"A devil fruit." Paulie stated, showing a terrified face.

"Indeed." Lucci agreed, in his new form. "I ate the Neko-Neko no mi, leopard version."

"A leopard man." Nami feared.

at that moment, raising the hand with which he was holding Luffy's head, he ended up lowering it with all his strength towards the ground.

"ARRGGHHH!" Luffy shouted, as cracks appeared around him.

Immediately, Hatterene attacked Lucci.

Hatterene uses PSYBEAM .

Seeing the attack coming towards him, Luccu bent his legs before rushing forward.

" TEKKAI! "

Letting the attack hit him, he didn't slow down at all and found himself in front of the pokemon, while raising his clawed hand towards the ceiling.

" You will die. "

Hatterene uses PSYCHIC .

Wanting to block Lucci again, the pokemon saw him motionless for a moment, before being able to move his arm again. His strength had become much more powerful than before.

"You're just a runt." The man roared, lowering his arm.

Unable to dodge, the pokemon felt Lucci's claws slashing at her. Letting out a cry of agony, she collapsed to the ground.

"There are three types of devil fruit: Logia, Paramecia and Zoan! As a Zoan, I benefit from an improvement in physical strength! In other words, I am a specialist in hand-to-hand combat."

At that moment, an explosion was heard on the ground floor.

"Looks like our time is up." Kaku remarked. "We should get this over with soon."

"It's true that it would be embarrassing to end up burning here." Blueno said.

However, hearing moans, the man turned to see Zoro and Bruno getting to their feet.

"Huh…still alive?"

"Yeah! Continue to believe that you are all powerful." Zoro growled.

"Soon you won't be able to laugh anymore."

For his part, hearing other explosions, Paulie hastened to rush towards Iceberg.

"Iceberg-san, I need to get you out of here."

"You fool! You're too hurt to carry me."

Wanting to prove him wrong, Paulie put his arm around his shoulders, before forcing him to stand up. Unfortunately, they didn't even have time to take a step before they saw Lucci in front of them.

"Paulie…I advise you to stay where you are."

"Don't talk nonsense." Roared the carpenter. "If I don't do something, he will die."

"That's the goal." Lucci said simply.

"How dare you? Lucci...even though I found you completely annoying ! I thought...I thought we were actually friends."

"Unfortunately for you, you were the only one who thought like that." Lucci retorted, without the slightest hesitation.

"HEY!"

Hearing a voice behind him, Lucci turned around to see Luffy, standing again. Despite the blood dripping down his face, Luffy focused on Hatterene who was on the ground, unconscious. Remaining still at first, Luffy eventually glanced at Lucci.

"I think you've had enough trouble for today."

"Huh? And do you think you're allowed to say that kind of stupid comment to me?" Lucci questioned.

In response, Luffy placed his fist on the ground again.

" GEAR 2! "

"Tsss! This ridiculous technique again?" Lucci questioned him. "It makes you more powerful but you are unable to control it."

However, suddenly bending his legs, Luffy made a completely different start from what he was used to doing and, in a quarter of a second, he disappeared from Lucci's sight before finding himself in front of him.

"That?" The man wondered, lowering his gaze.

" JET PISTOL! "

Leaving Lucci no chance, Luffy punched him in the abdomen with incredible force. Opening his mouth, while his eyes widened, Lucci spat out drool, while he felt a sharp pain in the place where he had just been hit.

This time, his companions were completely shocked, as they saw Lucci bend one of his legs enough to put one knee on the ground.

" OYE! Seriously? " Blueno was surprised.

"Lucci! Are you okay?" Kalifa asked.

In response, Lucci raised his gaze and gave Luffy a look of hatred. Seeming exhausted again because of Geat 2, the pirate cannot be surprised to feel no pain in his legs, as during his fight with Foxy. For the first time, he was able to move and attack as he wanted. And that was due to moving in a similar manner to Lucci.

