One Piece Law Light Novel

Let's put the choice of the name aside, and recognize that this is exactly the asset we needed. No need to slice it or seal it with blows. He will feel the pain, whether it is solid or liquid. I just have to inflict a few powerful electric shocks to him to finish a good deal for all with him!

- Definitely, Mister Junk, you will never cease to amaze me.

While he retreats a little more, Bacca observes us behind the scenes. It's now or never!

- Room!

Without any hesitation, I use my scalpel fruit powers. An imposing dome covers the area, which has now become my territory.

- Argh ... You too have the powers of a devil fruit!

Too late.

- Shambles!

The pieces of a collapsed marble pillar lie right in the direction in which it retreats. I immediately inverted my position and that of the pillar.

- That...

Teleportation.

Impossible for the pirate to understand how I was able to cross so suddenly the distance which separated us to find myself behind his back.

- Done!

With speed, precision and accuracy, I slaughter the electrified blade of my saber on him, as if I were going to slice him in half.

- Gwaaah!

Bacca's body is seized with convulsions. Each of my electric shocks inflicts serious damage on him. Two hits, then three, then four. While he writhes in pain, I chain attacks without giving him time to breathe.

- Ghe pa pa pa!

Despite everything, Bacca does not collapse. As I am about to give him a fifth blow, he liquefies himself completely before running away, crawling on the ground.

- Haaa ... He hid his game well, the guy ... I expected anything but that ...

This time it's my turn to be surprised.

Looking at the way my saber lights up, we guess at first glance that it emits a powerful electric discharge. Any normally constituted person would have lost consciousness on the first attack. And yet, Bacca continues to observe us with his hostile and cruel gaze. Why does he not admit defeat? How can he keep this expression?

I am then assailed by the same sensations as during our fight in town, by the same anguish. What sets us apart is determination. It's not about right or wrong, no. Bacca is simply approaching this fight, determined not to lose. But I ... am I resolved to face the ardor of this enraged pirate?

- Raah, piss off!

Getting lost in these kinds of mistakes in the middle of the battle ... I couldn't have chosen a worse time. I bank on Bacca again and hit it several times. I start again, again and again, until he can no longer take the discharges. But nothing helps, the pirate remains standing.

He holds on, takes the pain and even finds a way to approach me with that killer gaze.

I slide. I glance at the ground and notice a puddle of water. Bacca made part of his body liquid so he could trap me!

- Damn!

- Ghe pa pa pa pa!

Its mass spins on me at full speed and I know that I am going to lose my balance. Impossible to avoid it.

- Laaaw !!

Right when the resignation begins to invade me, Wolf intervenes, takes me in his arms and leaps away. However...

- Mister Junk!

Wolf takes his son's violent assault right in the back.

- Argh ...

Blood is flowing from his mouth. His organs have probably suffered quite a shock.

- It's okay, don't worry. You too, you know very well ... that the older we get, the more robust we become.

- Stop, this is not the time to boast! Scan!

I use the powers of the scalpel fruit to examine its insides. He has a few squared dimensions and lesions on some organs, but nothing to deny him. Considering the state of his injuries, I should be able to save him.

- You went too far, Pops, you'll regret it!

But no sooner have I started first aid than Bacca rushes at me. My turn, this time, to carry Wolf and throw myself on the side to get out of his attack zone.

- Forget it, Law ... Don't even imagine treating me now ... Sorry for having become a burden ...

- Han ...

- Do not worry about me, it is not today that I will pass the weapon on the left. For you and for the others too, I will not snap so easily! Settle his account at Bacca. You can win, I know it. It is a genius who guarantees it to you.

- O ... Okay …

Nodding is the only thing I can do.

- Oh oh, so like that, the father falters first and I only have one more mouflon left to get it over with? I didn't expect it to be that easy.

Bacca splits a contemptuous smile suggesting his certain victory.

- If I were you, I would avoid smiling stupidly. I remind you that you haven't touched me once yet.

- Ghe pa! On the other hand, when it comes to having a big mouth, Monsieur is worth two adults all by himself. Come on attack me with that saber you're so proud of!

Above all, I keep my cool. Bacca is not in top form either, he is content to stand up. As long as I stay focused and don't let myself be distracted, he will have a hard time touching me with his masses. So I have the advantage. I position myself in front of him and shoot my gun down.

- Woooh!

Our paths cross. While he takes the electric discharge from my saber head-on, I avoid his blow. I can do it. If I keep attacking, I can win. I then realize that something is wrong with my right hand. The sword suddenly seems terribly light to me.

- ...

I look at him, and .. can't find the words.

The blade is gone!

- H ... How is that possible?

- Aah, I recognize that expression on your face, kid. It is that of an adversary who understands absolutely nothing about what is happening to him.

Bacca speaks to me, delighted, while I remain speechless.

- You never asked yourself how your shots hit their target a little too easily?

Indeed, since the start of our fight, something was wrong. Even when he could have avoided my attacks, he didn't bother and took them. The blade of my saber lies right there at my feet. On closer inspection, it is partly decomposed, eaten away by rust. OK, everything clears up.

- That's it, do you understand? I made it express not to dodge your blows in order to alter the resistance of your blade! As soon as I go from a solid state to a liquid state, my Trocadero power allows me to control my acidity! When you started slashing me with the saber, I knowingly increased its degree. The strength of your blade has suffered without you noticing it, until it breaks. In other words, it is only your helplessness that is causing this situation! Ghe pa pa pa!

Impossible to contradict him. If I had noticed it earlier, I might have been able to remedy it. Especially since I did not particularly lack attention. Although at one point, I was convinced I had the advantage ... I should have been wary and suspect that it was a trap.

- Phew ... It uses a lot to use all this acid ... But at least we're fixed! You will never touch me again! Now it's my turn to bomb you! Ghe pa pa pa!

Wolf passed out. As for me, I am no longer able to reach Bacca. My breathing quickens, my heart starts to beat faster and faster.
