【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

“Bellamy!! Are you kidding me!!” Sachis looked at Bellamy lying on the ground and yelled in disbelief, “Get up, you are a heavyweight pirate with a bounty of 5500 million berries!! How could you be defeated by that kid!!”

"See, didn't I tell you? That guy's bounty is much higher than Bellamy's!" The pirate who first received the bounty order muttered to himself as he watched this scene.

"Give the uncle's gold back!" Luffy stared at the rest of the people and said in a deep voice.

"Wow!! He's the real deal!" The other pirates reacted and screamed in fear, turning around and running outside.

"Bellamy has been defeated!!" The rest of the Bellamy Pirates said in disbelief, then reacted and shouted in horror, "Give him the gold quickly!!"

Luffy smiled and put the bag of gold on his back, then prepared to return along the same route and leave.

"Straw Hat boy, stop right there. What about me? Where are you going?" Sachis shouted unwillingly, but was so scared that he sat on the ground the moment Luffy turned around.

"Where are you asking?" Luffy turned his head and pointed his index finger at the sky. "Sky Island!!"

……

Not long after Luffy left Mogu Town, another group of people appeared in Mogu Town again.

"One hundred million Baileys..." Blackbeard looked at the bounty in his hand with an evil smile on his face. "I knew that the bounty was worth more than 3 million, but I didn't expect it to be this high."

"What should we do, Captain?" Blackbeard's helmsman, Badgers, chuckled. "Should we go catch him?"

"Hey! Big guy! Don't block the way!" Sachis said angrily, "I'm really unhappy now!"

"Stop making so much noise!" Blackbeard pushed Sachis' head to the ground with his backhand. "I don't have time to waste with a small character like you. What I'm looking for is a hundred million berries' worth of heads! Hahahaha!! I'm going to be famous all over the world!"

"Ahhhhh!!" The remaining Bellamy pirates were scared and ran away, only one pirate wearing glasses stood there, not daring to move.

"Oh...Hahahaha!! We're finally going hunting!" Blackbeard Pirates' helmsman, Badgers, shouted excitedly, then noticed the pirate Bellamy who had been standing there, and was about to wave at him, "Do you want to die?!"

The pirate Bellamy looked at the fist that was so close and shouted in fear, "Wait a minute, I know where the pirate worth 100 million berries is going!"

"Wait, Badgers." Blackbeard stopped Badgers's fist and grinned, "Tell me!"

"He said he was going to Sky Island, and he just left in the direction of the forest!" Pirate Bellamy added in horror, "He hasn't been out of town for long!"

"Hahahahaha, thief, God is really helping me this time!" Blackbeard suddenly laughed excitedly.

"But Captain, we had agreed to meet Lafitte here!" said Van-Oka, the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates, carrying a sniper rifle.

"This is not like you, Oka. Even if we miss each other for a while, we will meet again in the end!" Blackbeard laughed.

"Ahem, that's right, fate is often used to measure a person's value." The Blackbeard Pirates' ship doctor Du.Q said weakly.

"Hahaha, let's go, Captain!" Badgers shouted excitedly.

"Hahahaha, let's go!" Blackbeard grinned and walked towards the forest. "Let's go catch the Straw Hat Boy! His head worth 100 million berries is our stepping stone!"

As soon as Blackbeard stepped into the jungle, he realized something was wrong. Looking at the shadow hidden in the corner in front of him, he grinned with an inexplicable light in his eyes. "Thief, hahahaha, deputy captain, why don't you come out? Your ability is really interesting! You can actually follow us in secret this whole time!"

"Hey, Teach! What did you just say you wanted to do!?" Lucci slowly walked out from the shadows, staring at Blackbeard with cold eyes. Originally, he wanted to wait for Ace's brother to leave the island before taking action, but Teach really likes to seek death!

"Oh, vice-captain! Are you also interested in the Straw Hat Boy!?" Blackbeard said in surprise.

"Don't call me vice-captain, you are no longer a member of the Whitebeard Pirates." Lucci ignored Teach's words. More importantly, he would not take the initiative to expose the relationship between Straw Hat Luffy and Ace.

"In that case, I have one more thing to say." Blackbeard looked at Lucci and grinned, "Lucci, do you want to join us? As long as we catch Straw Hat Luffy who just left not long ago, I can start my road to hegemony! Sooner or later, I will rule the world and become the Pirate King!!"

"Heh, are you dreaming?" Lucci looked at Teach coldly, as if he was already a dead man. "You know why I came here, let's start directly!" Lucci took the lead in attacking, and fierce slashes continued to attack Teach.

"Hahaha, are you sure you want to fight the four of us alone? Instead of a duel you are bound to lose..." Blackbeard grinned, and while covering his arm with armament color to block Lucci's slash, he invited him, "Why don't you just join us!? I checked, Ace didn't come to this island with you."

“So what?” Lucci’s eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a wild smile, and he swung his knife again and slashed at Teach’s body quickly, “I can kill you by myself!”

"clang!"

Blackbeard put his left hand in front of his chest to block Lucci's blade that was slashing towards him. Although his feet couldn't help but slide backwards under the heavy pressure, the expression on his face didn't change at all. He continued to laugh, "Hahahaha, so that's how it is!"

"Then let me show you the power I have been pursuing for more than 20 years!" Blackbeard said as he gathered the darkness in his hand, turning his entire right hand into darkness. At the same time, his entire body seemed to be shrouded in darkness. Blackbeard stretched out his right hand and said proudly, "This devil fruit is the most brutal power in the history of devil fruits. I will let you see how strong it is right away!"

"Hehe." Lucci laughed sarcastically, but he still vigilantly put away his knife and stepped back, staring at Teach's movements warily. He knew that Teach's fruit ability was to make the devil fruit user lose their ability, but he didn't know how he did it.

"Wait, Captain, don't do anything rash!" The other three crew members of Blackbeard looked at the darkness in Teach's hand and were suddenly frightened. They hurriedly ran outside, trying to stay away from Blackbeard. If the captain released that move, even they would be affected!

"Dark Point Road!" Blackbeard waved his hand, which had turned dark, towards the ground. The black smoke that had just gathered around him suddenly burst out from his body and spread around him. The ground was like a black hole, sucking in everything around it.
