Diable Jambe, Shoe Miasma!

"Chopper, take Luffy and go first."

Nico Robin said this with a determined gaze.

Last time, everyone had rescued her from the hands of these people.

This time, it was her turn to save everyone!

"Robin, you can't do this alone!"

Chopper was extremely anxious.

He also had the thought of staying behind to protect everyone.

"None of you are escaping!"

Rob Lucci narrowed his eyes, scanning the Straw Hat Crew.

There were still large groups of cannon fodder around, stalling the members of the CP organization.

It annoyed him, so he unleashed a few Rankyaku, sweeping away a large swath of Pirates.

Last time, against that big guy with the red eyes, he hadn't even had the chance to display his true strength before being shackled by the opponent.

After loosening up, Rob Lucci felt his mood improve slightly.

He then used Soru to charge directly toward the Straw Hat Crew.

Sanji naturally wouldn't let a lady be harmed, so he stepped up, kicking toward Rob Lucci with Diable Jambe.

Rob Lucci didn't fear the high heat generated by the fermented swamp gas in the shoes at all, striking directly with a fist reinforced by Tekkai.

Sanji's strength was simply no match for Rob Lucci, and he was sent flying.

"Nico Robin, it's all because of you, woman!"

Rob Lucci looked at Nico Robin not far away, his expression icy.

He had never imagined that he would be defeated by Pirates while trying to capture this woman, leading to so much humiliation afterward.

Nico Robin's expression remained cold; she was no longer afraid.

She raised her hand, preparing to unleash her ability.

But she grabbed at thin air; her ability required her to sense the opponent's position or see them to be used.

Rob Lucci had vanished from his spot, and she couldn't track him at all.

When Rob Lucci reappeared, he had already reached Nico Robin's side, swinging his claws, ready to strike the woman.

"Stop."

Uchiha Tamaharu's voice rang out as well.

Rob Lucci's body stopped uncontrollably, but he regained control of his body in less than two seconds.

At the same time, his eyes flared with ferocity; he naturally recognized this voice as the man who had treated him like nothing.

Since you want me to stop, I won't stop!

The same trick wouldn't work on him again.

"Purgatory."

Seeing that Rob Lucci was fearless, Uchiha Tamaharu didn't hold back.

His Three Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, transforming into the shape of the Mangekyo, and he directly used his ocular technique.

Rob Lucci stiffened in place once more, unable to move.

Purgatory consisted of eight types of hell: Mountain of Blades, Sea of Fire, Iceberg, Oil Cauldron, Dismemberment, Lingchi, Solitude, and Avici.

Each use was a random hell, forcing the victim to experience a full day of such agony within the mental world, though in reality, only five to ten seconds usually passed; those with strong spirits could break free faster.

Nico Robin felt the danger emanating from the man before her.

However, Uchiha Tamaharu didn't give her much time to be confused, directly shackling her with Seastone handcuffs before she could even react.

Sanji rushed over, only to be immediately electrocuted into unconsciousness.

"Everyone!!"

Nami was very anxious, her eyes filled with panic.

At this moment, the only combat power remaining by her side was that pervert Franky.

Meanwhile, Chopper had already run off with Luffy.

She became the next target, and Uchiha Tamaharu easily tied her up.

"Nami!"

Lola rushed over, only to be kicked away by Kaku, who had just arrived.

"Heh heh heh."

At the same time, Rob Lucci woke up from Purgatory.

His eyes were filled with terror, and he clutched his shoulders with both hands, feeling at his own neck.

He had entered the Dismemberment Hell.

His body was continuously being severed; he would lose all sensation in his limbs, only to feel them again moments later.

Then, he would be cut apart all over again!

Even an elite killer like him, who had taken countless lives, was driven to the brink of a mental breakdown by this Purgatory.

"I haven't even used this technique on a Shichibukai, so using it on you feels like a bit of a waste."

Uchiha Tamaharu watched Rob Lucci calmly.

In Rob Lucci's eyes, however, there was nothing but terror as he looked at Uchiha Tamaharu.

Because within the illusion, the man who was constantly severing his limbs and head was none other than this man himself.

"Let me go!!"

"Luffy!"

"Let me go, you bastard!!"

Over on Chopper's side, he had been captured by members of the Uchiha clan; he struggled powerlessly, looking quite comical.

He was shackled with Seastone handcuffs, as was the unconscious Luffy.

These Seastone handcuffs had been taken from the Navy warships. Since they had come to capture CP9, they knew there would be many Devil Fruit users, so they had naturally prepared plenty of them.

Uchiha Tamaharu had swiped them all; in the first half of the Grand Line, these things were truly incredibly useful.

"Luffy-san!"

Brook was struggling to lead the Pirates in resisting the attacks of the other CP9 members. Seeing Luffy captured, he became extremely agitated and charged through the CP9 offensive.

Then, he was shackled as well.

In the end, only Franky remained to lead the Pirates in resistance, but they were simply unable to hold off the attacks from CP9.

"Take these guys to the castle."

Uchiha Tamaharu commanded his clansmen to haul the Straw Hat Crew away.

This included Franky, whose arms and legs had been broken, who was also dragged along.

"Once you've finished dealing with these small fry, come over here as well."

Uchiha Tamaharu then said to the members of CP9, his tone icy cold.

Kaku, having learned what happened from Kumadori, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He had thought that once this mission was over, their connection would end, but he hadn't expected Rob Lucci to do something like this, defying the other party's orders.

Uchiha Tamaharu didn't bother with them further, leading his clansmen to take the Straw Hat Crew back to where Bartholomew Kuma was.

"Lucci, should we run?"

Seeing Uchiha Tamaharu move out of sight, Kaku approached Lucci and asked in a low voice.

But he immediately froze, because he saw that Rob Lucci's eyes were filled with nothing but terror, completely devoid of his usual arrogance and coldness.

This left him stunned on the spot, unable to comprehend how Rob Lucci had ended up in such a state!

"Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Robin, Chopper, Usopp, Franky, and Brook."

Uchiha Tamaharu checked the headcount, confirming everyone was there.

He then ignored them and walked over to Bartholomew Kuma, signaling for Itachi to release the Water Prison Technique.

As the Water Prison Technique was dispelled, Bartholomew Kuma was finally able to move his head, but because he had used his Laser earlier, his mouth and the back of his head had been pierced through; had he not been a cyborg, he would have been dead already.

As it stood, he was merely unable to speak, but his mechanical neck still supported him.

Uchiha Tamaharu then reached directly onto Bartholomew Kuma and pulled out a Den Den Mushi. He had deliberately refrained from using Lightning Style to control him earlier specifically to keep the Den Den Mushi intact.

Uchiha Tamaharu then dialed the Den Den Mushi directly and waited for the connection.

"Has it been resolved?"

"You are indeed more reliable than Moria; you're very fast."

From the other end of the Den Den Mushi came a voice that sounded deep and aged.
