I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

"You know him?"

"Otherwise, I don't think you can escape from them."

Doberman asked. As a vice admiral with Observation Haki, he had seen the flintlock musket fighting technique that Bai Yun used in his battle with Onigumo. After all, it was a vice admiral who had made the move, so it was difficult for them not to sense it.

When Beckman is mentioned, Bai Yun immediately pictured the old chain smoker, and shrugged.

"I don't know that philandering 'old geezer' who loves to smoke and pretends to be a gentleman."

Bai Yun's words made Doberman raise an eyebrow. The fact that Bai Yun dared to say that made him even more certain that his relationship with Beckman was not shallow.

"You actually came, Fire Mountain."

Doberman ignored Bai Yun and looked at Huoshaoshan, who had followed behind Bai Yun.

Because of his jack-of-all-trades personality, Fire Mountain got along well with everyone else in the Navy. Doberman's words weren't meant to anger Fire Mountain or make him look down on him, but rather to question why a mere rookie pirate with a bounty of 8000 million would cause such a stir? Even he, who was supposed to be on the warship, had left to chase after him.

However, when he was 80% certain that Bai Yun and Beckman were related, Doberman felt that it was reasonable to treat Bai Yun, a rookie pirate, in this way.

But he also knew the Red-Haired Pirates' character. If Bai Yun really had something to do with Beckman, then if he were captured or died, the Red-Haired Pirates would probably cause a huge uproar.

Beckman: Make a scene? Even if I die, I'll turn Marine Headquarters into a sieve.

"Long-haired Bai Yun is more dangerous than we imagined. The 8000 million bounty... is too low."

"You saw it too."

Huoshaoshan replied that he just couldn't believe that Berman hadn't seen the battle between Ghost Spider and him and Bai Yun.

"Oh dear, you're praising me so much, I'll feel embarrassed. General Fire Mountain, I'm not as powerful as you think. You really don't need to... chase after me across the boat."

Bai Yun said that if Huoshaoshan also came, he would probably have to use his trump card to escape from the two lieutenant generals or defeat them.

Just as the mountain was about to make its move, Luffy unleashed his Gear Third punch, the loud noise drawing everyone's attention.

Chapter 522 I'm Afraid of Death

Luffy unleashed a Gear Third punch, directly shattering another pillar along with Lucci.

Lu Qi, feeling like he was about to faint from the force of the fist, knew this wouldn't do! He immediately bit his tongue to stay awake, but then he remembered the ocean below him—was he really going to lose like this?

Who knew that when he fell, he didn't fall into the sea, but instead landed on something solid.

It was the deck of a naval warship, right where he had been shot out, and a warship was approaching.

“Who is it?!”

"A beast?"

"No, they're ability users!!"

"He flew over from the other side of the bridge, and I think I saw a giant hand."

As an assassin for the World Government, Lucci is not someone that many people would recognize. These ordinary soldiers who are discussing him are obviously people who don't know him.

Listening to the soldiers' chatter and the flags fluttering in the air, Lucci realized what was happening and thought to himself.

It's the deck of a warship! There's hope...

Standing up, Lucci deactivated his human-beast form.

The soldiers were startled and immediately raised their weapons.

"Who are you!? I'm asking you a question!!"

"Idiot! Put the gun down!!"

"Colonel?"

At this moment, on the warship without a lieutenant general in command, a colonel spoke up to stop the soldiers from raising Lucci.

"He is... Rob Lucci of CP9!"

"Huh? What?!"

"I'm so sorry!! Please have mercy!!"

Upon hearing the name Rob Lucci, the soldiers were so frightened that they fell to the ground, dropping their spears.

They had probably all heard about Rob Lucci's madness and his "illness," and were afraid that this madman might kill them in a fit of anger.

"Shut up, it's so noisy."

Lu Qi took off his shirt, revealing the scars on his back, which further confirmed his identity. As soon as he spoke, the soldiers immediately obeyed and covered their mouths.

"Rubber Rocket!"

At this moment, Luffy flew out. Because the air in his fist was squeezed into his body, Luffy now looks like a balloon.

"What flew out again?!"

"It's Straw Hat Luffy with a bounty of 100 million!!"

