When they first met, the situation was too critical, and the information they could gather was very limited!
Robin deduced that the last piece of the Poneglyph must be sleeping in the Giant Kingdom!
This is connected by all the previous clues. She needs to obtain some ancient maps and documents about this country in order to accurately locate the last piece of the historical text!
"In that case, let's split into three groups and advance!"
“Crocodile, you haven’t been exposed yet, so continue to blend into the search party and report the whereabouts of the searchers to us at any time. If anything happens, contact us immediately using a white Den Den Mushi!” Robin said to his former superior.
"You want me to be an undercover agent for you? Who knows if you'll keep your promise?!" Crocodile was inherently suspicious. Being an undercover agent wasn't a problem; they did need this intelligence!
The problem is, what if they send him away just to keep him occupied for a short time, and then secretly abandon him? He'd be an idiot!
"In that case, it's not something I can't consider!" With the Straw Hat Boy by my side.
Based on my understanding of Straw Hat Boy, he would never abandon his friends!
"Bepo, Jinbe, Law, and I disguised ourselves and went to the library of the Giant Kingdom to confirm some things and gather intelligence! We met up in the square in front of the Giant Palace at dusk!"
"Luffy, you guys take Vegapunk and head to the Giant's Palace Plaza via the underground route Law just gave us!"
"The arrangement itself is fine, but once we get to the palace, will we be allowed inside? There might be World Government spies inside!" Nami asked with some concern.
“Don’t worry, even my clone doesn’t know about my relationship with the Giants’ Palace. I always go to the Giants’ Kingdom by myself. Once I get to this building near the palace, there’s a secret route that leads directly to the palace! I have a way to get in!” Becapunk said, pointing to a spot on the map.
"That solves everything! Let's get started!"
"Uh-huh!"……
Soon, the dozen or so people split into three groups and advanced!
Meanwhile, the underground megacity was in complete chaos! Everyone was searching for Luffy and Law!
With Bonnie's abilities, they had the best disguise!
Bonney turned Luffy, Zoro, Vegapunk, and others into children or old people!
Even if the Navy knows Bonney's abilities, it will be difficult for them to be discovered unless they have seen the elderly and young Luffy and his crew!
If discovered, Bonnie is there, and she can immediately dispel this ability and restore her fighting strength!
As for Robin, Crocodile, and the others, they have their own more convenient ways of disguising themselves!
If Bonnie isn't around, and Robin and the others in other places are exposed while they're in disguise, they won't be able to dispel their powers in time, which would weaken their fighting strength. This method won't work on them.
Moreover, given Robin's disguise abilities and intelligence gathering skills, even the previous CP0 couldn't catch her!
The video then focuses on Luffy.
Luffy was transformed into an old man by Bonney, leaning on a cane, and with an extra straw hat on him for a bit of disguise.
Bonnie, on the other hand, underwent the most rigorous disguise, because if she were recognized...
The others quickly realized that she had used her powers to change Luffy and the others' appearances!
They encountered many search teams along the way, but they all passed by without them realizing that it was the Straw Hat Boys in disguise!
"Bonnie, your abilities are amazing! Nobody recognized us at all!" Luffy exclaimed in amazement.
"Great! Maybe this will allow us to reach the vicinity of the palace smoothly!" The older version of Usopp also breathed a sigh of relief!
"Idiot! Don't call me by my name!" said Bonnie, now in her older form, who was wearing multiple disguises!
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be detected, even in the face of a pacifist's highly intelligent identification system, without obtaining their blood!
Based on the image alone, one cannot see through oneself, but that idiot Straw Hat Boy actually called out one's own name!
What if someone overhears this?
"But there are so many people searching for us! Have they all gone mad? Many of them are legendary figures from the high seas!! How terrifying!" Chopper said, somewhat frightened.
"It's okay, I just saw my grandpa, and he didn't even recognize me! Hehe!!" Luffy grinned.
Their journey went smoothly; they traveled halfway through, for almost half a day, without being discovered!
Along the way, they saw the inns, taverns, and shops in the underground city... Every household had been searched again and again by various forces, causing panic and chaos among the people!
But when they had advanced two-thirds of the way, their team just missed Blackbeard's team!
"Wait... Hey, stop right there!!" Blackbeard stopped a moment after they brushed past each other, calling out to Luffy and the others!
189. Pirate Aokiji Appears! Straw Hat Luffy and Blackbeard are natural enemies!? (Please subscribe to the full series!!)
Upon hearing Blackbeard's call to stop, everyone's expressions darkened slightly, but they quickly composed themselves.
"What is it?" the elderly Usopp asked, feigning composure.
Logically speaking, having already fooled so many people, Blackbeard shouldn't have been able to see through it!
"Straw Hat Boys, you guys are really good at disguising yourselves!" Blackbeard turned around and grinned!
