(Hey guys, it's your author here. I'm here to announce that the first chapter of my MCU fanfic is officially out now on Webnovel, so go check it out.)

The long nose man was the first one to take a step, he immediately disappeared from his place and appeared beside Xyrus.
His outstretched finger was about to hit Xyrus when he suddenly disappeared from his place, and before Kaku could react, he was back to where he was before.
"What happened?" Lucci can't help but ask himself when he saw Kaku appeared beside him without him noticing.
He didn't even managed to see Xyrus make a move and Kaku is already defeated?
"I suggest that you let us go and there will be no fight between us." Xyrus calmly said.
He has already read the memories of Kaku and saw that these white coated guys belong to an organization whose sole purpose is to protect the celestial dragons, the five elders and the whole Mariejois.
However, his face darkened when he saw what they did to those who tried to resist the Celestial Dragons.
Either they were killed or tortured inside a secret chamber underneath the Headquarters of the CP0.
It looks like sparing them is thrown out of the window.
"Hmph." Lucci didn't reply to him, even though he doesn't know what happened, but he believes in his own strength, not to mention, he is not alone here.
So he decided to directly use his devil fruit powers and his body has turned into something similar to a Leopard.
Xyrus was curious about how this devil fruit works, he already knew about them the moment he read the Celestial Dragon's memories, along with Kaku's.
These Devil Fruits are pretty and it could give someone incredible abilities once it is eaten, however the downside of it was being unable to swim and the seastone weakness, then there is also the Armament Haki which can be mastered through some kind of exercise.
Lucci made a secret gesture to Stussy to retreat and call a Marine Admiral in case they failed their task.
Although he is confident in his strength along with his comrades, but that doesn't mean that they won't fail.
The man he is facing is very mysterious to his eyes, after all, not only could he sneak inside Mariejois without anyone knowing, but he even killed a Celestial Dragon inside Mariejois, where the Celestial Dragons and the five elders live.
Even the infamous Whitebeard and all the other emperor doesn't have the guts to do that.
That's why Lucci only came with one conclusion, and that is the man in front of him is very confident in his strength.
Stussy saw his gesture and although she was reluctant to leave, but since Lucci's position is higher than her, then it is only natural for her to follow.
So she slowly and sneakily retreated.
All of this was caught by Xyrus's eyes, but he didn't bother them, after all, he won't stay up here for long.
Lucci, seeing that Xyrus was idle, decided to take his shot and rushed forward in fast speeds.
Xyrus could see that Lucci is more faster than Kaku earlier.
However, in his eyes, his speed is just like a turtle, so he casually dodged his punch, and delivered a terrifying kick to his abdomen.
*BOOM!*
A strong surge of wind blasted out behind Lucci as Xyrus's kick came in contact with his abdomen. Just the sheer kick of Xyrus has crushed most of his organs.
Lucci fell on the ground quickly and clenched his abdomen in pain.
Thanks to his will and perseverance, an internal injury that could fatally kill a normal person was resisted by him.
"H-how is this possible?" Kaku can't help but exclaim in shock and fear.
Lucci has always been stronger than him, especially when they entered the ranks of CP0, Lucci never stopped training and is more stronger than his past self. This is due to Luffy defeating him, which shattered his pride as the strongest CP9.
Because of this, Lucci trained like a madman and finally achieved good results. His combat strength is almost comparable to a Marine Admiral.
But before he could celebrate his efforts, he was once again defeated by some unknown guy, not to mention, he didn't even last 30 seconds before he was down. Kaku's afraid that Lucci's pride right now must have been shattered once again.
"Lucci!" Kaku called out to him and rushed out to help.
He was also followed by the two masked men behind them to intercept Xyrus and rescue Lucci.
However, like what Xyrus said to himself earlier, he's not gonna stay long here, so after kicking the two masked men away, he disappeared in a blue flash along with America and Amalia.
"Where did they go?" After helping Lucci stand, Kaku turned to look at Xyrus but found that he was already gone, along with his companion and a slave.
"I need to report this to the five elders." Kaku resolutely said to himself before helping Lucci walk away from the basement.
Meanwhile, back in the Foosha Village, Xyrus appeared, followed by America and Amalia.
"Oof!" Both of them fell on the ground, and when Amalia looked up and saw a simple village and greenery scenes, she can't help but shed a few tears.
Her days of being tortured everyday is finally gone, and she has also reunited with her daughter, thanks to Xyrus.
Seeing Amalia's grateful look, Xyrus accepted it, after all it would be rude for him if he refused her gratitude.
"You both should stay here for a while, I'm just gonna go and help my friend." Xyrus said.
Both America and Amalia nodded their heads in understanding.
"Be careful." Before Xyrus teleported away, America casted him a grateful look and thanked him again.
"My pleasure." Xyrus smiled and replied before disappearing again.
Since he's already familiar with Whitebeard's aura, he could locate his location and teleported there.
*Fwoosh!*
The moment Xyrus appeared, countless blades and guns were suddenly in front of him.
"Wow, what a way to treat a guest." Xyrus chuckled.
"Who are you?" Marco, with his flaming body asked Xyrus cautiously.
"I'm a good friend o-" When Xyrus was about to introduce himself, Whitebeard who was drinking a barrel of alcohol, finally noticed him and immediately said.
"Don't worry, he's my friend." Hearing their father's words, they slowly lowered their weapons and stared at this newcomer.
"I just saw the news, need my help? I could just bring Ace here with a snap of my fingers." When Xyrus said these words, the Whitebeard crew can't help but be shock at his words.
Even Whitebeard, who already knew about his powers, was also shock but soon recovered.
"I appreciate it but there's no need. This is my problem, and it is my fault on why this started in the first place." Whitebeard drank another round of alcohol before continuing.
"And besides, I would show the world why they shouldn't have mess with Whitebeard, Gurararararara!" Whitebeard laughed.
"Well, I'll provide my help whenever you need it." Xyrus said and sat down on the ground.
"In the meantime, I hope you don't mind me staying on your ship until we reached Marineford, right?"
"Of course. Marco, bring me another barrel." Whitebeard said while Marco nodded and did as he was told.
"You look younger." Xyrus can't help but comment on Whitebeard's face and his gold blond hair.
"Gurararara. Thanks to the Senzu Bean I received, I'm now back on my peak!"
