Pirates: Dark Smoker, never lose three times in a row

The weather was very hot, and the weather was very hot.

An oasis somewhere outside of Yoba.

Smoker and Sanai have been there for several days.

In the center of the oasis, a huge iron block was hung on a big tree.

The tree was bent down and became a sandbag.

Sanai was shirtless and punched the iron block, his hands were already covered with scars.

Under the scorching sun, sweat flowed like a stream, dripped onto the ground, and evaporated in a few seconds.

But Sanai didn't care, just stared at the iron block and continued to swing his fists.

His diligence was no less than Smoker's in the past.

Not far away, Smoker sat on the ground with a seastone pendant in his hand.

The 30% pure seastone pendant was outdated and had been given to Tina.

This one was specially given to him by Zephyr, with a purity of 50%.

Smoker held the pendant.

Although most of his power was blocked, there was nothing unusual on the surface.

In the past few years, with the recovery ability of the seastone necklace and the Dark Dark Fruit, Smoker's strength soared like a rocket.

He thought he could continue to practice like this, and even wondered why the three admirals and the four emperors did not practice like this.

It was not until more than a year ago, when he adapted to this seastone necklace and increased the purity again, that he finally understood the reason.

For some reason, the effect of using this method again became negligible, and it was no different from normal exercise.

At first, Smoker was also shocked, thinking that there was something wrong with him, and hurried to ask those strong men.

It turned out that Sengoku, Akainu, Aokiji... everyone was like this.

Even through intelligence and information, it was learned that those pirate strongmen were like this.

After reaching a certain level of strength, seastone can no longer assist in training...

As for the reason...

They can't explain it.

Smoker can only accept this cruel reality.

Before, he was either busy with the construction of G12 or the slave trade.

He never had time to think about how to practice. Now he finally has a lot of free time and can think about it carefully...

Smoker put the pendant into the box and then put it into the darkness.

Then he waved his hand, and a ball of darkness left his palm and turned into a round ball floating in front of him.

The black ball was only the size of a fist, but it also exuded a majestic gravitational force, and the surrounding air, rocks, and sand were continuously sucked in.

Smoker shook his fingers left and right, and the black ball moved with his mind, like a ball of lightning.

Soon, the black ball absorbed sand and gravel equivalent to tens of thousands of times its volume, leaving a deep pit on the ground, but it itself seemed to have not changed.

Smoker raised his hand, his palm turned black, and slowly approached the black ball.

After a while, the black ball began to shrink slowly and soon disappeared.

Smoker let out a long breath, took out a notebook and pen from the darkness, and began to write.

He always felt that for fruit development, summarization and thinking were more important than simple training.

So he kept a notebook to record his own experience and rules, and now he has used up most of it.

[The ability user can separate the darkness from the body, but cannot create darkness out of thin air. ]

[When the darkness is connected to the ability user, the ability user can freely control gravity and shape. But once the darkness leaves the body, the ability user can only manipulate the activity and shape, and can no longer affect gravity. ]

[Darkness has extremely strong stability. No matter how large the gravity is, no matter how much matter is absorbed, it will not be damaged. ]

[Darkness has a lifespan. If the ability user does not intervene, the darkness that leaves the body will suddenly disappear within half an hour. ]

[And within this time, in order to eliminate the darkness, either the ability user actively removes the ability, or uses a lot of domineering to offset...]

[The dark ability is still effective for the ability user itself! ! 】

Smoker thought for a moment and added another sentence.

[Regarding the devil fruit, all the rules are staged, but the current development level is the upper limit! ! ]

[The development of the fruit is the process of breaking the rules and turning the possible into the impossible. ]

Then he sighed heavily and closed the book.

Griffin next to him couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing that Smoker was no longer thinking, he ran over with a huge iron basin in his mouth, and rubbed his head as big as a human against his chest.

Smoker touched its chin.

"Have you eaten it again? You can't eat it like this, it will give you a stomachache..."

Griffin didn't respond either, just arched back and forth.

"Okay, okay, I know..."

Smoker released the darkness, and a huge piece of ice emerged

It fell into the iron basin.

Griffin cried out in joy and immediately lay on the ice and licked it.

Smoker knew that Alabasta was a desert kingdom,

so when he left the Drum Kingdom, he broke off half of the iceberg on a whim and took it away.

He didn't expect that he couldn't use it, so Griffin enjoyed it all...

Smoker didn't care about it anymore and went to find Sanai.
