"Let's get in the way here, let's go find a more spacious place!"
Since the mission hadn't reached the point where he needed to forcibly reveal his identity to complete it, Lucci naturally didn't want to show his true strength in the city.
He forced himself to stand up with Kaku's help, and after leaving the bath, he took a deep breath, as if his mental state had suddenly returned to its peak.
"The God can deal with you right here, in just a moment, without needing to find another place."
Enel didn't stand up; in his eyes, the brat opposite him was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
Lucci did not reply, but his whole body exuded a strong killing intent. Since he joined CP9, he had never been humiliated like this!
"Enel, he might be a future shipwright, let's give him a chance!"
"Alright, you guys choose the location."
Cifer spoke, Enel lazily got up and casually walked past Lucci as if he didn't exist.
"Lucci! It's pitch black outside right now, so even if we fight, it won't be as exciting. I think we should find another time to fight!"
Kaku was still trying to persuade him.
He had great faith in Lucci's strength, and at the same time, he had heard about the strength of the two people in front of him.
To some extent, CP9 and the Shichibukai are both part of the government, and even if the other side is someone who never listens to orders, they shouldn't be fighting amongst themselves.
"Darkness is not a problem, I will naturally provide you with light. Also, young people should not casually refer to themselves as old men."
"Otherwise, I might be unhappy if I hear that."
Cifer lifted Chopper out of the bathtub, then patted Kaku on the shoulder and walked out.
"Lucci ..."
"No need to say anything more, I want to see what they're really made of."
Lucci's fighting spirit and anger were ignited, and Kaku could only accept it calmly. It probably wouldn't develop into a life-or-death battle; he could just treat it as a training exercise.
That's how they all got through it.
"Let's go to that cape where your pirate ship docked, or we'll fall behind!"
After Lucci and Kaku left, they took flight and disappeared from sight at an incredible speed.
"Captain Cifer, you're not going to do anything bad so late at night, are you?"
Just then, Nolan, who was drying his hair, came out of the women's bath and saw the three people who had changed their clothes and were about to leave. Chopper was carrying a medkit on his back.
"Nolan! I'm telling you..."
"We'll talk about it when we get back!"
Just as Chopper was about to tell her what had happened, Enel grabbed him and lifted him up.
Ah~
Chopper, who was perched on Enel's head, kept screaming and disappeared in Inazuma.
"It's just that someone deserved a beating, you guys can rest easy."
Unlike Enel, Cifer didn't go through any trouble; he simply tore through space and went inside.
Enel and Chopper arrived at the cape after waiting for more than ten seconds, followed by a long wait of several minutes.
"You're really slow, kid. God are about to go to sleep!"
As the two of them landed, Enel yawned, looking impatient and disgusted.
It was easy for Cifer to tell from their expressions that they had probably been thoroughly humiliated by Enel on the way.
Where is the light you mentioned?
Under the moonlight, one could vaguely see the veins bulging on Lucci's forehead as he looked at Cifer.
"Look, he's getting anxious again."
"Hadō #31: Crimson Fire Cannon!"
A fireball suddenly appeared in Cifer's palm and grew larger and larger. In just a moment, it became as dazzling as a small sun.
However, the scorching hot air caused everyone present to be drenched in sweat in an instant.
"Alright, let's begin!"
With a flick of his finger, a fireball was suspended high in the night sky, enough to illuminate half the cape.
Lucci remained silent, simply taking off his coat and assuming a fighting stance, while Enel lazily stood in place and beckoned to him with his finger.
"Shave!"
Shigan!
Lucci, who vanished in an instant, stabbed Enel with his finger in the shape of a gun, but the finger passed straight through Enel's body without harming him in the slightest.
"I almost forgot, you're a Logia Devil Fruit User."
Lucci was somewhat irritated. With his current abilities, the only move he could possibly use to injure Logia was that one, but he had no chance of actually using it.
He had no way to restrict the other party's actions.
"What's wrong, kid? Could it be that you're completely unable to encounter the God?"
Enel, though still arrogant, became slightly more interested. Lucci's speed in that instant alone surpassed that of most people he had ever seen.
"Since it's a shipwright whom that bastard captain has taken a liking to, I don't need to use my elemental transformation ability."
He spread his hands, and his relaxed and indifferent tone only fueled Lucci's anger.
"Damn it! Don't wait until you're dead to regret it!"
His bones creaked and Lucci body began to swell. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a leopard-like beast with a height of over 2 meters and a burly build.
"Rankyaku!"
"Flying Finger Pistol - Draw!"
Lucci unleashed a swift, arcing attack with his leopard leg at Enel, who easily dodged it. Meanwhile, Lucci continued to flick his fingers, launching attacks that resembled air bullets.
"Too slow!"
Enel strolled leisurely amidst Lucci's Flying Finger Pistol, steadily approaching him.
"Idiot, that's exactly what I've been waiting for—for you to come closer!"
"Um?"
When it reached Lucci, the Leopard Tail wrapped around Enel's body, and then its two leopard fists slammed into the latter's chest.
"Rokushiki Ogi: Rokuogan!"
A faint sense of crisis lingered in Enel's mind, and he reached out and grabbed the other's arms.
Lucci's arm muscles contracted violently, and a tremendous force emanated from his fist, slamming into Enel with a loud thud.
However...
"How is that possible..."
The leopard's face was filled with disbelief, because in front of him, the man was covered with Armament Haki as strong as steel!
"If I were to take that blow head-on, it might hurt a bit!"
Enel exerted force with both hands, Lucci felt as if his arms were being clamped by two incredibly hard pincers. The intense pain made him struggle to break free.
"Rankyaku!"
The arc-shaped impact struck Enel's Armament Haki, but failed to leave any mark; instead, it enraged him.
"Tekkai & Steel!"
As Lucci unleashed the Six Powers, Enel swung his arms, repeatedly slamming him to the ground, causing the area where the two were standing to crack and crumble.
"Pretty hard~"
Enel naturally noticed his stiff, iron-like body and flung him into the air with a backhand.
Lucci seized the opportunity, using Geppo to jump repeatedly into the air, trying to widen the distance between the two.
"Gone?!"
As Lucci continued to leap into the air, he discovered that his opponent, who had been standing on the ground, had vanished without a trace!
"Lucci, up there!"
Kaku's gaze was fixed on Lucci, and he naturally noticed Enel suddenly appearing above him, so he quickly shouted a warning.
"We're doomed!"
When Lucci turned his head, a long leg was already about to swat at his face.
Have you ever been Lightning Kick?
