Slaying Three Former CP9 Members in a Row

Two days passed.

Over those two days, Tashigi had gotten a taste of Luo Chen's wicked methods.

Now, Tashigi acted very obediently around Luo Chen, because she was truly afraid he would keep tormenting her.

On an island near Water 7, Luo Chen arrived with Tashigi.

Tashigi asked in confusion, "Luo Chen, what are you doing here?"

"Looking for someone," Luo Chen replied simply.

In the original story Luo Chen knew, CP9 had been hunted by the Marines after their defeat at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates and had ended up here.

They performed on the streets, earning money to treat Rob Lucci's injuries.

If that was true, then the CP9 members were here.

When Tashigi heard that Luo Chen had come here to find someone, she did not dare ask any further questions. She obediently kept quiet and silently followed behind him.

After asking around, Luo Chen arrived on a street. Fortunately, this island was not an especially large town.

Otherwise, it might have taken much longer.

Luo Chen and Tashigi walked over to where a crowd had gathered.

Tashigi said in quiet surprise, "There are so many people watching here."

Without wasting words, Luo Chen unleashed a sweep of Conqueror's Haki.

In an instant, countless civilians rolled their eyes back and collapsed one after another.

Kaku, Jabra, Blueno, Kumadori, Fukuro, and Kalifa immediately became alert.

A smile appeared on Luo Chen's lips. "I finally found you, CP9."

"What a miserable state. Reduced to performing on the streets."

"Conqueror's Haki?"

"How could there be someone so powerful here?" Kumadori said in shock.

The others were equally stunned!

"Who are you?" Jabra demanded, pointing at him.

Kalifa suddenly remembered and warned them, "That man is the wanted criminal announced yesterday. His bounty is one hundred million Beli."

"One hundred million Beli?" Kaku echoed.

Luo Chen pressed, "Where is your leader, Rob Lucci?"

"Or has he still not recovered from his battle with Straw Hat Luffy?"

"Damn it, he really came for us." Jabra immediately assumed a fighting stance.

Blueno asked stiffly, "What do you want with us? Besides, we are no longer CP9 members."

Fukuro said, "If you want information about the World Government, we can tell you."

"Fukuro, you..." Kaku stared at Fukuro. If he had said something like that before, the World Government would have dealt with him immediately!

Standing before them, Luo Chen said directly, "Take me to Rob Lucci."

"What kind of joke is that? There's no way we're taking you to Rob Lucci." Jabra refused without a second thought.

If this man went to find Rob Lucci, would that not mean Rob Lucci was in danger?

Rob Lucci's injuries had not even fully healed yet.

And Jabra's thoughts were shared by all of the former CP9 members.

Kumadori said in a strange tone, "Don't think we're afraid of you just because you're a Pirate with a one hundred million Beli bounty."

"There are so many of us, while you are alone. Do you really think you can defeat us?"

Fukuro laughed. "Exactly. You even brought along a frail woman, and you dare come looking for us? Do you really think a one hundred million Beli bounty makes you that impressive?!"

Slash!

A flash of blade light swept past.

Fukuro's entire head was severed by Luo Chen!

Just as Jabra was about to speak—

Another flash of blade light swept past, cutting Jabra cleanly in two.

In less than a second, two former CP9 members had died.

Sensing danger, Blueno hurriedly used the Door-Door Fruit ability to take Kaku and Kalifa away. Just as Blueno was about to grab Kumadori—

He was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled his arm back.

Kumadori had also died, slain by Luo Chen.

In just two seconds, three of the former CP9 members had been killed.

In the past, they would never have even dared imagine such a thing.

Tashigi had been completely stunned throughout it all. Only after a full seven seconds did she react and say, "What incredible swordsmanship."

"So your swordsmanship is this powerful. No wonder you can wield two Great Grade Blades."

Tashigi was not shocked that Luo Chen had killed three people. She was shocked by his swordsmanship.

Tashigi herself was obsessed with swordsmanship and famed blades.

Tashigi walked up to Luo Chen and asked, "Why did you let those three go?"

"Heh. What do you think?" Luo Chen asked Tashigi with a smile.

Tashigi continued, "Your swordsmanship is so powerful that they should not have been able to escape, right? So, Luo Chen, you let them go on purpose."

"Not a bad analysis." Luo Chen calmly acknowledged her reasoning.

Meanwhile.

Blueno fled to another street with Kaku and Kalifa.

At that moment, all three of them wore terrified expressions.

Kalifa said pale-faced, "That man's swordsmanship was terrifying. For that instant, I truly thought I was going to die."

"Now isn't the time to stand around. We need to find Lucci immediately. We can't stay on this island any longer, or he'll come after us," Kaku decided.

Blueno agreed. "I agree with Kaku's decision."

Kalifa had no objections. They truly could not remain on this island any longer. That terrifying man could come to kill them at any moment.

Thus, Kaku, Kalifa, and Blueno cautiously ran toward where Lucci was resting.

What they did not know was that this had been Luo Chen's intention.

His goal was to lure Rob Lucci out.

Inside a remote thatched hut, Rob Lucci lay resting on a bed.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Kaku, Kalifa, and Blueno appeared before Rob Lucci.

Rob Lucci asked, "Why have the three of you returned so suddenly? Where are Jabra and the others?"
