The air in the reception room seemed to have been sucked out by this blow.

Iceberg's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively stepped back, while Barry and the other boatmen were dumbfounded.

however--

"This is really troublesome~"

A clear and firm female voice suddenly rang out.

The moment the words fell, a strange cloud of mist condensed and took shape between Lucci and V without warning!

That wasn't ordinary fog.

It was a dreamy azure blue, with tiny electric currents running inside, surging and expanding like a living thing. In the blink of an eye, it swelled into a cloud with a diameter of three meters, completely blocking Lucci's path forward!

Lucky's pupils contracted sharply.

"laugh!"

The five finger-gun energies disappeared into the clouds, but like a mud ox entering the sea, they only stirred up a tiny ripple.

"Cloud Cage - Thunder Prison Heavenly Punishment!"

Nami's voice came from behind the clouds, clear and majestic.

The next moment, the pale purple cloud suddenly burst out with dazzling light!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!

Chapter 170 Alan Killer

Countless fine blue-white electric currents burst forth from within the cloud. They did not scatter randomly, but rather wrapped around Lucci's arms, torso, and legs with precision, like living tentacles.

"Uhh—!!"

Lucci let out a suppressed roar of pain.

The intensity of the electric current far exceeded his imagination—it not only instantly paralyzed all his muscles, but also penetrated the Armament Haki defense on his body surface, directly impacting his nerves and internal organs.

What's even more frightening is that the clouds themselves are not simply a carrier.

After being activated by the electric current, a strange change occurred inside the cloud: the mist particles formed an invisible force field network in the high-frequency vibration, firmly "sticking" Lucci's body to the spot.

This is the benefit of ultra-high computing power!

Even though she had just obtained the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, Nami's brain had already helped her come up with various ways to use the fruit.

Its effect is even more powerful than all previous users of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit combined.

Amidst the turbulent thunderclouds, Lucci attempted to harden his body with "Iron Block" and break free of his restraints with "Moonwalk," but all his efforts were dissolved into nothingness by the combined effects of the cloud's flexibility and the electric current's paralyzing effect.

"A Logia-type Devil Fruit user!?"

Kaku gasped in shock, a crack appearing on his usually composed expression for the first time.

Jabra, the owl, and Kuchiki did not show much change in expression.

Having experienced V's transformation, they knew all too well how astonishing V's methods were.

Therefore, V's allies are far more powerful than they can even imagine.

This is why, no matter how angry Gabra was, he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack V.

"Straw Hat Crew, as Shichibukai, do you really want to go against the World Government!?"

Gabra shouted at the top of his lungs, but seeing Lucci's painful state, he didn't dare to take a single step forward.

"Strange~"

At this moment, V walked out with a smile.

"You few? You think you can represent the world government?"

His tone was light yet laced with sharp sarcasm, "You few lurking pawns aren't even qualified to take direct action, yet you dare to represent the World Government!?"

"Perfect timing. The World Government owes me the remaining balance for the Devil Fruit and has even secretly sent Akainu to cause trouble. I'll use you guys to settle part of this debt first."

Nami slowly lowered her raised right hand.

Tiny arcs of electricity still flickered in her palms, and a faint purple aura swirled around her. Her eyes, which always gleamed with shrewd calculation, now burned with a chilling fighting spirit.

"So this is what it feels like to have power?"

Nami murmured to herself, a confident smile curving her lips.

Perhaps it was because she was an expert in meteorology and had a thorough understanding of cloud structure, airflow changes, and charge distribution;

Or perhaps it was because her keen intuition and precise calculation ability just made up for the lack of control over Logia-type Devil Fruits in the early stages.

With a single blow, she, unarmed, successfully defeated CP9's former top agent.

The Straw Hat crew, who already knew Nami's strength, didn't show much emotion.

After all, each of them is constantly getting stronger every day, and Lu Qi is no longer a threat to them.

Even Usopp, who is currently considered the weakest member of the Straw Hat crew, has at least a hundred ways to defeat Lucci.

But the iceberg beside him turned pale, and his body involuntarily took half a step back, his back slamming heavily against the cold wall.

