SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 83 out, this is Chapter 84 of this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.

Pairings: Ace/Sasha, sibling Luffy/Sasha and Sabo/Sasha, patriotic-retainer Law/Sasha

Disclaimers: One Piece belongs to Oda Eiichirō-sensei. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except my OC.

Chapter 84: Arc 7: Robin Captured! The Menace of the Leopard Model!

"It's about time the igniters to go off." Kaku reminded, heaving the still unconscious Kalifa over his shoulder. "We have to hurry too."

"But this is a rare occasion." Lucci remarked. "Let me show you something interesting before we go." as the clock continued ticking, the Government agent started morphing into his Zoan-type Devil Fruit form.

"Which one?" Luffy demanded.

"Zoan-type, Neko Neko Fruit, Model: Leopard." Sasha realized once Lucci's transformation was complete.

"A leopard human..." Zoro gaped.

"Looks like the fire has started to spread." Lucci remarked.

"I don't know if you are a leopard human or what, but I won't let you lay a hand on Iceburg-san." Pauline swore.

"Oh no!" Chopper exclaimed. "Carnivore Zoan-types become more brutal."

"That's right." Lucci confirmed. "Logia types, Zoan types and Paramecia types: many unique powers exist. Genuine physical augmentation is the trait of the Zoan-types. The more we train, the stronger we get. The Zoan-type is the strongest species when it comes to a close attack."

"Shut up!" Paulie snapped. "I don't want to hear stuff about monsters like that."

"We don't want to waste time, either." Lucci reminded. "Since we have to take care of you guys before we get wrapped up in flames."

"The craftsmen are coming upstairs, boss." Kaku stated.

"Don't worry, they can't make it this far." Lucci shrugged. "Tempest Kick!" the force of his attack sliced apart a storey floor and causing the roof to collapse on the incoming craftsmen.

"Nami!" Chopper headbutted the navigator away from the collapsing ceiling.

"Pauline, what are you doing?" Iceburg asked, Pauline taking this chance to pull the recovering shipwright to safety.

"Pigeon jerk!" Luffy retorted, an Armament Haki-coated fist slamming into Lucci's cheek before he could attack Pauline.

"Finger Pistol." Lucci drew his arm back to stab Luffy in the stomach when he found his claws could not penetrate the rubber-man. "What did you..."

"Armament Haki..." Luffy breathed. "Thank goodness Sasha and Zoro trained all of us."

"Armament Hardening." Zoro jumped into the fight next, imbuing his swords with Armament Haki, just as Lucci hardened his arm with 'Iron Body'. Lucci took the opening and slammed a kick onto Zoro's stomach, sending him skidding backwards.

"Guys, we have to end this fight quick." Sasha reminded. "The fire's closing in."

"Roger." Luffy agreed. "Gear Second..."

"Oi, oi oi." Sasha gasped. "You're bringing that out now?"

"Three Sword Style..." with his still Armament Haki-coated swords, Zoro readied his stance.

"Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka!" Luffy slammed his open palms straight into Lucci's chest.

"108 Pound Phoenix!" Zoro ended the assault, the air projectiles sending Lucci crashing out of the wall.

"You may have won this fight." Kaku was forced to beat a hasty retreat. "But you haven't won the war." with just awakening Kalifa who had Sea Prism Stone cuffs secured on Robin's wrists, the two agents, with their prisoner procured, leapt off the crumbling building to search for their defeated leader.

"Now what?" Chopper asked. "The fire's getting closer."

"Ex-quip!" Sasha called forth her one of her armors. "Ancient Water Dragon Armor! Water Lock!" she encased the group into a water bubble and descended onto the ground.

In a nearby alley, Kaku and Kalifa found the de-morphed Lucci.

"Now what, Lucci?" Kalifa asked. "What about the blueprints?"

"Thalassa Sasha is no liar." Lucci stated matter-of-factly. "We all know that; if she says the blueprints are burnt, they're burnt. This mission is certified as a failure. Let's report back to Enies Lobby."

"But before that, we need to capture Cutty Flam." Kaku stated flatly. "If the blueprints were with him, there is a high chance he'd already memorized the Pluton designs."

SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
