One year has passed in the blink of an eye.

  It was now the year 1498 of the Sea in dar.

  The west coast of Water Piano Isnd.

  Smoker took a piece of bread, tossed it twi his hand, and then threw it far away.

  "Dark acupoint!"

  A darkness appeared just in time to capture the bread.

  The bread slowly sank, as if it had bee stu a s.

  Smoker withdrew from the darkness, closed his eyes, a something silent.

  Then he opened his eyes.

  "release!"

  The bread slowly emerged from the darkness, its appearanged from before.

  Smoker saw this and smiled on his face.

  [Very good, now I trol gravity as I wish! 】

  Not only it crush steel with its strong gravity, but it also make bread sink into the darkness unscathed!

  After Bckbeard got the Dark Fruit, he became addicted to those powerful moves.

  Although it appears to be beatable and trolble, the fruit's development is actually quite rough.

  There has been no development at all.

  Infinite gravity is inally the basic ability of the Dark Fruit.

  Dogs will utilise this teique if they e it!

  This year, Smoker stopped exerg and began to develop the Dark Fruit without any distras.

  After a year of development, it is finally possible to freely manipute darkness and gravity.

  Just like this secret acture trick,

  Bckbeard immediately engulfed a town upon its release.

  Everything, useful or not, was crushed to pieces.

  Oher hand, smokers are much more delicate.

  Not only the range and shape of the dark acupoints be freely trolled, but also the iy of gravity be trolled.

  Because of this, Smoker ow treat the darkness as a separate spad even store items like a s fruit.

  From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Dark Fruit is the superior fruit of the S-S Fruit.

  Smoker stuffed the bread into his mouth, thinking as he ate.

  [pared to infinite gravity, just the right gravity is more practical.]

  This phase of fruit development is nearly plete. Although there are some other ideas, they ot be realised at the current level, so we only wait to develop them slowly iure.

  [But having said that, the Dark Fruit is really draining of energy, and I will be hungry after a while.]

  After ing the bread, Smoker approached a hill-like boulder aended his hand, releasing a darkhat enveloped the boulder like a bck cloth.

  Soon, the boulder disappeared, leaving only a deep pit.

  Smoker jumped into the pit and took out a box.

  When you open it, you will see that it is the smoked fruit inside.

  While holding the fruit he was supposed to eat, Smoker couldn't help but murmur to himself.

  "Although I wo you, I will find a suitable master for you; don't worry!"

  After saying that, the hand turned dark, and the smoke fruit slowly sank into it.

  Before, I was uo do anything, so I could only bury the smoke fruit here.

  Now that the strength has been achieved, it is safer to carry it with you!

  ...

  Smoker returns to town and to the docks.

  At this time, a mert ship arked at the dock, with "Barley" spray-painted on the hull, and a fat businessman on board was waiting anxiously.

  Suddenly, he saw Smoker; his eyes lit up, and he waved quickly.

  "Smogkun, this way, e here quickly; we are about to set sail!"

  "ing!"

  Smoker took a few steps, jumped, and nded lightly on the boat.

  "Sorry, Uncle Boris, I'm te. Didn't I dey your departure?"

  Like his inal owner, Smoker is very kind to civilians.

  Boris touched his fat belly and ughed, and his fat body trembled with the ughter.

  "It's okay, it's okay; I'm very happy to be able to take you te Town!"

  "There have been a lot of pirates nearby retly. It's really reassuring to have Smoker-Kun on the ship!!"

  Smoker also smiled and nodded.

  "Anyway, thank you for sendie Town; otherwise, I would really have a headache."

  A few days ago, the Wover released a bombshell message.

  Pirate King Roger has been "arrested" and will be executed in Roger Town in a few days!

  Naturally, Smoker didn't want to miss such a grand occasion.

  I heard that the Damai was going te Town, so I came to catch a ride.

  Boris naturally wants it.

  Rogge Town is the outpost of the East Sea entering the Great Sea Route.

  The surrounding waters are unstable despite the presence of the stro navy in the East Sea.

  Smoker exercises every day. Although he never makes it public, the residents of Water Piano Isnd know that he is very strong.

  With such a free bodyguard, Boris feels much more at ease!

  "set sail!!"

  Following a whistle, the Damai slowly sailed out of the dock.

