Chapter 219: The Secret of the Dark Fruit
"It's the Fruit of Darkness!"
When Saul said this, Ace and Thatch, who were closest to him, both looked surprised.
Because, they didn't know what the attributes of this Devil Fruit were before.
Of course, it is impossible for the base of the Whitebeard Pirates to not have a Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, but few people will look through it, and at most those who have obtained strange Devil Fruits outside will go back and check it out.
So after getting this Devil Fruit, most people didn't care too much, because there are many powerful Devil Fruits in the world, but there are more Devil Fruits in the chicken ribs.
Rashly eating an unknown Devil Fruit will not only take unknown risks, but also lose the ability to swim in the ocean.
In the new world, although it is a paradise for the powerful, but the top forces like the Whitebeard Pirates, the people in them are not short-sighted, and the devil fruits that are not powerful are not looked down upon at all.
"Thor, you know this Devil Fruit?"
Thatch was curious, but didn't speak, and the sentence was asked by Ace, who was closest to Thor.
Thor also guessed, not too sure, but he glanced at Robin and saw that she nodded at him, and he felt a little sure that only Robin had seen the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book.
Then, instead of answering Ace's words, Thor looked at Blackbeard again.
That's right!
It's Blackbeard!
(At this time, Blackbeard has not yet called himself Blackbeard, but in order to clarify the identity of the character, he is temporarily called Blackbeard, after all, Marshall D. Ditch is afraid that most of his classmates will not know who it is, at least I never remember his name when I watch anime, only his appearance)
Blackbeard himself is a member of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, that is, Ace's subordinates, when he first came to the New World to meet Ace, Thor forgot about Blackbeard's existence, and he was not able to find Blackbeard, who was still very inconspicuous at this time, under so many of Ace's men.
However, after separating from Ace, I remembered it.
Thor's eyes sneaked into Blackbeard, who looked normal to eat and drink in the midst of a group of people, and easily noticed that Blackbeard was hiding his normal behavior, but those two eyeballs glanced at the devil fruit on the wooden box next to the campfire from time to time, and the flame called longing was clearly visible in his eyes.
Others might think it was the effect of a campfire, but Thor knew it was definitely Blackbeard's inner fire that was burning.
Such a discovery made Thor even more sure that this was definitely a dark fruit!
Now that he is sure in his heart, Thor's bad intentions will naturally pop up.
He felt that if Blackbeard got the Dark Fruit, he might be able to disrupt his plans.
If Blackbeard kills Thatch and takes the Dark Fruit as he originally did, Ace will inevitably go after Blackbeard, so that his own affairs will be delayed, and maybe he will not be able to meet Whitebeard even if he dies.
This kind of development trajectory, Thor absolutely can't agree with it, he has now changed his first goal from being the strongest in the world to going to the final island first, to satisfy his curiosity, and then come back and slowly develop and become stronger.
Seeing that the mystery of the final island has been solved halfway, the chain must not be dropped at this time.
So, I didn't care much about Blackbeard before, but now that he's become a roadblock, I can only say sorry to him and kick him away!
Even, I didn't bother to say that sorry.
Thor was thinking in his head about how to 'destroy' the Dark Fruit before Blackbeard could get his hands on it.
The words that Thor said about the Dark Fruit had only been heard by a small group of people, including his companions and Ace and Thatch.
They were waiting for Thor to continue, but after a few seconds, Thor was still pondering, and Ace couldn't wait to shake his hand in front of Thor's eyes.
"Hey~~~ What are you thinking about Thor!"
"Oh~~~ I'm sorry, I just saw the Dark Fruit and remembered a legend I heard a long time ago."
Thor began to enter Oscar mode, and instantly the god-level screenwriter possessed him, and casual nonsense was easy to come by.
"Huh? What legend? ”
The people around me were interested.
Despite Thor not saying it right away, he walked straight to the Dark Fruit and picked it up in front of everyone's eyes.
Although this move was presumptuous, Thor also wanted to control the Dark Fruit in his own hands first, because he was afraid that what he said later would irritate Blackbeard and make him desperate to jump over and eat it in one bite.
Thor's actions immediately attracted the attention of most people, Ace had introduced Thor's identities before, and they all thought that Thor was Ace's friend, so even if he picked up a devil fruit worth at least 100 million Bailey, not too many people cared.
But this definitely doesn't include Blackbeard, and the others don't know that it's the Dark Fruit, nor do they know the value of the Dark Fruit, but Blackbeard understands it all the better.
But Blackbeard could only frown and watch at this time, without any rash moves.
"Everyone should know the three major systems of Devil Fruits, the natural system, the animal system, and the superhuman system, this Devil Fruit, if I read it correctly, is the most special dark fruit in the natural system!"
Thor just said it out loud.
"What?! It turned out to be natural! ”
"Thatch's boss is so lucky!"
"That's right, this time Boss Thatch is developed!"
When everyone heard that it was the dark fruit of the natural system, they all congratulated Thatch, because none of the natural fruits were weak, and all of them were extremely strong.
Of course, Blackbeard wanted to kill the mouthy Thor at this time, and now everyone knew that it was the fruit of darkness.
"Thor, what do you mean by being the most special in nature?"
Ace, as a natural fruit burner ability, is naturally very interested in this 'most special' word.
Ace nodded with satisfaction, so he continued: "The reason why the Dark Fruit is the most special is because the person who eats the Dark Fruit can eat a second Devil Fruit, that is to say, those with the ability of the Dark Fruit can have two abilities!" ”
As soon as Saul's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and the people who didn't care about the dark fruit now looked at the dark fruit with bright eyes.
Two abilities, it's just so fascinating.
Shout~~~~
Thor threw the Dark Fruit to Thatch, who hurriedly caught it, for fear of accidentally falling to the ground and breaking it.
This is also to avoid suspicion, I am afraid that if Thor takes two more seconds, the others will think that he has an idea about it.
"Brother Thatch, there is another point in the legend I heard, that is, the Dark Fruit is born to be dark, once it has not eaten the Dark Fruit in the darkest hour before dawn the next day, it will turn into a piece of darkness and merge into the night sky and appear randomly anywhere in the world, so many people get the Dark Fruit, but if they don't grasp it, they will really own it."
In order for the Dark Fruit to be disposed of immediately, Thor made up such a lie.
