will of the person with the ability to be strong enough, and it is best to be a strong physical one.

But Galen's data mode is not compatible with the fruit ability, and most of the strong people under his command already have the fruit ability.

Zefa, the only one who has no fruit ability, has broken his right hand, and he still wears the Hailou Stone mechanical arm, which is not very suitable for eating devil fruits.

"Lei Jiu."

"You're going to eat this dark fruit, right?"

Galen thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to give this dark fruit to Lei Jiu.

Lei Jiu is a modified person of Jerma, in addition to her strong body, she has also been modified to be insensitive to pain, which is suitable for the characteristics of the Dark Fruit.

"Okay."

Lei Jiu nodded obediently, she was now mostly obedient to Galen's words.

And since Galen said that this dark fruit is a good thing, Lei Jiu is not worried that she will gain any useless fruit ability.

However, she didn't take a big bite of the flesh directly from the Devil Fruit like those bold men.

After all, knowledgeable people know that Devil Fruits taste like;

And to obtain the Devil Fruit ability, it is enough to eat a small bite of the flesh casually.

Case...

Those men who have to bite a mouthful of "" are indeed real men.

Lei Jiu brought a set of knives and forks from the fruit bowl, slowly cut a hole in the dark fruit, removed a small piece of pulp, and finally gently inserted it with a fork and sent it into his mouth.

The movements are light and elegant, showing the style of a noble princess.

However, as soon as this flesh was in her mouth, Lei Jiu couldn't help frowning tightly.

"How?"

Galen asked impatiently.

Lei Jiu methodically put down the knife and fork, picked up the water cup to rinse her mouth, and gently wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and finally said in a flat tone:

"It's really hard to eat."

"However, I seem to have gained the fruit ability."

Then, Lei Jiu stretched out her white fingers and tried to exert force, and suddenly there was a small dark light cluster between her fingers.

It's like a miniature black hole, exerting a faint gravitational pull on everything around it.

"It's amazing."

Lei Jiu glanced at Luo next to her casually, and her eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance:

"I seem to be able to see the Devil Fruit energy in other abilities."

"Dark Fruit... Seems to be able to absorb this energy? ”

"Oh?"

Galen was curious, so he immediately entered the data mode and picked up the spell fragments of the Dark Fruit.

Sure enough, his perception also quietly changed.

For those with the Dark Fruit ability, that elusive Devil Fruit energy is visible.

That kind of energy resides in the heart of the capable person, and it is integrated with the blood of the powerful person's whole body, forming an unbreakable community.

The hapless Luo immediately became Galen's test subject.

He tried to touch Luo at close range with his hand, but the dark tide of the Dark Fruit could only temporarily seal Luo's fruit ability, but it was unable to absorb this energy at all.

"I see..."

Galen recalled the scene in the original book where Titch absorbs the shock fruit from Whitebeard's corpse, and boldly guessed:

While the Capable is alive, the Devil Fruit energy and the Capable are completely integrated and cannot be absorbed by the darkness.

Only when the capable person dies and the Devil Fruit energy leaves the body and finds another place to stay, can the gravitational black tide of the Dark Fruit take advantage of the void and wait for an opportunity to absorb this strange energy.

This conjecture makes sense, but it is a little difficult to verify.

Galen couldn't just find someone with the ability to kill, so he had to put aside the idea of experimenting with the effect of the Dark Fruit for the time being.

After some thought, the three-minute duration of Galen's skillful stealing hand was up.

The ability of the Dark Fruit that he pirated disappeared in an instant.

"Galen!"

Lei Jiu couldn't help but exclaim:

"You..."

"The Devil Fruit energy in your body has escaped!"
