Chapter 218 Battle against Lucci (Part 1 & 2 combined)

Bang! ! !

The sudden impact was so loud that it startled everyone in the room.

Spandam, who was muttering to himself, was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud. His heart skipped a beat, and he looked toward the door in terror.

Jabra, who was in charge of guarding Robin, suddenly changed his expression and quickly pulled Robin up from the ground, holding her tightly to his side.

Even Lu Qi, who had been feigning sleep with his eyes closed, as immovable as a mountain, suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp and cold gaze shooting straight towards the door like a sword.

There, he sensed an unusual aura, a feeling he hadn't experienced since becoming a CP9 agent.

At the main gate, Wukong stood amidst the rising dust, giving off a hazy feeling.

As his voice echoed in the room, Robin, whose pupils had been unfocused and hadn't succumbed to the loud noise, abruptly looked up. His eyes, brimming with a complex mix of emotions—excitement, helplessness, pain, and joy—met the familiar figure. His lips moved, but he could only manage to ask, "Why? I clearly told you not to come. I clearly said I didn't want to see you again. Why did you still come? Why?"

"Cough cough! Cough cough!"

Wukong, who was coughing incessantly from being choked by the rising dust, quickly looked over upon hearing the sound and instantly spotted the figure he wanted to see.

He suddenly rushed forward a few steps, his eyes shining, a bright smile spreading across his face, and waved to Robin: "Hey! Robin! I'm here to save you!"

Seeing his incredibly warm and sunny smile, Robin felt a warmth in his heart, but his face turned extremely ugly, and he roared, "I told you! I don't need you to save me! Why did you come?!"

Seemingly surprised by her response, Wukong paused for a moment.

Immediately, his smile faded, and he said seriously, "Because you are my friend and my partner, I will never allow anyone to hurt you!"

Besides, didn't we agree that I would protect you and not let those people hurt you?

Swish swish! !

Just as he finished speaking, Nami, Sanji, and Pupu, having defeated the enemy, rushed into the room from outside, exclaiming in unison, "That's right! What Goku said is exactly what we wanted to say! Robin, we absolutely will not allow anyone to hurt you! Not even the World Government! Come back with us now!!" (Wow!!)

boom!!!

These firm and heartfelt words from her companions struck Robin like lightning, piercing through the deepest defenses of her heart. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, which streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string.

She really didn't expect that Wukong and the others would go to such lengths for her.

It should be noted that as long as Goku and his friends do nothing, they can still pursue their dreams at sea without being hunted down by the World Government.

As long as they give her up, they will remain innocent and will not have to experience the pain of being wanted for life.

But they still came, without hesitation, with unwavering resolve, willing to defy the World Government to rescue her.

Saul, is this the person you said would protect my partner at all costs?

I think I've actually found them, and there's more than one.

Robin was in tears, Saul's smiling face seemed to appear before her eyes, and she couldn't say a word.

Upon seeing this, Wukong became enraged.

"Hey!! Did you guys do something to hurt Robin?!"

He glared angrily, pointing at Spandam, Gabra, and Lucci, and shouted.

Spandam and his two companions were furious.

We didn't do anything! You guys are the ones who made her cry!

The above is purely speculative; the actual situation is:

Lu Qi's eyes remained cold and unmoved.

Gabra licked his lips, a sinister smile playing on his lips, his eyes resembling those of a ravenous wolf ready to pounce.

Spandam got up from the ground, clapped his hands, and sneered, "What a touching scene, but unfortunately it's really laughable. For hundreds of years, those who dared to oppose CP9 or the World Government have never had a good ending."

I don't know whether to admire you or call you foolish. To openly confront us and the world's most powerful organization for the sake of a heinous criminal—you're really courting death.

Spandam shook his head as he spoke, as if lamenting the suicidal behavior of Goku and his friends.

But then he changed his tone: "However, if you choose to surrender now, there's still some room for negotiation. As the commander of CP9, I can still spare your lives. How about that? Doesn't that sound good?"

He looked at Wukong and the others with genuine sincerity, as if he were truly thinking of their best interests.

But in reality, he only made this statement to buy time.

The arrival of the Navy will take some time, and he should delay as much as possible during this period. After all, although Lucci and Jabra are quite strong, they cannot guarantee that they can protect him.

He cherished his life immensely, so naturally he would do everything he could to increase his chances of survival.

Hmph! Once reinforcements arrive, all of you will die!

He smiled outwardly, but inwardly he thought viciously.

However, his wishful thinking ultimately failed.

You see, Robin had been with them the whole time, listening to everything they said. So when she heard his words, the clever Robin immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Don't listen to him! He's stalling for time! The navy fleet will arrive in fifteen minutes at most!!" Robin, who had calmed down a bit, shouted at the top of her lungs.

