【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 272 Slow Light Wave

Foxy looked at the knife on his neck in horror, swallowed, and made gestures ready to release light waves at any time. Where did this person come from? He was nothing like the naive guys in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Lucci!"

Lucci turned his head to the direction of the sound and saw Luffy coming with the rest of the crew.

"Now!" Foxy took advantage of the moment when Lucci turned his head and quickly raised his hands and pointed them at him, "Slow Light Wave!!"

"Be careful!!" Nami noticed that Foxy made a strange gesture to Lucci.

Hearing the sound, Lucci subconsciously blocked the knife in his hand in front of him and stepped back. Although he did not feel threatened, it was better to be careful. He didn't know what this guy's trump card was.

"Huh?" Lucci looked at the Foxy pirate opposite him who suddenly stopped completely in confusion. The three of them were still in an attacking posture.

Seeing Lucci's defensive action, Luffy hurried over and asked worriedly, "Lucci, are you okay?"

"Is everyone okay?" Chopper asked worriedly, looking at Lucci, Nami and the others.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lucci shook his head.

Luffy looked at the motionless head and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Hearing Luffy's question, Nami and Usopp reacted instantly. Nami told what she had just seen, "This guy just released a strange light wave at Lucci, and then the light wave was reflected back by Lucci's sword light."

"Yes, this is my slow light wave!" Foxy, who had returned to normal, just happened to hear Nami's words, and immediately boasted proudly, "This is a particle that has not yet been known to the world! As long as it is covered by this light, whether it is a living thing, liquid, or gas... everything that touches it will slow down!"

"No wonder this guy is so confident in this kind of game." Qi suddenly realized, "So this is his trump card, to catch the opponent off guard and freeze him at the critical moment of victory."

"If this guy uses this trick in the next two games, it will be troublesome!" Usopp said worriedly, "This may allow him to succeed..."

"How despicable! You're spoiling the show!" Luffy shouted in dissatisfaction with his lips pouted.

"You said it again..." After hearing Luffy's words, Foxy lay on the ground dejectedly.

"But we already know this, and this is a good thing." Lucci smiled as he looked at the smooth blade in his hand, and casually put the knife back into the sheath.

"So you wanted to use this light wave to stop Miss Nami and the others from winning the game?" Sanji reacted immediately and stared at Foxy with a dark face. "How dare you use this move on Miss Nami? It's unforgivable!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"Hehehe! The boss got beaten so badly!" Hamburger looked at the boss lying on the grass with bruises on his face from Sanji's beating, and laughed secretly with his hand covering his mouth.

"Hey, Hamburger, stop laughing!" Porche puffed up her cheeks and said dissatisfiedly, "You beat up the boss and broke the pirate rules!"

"There's no such clause in the rules." Robin said with a smile, "And the game is over, which means it's not the competition stage now!"

Nami secretly gave Robin a thumbs up.

"There is indeed no such rule. Now, the winner is invited to choose a crew member from the other pirate group! Who will be picked by the Straw Hat Pirates!!" The host confirmed Robin's words, and then continued to broadcast, "Of course, the winner also has the right to take away the pirate flag of the Foxy Pirates!"

“They were targeting me from the beginning.

"Hey, I'm not mentally prepared yet."

"Oh no, they're looking at me! It must be me!"

The Foxy pirates were nervous on their own, and were very confident that they would be chosen.

In fact, Luffy was indeed thinking, but he was not considering who to choose, but was struggling with whether to choose. He didn't want anyone from the Foxy Pirates at all.

Lucci was surprised to see Luffy put his finger on his forehead, and his face became redder as he thought. Although it looked cute, he didn't want Luffy to fall into a fever due to excessive thinking, so he patted the brim of Luffy's hat and reminded him, "You don't have to choose a crew member, you can also choose an object, such as a flag or a ship."

"Souga!" Luffy suddenly realized and shouted with a bright smile, "Then, I want to..."

"Wait, Luffy!" Nami waved her hand to interrupt Luffy's next words, motioning for everyone to gather around, and said softly, "There are still two games left. As long as we win the next one, we don't have to play the third one. The boss's ability is very strange and troublesome. As long as we choose the boss, he won't be able to interfere with our next game. In this way, we will definitely win, and there is naturally no need to play the third game."

"This is indeed a safe way!" Usopp nodded, "I agree with Nami's proposal!"

"Wow!! This is unbelievable!" After hearing Nami's proposal, the Foxy Pirates began to talk and condemn the meanness of Nami's proposal.

"Someone actually made such a devilish suggestion! She is simply a member of a cult... the navigator named Nami!!"

"No one has ever done this in all the previous David battles. Even if there was such an idea, no one would actually bring it up and implement it!!"

"I want to ask everyone! Is it glorious to win without fighting? "

"NO!!"

"NO!!"

"NO!!"

Gripping the hilt and pulling the knife out a few inches, Lucci frowned and looked at the group of annoying pirates. He didn't like despicable pirates, especially such insidious and cunning ones. "Shut up! You are noisy!!"

"Sorry!!" The Foxy pirates immediately apologized in fear when they saw the cold blade behind Lucci. They had all seen them beat up Boss Foxy, and finally realized that they were also real pirates and would take action if they were annoyed.

"This method can indeed end the game quickly." Qi looked at the group of Foxy pirates who finally quieted down and huddled together in fear, and said with a smile, "But this also means that we have to become partners with that troublemaker."

"No, we would rather die than have him." Luffy, Sanji, Zoro and Usopp immediately waved their hands in disgust.

Hearing their disgusted words, Foxy lay dejectedly on the ground, and the crew members around him kept comforting him and trying to cheer him up.

"No matter what, the decision of the game lies with the winning captain, the Straw Hat Boy, so what will he choose?" The host still enthusiastically drew everyone's attention back on track, "Let's wait and see!"

"Then... take out all the food on your ship!!" Luffy grinned.

Everyone looked at Luffy in shock.

"It's just like you, Luffy!" Qi covered his face helplessly.

"I thought you would want their pirate flag!" Lucci chuckled.

"The Pirate Flag is an important symbol of being a pirate." Luffy showed a bright smile on his face. "I will make a choice after I defeat them completely."
