After a while, when he calmed down a little, Crocodile picked up the Den Den Mushi on the table and dialed a number.
"boss?"
A somewhat doubtful voice came from the other side of the Den Den Mushi.
"Well, please send a message to all members of the Baroque Works for me.
"Use all possible means to monitor the Sunblade Pirates. -"
"But we must not provoke them."
Morax said seriously.
I am unhappy with Rosen.
But Crocodile still knows that there is an essential gap in strength between the Baroque Works he controls and the Flame Blade Pirates controlled by Rosen.
At least before he actually obtained the Ancient Weapon Pluton, he didn't plan to fight the Pirates of the Blade because of a mere traitor like Nico Robin.
However, Crocodile would never have thought that Princess Vivi, who wanted to overthrow Baroque Works, had already begun to act.
Her goal is to lead Rosen to Alabasta, even if she needs to give up everything and become Rosen's exclusive princess.
"However, the captain of the 4th division of the Whitebeard Pirates was killed by a Blackbeard Teach."
"He also stole the Dark Fruit that has the ability to restrain the Devil Fruit."
"That guy Whitebeard is really going backwards as he gets older."
Crocodile thought of some of the descriptions of Blackbeard's Seventh Generation in the newspapers and smiled sarcastically.
Having said that, I think of the description in the newspaper about the Dark Fruit ability that Blackbeard now possesses.
Crocodile still felt a little cautious.
This caution is not in response to the possibility mentioned in the newspaper that Rosen claimed that Blackbeard also has the ability of two Devil Fruits.
But it is targeted at the characteristics of Dark Fruit.
Crocodile raised his sandy hands, frowning.
"It can suppress the power of Devil Fruit."
"In other words, if I'm caught by him, I won't be able to use the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit?"
Crocodile muttered.
After a while, he let out a long breath.
"Although I don't know whether what is described in the newspaper is true or false, I will just treat it as true for now.
"If I meet Teach in the future, I need to pay more attention to his abilities."
Crocodile said.
After all, all his strength lies in the use of Devil Fruit, and as for Tyrant... he really neglected to exercise.
If he accidentally finds himself unable to use the Devil Fruit's abilities, Crocodile feels that his fate will probably not be much better than that of Thatch.
In fact, it may be worse.
After all, as a Devil Fruit, he might become the nourishment for the Blackbeard Pirates led by Teach.
If the two meet in the future, Crocodile doesn't think Teach will be tempted by a Logia Devil Fruit that can manipulate sand.
Crocodile isn't the only one who thinks this way.
Many demon fruit powers who saw the newspaper had similar thoughts about Blackbeard.
Of course, they were more afraid of Rosen from the Flameblade Pirates.
After all, although Rosen does not seem to have the power of Blackbeard, Nochigo, a crew member of the Flameblade Pirates, possesses the power of Blackbeard's Dark Fruit.
...… Although the ability of the mythical beast Devil Fruit is very enviable, no one would want to become the nourishment for Rosen to create the mythical beast Devil Fruit ability.
However, although Rosen is a little scary, the fact that Nochigo can take away the Devil Fruit's ability has attracted the attention of quite a few people.
Some people even had the idea of taking Nochigo away from the Mason ship.
On the other side, where the Blackbeard Pirates are located.
"Damn it, it hurts so much, why does it still hurt so much after all this time?"
"Ship's doctor, can't you think of a solution?"
Teach lay on the hospital bed, tossing and turning and screaming.
When the Blackbeard Pirates' ship doctor Poison Q heard Teach's words, he looked over with some helplessness.
"Captain, you should already know this."
"You are in this situation on your own."
"Even I can't do anything about it."
"Ah, it's because both your darkness and Nochigo's darkness are too overbearing."
Poison Q sighed and said.
"Is there really no other way? This is really too painful."
Teach howled in pain.
Just kidding, because of the Dark Fruit, he felt double the pain.
Although before eating the Dark Fruit, he was prepared to endure the pain.
But he never imagined that he would experience such pain.
It's no wonder that, corroded by the darkness of the same attribute, the pain that Dark Fruit brings to Teach is not just twice, but three times, or even more times, the pain of Zero.
