【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

He had already demonstrated his abilities to the other party. He thought that even if the revolutionary army didn't care about what he said, they would definitely be wary of a powerful person with strange devil fruit abilities, and this person was related to their leader. In this case, he would definitely take their conversation seriously, Lucci thought happily, and now he just had to wait.

Lucci was walking on the path leading to the port. There was a pirate ship docked on the coast. The pirates on it were moving things and moving constantly. He looked at the scenery in the distance. The sun was setting, and the sea water seemed to be dyed orange by the orange-red sunset, forming a golden-red sea. Lucci looked at the sky that seemed to be burning with flames. Ace seemed to appear in front of him with a smile on his face. He didn't know how Ace was. Lucci's mind moved, and Ace's life card appeared in his hand. He looked down at the life paper in his hand, and the smile on his face froze instantly. The life paper was burning, from the previous palm size to the current palm size. Lucci's expression became solemn. Ace was in trouble.

……

"It's been five days and there's still no winner."

"If the fight continues, both of them will die."

The members of the Spade Pirates looked worriedly at Ace who was still fighting; they were exhausted just from watching the battle.

Ace was breathing heavily and staring at Jinbei opposite him. This was the strongest opponent he had encountered since he went to sea. Even if he tried his best, he could not win.

Jinbei kept gasping for breath and staring at Ace. He no longer had the ability to attack. Jinbei's eyes went dark and his strong body could no longer support him.

Ace breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jinbei falling down. He finally won. Then Ace also fell down exhausted. Ace relaxed and lay on the beach to rest.

Suddenly there was a loud noise on the sea. Ace turned his head and looked at the sea. A huge whale battleship jumped out of the sea, rushed towards the coast, and slowly docked on the coast.

Ace struggled to stand up and stared at the sudden giant. He already had a guess in his mind.

"It's Whitebeard!" Deus looked at the fluttering pirate flag with a serious expression.

A dozen powerful pirates stood on the deck, looking at them expressionlessly. A majestic figure slowly walked forward from the back of the deck. The powerful pirates on the deck automatically gave way to the figure and stood on both sides behind Whitebeard.

"Who wants to take my head? As you wish... I will be your opponent!" As the voice fell, a huge figure jumped down from the deck, and the earth shook and everything turned upside down. A majestic momentum swept the whole place. Under this fierce and domineering domineering aura, the Spade Pirates were almost annihilated. Only Deuce and a few others were still struggling to hold on. However, as soon as Whitebeard exerted his strength, Deuce and his men were completely defeated in an instant.

Ace looked at Whitebeard with a serious expression. The moment he saw Whitebeard, he knew that it was impossible for him to defeat him now, but he would not back down. However, he had to make a choice.

"Fire Net!" Ace raised his left hand and summoned countless flames. The hot flames rose up and formed a huge wall of fire behind Ace, isolating him and the Spade members on both sides of the battlefield.

"Captain! What are you doing!!" the Spade Pirate shouted in shock.

"Run away!" Ace shouted at them, then turned and stared at Whitebeard.

……

Lucci quickly jumped off the pirate ship. He felt Ace's breath on the island. He looked at the life paper in his hand. It had become smaller, as if it was about to burn out. Lucci moved quickly in the direction of the life paper. Suddenly, a sharp domineering aura penetrated his body. Lucci's heart tightened and he quickly ran towards Ace. There was an extremely powerful breath near Ace.

……

"What's wrong? Are you going to back down now?" White Beard thought he was going to run away, and looked at the Flame Boy in front of him with some displeasure.

"I hope you can let my companions go. In exchange, I will stay here!" Ace looked at Whitebeard firmly, his face full of determination to fight.

"You are quite arrogant, young boy." The white-bearded man raised the corner of his mouth.

Ace rushed towards Whitebeard's huge body, but was knocked down by a blow. Ace lay on the ground in embarrassment. "This is the man who is on par with that guy." Ace gritted his teeth and tightened his fingers, grabbing the sand under his hands. He supported his upper body with his wrists and barely stood up. Ace covered the wound that was bleeding and gasped. He raised his head and stared at Whitebeard in front of him.

"Ace! You...big idiot, what are you doing!!" Suddenly a voice came through the huge wall of fire.

Ace turned around in shock "L...Lucci!?"

Whitebeard also looked in the direction of the sound curiously, but he didn't pay too much attention to it because there was something more important now.

"Be my son!" Whitebeard stretched out his hand to Ace and said with a smile.

"What a joke!!" Ace shouted in shock and anger, and then used all his strength to launch a final attack on Whitebeard.

……

"Deus, take everyone to the boat first." Lucci said solemnly. He didn't expect it was Whitebeard.

"No, we have to stay here. We can't abandon the captain!" Deuce retorted angrily.

"This is the captain's order. Do you want to disobey the captain's order?" Lucci drew his sword. He needed to pass through the wall of fire. "The Whitebeard Pirates have a large number of powerful captains. We have no chance of winning in a head-on fight. You guys go to the ship and prepare to set sail. I will find a way to take Ace away."

"I understand." He can only trust Lucci now, believe that he can take Ace away. Deuce has called all his companions away, and they want to go back to the ship. This is their only chance.

After Lucci and the other members of the Spade Pirates left, he swung his sword at the wall of fire and used his sword energy to cut a gap in the wall of fire, allowing him to pass through quickly.

As soon as he entered the fire wall, he saw Ace being knocked to the ground by Whitebeard. Lucci quickly stepped forward and caught Ace's body. Lucci looked at Ace who had lost consciousness, his heart sank, and he quickly checked him and breathed a sigh of relief, he just fainted.

"Who are you? Little kid." White Beard looked at the person who suddenly rushed in.

Lucci slowly stood up and walked slowly towards the Whitebeard pirate. He adjusted his hood to hide his face in the darkness. He raised his head to look into Whitebeard's eyes and said sincerely, "Hello, Captain Whitebeard. My name is Lucci, and I'm Ace's partner. I'm sorry for Ace's provocation. I hope you can let me take him away."

"Hahaha, I won't let go of the brat who provokes me easily." Whitebeard laughed, "So you want to fight me too?"

"I'm happy to accompany you. I wonder if your strength is as strong as the legend says." Lucci said provocatively.

"Cool!" Whitebeard laughed, then his face darkened. "What a self-righteous brat! Let me show you what I am doing."

Lucci took the initiative to attack, and continued to attack Whitebeard with fierce slashes.

Before he was attacked, Whitebeard moved in surprise and a huge explosion was heard in the direction of the slash, and a huge crack appeared in the ground. For a moment, Lucci really hoped that this attack would cause damage. However, when the dust cleared, Lucci could clearly see that the huge pirate didn't even move his feet. He had no time to think, and quickly approached, turning his wrist and continuously attacking Whitebeard with powerful sword moves. Even so, his attacks were all blocked by Whitebeard. Is this the strength of the strongest man?

The attack came so fast that he barely had time to notice that Whitebeard had used his devil fruit power before it hit him, more blood flowed from the wound he was hit by, and he could feel his ribs broken from the force that had just hit him, he hit the sand hard, causing his vision to go dark for a moment.

When his vision returned, he was half-crouching on the beach with a look of pain on his face. He used his knife to support himself and stumbled to his feet, his body shaking from the attack.

Lucci covered the bleeding wound on his abdomen, took a deep breath, and then felt the pain in his chest. His face turned pale because of the pain. He took a staggering step forward. With a thought, he received the message from the shadow. He couldn't help but smile and relaxed. His goal was achieved.
