Although everyone had heard of Chiyu's terrifying reputation, CP‑9 was no pushover—especially its man hailed as the strongest agent in the organization's 800‑year history…
Lucci practices a "Dark Justice" so absolute that he shows no mercy not only to pirates and criminals, but even to innocent civilians or fellow Marines if they get in his way.
And at this moment he commands the whole elite force of CP‑9.
Rob Lucci said coldly, "Then let me settle this with you—one on one.
Chiyu replied blandly, "You alone aren't enough. Why not have all of CP‑9 come at me together?"
Lucci flew into a rage.
"Don't underestimate me!
In the blink of an eye he fused Soru and Geppo, unleashing his own personal combination of the Six Powers.
His body vanished from its spot, and an arcing slash of compressed air suddenly flashed through the sky—
—slicing straight toward Chiyu.
Chiyu gave a cold laugh. Without even using his Devil‑Fruit power he answered with the same move, hurling himself forward with Razor.
Their forces collided in mid‑air, the clash tearing the shipyard floor into jagged shards.
Kaku and the others paled.
"His mastery of the Six Powers is… even above Lucci's? Impossible!"
To CP‑9, Rob Lucci is an absolute symbol—feared and respected by all. In Rokushiki skill he stands at the very pinnacle of the Marines, not only mastering every technique but combining them into unique moves of his own. Until now only Lucci wielded the Six Powers with flawless perfection.
Yet Chiyu was suppressing him with identical techniques!
Lucci himself was startled. "So—you've mastered Rokushiki too…"
In an instant their silhouettes crossed dozens of times faster than the naked eye could follow. Blades of vacuum slashes wove madly through the night, sparkling like fireworks.
Seeing the tide turn, Spandam tried to slip away—but Chiyu had no intention of letting him escape. In the middle of his duel with Lucci he flicked a hand; a bolt of lightning smashed the ground in front of Spandam, pulverizing the path. The man shrieked, collapsed, and dared not move.
Lucci glanced back and shuddered. He cared nothing for Spandam's life, but the fact that Chiyu could strike at the fool while still trading blows with him showed just how effortlessly his opponent was fighting.
Lucci activated his Zoan Devil‑Fruit—the Cat‑Cat Fruit, Model: Leopard—shifting into a hybrid form that combined human agility with a leopard's raw power.
Transformed, Lucci's speed multiplied. His strength surged as countless high‑velocity finger‑gun jabs blasted toward Chiyu like a hailstorm.
Yet Chiyu still did not need his Goro‑Goro Fruit. Relying solely on Rokushiki, he met the barrage head‑on—and even held the upper hand.
In pure Six Powers technique, Chiyu was slightly behind Lucci; after all, these were Lucci's lifelong specialty.
But in perception Lucci could not compare. With Sharingan eyes and Kenbunshoku Haki together, no one in this world could match Chiyu's insight. Lucci's rapid‑fire Shigan looked to him like slow‑motion, riddled with openings. He answered with Shigan of his own, shielding himself and pressing Lucci back.
Lucci's face changed.
"What's happening? It's as if he sees through every move… What power lies in those eyes?!"
"Rankyaku— The source of this content ɪs novel~fire~net
Lucci switched styles, unleashing his personal variant of the Tempest Kick; a spiral blade of air shot at Chiyu. It resembled Naruto's wind‑style Rasen Shuriken.
Still unruffled, Chiyu cut it in half with a Rankyaku of his own—and his returning slash drove straight for Lucci. The agent used Kami‑e at the last instant, his body fluttering aside like paper to evade the blow.
Even so, everyone could see Lucci was on the defensive, like a mouse toyed with by a cat.
"Uchiha Chiyu, what are you after—trying to humiliate me?!"
In truth Chiyu was studying Lucci's use of the Six Powers; no one else was a better reference. He said coolly:
"The greatest in CP‑9's 800 years… turns out to be only so‑so. Disappointing."
At that moment Chiyu unleashed the very technique Lucci had just used.
"Shigan—Yellow Lotus!"
Everyone in CP‑9 went wide‑eyed. Yellow Lotus was Lucci's exclusive secret art—no other member could perform it. Yet Chiyu had copied it after only a few exchanges. Of course: that was the power of the Sharingan.
Lucci, stunned, dodged with Kami‑e again, but fear and doubt gnawed at him.
"Did he really learn my unique technique on the spot…? Impossible—"
Chiyu immediately followed with Rankyaku—Leopard Tail, shattering Lucci's last illusion.
Lucci's mind reeled; his calm judgment was slipping.
At that critical moment—
"Rankyaku—White Thunder!"
Kaku intervened, blasting Chiyu's slash aside and saving the momentarily‑slow Lucci.
"Hey, Lucci—this isn't the time to space out! That guy's a monster. And the Buster Call is about to start. No more hesitation—everyone, all at once!"
Kalifa, Jabra, Blueno, Fukurou and the others nodded.
Lucci clenched his teeth. "Fine—together!"
In an instant the whole of CP‑9 vanished with Soru, scattering and then converging from every direction in a ferocious assault on Chiyu:
"Tekkai—Wolf Bullet!"
The combined onslaught was beyond description—enough to smash through an army in seconds. Any enemy should have retreated before such force.
Chiyu did not retreat. Instead, the corner of his mouth lifted. For the first time he merged Rokushiki with the power of the Goro‑Goro no Mi, unleashing the technique he had been perfecting these past days:
"Rankyaku—Thunder Dragon!"
His body twisted; his right leg lashed out. The Tempest Kick fused with roaring lightning, becoming a blade‑like thunder dragon that carved a blazing arc across the sky. It exploded through every CP‑9 member, blasting them away and leaving them badly wounded.
Though they defended with everything they had, they were torn apart, blood spraying, muscles numbed by coursing electricity.
Chiyu seized the moment.
"Razor—Thunder Bird!"
Another fusion move: Soru plus lightning. A thunderbird curved through the night like a crescent moon and cleaved Fukurou in two.
Split from head to toe, Fukurou somehow remained conscious long enough to zip his mouth‑zipper open one last time and sigh, "Such… power…"
Then his body fell lifeless.
Seeing this, Lucci roared. He shifted fully into leopard form, power soaring yet again. Now he prepared his ultimate art—the pinnacle that can only be used after mastering every aspect of the Six Powers:
"Rokushiki Secret Art…
