Chapter 52 Fallen Angel

Seeing Lucia's changes, Jig couldn't help but look at Jialin and exclaimed,

"An animal-type devil fruit? It looks like a mythical beast. Uncle Garin is really generous. Thank you!"

Jialin folded his arms and said nothing, but a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which showed that he was quite happy about Jiger's praise.

If Jiger knew what Garin was thinking, he would probably suspect that he was deliberately showing off in front of his nephew.

At this time, Lucia has completely released the ability of the fruit. She opened her eyes, and you can see that her amber pupils have turned into dark purple, flowing with a strange light.

Under the effect of the fruit's ability, her face became unusually mature and beautiful, and her figure became fuller. When she looked at Jiger, Jiger suddenly felt a restlessness in his body and a burning sensation.

Jiger definitely didn't have any bad intentions. This abnormality was most likely related to Lucia's fruit ability.

Facing Jiger, Lucia had no intention of being on guard. She opened her red lips slightly and made a charming sound.

"Young Master, my fruit is an animal-type mythical beast, in the form of a fallen angel, and its ability is..."

"No need to say more, I have roughly guessed it. Let's start and let me feel it."

"As you wish, young master."

As soon as she finished speaking, the black wings behind Lucia fluttered, and the whole person turned into a black stream of light and rushed towards Jiger, scattering black feathers along the way.

Clang!

Zhuiming and Muramasa collided with each other, making a sound of golden swords.

Lucia in the fallen angel form has received a great boost in both speed and strength. From this attack, Jiger can conclude that Lucia is definitely much stronger than Gion, the number one female cadet in the navy today.

However, Lucia was even more surprised at this time, because Jiger's strength was indeed far beyond her expectations.

Although she did not use her full strength in this attack, she did use the power of the fruit, and Jiger blocked it so easily.

She stared at Jiger's young face, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed from her beautiful eyes.

Jiger was stunned. He thought, why was Lucia crying when he hadn’t even fought back yet?

He didn't care about the fight anymore. He used a little force to push away Zhuiming, put his arms around Lucia's waist and pulled her into his arms, and asked softly,

"What's wrong with you Lucia?"

Lucia's nose moved and she choked up.

"Young Master, you must have suffered a lot outside these years. How could you have such strength just by training in the Naval Academy?"

"Uh......"

Jiger tried hard to recall his experiences over the years. Except for those days in the Valley of Gods, he seemed to have not suffered any hardship in the rest of the time.

So he said with some laughter and tears,

"You think too much, Lucia. My life out there is not as bad as you think. In fact, I am living a pretty easy life. As for my strength...can't I, your young master, be gifted?"

Lucia wiped the tears from her face and was about to speak when Garin, who had been watching the battle, suddenly shouted,

"What are you doing there?! Jig, you want me to test your strength in person, right?"

Hearing this, Lucia jumped out of Jig's arms and said hurriedly,

"Young Master, let's quickly continue the fight we just had!"

As for Garin, the uncle who showed his domineering attitude towards his nephew as soon as they met, Lucia didn't think that Garin would be gentle when he attacked Jiger.

If her Young Master Jiger was injured, it would be even more painful than killing her.

Jiger, however, looked nonchalant, thinking that at worst he could just keep driving the Shenwei and let Garin chop him down. After all, it wasn't the first time they met, so he didn't need to put in any effort.

He even wanted to enjoy the look of Garin being helpless against him.

But seeing how panicked Lucia was, Jiger gave up this evil idea and prepared to quickly end this reluctant battle.

Thinking of this, he raised his knee towards Lucia, and then kicked out a slashing wave wrapped in lightning through the air.

"Rakyataki Raikiri!"

Lucia's eyes narrowed slightly, and the armed color instantly wrapped around the falling light in her hand. She held the knife with both hands across her chest. The slashing wave fell on the edge of her sword and did not dissipate. The powerful force pushed her to move backwards.

A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she marveled at the power of Jiger's attack.

If she had not entered the fallen angel form in advance, this slash would have been enough to decide the outcome in one blow.

It can only be said that Jiger still underestimated Lucia's strength. She pursed her lips and smiled, and purple flames rose from her body.

A blush appeared on Lucia's face, and her strength increased again. With a swing of her sword, she actually broke the slashing wave.

When she looked at Jiger again, an unusually charming smile appeared on her face.

"Young Master, you are really amazing, I like you the most!"

Jiger was confused by Lucia's sudden confession. He couldn't help but ask,

"Lucia, are you okay?"

Lucia smiled, a hint of purple flame slowly came out of her mouth, and said,

"What can I do, young master? I just used the power of the fruit. This purple flame is called the flame of desire. It can turn others into ashes in the burning of their own desires. But if I use it on myself, it can amplify the strongest desire in my heart, thereby greatly enhancing my strength."

"So your desire is..."

"Yes, my desire is you, young master~"

Lucia's voice at this moment was so charming that it captivated people. Giger's restlessness became stronger, and the burning feeling became more and more intense.

He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and decided not to hold back.

He was not afraid that he could not control himself, but he was afraid that Lucia would say something vicious next. If it were just the two of them, it would be fine, but the main thing was that Garin was still standing there!

He flashed in front of Lucia, turned over the demon sword Muramasa, and hit Lucia's abdomen with it like a board. However, Lucia had no intention of blocking it. She simply spread her arms and faced Jiger in a hug.

"What!?"

Jiger quickly withdrew his hand, and in such a hurry that he had no time to brake, he dived directly into Lucia's broad arms.

Lucia smiled sweetly, she picked up the somewhat confused Jiger, bent down and kissed him.

The pair of black wings slowly folded, covering her and Jiger.

Seeing this scene, Jialin's mouth twitched. He wanted to scold him, but in the end he just sighed and said,

"I shouldn't have let these two people fight!"
