However, while others may not know much about Teach, the Whitebeard Pirates are very familiar with him.
They all know one thing: Teach's body is different from ordinary people, and the biggest abnormality he exhibits is that he doesn't need to sleep.
People on the ship jokingly say that Teach has several times more time than them, referring to the fact that while others are asleep, Teach remains awake.
If the Dark-Dark Fruit really has the ability to plunder Devil Fruit powers, Teach's special body might indeed be capable of acquiring the Tremor-Tremor Fruit for himself.
Whitebeard looked at Teach and wondered, "Is that your true goal?"
"You captured Ace, traded him for the Warlords, orchestrated the war at Marineford, and instigated a war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates. Teach, is your true goal the Tremor-Tremor Fruit within me?"
"What a grand scheme you have!"
Whitebeard turned to Luo ke and said, "Answer: D, to acquire the Tremor-Tremor Fruit power of Whitebeard."
Upon hearing Whitebeard's answer, everyone looked at Luo ke, eagerly awaiting his response.
Luo ke nodded slightly and affirmed, "Correct answer."
The confirmation caused a stir worldwide.
No one expected that the Dark-Dark Fruit could actually accomplish such a feat.
From now on, it seemed that anyone with abilities would have to keep their distance from the Whitebeard Pirates, or else they would be walking into a trap.
Although the Dark-Dark Fruit was no longer in the hands of Teach, it was still in the possession of Sachi from the Whitebeard Pirates. With the Four Emperors and the Dark-Dark Fruit combined, defeated ability users would be completely wiped out without a trace.
Immediately, the pirates who were about to set sail for the New World abandoned their thoughts of challenging Whitebeard.
They couldn't afford to walk into the lion's den.
At the Marine Headquarters, the faces of the Three Admirals also turned extremely grave. If it were true, they would have to be more cautious when dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates in the future.
The Three Admirals of the Navy each possessed terrifying Devil Fruit abilities.
Whether it was the Magma, Ice, or Light Fruit, they were all considered top-notch among the Paramecia fruit users.
If such fruit abilities were to fall into the hands of the enemy, it would be a tremendous blow to the Navy.
Furthermore, having their powers plundered also meant the death of the ability users.
With one more powerful natural ability user in the enemy's ranks and one fewer Admiral in theirs, the situation would become even more unfavorable.
In the future, dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates would require deploying at least two or more Admirals and strong non-ability users.
Otherwise, if they were restrained by the Dark-Dark Fruit and seized the opportunity, even the Admirals would be helpless in such a situation.
However, the news was even worse for the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.
Almost everyone in their crews were ability users.
Now that the Whitebeard Pirates had this new ability to plunder their Devil Fruit powers, they felt like they were pieces of meat on a chopping board!
The only consolation was that the Dark-Dark Fruit could only nullify abilities and didn't drain the stamina of the users like Sea Prism Stone. They were not completely defenseless and still had some means to counter.
However, it was still highly disadvantageous for them. Whitebeard was already troublesome enough, and now there was an additional Dark-Dark Fruit user—it was truly annoying.
On the Moby Dick, Luo ke continued, saying:
"Teach, Blackbeard, planned the true purpose of the war at Marineford to seize Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit. His body is different from ordinary people, allowing him to possess multiple Devil Fruit powers.
After obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit, which can nullify abilities, absorb various attacks, and devour all kinds of damage, Teach (Blackbeard) has always wanted to acquire the most powerful offensive fruit ability.
With such power, he would be able to excel in both offense and defense, leaving no weaknesses.
When it comes to the world's strongest offensive fruit, nothing surpasses Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit. This led to the Summit War, where Teach orchestrated a plan to weaken Whitebeard and his crew by involving the Marines. The goal was to create an opportunity to kill Whitebeard and claim his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
At the same time, Teach aimed to prove his strength to the new members of the Blackbeard Pirates and solidify his position as their captain.
After successfully killing Whitebeard, Blackbeard, Teach, took the Tremor-Tremor Fruit from Whitebeard's body and obtained the powers of both the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, becoming a dual-fruit user.
His first act after acquiring the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was to use this newfound power to destroy Marineford, the headquarters of the Marines.
This revelation from Luo ke contains significant information.
Many find it hard to believe that someone could become a dual-fruit user, possessing both the fearsome Dark-Dark Fruit and the devastating Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
If someone truly possesses both of these fruits, it would be truly remarkable.
The news shocked the Marines, including Marineford and the admirals. The Summit War not only failed to eliminate one of the Four Emperors but instead gave rise to a young pirate with even more terrifying abilities.
It wasn't a case of gaining a small advantage at the cost of some losses; it was losing the advantage entirely.
They had originally thought that Teach would at most give the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to someone else, thereby weakening the Whitebeard Pirates' strength. However, they didn't expect that Teach himself would become a dual-fruit user. What kind of monster is this guy?
To think of having both the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is chilling.
Previously, the Marines, including the admirals, had contemplated letting Teach take the Dark-Dark Fruit, thinking it would weaken the Whitebeard Pirates. Now, the situation unexpectedly seems more acceptable.
Moreover, Teach is much harder to deal with than Whitebeard. At least Whitebeard had no ambitions, followed rules, and wasn't as scheming.
Teach, on the other hand, orchestrated the Summit War to seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, manipulating everyone in the process and using any means necessary to achieve his goals.
If this guy were to succeed, the world would have a pirate far more dangerous than Whitebeard.
Fortunately, thanks to the appearance ofLuo ke, Teach's plan was exposed even before it began.
However, what they are even more curious about now is Teach's body and its structure. What kind of structure allows him to become a dual-fruit user? If there was a chance to hand him over to the scientific division for research, they might be able to find the answers.
Of course, this is just speculation for now, as Teach is currently in the hands of Whitebeard.
At this moment, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates finally understood the reasons behind the Summit War. It was all Teach's (Blackbeard's) scheme, all for the sake of their father's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability.
That despicable and treacherous scum!
Teach felt an indescribable heartache at this moment.
He had waited for so many years and finally obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit, seeing his dream about to come true.
But it had all turned out like this.
What pained him even more was hearing that if nothing unexpected happened, he would have taken Whitebeard's power and become the only dual-fruit user in the world.
The thought of having the Tremor-Tremor Fruit in his left hand and the Dark-Dark Fruit in his right, that immense power, it was simply explosive.
However, now everything had gone down the drain, and Teach harbored such hatred and regret in his heart...
But he didn't show all these emotions. He knew one thing very clearly: as long as he stayed alive, anything was possible. This was by no means the end.
Moreover, there was still some good news for him. He was certain that he could possess multiple Devil Fruits.
Previously, it was only speculation without certainty, but now he was sure it was true. As long as he survived, there would still be opportunities!
Whitebeard looked at Teach and sighed in relief. At least Teach wasn't trying to kill him out of resentment for being a lousy father; it was purely driven by ambition.
With that, he could be at ease. He had been doubting himself, wondering if he had failed as a father, leading to his sons' betrayal.
Now it seemed that it wasn't because he had done poorly, but rather his existence hindered Teach's ambition.
He no longer felt burdened by this realization.
Meanwhile, Luo ke posed the seventh question:
"Question: Who put an end to the Summit War?
Here are four options: A. Teach of the Blackbeard Pirates, B. Big Mom of the Big Mom Pirates, C. Shanks of the Red Hair Pirates, D. Kaido of the Beasts Pirates.
Two minutes time limit, countdown starts now."
