Beat Me, and I'll Tell You

Seeing this, Lucci could not help but be startled. What powerful perception!

But it was already too late to retreat. He could only lock eyes with Xia Zhiqing from afar!

"Rob Lucci. Interesting!"

Xia Zhiqing's lips moved, making Rob Lucci's pupils shrink!

It was their first meeting, yet Xia Zhiqing had directly called out his name! What was going on?!

He could not possibly have seen wrong. Xia Zhiqing's lip movements had clearly formed the six words: "Rob Lucci. Interesting."

Rob Lucci was alarmed. "Could it be that my identity has already been exposed?"

But Xia Zhiqing naturally would not give him the answer so easily!

After all, he intended to use this to negotiate terms with Rob Lucci!

Under Rob Lucci's watchful gaze, he arrived at the shipyard where Rob Lucci was undercover, Galley Company, and said, "Please build me a ship!"

"What kind of ship does the customer require?" Kaku, a World Government spy and shipwright, asked!

"The blueprints are here. Please see whether you can build it!"

Xia Zhiqing took a blueprint from his robes and handed it to Kaku!

"Though it is complicated, it can be done. About one month should be enough to complete it!" Kaku gave his answer after looking it over!

"As expected of Galley Company. You truly are impressive!" Xia Zhiqing could not help but praise them!

"Very well. Then please pay a deposit of 100 million Beli!" Kaku said calmly!

"That's lower than I expected!" Xia Zhiqing smiled upon hearing this, causing Kaku to regard him more highly!

Throwing out 100 million Beli without even blinking—he was a ruthless man!

"Then everyone, we shall meet again in one month!"

After paying the deposit, Xia Zhiqing left alone!

Rob Lucci immediately followed without a word!

In some remote, quiet alley!

"You've followed me for so long. It's time to come out, isn't it, Rob Lucci?"

Xia Zhiqing suddenly stopped, startling Anna. She hurriedly turned around to look!

There, Rob Lucci appeared like a ghost!

"How did you know my identity?" Rob Lucci did not waste a single word and asked directly!

"Hehe, beat me, and I'll tell you! Let me also see what level the World Government's greatest genius in eight hundred years is at!"

Running into Rob Lucci had been entirely accidental, yet also perfectly reasonable!

As long as he bought a ship, he was bound to encounter him!

And deliberately revealing his identity to lure him here!

Was not for fun!

Xia Zhiqing's goal was simple: to steal and learn the Six Powers!

After all, once this chance passed, there would be no other like it!

"You're very confident in your strength. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Rob Lucci's gaze immediately turned sharp!

"Hehe, come on. It would be best if you could kill me!"

Xia Zhiqing had Anna step back. Lightning danced around his body as he entered Lightning Strike Armor mode!

Rob Lucci, combat power: 185!

Xia Zhiqing did not know how much of a gap remained between Rob Lucci's current strength and the strength he would have four years later, when he was defeated by Straw Hat Luffy on Enies Lobby!

But he knew that the current Rob Lucci was also very strong!

Shave!

Rob Lucci vanished in an instant. Xia Zhiqing murmured, "So fast," as he fully activated his Observation Haki and Sharingan.

Then, the sound of something slicing through the air came from behind him!

Finger Pistol: Spot!

An incomparably sharp sound rang out, making every hair on Xia Zhiqing's body stand on end!

Whoosh!

He immediately flashed away in a burst of lightning.

Then, powerful lightning gathered around his fist. He stomped heavily and instantly closed in!