"Your movement technique... I'm going to use it to master my own technique." Luffy stated, staring at Lucci.

Having no idea what he was talking about, Lucci let out a roar before rushing towards him. Moving even faster than before, he completely surprised Luffy, while the pirate felt the man's foot hit him in the side.

Gasping, Luffy felt his body being thrown out the window, as he flew away.

"AHHHHHHH!"

"LUFFY!" Nami feared.

" ASSHOLE! " Zoro roared, running towards Lucci.

Seeing him direct a saber towards him, the assassin simply used his claws to block his weapon. There was a shock wave upon impact. But immediately, Zoro's feet slipped back, showing Lucci's superiority.

"Damn it." Zoro growled, trying to stay still.

Unfortunately, raising his second arm while closing his fist, Lucci hit him with all his strength. Losing consciousness at the moment of impact, Zoro let go of Kitetsu before being propelled towards a wall which he passed through. As a result, just like Luffy, he began to fly far away before disappearing into the darkness.

"Zoro..." Nami whispered.

"Those two will stop bothering us." Lucci growled.

For his part, gritting his teeth, Bruno ends up making a decision.

"DAMN IT! You would have wanted it! ZIPPER-MAN! "

Immediately, his puppet reappeared and rushed towards Lucci, while moving its arms at full speed. Seeing the puppet wanting to hit him, Lucci began to dodge its attacks.

" KAMIE! "

Easily dodging Zipper-man's attacks, Lucci remained with his feet completely still, while only the upper part of his body undulated to avoid its fists. However, as a few seconds passed, Lucci suddenly felt a presence at his feet.

Taking advantage of Zipper-man's diversion, Bruno entered the ground and one of his hands came out near one of Lucci's legs.

" I'VE GOT YOU ! "

Unfortunately, the assassin jumped into the air to avoid being touch.

" GEPPO! "

However, just as he seemed to anticipate this move, Zipper-man found itself in front of him again and aimed one of its fists at his face. Knowing that Tekkai had no effect against the puppet, Lucci tilted his head to the side at the last second to dodge its attack.

However, managing to brush against his cheek, Zipper-man created a tiny zipper that opened. Usually, when Bruno cut or injured his opponents in this way, his victims would not feel pain even if they were cut into pieces. Nevertheless, a few drops of blood flowed from Lucci's cheek, showing that Bruno had stopped having the slightest pity for him.

"This time, there is no question of wanting to hold back." Bruno affirmed. "If Zipper-man cuts you into pieces, you will die! ARRIVEDERCI! "

Once again, his puppet targeted Lucci with numerous punches. Gritting his teeth, Lucci growled.

"Me too! I'm going to stop holding back."

Suddenly disappearing, he appeared right above Zipper-man before aiming his foot towards its skull.

" RANKYAKU! "

Struck with phenomenal force, the puppet felt its body twist in various positions, before being pulverized. Seeing this, Bruno widened his eyes. Unfortunately, not being able to react in time, he didn't even see Lucci appear in front of him, with his claws pointing towards his abdomen.

"You would have been better off minding your own business and getting off this island."

The next moment, Bruno coughed up a large amount of blood, while deep lacerations now ran across his abdomen. Feeling his strength leaving him, the man's body toppled backwards before collapsing to the ground. In this position, he seemed vulnerable to any further attacks, while he could only spit more blood out of his mouth.

"Pirates like you are the beings that disgust me the most." Lucci growled.

Suddenly, a gust of wind touched him and managed to move him slightly away from Bruno's body. Growing more and more annoyed at being interrupted so much, the leopard man turned to Nami, who had aimed her climate-tack in his direction. Even if she trembled with fear at the idea of facing him, she didn't hesitate to face him to save Bruno.

"You pirates really are the stupidest people in this world."

Then, a new explosion was heard, as the flames spread throughout the building.

"Hey! Look!"

Having exited the abandoned hangar, Yosaku directed his gaze towards a huge column of fire that could be seen in the distance.