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and we were getting closer and closer te Town.

  On this particur day, the smoker was enjoying a su session on the deck when he suddenly heard a disturbance.

  "Another pirate ship! What's the first one?!"

  "We have entered eight ships this m."

  As the news of the pirate king's execution spread, all the forces in the sea were gathering towards Rogge Town.

  In just a few days, the Damai entered dozens of waves of pirate ships.

  At first, the crew was extremely nervous, fearing that the pirates would kill people and steal goods.

  Later, I found that these pirates didn't bother to talk to them at all, so they became bolder and even ented on the pirate ship.

  "Eh? This pirate ship looks so naughty!!"

  "Hiss—really, with this shape and colour, I don't know what kind of guy he is!"

  "Saucy?!"

  Smoker suddenly became ied.

  irate ship deserves this kind of evaluation? !

  He stood up and took a look and was immediately trembling with excitement.

  The pirate ship in the distance is all pink, with a fmingo wearing sungsses on the bow.

  Indeed, it exhibits both arrogand coquettishness.

  "Dofmingo's family?! Ihis guy resent at the execution of the Pirate King.

  Iure, I will kneel down three times in a row, and two of them are from this pirate group.

  So Smoker didn't like them at all.

  However, I am no lohe same person I once was, and I'm uain about my ces with Brother Dofmingo.

  Smoker felt a little on fire.

  But the moment, he saw the vast sea around him and immediately gave up this idea.

  no way,

  Brother Dofmingo fly, but I ’t!

  In a hurry, Brother Dofmingo sank the boat directly, so he could only feed the fish.

  Besides, even if you are not afraid of death, there is still a boatload of people behind you...

  Thinking of this, Smoker turned around and found Boris.

  "Uncle Boris, tell the captain to avoid the pirate ship ahead."

  Boris couldn't help being stunned.

  "What's wrong? The target of these pirates is Rogge Town. There is no reason to attack us!"

  Smhed secretly.

  It has only been a few days, but yince has deteriorated to this point.

  Have you ever seen a beast that promises not to bite? !

  However, he still advised patiently.

  "They are different from the pirates we entered before, so be careful!"

  On the opposite boat were not only the crazy Brother Ming but also those weird subordinates.

  Just because Brother Ming fell while walking, the whole town was burnt down.

  Aren't these just a bunch of wild, irate dogs?

  At this time, Brother Dofmingo should have uhe underground world of the North Sea, and it stands to reason that he would look down on such small mert ships.

  But who knows if those idiotic subordinates will rush out and shout that your ship is too close, making our king uo urinate...

  Then there was a fight.

  So, since you ’t afford to offend him, you’d better stay away!

  Although Boris didn't know the reason, seeing Smoker's firm attitude, he followed suit.

  As for the captain, the sponsor's father had already spoken, so naturally they had no objes either.

  So he turhe helm a.

  At this time, the Fmingo is on board.

  Dofmingo was reading a neer, ao him was a half-empty bottle of red wine.

  Pika suddenly opehe door and came in.

  "Dover, the mert ship suddenly turned..."

  "Um?!"

  Dofmingo was a little surprised, got up, and came to the window, looking at the barley that was getting further away.

  A few days ago, they entered a storm and were deyed for some time, so they were a little short on drinks.

  At this time, I happeo see the Damai and wao rob it.

  Uedly, as soon as he gave the order, the other party ran away like a prophet.

  Dofmingo frowned slightly but quickly rexed.

  "That's all. There's no point in deying the trip for this little thing; just stick to the inal route."

  "Yes, Dover!"

  ...

  Because of the detour.

  The Damai took more than a long time to arrive at Rogge Town.

  At this time, the do Rogge Town was already overcrowded.

  The Damai lingered for a long time and finally found a pce to berth.

  After the ship docked, Boris found Smoker.

  "Smog-kun, I've been so busy shipping goods these days that I 't care about you anymore."

  "We will return from here in three days, so don't be te!"

  Smoker nodded.

  "Okay, Uncle Boris! I will be ba time! Let's go first!!"

  After saying that, he couldn't wait to jump off the boat, disappearing in an instant.

  Boris looked at his bad smacked his lips enviously.

  "Tsk tsk, it's great to be young!!"
