Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Weak?!

These words completely triggered Lucci's nerves.

The next moment, Lucci's body began to swell, his originally well-fitting black suit became completely taut, his exposed skin revealed feline patterns, his hands transformed into claw-like shapes, and a tail extended from behind him.

"Zoan Type, Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Form!"

As Lucci slowly stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he had completely transformed into a leopard standing upright.

"You pirates..."

As Lucci's voice rang out, Lucci, who had completely unleashed his Devil Fruit power and whose strength, speed, and stamina had all increased dramatically, vanished from his spot in an instant.

"court death!"

The next instant, Lucci's voice rang out behind Rao G, and a claw as big as Rao G's head slammed down on the back of his head.

Just as Lucci's claws were about to strike Lao G's forehead, Lucci only saw a blur before Lao G's body shifted and he was already close to the inside of Lucci's arm. Lao G's slightly contemptuous eyes met Lucci's.

"The Pain of the Undying Warrior: The Style of Lower Back Pain!"

Lucci's pupils contracted. Unable to see Rao G's movements clearly, Lucci felt as if all the joints in his body were suddenly attacked by countless attacks at the same time.

That's fast!

Lucci has always been extremely proud of his speed, especially after revealing his "Leopard Form," in which he is virtually unmatched in speed within the CP9 organization.

However, compared to Rao G's speed, Lucci couldn't even see the trajectory of Rao G's attack, let alone defend against it.

"Da da da da da..."

Amidst Rao G's series of shouts, and with Rao G's final shout, Lucci, who had transformed into a giant leopard, was blasted away.

"Young man, you haven't even mastered the art of dominance yet. You're far from ready. The new world isn't a place for a weakling like you..."

As Lucci's vision blurred slightly from the blast, a slightly contemptuous voice reached his ears, deeply provoking him.

The next moment, just when Rao G thought Lucci would collapse and lose consciousness.

While still in mid-air, Lucci slammed his tail down on the ground, using that momentum to quickly adjust his posture and then thrust his legs forward.

"Don't be so arrogant, old man."

"Naval Six Style: Shave!"

Lucci forcefully propelled his creaking body forward, lunging at Rao G with ferocious ferocity.

How... how could he fall without even taking down a single enemy?!

The weak have no right to survive!

We must not become a burden!

Lucky's mind was filled with memories of the past, the brutal training, the CP9 training where only the strong could survive.

Subtly, Lucci's figure seemed to expand even further.

At the very least, we must take down one enemy.

Use a move you haven't fully mastered yet to take him down in one strike!

At this moment, Lucci seemed to have completely transformed into a ferocious and belligerent beast, attempting to tear Rao G to shreds.

"Six Styles of Profound Techniques: Six Kings Spear"

Just as Lucci was rapidly gathering all his strength, preparing for his final burst, a joyful voice rang out behind him.

"Hahaha, that combative look in my eyes is so interesting, I love it..."

"but……"

That voice, which seemed full of innocence, suddenly turned bloodthirsty and cold.

"Die, you little leopard!"

As Deringer's voice fell, the betta fish fins hidden behind him were exposed in the air and trembled repeatedly, propelling Deringer to such a speed that he caught up with Lucci, and kicked straight at Lucci's neck.

"A headless high heel!"

This move, favored by Deringer due to his fighting fish bloodline and his innate bloodlust and belligerence, can easily break an enemy's neck with a single kick, sending their head flying high into the air and causing a fountain of blood, representing the loser, to fall across the battlefield.

[Chapter 199. Am I really that weak?]

Rob Lucci noticed out of the corner of his eye the high heel kicking towards his neck from behind, and the hair on his body stood on end involuntarily.

will die!

Instinct told Lucci that his relatively fragile neck could not possibly withstand a kick that could shatter an entire building.

Driven by his survival instinct, Lucci instinctively tried to interrupt the charging of "Six Styles Secret Technique: Six Kings Spear" to dodge.

However, Lucci forcibly suppressed this instinct the next moment, realizing that even if he hid, he would only be prolonging his life.

Under Rao G's "Back Pain Style: Undead Warrior's Pain" attack, Lucci could clearly feel his joints creaking and groaning, on the verge of collapse.

This... is Lucci's last move. If he misses this opportunity, he will never have another chance to retaliate like this again.

Am I really that weak?

Besieged by Rao G and Dellinger, Rob Lucci began to question himself for the first time.

Was I just a weakling all along?

That's true, since they're the weak, it's normal for them to die here...

But at least I should bring someone with me!

Just as Lucci's eyes flashed with ferocity, like a dying beast gathering its power to unleash the "Naval Six Styles Secret Technique: Six Kings Spear" with all its might.

"Honestly, now that you're dead, I'm really in trouble!"

