Marko's ability was the Undying Bird Fruit. If Gu Xuan had eaten any other Demon Fruit, he would definitely have turned around and fled without a second word, because there was no chance of winning. However, the Fruit of Concealment was different. It was often able to have a great effect by catching him off guard.
In the air, Marko suddenly launched an attack, transforming into a giant blue bird. With a flap of his wings, he quickly rushed in front of Gu Xuan.
The Undying Bird was much larger than Gu Xuan, so Gu Xuan wasn't in a hurry. He quickly used his 'Sight and Vision' to detect Marko's attack on Gu Xuan, but he didn't dodge. The moment Marko passed through his body that had turned into black smoke, he suddenly grabbed with his hand and activated his ability.
"Captain Marko, you were too careless.”
Gu Xuan grabbed the Immortal Bird's right rear claw and activated his secret fruit ability. Instantly, Marko felt that his ability could not be used. His Immortal Bird form started from the right rear claw that was grabbed and quickly turned into a human form. The moment he turned into a human form, Gu Xuan attacked.
"Armed!"
Gu Xuan's right fist turned black, and he smashed it down on Marko's head.
"Boom!"
Marko's entire body was smashed to the ground by him. He would not be the slightest bit careless when facing Marko. That punch was filled with all his strength. He believed that even Marko would not be able to withstand such an all-out attack.
Marko was indeed stunned by Gu Xuan's series of attacks. After his ability quickly disappeared, before he could even react, he was hit by a punch. His head was covered in stars. It was only when he crashed onto the ground that the intense pain allowed him to react.
After succeeding in his attack, Gu Xuan attacked again. However, Marko was the vice-emperor of the White Beard Pirates after all. Even though he was hit by Gu Xuan's full-powered attack, he had already reacted at this time. His body bounced off the ground and he dodged Gu Xuan's right foot in a sorry state.
"Bang!"
A hole appeared in the ground, but Gu Xuan wasn't surprised. He didn't continue to attack, but looked at Marko. Marko was very powerful, and even though he had the upper hand, it was impossible for him to kill Marko in one strike.
Marko's forehead was bleeding, and his face was no longer as confident as before. He stared coldly at Gu Xuan.
"It can actually nullify my ability. Is this the ability of your fruit?”
Ordinary attacks could not pose a threat to him at all. He was known as the Undying Bird, but when Gu Xuan attacked him just now, he actually transformed back into a human from the Undying Bird form. Moreover, when he was attacked, his fruit ability did not work. He was hit hard and was injured, and it was the type that could not be recovered immediately.
Gu Xuan said," The most powerful natural Devil Fruit is the Dark Fruit. It's different from ordinary natural Devil Fruits. It can restrain all ability users. When any ability user is faced with the Dark Fruit's ability, the fruit's ability will disappear. That's why I was able to easily injure you.”
"A demonic fruit that can restrain all demonic fruit ability users. No wonder you betrayed the Pirates and even killed Saatchi for it." Marko said.”
"I still can't help but defend myself. I didn't kill Saatchi, and the power of the Fruit of Darkness is indeed what I want. But this is only part of the reason."”
"There are other reasons?"
Marko was originally furious after being punched by Gu Xuan, but he was attracted by Gu Xuan's words and suppressed his anger.
"Of course there's a reason. If I can't get the fruit of darkness, I can't activate the dark system.”
Of course, he couldn't say this out loud. Gu Xuan continued,"Because there was another person in the White Beard Pirates who wanted to get the fruit of darkness like me. I discovered his ambition, so I took the fruit first. I thought I could save Saatchi's life, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. It's a pity that I wasn't strong enough at that time, or else such a tragedy wouldn't have happened.”
Marko had been listening attentively the entire time. When he knew that Gu Xuan had stopped, he said with disdain,"Your lie is not bad. Tell me, who is the murderer of Saatchi?”
"Marshall D. Teach!"
Facing Marko, Gu Xuan didn't hesitate at all and directly answered. He even explained,"I know you might not believe me. After all, Tiki has been in the Pirates for more than 20 years. He has never fought for anything or stood out. However, you don't know that he is an ambitious fellow. The reason why he hasn't taken action is because he hasn't found an opportunity yet.”
Marko obviously didn't believe him and said coldly,"Gu Xuan, you're really good at framing people. Tiki obviously didn't have any ambition, but in your words, it became a hidden ambition, waiting for an opportunity to act. I think you're just looking for a scapegoat to get rid of your crimes.”
"Heh."
Gu Xuan chuckled. Blackbeard had no ambition? It could only be said that this guy had hidden himself too deeply. If it wasn't for the appearance of the fruit of darkness, he wouldn't have taken the risk to act. However, there was no 'if'. It had already happened.
"If I'm not wrong, Blackbeard must be the one who is the most eager to capture me, right? But you don't know that he didn't want to take revenge for Saatchi, but for the secret fruit I ate.”
Marko's expression changed slightly because Luo Xuan didn't say that Tiki was very active in capturing Gu Xuan. Other than Ace, he was the most active one. This seemed to be a very normal thing, but now that Gu Xuan mentioned it alone, it was not normal.
Ace had a very good relationship with Saatchi and Gu Xuan, so his reaction was intense. However, Tiki might have a good relationship with Saatchi, but not with Gu Xuan. However, his reaction was even more intense than Ace's, which was indeed a little strange.
Gu Xuan keenly noticed the change in Marko's expression, so he took the opportunity to continue,"I want to know one thing. How did Saatchi die?”
"Don't you know that?" Marko replied hesitantly. You're really ruthless. Your internal organs are all injured, and you can't die in peace.”
"Kacha!"
Gu Xuan's fists suddenly clenched. His expression was furious and painful as he shouted,"Tiki, that bastard."
Taking a deep breath, he said to Marko,""Marko, you and I have known each other for ten years. You should know me very well. If I wanted to kill someone, it wouldn't be so troublesome. Saatchi wouldn't be on guard against me. I could solve the problem with one stab. There was only one explanation for his corpse being in this state. Someone was covering it up.”
