Rob Lucci

May arrived in the blink of an eye, and the weather began to get hot. At the Dock One of the Water 7 shipyard, a tall man was carrying a log toward a corner of the factory.

He was wearing a white vest and cargo pants, with a white dove on his left shoulder.

He carried the wood to the side, put it down, and then sat on the box next to him, looking through the blueprints.

But at that moment, two figures walked in. One was strong, tall, and muscular, while the other was a young man of about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, thin, ugly, and with messy hair.

"Lucci, he wants to see you. He says it's important." The tall man walked up to Lucci and pointed to the person next to him.

Looking for me?

Lucci tilted his head and looked at the other person. The pigeon on his shoulder opened its beak and pointed at him, and then a voice rang out, "What do you want?"

"Wow, the pigeon is talking!" the thin figure exclaimed in surprise.

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want?" Lucci looked at the other party, and the pigeon flapped its wings and spoke again.

"So it was ventriloquism."

The thin figure realized the voice came from Lucci, lost interest, and then pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, handing it to Lucci and saying, "Someone asked me to give you this paper."

"Oh?"

Lucci was a little curious, so he picked up the paper, opened it, and stared at it intently.

"Um?"

Lucci's eyes widened instantly. A line of text read, "CP9's Rob Lucci, I know you've been infiltrating Water 7 for nearly five years to obtain the blueprints for Pluton. And I happen to know them, including the Poneglyph recording Pluton's location. If you want them and don't want your infiltration mission to fail, head to the dockyard now. There's a ship there with the number 4 written on it."

How could that be...

This piece of paper contains a wealth of information: my identity, my mission, and my location.

His identity alone was unknown to anyone in Water 7 except his colleagues.

Even the mayor of Water 7 Spade, was unaware of the existence of CP9, only knowing about CP1 through CP8.

Moreover, they knew how long they had been undercover, nearly five years, and even the details of their mission.

Only CP0, CP9, and the highest levels of the World Government know this.

Not only that, he even knew the Pluton Blueprints and the location of Pluton.

Who wrote the note?

"Who sent you to give this to me?" Rob Lucci stood up, looking at the person opposite him with a cold gaze.

"Lucci, what's written on the paper?" the burly man asked curiously.

Lucci shook his head and said, "Bazz, it's nothing."

"But you don't look well? Is something wrong? I can help you," Bazz said to Lucci.

"Bazz."

Lucci saw that Bazz wasn't leaving, his face darkened and his fists clenched involuntarily, but he immediately said, "I can handle it, it's just a bit troublesome, you go ahead."

"If you can't solve it, come find me again." Bazz scratched his head and turned to leave.

"Tell me, who gave you the note?" Lucci, looking at the figure in front of him.

"A man gave these to me and asked me to give them to you," the young man said, shrugging.

Where is that person?

Lucci looked at the young man and asked coldly.

The young man yawned and said, "We should go now."

"Take me to the place where he met you." Lucci looked at the other person coldly.

"I can't take you with me."

The young man suddenly smiled and said, "There's another note. That person told me that if you don't plan to go right away, he'll give you this note."

As he spoke, he took out another slip of paper and handed it to Lucci.

"This is?"

Lucci frowned upon seeing the note. It read, "Mr. Lucci, please do not attempt to do anything else. Please arrive at the agreed location within ten minutes. Remember, you must be alone. Do not contact anyone else, and please do not communicate with anyone in any way. Trust me, I can see your every move. And please rest assured, your safety will not be threatened in the slightest."

He can see his every move, so there must be people around him.

Lucci looked around. There were dozens of shipwrights around him, most of them working, and only a few people were looking at him. However, he couldn't tell whether they were monitoring him or not, and if they were monitoring him, they might not be looking at him directly.

Damn it.

Lucci found himself in a predicament; he couldn't contact his colleagues and had to board the ship and leave now according to their orders.

So what did the other person want with me? What did they want to discuss? And why did they guarantee my safety?

What if it's a trap?

However, the other side knows so much information that just exposing it would be enough to ruin their nearly five-year mission.

Not only that, they also knew what he wanted: the blueprints for Pluton, Lucci couldn't refuse.

In addition, Lucci had confidence in his own abilities.

The mission cannot be disrupted, and Pluton is too important.

I have no choice but to go and see who you really are!

Lucci snorted coldly and walked away into the distance, leaving Dock One and coming outside.

There were many ships anchored there, one of which had the number 4 written on its hull.

Is this it?

Lucci this, he walked toward the large ship, discreetly tossing down two pieces of paper with his right hand. He then climbed the stairs and found many figures standing on the deck.

"Are you Mr. Lucci? I'm the captain of this cargo ship. I heard you want to board?" a figure asked, looking at Lucci.

"Take a boat?"

Lucci paused slightly, realizing that the ship might not know their exact identity either, and then said, "That's right, but where are you going? Are you sure it's on the way?"

The captain said with a smile, "We're going to the Kingdom of Daglish, and we'll take you with us."