"Is there a fire?" Azelma wondered, joining him with the others.

"But this place…" Johnny said. "This is where Galley-La HQ is."

Knowing he was right, Yosaku couldn't help but gulp while thinking of the others.

"Aniki…"

"Do you think this fire was started by the guys from earlier?" Menma asked.

"It's obvious that this can't be a coincidence." Shun-Day said. "These guys don't seem like people who would hesitate to do this sort of thing."

Suddenly, a laugh was heard.

"Indeed! No one can predict how humans may behave among themselves."

Surprised, the small group turned towards an old woman, who was drinking an entire bottle of alcohol. Also looking at the fire in the distance, Kokoro declared.

"It looks like Iceberg got himself into some big trouble."

"You?" Yosaku was surprised.

"You're the old lady from the lighthouse." Johnny recognized her.

"We're here too." Chimney assured, appearing with Gonbe.

Continuing to drink, Kokoro declared.

"Frankly, it's no wonder that this fire was a criminal act, when you know all the horrible things that are happening in this world."

"Now that Iceberg is dead, all we have to do is pay Cuttie Flam a visit." Lucci said.

Jumping into the air, he seemed to be flying above the rooftops, while he was accompanied by Kaku and the others. Having a den-den muchi in hand, Kalifa affirmed.

"Fosha has arrived at the station! They are just waiting for us."

"In half an hour, this mission that lasted more than five years will finally be finished." Lucci assured.

"No one could have predicted that it would end like this." Blueno affirmed.

Suddenly, voices were heard below. Stopping, the members of CP9 saw Zambe and the others, who seemed to be looking for someone in particular.

"Huh?"

Feeling a gust of wind hit his face, Bellamy positioned his arm in front of him while growling.

"Damn it! I've heard people talking about a storm coming to the island, but it seems even more powerful than I expected."

Groaning again, he cursed his bad luck in being unable to leave the island.

"I've been denied a boat since I don't have any money! I could easily steal one, but the problem is that Enies Lobby is near here! If I cause trouble here, it won't "Wouldn't it be surprising if a Navy ship came to this island to arrest me."

While thinking, Bellamy ends up hearing screams.

"Mugiwara! Show yourself."

"Huh?" The blond was surprised.

In the distance, he also saw Zambe and the rest of the Franky Family screaming.

"We have captured Long-Nose! So, if you don't want Aniki to kill him, you better show up and follow us without putting up the slightest resistance."

"We're serious! Aniki won't hesitate to throw him into the sea if you don't show up."

"Who are these guys?" Bellamy wondered, remaining hidden behind a wall.

Thinking for a moment, he remembered the panic he had felt this morning, walking around alive.

"I've heard some rumors that Mugiwara caused trouble and tried to kill someone! Damn it! What did that idiot do? Did he declare war on this island or something? "

However, thinking that it no longer had anything to do with him, Bellamy preferred not to deal further with this problem which was not his. But as he was about to leave, he was surprised to see figures falling from the sky, landing in front of Zambe and the others.

"We're looking for Franky." Lucci stated. "Tell us where he is."

While laughing, Franky observed Heracross drinking an entire barrel of honey.

"HAHAHAHA! I've never seen an insect behave like that! It feels like I'm seeing myself when I haven't had a cola for a whole day."

"He's actually quite cute." Mozu stated.

"It looks like the beetles we tried to capture when we were kids." Kiwi said.

being hungry, the pokemon did not hesitate long to eat what the cyborg had just offered it. However, Heracross was initially surprised to appear in this unknown building and he was even more surprised when he saw Franky in front of him, holding his pokeball in his hand.

Remembering the cyborg, the pokemon would certainly have wanted to fight him, if Usopp had not intervened.

"So this bug is a monster from another planet called a pokemon." Franky repeated. "It's definitely the first time I've seen one."

being in the process of repairing Merry, Usopp shrugged, while stating.

"You seem to easily believe what people tell you! For my part, I would certainly have had a hard time believing that he came from another planet."