"We're rich!! Let's fight!!!"

The soldiers immediately opened fire, dreaming of getting rich.

However, the bullets had no effect on Luffy.

Luffy raised his right leg high, stretched it out, and all the energy in his body was squeezed into his right leg, making it instantly stronger.

"Gum-Gum Giant Axe!!"

With one step, the entire massive warship collapsed in the middle, while the sides rose up.

"Whoa!! Is he a giant?!"

The soldiers fled in panic.

Lucci jumped onto the mast to dodge Luffy's kick, then flew close to Luffy. When he reached Luffy's side, he had transformed into his full beast form, a leopard. He opened his mouth and bit Luffy's right hand, causing blood to splatter.

"Awoooooo!!"

"Whaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

One sound was the low growl of a wild beast, and the other was Luffy's cry of pain.

Seeing that Lucci wouldn't give up until he bit off Lucci's arm, Luffy's right leg contracted again, and Luffy's body grew stronger again, forcefully pushing Lucci away.

Lucci stepped back, transformed back into human form, and stood on the mast once more.

Luffy moved quickly, channeling his energy into his feet, and kicked Lucci on the mast.

"Rubber Rubber Giant Whip!"

With a single sweep of the kick, all three masts on the warship were snapped in two.

Lucci was fast enough to jump and dodge.

"Whoa! Watch out!! The mast is breaking!!"

"It's going to fall!!"

"That fight between those two was outrageous!!"

When the strong fight, it's always the bystanders who suffer. Lucci wasn't injured, but the soldiers were chased and pelted by masts and broken planks.

After dodging Luffy's attack, Lucci followed up with a Finger Pistol, hitting Luffy's shoulder, and then instantly appeared behind Luffy. "His attack power increased, but his speed decreased."

Lucci pointed out Luffy's weakness in being tricked, so Luffy's Gear Fourth later combined the speed of Gear Second with the power of Gear Third.

After his taunt, Lucci kicked Lu Fei off the deck, followed by a move: "Storm Kick - Kai Bird!"

He unleashed a bird-shaped storm kick, which was very wide.

The slash cut through the iron plate, which was over a hundred meters wide and tens of meters thick, covering the naval warship.

Luffy retracted his Gear Third kick and slashed down close to Luffy's foot. If he had been any slower, the foot would have been sliced ​​open.

"That was close, I was almost cut in half."

Luffy breathed a sigh of relief, while Lucci, standing in the air, revealed a smug smile.

Bai Yun and the three vice admirals watched Luffy and Lucci's battle.

Seeing that the warship was damaged and in a complete mess, Onigumo picked up the Den Den Mushi receiver without hesitation.

"Rob Lucci will not die."

"All gunners on the ship, aim at the No. 4 warship, and begin firing in five seconds."

The soldiers around him, upon hearing Onigumo's order, could hardly believe their eyes. "Lieutenant General...you're not kidding, are you?! There are over 1000 of our men up there!"

"boom!"

Onigumo also drew his gun without hesitation and shot the soldier who had opened his mouth.

The soldier howled in pain.

Onigumo coldly replied, "If a moment's hesitation leads to the escape of a criminal, how will you face the future?"

"fire!!"

The flames engulfed the No. 4 warship where Lucci and Luffy were located.

On the warship where Doberman was stationed, Bai Yun watched this scene.

"Is this... justice?"

"Two vice admirals, in order to capture a pirate, fired on their own men."

"How many of your soldiers are up there? How many of them are strong enough to withstand artillery fire?"

"Of course, I'm not pitying them. As pirates, I think I should laugh when your navy soldiers die, right?"

Bai Yun's question went straight to the heart of the matter.

Onigumo supports Akainu's absolute justice, which is why he did what he did.

Huoshaoshan clearly didn't belong to the absolute righteous faction, so he remained silent.

Doberman looked fierce and menacing, and he loathed pirates so much that even the Four Emperors dared to criticize him, but he still cursed the act of shelling his own warship.

"That madman, Onigumo!"

However, it was just a curse. There were no of his confidants or his men on that No. 4 warship, so of course he couldn't afford to make enemies with Onigumo because of it.

"Is one insult enough?"
