The next day, Luffy seemed to have changed.

He stood up silently, jumped onto the Thousand Sunny silently, and left Rob Village with Zoro and Sanji.

Sanji and Zoro didn't know that a person they didn't know had talked to Luffy all night...

Fengchao Island.

Blackbeard locked himself in the room these days and didn't see anyone. Aokiji came to see him several times but was rejected.

Everyone noticed that something was wrong with Blackbeard, but Blackbeard was unwilling to communicate with everyone.

Alice was very worried about her brother's situation, and asked in Blackbeard's mind, "Brother, are you okay?"

"If you really feel something is wrong, why don't we go to the West Sea to find Brother Lynch."

Blackbeard covered his head with a quilt and curled up in the corner of the room, just like when he was in the research institute when he was young.

"It's useless, it's useless. It's useless to find Lynch. He didn't find anything wrong when I went to find him last time."

"But I'm sure there must be something wrong! Someone must want to attack me. That person is very dangerous!"

This is the first time in a few days that Blackbeard is willing to communicate with his sister in his mind. Alice is ecstatic.

If her brother ignores her again, she will really worry about her brother.

"Alice, my Dark Dark Fruit is about to awaken."

"I can feel that it is on the verge of awakening."

Blackbeard, who has been silent for a few days, seems to have made up his mind. He threw the quilt aside and paced back and forth in the room, talking to himself but actually to Alice.

"It's over!"

The few younger brothers guarding outside the house heard Blackbeard talking to himself in the house and had the urge to run away.

Could it be that their captain is mentally ill and talking to himself?

Don't rush out and slap me to death.

"Can't the natural devil fruit awaken? Can't you not awaken?"

After the natural devil fruit awakens, the body will forever turn into the corresponding element. The host dies. Alice thought she finally found out the reason why Blackbeard has been acting strange these days.

"Of course I can let the Dark Dark Fruit stay one step before it fully awakens." Blackbeard smiled bitterly and said, "But it won't agree."

"I always have a hunch that it will use the power of the Dark Dark Fruit to attack me."

Blackbeard believes in his intuition, which is the biggest reliance for him to survive since he was a child.

If it weren't for his sixth sense that saved him many times in crisis, he would have died long ago.

And as his observation color continued to increase, the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Lin Qi said that he was hallucinating, and he himself suspected that it was an illusion.

But Poison Q said after the examination that his mental state was fine!

The fear of being stared at by a poisonous snake spread like ink day by day in Blackbeard's heart.

No matter where he goes, this feeling will not dissipate.

"It?" Alice wondered, but Blackbeard did not continue to explain.

Instead, he said to himself: "Alice, do you think that with the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, you can take out the Dark-Dark Fruit in my body?"

Using the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to take out the Dark-Dark Fruit from the body is equivalent to shooting yourself with a gun.

Blackbeard didn't know if he could succeed, so he decided to give it a try.

"Brother, you...!"

Alice in his mind was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Only she knew how important the Dark-Dark Fruit was to Brother.

That was something Blackbeard had been thinking about day and night for decades.

Now he said he would give up.

Is this what Brother has been worried about these days?

Is that what Brother called "it" so scary to Brother?

He hadn't met it yet, but he just suspected it, and he wanted Brother to take out the Dark-Dark Fruit that he regarded as more precious than life.

"Alice, I'm going to try to take the Dark-Dark Fruit out of my body." Blackbeard gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, pointed his palm at his heart, and warned: "If I faint, tell me what happened when I fainted when I wake up."

Blackbeard is cruel to others, and even crueler to himself.

The reason why Blackbeard can become a tyrant is that, in addition to being cruel, he will never regret what he has decided to do, and will do it without hesitation.

Buzz~

A black halo lit up in Blackbeard's hand, slowly approaching the position of his heart where the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit resides.

Alice didn't dare to breathe, and watched this scene quietly.

Fear, hesitation, loss, as if something was lost from the body.

"So this is how people who lose devil fruits feel."

This feeling as if he had amputated himself made Blackbeard sweat on his forehead, and his heart seemed to stop beating.

Under his continuous output, a touch of DarkThe power of the fruit was finally sucked out of his heart.

Blackbeard wiped the sweat that flowed into his eyes and was about to make another effort to completely remove the Dark-Dark Fruit in his heart.

Suddenly, a burst of the opposite Dark-Dark Fruit power burst out from his hand, interrupting Blackbeard's action, and the Dark-Dark Fruit power that had finally left his heart also drilled back in.

"Who is it! Since you dare to do it, why don't you dare to come out!"

Blackbeard's eyes were wide open. Now that he had caught the evidence, he could finally be sure that he was not a psychopath.

There was an unknown ghost thing that could really control his Dark-Dark Fruit.

The air in the room seemed to solidify.

Two or three seconds later, a low and hoarse laugh sounded from Blackbeard's heart, and the sound appeared directly in Blackbeard's mind.

"Haha, you found it, you are really a vigilant junior."

"Who are you? How did you appear in my body!" Blackbeard asked anxiously.

"It doesn't matter who I am. As for how I appeared in your body, I think you, as cunning as a fox, have already guessed it."

The voice in my mind was like the most kind and amiable elder. Suddenly, the style changed and he laughed coldly:

"What's important is that you don't even know that your memory has been tampered with."

"I have to say that the boy named Lin Qi is a genius."

"What? My memory has been tampered with!"

Blackbeard was shocked at first. He didn't trust anyone except his sister and soon doubted the man's words, but he didn't want to lie about the man's solemn tone.

Blackbeard found Alice in his mind, "Sister, is what that ghost thing said true?"

Alice was silent.

Sometimes, silence represents everything.

"I'm sorry, brother, Lin Qi said that if I dare to tell you this news, he will kill you."

"Enough, Alice, you don't have to say it."

Blackbeard closed his eyes in pain. He didn't expect that one day his most trusted sister would deceive him.

What made him sad was that so many of the beautiful memories he had with Lin Qi were fake.

When Lin Qi was a child, he gave him meat because he was reluctant to eat it, when Lin Qi stood in front of a tiger to protect his younger self, when Lin Qi peed and he drank it without knowing better...

Everything was fake.
