【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Lucci looked at the four pirates surrounding him, smiled excitedly, clenched the pipe in his hand, and assumed a fighting stance. Lucci nimbly dodged the attacks launched by the pirates, jumped up easily, jumped over the pirates' heads and attacked a pirate behind him. He successfully knocked the man to the ground with the pipe.

Then he quickly dodged the dagger shot at him, and punched the pirate who attacked him from the side. Lucci stared at the remaining two pirates, one of whom seemed to have a strange devil fruit, constantly controlling the dagger to attack him. Lucci ran quickly, dodged the knife shot by him, and quickly approached him, successfully entering his shadow the moment he approached.

Lucci appeared at his side in an instant, raised the pipe in his hand and attacked his head. The pirate didn't expect Lucci to be so fast, and he was knocked to the ground before he could react.

Lucci was hiding in the shadow of the last pirate, intending to attack him before he could react. The pirate suddenly closed his eyes and stood still. Suddenly he raised the knife in his hand and attacked the place where Lucci was about to appear. Lucci barely took a step back and avoided the fatal attack, but was still seriously injured. Lucci covered his bleeding stomach and wondered how he knew where he would appear.

"Boss!" The pirate who had just attacked him suddenly shouted behind him. Luqi suddenly felt something was wrong. Sure enough, a man wearing a pirate hat and three or four people came over from behind. He was now completely surrounded by them.

"What's going on? What are you doing? Haven't you caught this guy yet?" The man who spoke was wearing a captain's hat, had a messy golden beard on his chin, and a dirty captain's uniform on his upper body.

"Boss, be careful. This kid is quite powerful. Our other three brothers were all knocked down by him." The pirate who had previously injured him said with a ferocious look on his face.

"It's because you are too weak that you were defeated by a little kid!!" The man who looked like a captain slapped the pirate who had just spoken.

"Kid, you'd better come with us, or you will die here." The pirate smiled evilly.

"Get out!" Lucci pressed hard on the bleeding wound, and the wound disappeared soon. He stood up, assumed a fighting stance, and stared at the pirates in front of him with cold eyes. His words reminded him of what had just happened, this group of pirates actually kidnapped children on this island, if he hadn't just passed by and saved those children, they would have succeeded.

"Captain, the wound on this kid has disappeared?!" one of the pirates said in surprise.

"What's the big deal? It's just a devil fruit." The pirate captain said nonchalantly. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he smiled greedily. "But, this kid actually ate a devil fruit. If we catch him, we can definitely sell him for a good price!!"

"Come on, catch him!" the pirate captain waved his hand and ordered his men.

Lucci stared at the pirates who were gradually surrounding him, constantly thinking of countermeasures. He used his pipe to block the knife that was coming towards him and threw it aside with force. Lucci took advantage of this gap to slide off the ground and leave the crowd that surrounded him.

Lucci attacked the pirate captain standing behind him, quickly jumped up, and before they could react, he raised the pipe in his hand and attacked his head with force.

The pirate captain noticed his intention and raised the knife in his hand to block the attack. Lucci moved the pipe to the side, avoiding his knife, and quickly entered his shadow at the moment of falling. While he was still in a daze, Lucci instantly appeared behind him, took out two daggers from the space and threw them at him. When the pirate was resisting the attack of the dagger, Lucci raised the pipe and swung it hard at his head, successfully hitting him. After landing, Lucci jumped up and was about to pursue the victory, but suddenly he found that the pirate raised his fist to him, and suddenly his hand suddenly broke as if it melted and attacked him. When Lucci reacted, he found that he could no longer dodge. He faced the attack, raised the pipe and hit the pirate's head with all his strength.

"boom!!"

A huge crash caused a lot of dust to rise around, and suddenly a thin figure fell from the air and fell heavily on the ground.

"Cough cough cough!!"

Lucci lay on the ground, supporting himself with his arms, struggling to sit up. Lucci covered his chest and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his arm and stood up with difficulty. Lucci stared in the direction of the pirates.

"Captain! Are you okay?" The other pirates stared in amazement at the captain lying unconscious on the ground.

"Impossible!! Their captain was defeated by a little devil!!" one of the pirates shouted in disbelief.

"Catch that kid! He has no ability to fight back!!" the pirate who had previously injured Lucci shouted loudly.

The pirates quickly surrounded Lucci. Lucci stared coldly at the pirates who were surrounding him and clenched the pipe in his hand.

"Clang clang!!"

He barely used the pipe to block the attack, and the huge force made him take a few steps back. Lucci didn't waste time, he quickly jumped up and knocked down one of the pirates. The moment he landed, he stepped on the face of a pirate on the right and used the pipe to knock down a thin pirate in front.

Lucci stood on the unconscious pirate, panting and clenching the pipe in his hand, staring at the remaining three pirates. Lucci looked at the blond pirate, who was more difficult to deal with. He seemed to have a strange ability to know where he was attacking.

He had to end this battle as soon as possible. He had already transferred the wounds that would affect his movements, but he had used his devil fruit abilities too frequently and his physical strength could not sustain it for too long.

Lucci quickly adjusted his state and attacked the pirate closest to him. He had to get rid of the other two quickly. Just when Lucci was about to get rid of the last pirate, he saw the blond pirate who had been watching on the side suddenly attack him with a knife. Lucci hurriedly changed his original attack route.

After several rounds, although Lucci avoided most of his fatal damage, he did not really hit him at all, and was cut by him in several ways. The blood soaked Lucci's cloak. After those rounds, his pipe was cut off by the pirate, but the weapon in the pirate's hand was also knocked away by him. Now both of them are weaponless.

Lucci was thinking about countermeasures. He had to find a way to take the opponent by surprise. He discovered during the fight that he could only see where he would attack or appear next. He should judge based on his own breath. Lucci adjusted his breathing and calmed down.

"Hahaha! You're out of strength now, kid? You'd better surrender. I can let you die happily." The pirate laughed angrily and madly. He was terrified of this kid who defeated their captain, and yet he didn't fall down even after this.

"Hehe, I won't die!!" Lucci slowly raised his head with a crazy smile on his face. He would not die before he achieved his goal.

Lucci transferred all the injuries on his body to Shadow. He knew that by doing so, he would exceed Shadow's endurance limit. With his current ability, he could only sustain this condition for 1 minute.

Lucci clenched his fists and attacked him first. At the same time, the pirate on the opposite side also quickly attacked Lucci. He knew where Lucci's attack would fall, so he dodged Lucci's attack and clenched his fists to attack in the direction where he would land next. Sure enough, Lucci landed in that position and he hit him.

Lucci wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was just one step away from another touch. He had already stuffed the surrounding shadows and his repeated touches into the pirate's shadow. As long as there were enough, he could control his shadow and temporarily affect his body. He touched the dagger at his waist. As long as it could affect him for a moment, he could get rid of him instantly.
