Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

There were five deadman in the chat group, and four of them had ganged up to bully Golden Lion Shiki.

It was simply inhumane.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Hmph! You all act so high and mighty, but in the end, the real winner is Blackbeard Teach. Like it or not, he's the one who came out on top!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Let's review:"

Golden Lion Shiki:

➤ "He spent decades in obscurity on Whitebeard's ship—his patience is astounding!"

➤ "The moment he found the Devil Fruit he wanted, he didn't hesitate to kill a lifelong friend and betray Whitebeard. His decisiveness is terrifying!"

➤ "He dared to plot against the World Government and infiltrate Impel Down, breaking out with an army of criminals—his ambition is unmatched!"

➤ "And once he got what he wanted, he abandoned his position as a Warlord without hesitation, making his next move immediately!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "With those qualities, how could he not succeed?"

The Golden Lion sneered inwardly.

You people want to mock me?

Fine! Then I'll provoke you right back!

Pirate King Roger: "Hah! What nonsense! If Teach had your luck, he would've been finished before he even started!"

Roger's words were like a cannonball to Shiki's pride.

Luck—that was the eternal wound in the Golden Lion's heart.

Whitebeard: "Exactly! Shiki, don't fool yourself into thinking you and Teach are the same kind of person just because you both have ambition. You two are completely different!"

Whitebeard: "If Teach had been like you, he would've never found the Dark-Dark Fruit in the first place!"

Whitebeard casually twisted the knife deeper.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Tch…"

Whitebeard: "And speaking of Teach…"

Whitebeard's expression darkened.

Whitebeard: "Did you see it, Shiki? Teach actually stole my Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Is that what you call the spoils of a victor?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Shut up! That damn thief!"

Whitebeard clenched his fists.

The thought of his own power—the destructive force that once defined him—being stolen by the very man who betrayed his family made him sick.

Worst of all…

Teach would now use that power against his sons.

That fact infuriated him the most.

Fisher Tiger: "I still don't understand. The newspaper says Blackbeard covered Whitebeard's body with a black cloth, crawled inside, and somehow extracted the Devil Fruit power…"

Fisher Tiger: "What kind of sorcery is that?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Yeah, what the hell? Is that black cloth some kind of magical artifact?! I heard there's a technique that lets you feed Devil Fruits to inanimate objects. Could that cloth be part of it?"

Whitebeard: "It's not the black cloth, Shiki. It's Teach's Dark-Dark Fruit. That's the real key to all of this."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Hah! Maybe. Or maybe Teach just waited for you to die so he could take what was left!"

Fire Fist Ace: "Shut up!"

Lucas: "It's the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit. It has nothing to do with the cloth. The Dark-Dark Fruit is special—it directly interacts with other Devil Fruits."

Whitebeard: "That's right! The Dark-Dark Fruit's power can negate the abilities of other Devil Fruits. Teach used it to absorb my tremors."

Fire Fist Ace: "I fought Teach before. The moment he touched me, my Devil Fruit powers were completely useless. It's like a living version of Seastone."

Lucas: "The Dark-Dark Fruit is all about absorption. It creates darkness that devours everything. While the ability user is alive, Teach can absorb Devil Fruit powers temporarily. But when the ability user dies, there's nothing stopping him from permanently absorbing the power instead."

Whitebeard: "So after I died, before my Tremor-Tremor Fruit could be reincarnated, Teach sucked it out using the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

Lucas: "Exactly!"

Lucas: "And that's not all. Teach and his men are actively hunting down strong ability users and stealing their Devil Fruits."

Golden Lion Shiki: "WHAT?!"

Pirate King Roger: "Are you serious?"

Fisher Tiger: "That's… horrifying."

Whitebeard: "Damn it… It's bad enough that Teach betrayed me. But this? This is an abomination. Stealing the very essence of a person's strength…"

Fire Fist Ace: "If that's true, Teach's power is only going to grow. More and more people will flock to him, hoping to get their hands on a powerful Devil Fruit."

Lucas: "Exactly. Whitebeard, do you still think your sons can stop Teach?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Of course they can't! The Whitebeard Pirates are the weakest crew out of all the Emperors!"

Pirate King Roger: "No way!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Think about it! Every other pirate captain recruits strong fighters."

Golden Lion Shiki: "But Whitebeard? He recruits sons instead of warriors."

Pirate King Roger: "Hah! He's got a point. Any strong pirate with real ambition wouldn't want to be called 'son' all the time."

Whitebeard: "Tch! What are you trying to say?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "I'm saying your recruitment strategy is stupid! If I had been building a fleet for decades, I wouldn't waste my time looking for 'sons'—I'd be looking for monsters!"

Whitebeard: "Hmph! My crew isn't just about strength—it's about family."

Golden Lion Shiki: "And that's why you lost. That's why Teach was able to betray you. If your 'sons' were stronger—if they had real ambition—none of this would've happened."

Pirate King Roger: "Now, now, Shiki. Let's not act like your recruitment strategy was any better."

Golden Lion Shiki: "What's that supposed to mean?!"

Pirate King Roger: "You gathered a massive fleet, and what happened? A storm wiped them out in five minutes. So tell me, was it your leadership or was it just your bad luck?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "…"

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! Face it, Shiki. You're just salty because my sons outlived your fleet!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "DAMN IT, WHITEBEARD!"
