"Creating flames with your devil fruit," Lucci observed. "However that is not going to be enough," he added. "Flying Finger Pistol Sting," Lucci added as he flicked his finger and sent a small compressed air attack towards Ben.
Ben felt something coming. He got hit in the chest. He felt something had stabbed him as he staggered back. He spat blood, looking at the ground below. "That was only a taster," Lucci remarked.
"Flying Finger Pistol: Three Plectrums," Lucci added as he flicked his finger three times and sent three small compressed air attacks towards Ben. Ben felt the intent coming towards him for a second. He moved out of the way from the first attack however got hit by the second and third attack. Ben got hit in the right arm and side of the stomach. He buckled from the pain however did not fall. He was panting. This pain is nothing, he thought.
Ben looked at Lucci. "Demon Inferno Fire," Ben said as he unleashed a torrent of black charcoal flames from his mouth resembling a flamethrower, towards Lucci.
"Moonwalk," Lucci said as he jumped into the air. He kicked the air and flew above the flamethrower.
Ben flew up towards Lucci. He swung his fist and attempted to punch Lucci. Lucci swung his fist at him. Their fist clashed. They could feel a shockwave. Lucci and Ben flew back down and looked at each other. "I will take your key," Ben stated.
"To save your lover?" Lucci questioned. "You are foolish," he added. "Storm Leg: 'Leopard Tail," Lucci said as he created a large, powerful compressed air blast in the shape of a swirl. He sent it towards Ben at rapid speed. The attack went towards Ben. Ben took to the sky and dodged the attack. He saw the wall had been cleanly sliced by the attack. Lucci jumped into the air. He punched Ben in the face and he went down.
Ben slammed onto the ground again. He hit his arm and it was bleeding slightly now. He saw Lucci leap towards him. He swung his leg. Ben jumped back and he narrowly avoided the attack. He quickly moved towards Lucci. "Demon Inferno Kick," Ben said as he spun his leg and channelled his energy in his leg. It ignited into black fire. Ben swung his foot.
"Iron Body: Deutzia," Lucci said as he solidified his body. Ben kicked Lucci. The black fire hit Lucci's large wide chest. Lucci smiled as he felt the attack. It started to burn his body. He felt pain however he deflected some of it back to Ben.
Ben felt his own foot getting burnt. He could feel pain. Suddenly there was a shockwave. Ben and Lucci both went flying back. Lucci was panting. Ben was also panting. Ben could feel his leg was in pain.
"I created a variant of the Iron Body to reflect attacks back," Lucci said. "But it went through," Lucci replied.
"You are not invincible," Ben said as he got up. He stretched his leg. "Demon Inferno Barrage," Ben said as he created small dark flaming projectiles around his body and wings. He then launched it towards Lucci. The flaming projectiles hit the ground and melted the rock.
"Razor," Lucci said as he went in a zigzag motion in midair. He quickly dodged all the flaming projectiles and went towards Ben. Ben saw Lucci was dodging everything. "Finger Pistol," Lucci said as he pulled his index claw and penetrated Ben`s left shoulder.
Ben groaned in pain feeling his shoulder get struck . However he saw Lucci was close. "Demon's Inferno Fist," Ben said, channelling his energy into his hand . He ignited the energy and released black fire as a result. He punched Lucci in the stomach who coughed blood up. Lucci felt pain in his stomach, he took his claw out of Ben and kicked him back.
Ben went flying back and landed on his back. He was panting as he got up again. He felt his shoulder hurting. It was bleeding from the wound. Lucci had some sharp claws, he thought. Suddenly Ben felt something. He looked to see Lucci releasing a sharp compressed blade of wind at him. "Storm Leg," Lucci said as he kicked at high speed and strength. Ben jumped out of the way narrowly avoiding the attack
"Flying Finger Pistol Sting," Lucci added as he flicked his finger and sent a small compressed air attack towards Ben. Ben got hit with the attack and went flying back. He landed on his feet and looked at Lucci.
"You are more durable than I thought," Lucci said. He smiled, wiping blood from his face. He smiled. "Flying Finger Pistol Fire Sting," Lucci said as he flicked his finger. The friction caused a spark between his claws and a fireball flew towards Ben.
"Demon's Inferno Fist," Ben said as he slapped the fireball away. He was panting and sweating.
"Storm Leg: Leopard Tail," Lucci said as he created a large, powerful compressed air blast in the shape of a swirl. He sent it towards Ben at rapid speed. Ben felt the attack coming. He flew up in the air and avoided the attack narrowly.
"Demon Beam," Ben said as he focused his energy in his hand. He raised his hand and shot Lucci.
"Paper Art," Lucci said as he relaxed his body. He moved to the right like a piece of paper and dodged the attack. The beam hit the ground and there was a small explosion. There was black smoke cloud.
Ben rushed forward. He got close. Lucci swung his tail at Ben. Ben caught his tail however Lucci pulled Ben towards him and punched him in the face. Ben spat blood out from his mouth again however he quickly composed himself. "Demon Abyssal Chains," Ben said as he created black chains coming from the palm of his hands and Lucci him.
With his other hand, he formed a spear-shaped projection of dark energy. "Demon Abyssal Lance," Ben said as he hurled it at high speed towards Lucci. Lucci did not have any time to react and got hit with a spear-shaped weapon. Ben let the chains go and Lucci went flying back. His chest was pierced as he felt blood leaking from his wound. He landed on his back.
Ben was panting. He dropped to his knees. Lucci got back up. "You have more tricks up your sleeve," Lucci commented. "I have been waiting for this," he added. "Life Return Paper Art Fighting Form," Lucci said as he slimed his body down. His large chest got smaller. His arms and legs got leaner. He looked like he had been on an extreme diet.
Ben thought this was not good. Lucci smiled and dashed towards him. He punched Ben who went flying back. He landed on his side and rolled around until he stopped. Ben got back to his feet. He thought he needed to be defeated otherwise they wouldn't be able to leave. His arm, shoulders and leg all hurt but that was nothing compared to what Robin is feeling.