"That's right, I'm going to the Kingdom of Daglish."

Lucci nodded, walked to the ship's side, made a gesture with his right hand, and then said nothing more.

This ship is a cargo ship that has only stopped here by chance. It may not know the identity of the person looking for it, so all we can do is wait and see.

The ship sailed further and further away from Water 7. Lucci judged the direction of their journey and confirmed that they were indeed heading towards the Kingdom of Daglish.

What organizations are there?

Lucci pondered the information about that place, even though he had been working undercover in Water 7 for nearly five years.

But in reality, he was still receiving intelligence information.

However, the information he received was not detailed; he was only told about some major events, but not about reaching the Kingdom of Daglish.

There's no need to know any other minor details.

I didn't find any major changes in the Kingdom of Daglish in the newspapers.

So why is the destination the Kingdom of Daglish?

Is that the final destination? What exactly is the Destination Organization?

In this world, only key personnel of the World Government are capable of knowing this information, but they wouldn't use this method.

Apart from that, probably only the Revolutionary Army could do this in terms of information.

Or perhaps the Four Emperors and several Great Pirate groups.

As Lucci pondered the identity of the mastermind, the captain approached and said, "Mr. Lucci, the wind is getting stronger. Why don't we go to the cabin and rest for a while?"

Lucci glanced at the captain, intending to refuse, but then nodded and said, "Okay."

The captain led Lucci off the deck and into the cabin, into a room. "You can rest here for a while. We can reach the Kingdom of Daglish in two days."

"Good."

Lucci entered the room but found it empty. He went inside, closed the door, and sat on the bed, searching through the room.

No information.

Am I just being paranoid, or is he just telling me to rest?

Lucci sat there, frowning as he thought.

It seems we'll only find out when we get there.

Lucci sighed and sat down to rest, but remained vigilant at all times.

Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was afternoon.

Lucci was resting with his eyes closed when suddenly, with a loud bang, the entire ship slammed into the ground, and the hull rocked violently.

Um?

Lucci swung his body violently, crashing into the side of the cabin, but he managed to stick out a finger and press it against the deck to steady himself.

What happened?

Lucci pushed the door open and walked out.

The next moment, he saw a scene that he could hardly believe.

The ship cracked open.

In the middle of the passageway, the ship was completely torn apart, splitting into two halves. Only at the rear was there a small connection, but as the ship sank, it was gradually breaking apart.

The half of the boat he was standing on was sinking diagonally into the water.

What exactly happened?

Why did the ship split open?

Lucci observed the crack and discovered a large hole there.

Judging from the direction of the crack and the opening, it must have been hit by something, at least a marine creature that is sixty to seventy meters long.

But the question is, why did the keel break? It snapped completely in two. What kind of sea fish could have such power?

Lucci looked puzzled, but as the ship sank little by little, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and his body disappeared in an instant. He appeared on the deck from the broken section and looked around.

Several figures fell into the water; some were in a panic, while others clung to the mast. The captain ordered his men to lower the small boat.

Lucci walked to the side of the boat and looked underwater, only to find that there was nothing there.

First, leave the large ship.

Lucci leaped to the mast and unleashed a powerful right-hand strike.

Click.

The mast fell directly into the sea and floated on the water.

Lucci stepped directly onto the mast and steadied himself.

The crew members who had fallen in saw the mast, swam over immediately, and climbed aboard.

Lucci didn't stop them; instead, he pulled them all up.

It would be difficult for him to return alone. He is Devil Fruit User, and if he falls into the trap, things will get very difficult.

Lucci stood on the mast, waiting quietly.

The ship slowly sank, leaving only a few wooden barrels, a mast, and two small boats on the surface of the sea.

"Captain, have you seen what damaged the ship?"

Lucci jumped onto the small boat and looked at the captain, asking him a question.

"No, no one else..."

The captain looked around, and a crew member said, "I was on lookout duty when I saw a dark shadow underwater that crashed into the ship."

"A shadowy figure? Describe it." Lucci looked at the other person.

The crew member scratched his head and said, "It's completely black, has a shark-like dorsal fin, is enormous, has a large head, and a thin tail. That's all."

"A rather thin tail?" Lucci asked, puzzled. "Doesn't it have a tail fin?"

The crew member said, "No, I can confirm that. From above, I only saw a thin shadow of the tail."

"This creature."

Lucci was somewhat confused, as most sea fish, sea beasts Sea King have tail fins.

Fish without tail fins are rare and somewhat unusual, but they do exist. For example, eels have only a small tail fin, just a ring, which looks almost like they don't have one.

The problem is that sea fish of the order Eriocheiridae do not have such a large dorsal fin.

Lucci was puzzled, not knowing what kind of creature it was. He looked at the captain and asked, "What should we do next?"

"Let's head towards Water 7. I'll contact someone to pick us up. There are several islands there, and I know their locations well, so we can rest there."

As the captain spoke, he took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and made a call.

