As Carl recounted his experience, there was no trace of fluctuation in his expression.
Ginny and the others were dumbfounded. They could not imagine that there could be such a father in this world. Even the words "better than a beast" could be considered a compliment to him.
Carl lowered his eyes, with a wisp of black smoke emitting from the corners of his eyes. It was obvious that his mood at this moment was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
"I will definitely go back to Mary Geoise and kill him with my own hands!"
Ginny's heart tightened, she held Carl's hand subconsciously and asked eagerly,
"Brother Carl, are you going to abandon us?"
Ivankov blinked his eyes crazily, expressing his inner eagerness in this way. Kuma also raised his head and looked at Carl nervously.
Carl was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled,
"How could it be? I'm so weak now, and it's not the time to take back Mary Geoise!"
Hearing this, Ginny and the others breathed a sigh of relief. As companions who had experienced Valley of Gods' escape together, their feelings for each other were very deep.
Moreover, Carl's series of performances in the Valley of Gods had already made him the backbone of the group. This feeling was even stronger for Ginny, the only girl among them.
So after confirming that Carl had no intention of taking back Mary Geoise for the time being, Ginny could be said to be the happiest one.
She couldn't help hugging Carl, rubbing Carl's face hard, and shouted,
"That's great, Brother Carl! We will always be together! Never separate!"
Ivankov squeezed his bandaged hand with difficulty, and just when he was about to speak, Kuma took the lead and said,
"Brother Carl, you gave me this strength. I will definitely work hard and never hold anyone back!"
A bright smile broke out on Carl's face, but against the darkness surrounding the corners of his eyes, his smile had a hint of evil charm.
"Kuma, don't you care that I'm a Celestial Dragon?"
Kuma shook his head and said softly,
"No! Carl is still Carl! He is my big brother forever!"
Ginny turned her head and asked with a puzzled look on her face,
"Kuma, then why were you lowering your head just now? You looked very worried!"
"Yes, I'm sorry. Actually, I knew when Garling mentioned Figarland. I heard about this family when I was a slave...but I didn't want to ruin our relationship because of this. I thought as long as I pretended not to know, we could continue to live together. Unexpectedly, Brother Carl brought it up himself..."
As he said this, Kuma scratched his head, a slightly honest action that seemed so simple and sincere to Carl.
Gently pushing Ginny away from his arms, Carl looked around at the three of them. A group of darkness loomed behind him.
"Don't just blame me. You have all been persecuted by the Celestial Dragons. I will avenge you all!"
Ginny is a girl after all. To her, it is good that everyone can live well, so after hearing Carl's words, she couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
"But Brother Carl, are the Celestial Dragons really something we can resist?"
Carl smiled slightly, raised his right hand that turned into darkness, and whispered,
"Of course, otherwise wouldn't I have let down this Dark Fruit?"
As soon as he finished speaking, endless darkness surged out of Carl, enveloping the entire church like a black curtain, leaving no trace of light.
Ginny was frightened by this scene and clutched Carl's clothes tightly with both hands.
Fortunately, the darkness did not last long. Soon, the darkness faded, and a clean and tidy hall appeared in the sight of Ginny and the others.
"This, this is?"
Looking at the spotless environment around her, Ginny covered her mouth in surprise, with a look of amazement on her face.
Kuma, who is also an ability user, was even more surprised. He was surprised that Carl could control Devil Fruit's abilities so well!
He had already seen the power of the Dark Fruit. That terrifying dark maw almost swallowed the three of them together. Kuma still couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he thought about it.
He could feel the ultimate destructive power contained in that darkness, the power that could turn everything into powder!
But Carl had just released such a large-scale dark power, but he was able to avoid the furnishings in the hall and the others. He just absorbed the dust and garbage. This meticulous control made Kuma feel ashamed.
If it were him, he would probably make a huge ball of flesh and wrap it around the church, and then clean it.
But not to mention that with his current ability, it is difficult enough to create a meatball that can wrap around the church, let alone control the ability to bounce away the garbage in the church.
If he really used it, he might blow the entire church away, which makes Kuma respect Carl even more.
The reason why Carl's control of the Dark-Dark Fruit has improved so much is because he has now completely integrated with his original body, and his soul strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Because of this, he, who was already extremely talented, naturally awakened Observation Haki!
Ginny didn't think about it as much as Kuma. This magical sight made her face turn red with excitement and she clapped her hands vigorously.
"Gudu..."
Ivankov swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with envy in his eyes.
Among the boys present, he was the only one who did not get a Devil Fruit, so after seeing the abilities of Carl and Kuma, he also hoped that he could also get a Devil Fruit of his own.
But he didn't feel jealous at all. In his opinion, Carl and Kuma were obviously more suitable for the two Devil Fruits than him.
Ivankov's performance was noticed by Carl. He was good at observing words and emotions and could easily see what Ivankov was thinking at the moment. He immediately smiled and said,
"Ivankov, don't worry, the Devil Fruit that suits you hasn't appeared yet. Believe me, that Devil Fruit is destined to be yours."
Ivankov immediately danced with excitement. He was very convinced of Carl's words and asked immediately after hearing the words,
"What's the name of that fruit?"
Carl shook his finger and said mysteriously,
"I won't tell you this yet, you just need to know that it can perfectly satisfy your little hobby!"
These words made Ivankov even more itchy, and he kept pestering Carl with questions, but no matter how much he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, Carl would not say a word, which made him go crazy for a while.
Finally, Carl couldn't stand being tortured by Ivankov anymore. A plume of black smoke came out from his finger and he lightly stroked Ivankov's big mouth.
A darkness covered Ivankov's mouth, and the right suction force made him pout hard.
"Uh huh! (I haven't eaten yet!)"
