Chapter 27: Teach Kizaru A Lesson

Looking at the panicked Borsalino in front of him, Carl slowly said,

"This is the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit. It is darkness that swallows everything, including Devil Fruit abilities. As long as an ability user is caught by me, they will lose their abilities."

"Nani!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Borsalino, but everyone else exclaimed in shock. They could not imagine that such a Devil Fruit could exist in this world.

Even Zephyr encountered this situation for the first time. He had wanted Borsalino to teach Carl a lesson, but the result was the other way around.

He had mentioned just a few days ago that Borsalino would suffer a loss in ability, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

After all, the Glint-Glint Fruit is incredibly versatile. It not only possesses amazing destructive power but also offers high mobility. Even if it encounters an enemy that can't be defeated, it can still allow the user to escape.

Originally, he thought that darkness and light should be opposites, but what happened now completely subverted his understanding.

The speed of light seems so powerless in the face of the gravity of darkness. Coupled with the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to suppress Devil Fruit powers, the Dark-Dark Fruit is simply overpowering the Glint-Glint Fruit!

Borsalino also realized this. He quickly calmed down and immediately covered his arms with Haki, preparing to compete with Carl.

His thinking was very clear. He had suffered a major loss in terms of Devil Fruit abilities, but he didn't believe he would lose to Carl in physical combat.

Did they really think he was just lounging around in the Marine Academy every day?

Since one of his shoulders was gripped by Carl, he concentrated all his strength in the other arm and punched Carl in the abdomen.

In this position, Carl couldn't dodge at all. If he used Kamui, he would lose control of Borsalino. It seemed that he could only choose to receive Borsalino's punch head-on.

Under everyone's gaze, Carl's hand on Borsalino's shoulder suddenly emitted a burst of cyan lightning. Borsalino's fist was just halfway to its target when his whole body convulsed from the electricity.

"Thump!"

Borsalino fell to his knees, a wisp of white smoke coming out of his mouth.

This time, not only was Borsalino stunned, but Zephyr and all the students were also shocked, as if they too had been electrocuted.

Borsalino was only dazed for a moment before quickly regaining consciousness. Carl reached out, pulled him up, patted the dust off his clothes, and asked with concern,

"Borsalino, are you okay?"

Borsalino tilted his head weakly and managed to say,

"Carl, does the Dark-Dark Fruit also have the ability to discharge electricity?"

Carl explained casually,

"Of course not. The ability to discharge electricity comes from the Mink Tribe and is considered a racial talent."

Borsalino suddenly understood.

"Ah, so you're from the Mink Tribe!"

As he said that, he looked at Carl with a puzzled expression and asked,

"But your skin looks quite smooth. Where did the fur grow? Could it be..."

Borsalino's expression suddenly became very suggestive, and he glanced at Carl's pants. Carl's face darkened, and he said angrily,

"Where do you see any fur? My parents are both human!"

"Ah? Then how could you..."

Carl fell silent and pulled up his clothes, revealing the scars crisscrossing his chest.

Borsalino's face froze, and his expression gradually became serious. He didn't continue to ask but silently patted Carl on the shoulder.

Carl acted as if nothing had happened. He waved to Kuma. Kuma immediately used his ability and appeared next to Carl. This move once again amazed everyone.

There was no need to say much about the tacit understanding between Kuma and Carl. Carl just glanced at Borsalino, and Kuma immediately understood what Carl meant.

Under Borsalino's confused gaze, Kuma raised his hand and pressed it on Borsalino's chest. Then, a red translucent paw-shaped bubble emerged from Borsalino's back.

Something that shocked everyone happened again. Borsalino, who had been sluggish just moments ago, suddenly became lively and energetic, as if he hadn't been electrocuted at all.

Borsalino felt relaxed all over. He did a few stretching exercises on the spot and said with surprise,

"It feels so relaxing! What's going on?"

Kuma patiently explained his abilities. After hearing this, two cross-shaped golden lights appeared in Borsalino's eyes, and the way he looked at Kuma changed.

The ability to pop out pain and fatigue... anyone who knows anything about combat understands how ridiculously valuable this ability is!

It can be said that once Kuma showed the ability of the Paw-Paw Fruit, he became a highly prized asset in the Marines!

Zephyr on the sidelines clenched his fists. God knows how excited he was at this moment. He even wanted to hug Sengoku the Buddha and kiss him hard!

If Kuma had previously been considered a "gift" from Carl, now that Kuma's ability is revealed, his value has become entirely independent.

Kuma, a being who not only has immense offensive power but also a full healing capability. Zephyr had completely disregarded Kuma's former status as a slave. He believed that Sengoku would not dwell on this after learning about it.

A talent like this should belong to the Marines! To hell with all the Celestial Dragons!

So far, the performance of Carl and his companions had completely exceeded Zephyr's expectations, especially Carl and Kuma, the two biggest surprises! He couldn't wait to tell Sengoku about today's events.

Back to Carl, Borsalino was twisting his waist and relaxing in an exaggerated manner. The red paw-shaped bubble behind him suddenly trembled, and then slowly approached Borsalino.

Borsalino immediately noticed something was wrong, and his body instantly turned into photons, flashing aside. But the paw bubble continued to float toward him unhurriedly, and its speed gradually increased.

Carl shouted to Borsalino, who had already moved to the edge of the field,

"Borsalino, if no one can bear the impact of Kuma's pop-up, it will eventually come back to you!"

Borsalino shouted while dodging,

"Then what should I do now? Do I have to keep flashing around like this?"

Carl stretched out his hand, and a few streams of darkness gathered in his palm, finally transforming into a black Bible.

A gust of breeze blew by, and the Bible opened with a splash. An expanding dark tornado emerged from it, throwing out a man who looked half-dead—an unlucky pirate Carl had captured in Sorbet Country.

This man was the last one imprisoned in Carl's Bible. He was somewhat of a pirate, so his physique was fairly strong. The other unfortunates had long since starved to death inside and been decomposed by the darkness.

Items that have been around Logia users for a long time can be transformed by elements. For example, you can refer to the rose Akainu wears on his chest later.

Carl's Bible had been successfully transformed by him and used as a storage space.

Because it is a fixed dark space, the violent dark power can be better controlled, and people or objects placed inside can be stored for a long time.