But at that moment, Lucci's ears twitched, and he suddenly stomped his feet, leaping high into the air.

The next moment, he saw a dark shadow shooting towards him from a distance, its dorsal fin slowly emerging as it moved forward.

It was extremely fast, and as soon as its dorsal fin emerged, it crashed into the small boat.

Splash!

The small boat shattered completely, and the people on board were thrown out.

"It's you?"

Looking at the figure beneath him, Lucci recognized it: the massive ram, the towering dorsal fin, and the legs on either side of its body.

Only that sea monster that attacked Alabasta and then killed Vice Admiral Onigumo.

Is Robin targeting me?

With her abilities, perhaps she can do that.

Seeing this, Lucci gritted his teeth, took two steps in the air, and leaped high into the air. Then his body expanded and transformed into a giant leopard-man who was three and a half meters tall.

He clenched his fists in front of him, then turned his body upside down, took a deep breath, and then kicked his legs in the air, shooting downwards.

The Rokushiki Ogi, the Maximum Wheel Rokuogan.

This is his most powerful move, so powerful that it can penetrate thick city walls.

However, this was the first time he had used this move in mid-air. He couldn't use it in this environment, so he could only use the force of his falling body to barely manage to use it, which caused considerable damage to his body.

This Sea King could even kill Vice Admiral Onigumo, so I might not be its match.

Therefore, I must use my strongest move to attack him.

Lucci descended from the sky, pouncing on Xia Qiu. Upon getting close, he clenched his fists and slammed them down on Xia Qiu's head.

Smash his head and kill him.

This is Lucci's only way out.

boom.

The fist landed on Xia Qiu's forehead, a loud bang was heard, the Shockwave spread out, and the waves exploded.

Click.

Lucci's arms were severed, his body flew high into the air, he coughed up blood, and slowly fell to the ground.

How could that be?

This Sea King is very strong. Although the force of its impact was slightly less than that of my Rokuogan, the problem is that it has almost exhausted its forward momentum.

He crashed into a boat, surged forward for a distance, slowed down, and was about to enter the sea.

Realizing it was attacking, it simply raised its head and charged upwards.

It's important to understand that while water provides buoyancy, it can't support the body, making it difficult to fully utilize one's strength.

However, the way he raised his head was so powerful that even a large Sea King might not be able to do it.

Moreover, its head is exceptionally hard, harder than iron; it is confident that it can crush at least one Tekkai.

But it couldn't do any harm to him.

I anticipated it would be strong, but I didn't expect it to be this strong.

How could there be such a powerful Sea King?

No wonder Onigumo Vice Admiral die.

Based on this, it seems that Nico Robin wants to kill him.

But how did she learn about her own affairs, and how did she know about Pluton and Pluton location?

She has at least infiltrated the World Government, or someone has betrayed her, which is an extremely terrifying fact.

If she truly possesses information about Pluton...

Lucci suddenly felt fear. Pluton could destroy an island with a single cannonball, not to mention the Sea King in the ocean, which even Vice Admiral couldn't defeat.

Given Robin's hatred for the World Government, the World Government may face its greatest crisis ever.

Lucci to steady himself and stand up in mid-air using Geppo, but he coughed up a mouthful of blood and crashed into the sea.

"It's over."

Lucci knew he was doomed. As Devil Fruit User, he was powerless underwater. He could barely move his arm, but he was no match for the Sea King.

His body plummeted downwards, awaiting death.

He left arrangements so that if he didn't show up, at least the other members of CP9 would be alerted, and the World Government might even be drawn to the matter.

My death could bring a huge crisis to the surface, and that would be worthwhile.

As for my own death, it was because I was too weak.

Lucci, and slowly closed his eyes.

But unexpectedly, a submarine slowly rose up beside him.

submarine?

Lucci opened his eyes and stared at the submarine, feeling that it looked somewhat familiar.

The submarine surfaced, then opened its hatch, and several figures jumped out, entered the sea, reached the bottom, grabbed him, and swam towards the surface.

Not kill yourself?

Once we reach the sea, we'll have a chance.

Lucci this, he held his breath, but at that moment, the submarine submerged again and disappeared into the seawater. The two figures grabbed Lu Qi and came to the top of the submarine.

This place is still underwater, but there is a huge cage at the top and back.

This is?

Lucci was somewhat puzzled, but the two pushed him inside and locked the cell door.

Then the submarine slowly rose to the surface, and seawater came out of the cage. Once the cage was completely above the water, the seawater flowed out.

Lucci now knew what the cage was.

Without seawater, he was still completely powerless, so it was no doubt that this cage was made of Seastone.

It seems they don't want to die; their goal is to capture me.

Lucci snorted, but then his eyes narrowed. In that case, he might not necessarily die.

On the contrary, CP9 may be able to arrest all the masterminds behind the scenes.

Lucci closed his eyes, waiting to reach his destination.

Where they left, all the crew members were swallowed by the Sea King.
