Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

Lucas and Ain clashed fiercely, swords ringing as sparks flew from each exchange. Unlike his previous opponents, Ain was strong enough for him to sharpen his skills against her.

Had she been too weak, he wouldn't have wasted his time—but since she had real ability, he saw no harm in extending the fight.

Clang!

Lucas swung his sword with precision, and Ain's sword flew from her grasp, spinning through the air before clattering to the ground.

Ain didn't panic.

Instead, she reached into her uniform, drew two pistols, and fired at Lucas without hesitation.

Lucas reacted instantly—casually swinging his sword, slicing through the bullets mid-air, then charging forward.

With a swift, controlled motion, he twisted his sword—disarming her again, sending both pistols flying from her hands.

Ain's expression hardened. With no weapons left, she immediately activated Six Powers, her body vanishing in a blur as she used Shave to reposition herself.

But Lucas was faster.

He closed the gap instantly, forcing her back with a series of well-placed strikes, each one just barely missing vital spots.

She had no room to counterattack.

"I need to retreat!" In desperation, Ain waved her hand, releasing a pink energy blast from her palm—a bright, unnatural glow heading straight for Lucas.

But he simply dodged it with ease, barely acknowledging the attack.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Who trained this girl? They've completely misled her!"

Pirate King Roger: "That's what I was thinking! She has too many skills—Six Powers, swordsmanship, firearms, Devil Fruit abilities—but none of them are truly refined. It's better to master one thing than to be mediocre at everything."

Lucas: "Her teacher is Black Arm Zephyr."

Whitebeard: "Zephyr? That old man? That doesn't sound right. Zephyr understands the importance of specialization—why would he let his disciple become so scattered?"

Lucas: "I'll ask her."

As he dodged Ain's next attack, he smirked and said, "Why are you learning so many skills? If you focused only on swordsmanship, you could probably become a Great Swordsman by now."

"With that kind of strength, you'd be way stronger than you are now."

Ain scoffed, her breathing heavy but her gaze sharp. "Naïve. Do you think reaching the level of a Great Swordsman is that easy?

"Everyone has limits—bottlenecks they can't surpass. I hit mine, so I branched out into other areas to improve myself."

Lucas paused, considering her words.

In the chat group—

Lucas: "Did you all hear that?"

Whitebeard: "There's a bottleneck between a Swordsman and a Great Swordsman?"

Pirate King Roger: "I never felt it."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Same."

Fisher Tiger: "So you're all monsters. This really proves that talent is everything."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Hahaha! Nothing we can do about it. Talent is unfair—just like Conqueror's Haki, some people are simply born different."

Lucas: "Yeah! Look at you, Golden Lion. You use your feet to wield swords, yet your swordsmanship is still at the Advance level.

"You could easily crush Straw Hat Luffy one-handed—if you hadn't been struck by a random bolt of lightning, you'd be ruling the world by now."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Now that's the kind of truth I like to hear!"

Lucas: "The story of Golden Lion Shiki teaches us a valuable lesson—don't be pretentious, or you'll be struck by lightning."

Golden Lion Shiki: "…"

Lucas: "Also, another important lesson—don't stand on high places on cloudy days."

Golden Lion Shiki: "…"

Pirate King Roger: "Hahahaha! That reminds me of something—Shiki, you said you got struck by lightning and then lost to Straw Hat Luffy, right?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Yeah! What about it?"

Pirate King Roger: "Well, if you got struck by lightning, and you were fighting Luffy… why didn't Luffy get struck, too?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "…He was hit. But he was fine. I think it has something to do with his Devil Fruit. He's a Rubber Man, so he's insulated."

Pirate King Roger: "Wait, is that true?"

Fire Fist Ace: "Yeah. Luffy ate the Paramecia Rubber-Rubber Fruit, so his body is literally made of rubber. He's naturally immune to electricity."

Lucas: "It's not just a theory—it's a fact.

"Straw Hat Luffy once fought against a Lightning Devil Fruit user—a guy who could generate 200 million volts of electricity. Luffy got zapped repeatedly, but he wasn't hurt at all."

Golden Lion Shiki: "200 million volts?! That kind of electricity should be enough to melt rubber!"

Lucas: "But it didn't. That's the power of Devil Fruit logic! Rubber is an insulator, so as long as he's a rubber man, lightning can't hurt him—no matter how strong it is."

As Lucas continued dodging Ain's pink energy blasts, he effortlessly carried on the conversation in the chat group.

Pirate King Roger: "Speaking of which—what's with that pink energy she keeps using? You seem to be avoiding it pretty seriously."

Lucas: "That's because it's the Return-Return Fruit's (Modo-Modo no Mi) ability. If I get hit by it, my body will be forcibly reverted to how it was twelve years ago."

Lucas: "And that's not something I can block. It's a fixed-effect ability, not a physical attack."

Despite Ain's persistent attempts, Lucas dodged every single blast, closing the distance between them with rapid footwork.

Then, in one swift motion, he slid behind her, bringing his sword up to her neck.

"You lose."

Ain's breath hitched. For a moment, she hesitated—then sighed in defeat, reluctantly nodding.

In the distance, Zephyr's eyes sparkled as he watched the fight unfold.

"This kid is good," Zephyr muttered, stroking his chin. "I've decided—I'll personally train him!"

Beside him, Garp bit into another donut, shaking his head.

"Forget it, Z," Garp said casually. "Stick to hunting pirates. I'm the one responsible for training the new recruits now!"
