Lucy's heart pounded in her chest as she faced off against Daddy Jones. The chamber they were in was filled with treasure, but Lucy couldn't focus on anything except the looming threat in front of her.

"Daddy Jones, I'm your daughter," she pleaded, hoping to reason with him. "Don't you remember me?"

The ghost pirate dog just sneered at her. "I don't remember anything except serving my thunder god, Raigon. And he wants you all dead."

Tashina stepped forward, a fierce determination in her eyes. "Di curse muss ave mek him forget yuh, Lucy. Raigon controlling him."

Lucy nodded, realizing that her hope for a reunion with her father was fading fast. She drew her cutlass, ready to fight for her life and the lives of her friends.

Lucy watched in horror as Daddy Jones effortlessly blocked every attack thrown his way. She couldn't believe how strong he was, even against her crew of experienced pirates. Their weapons seemed to do nothing to harm him, as if he was made of solid stone.

Byron swung his sword with all his might, but Daddy Jones simply stepped out of the way, taunting him with a sly grin. Tashina lunged forward, blasting her green fireballs, but Daddy Jones dodged the attacks with ease. Ivy tried to shoot him with her pistol, but the bullets bounced off his chest as if it was made of rubber.

As the pirates grew tired, Daddy Jones's attacks became more aggressive. He swung his sword wildly, forcing them to dodge and weave to avoid being struck. His laughter grew louder with each passing moment, as if he was enjoying their struggle.

Lucy felt her heart pounding in her chest as she watched her friends being beaten back by the ghost pirate. She knew that they needed a new strategy, something that would give them an edge against their enemy. But what could they do? Daddy Jones seemed invincible.

Suddenly, Lucy had an idea. She called out to her crew, "Everyone, gather around me!"

As they circled around her, Lucy explained her plan. "We need to work together to defeat Daddy Jones. We'll each attack him from a different angle, distracting him so that someone else can strike."

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Her crew looked at her with uncertainty, but they knew they needed to try something new. They nodded in agreement and prepared to attack.

Lucy ran towards Daddy Jones, her sword raised high. As he turned to face her, Tashina attacked from the side, tossing a fireball. Daddy Jones dodged her attack, but as he did, Charles lunged forward from the other side with his dagger.

Daddy Jones managed to block Charles's attack, but as he did, Ivy shot him in the back with her gun. The shot struck him in the shoulder, causing him to stumble forward.

Daddy Jones HP: 290

Byron took this opportunity to attack from above, leaping off a nearby crate and bringing his sword down in a powerful strike. Daddy Jones managed to block the attack, but as he did, Loretta lunged forward from behind, striking him in the back of the head with a stone.

Daddy Jones HP:285

The strategy was working! Daddy Jones might be a ghost, but he wasn't invincible.

For a moment, Daddy Jones stumbled forward, his body weakened by the combined assault. Lucy knew that this was her chance. She ran forward, her sword raised high, and struck Daddy Jones with all her might.

Daddy Jones HP:268

For a moment, it seemed like her attack had worked. Daddy Jones staggered backwards, his body shaking with the force of the blow. But then, he stood up straight, a sly grin spreading across his face.

"Is that all you've got, girl?" he taunted. "You'll have to do better than that to defeat me!"

Lucy felt a surge of fear wash over her as she realized that their attacks had done nothing to harm Daddy Jones.

Before she could act, Daddy Jones lunged forward toward Charles, his sword raised high.

"Charles, no!" Without hesitation, Lucy threw herself in front of Charles, taking the blow meant for him. Pain seared through her body as she fell to the ground.

Lucy HP:0

Charles cradled her in his arms, tears streaming down his face. "Lucy!" he cried.

Lucy smiled weakly up at him. "I had to save you," she whispered. "I love you."

As her vision began to fade, Lucy saw the faces of her friends looking down at her, their expressions filled with grief and horror. She knew that they would carry on without her, that they would keep fighting until they found a way to defeat Daddy Jones.

With her last breath, Lucy whispered a prayer to the sea goddess, hoping that she would guide her friends to victory. And then, everything went dark.

Lucy defeated!
