Chapter 67: The Power of the Commandments, Shiliew's Envy
"Lucci, I now bestow upon you the Commandment of Truth!"
"From now on, anyone who lies before you will be turned to stone!"
Satan infused the Commandment of Truth into Lucci's body.
With this, the Commandment of Truth was in place.
Feeling the miraculous power of the Commandment, Lucci's eyes lit up.
"Thank you, Captain!"
Lucci knelt on one knee.
With the Commandment of Truth, he could now judge the good and evil in people's actions.
He had also gained a new ability.
This time, he had truly followed an incredible captain!
"Captain."
"What is our pirate crew's name?"
Kalifa asked.
She was curious; she had never heard of someone like Satan before.
So, was this a newly formed pirate crew?
"A pirate crew? Let's call it the Seven Deadly Sins!"
"Also, before we set sail, I need you to build a pirate ship for me."
Satan said, confirming the crew's name.
With CP9 having joined, it was time to build a ship.
"Finally, what I learned in Water 7 can be put to use!"
"Captain, you can leave it to me!"
"However, while building the ship is simple, the materials are hard to come by!"
"If possible, I hope to use the Adam Wood to build it."
Lucci suggested.
"Adam Wood, the strongest wood in the world!"
"Leave this matter to me!"
"You all rest and recuperate here. I'll make a trip to the Sabaody Archipelago."
Satan arranged.
Adam Wood was as rare as Devil Fruits.
But it would likely be at the auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Besides, it seemed he could learn to control his Conqueror's Haki at the Sabaody Archipelago, and also have CP9 learn ship coating techniques.
Just then, cries of terror came from the coast.
"The pirates are invading!"
"Run!"
The residents fled in panic.
Sure enough, pirates had landed.
In the distance, over a hundred pirates holding large swords stepped onto the island.
"Men, plunder all the treasure on this island!"
"Capture all the women and children!"
The pirates laughed wantonly and without restraint.
"Pirates?"
"Lucci, go. This is a good chance to test the effect of your 'Truth'!"
Satan looked at the unrestrained pirates with a trace of disdain.
In his eyes, unless they were the Yonko or the Warlords, no other pirates were worthy of his attention.
"Captain, Lucci's injuries haven't healed."
"Isn't this pushing him too much?"
Jabra couldn't help but say.
"It's fine. It's also a good chance for me to test the ability the captain granted me!"
Lucci gestured for everyone to be at ease and walked alone towards the pirates.
Soon, Lucci met the pirates.
"Yo, someone dares to block my path!"
"This cripple must be a fool!"
"Maybe he wants to join our pirate crew!"
The pirates saw Lucci and couldn't help but laugh loudly, mocking him without restraint.
"The Evil Wolf Pirates, bounty of fifty million!"
"Your road ends here!"
The pigeon on Lucci's shoulder spoke human words.
It was Lucci's ventriloquism; most of the time, Lucci used the pigeon as his spokesperson.
"My road ends here?"
"Brothers, did you hear that?"
The pirate captain laughed heartily.
"That's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
"With a heavily injured guy like you, do you think you can arrest me!"
"This is really pissing me off. Captain, give the order, let me kill this guy!"
A pirate roared.
He felt he was being looked down upon.
"Kill him!"
At the pirate captain's command, several pirates immediately rushed towards Lucci.
"Shave!"
Lucci used Shave and instantly disappeared from his spot.
He reappeared next to the pirate at the very front.
The next moment, Lucci grabbed the pirate's neck and said, "Have you killed people?"
The overwhelming killing intent made the pirate tremble in fear.
"Spare... spare me!"
"I haven't killed anyone!"
The pirate said in terror.
But, as his words fell, his body turned directly to stone.
"A Devil Fruit user?"
"Use your guns, quickly, use your guns!"
The pirate captain shouted.
The pirates all drew their flintlocks and fired at Lucci.
"Iron Body!"
Lucci's muscles tensed all over his body.
He used Iron Body!
Bang, bang, bang!
The bullets hit his body and fell directly to the ground.
However, from the impact of the flintlocks, Lucci couldn't help but take several steps back.
His injuries were too severe.
The bandages even began to seep blood.
"It seems your injuries need some time to heal!"
"Lucci, fall back!"
Satan and his group walked forward.
"More people?"
The pirate captain looked at Satan, his face full of anger.
"That's... the Demon King Satan with a 300 million Belly bounty!"
A pirate cried out in alarm, having recognized Satan.
"And that's Shiryu of the Rain, and Crocodile!"
"My god, why are there so many pirates with bounties over 100 million here?"
"Boss, let's retreat!"
The pirates were dumbfounded.
On such a small island, there were three pirates with bounties in the hundreds of millions?
And one of them was Satan, whose first bounty reached 300 million Belly?
"The Demon King, Satan?"
The pirate captain felt himself trembling.
"My lords, we didn't know this was your territory!"
"We'll get lost right now!"
The pirate captain turned and ran.
His pathetic appearance was a far cry from his previous arrogance.
"See, having a bounty is good!"
"It can scare away some clueless fools!"
"But, did I say you could leave?"
Satan said faintly.
His voice was soft, but it clearly reached the ears of every pirate.
It made those who had just taken a step freeze in place.
"My lord, we truly didn't mean any offense, please spare us!"
The pirates begged for mercy.
"Lucci, go ahead!"
"These pirates are yours to handle!"
Satan said faintly.
"Thank you, Captain!"
Lucci heard this and looked at the pirates, then shouted, "Have you killed people?"
"No, we really haven't!"
"This is our first time out at sea!"
"We're good people, we've definitely never killed anyone!"
The pirates all shouted.
But, the next moment, panic spread through their bodies.
"What... what's going on?"
"My leg, my body!"
The pirates were terrified, and in their fear, their bodies were petrified!
"What's going on?"
Shiryu of the Rain was startled.
Wasn't Lucci a Zoan-type fruit user?
Why could he turn people to stone?
"It's an ability the captain granted me!"
"Truth. Anyone who lies before me will be turned to stone!"
Lucci answered.
"An ability like 'Piety'?"
"Captain, I want an ability like that too!"
Shiryu was envious.
"I don't have a suitable ability for you right now!"
"Don't worry, when the opportunity arises in the future, I won't treat you unfairly!"
Satan reassured Shiryu of the Rain.
Among those who followed him, Vivian had Piety, Crocodile had the power of Greed, and Lucci had Truth.
Only Shiryu of the Rain had received nothing.
It was time to find an ability for Shiryu
