Sailing begins with becoming Luffy

"Didn't you join the Whitebeard Pirates when I read the newspaper before, and how did you come to Alabastan?"

Luffy naturally knows the reason, but it's more appropriate to ask like this, otherwise it will be very troublesome to explain.

"Ahh "

"A traitor on Whitebeard's ship?"

"Yes, that guy committed a big taboo on the ship, he killed his shipmates and took away his Devil Fruit, and I, as his captain, naturally have the responsibility to arrest him!"

For Luffy, Ace didn't hide anything, and told Blackbeard about killing the captain of the fourth team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"He actually killed the crew of the world's strongest man ship for a Devil Fruit, it seems that the Devil Fruit he took is very amazing!"

Luffy said intentionally or unintentionally along with Ace's words.

You can't just tell Ace what Blackbeard's abilities are, that's too abnormal.

"Even if that Devil Fruit is strong, he doesn't have to kill Thatch at all, if he asks Thatch for it, Thatch will definitely give it to him!"

Ace's mood fluctuated a little, and it seemed that staying on Whitebeard's ship for the past two years had indeed given him a strong sense of belonging.

"It's just that guy, I will never let him go!"

"Then do you know what kind of ability he has obtained? If you go to him rashly, you can only suffer. "

Luffy continued to guide Ace through this question.

"That Devil Fruit seems to be called the Dark Fruit. "

Ace thought for a moment and said the answer Luffy wanted to hear.

"Because that guy Titch killed Thatch, the friends on the ship are very angry, what kind of fruit is it that is worth Titch killing his own family!"

When talking about his family, Ace's emotions were a little excited, and after a pause, he continued:

"For this reason, everyone deliberately flipped through the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book that Daddy had collected before, but there was no specific information on it except for the name. "

"Dark Fruit? I seem to have seen an introduction to this fruit somewhere. "

After Ace finished speaking, Luffy followed his words and said:

"This Devil Fruit is a Nature-based Devil Fruit. "

"Nature-based, if it's just a nature-based Devil Fruit, the ship has also received a Nature-based Devil Fruit before, but he hasn't expressed the idea of wanting it. "

Before Luffy could finish his words, Ace took the lead in interrupting Luffy.

"This Devil Fruit is a little different, although it is natural, it cannot be elementalized, but it absorbs the damage it receives, so I will suffer double the pain. "

"Absorb damage?"

Hearing Luffy's words, Ace finally considered this ability.

If Titch can absorb the damage he takes, it might be a bit of a problem.

From what he knew, although absorbing damage would make him suffer more pain, that Tiki guy was particularly patient, and that didn't seem to have much of an impact on him.

If you want to defeat him, the first thing to consider is whether the ability to burn the fruit can cause him effective damage?

Seeing Ace bowing his head and contemplating, Luffy didn't continue, waiting for him to sort it out first.

"Is there a limit to how much damage the Dark Fruit can absorb?"

Ace asked as he looked up at Luffy.

was stunned by Ace's words, there are not many plots of Blackbeard in the original comics, and Luffy doesn't know what the upper limit of the Dark Fruit is.

"I don't know the specifics, but it depends on how much pain he can endure, right? "

Luffy thought about it, and he could only guess so.

Ordinary natural Devil Fruit abilities may be able to automatically elementalize, but the ability of Dark Fruits should need to be actively used by the host, right?

"However, in addition to the ability to absorb damage, the Dark Fruit also has the effect of making it impossible for the person who comes into contact with the Devil Fruit ability to activate the ability. "

This is the most critical point, originally Ace may not be able to beat and still be able to escape by burning fruits, but once caught, Ace basically has no chance.

"Is there still the ability to be so troublesome?"

Originally, Ace was still very sure about capturing Blackbeard Tic, but now that he heard the ability of the Dark Fruit from Luffy's mouth, Ace only felt a little tricky.

Ace didn't doubt that the news Luffy had told him about the Dark Fruit's abilities was true.

With Ace's understanding of Luffy, Luffy would not deceive himself.

In this case, you may have to plan carefully.

Although Luffy has reminded him so much, Ace has not given up his plans to find Blackbeard.

In any case, Blackbeard must catch him in front of his father by himself.

Seeing Ace touch his chin and think again, Luffy knew that Ace hadn't given up on the idea of capturing Blackbeard.

But this is also normal, if Ace will give up easily, Luffy will just ask him to give up, why bother to explain the ability of the Dark Fruit!

But this is also the point that I hate Ace, it's too strong.

If Ace has Roger's strength, then Ace will also be strong, after all, no one can do anything to you.

But with Ace's current strength, this kind of toughness could easily kill him.

"After knowing the ability of the Dark Fruit, do you have any ways to deal with it?"

Luffy didn't say anything to make him give up the pursuit, but wanted to see if he was ready to deal with it.

"Can I defeat him if I only use ranged attacks?"

Listening to Ace's words, Luffy shook his head, the Dark Fruit has the ability to attract, and if you are not careful, you will be caught.

If you want to defeat Blackbeard with a long-range attack, unless it is Anilu's Thunder Fruit with his heart network, that is, a super-large range of seeing and hearing domineering, it is basically impossible.

Or defeat him without relying on Devil Fruits, relying solely on his own physical skills.

But Ace doesn't have either, and besides, Blackbeard still has a partner.

Although they may not have mastered domineering at the moment, if they just hinder Ace, they should still be able to do it.

"To tell you the truth, Ace, with you now, it's impossible for you to capture Blackbeard alone. "

Although the words are a bit ugly, this is not Luffy's nonsense.

Blackbeard was able to survive on Whitebeard's ship before, except for the Dark Fruit ability he had just obtained, so how could he not have any other abilities.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while, and you're still so polite!"

Ace didn't show anger or dissatisfaction with Luffy's outspokenness, but just hammered Luffy's chest absently.

"But I'm not going to give up on arresting him!"

Ace naturally understood that Luffy wanted to give up when he said this, but it was impossible for him to let go of the betrayer who killed his family.
