Chapter 12: 012 Thunder Fruit - Acquired
After killing Enel, Blackbeard tossed his lifeless body directly towards the warship.
Momousagi exhausted all her strength with one move, and being within the range of thunder explosion,. She suffered serious injuries and fell uncontrollably towards the sea.
This brief battle made those present feel like a long amount of time had gone by.
"Boom!"
A figure crashed onto the warship.
Enel was already dead, his chest completely crushed, blood still flowing.
"Gulp!"
The Marines exchanged glances; this ruthless method instilled fear in everyone.
Blackbeard flapped his wings, and in the blink of an eye, he caught the falling Momousagi, landing swiftly on the warship.
"I can't believe I played the hero and saved a beautiful woman. Gotta cut that part out of my life. Pretend you didn't see it, Zieehahaha"
Blackbeard laughed at Burgess and the others.
"Hahaha, Captain, you're trying to make me laugh myself to death!"
Burgess laughed wildly.
"Captain, you're right, it's a bit of a character breakdown"
Lafitte wholeheartedly agreed with Blackbeard's words.
"Haha, cough, cough, cough! Hahaha!"
Doc Q laughed as if he had asthma. He wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"Doc Q can save her, it'll be a problem if she dies next to me"
Blackbeard said to Doc Q.
"No... I don't need pirates to save me!"
Momousagi struggled to push herself up and staggered towards her room.
No one from the surrounding Marines dared to step forward to help her.
"Captain, I feel like this woman is perfect for you! "
Burgess laughed loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp gaze upon him, and he stopped laughing immediately.
Momousagi's cold glare just now sent shivers down his spine.
"This kind of woman is not easy to conquer; I prefer a gentler one"
Blackbeard shook his head.
"If you keep talking about this, I'll cut out your tongues!"
Momousagi interrupted in a cold tone.
Blackbeard glanced at her but didn't say anything more. He then asked Burgess to find him a piece of black cloth.
Having encountered Enel, he decided to advance his plan!
Soon, he covered Enel with a black cloth and set up a light-tight tent.
"What's he going to do? Should we inform Vice Admiral Momousagi?"
A young rear admiral asked another rear admiral, who had a scar on his face.
"It's just a corpse. You can let Vice Admiral Momousagi know what to do"
The scarred rear admiral said casually.
"Forget it"
The rear admiral who spoke first changed his expression and quickly waved his hands.
The rest of the Marines exchanged puzzled glances; no matter how hard they guessed, they couldn't fathom what Blackbeard had in mind.
Blackbeard raised the black cloth and stepped inside. Burgess and the others eagerly watched as Blackbeard disappeared within.
Entering the black cloth, Blackbeard could still see everything clearly in the darkness, being the dark man who consumed the dark fruit.
Extending his hand, a small black hole formed in front of his palm.
Gravity emanated from the black hole, piercing through Enel's body.
Soon, a force gravitated towards him, and this force was the power of the devil fruit!
Blackbeard clearly witnessed the manifestation of devil fruit power
Resembling more of a ball of energy without a distinct entity.
As the devil's power escaped from Enel's body, it sought to flee in the blink of an eye.
It needed to attach to a new fruit to create a new Thunder Fruit!
"Trying to escape?"
Blackbeard increased the pull of the black hole, and the devil fruit power was directly swallowed by the black hole
The black hole slowly contracted until it vanished into his body.
Then, a flash of thunder and lightning illuminated before his eyes, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved into a smile.
The black cloth flew up, revealing Blackbeard's figure once more in people's sight
On the outside, he didn't appear to have changed at all, and neither did Enel.
"Captain, how did it go?"
Burgess asked with wide-eyed eyes, full of expectation
"Yes, Captain!"
Van Augur, who has always been calm, couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.
"Zieehahaha! Of course, it was a success!" Blackbeard laughed loudly
There were doubts written all over the faces of the marines who were watching all this.
Blackbeard picked up Enel's body and walked to the side of the ship, tossing it into the sea.
"Haven't you seen enough?"
He directed this statement towards the Marines on the ship.
He has no intention of revealing his fruit-seizing ability at the moment.
Being able to utilize Laffitte's fruit ability allows him to maneuver discreetly, but using the Thunder Fruit cannot be easily explained. He hasn't achieved that goal yet.
He still needs to endure a bit longer before achieving his goal.
Being one of the Shichibukai doesn't satisfy his appetite.
The expressions of all the Marines changed, and they scattered in a hurry, hoping to keep a safe distance from Blackbeard.
In their opinion, Blackbeard was now like a god of plague!

At night, when everyone else had gone to sleep, Blackbeard found himself quite bored, so he brought food and wine to share with Ace.
Sure enough, Ace didn't sleep well.
"Teach!"
Ace's face darkened upon seeing Blackbeard.
"The victorious become king and the defeated is a bandit, you shouldn't look at me like this."
Blackbeard said as he walked over to Ace and sat down, placing the wine and food he brought next to Ace.
"Then how should I talk to you, you despicable person!" Ace said coldly.
"It's a pity people like you won't become my subordinates. I've always admired the strong, so I brought you some food specially. After all, you don't have much time left..."
"Pooh!!!"
Ace spat in his face.
"Zieehahaha, you're still a child compared to me, so a bit of childishness is expected. I won't care too much about it"
Blackbeard laughed loudly, then suddenly punched Ace in the abdomen.
"Of course, I won't spoil you, so please choose your words carefully next time."