His eyes widened, his pupils reflecting the chaotic scene inside the reception room.

"Agents of the World Government..."

"Infiltrating..."

At that moment, it felt as if an icicle was being plunged into the iceberg's taut nerves.

He never imagined that... so many of the people he trusted most were actually agents of the World Government.

The atmosphere in the reception room suddenly plummeted to freezing point.

Several CP9 agents exchanged glances and instantly reached a tacit understanding.

Now that the disguise has been torn off and the mission is on the verge of failure, there is no other way but to go all out!

"Let's do it!"

Jabra let out a low growl, its figure suddenly transforming into a white wolf shadow. The smoke swirling around its body and its beast-like claws erupted simultaneously, lunging straight at Nami, who had just unleashed her thundercloud technique.

Almost at the same time—

"Yo yo yo! Defeat the weak enemy first!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Wei Qu's body suddenly transformed, and a ring of pink downy hair grew around his neck, blending with his long pink hair. The downy hair shot out like venomous snakes, its tips sharp as spears, blocking Nami's escape route on the flank.

"Clatter clatter clatter! Weight adjustment - one kilogram!" The owl suddenly leaped up like a bouncy ball and spun rapidly in the air. Its body suddenly became as light as a feather, but it circled behind Nami in a strange arc, its outstretched arms closing like iron clamps.

Kaku then slightly lowered his body, swung his long leg, and shouted, "Storm Kick!"

A sharp, blade-like vacuum slash pierced the air, combining with Gabra's frontal assault to form a crisscrossing web of deadly attacks!

Kalifa was a beat slower, but she followed up with a Tempest Kick as a supplement.

The combined attack of five CP9 agents almost completely shut down Nami's space to dodge!

however--

"Hey, hey, isn't it a bit much for so many people to bully our ship's navigator?"

A lazy voice suddenly rang out.

Usopp had somehow appeared in front of Nami, and he was more than enough to deal with several CP9 agents on his own!

Suddenly, his hands, which had been modified many times and were now covered with intricate engravings and energy circuits, transformed into two enormous cannons.

Five specially made shells, as black as ink and with strange spiral patterns flowing on their surfaces, silently coalesced.

The power from the Devil Badge and the Track Fruit quietly activated within Usopp.

In an instant, the entire reception room was covered by countless fine, silk-like "trajectory lines" in his field of vision—trajectory lines of air flow, enemy advance, energy fluctuations, and even the "future trajectory lines" of the shells that had not yet been fired.

At this moment, these trajectory lines are quietly twisting, intersecting, and reweaving according to his will.

call out--!

Five shells were fired at the same time!

However, their flight paths were extremely strange: instead of heading straight for the enemy, they drew five arcs that defied the laws of physics, as if they were being pulled by invisible threads, precisely avoiding all obstacles, and finally hovering less than half a meter in front of Jabra, Weiqu, the owl, Kaku, and Kalifa respectively.

The moment the shell came to a stop, the surface patterns suddenly lit up with a dark red light.

"Iron block!"

The five men's pupils constricted sharply, and they almost instinctively activated the Six Styles of Defensive Technique.

Hardened muscles, skin like iron, and Armament Haki covering their entire bodies—this is the defensive technique that CP9 is most proud of.

Everything happened too suddenly.

Even the iceberg was terrified by those five shells.

His reception room was indeed quite large, but it couldn't withstand such a barrage of artillery fire!

If those five shells exploded here, his office building would probably be reduced to ashes instantly, and countless people would die.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened!

The stationary shell did not explode, but trembled slightly, and ripples appeared on its surface.

Then, they miraculously "merged" into the bodies of the five people!

There was no impact, no fire, not even a sound.

The moment the shell disappeared, Gabra and the others felt a strange tingling sensation throughout their bodies, as if something invisible had burrowed deep into their flesh.

"Super Special Move—"

Usopp grinned, a hint of smug satisfaction in his smile.

He loosely clenched his right hand, then suddenly tightened his five fingers!

"Alan Killer!"
