He had just tried to get up when a sharp pain shot through his chest.
"Don't move!"
Kumadori immediately and hold him down.
You have a broken rib.
Lucci lay back down on the plank.
He looked at the surrounding sea, and his eyes quickly regained their clarity.
Where am I?
Near Enies Lobby.
What about Enies Lobby?
Kumadori a moment to be silent.
He raised his hand and pointed to the piles of rocks around him.
"That's all."
Lucci shifted his gaze.
There was no Tower of Justice as far as the eye could see.
There is no courthouse.
There is no road that runs through the island.
Only rocks and seawater remain.
The Gate of Justice in the distance is tilted, its surface riddled with cracks.
Lucci stared at the ruins.
"What about the others?"
Kumadori and lowered her head.
"Not found."
"I only had time to protect you."
Lucci's face darkened completely.
He didn't press the matter further.
Enies Lobby was completely destroyed and submerged in the sea.
The chances of others surviving are too low, as their Life Return Kumadori.
Where is Uchiha Xin?
He left before the island crashed.
Kumadori's pause for a moment.
"They also took Kalifa with them."
Lucci suddenly looked at him.
" Kalifa isn't dead?"
"No."
Kumadori.
"When we besieged Uchiha Xin, Kalifa was pulled away by his gravity."
"Later, Spandam produced the Golden Den Den Mushi."
Uchiha Xin took Kalifa and left Enies Lobby.
They should have already arrived elsewhere.
Lucci closed his eyes.
He recalled the entire process of Uchiha Xin defeating CP9.
The Rokuogan was crushed head-on.
I Kakuzu of the other person's clothes.
Kaku, Jabra, and others joined forces, but to no avail.
That's not a failure.
It was not a crushing defeat.
Since joining CP9, Lucci has never experienced a battle like this.
No matter what enemy he faced, he believed in his own strength.
But in front of Uchiha Xin, he clearly felt what weakness truly meant for the first time.
The opponent doesn't even need to make a serious move.
With just one repulsive force, the entire CP9 team could be defeated.
Lucci opened his eyes.
Why did he take Kalifa away?
Kumadori glanced at him.
"He's probably got his eye on her."
"Reason."
" Uchiha Xin has no shortage of subordinates."
Kumadori said:
"He previously took away the naval swordswoman Tashigi."
He even fought a war for a woman.
"According to news from Fish-Man Island, he was also accompanied by more than one woman."
" Kalifa posed no threat to him, yet he kept her by his side."
"There's no other explanation than that he was attracted to her."
Lucci's fingers tightened little by little.
The surface of the wooden board was scratched and cracked.
But now he can't even stand up.
Not to mention catching up with Uchiha Xin.
An overwhelming sense of powerlessness pressed down on my chest.
Lucci had never hated his own weakness so much.
" Den Den Mushi " (a type of Den Den Mushi).
Is your personal contact Den Den Mushi still around?
Kumadori immediately controlled his long hair and took a Den Den Mushi from his tattered clothes.
The Den Den Mushi's casing has cracked.
Fortunately, no one died.
Kumadori the seawater that has been wiped away from its surface and awakens it.
"It's still usable."
"Superior."
Lucci forced himself to sit up.
Report everything that happened here truthfully.
The Den Den Mushi was connected.
A sound came from the other side very quickly.
"This is the World Government's intelligence receiving center."
"Report your identity."
"CP9, Rob Lucci."
The other side paused for a moment.
What happened on Enies Lobby?
" Golden Lion Shiki and Uchiha Xin clashed in the skies Enies Lobby."
Lucci said, word by word:
" The Golden Lion has fallen in battle."
" Uchiha Xin has obtained the Float-Float Fruit."
"CP9 was defeated."
" Kalifa has been kidnapped by Uchiha Xin."
The fate of the remaining members is unknown.
Dozens of floating Sky Island have crashed.
" Enies Lobby is completely destroyed."
The other end of the Den Den Mushi fell silent.
After a few breaths, the other party confirmed again.
You're saying Enies Lobby was destroyed?
"Yes."
" The Golden Lion is dead too?"
"Yes."
"Stay in touch immediately!"
"This intelligence will be reported directly!"
The information traveled upwards from the intelligence department.
Before long, a complete report was sent to Mary Geoise.
Pangaea Castle.
The Five Elders each read the intelligence report.
" Shiki is dead."
"People who should have died in Impel Down decades ago have lived this long enough."
" Uchiha Xin's ability to kill him shows he's quite strong."
"However, Shiki is already old."
"Both legs broken, but a ship's rudder still above his head."
"Neither physical strength nor Haki can remain at its peak."
" Uchiha Xin probably got a good deal."
The other person put down the report.
" Enies Lobby was simply destroyed by Shiki's floating Sky Island."
"It wasn't Uchiha Xin who destroyed it head-on."
"His spatial abilities and lightning strikes need to be taken seriously, but they haven't reached the point where we absolutely have to deal with them."
He's not D. Clan either.
No activity related to the Void Century was found.
"Not currently posing the highest threat."
The last person makes the decision.
"Hand it over to the navy."
"Let the Sengoku handle it themselves."
None of the five objected.
The full report on the destruction of Enies Lobby, the death of Golden Lion, and the losses of CP9 was quickly sent to Marine Headquarters.
Marineford.
Inside the Fleet Admiral's Office.
Sengoku looked at the two intelligence reports in front of him, his temples twitching.
A document from Enies Lobby.
The other one came from the warship that was escorting Ace.
After Blackbeard was defeated by Uchiha Xin, he turned around and defeated Fire Fist Ace, handing him over to the World Government.
Sengoku initially only regarded Ace as the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.
This identity is noteworthy, but it's not enough to change the entire ocean.
Until the investigation results are delivered.
Portgas D. Ace.
The biological son of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King.
When the Sengoku saw this result, their first reaction was disbelief.
Several pieces of intelligence can be corroborated each other.
Ace's birth date.
Mother Portgas D. Rouge.
Records of Garp's stay in the South Blue.
All the clues match up.
Sengoku slammed the intelligence report on the table.
" Garp!"
"How many years have you kept this from me?!"
Garp sat opposite him, his arms crossed.
The donuts on the table remained untouched.
" Ace is just Ace."
"It has nothing to do with Roger."
"It's alright?"
Sengoku slammed his fist on the table.
"He is Roger's biological son!"
"You hid him in the East Blue and left him to be raised by Dadan!"
"You've never reported this to the Navy in all these years!"
Garp kept his head down.
The child is innocent.
Stop telling me that!
Information about Sengoku capturing Ace.
Do you realize the impact this will have if it becomes public?
" Whitebeard treated him like a son."
" Roger's bloodline is enough to drive countless pirates mad."
" The World Government will not let him get away with this!"
Garp did not refute.
Sengoku looked at his old friend of many years, his anger not diminishing in the slightest.
"You are a naval hero!"
"Not a babysitter for pirates!"
"First, they hid Roger's son, then they handed him over to the bandits to raise."
"In the end, they even made him a Whitebeard Pirates!"
