Chapter 433 He Needs to Wash Off



Chapter 433 He Needs to Wash Off

He missed Luffy when he was a child. At that time, he would follow him obediently and let him protect him. No matter how much he denied it, he still missed Luffy by 10 years. He no longer understood him, and he could no longer protect him like he did when he was a child. He would no longer have only his brother. Luffy was right. He now had dreams and crew members to take care of him. He no longer needed him to stay by his side. His worries would only become a burden to Luffy.

Lucci pursed his lips as he looked at his blood-stained clothes. He needed to wash them cleanly.

Burying his body in the clear water, Lucci clearly felt the weakness and heaviness of his whole body. He closed his eyes and felt the tranquility of this moment. At this moment, he didn't think of anything, it was just a blank. Just as he was immersed in this moment of tranquility, the click of a trigger suddenly rang out.

Lucci opened his eyes and frowned at the figure floating on the water. What bad luck! "I didn't know there would be a navy garrison in such a dangerous forest?"

"Just stay there and put your hands up."

"What a surprise." Lucci turned around and looked expressionlessly at the young man in a naval lieutenant's uniform standing at the edge of the shallow lake. He was accompanied by two naval soldiers who were pointing guns at him.

Lucci stared at the exquisitely shaped pistol in the lieutenant's hand. He instinctively became wary of the weapon, and the hair on the back of his neck stood up, but he was not overly worried. He glanced around and saw that there were only three of them. His knife was under a tree on the other side. "What are you doing in a forest like this? Are you in trouble?"

"I know you. You're Lucci, the Dragon's Son who escaped from Impel Down, as advertised in the latest newspaper."

"Is my name so famous now?" Lucci's muscles tensed, a smile forced on his face. "You should have let me out of the water before asking for my information."

"I know you have special abilities." The lieutenant's eyes were burning with anger. "You'd better not move. The guns in our hands are not for playing with."

"Okay, what do you want to ask?" Lucci rested his hands on the shore leisurely. "Or do you want to handcuff me first?"

"Where are the other prisoners who escaped with you?"

"What? You want to catch them all in one fell swoop? Are you sure you have the ability to do so?" Lucci raised his eyebrows.

The lieutenant was clearly dissatisfied with this leisurely and disregarding attitude. He raised the barrel of his gun and squinted his eyes. "Dragon's son Lucci, you are under arrest for piracy and the murder of the warden of Impel Down."

"Wow, you think I'd let some nobody arrest me?" Lucci tilted his head. "What are you going to do with that thing? Shoot?"

"You better not piss me off!"

"Shoot if you can." Lucci's face was calm. He turned his head to look at the woods on the other side, then turned back. The moment he turned his head to face the navy, a gunshot rang out. Feeling the sting on his cheek, warm blood flowed down his facial contours to his jaw. Lucci blinked, thinking of the scent of the bullet just now. "Seastone bullet?"

The ensign narrowed his eyes complacently, looking at the bloodstain on the dragon's cheek opposite him, and smiled complacently, "This is a warning. I don't want to kill you. If you force me, I will shoot."

"Oh, I see. Okay." Lucci nodded and stood up from the water. "Please let me get dressed. I'll go with you."

"It's best not to make any unnecessary movements. My gun is loaded with seastone bullets, specially trained to deal with people with special abilities like you." The lieutenant sneered, "Your abilities are useless here."

"Really? That's impressive, but I still don't understand why you're here." Lucci asked confusedly as he put on his coat.

"This is none of your business!" The navy's cheeks turned red in anger.

"Are you in trouble?" Lucci grinned. "How can you arrest me then? Why not let me go?"

"Shut up!" The Marine pulled the trigger angrily. "We don't have seastone handcuffs, so you'll have to suffer a little."

"You guys are so boring, shooting at the first sign of disagreement." Lucci looked down at the seastone bullet that had hit his abdomen, but didn't take it too seriously. Although it was a bit painful and weak, it wasn't serious enough to make him lose his ability to move immediately. "But your aim is terrible."

"Shut up! There's nothing good to say to criminals like you!" The navy shouted angrily, raised the pistol in his hand again, and threatened, "And don't provoke me, otherwise I won't mind making you suffer more!"

"Okay, okay, I'm a little bored." Lucci snapped his fingers and looked at the lieutenant opposite him and said casually, "It's time to end it!"

The next second he rushed to the side of the Navy Lieutenant. After a terrible scream, the pistol in the Marine's hand fell to the ground. Lucci didn't give him a chance to react and kicked him away. The other two Marines were knocked down before they could react. Lucci pressed the wound on his abdomen with one hand and casually picked up the seastone pistol on the ground. "I'll take this. Bye."

As Lucci left, he glanced at the face reflected in the lake. He looked terrible, with a pale complexion and dull eyes, as if he would collapse at any moment. After a moment's silence, he casually cleaned the wound, then scooped up a handful of cold lake water and splashed it on his face, but it was completely useless. He tried to put on a smile... It was so ugly. Lucci immediately turned around and went to the tree where the knife was placed, picked up the knife and left, no longer caring about the marine lying on the ground.

I don't know whether to say they are brave or what. They were in trouble but still wanted to arrest the criminal. Sure enough, not long after they walked, he sensed Ace's breath again. That terrible face flashed through Lucci's mind. Suddenly, he didn't want to see Ace anymore. Then let's not see him for the time being. Lucci thought so, then turned and walked towards the forest on the other side, while quickly reducing his presence.

The smell of this forest gave him a long-lost sense of familiarity. Perhaps he was suitable to live in this kind of jungle, alone. After all, he had long been accustomed to this lifestyle, and he liked the smell here.

But it seemed to be getting dark soon, and he needed to find a place to sleep. Maybe there was a tree hole that was suitable for him. It had been a long time since he had done this. He should find time to visit his mentor. The last time he saw him was two years ago. He should also tell him that he had recovered his memory. He should also go back to the island where he had been training since he was a child to take a look. He wondered if the animals had grown bigger and maybe become more delicious. He also wondered if Rayleigh had drunk up all the wine and the like. But it didn't matter if he drank it all, as long as there were still those plants on the island.

……

"Lucci!" Ace ran quickly in the forest, trying to find a familiar figure, but there was nothing here. On the other side, there were many corpses of scorpion-tailed lions. It looked like the attack was done by Lucci, but he didn't find anyone there. Two gunshots were heard here just now, so he chased after him. For a while, he did sense Lucci's breath, but it disappeared in an instant, and he never sensed it again.
