SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 100 out, this is Chapter 101 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, the pairing and the fic idea.

Chapter 101: Arc 8: The End Of Rob Lucci! Third Gear Activated!

"Whether or not anyone was in the tunnel, there's no longer any pathway here." Lucci remarked, getting to higher ground to avoid the rush of seawater. "This tunnel is underneath the sea as well."

"Bastard." Luffy growled, following Lucci as he took the fight to higher grounds.

"Here we're above sea-level." Lucci informed after the two combatants arrived to their new battling grounds. "So the seawater won't reach us."

"I"m not taking my eyes off you." Luffy declared. "If I run from you now, you'll go and kill my nakama. So, I'm not taking my eyes off you."

"Such a capable leader." Lucci mocked. "If only a certain idiot could have heard your words, but will you be able to hold to that? Even if you die, the outcome will be the same!" he declared, both adversaries charging each other again and exchanging rapid-fired punches.

Luffy ducked Lucci's next punch, only to be sent flying backward by the agent's kick to the stomach. Using Soru, Lucci positioned himself above Luffy and sent him to the ground with a knee to the stomach. "Shigan!" Lucci closed in for the finishing move, Luffy jumping back to dodge the attack. "Rankyaku!" Lucci sent his air blade at Luffy, catching him on the shoulder. "Can you defeat me!" Lucci roared, using Soru to close the distance.

"If I cant' win, I won't be able to protect anyone!" Luffy snapped, wrapping his leg around Lucci's thigh. "Gomu Gomu no Rifle!" he let his cock-screw arm fly.

"Tekkai: Utsugi." Lucci defended against the attack, the shockwave sending Luffy flying backwards. "Kamisori." he closed the distance between him and Luffy and lifted the teen up in his hand. "You did well to stand up to the World Government." he tightened the choke-hold around Luffy's neck. "But it seems that you, like all other pirates, are simply unable to stand up to me in battle."

Twisting the lower half of his body and planting his legs on the ground, Luffy grabbed Lucci's extended arm and tossed the older man away using the momentum gained by his wound-up body. "Gomu Gomu no Pistol!" he sent his punch flying, Lucci using Soru to avoid the attack.

"Tobu Shigan: Bachi!" Lucci sent an air bullet flying towards the charging Luffy, hitting him on the shoulder. Using Soru to move behind Luffy, he repeated the attack on the rubber teen's other shoulder. Circling the defenseless teen, he continued raining his air bullets on Luffy. "Mitsubachi!" he continued firing his air bullets at Luffy. "Tobu Shigan: Hibachi!" he lit up his index finger using friction and fired a fireball at Luffy, the attack sending the teen flying to the ground. "If I had expected a spirited man, I would be disappointed. Did you lose all your power after that attack?"

"If you want a spirited battle, I'll show you." Luffy promised, back onto his feet as the smoke cleared. "Another strategy. Gear Third." biting his thumb, he expelled air into his arm. "Bone Balloon! The power moves from one bone to another. Watch, my left hand..." the air expanded through his body, enlarging the upper half of his body. "Is the hand of a giant."

"If you are trying to intimidate me, stop." Lucci warned, as the enlarged fist closed in on him. "Tekkai." he defended himself.

"Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol!" Luffy sent his punch straight at Lucci, sending the agent flying out of the building and into the ocean. Withdrawing his arm, the panting Luffy took a few steps back to center himself.

So, this is the end... Lucci mused, sinking into the seawater; despite Sasha's 'Dragon Law' having removed his Devil Fruit, he still retained the standard weaknesses of Devil Fruit users; and in the case right now, the ocean.
