One Piece: My Infinity Gauntlet!
Chapter 88 - 88 - Invitation!

The flames rose up into the sky!

It was impossible to cover up a big explosion of this scale, and Will, who had regrouped into a human form from the fine sand not far away, simply stopped using the power of the Silent Fruit to clean up the mess and stood there quietly waiting for the smoke to dissipate.

Not 'seeing' the natural overflow of the Devil Fruit's energy was proof that Lucci was still alive!

What a stubborn guy...

Will is now more or less convinced that Lucci's potential is by no means uncommon. If he is given enough time to grow up, maybe CP9, the title of the strongest in 800 years, is not just a figure of speech.

After 5 years of wasting time (undercover), he was able to increase his strength dramatically in just 2 years, and was able to briefly fight Sabo, who had gotten the flare devil fruit, with only a common zoan devil fruit (suspected awakening) and the development of the six styles without losing a single battle, and even dared to open his mouth to reprimand Akainu, who had become a Fleet Admiral at that time!

This kind of talent is really terrifying!

Will subconsciously stroked the Infinity Gauntlet on his right hand, without this golden finger, how could he have defeated these powerful opponents so easily. .

And there were even more and more powerful 'monsters' waiting for him to pick them off one by one!

"Ahem..."

When the smoke finally cleared, Will was able to see what was going on inside.

If he had run away with the full force using shave, Lucci would have had the ability to escape from the blast range before taking more damage.

But he didn't!

Instead, he paid the price of heavier injuries and an arm to protect the unconscious Kalifa and Kaku who used himself as a'meat shield' to block Kalifa under his body at the last minute!

"As the government's secret spy agency, shouldn't abandoning your fellow man be something that's taken lightly?"

Facing the already half-crippled Lucci, Will rarely showed a serious expression.

No matter how twisted his outlook on life was, what kind of dark justice he believed in, and how many innocent people he had killed, at least at this moment his belief that he would die to protect his companions made Will feel deeply touched!

After hearing Will's question, Lucci first uncontrollably vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and then stared at Will with fierce eyes.

The solidarity and friendship among the CP9 members was not something he, an outsider, could understand!

Naturally, Lucci's temperament wouldn't explain much on such matters, all he could think about was how to kill the enemy in front of him and get out of here alive with Kaku and Khalifa!

But in the face of an enemy who has multiple devil fruit abilities, what should he do to achieve his goal with such a severely injured body?

Will's eyes actually showed a momentary blankness...

In this silent and heavy atmosphere, Will suddenly said.

"Any interest in joining me? It just so happens that my ship is still lacking a fighter, at any rate, anyway, I am also the captain, and I personally take actions no matter what happens."

Lucci's fierce expression froze for a moment, then scoffed and said, "Are you trying to recruit me? Don't you know who we are?"

"Is CP9 that amazing? Or being a dog for the World Government and World Noble made you feel superior?" Will's tone was clearly more sarcastic

Their identity was indeed revealed, what exactly had gone wrong...

Already in a life-and-death crisis, Lucci is still wondering where the problem lies, without even considering Will's words, the world government's means of training and brainwashing their agents is really worth learning from!

"Anyway, it's still a dog for others, is there a difference?"

"Dream on!"

"I thought you would fake a false agreement with me first, and then try to turn the tables or escape, but I didn't expect you to reject it so simply."

Will was not at all angry at being rejected, the invitation was originally a whim.

After being defeated by Luffy, all the members of CP-9 were almost killed by the pursuing world government, and even then the final result was that Lucci and the others returned to the world government without thinking of becoming pirates or simply joining the revolutionary army.

Lucci's unwavering silence eliminated Will's last patience, and this matter has nothing to do with justice or position, but simply Will's desire to get Blueno's Devil Fruit ability.

Benefits can turn anyone into an enemy!

This is also a phrase that Will's father often talked about, and Will remembered it clearly, but he was always naively looking for an 'exception'.

It's a pity that there are so few exceptions on earth that he couldn't replace it, so he had a lot of troubles.

Perhaps in this world, he could replace something even more important than benefits to move people.

With a sigh, Will's left arm turned into a three-meter-long desert machete.

Although he had to negotiate a deal with the world government afterwards, it was enough to leave one alive.

Although he didn't like Lucci's devil fruit, it was good as an energy reinforcement, no matter what kind of devil fruit he had, there was no such thing as waste!

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Will was about to take action, Kalifa, who had lost consciousness in the first wave of the explosion, finally woke up.

Kaku, who had fallen next to her, and Lucci, who was in front of her...

Looking at their gruesome wounds, and at the demon-like enemies in front of them, Kalifa knew that if she didn't do something, they would all die!

"I don't know how our identities were exposed, and you probably won't answer, but I know why you killed Blueno!"

"The fruit of the door... You've got it already!"

Kalifa stood up shakily, wiping the blood from her face while taking a desperate gamble!

"Should I say you're dedicated or stupid for trying to get information even in this situation?"

Although Will had read Kalifa's story on the Internet before coming to the Pirate World, he didn't feel bad about this woman, but he knew exactly what kind of woman he couldn't touch.

In the past, he was frustrated, which is why he lived the life of a playboy who did nothing but wait for death and pick up girls every day, but after rediscovering his motivation, he has a higher pursuit.

He will not kneel down to lick and fall on his knees when he sees a beautiful woman, and if he can be merciless in the face of Hina's siege, this moment is no exception.

The sharp desert machete came whistling down!

Lucci himself could have avoided it, but after a quick glance at the unsteady Kalifa, Lucci's eyes glowed with a fierce light, and he was actually using the iron body with all his might, ready to take the blow!

"DO YOU WANT MORE DEVIL FRUIT!"

Kalifa shouted with all her might!
