Annihilating the Former CP9, Leaving Kalifa

"Because I already killed those three."

A voice carried over.

Blueno, Kaku, and Kalifa hurriedly hid beside Rob Lucci, staring toward the doorway.

Luo Chen and Tashigi had already appeared at the entrance.

Rob Lucci rose directly from the bed and said, "Run. I'll handle him."

"Rob Lucci, I heard you're the World Government's greatest genius in eight hundred years. How about working under me? After all, the World Government has already abandoned you." Luo Chen spread his arms, a smile on his face.

Rob Lucci roughly understood what was going on and said, "So you came to recruit me."

"I'm sorry, but I have no intention of working under Pirates."

"What a pity. You're that eager to be the World Government's lapdog?" Luo Chen replied with a smile, shaking his head.

Luo Chen only made an invitation once.

At that moment, Blueno intended to use the Door-Door Fruit's ability again to take Rob Lucci and escape.

Luo Chen continued, "Tashigi, go. That woman is your opponent. Use this chance to hone your strength."

"Luo Chen, damn it, why are you ordering me around? I'm not a Pirate, and I'm not your subordinate." Tashigi pouted in frustration.

Luo Chen's gaze slowly shifted toward Tashigi.

When Tashigi saw his gaze turn toward her, she was badly frightened. After yesterday's experience, she truly did not want to go through it again.

For the first time in her life, Tashigi had gone through such an experience. Luo Chen's true face was simply too evil.

Tashigi drew Shigure and said, "I understand. I'll deal with her."

Kalifa frowned. She feared that man, but there was no reason for her to fear the frail-looking woman beside him.

Blueno was frantic. They were supposed to be escaping, not fighting!

If they kept fighting, none of them might be able to get away.

Rob Lucci tore off the bandages around his body.

"Soru." Using the Six Powers' Soru, Rob Lucci charged forward while transforming into the human-beast form of his Zoan Devil Fruit.

Seeing Lucci move, Kaku hurriedly rushed forward with him.

Luo Chen shook his head with a disappointed expression and said, "What a pity."

"Lion's Might: Thousand Slice Valley."

The Great Grade Blades Kogarashi and Sakura Jū swung rapidly, and countless Flying Slash Attacks swept toward Rob Lucci and Kaku.

Swordsmanship at the level of a Great Swordsman blanketed an enormous area.

Rob Lucci and Kaku bore the brunt of it.

Kaku had already realized that he should not have charged in so recklessly.

Rob Lucci, meanwhile, had no idea that the man before him possessed swordsmanship at the level of a Great Swordsman.

Rob Lucci and Kaku hurriedly dodged the countless Flying Slash Attacks.

But without Observation Haki, how could they possibly evade them all??

Kaku was the first to be struck by Luo Chen's Thousand Slice Valley. The instant he was hit, another sword aura struck him, followed immediately by yet another Flying Slash Attack.

"Ahhh~~" Kaku cried out in pain.

" Kaku!" Rob Lucci shouted.

"Ahhh~~" After Rob Lucci called Kaku's name, he too was struck by Luo Chen's Thousand Slice Valley.

Just like that, Rob Lucci and Kaku were continuously struck by Flying Slash Attacks that hit them in rapid succession like rain.

Gradually, both Rob Lucci and Kaku completely lost consciousness.

Countless wounds caused their vitality to drain away at a terrifying speed.

Kalifa, who had only just begun fighting Tashigi, was instantly bewildered.

Tashigi reminded her, "Focus properly on the opponent in front of you! Don't get distracted."

Blueno watched as Rob Lucci and Kaku were killed so easily.

Without a second thought, he raised his hand, grabbed the air, and activated the Door-Door Fruit's ability to escape.

However, the Door-Door Fruit ability Blueno activated was interrupted by a slash of sword aura.

Blueno was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Did you think that after letting you escape once, I'd let you get away a second time??"

"Besides, I let you escape earlier on purpose."

"Don't kill me. I'm a Devil Fruit user—I can become your subordinate." Blueno said hurriedly.

His only chance of surviving now was to join this man's ranks.

Otherwise, there was only death. Hadn't all the members of the former CP9 been killed until only he and Kalifa remained??

Resisting would definitely mean death.

Luo Chen said bluntly, "No. You may be a Devil Fruit user, but you're too weak. Besides, what if the World Government recruits you again someday??"

"That... won't happen." Blueno hurriedly denied it. How could he possibly admit to such a huge accusation?

"Slash Wave."

Luo Chen swung the Great Grade Blade Kogarashi, sending out an enormous Flying Slash Attack.

"Help!" Blueno's eyes filled with despair.

Boom!!

A slash mark several hundred meters long appeared directly in front of Luo Chen, smoke rising from it.

Blueno's fate was sealed. He was dead beyond doubt.

Kalifa ignored Tashigi and turned to run. Luo Chen had killed everyone, leaving only her alive.

Even if she could not escape, Kalifa still had to try. What if she really managed to get away??

"If you dare to run even one more meter, then..." Luo Chen raised the Great Grade Blade Kogarashi, preparing to unleash a slash.

Kalifa came to an abrupt stop, because Luo Chen's intimidation was simply too overwhelming.

It was so overwhelming that a single sentence from Luo Chen left Kalifa not daring to move even half a step.

The absentminded Tashigi suddenly thought of something. Luo Chen had stopped this woman? Could it be that he wanted to??

Because Tashigi had experienced that yesterday, she knew that Luo Chen was simply a... In the end, Tashigi did not dare say it aloud, nor did she dare think about it.
