38. Chapter 38

Day 38

It's been about two weeks since that first confrontation with Greybeard.

Two weeks of hell.

Every time I'd show my face around Greybeard, the old man starts attacking me without warning.

I can't even land a hit, quake-powered or otherwise, on him. He just scatters into ashes, smothers me, hits me, taunts me and the whole damn cycle just repeats itself.

I tried burning him, but certain types of ashes can smother flame or more can be produce by fire. In fact, I gave Greybeard a whole new of fire-ash combo arsenal. My moustache nearly got burned off in that incident.

Towards the end of the two weeks, I ended being more defensive, and managed stop some of the old man's attacks. Occasionally I try to throw in a hit but I might as well just flip him off for all the good it's doing.

I've been thinking about how to get through the Ash Fruit's power. I mean, I was facing the same situation when I was fighting Blackbeak, he's powers ain't Logia, but it does have similar effects. I couldn't land a hit on him at all, but Greybeard was able to cut him.

Why?

Is there another way to suppress Devil Fruit powers that I don't know about?

I'd ask Greybeard, but at the way he's going, it's more likely he'll cut my head off before I could even ask the question.

Maybe one of the older crew members.

Just maybe.
