The Chapter get Retranslated
"Gulp!"
"Is this the power of that Devil Fruit?"
"What exactly is that chilling black smoke?"
On Bridge Island, both Germa's side and the pirates of the Jeffrey Pirates couldn't help but stare in shock at the figure standing on the mast, completely engulfed in the eerie black smoke. They felt as if the surrounding light had directly dimmed, and their scalps tingled.
It didn't last long; the billowing black smoke slowly dissipated, or rather, it re-entered Ichiji's body, as if it had never appeared.
Ichiji, his expression already calm, swept his gaze across the battlefield on the shore.
He ignored the uneasy pirates and looked directly at the CP7 intelligence officer responsible for leading the way, making the man inexplicably nervous.
"Prince Ichiji, congratulations..."
As if being stared at by some terrifying beast, sweat beaded on the World Government spy's forehead. He was about to force a congratulatory remark.
But the next moment—
"Swish..."
"Ah, Prince Ichiji, you..."
Large amounts of black smoke continuously emerged from Ichiji's right hand. In an instant, it surged over from dozens of meters away, directly engulfing the entire person and lifting him into mid-air. He immediately let out a startled and angry cry, trying to struggle.
"You've worked hard leading the way these past few days, but now you're useless..."
Vast quantities of dark matter surged forth, filled with an ominous and eerie aura, completely engulfing the intelligence officer alive...
From the moment this CP7 intelligence officer was dispatched, his fate was sealed: he had already been abandoned as a pawn by Felt Hoz.
After all, as an officer of CP7, an intelligence agency under the World Government, he understood intelligence work perfectly. How could he possibly leave such an obvious hidden danger for himself and Germa?
"Thud..."
A lifeless corpse fell, sending shivers down the spines of many pirates.
"The ability still needs to be developed, but the results are good..."
Clenching his right palm, which was still emitting wisps of black smoke, Ichiji couldn't help but smile, feeling the surging power of darkness within his body.
The double pain brought by the Dark-Dark Fruit was an unbearable price for others.
However, for "half-products" who underwent gene modification experiments before birth, their pain nerves were different from ordinary people.
Facing the same injury, the pain they endured was far less than that of ordinary people. They would definitely not be rolling on the ground in agony from even minor injuries like others who ate the Dark-Dark Fruit.
As for Niji and Yonji, they were even more exaggeratedly un-humanlike. Even if their faces were kicked askew or their heads were directly flattened by an attack, it would be akin to an ordinary person being punched in the face, or even less severe.
This Dark-Dark Fruit, one could say, was entirely prepared for people like him.
He had merely thought the hope was too slim before and hadn't considered it at all. After all, the sea was vast; where would he find it? He couldn't make a reckless gamble like Marshall D. Teach, staking his future and ambition directly on a Devil Fruit!
But when news of this Devil Fruit came to him, Ichiji naturally wouldn't give it up.
He glanced at both Germa and the Jeffrey Pirates, who were still staring blankly at him, and then indifferently said to Law and Mack: "I expect you to end this battle within half an hour!"
"Huh?"
"Yes—"
"Bang~~ Boom~~"
"Kill all these pirates!!"
"Damn it, let's fight them to the death..."
Accompanied by shouts of battle, sporadic gunfire rang out incessantly.
For a moment, the somewhat angry and desperate pirates once again clashed with Germa.
"ROOM: Slaughterhouse!"
"Shigan!!"
"Clang~~ Clash~~"
Several of the top executives of the Jeffrey Pirates directly confronted Mack, the captain of the Sixth Combat Unit, and Law. They seemed determined to take at least two opponents with them even if they died.
Facing the intensifying war on the coast, Ichiji had no intention of intervening. He stood on the mast, engrossed in studying the abilities he had just acquired.
The Dark-Dark Fruit evidently wasn't just capable of transforming the body into darkness, possessing black hole-like gravity that could pull in,
compress, and crush anything that came into contact with darkness, as well as attracting ability users from a distance and nullifying their powers through touch!
"It's pretty much as I expected. The dark matter released completely possesses the properties of smoke, able to affect matter and energy."
"However, due to the unique nature of the Dark-Dark Fruit, the ability user themselves cannot elementalize!"
Just like how he had strangled the CP intelligence officer with black smoke from dozens of meters away, this too had its limits. Clearly, he couldn't elementalize certain parts of his body and blast them out like Logia-type ability users of the Flame-Flame Fruit or Smoke-Smoke Fruit!
"It will still take some time to explore more abilities..."
Since the Dark-Dark Fruit could be called the most heinous existence in Devil Fruit history, Ichiji believed it had far more abilities than just that: "Theoretically, darkness should possess properties like devouring and erosion, and with its powerful dark gravity, I'm sure it can be further developed on that basis..."
