Getting exited? Want to know if Lucinda can beat Blackbeard? Well you'll see soon.

-Flashback-

Lucinda was 2 years old when her mother died. She had died in childbirth and the child, whom could have been her brother, also dies. She therefor only had her father left. Those two grew a strong bond and Lucinda wished he never died. When she was 10 years old, her father brought home a Devil's Fruit. He told her it was insurance, in case anything happened. It was a rare Fruit he told her. Over the years, she forgot about the Fruit.

She was 29 years old, when her father told her, that he over the years had collected and sold a lot of Devil's Fruits, so the two of them could live without money sorrow. He showed her the Fruit he just had obtained and gave it to her, so she could sell it. He had no idea what power that dwelled in that Fruit. Four days later, he died.

Lucinda couldn't bear the sorrow. On the third day of his dead, she looked around in her house. She looked at pictures of her and her family, but they didn't give her happiness. She felt so alone and wanted nothing more than to be with her father. Hear him laugh and smile proudly at her. Therefor she took a decision, as her eyes lingered on the Devil's Fruit. She ate the Fruit and wrote a note, before leaving the house.

'I ate the Devil's Fruit and will now go for a swim in the ocean. Take good care of our kids. I'll watch over you along with my father.'

Her husband found her standing on the cliffs, just before she jumped into the ocean. He didn't think and jumped in after her. He pulled her up and out of the sea and started first aid. She spit out water and opened her eyes.

"Lu… I'm so happy I made in time. Don't worry. You'll be fine my love," he said worried.

"My father …" she trailed off.

"I know love. But he won't like you taking your own life. Stay strong and help change the world. Raise our kids to responsible and good persons. I can't do that on my own," he said.

She looked into his brown eyes. "Mark… I'm so sorry," she whispered.

"Don't be Lu. I fully understand. Come let's go home and find out what kind the Devil's Fruit was," he smiled and helped her up.

As they walked, she felt the lust for drinking some blood. All around she saw people and thought about to drain them from their blood. As they came home, her thirst for blood had increased and she stopped up, as she heard the voices of her children. Afraid that she would give in to her thirst, she turned to her husband, telling him what she felt.

"I guess that makes you a vampire. Don't worry love. You can control it. I'll help you," he smiled.

Over the next 50 years, he and her children help her control her thirst. She also got the help of the marine and she helped them train new soldiers. However she felt so sad, seeing them grow older and older, when she didn't. At least not on the outside. She saw her children and grandchildren grow up. Before her grandchildren were old enough to find love and get married, she decided to leave. It was hard, but she knew that their death would be harder on her.

Therefor she spent the years alone or training marines. However she would always introduce herself to her family. 105 years ago she met a woman who had eaten the Yami Yami no Me. Lucinda had known her before and she was a power hungry woman. She had started to destroy Island's and kill innocent people. The government had asked Lucinda for help, since all their efforts had been in vain. It had been a deadly and hard battle. Not knowing what the Yami Yami no Me really could do, she had jumped into the fight with the help of two non-users. Only together did they manage to kill the user.

As she saw how the marine and world government changed, she decided to make an exit from this world, without dying. She asked her great-great-grandchild to help her out. He wrote the false report of her death and for 75 years, she was official dead.

Now she was back in action. To take care of the changes and make a better world. At the age of 194 years, Lucinda was now facing the danger of the Yami Yami no Me once more. Lucinda knew therefor what would come to her.

-Flashback ends-

"I am and since you was the one to bring him in danger, I will kill you," she said calmly, unsheathing her swords.

"Zehahahaha," laughed Blackbeard.

She gave a short nod and the four men left her and Shanks, to fight off whoever tried to interfere with her and Shanks' fight. Blackbeard didn't take long to use his Devil's Fruit power. Lucinda and Shanks simply jumped up and kicked him, their leg strengthened with Haki, sending Blackbeard back on the ground. He was quickly back on his feet, trying another tactic, by trying to take out Ace and Thatch. Both men simply avoided his attack, but steeped behind further.

The Blackbeard pirates and their allies were now fighting the Whitebeard pirates and Red Hair pirates. Benn and Jozu were in charge for the fight. Lucinda had said she didn't care if any of the pirates survived or not. The only thing that matters was that Blackbeard was killed. Lucinda and Shanks kept avoiding his attacks, but they did not yet attack on their own. As they had talked about, both wanted to see how much control he had over his powers.

Lucinda avoided the attack from Blackbeard, but Shanks failed to avoid and got hit on the head. She ignored the feeling of rushing over to him, though it looked bad. She could hear Benn gasp horrified, but out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Shanks back on his feet. Blackbeard didn't give her time to worry over Shanks, as he attacked her again. Lucinda was tired of defending, so she unsheathed her swords.

"Zehahaha. Swords have no effect on me, Lucinda. Not even if you use Haki," he grinned.

She didn't answer him. Instead she attacked him with a kick to the stomach. He was however prepared and used his ability. The power of her kick decreased and he tried to capture her. However she was fast and avoided his grab, but failed to land a blow with her swords. He looked at her like a maniac.

"We could rule the world together, little vampire," he smirked.

"Like hell I would do that," she hissed back.

"You'll come around, once I've dealt with the world," he grinned.

"I won't let you get away from here alive," she said.

He activated his power and drawn her close to him. He held her up, suffocating her. She didn't panic. She could feel her vampire power completely drained, but that didn't matter, because she didn't need it to fight him. He laughed, making the others look at him for a short while.

"And now, my precious little vampire, you'll explore pain you've never felt before. I will make you mine," he said.

I didn't want to leave you in the dark about Lucinda's past. So know you know a little ;)
