Chapter 102 : Shaking the World!

Marine Headquarters!

Garp's weathered face was streaming with tears...

"Luffy!"

He wept for various reasons.

One was witnessing his grandson's relentless struggle and enduring constant torture.

Each new wound inflicted upon that young body pierced his heart like a knife!

Lucci's Six Kings Gun hadn't physically struck Luffy, but it had struck his heart...

Another reason was seeing that his once mischievous grandson had grown into someone understanding the weight of responsibility and the importance of a mission!

For the sake of his comrades, even if knocked down repeatedly, Luffy rose again without hesitation!

This resilience and determination surpassed many in this world.

Overall, Garp's emotions at this moment were highly complex.

Worry, nervousness, relief...

"Sigh..."

"Don't cry all the time; my hands are getting tired."

"Look at me. Just plunge into the water calmly; everything will be sorted. What's there to worry about?"

Sengoku, standing nearby, wordlessly patted Garp on the shoulder.

Garp: "Nonsense, a person without a grandson like yourself, of course, you wouldn't understand!"

Sengoku: "..."

So it seemed...

["You won't last much longer, Straw Hat Kid..."]

[Lucci's face contorted hideously as he utilized Soru to appear in front of Luffy.]

[With his powerful tail, he swiftly coiled around and suspended Luffy before him.]

[Extending his fists, he pressed them against Luffy's chest...]

["Six Styles Rokushiki: Maximum Ring: Six King Gun!"]

[Indeed, Lucci intended to unleash the Marine Six's strongest technique once again!]

[And it was far more terrifying than the standard Six Kings Gun, the ultimate round of the Six Kings Gun!]

[This attack encapsulated almost all of his strength, channeling the utmost power he could muster!]

[Using it consecutively had already pushed Luffy to the brink of unconsciousness, and this time, he aimed to force Luffy out completely!]

[In an instant, a formidable impact force condensed once more, surging forward!]

[Only for a moment, Luffy endured it all, the massive impact causing violent tremors throughout his body!]

[However, hanging from Lucci's tail, he couldn't let go...]

"Wow!"]

[Blood flowed from Luffy's mouth.]

[In this moment, the intense pain plunged him into a brief coma, his eyes rolling without a trace of reason...]

[Observing this, Lucci gradually released his tail, as, in his perception, Luffy was already defeated under this powerful blow!]

[Luffy, unconscious, began to descend...]

[Yet, just as he was about to hit the ground, his indomitable willpower jolted him back to consciousness!]

[Luffy leaned forward and stood his ground once again...]

["Huh!?"]

[This scene left Lucci stunned; he hadn't expected Luffy, who had absorbed the full force of the Six Kings Gun, to remain standing.]

[For the first time, a sense of shock gripped his heart.]

[This guy, despite enduring the Six Kings Gun three times, refused to fall.]

[How is this possible!?]

Luffy's persistence had completely won over everyone...

At this moment, all viewers watching the live broadcast were unanimously shocked!

A profound horror seized everyone's hearts.

They couldn't fathom how Luffy could still be standing.

What unimaginable willpower lay hidden within his slender frame?

Even the likes of Whitebeard, Shanks, Kaido, Sengoku—the four heavyweights—whether they supported Luffy or not, wanted him to win or not.

At this moment, they were all astounded by his repeated defiance... Who else could exhibit such an unwavering spirit, refusing to admit defeat and never falling?

Merely through this extraordinary determination, Luffy had instantly captivated countless hearts.

The heavyweights were astonished, feeling that in the future, Luffy would undoubtedly make a mark!

Standing at the pinnacle of the sea!

["Lucci is acting strangely!"]

[Luffy, back on his feet, shouted in anger while spitting out blood.]

[Exerting all his strength, he unleashed his final move!]

["Rubber Machine Gun!"]

[Countless fists manifested at this moment!]

[With the second gear mode's blessing, they became even more dense and terrifying, as if the space was filled with Luffy's red fists!]

[On the other side, Lucci...]

[Shocked to see Luffy stand up again, he forgot to defend at this moment!]

[Or rather... The prolonged battle, combined with the consecutive use of the Six Kings Gun, had almost depleted his strength.]

