Chapter 608

"What is this place?" Whitebeard asked.

"This is a temple; inside is an ancient artifact that can devour any Imperial Tool," Locke explained. "We need to use it to destroy Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit."

"This artifact is very magical, but also very dangerous," the Phoenix reminded. "If used improperly, it could lead to serious consequences."

"I know, but we must take this risk," Locke said. "Otherwise, Blackbeard's crimes will continue to threaten humanity and the world."

The three entered the temple and saw a huge artifact, which emitted powerful energy fluctuations.

"This is a very ancient artifact, said to be created by gods," Locke explained. "It can devour any Imperial Tool, including the Dark-Dark Fruit."

"Then what should we do now?" Whitebeard asked.

"I need to devour this artifact, and then devour the Dark-Dark Fruit," Locke said. "But this process is very dangerous; you need to guard me."

"No problem, we will protect you," the Phoenix said.

Locke walked to the artifact and began to devour it. He felt endless energy pouring into his body; his body began to glow, emitting a strong aura.

"This is a very dangerous energy; you must control it well," Whitebeard reminded.

"I know, I will be careful," Locke replied.

Gradually, Locke's body began to change; he became more and more powerful, and his body also became brighter and brighter.

"The Dark-Dark Fruit has arrived here," the Phoenix reminded.

Locke quickly devoured the Dark-Dark Fruit; he felt powerful dark energy pouring into his body, and his body began to become even more powerful.

"You did very well, Locke," Whitebeard praised.

"Now, we must leave here quickly," the Phoenix reminded. "Blackbeard's subordinates have discovered us."

The three hurriedly left the temple; they saw Blackbeard's pirate crew rushing toward them.

"We must leave here quickly," Locke said.

"Alright, we will go with you," Whitebeard said.

The three began to run; they encountered Blackbeard's subordinates along the way, but they were all easily defeated by Locke.

"You cannot stop me!" one of Blackbeard's subordinates roared.

"We don't need to stop you, because you have already failed," Locke said.

Locke ran fast all the way, powerful energy surging constantly in his body; he felt his strength becoming more and more powerful, as if he could easily defeat any enemy.

"I can feel my Dark-Dark Fruit constantly strengthening; this is a very magical feeling," Locke said to his companions.

"Your ability is really powerful, Locke," Whitebeard exclaimed. "Can you tell us what your ability is?"

"Of course, my ability is the Dark-Dark Fruit; it allows me to control the power of darkness," Locke explained. "I can make darkness thicker, or make it disappear."

"Then can you use this power to become invisible?" the Phoenix asked curiously.

"Of course I can; I can make myself completely invisible, and not even a sound will be made," Locke replied.

"This is really too amazing, Locke," Whitebeard exclaimed. "Your ability can better help us."