"Honestly, I've heard a lot of rumors." Franky stated. "The rumors about a group of people nicknamed 'Immigrants'! Certainly, I have never met them but, knowing the reputation of some of them, when Roger was alive, it is obvious that their existence is not a myth! If it were, the government would never put so much effort into erasing their existence."

Shrugging his shoulders again, Usopp continued to repair his boat.

"By the way, why are you talking to me like we're friends?"

"What? Are you still angry because I massacred you?" Franky asked. "You really hold a grudge."

"I forbid you from saying that to me after what you did." Usopp roared. "You are partly responsible for my current situation."

Hearing this, Franky and the others began to cry.

"YES! I can't believe you renounced your friendship with the rest of your companions just to protect your ship."

"It's so sad." Mozu and Kiwi agreed.

"Stop crying! I feel like you're making fun of me." Usopp growled.

"Idiot! I'm not crying." Franky retorted; "I just have a speck in my eye."

"It's the same for us." Assured Mozu and Kiwi.

"And then?" Usopp asked. "It's nice of you to bring me here but it's no use! Since Luffy and I are no longer friends, he'll never come here to save me! You're wasting your time."

"And you think your captain won't want to come and kick my ass because of the 200 million I stole from you."

"Losing money won't worry Luffy." Usopp retorted. "Besides, with 800 million, they have more than enough to afford another boat."

"800 million?" Mozu said again.

"How did you manage to amass such a treasure?" Kiwi asked. "We knew you still had a lot of money, but not this much."

"That doesn't concern you." Usopp retorted. "Be happy that you managed to steal 200 million from us! Truth be told, it's my fault! If I had been able to protect the money better, all this wouldn't have happened."

"Stop putting yourself down." Franky advised him. "Seriously, you impressed me when you came to us to collect your money! You and your beetle make a great duo! It's been a long time since I've had to be serious during a fight! But regarding your 200 million, I have to tell you something."

Immediately, Franky, Mozu and Kiwi took a strange pose, before declaring.

"We spent all the money."

"Yeah! We don't have anything left."

"You make me want to hit you even more." Usopp roared.

"Anyway, this is all in the past." Franky said. "You belonged to Mugiwara's crew and I'm the one who stole your money! But now we can forget all that! Besides, I have something to offer you! I'm going to recruit you! from now on , you and your beetle are part of the Franky Family."

"Out of the question." Usopp retorted. "I have no desire to spend my time destroying ships! Even if I'm no longer part of Luffy's crew, I'm still a pirate."

" All alone ? "

"I'll take care of myself." Usopp assured. "Besides, you should worry about your own health! From what I've heard, a violent storm is going to hit the island! Wouldn't it be better to take shelter elsewhere."

"No danger! This place is strong enough to withstand the power of the storm." Franky assured. "Besides, fortunately we put your boat here! Otherwise, it would have been destroyed by the storm."

"I was planning to leave the island before the storm arrived." Usopp affirmed.

"On this boat?" Franky asked, pushing up his sunglasses.

Examining the ship, he seemed skeptical.

"What is it?" Usopp asked.

Remaining silent for a few moments, Franky repeated Usopp's words.

"You say you plan to remain a pirate and want to continue your journey on this ship, right?"

"Yes! I plan to leave once I have completely repaired Merry."

"And what exactly do you plan to do once you're at sea?"

"I will have more adventures! And one day, I will return to East-Blue! Maybe I won't have traveled around the world, but I could brag to the villagers in my village that I have traveled on the Grand Line! This is already a huge achievement."

"What would be a feat is for you to return to East Blue alive, attempting to travel on this ship." Franky retorted.

"Huh?" Usopp was surprised.

At this moment, grabbing a small piece of wood that was placed on a table, Franky threw it towards Usopp.

" Look at this. "

Surprised, Usopp felt the piece of wood hit his forehead and had to juggle with it for a few moments, before grabbing it in his hands. Then looking at the object, he noticed that it was just a piece of rotten wood, which seemed wet.

