Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 396: Lu Qi: The World's Strongest is Worth a Fight

".Black Snake Reiner, it looks like you won't let us in easily."

"Hahaha, that's fine too."

A sinister laugh came from the collapsed ruins. In the smoke and dust, two points of scarlet light could be vaguely seen, and a circle of dark purple flames ignited.

A hand with yellow fur and black spots pushed away the smoke, transforming into a half-beast leopard man. Lucci grinned, revealing his deadly fangs, and walked out with an arrogant expression.

"The strongest in the world? That's worth a challenge. Let me give it a try and see if you're not just a title."

Lucci sneered and tore off his shirt, revealing his tight and strong muscles wrapped in smooth lines, all of which showed his powerful explosive power and speed.

Behind him, a dark purple flame cloud passed over his shoulders. Lucci lowered his body into a half-crouching position and faced Reiner from dozens of meters away.

"..Flame Cloud, like Reiner, is this guy also an Awakened Animal-type?"

Seeing his posture, Usopp quickly recognized him, his expression solemn, and tightened the weapon in his hand.

"It ended up being a head-on battle."

Seeing that fighting was inevitable, the faces of all the CP0 members became solemn and gloomy.

Kaku's body gradually expanded, his neck stretched several times longer, his skin turned yellow and brown, and he transformed into a giraffe orc.

Like Lucci, he also had a burning cloud of flames wrapped around his shoulders.

"There's another Awakener?!"

Usopp couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this.

Several people from both sides stared at each other warily until.

"S—Bear, assist us in the battle."

Lucci spoke coldly, and at the same time he lowered his body and lay down, with his thigh muscles tensed tightly.

drop drop~
"Receive instructions."

The Seraph made a cold electronic mechanical sound at the same time.

boom! !

Lucci kicked hard, and his whole body was launched towards Reiner at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and his figure turned into an afterimage.

His feet stomped violently on the air, making waves of sound. The techniques of shaving and moon step were perfectly integrated, and the trails left behind were like the light of a cold knife wherever he passed.

Coming in front of Reiner, Lucci swept across with a flying kick, and the sharp claws on his toes flashed with cold light and tore towards his throat!

"razor!!"

Faced with this fast and powerful attack, Reiner slightly turned his body to the side. His movements seemed slow, but they were actually so fast that an afterimage appeared, and his sharp claws almost scratched his neck.

The attack missed, and the two figures quickly crossed each other.

Lucci's feet rubbed against the ground and slid for dozens of meters before stopping. He turned around and leaned over, his eyes fixed on Reiner. He used his hands and feet to dig a few times on the ground, and ran out on all fours at an extremely fast speed.

"Fingergun Hunting!!"

Coming in front of Reiner, Lucci quickly covered his wrist with black armament color, stretched out a finger, gathered all the strength into the fingertips and stabbed it out, aiming directly at the throat.

Reiner raised one arm, also covered with Armament Haki, and used the back of his hand to block the sharp claws, preventing them from advancing an inch.

Clang! !

A spark flew out, Lucci retracted his claws and grinned, supported himself with one hand and quickly spun his body, then swung a high whip kick towards his head.

Reiner remained calm, moving his arm to the side and firmly blocking the opponent's whip kick.

boom! !

The strong wind pressure created a circular impact, even disrupting the island clouds on the ground.

"Rasukyuu: Chaos!!"

Lucci stood upside down with his hands on the ground, twisted his waist and spun around, kicking his feet continuously, leaving afterimages, and a large number of wind sickles flew out as fast as a rain of pear blossoms.

Reiner crossed his arms to block, his armor color dark and deep.

Ding!Ding!Ding!
The wind sickle chopped down on his arm, making a dense and crisp sound like hitting steel, but without leaving any trace.

Lucci continued to exert his strength, and the wind sickle like a violent storm pushed Reiner's feet to the ground and slid back little by little.

Although he just wanted to play with the cat for fun, Lucci's strength was not that bad.

Having practiced the six styles to the extreme, whether it is the connection between moves or the combat reaction ability, all the physical skills are worthy of the title of genius.

Although the Cat-Cat Fruit Leopard Form is not a very powerful devil fruit, it can greatly improve the opponent's strength, speed, and various physical qualities.

For this kind of pure physical training practitioner, the animal-type fruit is indeed the most comprehensive and all-round combination, and after awakening, there has been a qualitative leap.

Even in the New World, the opponent's strength is ranked among the top strong, what a pity.

Met Reiner.

"Heh, the strongest person in the world shouldn't be limited to this ability."

