One Piece: Invincible Starting From The Fruit Of Words

Whitebeard looked at the newspaper in his hand, unable to hide his shock.

"Is that old woman, Charlotte, dead?"

Whitebeard focused more on Big Mom's death than Lucifer's abilities.

After all, he and Big Mom shared a friendship.

They had once sailed on the same pirate ship in their youth.

"Dad, Lucifer can not only use the abilities of the Marine Three Admirals, but also the power of the Earthquake Fruit!"

Marco said loudly.

"Ah, I see."

Whitebeard stared at the close-up photo of Lucifer shattering space, silent.

At this moment, he truly didn't know what to say.

Seeing someone use your abilities was a strange feeling that words couldn't describe.

"What a terrifying kid."

After a long time, that was all Whitebeard could say.

"Is that all?"

Marco felt a little speechless at Whitebeard's calmness, and his dead fish eyes were even duller.

Is this the attitude of a legendary pirate? He can stay calm in the face of such shocking news?

Marco felt that compared to Dad Whitebeard, he was still far behind.

Whitebeard could stay calm, but the many pirates aboard couldn't remain composed.

To them, the Shock Fruit was exclusive to Whitebeard.

"Dad, Lucifer is using your power."

"Yup."

"This guy is simply too arrogant."

At this, Whitebeard just laughed.

"Don't worry about it, you fools."

"This great sea has never belonged to anyone in particular. If he can use it, then it's his power."

"Ability is ability, strength is strength—these are completely different!"

"Lucifer has proven his strength by his record. He's already such a man!"

Marco nodded, and the surrounding captains and countless pirates also calmed down.

Yes, Lucifer had already proven his strength by taking down Big Mom.

Even if he could use Whitebeard's power, so what?

Could it be that Lucifer was going to start a war because of that?

Don't be ridiculous.

"Yeah, Lucifer is already a real monster."

"Even if he can use Dad's power, there's nothing we can do about it."

"With one against two, he can still kill Big Mom and seriously injure Kaido. Lucifer's strength might be the strongest in the world."

A pirate said this involuntarily.

Just after he finished speaking, the pirate realized that everyone around him was focusing on him.

"What... what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Are you ashamed to ask what's wrong?"

"The strongest in the world is Dad! No matter how strong Lucifer is, how can he be Dad's opponent?"

"That's right, that's right! Dad is the strongest man in the world!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates had extreme admiration for Whitebeard, and no one could shake Whitebeard's position in their hearts.

Although they were awed by Lucifer's strength, they still believed that Whitebeard was the strongest in the world.

"Gu la la la! Sons, don't say such silly things."

"Everyone grows old!"

Whitebeard had a big heart and wasn't bothered by these battles.

His strength and status didn't need a title to prove them.

At the same time, Whitebeard knew in his heart that Lucifer, who could kill Big Mom and seriously injure Kaido by himself, had surpassed him in strength.

Over the years, he had grown older, with hidden injuries and a serious decline in his strength.

Lucifer, on the other hand, was at the peak of his prime and would only grow stronger.

If the two truly fought, Whitebeard knew he would be the loser.

"A new generation replaces the old. This sea is truly wonderful."

Whitebeard picked up a wine gourd and began to drink.

His eyes were complicated as he looked at the distant sea, his gaze seeming to travel through time, back to the old era.

Back then, heroes from all over the world rose side by side.

He, Luo Jie, Golden Lion, Garp, Sengoku, Big Mom, Kaido, and others roamed the seas freely, with great joy.

Though they were enemies, they had formed a bond through their battles.

They had respected each other, even though they fought. In one moment, they could fight to the death, and in the next, they could drink and feast together.

"How time flies."

Whitebeard took a sip of his wine and couldn't help but sigh.

The past decades seemed like they happened yesterday, and the memories were still vivid in his mind.

But now, Luo Jie was dead, Golden Lion was missing, and he, Garp, and Sengoku were all aging.

