Lucci frowned slightly.
This level of "immortality" displayed by his opponent already rivaled the fourth stage of Life Return.
It could not quite be called regeneration from a single drop of blood, but as long as a piece of flesh remained, he could reconstruct his body in a short time.
However, the essence of Hollow's regenerative ability had nothing to do with cells, flesh, blood, or vitality.
It had been mentioned before.

If the Dark-Dark Fruit awakened, perhaps he could try creating darkness over a large area.

He emphasized the words "caught