"What?! How did you recognize me?!" Luffy was immediately shocked!
"It really is you!!" Blackbeard extended his hand, which was filled with black smoke, without the slightest hesitation!
"You're bluffing us?!" Nami and the others' expressions changed!
Damn it!! Luffy is still too naive! He actually fell for that trick!
"So what if I trick you?!" Blackbeard chuckled dismissively!
"Aokiji, what are you standing there for! This time, we absolutely cannot let Straw Hat Luffy escape!!" Blackbeard shouted to the surroundings as he attacked!
"Ah, I'm not your subordinate, we're just partners. Don't forget! Freeze Time!!" A lazy voice rang out, and the surrounding passageways were suddenly blocked by thick ice walls!
They wanted to ensure that even a strong opponent of the same level would need some time to break through, thus preventing Luffy and his crew from escaping. Law wasn't here right now!
We can also temporarily seal off the surrounding area, preventing others from noticing what's going on here in a short period of time!
After all, it concerns the One Piece, and as Crocodile said, nobody wants another competitor!
"Aokiji!!?" Zoro and the others' expressions changed drastically upon hearing this!! The former Marine Admiral! He actually became Blackbeard's ally!
They had heard the news before, but seeing it in person still made it hard for them to understand and accept!
A former Navy admiral, now a Yonko's ally or partner—it's all very strange!
"Great Ape King Spear!!" Boom!!
Facing Blackbeard's incoming fist, Luffy immediately entered Gear Fourth mode, unleashing a punch imbued with Haki!
Because of the Haki surrounding him, Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit ability affected Luffy to some extent even when they were at a distance!
But the moment their fists touched, the Devil Fruit's power vanished instantly, and Luffy went from Gear Fourth back to being a normal human!
The Devil Fruit power vanished instantly!! His power plummeted, and with a bang, Luffy was blasted away!!
It slammed heavily against the ice wall!
A human footprint was left on the ice wall, which was as solid as steel!
"Luffy?!"
"How is this possible?!" Chopper, Usopp, and the others' expressions changed drastically!
With Luffy's current strength, how could anyone possibly make him suffer such a huge loss in a single encounter?!
"Luffy, don't forget that Blackbeard's ability is the bane of all Devil Fruits!" Zoro reminded him.
They then remembered what Blackbeard's abilities were! As one of the Four Emperors, now that he's in the public eye, his abilities have been studied by many powerful individuals!
"Oh right, in that case, wouldn't no Devil Fruit user be a match for Blackbeard?!" Chopper exclaimed, suddenly realizing!
It was only then that viewers of the video truly realized just how much influence the Dark-Dark Fruit had on its users!
Even a strong fighter like Straw Hat Boy was sent flying in a single exchange, suffering such a great loss!
Although Rocks was a Dark-Dark Fruit user before, Roger and Garp weren't!
His ability to restrain those with special abilities was not well demonstrated before!
Looking at Straw Hat Luffy now, after careful consideration, I realize more deeply the threat posed by the Dark-Dark Fruit's power!
[Number 2, Golden Lion: Even with Conqueror's Haki, it can only ensure that the user won't be affected by the Dark-Dark Fruit's power from a distance! But if they collide at point-blank range, the user's powers will be completely nullified! We can't let him get close, but the greatest power of Conqueror's Haki is precisely at close range. This guy called Blackbeard is indeed not easy to deal with!]
[Red Hair #2: No wonder Teach was willing to infiltrate the Whitebeard Pirates for so many years just for a Devil Fruit!!]
[Number 1, Golden Lion: Besides that, what's even more terrifying is that he also possesses the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power. With the two combined, even though Straw Hat Luffy is incredibly strong, he won't be able to fully utilize it. Instead, he'll suffer extremely powerful attacks. Straw Hat Luffy is in danger!]
……
Video #2 shows Luffy being knocked away, but he fights back fiercely with a straight five!
"Gum-Gum Whip!!" Luffy swung his gum-whip!
"It's useless. In front of me, even awakened Devil Fruit users can't launch any decent attacks, Straw Hat Boy!! Today is your death day, Zehahaha!!" Blackbeard indeed met the attack head-on, his arm swinging to the side to easily block Luffy's white whip sweep!
Boom!! The moment their bodies made contact, a terrifying shockwave exploded outwards!! Luffy's Gear Fifth was already quite unstable; white mist-like energy surged above his head and around his body, as if it would dissipate at any moment!!
"How could this be?" Blackbeard was stunned for a moment, unable to immediately extinguish the Straw Hat's Devil Fruit power!
This is the first time I've encountered this situation!! If it were underground water, this wouldn't be so unusual!!
You can touch it directly; logically, this situation should never occur!
Why is it that Straw Hat Luffy's Devil Fruit ability is affected differently from others?
