G5.
As word of Dylan's speech at Dressrosa spread, the morale of the entire G5 grew even higher.
Although his words were regarded by many coalition countries and the World Government as tantamount to inciting rebellion, for the soldiers of G5, it was different.
Pirates? Pirates are nothing to fear now.
Just as the pirates themselves judged, even without Vice Admiral Dylan, the combined strength of Rear Admiral Tahir, Rear Admiral Shiryu, Rear Admiral Tom, Instructor Zephyr, and Mr. Bullet is enough to wipe out the remaining pirates. Not to mention Marineford's support!
When they first came here, many of them may have aimed to suppress the pirates or even just hoped to block the big pirates at the door of the New World. But as G5 becomes increasingly powerful, they long for "real peace" and "real equality"!
Peace is so close, how can we stand by and watch! Everyone is shouting and calling out in their hearts.
"People's hearts are already in place, where do we start?"
The others were still at their posts, and only Tahir and Nojiko were still with Dylan in his office.
"Linlin." Dylan smiled.
When he chose G5, his original first goal was the "BIG MOM" pirate group. But with the fog lifting, and some outside push, he ended up destroying the "Red Hair Pirates" first with the help of Garp and the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Oh? Not Blackbeard?"
Tahir didn't think Dylan would go to Wanokuni first because Dylan had already decided that Wanokuni was one of the few "forbidden areas" he wanted to stay away from in the world.
"Teach..." Dylan glanced towards the west. "He's used to contain them. Now their influence on Marineford has dropped drastically. The disadvantage of the national treasure... is probably that there is some kind of 'uncontrollable' or 'regional restriction'."
"So they may not be able to take the initiative to pursue Teach. Whether it's CP0 or those people in red, they may not be Teach's opponents."
"They are still waiting for me to do something. They also expected that I will definitely go to Mariejois to find them. But Teach may not. He doesn't have to go, he just needs to destroy everything."
"Mm."
Tahir nodded.
After the Dressrosa incident, the game of cards between the two sides began. But the World Government seems emboldened.
"National treasure..."
"In addition, I still need to confirm something on Linlin. This may also affect whether it goes smoothly when killing Teach later."
"Blackbeard? The secret of his twin fruits?"
Blackbeard's ability to peel off Devil Fruits is no secret among G5's top brass. His possession of the Double Fruit was also revealed two years ago after he became one of the Four Emperors. He got the "Twist-Twist Fruit" which is as destructive as the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit."
"No..."
Dylan shook his head.
"It should be three...and the Twist-Twist Fruit is the third one."
"Oh?"
Tahir's expression changed slightly, but then he seemed to think of something.
"His pirate flag...is indeed three skulls."
In most pirate groups in this world, their pirate flags are based on certain characteristics of the captain himself. For example, Monkey D. Luffy's straw hat, Red-Haired Shanks' Gryphon and the scar on his left eye, Whitebeard, Roger's beard.
So if Teach had already described his pirate flag as three skulls and eight bones...
"What do the eight bones... represent?"
This is contrary to common sense.
"An octopus, right? That should be his first fruit. But that's not what I care about. The gap between him and the national treasure cannot be smoothed out by more fruits."
Tahir nodded. In the battle of Dressrosa, Rocks himself had already shown a power far beyond three fruits.
Teach...
Judging from his performance at the Summit War, he relies too much on his Devil Fruit abilities, although he has the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to neutralize other Devil Fruit abilities.
But...
Don't forget that in addition to being a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Dylan is also a top-notch Haki user and swordsman.
"Why do you think Teach can gain three fruit abilities?"
The dark green folding fan rotated on Tahir's slender fingertips. He pondered for a moment and then said, "The Twist-Twist Fruit is not within the scope of discussion, because it is a Paramecia fruit that is relatively ordinary in itself."
"Dark-Dark Fruit...probably not, because according to our secret sources, the Five Elders once commented that no one in history has been able to take double fruits and not die. So this buff obviously does not come from the Dark-Dark Fruit."
"The octopus fruit? Zoan?"
After finishing speaking, Tahir's brows wrinkled up, something was actually not quite right...
It is true that octopuses have three hearts...but the problem is...Teach's essence should still be human...
"It seems that you have thought that his essence is still human, unless his body is an octopus, naturally has three hearts, and the original blood factor structure is different from that of humans."
"But I don't think so."
Because Blackbeard has a childhood. He should have been born in the Land of Snow? It could also be Drum Island.
Dylan knocked on the table and sorted out his thoughts: "First of all, the octopus fruit can indeed allow people to possess certain octopus characteristics. But we all know that characteristics do not represent eternal and essential changes. For example, Dalton, he ate the Ox-Ox Fruit. So does he have 4 stomachs now?"
"Jack, he ate the Mammoth Fruit, but he is still a fishman in essence. In addition, the fruit's ability can be imprisoned or deprived. It can be seen from this that the transformation is not essential, but additional. Unless he can reach my level..."
Dylan smiled, "But obviously Teach is still far from that."
"Then, if we use this as an argument, the benefits brought by the octopus fruit are eliminated!"
If Teach has reached his height, then why is he still lurking around? He could just punch Whitebeard to death and that's it. There is no need to engage in so many conspiracies.
"Soul?"
Dylan nodded, "This is the direction I need to prove, but not all."
"Look..." Dylan drew three circles on the table.
"Soul...or personality...well...there are still some people in this world who have multiple personalities, but can they eat double fruits?"
"Cavendish of the White Horse?"
"Yes, but split personality shouldn't be considered multiple souls. This is at best some kind of mental illness. But it's also a reference direction."
Dylan pulled out three photos. These are photos of Blackbeard taken at different times. Tahir just looked at them and then showed a confused look.
The missing tooth is different in every photo. There are 3 missing. There are 4 missing. There are also those where no teeth are missing.
"I think there are three complete souls in his body. And he went to Drum Island back then just to improve the defects in his body - three complete souls, matched with three real hearts!"
"Did he show the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit in the day he killed Thatch, the captain of the Fourth Division of the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Tahir recalled for a while and then shook his head, "There is no record. The first time should be Banaro Island."
"So at that time, he got the Dark-Dark Fruit, but he didn't eat it right away! He was waiting, waiting for the right moment."
"After getting the Dark-Dark Fruit, he immediately set off to Drum Island and found the old witch to transform his body."
"In Summit War, what he wanted to experiment with was just to capture the Shock-Shock Fruit, not to 'eat the second fruit'."
