【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 537 Body Swap

Watching Luffy's departing figure, Qi couldn't help but sigh. Luffy had really given him a difficult problem, but it wasn't a big deal; Luffy would understand. Qi turned to look at Chopper, who was asking Kin'emon for a samurai outfit.

"Lucci, are you unhappy?" Luffy squatted down next to Lucci and tugged at the corner of his white shirt.

"No." Lucci turned his back to Luffy. He didn't want to see this little brat right now, who actually called him a stupid older brother.

“You have it.” Luffy immediately switched to the other side and continued pulling, looking pitifully at Lucci who had once again turned his back to him, “Ace~”

Seeing Luffy's pleading eyes, Ace put his hand to his face, trying to stop himself from laughing out loud, but he couldn't stop the chuckle from seeping through his fingers. Sure enough, the next second Lucci glared at him angrily, but seeing that look made him want to laugh even more, and finally he stopped hiding his laughter and burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Lucci, you're so cute, you actually got upset because of something Luffy said casually!"

"Who are you calling sulky?! You bastard!!" Lucci exploded instantly, lunging at Ace.

"Hey, Ace, you're no help at all!!" Luffy shouted angrily and pounced on him.

Everyone watched this scene with amusement. When they learned about Lucci's condition last time, they were all terrified by the news. Now, seeing them playfully joking around like this was a real treat.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Chopper had just come out with the medical kit when he saw the three people wrestling on the deck. "Robin, quickly separate them."

Robin chuckled as she looked at the three brothers who were playfully fighting. Hearing Chopper's words, she blinked in confusion, "What's wrong, Chopper?"

“Qi asked me to treat Lucci.” Chopper looked anxiously at Lucci, whose breathing seemed a little off.

"I'll do it." Qi sighed and rushed forward to pull Ace and Luffy apart. "Alright, Chopper, you go ahead."

"Qi, what are you doing?" Ace looked at Qi in confusion.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Lucci sat up, looking at Qi with the same puzzlement, as did Chopper who was holding the medical kit.

"Is Lucci injured?" Luffy quickly realized what was going on when he saw the first-aid kit next to Chopper. After all, Chopper had treated him countless times, and he understood just by looking at the expression on Chopper's face.

“He’s already been healed by Law,” Lucci explained, noticing the serious expression on Chopper’s face.

“I can’t guarantee anything for patients who don’t follow medical advice.” Hearing his name called, Luo looked up at Lu Qi, frowned as he saw the wound on Lu Qi’s chest completely exposed after he unbuttoned his shirt, and said, “You tore off the bandage?”

"There's nothing we can do about it," Lucci complained.

"The wound is a bit infected and needs antibiotics." Chopper bandaged the wound, thankfully the infection wasn't too serious. "We can't take the bandage off again, Lucci, if the infection gets worse, it will cause serious problems."

"Okay, I understand." To avoid being lectured by the doctor again, Lucci nodded quickly and readily accepted the medicine Chopper handed him.

"Will Doflamingo really send people to hunt us down?" Usopp asked tremulously, feeling frightened by the thought that Law had told them he had threatened Doflamingo.

"They definitely will," Nami said sadly, not wanting them to be hunted down as soon as they arrived in the New World.

"Chopper, where did you get those clothes? They look so cool!" After watching Lucci finish his medicine, Luffy finally turned his attention to Chopper's clothes and immediately became excited. "I want those armors and helmets too!"

"Kin'emon made us these samurai outfits!" Chopper exclaimed excitedly. "With this, I'm not afraid anymore!"

"Kin'emon, I want a helmet and armor!" Luffy shouted excitedly as he rushed to Kin'emon's side.

Lucci looked at Law, who was sitting by the railing with his eyes closed, and suddenly thought of something funny. He turned to Ace, who was standing next to him, and grinned.

"Ace~"

"What's wrong?" Ace looked at Lucci with a puzzled expression, and seeing the gleam in his eyes, he immediately took a step back. "What mischief are you planning to do now?"

"What kind of person do you think I am?!" Lucci was immediately displeased when he saw Ace's wary expression.

"So what do you want to do?" Ace scratched his head, looking at Lucci's dissatisfaction and complaining, "Every time you call me that, nothing good ever happens, and I'm always the one who ends up getting hurt."

“That’s just your imagination.” Lucci stood up, grabbed Ace’s arm, leaned close to his ear, ignored his complaints, and continued, “I’ve got a great idea that will be a lot of fun.”

"Your good ideas are always just pranks," Ace retorted. Every time Lucci said he had a good idea, he was either planning a prank or on his way to doing so.

“This isn’t a prank.” Lucci pulled Ace over, pointed at Law, and whispered, “He has a skill that allows him to switch bodies. Let’s switch and have some fun.”

"No." Ace twitched his lips and refused outright.

"Huh? Why?" Lucci looked at Ace, puzzled. "Don't you think it's funny?"

"I didn't find it interesting," Ace said, frowning as he looked at Law, who was leaning against the railing with his eyes closed, seemingly resting.

"Come on, let's give it a try, it'll be a lot of fun!"

"No!" Ace crossed his arms in displeasure, frowning at Lucci. "Don't forget how he took your heart!"

“I’m fully conscious now, so I’ll definitely be able to spot any problems immediately,” Lucci explained, then looked at Ace expectantly. “How about we make a trade? I want to test your fire abilities.”

"Why do you want to try this!" Ace couldn't help but smile. "Is it because you think my flames are especially powerful!"

Lucci looked at Ace, who had suddenly become smug, and wanted to refute him, but he held back for the sake of his purpose. He really wanted to test Ace's flames.

"Since you're so eager to try, I'll grant your wish," Ace said smugly.

Lucci looked at Ace, who was talking to himself, speechless, and dragged him in front of Law. "Law, can you still use that body-swapping skill?"

"What are you doing?" Luo looked at Lucci with a puzzled expression.

Lucci grinned and said, "I want to try it; it looks like it'll be a lot of fun."

"What are we trying?" Luffy immediately noticed the commotion on his brother's side and excitedly leaned over. "What fun games do you guys want to play!?"

"It's that body-swapping skill." Lucci looked at Law expectantly and asked, "Can we do it again?"

"I want to play too!!" Luffy excitedly approached Traman. "Traman, let's switch places."

"Wait, Luffy, let me switch places with Ace first," Lucci immediately stopped him.

"No! I want to play too!" Luffy shouted in dissatisfaction. "You guys didn't include me in your previous matches."

“That’s because you’re going to fight Caesar,” Ace retorted.

"I don't care, you guys have to include me this time!" Luffy insisted.

"ROOM!" Luo was tired of hearing them mutter "Chaotic Space" in front of him.

"Hey, has it been changed?"

"Change it."

"They've definitely changed them."
