017 Tokikake Copy Fruit

"This fight has to be fair of course."

"After all, you're also a member of the Shichibukai" 

Vice Admiral Chaton said with narrowed eyes, but at the same time he was sneering in his heart.

"If you dare to hurt Gion, I'll make sure to teach you a lesson for whatever you do next."

"That's good."

Blackbeard naturally understood that the words of the other party couldn't be trusted, but he wasn't showing any weakness or deniable either way

It's not wise to reveal his true strength here at the Marines Headquarters. 

Before completing his plan, he needs to remain unpredictable.

"Please!" 

Vice Admiral Chaton gestured with an inviting motion.

Blackbeard's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed. The opponent was certainly not a swordsman, and judging by the opponent's size, he also is not a physical expert. There was only one possibility. Vice Admiral Chaton relied on his Devil Fruit ability. And as Admiral candidates, he definitely possessed the strength of an admiral.

His fists clenched, completely enveloped in darkness. He moved with a flash and appeared in front of Chaton!

Without any flashy techniques, he threw a punch! 

Vice Admiral Chaton saw this and clenched his fist, throwing a punch with the same posture!

"This is..."

"How can it be!" 

Burgess, Laffitte, and other Blackbeard crew widened their eyes.

Because Tokikake's fist also had darkness enveloping it! 

"Boom!!!"

The two fists collided, creating a resounding noise.

It was like the collision of two small black holes.

"Blackbeard's Devil Fruit powers are also strange."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku narrowed his eyes slightly. With just one blow, he witnessed the strange destructive power of the Logia: Dark=Dark Fruit.

"Indeed, but fortunately, it was Tokikake who fought him. After all, his Devil Fruit ability is really troublesome" 

Aokiji nodded.

"Darkness?"

Blackbeard looked at Chaton with curiosity. Chaton had just used his Devil Fruit ability.

"Hahaha, look at his expression, he was genuinely frightened by Vice Admiral Chaton!"

"Vice Admiral Chaton is the most formidable maverick in our Marines. It's really unfortunate for any devil fruit user to get entangled with him!"

The Marine officers watching the spectacle burst into laughter, pride evident on their faces.

"I am a copy human who possesses the Paramecia Copy Fruit, allowing me to replicate any move of my opponent!" 

Vice Admiral Chaton said with a faint smile on his face.

The Copying Fruit...

Blackbeard looked at Chaton with a hint of interest, as if he had discovered something marvelous.

Blackbeard's burning eyes made Chaton look stunned.

"Can you copy this?" 

Blackbeard wanted to test the capabilities of the Copy Fruit ability.

"Black Hole!" 

The darkness spread around him, with him at the center, directly enveloping Tokikake.

"My fruit ability has a limited copying range. This kind of range-type ability can't be copied. However, my ability has another advantage—it can be stored!"

Vice Admiral Chaton said without changing his expression. Then, his body transformed into a ray of light and disappeared within the range of the black hole.

"This time it's the ability of the Light-Light Fruit" 

Blackbeard said, looking at Chaton as if he were looking at a treasure.

"Although each move can only be stored once and used once, I can store more different abilities, like this one!"

After Chaton finished speaking, he crossed his hands in front of him. A frigid aura gradually rose around him, soon condensing into two ice spears! This time, it was the ability of the Ice-Ice Fruit!

Whoosh! 

The ice spears lunged at Blackbeard.

"Black Hole."

Blackbeard's eyes narrowed, and the ice spear was instantly swallowed by the black hole in his palm

"Can you copy this too?"

"Dark Water!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Blackbeard's mouth, and the attraction force of the dark water touched Chaton's body, directly absorbing his Devil Fruit power!

"Of course..."

Chaton was about to speak, but realized that his Devil Fruit ability could no longer be used.

His devil fruit power has failed!

Chaton, who has always relied on his Devil Fruit ability, is like a wolf without its teeth now.

His expression showed panic for the first time.

At this moment, Blackbeard's eyes narrowed, a fierce light flashing in them.

Vice Admiral Chaton's heart beats violently.

This was because Blackbeard's eyes were completely different from before!

"Not good!"

Although Sengoku didn't know what happened, he felt that Tokikake would be in danger!

However, everything was too late...

Because this was the opportunity Blackbeard had been waiting for!

His figure flashed, and he had already appeared behind Tokikake. At this moment, a black hole appeared on one hand, and he directly used it to swallow one of Tokikake's arms!

The Dark Fruit can devour everything it swallow, destroying all in its path!

Not to mention an arm without any defense!

"Ah!!!!"

Vice Admiral Chaton screamed, and large drops of sweat rolled down his forehead.

The cramping pain in his arms brought him to the edge of collapse!

"Stop!!"

Sengoku shouted.

"Hey, hey..."

Blackbeard retracted the black hole when he heard Sengoku's voice, while wearing a faint smile on his face.

Immediately afterward, Chaton's arm was exposed for everyone to see. His arm now naturally hung at his shoulder, and he can no longer have any feeling in this arm.

Because the bones and meridians of the entire arm were shattered!

Vice Admiral Chaton touched the arm with his other hand, and it felt like a toy in his grasp...

This scene made the surrounding people fall into strange silence…
