Pirate Death Arrives.

Chapter 1231 Retreat

The power of the Dark-Dark Fruit lies in its ability to restrain the abilities of other devil fruits and suppress other ability users.

If this point cannot be brought into play, then the value of this devil fruit will be cut in half.

At the same time, it cannot be included in the ranks of god-level devil fruits.

It is worth mentioning that.

The reason why Blackbeard is able to hunt other people with special abilities and obtain their devil fruits is also because he relies on the special ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit to restrain the power of devil fruits.

When other ability users die, the devil fruit power that should have returned to the sea will be suppressed by him, and he can control that power and force it into another ordinary fruit.

Thus, a new devil fruit was born!

This is the second extremely terrifying ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit besides restraining the abilities of other Devil Fruits.

With this ability, Blackbeard can still be pushed to the top.

At the same time, it can also help him develop a group of very powerful subordinates.

Keep the Blackbeard Pirates competitive enough.

Even challenge other emperor-level pirate groups!

In the original plot.

To be honest, the reason why Blackbeard was able to replace Whitebeard and become the new Four Emperors was that the hidden bug-level ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit played at least 50% to 60% of the key role.

Blackbeard's army of people with special abilities also stands out from the crowd.

Even later on, he set his sights on the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, wanting to plunder their devil fruits. This also shows how big Blackbeard's ambition is!

Unfortunately.

Now, everything is ruined because of Luo Di's appearance.

At least, at this stage, and even in the next few months, it will be difficult for Blackbeard to get out of his current predicament.

Even if he gets out, there are still more difficulties waiting for him.

The first thing that comes to mind is how he can find a powerful devil fruit that can perfectly replace Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Because the quality of the second devil fruit will directly affect his future growth limit.

If his second devil fruit was a very ordinary devil fruit, then Blackbeard would not be able to become the new Four Emperors or even surpass the Four Emperors. He might not even be able to compare with the vice-emperors of the remaining emperor-class pirate groups in the New World.

in this way.

All his ambitions will be in vain.

Although his achievements still surpass those of most pirates on the sea, they are very mediocre compared to his own potential.

It can be said that his talent was wasted in vain.

Therefore, finding a second high-quality devil fruit as soon as possible is the most important thing Blackbeard should do now!

However, it is obvious that it is not easy to find a substitute for a devil fruit of the level of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Even if Blackbeard finally finds the devil fruit, how to kill the current owner of the devil fruit will still be a big problem.

Therefore, it would be almost impossible for Blackbeard to get out of the predicament without three to five months.

Anyway, in Luo Di's opinion, it would be difficult for Blackbeard to achieve anything, at least in the short term.

Coupled with the wasted two or three months, it greatly delayed Blackbeard's pace.

This forced his Blackbeard Pirates to put on the brakes again, and their growth rate also slowed down.

Besides.

Those legendary pirates who had just joined the Blackbeard Pirates not long ago also felt a little dissatisfied with Blackbeard.

If Blackbeard fails to give them what they want in the future, it is only a matter of time before they rebel and turn against him.

Although their characters had been greatly dulled during the years they were imprisoned in Impel Down, they were, after all, legendary pirates who had once roamed the seas for a period of time.

As for ambition, I definitely have it!

Otherwise, they would not have chosen to join Blackbeard and continue fighting on the sea.

Wouldn't it be nice to just retire and go back to the first half of the Grand Line or even to a more remote place like the Four Seas to retire?

No need to fight or worry about the navy's attention, and life is quite comfortable.

Just like, uh, Rayleigh, the 'Pluto' of Roger's Pirates.

For more than 20 years since Roger's death, nothing unexpected happened to Rayleigh.

In fact, he lives in the Sabaody Archipelago!

Where is the Chabaoti Archipelago?

That is right next to the Navy Headquarters in Marinford and the holy land of Marijoa on the Red Earth Continent.

A legendary pirate has lived peacefully in a place like this for more than 20 years. Tsk tsk, I'm afraid no one would believe it if I told others about it.

But Rayleigh actually did it.

Even now, everything is still safe and sound.

Could it be that the navy and the world government have not noticed his existence for all these years?

Obviously, it is absolutely impossible!

As the most capable assistant of the former Pirate King Roger, Rayleigh can definitely be said to be a very dangerous existence.

There is no way the navy and the world government will leave him behind.

There are two reasons why he was not arrested.

First, after the disbandment of Roger's pirate group, Rayleigh has been very stable and has not caused any trouble.

If he caused a scene at the Marine Headquarters like Shiki the 'Golden Lion' did, to be honest, Rayleigh's fate would not be much better than Shiki's.

Although Rayleigh is very strong, it is still a bit ridiculous to ask him to face the entire Navy Headquarters alone.

What's more, as time goes by, he gets older and his strength declines more obviously.

The legend will eventually come to an end, and Roger and Whitebeard are undoubtedly the best proof of this.

For 'ordinary people' like Rayleigh who have never eaten a devil fruit, their bodies will age faster and more seriously.

If the navy wants to deal with him, it can still do it.

All it takes is for a few more general-level warriors to be dispatched, and Rayleigh will have absolutely no chance of escaping.

However, perhaps because of Rayleigh's "knowledge", his behavior since the disbandment of Roger's pirate group can be described as low-key, which is completely fine.

For more than twenty years, nothing was done.

Besides gambling, he drinks.

On the surface, Rayleigh is not much different from ordinary people.

Naturally, the navy and the world government paid less attention to him.

Subconsciously, I think he is not a threat.

Next.

The second point is also the key.

There are some reasons why Rayleigh could become the right-hand man of Pirate King Roger.

Many high-ranking officers in the navy have personally experienced his strength.
