One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

When the light faded, what appeared was Shanks transformed into an ice sculpture.

Lafayette and the others were overjoyed when they saw this. Teach showed an evil smile, thinking that the things made by that stinky cat were really useful.

Naturally, he would not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he hit Shanks with an earthquake punch.

The space where Shanks was located shattered like a mirror, followed by a crackling sound, and ice chips flew all over the sky.

However, there was no joy on the faces of Teach and the others, because what turned into ice chips was just a layer of ice on the surface of Shanks' body.

Their smiles seemed to have shifted to Shanks's face. With his domineering aura, how could he be frozen so easily? He was just curious and wanted to have some fun.

Seeing that Shanks was fine, Teach thought to himself that something was wrong. He thought the freezing gun was useful just now, but now he was cursing it in his heart as a three-no product.

Shanks noticed Teach's two rows of leaky teeth and remembered the scene when Buggy kicked Teach.

He smiled, leaped into the air, grabbed the barrel of the freezing gun, and pulled it out.

Then Shanks didn't give Teach a chance to retreat and punched him hard in the face.

Teach let out a scream, and several large teeth stained with blood spurted out of his mouth.

Shanks took a look at the freezing gun in his hand and threw it into the sea. He then rained down punches on Teach, making him spit blood. The scene looked extremely tragic.

However, Lafayette and the others had no way to deal with this. The gap in strength between them and Shanks was like an insurmountable chasm.

Fortunately, Teach's ability to withstand blows is strong enough. He did not lose consciousness after being hit by so many punches from Shanks, and was even able to mobilize the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to fight back.

At this time, Teach was completely in a life-threatening state, and started a fierce hand-to-hand fight with Shanks in mid-air. However, before he could last a few rounds, he was knocked to the deck by Shanks' punch, almost destroying the entire ship.

When Teach appeared again, he had already transformed his body using the Swallow-Swallow Fruit and entered a "bodybuilding form".

But compared to Shanks' dragon form, his muscular form looks like a skinny dog.

However, in this form, Teach's physical fitness can be said to have been comprehensively improved. When he met Shanks again, he was no longer as exhausted as before, but that was all.

Teach's current strength is considered weak among the emperor level, and there is still a big gap between him and Shanks.

So he no longer adopted the strategy of fighting Shanks to the end, but instead fought and retreated, and after keeping some distance, he used the characteristics of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to create a tsunami.

Soon, the pirate ship, which was already riddled with holes, could no longer withstand the impact of the tsunami. It disintegrated after being hit by a huge wave, and turned into several large pieces of wreckage floating on the sea.

Teach no longer had time to care about the boat. If the boat was lost, he could build another one. If that didn't work, he could just rob another one. If people were lost, then everything would be gone.

But up to now, Shanks is fighting more and more vigorously, while Teach is becoming more and more exhausted, and the shock waves in his hands seem to appear and disappear from time to time.

The destructive power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is indeed strong, but correspondingly, the conditions for its use are very harsh, and the consumption of physical strength is also extremely terrifying.

Using the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit will also cause serious internal injuries to the user's body, which is inevitable even for a body like Whitebeard. This can be seen from Whitebeard's later years when he was plagued by injuries.

Compared with other veteran strongmen such as Garp, Sengoku and Rayleigh, the condition of old Whitebeard is really very bad, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit definitely has a big influence on it.

Therefore, this fruit is not suitable for a protracted battle. If it weren't for Teach's special body, he would have fallen to the ground by now.

This is not the case with Shanks' Shenlong Fruit. The Animal Type is known for its endurance, and the Shenlong Fruit is the best among them. After fighting for a long time, he still looks energetic.

As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, Teach's defeat became very obvious.

Fan Oka, who suffered a serious shoulder injury, sat cross-legged on a piece of ship wreckage. Judging from his expression, his emotions were surprisingly stable.

He looked ahead and whispered,

"The captain can't hold on any longer."

Lafayette flapped his arms, which had turned into wings, in mid-air with a gloomy expression.

Having the ability to fly, he wanted to escape, but there was a ship called the Redvers behind him.

He was not naive enough to think that Beckman and others above would let him get away like that. He guessed that the sniper Jesus was aiming at him with a gun at this moment.

Poison Q's horse was carrying the unconscious Badgers. Chiffon stood beside him with tears in his eyes, stroking his belly and muttering,

"Dad, he'll be fine..."

However, just as she finished her words, Tikki's screams were heard from the front.

Chifeng looked hurriedly and saw that Teach was being sent high into the sky by a dense array of green wind blades. His body was covered with wounds cut by the wind blades, and a large amount of blood was pouring out.

Shanks flashed to Teach's side, glanced at Chiffon and others floating on the sea in the distance, kicked Teach out in the air, and finally landed accurately in front of Chiffon and others.

Teach was lying on the deck in a spread-eagle position, groaning in pain. Chiffon knelt in front of him, shedding tears of heartache.

Swish!

Shanks flashed over, and Lafayette and the others were so frightened that they dared not move. Instead, the woman Chiffon rushed to Teach, protecting Teach behind her, and cried,

"Please don't hurt my husband!"

However, before Shanks could make any move, Teach suddenly opened his mouth with a "wow" sound and spat out Whitebeard.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned. Shanks frowned and looked at Whitebeard who was lying in a pool of saliva. Whitebeard closed his eyes tightly, and his chest rose and fell slightly. There was no trace of the domineering appearance of the former Four Emperors.

After spitting out Whitebeard, Teach's face turned pale. He looked at Whitebeard lying beside him, laughed bitterly, and said self-deprecatingly,

"Hahahaha... Dad, we meet again so soon..."

Whitebeard was still motionless. His body had completely collapsed before he was swallowed. He could only barely maintain the most basic vital signs by relying on the special ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. If he left Teach, his life would be in danger at any time.

After observing for a while, Shanks waved towards the Redvers, and Beckman and others on the ship immediately drove the boat over.

Teach and his gang were taken onto the ship.

After returning to the ship, Shanks immediately arranged for the ship's doctor Hongo to take care of Whitebeard, and then hurriedly took out a Den Den Mushi with a black shell from his arms.
