Marshall D Teach, popularly known as Kurohige, has proven himself to be one of the strongest characters in the world of One Piece. He has obtained the position of Yonkou, which is one of the four most powerful pirates ruling over the New World. The immense power that he possesses can be attributed to the Devil Fruit he consumed, the Logia-type Yami Yami no Mi, which allows him to transform into the element of darkness.
Despite the benefits of having such an ability, the Yami Yami no Mi has its drawbacks. Kurohige is unable to transform into the element of darkness and must suffer double the damage from attacks. Despite this, Kurohige believes that the Yami Yami no Mi is the strongest Devil Fruit in existence.
He proved this to be true when he faced Monkey D Garp on the island of Hachinosu in One Piece Chapter 1087. Kurohige has been relentlessly pursuing the Yami Yami no Mi for some time and even betrayed Shirohige to obtain it. His body structure, combined with the Yami Yami no Mi, allowed him to become a Yonkou and obtain the strongest Paramecia-type Gura Gura no Mi.
However, the true power of the Yami Yami no Mi is revealed in the One Piece Chapter 1087. Kurohige’s body underwent an Awakening after being critically injured by Monkey D Garp. His body turned a pitch-black, terrifying aura emitted from him, and he managed to nullify all of Garp’s attacks.
The Awakening of Kurohige’s Devil Fruit allows him to eliminate all the effects of an attack the moment it touches him. This is due to the nature of darkness, which is the absence of everything. The awakening revealed the true potential of the Yami Yami no Mi and made Monkey D Garp’s fate uncertain as he had to face Blackbeard and his newfound power alone.
In conclusion, Kurohige’s awakening has proved the potential of the Yami Yami no Mi and has left the fans of One Piece in awe. The perplexing and varied writing style, as demonstrated throughout this article, highlights the intricacy of the story and the ever-evolving power of the Devil Fruits.
