Chapter 413: A Heart Beating Again
the other side.
In the research institute of Pangu City.
The cold light shone on Blackbeard's body which was cut into several sections.
The cold metal table reflected the pale light, the air around it seemed to be stagnant, and a deathly silence enveloped the entire laboratory.
The researchers were busy with their heads down under the lights, concentrating on data analysis and equipment monitoring, and did not notice that the seemingly lifeless body on the table was quietly changing.
Blackbeard's body was torn into pieces, and his broken limbs were placed randomly on various laboratory tables.
CP's agents had already completed their mission and transported this body here as experimental material for the "Pacifist" project.
For them, although Blackbeard is dead, his body still has great research value.
After all, this body was much stronger than those of the other Shichibukai - it wasn't even human.
However, during the night when the researchers were working hard and nervous, a strange atmosphere quietly permeated the laboratory.
Blackbeard's broken body began to change slowly and silently.
Snapped……
There was a slight sound, as if some incredible power was flowing faintly among the limbs.
Under the influence of some strange force, the flesh that had been broken into several sections began to emit fine black lines.
These black threads slowly spread from the broken limbs like a self-healing spider web, quietly stitching the scattered body together.
The whole process was silent, the movement of the black line was extremely secretive, with only a very faint "sizzling" sound echoing in the air.
The researchers were unaware of this and continued to record various data under the light, completely unaware of the changes behind them.
The black lines moved among Blackbeard's broken parts like a living thing, gradually piecing him back together.
As time goes by, this strange process accelerates.
The stitches between the limbs gradually became complete, and the black lines continued to shrink, tightly binding the broken flesh, as if trying to knead them into a complete whole again.
Boom!
A sudden burst of violent heartbeats broke the silence in the laboratory.
Blackbeard's body twitched suddenly, and the black lines on his limbs began to tremble violently.
With every heartbeat, his body gradually recovered its vitality. The demon who once killed countless people was returning from the brink of death.
Blackbeard's chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing gradually became clearer and more rapid.
Those eyelids that were originally tightly closed suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed in the eyes.
There was a kind of mockery and contempt for death in those eyes, as if everything was under his control.
"Thief hahahahahahaha...I, Blackbeard, cannot be killed!"
Accompanied by a deafening laugh, Blackbeard suddenly sat up, his chest heaving violently.
His voice seemed to echo throughout the entire laboratory, sharp, arrogant, and filled with endless malice and complacency.
The equipment in the laboratory made a low buzzing sound due to the vibration. The researchers were startled by the sudden movement and turned their heads to look at the "dead" who could never be resurrected.
Extreme horror and disbelief instantly appeared on their faces.
Blackbeard's resurrection came like a nightmare, completely overturning their understanding of life and death.
Clearly, just a few hours ago, this body was completely broken and lifeless, but now, the dead Pirate King was standing in front of them again, laughing wildly, as if he had returned from the depths of hell.
Blackbeard stood on the experimental table, moving his reassembled limbs, the smile on his face becoming more ferocious.
There were still some black lines on his body, but instead of weakening his aura, these marks made him look more like a demon crawling back from the abyss.
"The World Government guys are so naive..."
Blackbeard muttered to himself, his eyes filled with bloodthirstiness and greed.
His voice was low and cold, yet full of confidence, as if nothing in the world could stop his ambition.
The researchers froze in their places, not daring to make any sound.
They knew that the Blackbeard in front of them was not an ordinary pirate, but a complete monster.
Their bodies were shaking and even their breathing became cautious, for fear of attracting the attention of the ferocious beast.
Blackbeard took a deep breath, as if enjoying the feeling of rebirth.
He raised his hand gently, looking at his intact body, the smile in his eyes became more intense.
It seems that this world has never been able to truly erase him, and he is destined to create a bigger storm on this ocean.
Blackbeard slowly walked towards the shivering researchers with a creepy smile on his face.
