"Hey, Captain Lucci, you can't be serious, right? I was just joking. Are those guys really that strong?!" Stussy asked him in surprise after a moment of astonishment.
Kaku asked him in astonishment, "Yes, Lucci, although I just said that, I don't think you'll lose to those guys. You weren't joking with us, were you?!"
"Do you think I would joke about something like this with you?" Lucci's expression naturally turned somewhat unpleasant when the two asked him this question. After all, no one would be willing to admit that they are inferior to others, especially a proud man like him.
"Uh... Lucci, how did you realize that his strength was comparable to Hawk-Eye's? As a swordsman, I could sense that he was a swordsman, but I couldn't see any specific strength at all!" Kaku was embarrassed for a moment, then asked again.
"Phew... it's Observation Haki..."
Observation Haki?!
"We can do that too, but we can only roughly sense his immense aura; we can't really feel his specific strength!"
"That's right, it's impossible to detect his strength using Observation Haki alone..."
"Simply using Observation Haki alone won't suffice, but if you add the Awakening Zoan sensory abilities and the aura you've sensed before, you can make a rough comparison..." Lucci shook his head and continued.
From his words, we learned another important piece of information: Lucci's Zoan Devil Fruit ability has also Awakening, and he has also come into contact with Hawk-Eye and directly experienced his strength, which is why he said such a thing.
"Really?! I see. So what should we do next? What actions should we take?! Lucci, as the captain, we have to listen to you!!"
Kaku and Lucci's talk of Awakening. As the most talented member of CP9 in over 800 years, it would be abnormal if he hadn't awakened his ability after Awakening it for so long. It was precisely because Lucci Awakening his ability and his strength increased by leaps and bounds after Luffy that the World Government compromised and allowed them to join CP0.
At this moment, Kaku wanted to ask what to do if he encountered troublemakers, namely Luo Chen and his group, after entering the venue, but then found that they also made a move.
"Let's play it by ear. If they need our help, we'll step in; if not, we'll stay put!"
"Clear!!"
"Alright, it's time to go in. The wedding is about to begin!"
After they finished speaking, the three of them stepped into the city gate.
Then they turned to Gustav, who was preparing to marry Catherine, and came to Orange.
" Orange, my son, are you ready?" Orange's father, leaning on a gold cane and accompanied by his entourage, approached Orange was dressed in a formal suit and looking solemn and dignified, and asked.
"Yes, Father, I am ready and can depart now to fetch my fiancée Catherine Palace!" Orange replied respectfully.
His father, Saint Norris, carefully examined Orange was dressed in his finest attire, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Is that so? Then let's go, don't keep them waiting!"
"Yes, Father!!" Orange maintained his composure, but his heart was churning. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time, eager to bring back his fiancée Catherine, complete the marriage between the two families, and then take over the power of both families.
"Set off!!" With a shout, Orange was followed by a group of honor guards who marched quickly toward the Glücksburg Family Clan estate.
Here, in a corner not far from the gate of Pangaea Castle, three uninvited guests walked in.
"Captain, it seems the wedding has started. There are so many guests, and the city is bustling with activity. The security is tighter. What should we do? Should we just barge in?" After infiltrating the area, Luo Chen and his companions hid in this dark, undiscovered corner, watching the bustling entrance. Phil asked him directly.
"Yes, we have to go in, but we can't force it. If we force our way in, we might not be able to rescue Catherine, and the three of us will be trapped!" Luo Chen looked at the heavily guarded gate, thought for a moment, and then said.
"Then what should we do?!" Singh didn't interrupt their conversation, just stood there quietly waiting for Luo Chen's instructions. Phil, however, was different. He was similar to George in his impulsive nature, and seeing Luo Chen deep in thought, he couldn't help but ask him.
"Hmm, let me think about it! Right, we can use that..." Luo Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea, and clapped his hands and said.
"What?!" the two asked, puzzled.
"It's about the slaves. More than ten years ago, the Fish-Man Fisher Tiger released a large number of slaves in the Holy Land, plunging the entire Holy Land into panic and chaos. We can use him!" Luo Chen prompted.
"But this has already happened once, so they must be on guard now. They won't let us succeed so easily!" Phil said, scratching his head.
"It's all about human effort, and we don't even need to do it ourselves; they can handle it!"
"Them?!"
Luo Chen smiled mysteriously, "Yes, come out, my clones!!"
Then, with a wave of his hand, several blood-red figures appeared beside him. Their Blood Breath slowly condensed, and soon they transformed into three figures, appearing before the three of them.
When Phil and the others saw three figures who looked exactly like Luo Chen suddenly appear beside them, they were astonished and asked, "Uh... this is... the captain?!"
Luo Chen explained, "They are all my clones!!"
"A clone?! What's that?!"
"That is, three puppet-like entities formed by my abilities, which are connected to my will and controlled by me!!"
"Oh... I see!!" After hearing Luo Chen's explanation, they immediately understood; these three clones were like puppets.
"Alright, you can go now!!" Luo Chen nodded to the several "him" who had appeared, then waved his hand, and the three figures disappeared in Extreme Speed, disappearing into Pangaea Castle in different directions.
"Captain, what should we do now?!" Phil couldn't help but ask after seeing Luo Chen lean against the wall without any further response after waving his hands to dismiss the clones.
"All we can do now is wait!!"
"Wait?!"
"Okay, once my clone sends a message, we'll take advantage of the chaos to go in and rescue Catherine!"
"But Captain, how can you be so sure your clone can do what you say?!" Phil still couldn't understand why Luo Chen was so confident that he could stir up chaos in the Holy Land.
"Idiot, although those are said to be my clones, you can actually consider them as me. Right now, I'm focusing on controlling them, and their every move is under my control."
"My clones won't disappear until I'm exhausted or defeated by the enemy. Do you think three invincible clones could cause chaos in the Holy Land?!" Luo Chen explained after saying that.
At this moment, inside the Holy Land, the three clones that Luo Chen had secretly sent to infiltrate the area began to carry out their missions according to his instructions.
boom...
One of them, following his instructions, swaggered out and attacked the guards. An explosion rang out, startling everyone present, who all turned to look in this direction.
boom...
One of the clones grabbed a cannonball and threw it at the approaching guards. The cannonball crashed down and exploded, blasting a group of people away, but then more people surrounded him.
