Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Full awakening?

According to Nika, no.

However, Luffy has already mastered the method to enter this state.

That atmosphere of liberation and freedom, yet also filled with a sense of oppression, made everyone who felt it tremble involuntarily.

At the same time, a burst of red and black lightning struck Lucci directly.

Lucci's smile gradually turned sinister. "I knew you weren't using your full strength. In that case, you can have some fun."

Lu Qi took out a handful of pills from his pocket and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

Now that he has taken the potent drug and his strength has increased dramatically, he craves a thrilling battle to prove himself and wash away his defeats.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.

The moment the words fell, Lucci moved, his entire body like a black lightning bolt, displaying a speed far exceeding his previous speed, appearing in front of Luffy in an instant, and sweeping a kick fiercely towards Luffy.

"Storm Kick!"

With a leg strength many times greater than that of an ordinary person, it unleashed a massive slash.

However, Luffy dodged and then charged forward.

In Lucci's pupils, the person before him looked like a white demon, with blood-red pupils.

In a split second, Luffy punched Lucci, sending him flying.

At the same time, the battle between CP9 and the Straw Hat crew broke out instantly.

The ground turned into rubber, and the navy personnel who approached were instantly knocked unconscious by the black and red lightning.

"Hey, you pigeon guy, this is no different from before, you can't really enjoy yourself."

Chapter 203 Gear Fifth vs. Deadly Drug Lucci

Lu Qi emerged from the ruins, his jet-black hair turned white, and his pupils turned red—changes resulting from consuming those deadly drugs.

But as expected of a banned drug, he could feel a continuous surge of power emanating from it.

"You're still so arrogant, it's really annoying!"

Lucci's body expanded rapidly, instantly transforming into a gigantic form much taller than Luffy, with bulging muscles all over his body, his skin covered in leopard spots, and his fingers turning into leopard claws.

Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Mode!

Compared to the countless other Devil Fruits, the Leopard form of the Devil Fruit is one of the most powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruits, second only to Mythical Zoan and Ancient Zoan.

Moreover, Lucci has now taken a potent drug, making him several times stronger.

Lucci entered his Zoan Devil Fruit form, but his state seemed somewhat different. His originally jet-black hair turned an ominous pale white, and a blood-red light shone deep within his pupils. The aura emanating from him was even more dangerous and violent than it had been on the train.

This made Luffy feel like he was seeing himself.

Are you imitating me by becoming like this?

"I will stop at nothing for the mission." Lucci was brimming with ferocity.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

"Storm Kick - Kabuto!"

A blue vacuum slash, even larger and more solid than before, like a real giant bird, carrying an aura of annihilation, descended upon Luffy!

"You've become stronger. Is it because of those medicines?"

Luffy grinned. Facing the slash that was powerful enough to split mountains, he didn't retreat but advanced. His rubber arms, covered in Armament Haki, stretched and grew strangely, and then he actually caught the huge slash with his bare hands!

"I'm giving it back to you!"

Luffy suddenly exerted force with his arm, throwing the solid slash back the way it came, just like throwing a javelin!

Boom!!!

The pale leopard reacted extremely quickly, using Shave to dodge, and the spot where it had been standing was blasted into a deep crater by its own slash.

Using the surrounding ruins as cover, Lucci moved at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect, searching for Luffy's weakness.

Luffy closed his eyes instead, unleashing his powerful Observation Haki. Lucci's frenzied aura, fueled by the drugs, was perceived by Luffy as a beacon in the darkness, crystal clear.

Just as Lucci launched another attack from a tricky angle, Luffy's eyes snapped open: "Gum-Gum Mole Gun!"

The fist, like a cannonball, launched from the ground at an incredible angle and speed, and struck Lucci's chest with pinpoint accuracy!

Lu Qi's pupils contracted, and he hastily crossed his arms in front of his chest to block, while simultaneously activating the Six Styles.

