Lucci's Past Revealed, the Four Emperors Quietly Fan the Flames

Comments from people stunned by Luffy's Gear Third immediately popped up on the screen. {Whoa! Where did that giant hand get its power? Could it be from the air he blew into it? That... that's unbelievable!}

{A giant's hand? It really does look like one! But it seems a lot stronger than an ordinary giant's!}

{Gear Second boosts his speed, and Gear Third boosts his strength. He's really making full use of his fruit's abilities! Straw Hat Luffy has done a good job developing his fruit!}

{Gear Third is really powerful... wait, after Straw Hat Luffy used Gear Third earlier, he seemed to shrink for a while. Won't he be in danger if he doesn't finish Lucci off now?}

In the video, Luffy punched Lucci onto a warship, where a group of Marines immediately surrounded him and demanded to know who he was.

Having returned to his human form, Lucci ignored the men he regarded as trash. Instead, he stared murderously at the room he had just been knocked out of.

Seeing Lucci ignore them, the Marines prepared to pull the triggers of their rifles, but their superior stopped them. He berated them, asking how they could point their guns at the esteemed Lord Lucci of CP9.

The mere mention of Lucci's name terrified the Marine soldiers present. They stared at him in fear and fell to their knees, begging Lord Lucci to overlook their offenses and not hold it against them.

The next second, Rob Lucci's past was revealed to the world.

Fifteen years earlier, pirates had invaded a country and taken five hundred soldiers captive. Lucci, who had been only thirteen at the time, had stormed the pirates' lair alone and killed all five hundred soldiers, as well as the pirate captain.

In an instant, Lucci's cruelty and ruthlessness were laid bare before the world.

Comments from people frightened by Lucci's past immediately appeared on the screen. {Th... thirteen years old, and he killed that many people? And they were soldiers of a country, too! Th... they still let someone like that into the World Government? Shouldn't he have become a pirate instead?}

{How is what Rob Lucci did any different from what pirates do? Ah! No, most pirates haven't killed as many people as he has.}

{He could even bring himself to kill ordinary soldiers. No wonder he was so calm when the Buster Call's shells fell on his own comrades. He never saw them as people in the first place!}

{As expected, ordinary people can't get into a World Government intelligence organization like CP9. Every one of them is ruthless!}

In the video, Lucci ignored the Marine soldiers and resumed his fight with Luffy, who had caught up to him.

Luffy first used Gum-Gum Giant Axe, stomping the warship Lucci stood on clean in half.

However, it didn't hurt Lucci. He easily dodged it with Soru.

He then appeared on a mast above the warship and sent a Rankyaku at Luffy. After Luffy dodged it, Lucci transformed into his beast form and lunged to bite him.

Unable to dodge in time, Luffy was bitten on the shoulder, and blood immediately began to flow.

But Luffy soon inflated his Bone Balloon, forcing Lucci away. He followed up with Gum-Gum Giant Whip, sweeping his leg through the mast Lucci was on and smashing it to pieces.

But he was too slow, and Lucci easily dodged again.

Lucci then used Geppo to stay airborne and casually fired Shigan Bachi at Luffy. A bullet of air shot from his fingernail and struck the shoulder he had bitten earlier, making the already serious wound even worse.

Then Lucci used an extremely fast Geppo to appear behind Luffy and point out the flaw in his Gear Third: his strength had indeed increased, but his speed had also dropped.

He kicked Luffy onto the warship below, then unleashed Rankyaku: Kicking Bird at him as he lay on the ship. A bird-shaped slash flew toward Luffy.

Luffy hurriedly turned sideways and narrowly dodged it, but the slash still cut through the warship's iron outer deck.

That gave the Marines present a tremendous fright.

They couldn't stay on this ship!

Just then, however, a cannonball suddenly landed on their warship, sending flames leaping up and smoke billowing everywhere.

At first, the Marines aboard thought another warship had fired by mistake.

But they soon realized that the guns of the warship that had fired the shell were aimed directly at their ship. Their ship had been the target of the bombardment from the start.

The man who had given the order was the Marine Vice Admiral aboard that warship, Onigumo.

He had even shot a Marine soldier who refused to obey his order.

Comments discussing the scene instantly appeared on the screen. {A Marine Vice Admiral just casually shot an ordinary soldier in front of his subordinates. Is... is nobody going to do anything about this? Or are all the Marines like this now?}

{They're casually bombarding their own comrades just because there's a pirate on the Marine warship. Do they have any humanity left?}

{Th... this is the so-called "justice" the Marines talk about? How is this any different from pirates who kill civilians at will?!}

{I don't know why, but I'm numb to it now! Nothing the Marines or the World Government do next will surprise me!}

{Worororo, the Marines and the World Government are almost stripped down to their underwear!} Kaido mocked.

{Mamamama, Kaido, don't you know that if you have enough pairs of underwear, you don't have to be afraid of being stripped? The World Government and the Marines have done plenty more things that would outrage gods and men alike. They aren't afraid of being stripped, either.} Big Mom spoke meaningfully.

{Worororo, Linlin, are you talking about that incident back then? If that gets exposed too, I wonder how the World Government and the Marines will deal with it!} Kaido said, catching her meaning.

{Mamamama, Kaido, that's not something we need to worry about! All we have to do is sit back and watch. Everything the God from Beyond the Domain shows next will be interesting.} Big Mom spoke excitedly.

{Worororo, it'll be very interesting indeed. Let's wait and see!}
