Pirate: The dark fruit at the beginning was hunted down by Blackbeard

"Ugh!! Ugh, help!!!"

Another man ran wildly into the distance.

"Want to run?"

"Dark water!!"

A black mist struck the man.

The man lay on the ground, holding on to the ground.

However, under this huge gravitational force, he was still attracted.

He stared at Ivan tremblingly, his pants already wet with fear.

"This ability is really useful." Ivan looked at his hands, then stared at the trembling man on the ground.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..." the man begged for mercy.

"Well, I won't kill you." Ivan nodded.

There was really no need for him to kill the man in front of him.

After all, his primary goal now is to find the living people on the island and then ask about the situation.

In this case, the man in front of him happened to be a good target.

"Where is this?" Ivan asked.

"This...this is the hidden island." The man said tremblingly.

"Hidden Island?" Ivan had never heard of this place. "To give you more details, my memory is a little confused now."

"This is an island in the first half of the Grand Line. There is no magnetic connection between it and other islands. In other words, you can only reach here using a permanent pointer, so it is called the Hidden Island."

"Because of its concealment,...this place has become a trading place for pirates..."

"That's it!" Ivan said, "What a nice place."

In fact, as long as it is not an uninhabited island, Ivan is already satisfied.

"On this island, let's get information about the world first, and then make the next step..."

......

Inside the pub.

"The sea calendar is 1520."

Ivan searches for information about the world in newspapers.

In addition to newspapers, Ivan also collected a large number of reward orders.

"Monkey D. Luffy, bounty, 3000 million Baileys."

Ivan stared at the reward notice for a long time.

Luffy's current bounty is 3000 million.

In other words, he has defeated the fish-man Aaron, but he has not yet defeated Crocodile.

I don’t know if the direction of this world will develop according to the plot of the anime...

"If that's the case, finding the protagonist group might be a good choice." Ivan murmured.

From just now, he thought of a question.

That means he ate the dark fruit.

If the power of this fruit is exposed, it is very likely that Blackbeard will hunt him down.

After all, Blackbeard said that if he couldn't find the Dark Fruit, he would be miserable all his life.

This fruit is related to Blackbeard's dream. Blackbeard will do whatever it takes to pursue his dream and will definitely hunt him down.

Thinking of this, Ivan felt a chill in his back.

"We must find someone to rely on." Ivan made up his mind.

The protagonist group may be a good choice. As long as you keep up with Luffy, your safety will be guaranteed.

After all, Luffy would not abandon his friends casually.

Staying on Luffy's boat, constantly looking for Devil Fruit, may be the best choice.

......

In the afternoon, Ivan came to the town square.

The square was crowded and lively.

"It is indeed a trading city for pirates." Ivan thought to himself.

Here, gold, jewelry, and other valuable items have become street stalls.

The pirates who looked like businessmen were introducing their products.

"Hey, little brother, do you want to see it?"

In front of Ivan, a big pirate wearing an eyepatch said.

There was a wooden box next to him. Ivan looked into the wooden box and saw that it was full of jewelry.

Ivan is not interested in this kind of thing.

Besides, I don’t have much money now.

The money extorted from that man has almost been spent.

At this moment, Ivan discovered that there were many people gathered in front of a high platform not far away, and more people were pushing towards it.

"What's going on over there?" Ivan asked.

"Someone must be selling something rare."

"Devil Fruit, it's a Devil Fruit!" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Devil Fruit?" Ivan suddenly became interested and walked towards the crowd.

Sure enough, on the high platform stood a pink-haired girl.

What the girl was holding was a green fruit with strange patterns.

"Devil Fruit, price 1 million beli!"

the girl said.

"Ten million is too expensive!" someone in the crowd said.

"What kind of fruit is this?"

"I don't know." the girl said.

"This is gambling, haha!!" A man below laughed, "If it's the natural type, then you'll make money. But if it's just an ordinary animal type, it's useless."

"Who's willing to bet? Besides, it's impossible to be from the natural system, okay?"

"Selling a piece of rubbish fruit for 1000 million is too exaggerated."

"Haha!" The girl smiled, "You pirates, you can't even get 1000 million, right? In this case, you are a failure as pirates."

"Damn it!!" Someone below gritted his teeth.

"This fruit may change your destiny!!" The girl continued to say seductively.

"Don't be ridiculous. If it's a garbage fruit, then our lives will be ruined. Who doesn't know that each person can only eat one devil fruit in his life?"

"That's it!" the girl continued, "No matter what, the price of my fruit will not be reduced. 1000 million, does anyone want it?"

The girl hawked it for a long time, but no one was willing to buy it.

Ivan was itching to see it.

If I had money, I would have bought it long ago.

"No one wants it? If no one wants it, then I will give it to my crew." said the pink-haired girl.

Still no reply.

"That's it! Then, goodbye!"

"Wait, wait!" Ivan stood up, "I, I want it!"

The girl looked towards Ivan and said, "1000 million, no bargaining."

"Yeah!" Ivan nodded, "But I don't have much money now..."

"Uh..." The girl had a dark look on her face, "Are you kidding me? Be careful, I'll kill you!"

"I mean, I will definitely be able to make money in the future. Or, let me be your subordinate." Ivan said.

"Be my subordinate?" The girl smiled, "If you are qualified, then it doesn't hurt to give this fruit to you."

With that said, the girl walked down the high platform and came to Ivan.

"My name is Joelle Bonny."

"Ivan." Ivan also revealed his name.

"Let me test your strength." Pony said, "If you make fun of me, I will kill you."

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Ivan's shoulders.

Joelle Bonney.

Ivan remembered.

This is the supernova at the same time as Luffy. If I remember correctly, her fruit power can change a person's age through touch.

"In this case!"

Ivan's Darkness Fruit can temporarily neutralize the abilities of the esper by contacting the esper's body.

"Ability Deprivation!"

Ivan could feel that something was being pulled out of Poni's body.

"Um..." Bonny stared at Ivan with an expression of disbelief, "You, what did you just do?"

"Your ability can change the age of the person you touch, right?" Ivan said, "And my ability can invalidate the ability of the person with the ability."

"Are you also a devil fruit person?"

"No, this is a natural ability of mine, an innate ability." Ivan deceived.

"Hahaha, interesting." Bonny laughed wildly.

"So, how about this trick?"

With a sharp kick, Pony kicked towards Ivan.

"Ugh!" Ivan was unprepared and was kicked out.

"Uh-huh!" Ivan covered his stomach and vomited blood.

He felt like his internal organs had even been kicked to pieces.

After a while, he reluctantly stood up.

"Haha, you're still alive!" Bonny smiled.

"You are qualified to be my subordinate!!"
