【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 447 Let Luffy sleep...

"What about Lucci?" Whitebeard asked, trying not to laugh. "Why? Because Lucci thanked me. In fact, Lucci is not as difficult to deal with as Ace."

"I want to thank you for helping us protect Lucci. Even though Lucci has been hiding it from me, I know that Lucci has always been protecting me, and I also know how much they wanted him before." Luffy looked up at Whitebeard and grinned. "Anyway, thank you for giving Lucci a home."

"Gulalala, just like you said, Luffy, they are my sons, so I don't need your thanks." Whitebeard finally laughed. This child, this child is really different. He can feel that he has a natural instinct.

"Although I am very grateful that you gave Lucci a home before, Lucci's home will be the Straw Hat Pirates from now on!" Luffy grinned, with a wild look in his eyes. "I will be Lucci's captain, and he will sail with me!"

"Gulalala, you naughty kid, do you want to steal my son?!" Whitebeard's face was gloomy, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.

Luffy also met Whitebeard's gaze, staring silently into his eyes, his eyes revealing his determination "No, Lucci was mine from the beginning, he agreed."

When the three of them were on the deck, they felt this powerful domineering aura, so they rushed down from the deck in a hurry and broke open the cabin door.

Looking at the scene of Luffy and Dad confronting each other in the room, Ace took a breath and hurriedly shouted, "Dad! What are you doing!?"

"Dad, how could you release Conqueror's Haki on Luffy!?" Lucci shouted in dissatisfaction, "He's still injured!"

"Lucci, I'm fine!" Luffy grinned. "It's no big deal!"

The Haki disappeared instantly, and Whitebeard looked at Luffy in confusion. Although he had no ill intentions and did not want to overwhelm him, his Haki was still very strong. The boy did not seem to react. "Boy, do you know what this is? This is Conqueror's Haki, it's not a joke."

"What's the big deal?" Luffy scratched his ear and said casually, "You have it, I have it, Shanks has it, Lucci and Ace have it too."

Whitebeard raised his eyebrows, but was not too surprised. He knew from Luffy's aura that it was normal for him to do so.

But...even though he knew that Luffy's words proved that Lucci had already agreed, and he still remembered the conditions under which Lucci agreed to become his son, and now it seemed that it should be Luffy, but there were some things he still had to say, "Gulala, Luffy, even though my son agreed, I'm not someone who will let go easily!"

Lucci looked at his father in confusion, and was about to ask what his father meant when Luffy interrupted his thoughts.

"I will succeed!" Luffy said firmly.

"Hahaha, Dad, we won't disturb your rest!" Ace immediately put his arms around Luffy's neck and pulled him away, not wanting his little brother to quarrel with his dad again.

"Dad, I'll ask Sachi to prepare food for you again." Lucci said helplessly as he looked at the remaining food scraps on the huge plate.

"Gulala, it's okay, son." Whitebeard laughed. "I'm very happy today!"

"Lucci, come quickly!"

"I'm leaving first, Dad." After saying goodbye to Whitebeard, Lucci was about to catch up with his brothers, but his father's voice made him stop.

"Lucci!" Whitebeard grinned, a gentle fatherly smile on his face. "No matter where you sail, you will always be my son!"

Lucci turned to look at Whitebeard, a warm feeling welling up in his heart, and he was a little touched. Then a bright smile appeared on his face. "I understand, Dad. I will always be your son!"

"Gulalalal, of course, son!" Whitebeard laughed.

"Lucci!!"

"I am coming!"

……

"Luffy, you need to come and sleep!" Ace looked at Luffy, who was still full of energy and in high spirits, with a look of despair on his face. "We shouldn't let him sleep for so long during the day."

"We all forgot how difficult it is to coax an excited Luffy to sleep, and we also forgot how difficult it is to deal with Luffy when he is excited." Sabo leaned on Ace's shoulder, looking at Luffy walking around the room with the same tired face.

After dinner, at first, they spent a lot of time and energy just chasing Luffy to make him take a shower obediently. Now Luffy has been tossing around the room like this until most of the night. Their energy has been completely exhausted, but Luffy is still so energetic and shows no signs of wanting to sleep.

Luffy searched through almost every detail of the room, even the small vest that Ace had kept secretly was taken out from the hidden corner of the closet by Luffy.

Although it was funny to see Ace's face flushed, they also had a series of arguments about how small Ace was to be able to wear such a small vest at that time.

The four of them also sat on the bed together to learn the stories behind the photos in Ace's album, but after all this was done, Luffy's emotions were still so high. Instead, they were tossed around a lot, but still couldn't get Luffy to lie down and sleep peacefully.

"Sabo, do something, I want to sleep." Ace muttered tiredly.

"What should we do?" Sabo grumbled. "We've done a lot, but his emotions are still high. I tried to reason with Luffy, persuade him, plead with him, and even bargained with him by tempting him with meat and candy. Although he responded positively, it only made him more excited. I think you should use your methods to make him see some sense."

"Huh? You actually want me to fight Luffy?" Ace's fingers tightened unconsciously on his thighs, feeling uneasy about the fact that Sabo asked him to do this. "Has he pushed you to this extent?"

"That won't hurt him, and besides, I'm really sleepy, but I can't fall asleep for you know what reason," Sabo sighed and muttered in frustration.

"Okay," Ace sighed in frustration as well, he had been hoping that Sabo would find a solution but with absolutely no success he had given up hope.

Ace was about to get up and grab Luffy on his own terms, dragging him to bed to sleep, but a sudden thought stopped him. It was nothing else but the even breathing sound of the person leaning on his left shoulder that stopped his movement.

He really didn't expect that when he and Sabo were so desperate about Luffy's inability to sleep peacefully, Lucci actually fell asleep peacefully leaning on his shoulder?

"Lucci, Lucci, wake up, wake up, think of a solution quickly." Ace kept patting Lucci's cheek as he leaned on his shoulder and closed his eyes.
