Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard

10 minutes ago.

Lafitte approached the unlucky man who had won a northern turtle at the auction.

After some playing, he took what he wanted from his bruised body.

Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from the side.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lafitte's face, and then he calmly waved his cane to fly away the incoming weapon.

After seeing the face of the uninvited guest, Lafitte seemed to have found an interesting toy.

"Hoho, isn't this the righteous Mr. Hunter?"

"Well, no, I should call you Big Pirate Ed now."

Facing Lafitte's provocation, Ed grimaced and gritted his teeth and said, "Lafitte, you can't run away this time."

Lafitte was not angry. He played with his crutch and said, "The momentum is good. I hope I can enjoy it this time."

swoosh~

Without saying a word, Ed swung the meteor hammer with his right hand and hit Lafitte.

boom!

Lafitte dodged lightly, drew out his staff and made an arc.

clang~

Ed straightened the chain with both hands and blocked the attack.

After deflecting the attack, he chained the chain in his left hand and the meteor hammer in his right hand, and continued to attack.

Lafitte moved left and right, like a light white swan, calmly dodging Ed's attacks.

clang~clang~

From time to time, he attacks with his sword, which makes some strange sounds when he swings it.

After a moment, Ed mocked: "Besides hiding around and using shabby hypnosis, what else can you do?"

"Hoo ho..."

Lafitte said with an appreciative tone: "Ed, you have become a lot stronger."

The staff sword in his hand is similar to the "Xia Chan" that was auctioned before. Because of the special forging material, the sword will make a strange sound when he swings it.

It's just that the sound made by his staff and knife is more delicate, and it will have a good effect when combined with his hypnosis.

The so-called hypnosis is not that mysterious.

For the first time, Ed was easily hypnotized and controlled by him simply because he was a young man with immature willpower and strength.

When Ed found him for the second time, it was no longer easy to hypnotize him.

But he still took advantage of Edru's anger when the volcano erupted, and made him fall into his trap step by step.

This time Ed's strength has improved a lot and he has learned to control his emotions.

But he realized that Ed was just suppressing his hatred and anger.

There was still a slight disharmony in his movements during the battle, and he always had the urge to rush up and tear him into pieces regardless.

Focusing on this point, he guides and amplifies Ed's emotions step by step, and there may be unexpected gains.

Maybe after this hypnosis, Ed will learn to enjoy killing.

He would be happy to have another one of his kind.

It will definitely be a pleasure to get along with similar people who share the same hobbies...

"Hoo ho ho..."

At this point Ed was no longer just a fun toy to him.

Ed met Lafitte's strange gaze and couldn't help but feel a chill.

Next…

Lafitte continued to verbally tease Ed.

He also deliberately exposed flaws from time to time, and when Ed thought he had hope of victory, he would ruthlessly smash them into pieces.

Such and such...

Lafitte looked at Ed, step by step developing towards what he wanted in his heart, and showed an expectant smile.

Ed didn't realize that his mentality was falling into a dangerous situation.

He didn't realize that the battlefield between him and Lafitte was moving towards the direction of the dense crowd.

Finally, after a few minutes...

Lafitte watched with pleasure as a killing flower bloomed brilliantly under his own watering!

......

"what happened?"

Hughes looked at Ed who was killing like crazy and found that something was wrong with him.

His eyes were red, he kept mumbling something, and the meteor hammer in his hand mercilessly hit the fleeing pirates.

"Is it..."

Hughes guessed Ed's movements and made some judgments about the scene before him.

Then he saw a figure dressed as a dramatic figure hanging slowly behind Ed.

"Lafitte!"

Hughes confirmed his judgment that Ed was hypnotized.

Lafitte hypnotizes Ed to kill, just as he hypnotizes guardsmen in the future to open the door to justice.

Hughes' expression turned gloomy. He didn't know why Ed approached Lafitte in advance.

Do you think your strength is enough?

Or do you think your chances of winning the Devil Fruit are slim?

Or did you give up after knowing that this fruit was a fruit of self-abuse?

While thinking about it, Hughes had disappeared.

He swept forward like a cannonball, holding the bloody epee in both hands, and his momentum continued to grow!

"Sound Slash"

He quickly attacked Lafitte, and at the same time, bursts of metal sound waves spread out!

"Ahhh~"

The pirate who was affected by the metal sound immediately covered his head and ears and screamed.

Crazy Ed knocked over a pirate and then stopped, shaking his head to relieve the pain of being attacked by sound waves.

At the same time, the red light in the eyes gradually faded...

Lafitte, who was hanging at the end, frowned tightly after being hit by the metal sound, and his mind became slightly lost.

Before the pain was relieved, Lafitte's expression suddenly changed, he instantly drew out his staff and knife, and slashed forward hard!

clang~

A clanging sound of metal collision spread instantly!

Lafitte's top hat was blown away by the wind and waves, but he didn't pay attention, but stared solemnly at the uninvited guest in front of him.

After seeing the iconic blood-colored epee clashing with his own sword, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"Are you...Baker Hughes?"

Hughes did not respond. After withdrawing his epee, he launched a fierce and continuous offensive!

"One sword style, continuous slashing"

clang!clang!clang!

Lafitte was caught off guard, holding the sword in both hands and parrying in a messy manner, and was forced to retreat continuously.

puff~

A pair of wings with white feathers suddenly stretched out from Lafitte's back.

The next moment, the wings flapped.

Lafitte instantly flew back a certain distance, breaking away from Hughes' offensive suppression.

"Humph..."

Hughes snorted.

He looked at Lafitte, who had reacted and his fighting spirit was rising, preparing to launch the next attack.

At this time...

A roar interrupted his momentum.

"Hughes, stop!!"

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ed running towards him.

Huhu~

Ed gasped: "Thank you for breaking Lafitte's hypnosis on me."

"But this is my battle, I must kill Lafitte with my own hands!"

Hughes frowned and did not respond, but Lafitte, who was hanging in the air, laughed with unknown meaning.

"Hoo ho ho..."

"Baker Hughes, we will meet again."

"And you, Ed, I hope you can give me more pleasure next time."

After Lafitte finished speaking, he flew away from the scene in an instant.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Hughes' aura slowly dissipated.

In fact, he was not ready to fight with flying ability users.

Although he also has a certain ability to stay in the air, it cannot be compared with the flexible Lafitte.

Unless one hit is sure to kill, the opponent will be able to leave and hit whenever he wants, and he will be very passive.

While thinking...

Hughes turned to Ed, intending to have a serious talk with him.