His smile was ferocious and full of malice, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of controlling the fate of others.
His gaze swept across the researchers in white coats in front of him like a knife. Their eyes were full of fear and no one dared to look him in the eye.
Blackbeard's voice was low and cold, "Where is the treasure house here?"
The researchers felt a chill in their hearts. Facing this demon crawling back from hell, they knew they had no choice.
Pride and dignity become worthless in the face of life and death, and the only thing one can do is surrender.
The leading researcher suppressed his trembling, took a step forward, and whispered, "It's just in front... Please follow me."
Blackbeard looked at their surrender with satisfaction. With his hands behind his back, he walked leisurely behind the researchers with steady and powerful steps.
His breath made it difficult for everyone to breathe, as if the air was filled with the shadow of death.
As they arrived at a huge metal door, the leading researcher tremblingly pressed the button to open the door.
The door slowly opened, and a cold breath rushed in from inside.
Blackbeard's eyes narrowed and he was secretly delighted in his heart - this was the place he was looking for.
The moment he walked into the room, his eyes were immediately drawn to the shelves around him.
"Humph……"
Blackbeard sneered, his eyes wandering around the room filled with research materials and devil fruits.
The walls here are filled with metal racks, on which are neatly displayed several devil fruits of different shapes and colors.
Each fruit emits a faint light, as if containing endless power.
Blackbeard narrowed his eyes, looked at these devil fruits greedily, and felt ecstatic in his heart.
"These guys really found a treasure..."
Blackbeard said to himself, the smile on his lips growing deeper and deeper.
He stood in the middle of the room, looking around, his eyes full of possessiveness and the pleasure of a winner.
And just as he stepped into the room, the metal door behind him suddenly slammed shut with a heavy sound.
"boom!"
The sound was like a muffled thud, which frightened the researchers so much that their faces turned pale.
They looked at each other, with a hint of tension and uneasiness in their eyes.
Blackbeard just shrugged, not caring at all.
He had long expected that the World Government would not let him get away easily, but he had no fear in his heart - he did not take these despicable means seriously at all.
He smiled coldly, as if he saw through everything.
"Close the door?" Blackbeard sneered, "Do you think you can trap me like this?"
He ignored the changes behind him and walked straight towards the devil fruits.
His steps were steady and his momentum was as strong as a mountain. The power of darkness was stirring in his body, as if it wanted to devour everything.
His fingers trembled slightly, as if he sensed some powerful gravitational force.
His eyes finally locked on a fruit. That fruit exuded a stronger scent than the other fruits, as if calling him.
Blackbeard walked up to the devil fruit, his eyes greedy and fanatical.
He could feel the dark power in his body resonating wonderfully with the fruit, as if they were born as one.
This power made him extremely eager.
He reached out without hesitation and grabbed the fruit in his hand. His rough palm stroked the patterns on the surface of the fruit, feeling the power contained in it.
"Thief hahahahaha..."
Blackbeard laughed, his eyes full of fanaticism and excitement.
Without any hesitation, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the devil fruit whole.
The bitter and strange taste of the fruit spread over his tongue, but he didn't care at all.
As the fruit was swallowed, he felt a powerful force erupting in his body, as if the darkness in his body had gained endless space for expansion.
“Thief hahahahahaha…this is power!”
Blackbeard laughed wildly, his body seemed to be filled with this power. Darkness surrounded him and raged wildly. The whole room seemed to be swallowed up by this darkness.
At this moment, the researchers standing behind him had completely collapsed to the ground, their faces as pale as paper and their eyes filled with despair.
They knew that the Blackbeard in front of them was no longer an ordinary pirate.
He possesses powers beyond those of ordinary humans - perhaps even beyond the limits of their comprehension.
At this moment, Blackbeard completed his resurrection, and at the same time, his ambition and power reached a new height.
He is no longer the pirate who can be manipulated at will by the World Government, but a strong man who will subvert the rules and create a new order.
