One Piece: Lord Of Shadows

"Ta, ta..."

In the long corridor, the clear sound of footsteps kept echoing.

Looking at the back of the unguarded figure walking straight ahead.

The expression on Perona's face, who was following behind, was changing, with entanglement and hesitation in her eyes.

She really wants to use her devil fruit ability and rely on the Negative Hollow to make the opponent lose the power to resist.

To avenge her respected Moria-sama.

But in the end, she didn't dare to take action.

"Well, Luke-sama..."

Feeling a little uneasy, she asked cautiously: "Do you need me to do anything?"

[Woohoo, Moria-sama, it's not that I don't want to avenge you; it's just that this guy is too scary]

"I thought you would use the power of your devil fruit to sneak attack?"

Luke paused, then he turned around and looked at her with a smile.

His sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts: "It looks like you're not that stupid after all!"

"Ahhh?"

Perona's heart skipped a beat.

She was a little panicked and covered in cold sweat.

Then she subconsciously dodged Luke's falcon-like gaze and dared not to look directly at him as she hurriedly waved her hands: "How...how could it be?"

Her back was soaked with cold sweat.

The other party is indeed an agent from the CP9, and he is clearly aware of her devil fruit abilities.

Fortunately, she didn't take action.

"So…"

Luke gently pinched Perona's chin.

His dark eyes looked directly into her eyes, which were subconsciously dodging because of her guilty conscience, and he asked with a smile: "Tell me, what were you thinking just now?"

Even if he can't read Perona's mind directly.

But how could the other party's emotional changes be hidden from him?

At one time, she showed malice, and at another time, it was suppressed by reason.

Apparently, she had repeatedly debated whether to take action against him.

"What?"

Hearing this, Perona's face turned pale, and she sweated profusely.

She looked at the ridiculously young figure in front of her with horror.

Can this guy directly read people's minds?

"This is the final warning..."

Luke gently stroked her smooth cheeks with a smile on his face while speaking calmly: "It's just this once; it won't happen next time!"

He could naturally guess what Perona was thinking.

As an elite CP9 agent, he is not just a master of force.

He is a master of psychology, and combined with his innate Observation of Haki, he can easily guess the other person's heart.

But what is needed is this fear of the unknown.

"Yes, I definitely don't dare anymore, Luke-sama..."

Perona was sweating coldly while full of panic and uneasiness as she begged for mercy.

Patting her breasts, which were beginning to take shape, she promised with her heart.

"Although the death penalty can be avoided, living crime cannot be avoided..."

Stroking her smooth face and Looking at her big round eyes, Luke said playfully: "You have made a mistake, and you should be punished!"

"Ahh?"

After hearing Luke say this, Perona, who thought everything was okay and had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but feel her heart jump again.

Suddenly, she became a little nervous.

"Click!"

A door was opened.

Perona's eyes widened.

Isn't this her room?

Although she was confused, she could only bite the bullet and follow Luke in.

The door closed with a bang.

Luke boldly and pretentiously sat on the sofa while looking at Perona, standing there anxiously as she waited for her fate.

He neatly threw over a seastone handcuff and said expressionlessly: "Perona, I'm very angry now!"

"You have betrayed my trust... In view of your behavior and dangerous abilities, you will wear seastone handcuffs until you pass my test again!"

"Seastone?"

Perona was in a daze.

Why is the other party still carrying a pair of seastone handcuffs? Is it used specifically to deal with herself?

She was full of remorse and begged with a bitter face: "Luke-sama, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again... Can I not wear this?"

"Um?"

Luke's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his voice rose.

"I'll wear it, I'll wear it..."

Perona pursed her lips and almost cried while putting on the seastone handcuffs.

The next moment, she became powerless again, and her devil fruit abilities could no longer be used.

"Then Luke-sama..."

Looking at the figure in front of her, who is younger than herself but looks like a devil.

Perona couldn't help but swallow her saliva and asked nervously: "I know I was wrong. How can I pass your test and regain your trust?"

Now, her intestines are full of regret.

She wishes she could slap her past self in the face and think about something else.

If she stays by the other party's side obediently, won't you be able to continue to be a cadre on the Thriller Bark as before?

Besides, she didn't want to wear this thing every day.

She feels so weak and miserable.

"That depends on your performance!"

Luke stroked her pretty face and said with a smile.

"I promise to be obedient and do whatever you say!"

Perona hastily reassures Luke.

This little girl was really frightened.

"Okay, you go prepare the bath water first..."

Luke leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes there to relax.

In the past few days, he had put a lot of thought into tonight's plan.

He really needs to relax.

Originally, if the plan to assassinate Moria failed.

He was ready to directly eat the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

However, compared to Kaido's devil fruit, Fish-Fish Fruit, Azure Dragon Model, which is comprehensive and impeccably perfect in all aspects.

The general abilities of the Rat-Rat Fruit, Model: Scythe Weasel, are recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. 

It has sickle-sharp claws and can release wind blades that tear everything apart.

This ability is certainly good.

But it obviously didn't meet his expectations.

Therefore, Luke has not made up his mind for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally became the Shadow-Shadow Fruit user.

He was originally just preparing to take control of the Thriller Bark.

But he completely takes everything away from Moria.

"Ah!?"

Perona was completely stunned.

Wasn't this done by the maid?

She has never done the job of serving people before.

"Huh? Is there a problem?" Luke opened his eyes and looked at the other party with a frown.

"No, no, no problem, right away-"