Seeing Reiner retreating, Lucci's mouth curled up slightly and his feet moved more vigorously.

But the next moment.

call out!
The madly pouring Fei Lian all hit nothing, and Reiner's figure suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the dark shadow of a palm came into view, and a dark bone ring worn on the index finger was faintly emitting a strange glow.

"Again?"

Lucci was startled, and he used his hands to support himself on the ground, turned over and jumped backwards. Just as he left the ground, Reiner's figure teleported to him again.

"I do have many methods. I'm just worried that you won't be able to handle them. After all."

"That's really all you have."

Snapped--!
Reiner said jokingly, opened his five fingers and grabbed the other person's face, holding it directly, and slammed it against the metal wall of the institute!
boom! !

The back of his head hit the wall so hard that even the hard and thick metal wall was twisted and deformed. Lucci's eyes rolled back with bloodshot eyes and he almost fainted on the spot.

After releasing his hand, Lucci's body began to slide down, and Reiner lashed out with a violent whip kick, covered with armed color, and the black instep slammed into the opponent's abdomen!

boom! !

"Pfft-!!"

His abdomen was churning, and Lucci spat out a mouthful of blood. He arched his back and hit the wall, and then his whole body slid down like a puddle of mud.

"Cough! Cough cough. Puff!"

Several cracks appeared on the metal wall. Lucci knelt on the ground with his hands supporting his body. His eyes were bloodshot and he couldn't help coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood. His face was extremely painful.

Just as he raised his foot and was about to continue, a golden laser shot towards him!
Reiner stopped moving, his feet hanging in the air, and the laser beam shot past almost the sole of his shoe.

Simultaneously.

A tall figure suddenly appeared behind him and enveloped him, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

"Pressure artillery!"

s-Bear raised his hand high, condensed a ball of compressed air in the shape of a bear's paw with his meat ball, and pushed it out from top to bottom!

boom!
Reiner turned quickly, raised his foot and swept it high, hitting the s-bear's arm with his heel.

The ball of compressed air deflected a little and flew away from the palm of his hand, directly hitting the back of Lucci who was kneeling on the ground.

A dazzling white light burst out, Reiner and S-Bear quickly pulled back, and the compressed ball of terrifying energy exploded directly!

boom! !

The violent explosion caused the small island to tremble, and violent wind pressure rushed out.

The two sides in the fierce battle retreated, and everyone turned their heads suddenly to look.

"What an exaggerated explosion! What happened?"

Usopp's face turned grave as he watched the explosion that had left the surrounding area in ruins. Only after the exaggerated commotion gradually subsided did the others begin to see what had happened.

A gap was blown through the thick metal wall, and a huge bear-paw-shaped hole collapsed on the ground of the island.

Lucci, in leopard man form, was covered in blood, lying motionless in a deep pit, his eyes rolled back and bloodshot, and he was almost unconscious.

"Lucci!!"

Kaku cried out in disbelief, and several others also felt it was incredible.

They knew Lucci's strength best. With his skills, even if the opponent was stronger, he shouldn't be defeated so quickly.

“Is the gap really that big?”

Bruno was in a complicated mood. He looked at Reiner solemnly and clenched his fists subconsciously.

Two years ago, he had fought against the other side, or rather, he had fought against the two undead spirits of the other side, and was beaten to a pulp in just a few encounters.

I didn't expect that after two years, even though I was countless times stronger than before, I still couldn't see any hope of winning when facing this man again.

"Cover me! Bruno, prepare to retreat!"

Kaku yelled, rushing towards Lucci's position.

Bruno nodded, "I understand."

"It's not that simple!"

boom!boom!
Usopp immediately jumped up with his gun raised, and fired two bullets into Kaku's path, interrupting him.

"Do you think you can come and go as you please here?"

"That's right. We can't rest easy if we leave a group of killers on the island."

Nami shouted in a low voice, and swung the weather stick wrapped in thunder. A ferocious thunder dragon containing terrifying energy bit down towards Bruno.

boom! ! boom! !
The powerful explosion stopped Kaku in his tracks.

Faced with the Thunder Dragon that was about to arrive, Bruno could only jump back quickly to avoid it, and it was also difficult for him to use the ability of the Door-Door Fruit.

“This is bad.”

Seeing that the other party had no intention of letting them leave, Kaku and others' expressions suddenly became solemn.

Khalifa glanced at the situation on the field, raised her glasses and thought quickly.

Facing Reiner, it was difficult for S-Bear to hold him back.

