One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 247 Who's-Who vs. Rob Lucci
"This guy is strong!"

Kaku and the others looked solemn. The moment Forzfort gripped his knife, they could clearly feel Forzfort's powerful aura.

They knew a little about the senior in front of them; he had once been hailed as a genius in cultivating the Six Styles of Qi, but had defected 10 years ago after a mission failed.

"Lucci."

"You guys can deal with the others."

Besides Forzford, the enemy also included their subordinates, all dressed as cat-people, whose numbers outnumbered their own.

Lucci's gaze was icy.

Although he is now wanted and no longer a member of the World Government, he has never tolerated traitors.

"Haha, what a terrifying look! It sends chills down my spine. Well then, I'll fight more seriously!"

Fozfer grinned, drew a dagger-like blade from its narrow scabbard, and swung it forward, unleashing a flurry of tiny slashes!

"Blade-gun!"

"spread!"

Kaku and the others' expressions changed, and they immediately used Shave to unleash a barrage of dense slashes that swept across the spot where they had just been standing.

"Six techniques I've never seen before!"

They were all experts in the Six Styles, able to sense each other's level of Six Styles proficiency, and this was the first time they had ever seen someone use a dagger to perform the extended skill of Finger Gun.

That's really impressive!

"Owl" Yinwu's arm was bleeding.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

"Otonashi, you got hit?"

"I deliberately let myself be hit!"

Otonashi closed his eyes, sweat beading on his forehead.

"This guy's Dao power."

"3960!"

"what?!"

Kaku and his companions were greatly alarmed.

It was only slightly lower than Lucci's 4000 Doki, a difference so slight that it was negligible in battle.

Everyone looked towards the battlefield.

Forzford remained standing in place, while Lucci landed on the trunk of a large tree, the two facing each other across a dozen meters.

The bladed spear was just a greeting.

"Hahaha, Dao power, huh? It's a number that brings back fond memories. Back when I was in CP9, my Dao power was second to none!"

Upon hearing Yin Wu's words, Fuzfu's smile stretched to his ears, his Dao power nearly doubling compared to back then.

With a power level of nearly 4000, even in the history of CP9, probably no one can match him, which proves that he is the true genius of the Six Powers.

"Hey, Rob Lucci!"

Forsford asked loudly.

"How much Taoist power do you have?"

"."

Lu Qi's expression was indifferent, clearly indicating that he had no intention of answering.

Unable to control his tongue, Otonashi answered the question for Lucci: "Blah blah blah, Lucci's power level is 4000!"

"4000?"

The smile on Forsford's face disappeared.

Are you kidding me? He's even stronger than Rob Lucci, and he's almost 10 years older than Rob Lucci.

"Don't get cocky, Rob Lucci. Dao power is just a level for testing physical skills. Real combat can't be measured by Dao power!"

"All you do is spout nonsense."

Lucci spoke for the first time.

His casual words caused Forsworth to break down on the spot, and he swept his right leg out, sending an arc-shaped slash flying towards Lucci!
"Lanjiao!"

"shave!"

Lu Qi leaped into the air, cleaving the large tree below in half. At the same time, he twisted his body, his right foot creating an even larger vacuum slash downwards.

"Lanjiao·Kaitiao!"

A bird-shaped wave slashes down with a wider range and greater power!

Forzford's expression changed, and he also used Shave to quickly move into the air.

"boom!!!"

The ground exploded with a deafening roar, leaving a massive crack tens of meters long!

"What a powerful force!"

Looking at the cracked earth below, Forsworth's expression grew increasingly grave, but an unprecedented fighting spirit also rose within him. "Hahaha, Rob Lucci, now it's worth defeating you!"

"Moonstep!"

Forzford stomped on the air, puffs of smoke bursting from his feet, and moved rapidly through the air towards Lucci, his right hand aimed at Lucci's head.

"Point gun!"

"Shh!"

The spear missed its mark!

Lucci tilted his head slightly to avoid the incoming finger gun, and extended his right index finger to quickly counterattack Fozfer.

"Paper painting!"

Dodge, counterattack!
The two exchanged blows, using the Six Styles and basic physical techniques to launch fierce attacks and dodge each other, their speed increasing rapidly.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The afterimages of battle were everywhere!
The air kept exploding with shockwaves, rocks suddenly shattered, trees were cut down, and the aftershocks of the battle destroyed everything around them!
A lightning-fast offensive and defensive battle!
"Can't see clearly!"

Kaku and his companions were sweating nervously, their eyes constantly following the two figures, but they couldn't make out anything clearly.

too fast!
"Clap!"

After an unknown amount of time, the two came into view, their breathing becoming somewhat rapid as they raised their hands again.

"Point gun!"

The same move explodes!
"spot!"

Countless afterimages of finger guns appeared between the two!

"puff!"

Blood kept splattering!

For nearly ten seconds, the two retreated simultaneously, creating distance between them, their fingers dripping each other's blood.

Evenly matched!

However, Roblic's injuries had not fully healed, while Forsford was well-rested and ready to fight. This battle was inherently unfair, but clearly, one of the men lacked awareness of this.

"Hahaha, that really hurts! As expected of CP9's strongest killing weapon in eight hundred years, it seems I'll have to use my full strength!"

Forzford licked the blood from his fingertips, his body swelled, his fangs lengthened, his hands tore through his gloves and turned into tiger claws, and his tail extended from behind his rear.

Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Saber-toothed Tiger Form!
Lucci frowned slightly and transformed as well.

Cat-Cat Fruit - Leopard Form!
"It's the same type of ability as mine!"

Who's-Who ascended into the air using Moonwalk, his mockery undisguised: "Unfortunately, you're just an ordinary Zoan-type, while I'm an Ancient Zoan. There's a fundamental difference between our abilities!"

"Redeem yourself right, Rob Lucci!"

"The next six moves are unique to me. Their power far surpasses that of ordinary six moves and can easily tear your body apart!"

Forzford opened his mouth wide, then suddenly closed it!

"Tooth Gun!"

The fang-shaped air bombs whistled down!

Lucci sensed the danger and dodged the incoming tooth gun by sidestepping!
"Crack!"

A slight sound came from behind.

Lucci looked behind him, his gaze slightly narrowed.

A hole appeared in the rock, as if it had been bitten off, and a crater of unknown depth appeared in the ground behind it.

"You avoided it? Your judgment was very accurate."

Forzford continued his taunts.

"Even if you use iron blocks, you absolutely cannot stop my tooth gun. If you try to take it head-on, your body will definitely be bitten through!"

"But that's only natural!"

"Haha, I heard about it!"

"You were defeated by the rookie Straw Hat Luffy, utterly disgracing CP9. The title of CP9's number one genius is nothing more than this!"

"."

Lucci's expression changed, and his eyes turned completely cold. This was the first time his emotions had changed noticeably in this battle.

"Tooth Gun!"

The tooth gun came hurtling in again!

This time, Lucci did not dodge. He raised his right arm and smashed the tooth gun open, a trickle of blood flowing down his arm.

"what!"

Forzford's heart skipped a beat. Even if he was slow to react, he could tell something was wrong when he saw Lucci radiating an astonishing killing intent.

"Whizzing!"

His body trembled, and his hair stood on end!

This guy seems angry!
