【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Lucci quickly jumped onto a tree nearby. The next second, the tree under his feet began to be gradually swallowed by the black hole on the ground. He immediately jumped onto another tree before the trunk disintegrated. When he was close enough to Titch, he stepped on the collapsed trunk under his feet, jumped up directly, gripped the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand, and swung his arm vigorously from top to bottom, slashing towards Titch who was releasing darkness with an extremely powerful blow.

Blackbeard's pupils shrank, and he stopped controlling the black smoke. He immediately put his hands in front of his chest, gritted his teeth and took the powerful blow. At the same time, his body kept retreating, and a huge crack appeared on the ground where the blow passed. It was not until Blackbeard's body hit the mountain that he controlled his retreating body, but the cliff behind him was cut in half.

“Damn it, damn Lucci!” Blackbeard looked at the huge crack in front of him with a solemn expression, staring at Lucci with eyes revealing deep fear. “I didn’t expect you to have such strength!”

"There are still many things you don't know!" Lucci said, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. The next second, he appeared directly in front of Teach. Before he could react, he quickly swung the knife at his chest.

Blackbeard's pupils shrank, and he looked at Lucci who suddenly appeared in front of him in shock. He immediately dodged to the right. The distance was too close. Blackbeard took the blow and clenched his right fist to hit Lucci's chest fiercely. The next second, Lucci's body flew backwards uncontrollably. At the same time, a big gash appeared on Blackbeard's chest, and blood splattered. Teach screamed in pain, "Ah! It hurts so much!"

Lucci flew backwards, flipped backwards before landing, half-bent his knees, stuck his knife into the ground, slid back several meters, and quickly stabilized his body.

Lucci, who had just stabilized his body, spat out a mouthful of blood the next second. He could feel that several of his ribs were broken. Teach was stronger than he thought. Lucci looked up at Blackbeard who was lying on the ground wailing, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth nonchalantly.

He had to fight quickly and get rid of this guy before his accomplices came back. Lucci quickly pulled the knife out of the ground, then temporarily transferred the damage to his chest, rushed towards Teach quickly, and swung the sword in his hand again to launch a fierce attack on Teach.

After a few rounds, Lucci could feel that he did not really inflict any serious damage to Teach. Although Teach screamed miserably, his dodging and counterattacking movements were still fast. Lucci frowned, and suddenly thought that except for the initial display of Teach's fruit ability, his subsequent moves did not use his fruit ability at all.

At this moment, he felt a bullet coming towards his head from a distance. He immediately turned around, twisted the blade, and slashed in the direction of the bullet. The bullet that was about to fly over was split in half and flew to both sides, causing a huge explosion. The slash that split the bullet did not stop, but continued to attack the sniper who shot the bullet.

Oka looked at the attack that was about to reach him in shock, and quickly rolled to the side, barely avoiding the fierce blow. He was almost cut in half. Oka looked at the crack on the ground with lingering fear, and then his expression became fierce. He quickly took out the two bullets at the back of the magazine and put the only two seastone bullets in. No matter how strong you are, the seastone bullets can't be split in half. Oka looked at the gun in his hand with a smug smile on his face.

"Captain! Are you okay?" Badgers rushed out from the forest and helped Blackbeard up. Poison Q followed closely behind and quickly sprinkled a powder on Blackbeard. They had just run a little far and did not return until Blackbeard's acupuncture points stopped.

"Don't do it!" Blackbeard covered his wounded chest and stood up from the ground with the help of Buggy. "You are no match for him, Oka, go find Straw Hat Boy first."

"Understood." Oka instantly left the spot and ran towards the forest.

"Our battle isn't over yet!!" Lucci quickly chased after Oka who was running towards the forest not far away. Just when he was about to kill him, Blackbeard behind him suddenly stretched out his hand to him.

"Dark Water!!"

At the same time, Oka in front of him also raised his sniper rifle, turned around and shot at his chest. Lucci wanted to dodge, but he found that his body was completely frozen in place. In that instant, he missed the opportunity to use the power of the fruit to dodge, and could only watch the bullet hit his chest.

At the same time, he felt as if his body was grabbed by an invisible hand, and he was retreating uncontrollably, flying straight towards Teach. At the moment of approaching, Lucci endured the severe pain in his chest, twisted his body forcefully, and slashed at Teach with the knife in his hand.

Although Lucci's shoulder was caught by Teach, he had already chopped down at him with his knife the moment he was caught. It was also at this moment that Blackbeard clenched his fist and hit Lucci's head with all his strength. Instantly, a large amount of blood spurted out of Lucci's mouth, and the mask on his face was also knocked off by this blow. His body hit the tree heavily, and a large number of trees were knocked down in an instant.

"Ah! It hurts so much!" Teach covered his shoulder which was bleeding madly and kept screaming "Badgers!"

Badges exerted force with his feet and stomped hard on the ground. The soil on the ground sank in an instant. The next second, he disappeared from his original position and rushed towards the direction where Lucci flew.

"Cough cough cough!" Lucci lay on the ground, supporting himself with a knife, and stumbled to his feet. He felt everything around him was blurry and there was a constant buzzing sound in his ears. He covered his head with his hands, a look of pain on his face. At this moment, a desperate scream suddenly broke through his dizzy head and entered his ears.

"Lucci!!!"

"What..." Lucci struggled to half open his eyes, his vision was blurry, he could only see a blurry red and blue mixture of objects flying past him.

……

After coming out of Mogu Town, Luffy was rushing back with a bag of gold on his back. Nami told him that he must go back when the sun comes out, otherwise he would not be able to go to Sky Island. Thinking of what Nami said, Luffy hurriedly sped up, he must go to Sky Island.

At this moment, a powerful slash attracted his attention. He hurriedly stabilized his body that was about to fall due to distraction, and turned to look in the direction of the slash. Luffy frowned. It seemed to be the direction he just came from. More importantly, why did he have a strange feeling, a strange feeling of uneasiness? Luffy rubbed his chest uncomfortably, trying to erase the feeling, but failed.

After hesitating for a while, Luffy decided to go and take a look. It was not dawn yet and they still had time. While thinking, Luffy quickly rushed into the jungle and ran towards the direction of the noise.
