Rob Lucci vs Uchiha Shisui

"Where on earth did these monsters come from!"

Kaku was currently locked in a bitter struggle.

The main issue was that these enemies refused to engage him head-on, and the techniques he had mastered were completely unable to pose any threat to them.

His only long-range attack was Rankyaku.

He couldn't land a hit on his opponents; every now and then, his vision would blur, and what he thought was a kick landing on a target would turn out to be a wooden log or a stone.

Just a slight contact, and my arm is almost paralyzed.

Close-quarters combat is definitely not a suitable choice.

Itachi, on his side, was also fully focused.

The battle between the ninjas and these CP9 members was similar to the battles between the Survey Corps and the Titans in Attack on Titan.

The Survey Corps were agile and had the chance to kill Titans, but they absolutely could not afford a single mistake.

One mistake, and they could be killed instantly by a Titan!

"Let's try the new technique Shisui developed."

"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"

Itachi had grasped the situation and had no intention of continuing the fight.

The opponent's moves were repetitive and limited.

Aside from the physical enhancements gained after transforming into a giraffe, their standard techniques were actually quite few.

This battle had already served its purpose of gauging the combat capabilities of people in this world, and Itachi felt there was no need to continue; all the data had been firmly recorded by his Sharingan.

Kaku, who was twisting his head to find where Itachi was hiding, suddenly lost focus, his mind drifting back to his training days at the CP9 base.

At this moment, Itachi had already used Body Flicker to appear in front of Kaku, raising his short sword, ready to stab into Kaku's abdomen.

"Bang!"

But just before the blade could strike, Rob Lucci appeared and kicked Itachi, sending him flying directly through a nearby building, where he was buried under the rubble.

"What are you doing, Kaku!"

Rob Lucci looked at Kaku with a gloomy expression.

Without Itachi's continuous mental output, Kaku snapped out of it immediately and instantly understood what had happened.

"This guy used a strange technique!"

Kaku hurriedly defended himself.

At the same time, seeing Rob Lucci return, he breathed a sigh of relief.

These enemies were too tricky, and with two others watching like tigers eyeing their prey, he couldn't focus at all.

"Itachi!"

Izumi, on the side, noticed Itachi being sent flying and couldn't help but lose her focus, calling out in worry.

"An opening!"

Blueno closed in on Izumi, his fists thrusting out like bullets.

But suddenly, he felt his entire body go numb.

Looking down, he discovered a kunai carrying an electric current had pierced his right calf.

"Don't lose focus, Izumi."

Uchiha Tamaharu said coldly.

Izumi was startled.

As for Blueno, his body had already recovered; after all, his physical constitution was completely different from people in the Shinobi World.

A single kunai with an electric current wasn't enough to make him lose his combat effectiveness.

He raised his hand again and punched Izumi.

"Bang!"

"Huh?"

Blueno looked at the Izumi in front of him turning into smoke, stunned for a moment.

"Swish, swish, swish."

A wire mesh instantly erupted from the ground, trapping Blueno directly.

Izumi, hiding in a corner, pulled on the wires.

This was a trap she had prepared, though her distraction over Itachi was also real.

"Dragon Fire Technique!"

Izumi immediately used a Fire Style jutsu.

A fire dragon surged directly along the wires, rushing toward Blueno.

Blueno wanted to use his ability to escape, but the time required to open a space door was simply insufficient.

Before the fire dragon could strike him, a bubble blocked his path.

However, the bubble was no match for a Fire Style technique imbued with nature transformation; it was pierced instantly, and the fire dragon set Blueno ablaze, though its power was significantly reduced.

"Who are you people!"

Rob Lucci glared at Uchiha Tamaharu and Shisui with a grim expression.

He had actually intended to move and save Blueno just now, but the moment his body stirred, he sensed danger.

It came from the two people standing not far ahead of him.

"Retreat, gather here."

Uchiha Tamaharu, however, ignored Rob Lucci and issued a direct order.

Hearing the command, Yashiro, Izumi, and the others immediately abandoned the fight and returned behind Uchiha Tamaharu.

Fukuro and the others hesitated for a moment before choosing to stand beside Rob Lucci.

Meanwhile, Itachi crawled out from the ruins; he wasn't injured because he had used the Susanoo.

However, having just awakened his eyes, he wasn't proficient yet, so he had still sustained some injuries.

But soon, the expressions of Rob Lucci and his team turned to rage.

Because they saw Kalifa being dragged out of an alley by her throat.

They were stunned for a moment, realizing that the person holding Kalifa by the throat looked exactly like the man standing not far away giving orders.

"This is what happens to a Devil Fruit user when their abilities are restricted by Seastone; they have almost no power to resist."

"Poof."

Uchiha Tamaharu spoke.

At the same time, he dispelled his Shadow Clone.

He had kept a Shadow Clone hidden in the shadows, and upon seeing Kalifa move to rescue Blueno, it had easily snuck up beside her and cuffed her with Seastone shackles.

If even Marco the Phoenix couldn't function while shackled, Kalifa, who had only recently eaten her Devil Fruit, was even more helpless; she was drained of all strength and easily subdued by the Shadow Clone.

Kalifa looked unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

"What is your goal? Speak!"

Rob Lucci asked coldly, his face dark.

He could sense that these people before him were not from the World Government; otherwise, they wouldn't need to waste so much time.

Furthermore, the World Government had issued a kill order for them, so there would be no need to capture Kalifa alive.

"I want to find a sparring partner for him."

"Shisui, is your body up for it?"

Uchiha Tamaharu said directly, then turned to ask Shisui beside him.

Rob Lucci's strength was roughly on par with Sixth Gate Guy.

For a Shisui in perfect condition, this would be no problem at all.

However, since he was currently injured and unable to exert his full strength, it was uncertain.

But Rob Lucci was also injured, which was why Uchiha Tamaharu asked Shisui; neither side was at their peak.

"No problem."

Shisui nodded.

Itachi looked at Shisui with concern, while Izumi looked worriedly at the blood trickling from the corner of Itachi's mouth.

"Do you not consider the possibility of failure, that you might all die here by doing something like this!"

Rob Lucci had his own pride.

Being looked down upon and treated as a mere sparring partner—how could he not be furious?

Having lost to Luffy once had already brought him to the brink of explosion.

Now, these unknown fools actually dared to challenge him.

"Win against him, and I'll let her go."

Uchiha Tamaharu didn't waste words, speaking with concise clarity.

Calmness is the first requirement of a ninja.

"You're asking for death!"

Rob Lucci was incensed.

However, he did not grow careless; he didn't have any intelligence on these people, so he immediately entered his Hybrid Form.

His body transformed into a half-human, half-beast state.

Then, he used Soru and charged straight toward Shisui.

"So fast!"

Itachi, Izumi, and the others were all startled.

They realized that this person's movement speed was on an entirely different level compared to the enemy they had just dealt with.