[So, in this moment, he didn't dodge but subconsciously activated Tekkai!]

["Tekkai!"]

[However, even with Tekkai activated, it was of no use at this moment!]

[Hit continuously by Luffy's countless fists, the huge force was relentless...]

[Lucci's iron was shattered, and he spat out blood, the more he coughed, the more it poured out!]

[Under the dense fists, there was no chance to catch a breath.]

[Luffy, fighting with sheer instinct, continued the machine gun assault without the slightest pause, squeezing out the last trace of his strength!]

[And so, after enduring countless punches...]

[Lucci was finally struck on the head by Luffy's last punch!]

[Then, with immense force, he crashed through the wall and flew backward towards the outside...]

[Lucci fell heavily to the ground, eyes rolling, covered in blood.]

[At this moment, he succumbed to Luffy's onslaught that had drained all his strength...]

[Completely unconscious!]

[This also meant that Lucci, the strongest killing machine in CP9 history...]

[Was officially defeated!]

[And the one who defeated him was none other than... Monkey D. Luffy!]

At this moment...

The entire world erupted in excitement!

No one expected such a spectacular battle to end like this! Lucci, who had always dominated, was defeated in such a manner?

And Luffy, on the brink of collapse, unleashed an astonishing force in the last moments...

Turning the tables...

All of this was unbelievable!

Marine headquarters!

"Luffy... won?"

Garp was still gazing at the sky in disbelief, unable to fully regain his composure even now.

The surprise had come so suddenly...

When Luffy was repeatedly attacked by Lucci's Six Kings Gun, Garp's heart was more tense than anyone else's.

More agonizing than anyone!

He couldn't suppress the urge to go straight to the World Government, pull Lucci out, and take him down!

After all, there's nothing more maddening than witnessing your own family suffer, but...

Garp never anticipated that Luffy would snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in this state!

Damn, is this battle moving too quickly? I haven't even had time to react...

"Garp, your grandson relied on sheer instinct to attack. I must say, even I was taken aback!"

Sengoku, standing on the side, was also astonished.

He, like Garp, hadn't anticipated that Luffy would win in such a manner! Moreover, he could clearly see that in the final moments, Luffy was completely unconscious.

It was entirely based on the body's instinct to throw a punch, and it didn't cease until the last ounce of strength was exhausted.

In other words, if he couldn't defeat Lucci with this move, then he didn't need Lucci to counterattack...

He would fall himself!

Fortunately, Lucci ultimately failed to counter this move!

Kizaru, Aokiji, Mihawk, and others present—all of them were shocked and surprised!

They were shocked by the unexpected turn of events!

Also shocked that Lucci was defeated...

However, no matter how surprised they were, they weren't bewildered.

At this moment, Akainu's expression was beyond words.

When he saw Luffy about to collapse, he was prepared to celebrate.

But he never expected Luffy to bounce back?

Even in his wildest dreams, he didn't imagine Luffy would knock Lucci down. Could this be real?

At that moment, he wanted to pinch himself to confirm if he was dreaming...

Revolutionaries!

"Cp9... Defeated?"

"The supposed most flawless assassination tool the world government has ever created has fallen?"

"The Straw Hat boy defeated against all odds!?"

The commanders of the five major armies, along with Sabo and others...

They all stared at the sky in bewilderment, their faces reflecting disbelief or shock.

They hadn't anticipated this outcome at all.

Even though Luffy was the son of their own leader, everyone present had hoped for Luffy's victory.

However, the battle unfolded before them, with Luffy visibly pushed to the brink.

The barrage of attacks was painful to witness, not only for themselves but also for Luffy.

Under the final blow, the mighty round of the Six Kings' gun, they expected Luffy to be unconscious, bringing the battle to an abrupt end.

But the unexpected happened... The punch landed swiftly! Luffy emerged victorious!

Defeating Lucci!

After what felt like an eternity, the commanders of the five major armies and other high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army could only express their feelings with a mix of awe and shock: "Truly worthy of the leader's son, such perseverance and combat prowess..."

"It surpasses imagination, and I'm genuinely impressed!"