New rookies like Red-Haired Shanks and Lucifer were now rising to prominence on the sea.

Red-Haired Shanks had become one of the Four Emperors, and Lucifer had killed Big Mom to become the new Four Emperor.

The man once known as the strongest pirate in the world had now been surpassed.

This was the cruelty of time.

It treated no one with mercy.

In the face of time, no matter how strong a person was, no matter how great their reputation was, they would eventually be wiped away.

In the corner, Blackbeard Teach stared at the newspaper with complicated eyes and trembling hands.

Upon seeing the news, his mind nearly shattered.

"Word Spirit Fruit? What kind of fruit is this? I've never heard of it before!"

"Can use the power of all elements, even the Earthquake ability?"

"Why? Why is there such a fruit?"

Blackbeard had been hiding within the Whitebeard Pirates for nearly twenty years, all to obtain the Dark Fruit.

With the Dark Fruit, combined with his unusual body, he could steal Whitebeard's Shock Fruit, becoming the first person to wield the powers of two Devil Fruits.

At that point, he would replace Whitebeard and become the new emperor.

With the power of two Devil Fruits, Blackbeard believed that the future would be his era.

But now, as soon as Lucifer's Word Spirit Fruit appeared, the Dark Fruit seemed utterly ridiculous.

Lucifer's abilities mocked Blackbeard, trampling over his years of ambition.

What was the point of the Dark Fruit when Lucifer had the Word Spirit Fruit?

Not only could Lucifer use the abilities of the Marine Three Admirals, but he could also wield the Shock Fruit—the very power Blackbeard had long coveted.

Even with the Dark Fruit's power, the Word Spirit Fruit was superior.

Even if Blackbeard succeeded in obtaining the Dark Fruit, completing his plan, he would still be nothing compared to Lucifer's fruit.

Lucifer's power eclipsed his own, and Blackbeard knew he had no chance of victory.

At this moment, Blackbeard realized how ridiculous his plans and ambitions were.

Before he could even start, Lucifer had already crushed them.

"Lucifer! Word Spirit Fruit!"

"Why? Why didn't I get this fruit?"

"If I could have this power? What Marine, what Four Emperors—everyone would bow to me!"

"This fruit should belong to me!"

Blackbeard's sanity snapped, his jealousy driving him mad. He could barely maintain the facade he had kept for many years, and malice and murderous intent radiated from him.

Fortunately, at that moment, the pirates on the ship were all engrossed in the newspapers, discussing Lucifer. Whitebeard was also lost in his contemplation of life, so no one noticed Blackbeard's abnormal behavior.

"I won't just let this go. I must get the Dark Fruit."

"I can't wait any longer. I have to make a move!"

Blackbeard stared at Lucifer's photo, cold light flashing in his pupils.

The rapid rise of Lucifer had brought immense shock to Blackbeard, and with it, a sense of urgency.

Blackbeard realized that he couldn't simply stay in the Whitebeard Pirates, waiting for the Dark Fruit to come to him.

Though the chances of obtaining the Dark Fruit were greatest within the Whitebeard Pirates, it wasn't guaranteed.

He had to take the initiative and search for it.

New World, Wano Kuni.

"Impossible, how could Captain Kaido be defeated? Impossible!"

Quinn's scream echoed through the Ghost Island palace, mixed with the distant sound of birdsong.

News from the Morgans spread quickly, reaching the Beasts Pirates before Kaido even returned to Wano Kuni.

The pirates in the palace read the newspaper, breaking out in cold sweat, and fell silent like cicadas.

They couldn't believe that Kaido had been defeated, especially when it was with the help of Big Mom.

But the facts were right in front of them, and they couldn't deny it.

"Fortunately, Captain Kaido's life is safe. At least he didn't die in Lucifer's hands like that old woman, Big Mom!"

Flame Calamity Ember was holding a life card, more than half of which had been burned.

It proved that Kaido was still alive, although he was seriously injured.

As long as Kaido wasn't dead, it didn't matter to the Beasts Pirates.