A slightly helpless voice reached Lucci's ears, and the next moment, a flurry of brilliant cherry blossoms fell in front of Deringer.

Deringer's pupils contracted as he looked at the cherry blossoms that suddenly appeared in front of him, which seemed incredibly fragile and could be easily crushed.

"Has it made a move? That monster!"

If there are any groups on this vast ocean who, besides Robin and his companions, understand Yann's power best, then it would undoubtedly be the Don Quixote Family executives.

It was in the "Birdcage" released by Doflamingo that the seemingly frail Yann killed Doflamingo head-on.

Perhaps the Donquixote Family executives were unaware of the specific details of the battle, but they were fully aware of Doflamingo's power.

And the seemingly gentle and frail Yann's power was even greater than Doflamingo's.

Almost instinctively, the fins on Deringer's back twitched in the opposite direction, continuing to slow down. He then rolled over in mid-air, hugging his legs, and dodged in the opposite direction from the cherry blossoms.

Not only Dellinger, but even Rao G, who was on high alert but whose expression was calm and confident, and who accurately met Lucci's counterattack head-on, changed his expression drastically when he saw the cherry blossoms falling and retreated instantly.

Rob Lucci, who was in dire straits and preparing for a final, desperate counterattack, was stunned. He had no idea that the situation would change so abruptly.

Clearly... that rear admiral from the Navy Headquarters only summoned a few cherry blossoms to fall, how could it have such a deterrent effect?

However, these cherry blossoms really do look quite beautiful...

Rob Lucci, who had just teetered on the brink of death, was inexplicably moved by the dreamlike and dazzling cherry blossoms, and subconsciously reached out towards the nearest grove of cherry blossoms.

"Zi~"

Cherry blossoms fell, but Lucci failed to catch one. Instead, a cut appeared on his claw, and blood began to seep out.

"I say, does your CP9 organization really not know even the slightest bit about me? Cherry blossoms are beautiful, but they wither easily, so don't you understand the principle that they shouldn't be touched?"

Arn's voice rang out beside Lucci, his tone slightly helpless.

"Is this your Devil Fruit ability?"

Rob Lucci paused, a hint of embarrassment on his face, then tilted his head slightly, seemingly offering a casual explanation.

“The responsibilities and areas of responsibility of each organization from CP0 to CP9 are different. CP9 is mainly responsible for matters related to Enies Lobby, so it does not have the authority to know much of the Navy’s intelligence and it is not necessary for it to know it.”

Just as Yann rescued Lucci and began to speak with him, Corazon felt as if he had made a mistake.

A kitten?!

Corazon turned his head toward Gion, who was fighting Pica, the user of the Rock-Rock Fruit, and Machbais, the user of the Ton-Pound Fruit, not far behind him, and was gradually regaining some initiative.

The female swordsman's swordplay was undeniably graceful and heroic, but compared to Lucci, who had transformed into a large leopard, the nickname "kitten" seemed more fitting.

"Hiss... Could it be that Ahn doesn't have feelings for Colonel Gion, but rather for Lucci?"

"Petting cats... no, Little Gold isn't enough for him anymore, is he going to pet a leopard now?"

Corazon was completely baffled as to why Yann, as a Marine, would be so determined to recruit Lucci, a member of CP9.

Given Aon's position and preferences, shouldn't the kitten in his eyes be Gion?

However, Corazon witnessed firsthand how Arn ignored Gion's predicament and instead chose to step in to help Lucci, which made him waver.

If Yann knew what Corazon was thinking, he would definitely have the urge to rub that idiot into the ground.

Gion looked disheveled, but she clearly still had the ability to protect herself.

Arn isn't blind, and as a man proficient in Observation Haki, how could Arn not sense the ferocity of Pica and Machabys's attacks, yet subtly show them mercy?

On the contrary, Lucci, Delinger, and Rao G's attacks were all deadly. If Yann didn't make a move, Lucci might be finished.

After Corazon realized he had apparently misjudged Lucci, he was somewhat reluctant to see his sworn brother make such a choice, but he still kept his promise and continued to put pressure on Lucci.

"Yarn, are you really that concerned about this spy?"

Corazon sneered, his tone laced with amusement. "Since that's the case, then I'll let you taste the pain and torment of seeing someone you cherish die right before your eyes, and being powerless to stop it."

Immediately, under Corazon's command, the remaining Don Quixote family executives all attacked together, joining forces to strike Lucci, who was being protected by Yann.

? !

Ya'en.

???

Lucci.

In an instant, a full-blown conflict erupted at the port of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, dividing the entire battlefield into three areas: Arn and Lucci, Gion alone, and the remaining naval soldiers who formed a defensive line to protect the warships.

The battlefields where Arn and Lucci were located were particularly intense!