"Huh…it's rotten wood."

"Exactly." Franky agreed, getting up. "And guess where that came from."

Walking towards the Merry, he declared.

"To bring your boat to safety here, I had to lift it and thus, I was able to take a look at its hull! And that's when I saw the state of the keel of your ship! to tell the truth, I barely had time to see her when this piece of wood fell off."

"This... This piece of wood?" Usopp wondered, staring at it.

"You got it right." Franky said. "The keel of your ship is so damaged that it has already started to rot! It's only a matter of time before it completely gives way! And when that happens, everything else on your ship will be destroyed! Therefore, I can tell you that your boat is ruined."

Hearing this, Usopp retorted.

"Shut up! This is all bullshit."

"Galley-La's diagnosis was correct." Franky insisted.

"They're just crooks." Usopp retorted. "I refuse to believe these guys."

Ignoring him, Franky cracked his knuckles, asserting as he did so.

"I'll do you a favor and help you destroy this ship now."

Seeing him walk towards Merry, Usopp ordered him.

" Don't do that. "

Continuing to walk, Franky pretended not to hear him.

"I forbid you from touching Merry."

Franky continued to move forward. Seeing him, Usopp screamed.

"HERACROSS! PLEASE!"

Hearing this, the pokemon abandoned its barrel of honey. Then, seeing the cyborg walking towards Merry, he finally took off before flying towards him.

Heracross uses HORN ATTACK .

"STOP!" Franky ordered him, positioning his hand towards him.

Stopping immediately, the pokemon noticed that Franky had his back turned to him, while he stated.

"If you really are his partner, let me do what's right to help him."

"Hera?"

Seeing the pokemon remain motionless, Usopp grabbed his slingshot.

"Merry is my ship! I won't let you destroy it."

"You're wrong." Franky retorted. "A boat that can no longer sail can no longer be called a boat."

Raising his glasses once again, he affirmed.

"It's just a wreck."

Running against the sea, Wiper felt the rain begin to fall around him.

"Damn it." He roared. "No trace of that damned woman in the ports." Hopefully the others were luckier than me. "

Continuing to run through the deserted streets of the city, the Shandian suddenly heard screams of agony.

"Huh?" He wondered, stopping.

Suddenly running towards him, Zambe's silhouette could be seen, while the man seemed to be running away from something.

"HELLLLLPPPPP!" The man shouted.

However, Wiper didn't even have time to react when he saw Zambe freeze, before collapsing to the ground. Still maintaining a stoic look, the Shandian saw Lucci, who was now in front of him, with his finger bleeding.

Remaining still, the two men stared at each other for a few moments, while Wiper tried to understand the situation. Finally, having already placed one hand on his bazooka, Wiper affirmed.

"I knew I was right to trust my instincts."

"Did you understand who I was?" Lucci asked.

"Let's just say something about you was bothering me."

at this moment, the other members of CP9 appeared.

"Another pirate?" Blueno asked.

"Should we ignore him and find Franky?" Kalifa asked.

"It's the best thing to do." Lucci said.

However, Wiper positioned his weapon towards them.

"You're the guys from earlier, right? Honestly, I don't care that you kidnapped that damn woman! However, I'm going to make you regret humiliating me right away hour. "

"Tsss! You're as stupid as your captain." Lucci affirmed. "Besides, you should be worried about him! We met him with the rest of his companions some time ago! And I can't guarantee his survival."

Wiper furrowed his brows upon hearing this, while retorting.

"You will not defeat me."

Letting out a sigh, Blueno stated.

"I think we'll have to take care of him."

However, he was surprised to see Kaku walking in front of him before heading towards Wiper.

"Hey, Lucci! You're the one who was worried I'd lost my fighting skills, right?"

Facing Wiper, he assured.

"Let me take your fears away! In two minutes, this guy will be down."
