One Piece Law Light Novel

Chapter 29: Chapter 2



Laughter repeats it once again. There is no treasure on this island, Wolf murmurs in a thin, almost tired voice. Because Captain Ladoga's letter is real! We are talking about a pirate whose bounty was considerable. Not the type to tell stories in a letter having at least as much value as a will!

- I'll tell you otherwise. The treasure has already disappeared.

-What do you mean?

For the very first time, Bacca hints at a hint of concern.

- Tell me, Bacca, do you know at least how we got to this temple?

- Eh? Yeah, you popped out of the water aboard your funny submarine. It made a thunderous noise, normal that I bothered to take a look.

- Launch at full speed, this submarine can break the ground. To make such a strong machine, I needed extremely strong metal, and a lot of it.

- What are you trying to tell me?

- To sum up, this submarine was designed using rock-solid metal. And given its size, I must have gathered a lot.

- What are you talking to me about? I asked you a question!

- I come to the problem. Even you, you must know that it is not easy to get your hands on so much metal. And I am neither from the nobility, nor become extremely rich during these last years. So how do you think I got all this stuff?

- You ... No!

- Yes, Bacca, things have certainly unfolded as you suspect. Captain Ladoga's treasure did exist ... but several decades ago! And I found it!

- That...

- That was a nice sum. Thanks to this money, I put the city you destroyed back on its feet and built this submarine. I also moved away from the life of misery that I led before. So you see? In the end, I put it to good use. Ha ha ha!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room becomes so freezing that I wonder if the temperature has not suddenly dropped. Bacca said nothing more. He is like an envelope of pure anger and murderous desires which are just as much.

Two seconds, three seconds.

After staring at us with hostility, he directs his gaze to the ground and sighs deeply.

- Phew ... I see, yes, I see. It's the game, after all. A treasure always goes to the first to find it. Ha ha, you had me well on that one ... If only I had known that my father would take me by surprise ... I would have made sure to eliminate you the day you had announces that you are leaving the boat …

He pronounces this word as if he had given up something. However, the powerful evil aura he exudes does not weaken.

- But hey, at least it has the merit of simplifying things.

Bacca's gaze turns to us again.

- I am not discouraged so far. I'll just have to dismantle the submarine and sell all the metal in it. Only the procedure changes ... But to achieve it, yes ... I must liquidate you all here!

I see Bacca's hands disappear behind his back ... to emerge with each a giant mass.

- No need to beg me to spare you, it's too late for me to forgive you ... I'm going to crush you, crush you! Prepare for a terrible death! he cries out.

- Law, he's coming!

- Yes!

In perfect coordination with Wolf's voice, I put myself in a fighting stance. Serious things will start.

- I'm going to end it once and for all making you my puppets! Fusion wave!

From Bacca's eyes escapes a ray of pale color that we don't even bother to avoid.

Although he touches us head-on, we remain unmoved.

- Heiiin ?!

- What did you think? I have taken the necessary measures against your wave of fusion for a while! It no longer has any effect on us.

- Oh oh! I don't know how you did this, but I can see that you prepared yourself well. Which, in itself, is not very serious, because even without my wave of fusion, I cannot lose against you! I'll tear you to pieces with the help of my masses!

In doing so, Bacca waves his arms in our direction several times.

Wolf and I somehow manage to dodge his assaults.

He's not the same man he was in our fight in town. His blows are so heavy that just one of them would be enough to smash our skeleton to pieces.

- Ghe pa!

Its masses smash the ground right next to me. I take advantage of the brief moment when the assaults stop raining to kick him against. However...

- Trocadero!

In the blink of an eye, Bacca's body liquefies. My hit does not inflict any damage on it, as if I had just hit in the water.

- Ghe pa pa! You didn't learn the lesson, kid! You should know though that your attacks can't hurt me, right? I'm going to break your skull without you being able to react!

And shit! This fight is anything but fair. He will equalize us, and as soon as we can no longer avoid his blows, it will be the end of us. It is completely absurd.

- Law, over here!

Wolf grabs my arm and pulls me forcibly towards him.

- What's going on, Mister Junk? Running away won't help matters.

- I know it. But I did not embark on this story without planning anything.

- If you have a plan, let me know right away.

- You're going to get away from Bacca. For my part, I will run in all directions while waiting for an opportunity to present itself. At that precise moment, you will attack him with the blade that I gave you.

- To do what? You saw that my blows did not reach him.

- Have a little confidence in the genius that I am! Everything will be fine. With this sword, you can be sure to touch him, believe me. With that, I'm counting on you.

- Understood!

Wolf stops moving and rushes towards his son without further delay.

As for me, I observe the weapon in my hands. This is a perfectly ordinary blade with a classic handle. No apparent curve, the blade runs straight over its entire length. How would it make sense to pounce on Baca with this sword?

I have no idea, but I have complete confidence in Wolf.

He told me he would create the opportunity. That if I took the opportunity to touch him, he would mope. In this case, I just have to wait. And to leave it to him.

- Take this!

Bacca utters a cry. One of its masses hits Wolf's abdomen head-on, but Wolf does not waver. He takes the hit and gives me a look that means, "It's now or never."

I check that Bacca is not directing his attention towards me and as I rush towards him.

- Law! Push the button on the handle!

Similar to a howl, Wolf's voice echoes throughout the room. Hearing it, my body reacts naturally.

With my thumb, I press the button, raise the sword above my head, and slaughter it on Bacca. I don't feel any resistance. I just feel like I swung my sword in the water. However...

- Aaah! suddenly shouts Bacca.

It is certainly proof that he is in pain. But why? I wonder while observing my saber. The blade is as though enveloped in lightning. and I hear a crackle.

- What is that? a liquefied Bacca wonders in a surprised voice.

No doubt he was touched. Now is he mistrusting me? Still, he folds up with a leap to put some distance between us.

- Law! This saber is a work of my genius, its name is "hyper electro sword"! By putting this button on, the blade is adorned with electricity! It can thus affect Bacca, even in its liquid form!
