After all, in Impel Down, eating only once every three days is quite normal.
The decline in strength is naturally quite severe.
And to recover.
It's not something that can be done overnight or in a short time like the 797 incident.
It will take a long time to recover the damage to the body.
As for the original members of the Blackbeard Pirates...
Although they were crew members carefully selected by Blackbeard Teach.
However, their own strength is no match for these former prisoners from Impel Down.
That's why they seemed somewhat vulnerable when facing Whitebeard's attacks.
Otherwise, they should have been able to withstand a few more blows before collapsing.
Although the Blackbeard Pirates only delayed Whitebeard for a few seconds.
Blackbeard Teach, however, has recovered considerably.
Although he could still feel pain in his body.
But at this moment, Blackbeard Teach had no choice but to stand up and prepare to fight.
He hasn't become the Pirate King yet, and he doesn't want to die like this.
However, Whitebeard's next attack was imminent.
Blackbeard Teach could only passively take the beating.
And because of the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to absorb damage.
Blackbeard Teach survived Whitebeard's beating for over ten minutes and was still alive.
The screams were just a bit too loud.
Even Simon couldn't help but admire Blackbeard Teach's tenacious vitality.
Even Xiaoqiang would be ashamed of himself in comparison!
This also made Ximen Yan very envious of the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to absorb damage.
After all, its ability to save one's life is too strong.
Chapter 414 Seizing the Dark-Dark Fruit
Simon looked at the somewhat miserable-looking Blackbeard Teach and fell into deep thought.
He wants the Dark Fruit.
In the world of One Piece.
After a user dies, the Devil Fruit they ate will be randomly reborn somewhere in the world.
It would be unwise for the Dark-Dark Fruit to reappear after Blackbeard Teach's death.
After all, the time he can spend in the One Piece world is limited.
Another issue is finding the Dark Fruit that allows for rebirth; it's still unknown how long that will take.
Blackbeard Teach wanted the Dark-Dark Fruit.
However, he had been lurking in the Whitebeard Pirates for two or three decades.
That's how they were lucky enough to encounter the Dark-Dark Fruit.
If we're unlucky...
You may never encounter the Dark-Dark Fruit in your entire life.
However, this is under normal circumstances.
In fact, there are ways to plunder the abilities of others.
For example, the Dark-Dark Fruit allows one to steal another's Devil Fruit.
Of course, this can only happen after the ability user dies.
As for why it was possible to do so.
Ximen Yan had pretty much guessed it.
There is a very special kind of energy in Devil Fruits.
This energy is what allows people to master all sorts of strange abilities.
When he was cooking Devil Fruits before.
The most crucial thing is actually dealing with the energy within the Devil Fruit.
Therefore, Ximen Yan speculated that the Dark-Dark Fruit was able to steal the abilities of Devil Fruits.
It must have used the gravity of the dark water to absorb the energy left behind by the deceased ability user.
Then find a suitable fruit to allow this energy to enter.
This fruit will then become a Devil Fruit.
This completes the theft of Devil Fruit abilities.
However, the Dark-Dark Fruit is now in the hands of Blackbeard Teach.
Therefore, this method is naturally not feasible for siphonitis.
However, as long as we can find a way to trap the energy of the deceased ability user.
It is also possible to steal Devil Fruit abilities.
Having mastered various methods, Ximen Yan was still somewhat confident about this.
This will require some time to research.
And that's what he needs to do most right now.
Of course, it's to stop Whitebeard from killing Blackbeard Teach directly!
However, it was clear that Whitebeard wouldn't let Blackbeard Teach live for long.
Therefore, Ximenyan decided to give it a try first.
It would be best if it succeeded, but if it didn't, that would be even better.
That only means he's not destined to have the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Even so, it will still take some time to set it up.
Therefore, it is still necessary to prevent Whitebeard from killing Blackbeard Teach immediately.
Simon asked Blackbeard Teach to live a little longer.
Whitebeard thought for a moment and then agreed.
After all, Ximen Yan healed Ace and temporarily restored his strength.
It's just to let Blackbeard Teach live a little longer.
Whitebeard couldn't very well refuse such a request.
Of course, Ximenyan didn't linger for too long.
First, there's the barrier, made from a magical artifact crafted by Kikyo; all you need to do is stick it into the ground.
As for whether the energy from the Devil Fruit can be retained.
Ximenyan was also unsure, as he had not conducted any experiments.
But it's worth setting up, just in case it actually works!
Next is the binding magic circle stone tablet.
This was also pre-planned.
After all, binding magic circles can bind a person's soul.
This is the most crucial reason why people inside the maze can be resurrected.
Ximen Yan had naturally studied it carefully.
There have even been some positive results.
However, the energy within a Devil Fruit is not a soul.
The binding magic circle may not be as effective as desired.
It needs to be modified.
Ximen Yan took out some sea stone shackles.
Then a ball of flame appeared from Ximen Yan's hand and enveloped the sea stone shackles.
Although sea stone is very sturdy.
However, under the full force of Ximen Yan's flames, it quickly began to melt.
Under Ximen Yan's control, the melted sea stone flowed into the carved magic patterns.
Seastone has a powerful effect in countering Devil Fruit abilities.
Seastone is used as the magic runes for the binding magic circle.
It should have a very good effect.
……
After setting it up.
Simon placed the unconscious Blackbeard Teach into the binding magic circle.
In fact, when Ximen Yan began making preparations.
During the Warring States period, the navy was already on high alert.
After all, Ximenyan's setup was similar to when he treated Ace.
The reason we didn't act immediately was...
This was entirely due to the perspective of the Warring States period.
It would be better to wait until Ximen Yan begins treating Baihuzi before taking action now; that would be more effective.
After all, Whitebeard obviously couldn't leave the stone slab with the strange pattern during treatment.
Ximen Yan also needs to chant strange incantations.
At this point, wouldn't both of them become targets?
However, what Ximen Yan did next left Zhan Guo puzzled.
What was the meaning of putting Blackbeard Teach on that stone slab?
Surely Simon doesn't want to treat Blackbeard Teach?
This is obviously unlikely.
It wasn't just the Warring States period that didn't understand.
The Blackbeard Pirates, whose crew suffered heavy casualties at Whitebeard's hands while trying to save Blackbeard Teach, were also baffled.
However, at this moment they could only watch as Simon Yan manipulated their captain.
……
Ximen Yan nodded to the white-bearded man.
Then the white-bearded man raised the broadsword in his hand and spun it around a few times.
Then he suddenly slashed at Blackbeard Teach's neck.
Even if Blackbeard Teach has a tenacious will to survive, a single blow can be fatal.
This time, there was no way to reverse the situation.
Soon, Blackbeard Teach's life force began to dissipate.
