One Piece Volume 46 : Adventure on Ghost Island Chapter 441 The Duel of Banaro Island - Page 7 - Ener's Space Conquest, Vol. 11 "No Mercy From Space Pirate" - Page 8 - Ace: Darkness? Blackbeard: That's right, Commander Ace... You CAN'T kill me... In the history of Devil Fruit... This power is said to be the most wicked of all. - Page 9 - Blackbeard: The Logia-type "Yami Yami Fruit." (Darkness Fruit) I am a man of Darkness!! You'll get an eyeful of its power soon enough. Ace: ...Whatever you say. People: Damn... Those pirates haven't left yet...!! They're still up to something!! It's that black smoke again!! Stay away!! Just run for it!! Crew: Hurry and evacuate!! The captain's gonna go crazy again!! - Page 10 - Blackbeard: Heheh... (squeeze...) Zeaaah!!! - Page 11 - People: Aaah!! Somethin's crawlin' along the ground!! It's that stuff he shoots from his body...!!! Oh God!! It's like a huge HOLE in the ground! Creepy stuff. Looks like you'll get sucked in. Don't touch it! Just keep moving!! Head through the forest, toward the shore!! Blackbeard: Darkness is "gravity"!!! The power to draw everything into itself!!! The power to keep a single beam of light from escaping!! INFINITE GRAVITY. Ace: And yet... It's not reaching me myself. Blackbeard: I ain't gonna go after you YET...!! First you just sit back and watch the town...!! - Pages 12 & 13 - Blackbeard: "Black Hole"!!! Buildings: Ggggr! (sink...) (sink sink sink...!!) People: Aaah!! The entire town is sinking into the ground as one!!! HOW?! What's happening?!! Blackbeard: The gravity of darkness condenses and squashes all with its infinite power... Crushing it to a pulp...!!! Buildings: (zzzzd...) (zzzdd...) People: ...am I dreaming...?! Blackbeard: And now, allow me to show you that very same town...!! (zzdzzd...)(squeeze) Or at least, what's LEFT of it... - Pages 14 & 15 - Blackbeard: "Liberation"!!! People: It's been turned... to a giant woodpile... Blackbeard: Zehahahaha! You see now, Ace?!! THIS is the power I have gained!!! - Page 16 - Ace: "Hotarubi" (Firefly Light) (popopopo...) "Hidaruma"!!! (Conflagration) Blackbeard: Gwaaaah!!! Nyeoowww!!! Yeowwowowoww!!! Ace: I can see the strength of darkness' destruction. ...but I find this strange...!! Any Logia user should be able to shrug off an attack such as this. - Page 17 - Blackbeard: Raahhhh!!! Aaagh!!! (hisss!!!) Hahh... Hahh... I just told you...!! Darkness sucks in everything. Bullets, blades, blows, blazes and lightning blasts!!! Unlike the rest of you, I can't just shrug off attacks! My body sucks in and absorbs all pains greater than normal! But in exchange for that heightened risk, I also gained the power to suck in one MORE thing!!! "Kurouzu"!!! (Dark Whirlpool) Technically, the gravity of darkness draws out the power-user's "true" form... Ace: {Gravity?!!} - Page 18 - Blackbeard: And then my body can... Well? ...have you discovered the rest of that sentence already, Ace? Ace: It CAN'T be...!! - Page 19 - Ace: Gahff!! Blackbeard: Zehahahahahaha!! Ace: (scrape...) Blackbeard: How long has it been since someone really HIT you, huh...?! You understood the instant I grabbed you, didn't ya?!! ...one OTHER thing my darkness can absorb... Ace: (clunk...) Blackbeard: Is Devil Fruit Powers!!! When contacting my body, you become unable to use your powers for that time!! - Page 20 - Blackbeard: I have gained an unstoppable ability... to attack and damage all the overconfident Power Users in the WORLD!! Logia... Zoan... Paramecia!!! Ace: ...but not if they don't get caught. Blackbeard: Didn't I just prove to you how impossible it is to avoid the gravity of darkness?!! "Kurouzu"!!! Ace: "Shinka Shiranui"!!! (Sacred Flame Shiranui) (byubyu!!) - Page 21 - Blackbeard: (boomboom!!) Ace: (crack...!!) Blackbeard: Ggh...!!! (bwoom!!) Gwaaahh!!! Yeeoww!! Shit!! A spear of flame!! Ace: Agh... cough! Practically cracked my neck!! Hahh. ...one hell of a painful power! Hahh... (pff...) - Page 22 - Ace: "Jujika" (Cross Flame) Van Auger: I had always thought the Power Users were a brittle lot, over-relying on their Powers and helpless without them. But I see that when it comes to Whitebeard's own battle commander... The man excels in basic battle ability as well...!!! Today brings us yet another branch... On the path of fate... - Page 23 - People: Another banana rock... falling...!! What's going on...? That ain't the work of no humans! ...they're not just destroying the town... They're going to ruin the whole island... Blackbeard: Hahh... Look... Everything is powerless before the dark!! Ace: Zehh... Zehh... Blackbeard: Even someone as strong as you! Hahh... ...tell you what, I'd hate to lose ya...!! C'mon, Ace...!! Join me!!! Zehh. Ace: (drip...) Hahh. - Page 24 - Ace: ...there's no use being born a man if you cave in before absolute might. And if there's one thing I never do, it's leave regret behind!!! Got that, you moron?! Blackbeard: ...life is everything in this world, Ace... Hahh. ...such a shame, such a waste. You'll die in the darkness!!! Ace: "Daienkai"!! (Flame Commandment) "Entei"!!! (Flame Emperor) - Page 25 - Blackbeard: Zehahaha!! The sun or the darkness?! Only one will win!!!