"Iron block!"

boom! ! !

A dull thud echoed as Lucci felt an indescribable force surge through his body. His arms throbbed with pain, and he felt as if he had been struck by a high-speed train on the sea. He coughed up blood and was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

"It's not over yet!"

Luffy pressed his advantage, slamming his feet into the ground. The elasticity of the rubber gave him terrifying explosive power, propelling him forward like a rocket, his head covered in jet-black Armament Haki.

"Rubber Rubber Rocket Headbutt!"

Boom! !

With another loud bang, Luffy's forehead slammed into Lucci's abdomen, who was still on the ground.

"Pfft!"

Lucci suffered another severe blow, spitting out blood as his body crashed into a distant clock tower like a kite with a broken string, causing half of the tower to collapse.

The shockwave generated by the collision of the two terrifying forces spread outwards as if it were a tangible force, causing the entire front island plaza to tremble. The naval soldiers not far away and the World Government personnel who were fighting the Franky family were all terrified by the commotion and turned pale, quickly moving away from the battlefield.

"Was there an earthquake?!"

"It's Lord Lucci fighting that Straw Hat Monster!"

"That's terrifying! The aftershocks alone are this horrific."

Amidst the smoke-filled ruins of the clock tower, Lucci struggled to crawl out.

The drug not only enhanced his strength and speed, but also greatly increased his stamina and tolerance for pain.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Luffy who was suspended in mid-air like a white demon, and his eyes burned with an even more intense fighting spirit.

"What a monster."

He chuckled softly, and with a thought, his previously bulging muscles slightly contracted, making the lines even smoother.

He used Life Return, sacrificing some of his power in exchange for ultimate speed. Without hesitation, Lucci once again transformed into a blur and charged towards Luffy.

Meanwhile, fierce battles had already broken out on other battlefields.

While Luffy and Lucci were facing off, Kaku and Jabra exchanged another argument before charging at their respective opponents.

On the other side, Sanji and Zoro also had a fight. The two stubborn guys from both sides confronted each other.

Kaku drew his twin swords, which he hadn't used until now. He couldn't afford to be careless with Zoro any longer. Besides, having just acquired a Devil Fruit ability, he wanted to test it out.

"Pirate hunter, let this old man be your opponent!"

Kaku's long nose turned into a giraffe's neck, making him look somewhat comical, but his speed and power in wielding his twin swords were not to be underestimated.

"A swordsman? Just what I'm looking for!"

Zoro unleashed three sword strikes simultaneously, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He loves fighting swordsmen the most.

Sanji's opponent enters his werewolf form.

"Hahaha, apart from Straw Hat Boy, you guys are nothing to be afraid of!" Jabra laughed savagely.

"Then let's see, I'll kick your teeth to pieces, you wild wolf!"

Sanji's figure flashed, his black leather shoes whistling through the air.

Robin faced off against Kalifa, who could transform into a bubble, while Nami, Usopp, and Chopper teamed up to deal with Bruno, the owl, and Kuchiri.

The entire front island of Judiciary Island was completely transformed into a fierce battlefield.

On the other side of the battlefield.

"Straw Hat Boy!"

Lu Qi coughed up a mouthful of blood, forcibly steadying himself. "Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"

"Oh, your physical condition is already close to its limit, do you still have the energy to talk tough?"

Luffy chuckled softly, "I don't want to waste my energy on you."

The two stared at each other.

Lucci could see that Luffy didn't see him.

What an insult this is to him, the strongest member of CP9 in eight hundred years, and to this so-called genius!

According to Lucci, we're already a level apart, and if we want to catch up, we'll need to train for another two years.

This is a fact.

Lucci could feel the power of the drug burning wildly within his body, but he also clearly sensed that his body's limits were approaching.

The two severe blows brought not only pain, but also a devastating blow to one's will.

The oppressive aura emanating from the white figure opposite him was like a tangible mountain, weighing heavily on his heart.
