Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

Lucas accepted the red envelope from Whitebeard, feeling the surge of power course through his veins. He turned toward the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates and addressed them with a commanding tone.

"Do you still have the strength to fight? If so, keep the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates busy for me. If not, retreat now and don't become a liability."

Phoenix Marco sneered, a confident smirk on his face. "Don't worry! If there's one thing we can still do, it's keeping those bastards occupied."

Despite the questions swirling in his mind, Marco knew this wasn't the time for hesitation. There would be time for answers later—right now, action was all that mattered. Without wasting another second, he signaled his crewmate to take action.

Blackbeard scowled, irritation flashing across his face. "No way? Even if you decline my offer, is there really a need to fight? Zehahaha! Can't we just live in peace?"

Lucas' response was cold and unwavering. He raised his palm, fingers curling into a fist, as a shimmering white halo appeared around it. A smirk played on his lips.

"No. An old man named Whitebeard said he misses you dearly. I figured I'd do him a favor and send you to meet him."

With those words, Lucas' fist shot forward. The air around them cracked apart as raw seismic power tore through the atmosphere.

Blackbeard's expression twisted into a grimace as he threw a punch of his own. The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit exploded from his fist, meeting Lucas' attack head-on. The moment their blows collided, the earth beneath them shattered violently.

"Don't underestimate me! I'm a Pirate Emperor now!"

Blackbeard roared, his aura surging as darkness pooled at his feet, creeping outward like an all-consuming void. The inky mass surged toward Lucas, seeking to swallow him whole.

Lucas, however, simply floated into the air, completely unaffected by the darkness below.

"Absorb!"

Blackbeard gritted his teeth, pouring more energy into the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability. The pull of gravity intensified, attempting to drag Lucas back down.

Lucas only chuckled. "Sun or darkness? Let's see which is stronger."

Orange flames erupted from his body, colliding with the encroaching darkness. The inferno surged forward, burning away the black mist as if it were nothing but smoke.

Blackbeard's eyes widened in shock. "Zehahaha! I never expected you to have a third Devil Fruit ability. Isn't this Captain Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit?"

His lips curled into a grin, his arrogance undeterred. "What a pity that I never got to make Captain Ace my partner. But don't worry—after I kill you, I'll find a new user for the Flame-Flame Fruit. That way, it'll be like Ace and I were partners all along."

Lucas' expression darkened. His eyes gleamed with disdain.

"You're disgusting."

His voice carried pure contempt.

"Pirate Emperor? If you're considered an Emperor, then you must be the weakest, most disgraceful one in history."

The weight of his words seemed to press down on everyone present.

"Marineford. You cried like a coward when Whitebeard nearly crushed you. Impel Down. You were instantly defeated by Magellan. You spent decades groveling, stealing, and running like a rat in the shadows. For years, you weren't even a captain—just another lackey. You've spent your whole life licking someone else's boots. So tell me, Blackbeard, can you be any more shameful?"

The chat group fell silent.

Pirate King Roger: "Wait, is all of this true?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Roger, you idiot! You think he's lying? If he was making things up, Teach would be the first to deny it!"

Fire Fist Ace: "Dad, is it true that Teach called you 'Father' after you beat him at Marineford?!"

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! It's true. I nearly crushed him back then. If my body had held out just a little longer, he wouldn't be standing here today."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Damn, Whitebeard. What do you mean by that?"

Lucas: "He was down to his last drop of blood, barely able to stand."

Pirate King Roger: "Wait, hold on. Whitebeard was dying and still nearly killed Teach? That's just embarrassing."

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! It's not that Teach is weak—it's that I am too strong."

Then, an unexpected topic surfaced in the chat.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Now that I think about it, have any of the other Four Emperors done anything as embarrassing as Teach?"

Lucas: "Yes! For example, our rising star, Red-Haired Shanks. You know he lost an arm, right? And it was his dominant arm—the one he used to wield his sword."

Whitebeard: "I asked him about that once. He said he bet his arm on the new era. He even gave his straw hat to Straw Hat Luffy, but I never found out exactly how he lost it."

Lucas: "A sea beast bit it off. That sea beast was so powerful that when Luffy set out to sea, he defeated it with a single punch."

Pirate King Roger: "..."

Golden Lion Shiki: "..."

Fire Fist Ace: "..."

Whitebeard: "..."

The chat group went dead silent.

For a moment, no one knew what to say.

Then, Whitebeard let out a deep, rumbling laugh.

"Gurarara! Well, well… turns out Shanks is even more shameful than Blackbeard."