The remaining Thunder users, Snipers, and Hana-Han-Fu Fruit users all possess long-range attack capabilities, and their abilities are all known for their speed.

The possibility of rescuing Luki from the enemy's hands and finding an opportunity to use the power of the Door-Door Fruit to evacuate them all is almost zero.

The field is now 5v4, unless.
Kalifa glanced at her teammates with a complicated expression, a hint of determination in her eyes.
"You guys fight and retreat at the same time. Bruno, once you get close to Lucci, use your ability to take him away. I'll cover you."

"What about you?"

Bruno glanced back at her.

Now that he was gone, Kalifa was completely powerless to resist Nami.

Not to mention one person, even if there were two people, they would still be suppressed and beaten by the other side until now.

Bruno understood what Khalifa meant. If he didn't stay, he would have no chance at all.

It's a pity that he couldn't be responsible for covering the retreat. Without his Menmen Fruit, no one else would be able to evacuate.

Even if you do this, it is just a tiny possibility in a desperate situation.

Kaku and the others gritted their teeth, their faces looking a little ugly.

At this moment, Stussy suddenly spoke,
"Just do as Khalifa says, though."

"Leave it to me to cover the rear. The success rate will be higher."

Stussy dodged Robin's attack and turned back with a slight smile:
"You know what I mean. As an agent, you should put aside your emotions and act rationally. In this situation, don't hesitate any longer."

"hateful!"

Kaku clenched his fists unwillingly, but there was no time to argue about who would stay, so he immediately shouted:

"Follow Stussy's plan and prepare to retreat!"

As soon as the words fell, the other people gritted their teeth and scattered, fighting and retreating at the same time.

Bruno uses Shave to quickly rush towards Lucci.

"Rain Legs: Golden Thread!!"

Stussy kicked out dozens or even hundreds of dense wind sickles like thin lines, which collided with Nami's lightning and exploded.

Kalifa took the opportunity to switch opponents with her, using the Soap Fruit to lubricate her skin and the Paper Painting to soften her body, constantly struggling to break free from the joint techniques that Robin used to perform with the hands she grew on her body.

CP0's tacit cooperation was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Kaku used his speed advantage and various means of resistance, so he didn't seem to feel that much pressure when facing Usopp's precise shooting.

As he watched the two people gradually retreat, a strange glint appeared in the depths of Stussy's eyes.

The CP organization is composed of agents who are proficient in various espionage capabilities, and CP0 is the best among them. It is not easy to pass information to Vegapunk under the noses of several people.

The crisis Egghead is facing now is far more than just a few killers. The navy's large force is about to attack, and she must find a way to meet Vegapunk.

Being caught by the Straw Hat Pirates is a perfect way to not only be able to kill Vegapunk, but also not easily expose his identity as an undercover agent in the World Government.

Besides
Seeing Bruno about to approach Lucci under her cover, Stussy's eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of relief.

Although they had only been together for two short years, she truly felt a friendship with these people that she had never felt before.

At this moment, she also sincerely hoped that these few friends could escape successfully.

call out--!
With only about ten meters left, Bruno tried his best to use the "Shave" again, and finally succeeded in squatting next to Lucci.

"Now! Go!"

Stussy followed suit, and facing Nami's lightning strike, she did not dodge or evade, protecting the two of them behind her, and kicked out a storm kick with all her strength to resist it.

"Space Gate!!"

Bruno took the opportunity to activate his ability, waved his hand to open a space channel in the air, and immediately grabbed Lucci's hand.

"I'm leaving now, Stussy! Wait, we'll come get you!"

Finally, Bruno pulled Lucci and shouted to Stussy, then squatted down and was about to jump into the passage.

however.

"Teleport."

Just as Lucci was about to be rescued, a deep voice suddenly appeared behind him.

As soon as he heard the sound, Bruno noticed that the force in his hand suddenly became heavier. He was startled and turned around immediately.

A figure stood with its back to the glaring sun, looking down at him from above, with one foot on Lucci's back. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull.

"Black Snake Reiner!"

Bruno squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, his eyes angry and somewhat unwilling.

Almost succeeded!!
"You're really angry, right? Tsk, I think I've seen this scene somewhere before."

Reiner said jokingly:

"I remember now. Two years ago, when we were trying to take Robin away, you all jumped out to stop us."

"History always repeats itself in a surprising way, but this time the roles are reversed, and you..."

The playful smile on Reiner's face slowly faded, and he said coldly:
"You don't have the power to take anyone away from me."
