Lucci had finally brought down Kashii, but taking another step forward proved far more difficult.
Iron Man and his men blocked his path. "That's far enough, Lucci. Commander Spandine won't see you again. If he sees anything of yours, it'll be your head."
With a shrug of his shoulders, Iron Man let his cloak fall to the ground.
He wore only a tight vest, exposing a powerful, muscular frame. Killing intent poured from him. Veins bulged along his thick arms, his muscles swelled, and a faint black mist seemed to rise from his body.
Lucci gave a contemptuous sneer. "You're a Devil Fruit user too, aren't you? I've wanted to test myself against the strongest member of CP9 for a long time. Now we can settle who's better. As for Spandine, I think he'll see me once I've beaten you."
"Heh. You really won't give up until it's too late."
Iron Man's eyes flashed and his expression darkened. The air around him surged, and a fierce wind whipped up at his side. Then his body transformed into a black dog standing on its hind legs. He was a Devil Fruit user too: the Dog-Dog Fruit, Black Dog Form!
"Hmph... Iron Man, you and I will settle things later."
Ye Chen's eyes were frighteningly cold. Even the air around him seemed to drop several degrees.
Anyone who came close would have felt the strange change. Iron Man was the CP9 agent who had attacked Ye Chen at Ohara.
Back then, Iron Man could have brought Ye Chen down with one finger. But things were different now. Fortunes changed with time, and if they fought again, Ye Chen would make sure Iron Man got a shock.
Lucci spat on the ground in disgust. Without a moment's hesitation, he walked toward Iron Man.
