93 Chapter 93 : Climax Starts!
[In Kaku's eyes, Zoro had seemingly transformed into a mythical warrior with three heads and six arms!]
[Surrounded by an eerie Haki aura, his three swords had multiplied into nine!]
[A bone-chilling presence crept closer to Kaku's face...]
[Under this overwhelming sensation, he found himself immobilized!]
[Splatter!]
[In the blink of an eye, Zoro had swiftly moved from Kaku's front to his rear...]
[In that instant, nine gashes appeared on Kaku's body!]
[Kaku fell, reverting from his giraffe form to his true form.]
[He lay motionless on the ground, clearly defeated.]
[Though Zoro and Sanji had managed to defeat Kaku and Jabra one after the other, they were exhausted.]
[Furthermore, their own injuries were far from insignificant...]
[Fortunately, after an arduous battle, CP9 was on the verge of total destruction.]
[Only one remained... Lucci!]
At the Navy headquarters...
The audience's reaction to Zoro and Sanji's performance was rather subdued, as most of them present were formidable individuals. To them, the fierce confrontation appeared like child's play.
The one exceptional response came from Shichibukai Mihawk, also known as Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman. With his profound knowledge of swordsmanship, he discerned the subtlety in Zoro's sword techniques as his Asura transformation unfolded.
"This unique Haki... the Asura Path?"
"A seldom-explored and powerful style of swordsmanship..."
Mihawk couldn't conceal his admiration for Zoro's prowess, especially considering how rare and challenging the Asura Path was to master.
Only those with unwavering dedication could succeed. The fact that Zoro could manifest three heads and six arms and unleash such potent Haki attacks was evidence of his mastery.
While the Straw Hat Pirates and their crew may still be relatively inexperienced compared to the elites at sea, his level of swordsmanship was impressive.
"Zoro... I'll remember that name."
"You continue to impress me more and more, perhaps one day in the future..."
"You might truly be my worthy opponent."
Others Shichibukai such as Boa Hancock, Doflamingo and Crocodile, couldn't help but be taken aback by Mihawk's words. In their eyes, Mihawk's praise was no trifling matter. Could this man named Zoro really possess the potential to become a legendary swordsman in the future?
[Meanwhile, in front of the Gates of Justice...]
[Luffy and Lucci had been engaged in a fierce battle for some time, testing each other's strength without going all out.]
[However...]
[Both Lucci and Luffy were aware that their adversary was far from weak.]
[They refrained from attacking recklessly; it was crucial to gauge each other's true power.]
[With prolonged combat, they gradually got a better sense of each other's capabilities...]
[But at this critical moment, Robin, under Spandam's guidance, reached the Gates of Justice.]
[As the massive gates began to open, Spandam's grin widened.]
[Once they entered the gate, no one would be able to catch up with them.]
[Though Luffy and Lucci continued their fierce clash, Luffy faced various obstacles.]
[As time ticked away, Luffy grew more anxious, realizing he had limited time to save Robin.]
[Moreover, as the Marine warships drew closer, the execution of the Buster Call order loomed ever nearer...]
[However, at this time, Franky arrived late with the key…]
[The moment he saw Franky, Luffy directly asked him to go behind the door to rescue Robin! ] ]
[But is Lucci willing to let him pass like this?] ]
[Lucci's foot almost split Franky…]
[But fortunately, Luffy is also determined to use all his power to stop him from interfering with Franky. ]
[Jet Pistol attacks, Gum-Gum Bazookas, various techniques kept clashing between them]
[No matter how strong Lucci is, he can only prevent Luffy from passing alone, and he can't stop two people at the same time. ] ]
[And the moment Franky stepped into the gate, he saw Luffy who was desperately trying to stop Lucci, and he was in a trance…]
[Because he thought of his childhood, it seems that he also had such a desperate experience.] ]
[At this time, Lucci kicked Luffy and came to Franky's side as fast as he could, intending to kill him! ] ]
[Just when Lucci teleported in front of Franky and directly used his Finger Pistol to shoot him away…]
[Luffy's hand stretched out and quickly grabbed it firmly! ] ]
[He raised his head and say with an extremely serious expression:]
"Didn't I say, your opponent, it's me!!! "]
Water 7!
Franky hid in the shadows and could see the live footage of the steel gate clearly.
At this moment, his expression was also like in the picture, and he was in a trance…
His heart has gradually changed from the beginning of his incomprehension and disdain that he will become a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
The more he watched the live broadcast, the more moved he became.
Just because of Luffy, their deep friendship with Robin!
The kind of courage to save his companions, he did not hesitate to break into the World Government's Enies Lobby, the place of justice!
It is also the determination to face a powerful enemy like CP9 regardless of the danger to life!
Looking at Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Usopp, and others… One by one, they fought valiantly, without the slightest intention of retreating.
Franky smiled…
"It seems that this group of pirates is extraordinary."
"I kind of understand why I want to join them."
"Although these people look a little out of tune, to be honest, in crucial moments..."
"They are all very dependable!"
["Damn, get out of the way for me!!! "]
[Luffy was furious to the extreme, while yelling at Lucci and attacking him relentlessly]
[But Lucci deserves to be known as a formidable fighter; even in the face of such a dense assault, he remains calm and collected. ] ]
[And also between defensive moves, he counter attacks against Luffy! ] ]
[Countless Finger Pistols shot out; if it were an ordinary person, they would have been riddled with holes. ] ]
[However, Luffy's rubbery body is almost immune to these attacks, so he remains unharmed. ] ]
[Lucci doesn't expect him to get injured; even if he can't make Luffy bleed, he can push him back.] ]
[So… That's enough! ]
[Luffy, who was pushed back to the same spot again, was even more furious. He knew that if it continued like this..."
[Robin would never be saved!] ]
[Even if he couldn't break through this door, he had to let Franky through! ] ]
[So, Luffy didn't hesitate and activated it directly…]
["Gear Second!!! "]
[Luffy support the ground with one hand, and at this moment, his skin began to turn red. ] ]
[Thick white steam rose up and down his body, and his power changed dramatically in that moment. ]
[Lucci saw him like this for the first time, and his brows slightly furrowed. ]
"Your strength has changed, at least twice as powerful as before; it seems you can't hold it. "]
["Then in that case, let's get serious…"
[As soon as the words fell, Lucci also used his Zoan Type Devil Fruit ability for the first time in this battle! ] ]
[In an instant, he transformed into a humanoid leopard! ] ]
[His huge muscles seemed ready to burst from his suit! ] ]
[His body became more robust, and his eyes and aura grew fiercer! ] ]
[At this moment, Lucci, in his Leopard Form, is more reminiscent of the name he was given...the Killing Machine! ]
[At this moment, Luffy in Gear Second mode and Lucci in Leopard Form locked eyes from a distance, and their gazes clashed... ]
[They charged in simultaneously! ] ]
[Even more intense battles and clashes began right at that moment! ] ]
The spectacle in the sky was undoubtedly the most thrilling moment.
Now Luffy and Lucci were completely focused, displaying their full strength.
Whether it was Luffy in Gear Second or Lucci in his Leopard Form.
Both exuded an overwhelming presence!
But who, exactly, is better known...? No one knew the answer, but everyone understood.
This battle was destined to be extraordinary! The level of excitement would surpass everyone's imagination...