Spandam's face immediately darkened. He turned his head and looked at her coldly: "Nicole Robin, don't forget who's in your hands now."

His threat was clear: since you're in my hands, you'd better behave yourself, or even if I can't take your life right now, I can still make you pay!

But Robin ignored him and continued urgently to Goku and the others, "Five minutes! You only have five minutes to defeat them! The longer we drag this out, the less likely we are to escape!"

The fact that the navy will arrive in fifteen minutes does not mean they have fifteen minutes to spare, because they need to sail away from here in advance and not give the enemy a chance to catch up.

In that case, Wukong and his friends only have a maximum of five minutes left.

Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes lit up instantly: "Robin, you're willing to come with us, right!"

They wanted to rescue Robin, but besides having the ability to do so, they also needed Robin to change her mind about dying for them.

But now, Robin seems to have changed her mind.

Sure enough, when she asked the question, Robin answered loudly without hesitation, her voice even becoming a little hoarse with excitement: "I do! I want to continue sailing with you, I want to continue adventuring with you, I want to always be your partner. So—"

Please rescue me from them!

boom!!!

Her words ignited a fire within Goku, Nami, Sanji, and the beast. Their eyes lit up as if they had heard the happiest thing in their lives, and their faces beamed with joy.

"No problem! We'll definitely bring you back!!" (Wow!)

The three people and the beast spoke in unison, and Goku even moved to rush towards Robin.

But at that moment, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

"So you're the one who defeated Bruno and his men?"

Wukong slammed on the brakes and looked up to see a cold-looking man with an aura of icy intimidation looking down at him—it was Lucci.

"Who is Bruno? I don't know him!" Wukong replied, frowning.

"Get out of the way! I'm going to save Robin!" He looked directly into Lucci's cold eyes, which seemed to freeze everything, and said very seriously.

Lucci didn't move aside, but continued to say to himself, "You've got some skill to beat Bruno and the others. I hope you can give me some fun."

After saying that, he took off his top black hat and tossed it onto the sofa.

Then, he unbuttoned his sleeves, rolled them up a few times to reveal his muscular arms, and looked like an elegant gentleman throughout the process.

Wukong couldn't understand his actions, but he understood what he said.

"You want to fight me, right? No problem, but I don't have much time. I'll finish this quickly!"

Seeing Goku's confident expression, Lucci's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

"A quick victory? Sounds good."

shhhhhh! ! !

No sooner said than done! The instant he finished speaking, he lowered his body and his hands, like machine guns, transformed into a flurry of afterimages, thrusting countless finger guns at Wukong!

This attack was swift, ruthless, and precise. If anyone else were here, they would have been riddled with holes, with not a single part of their body unscathed.

But who is Goku? Not to mention that he has undergone a period of rigorous training and experienced the life-and-death battle on Skypiea, and his strength has improved considerably, even if he were still the same Goku, he could have easily handled Lucci's attack.

He dodged left and right under Lucci's barrage of attacks, but no matter how fast Lucci's attacks were, they never managed to touch even a single corner of his clothes.

Lu Qi's pupils contracted slightly, but he did not panic. Instead, his body became excited.

It would be too boring if Wukong were defeated so easily.

Swish! !

Suddenly, he stopped, stood up straight, and looked down at Wukong with slightly excited, cold eyes.

"You deserve it—Pfft!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wukong, seeing that he had exposed a weakness, suddenly kicked him hard in the stomach.

In an instant, Lucci's eyes bulged out, blood mist spurted out, and he was thrown backward like a cannonball, smashing a human-shaped mark into the steel wall with a loud bang!

Wukong landed on the ground, scratching his head innocently, and said, "Sorry, you had too many weaknesses, so I couldn't help but attack."

Lu Qi, who was embedded in the wall, coughed up another mouthful of blood upon hearing this, his expression filled with disbelief.

Impossible! How could that brat be so fast that he couldn't even catch him?!

The reason he stood confidently in front of Wukong, less than a meter away, was because he was confident that he had the strength to deal with any of Wukong's attacks.

In addition, he also really likes this way of pressuring his opponents at close range, which makes him feel that he is always in control of the situation, that he is the hunter who controls everything, and that his opponents are just prey to be played with.

Unexpectedly, confidence turned into arrogance, the hunter became a clown, and everything he knew was completely destroyed by Goku's simple kick!

"Cough cough! Ptooey!"

After spitting out the blood in his mouth, Lucci pulled his body out of the wall.

Because he was much stronger than Bruno and the others, he wasn't directly knocked out by Goku's kick.

He clutched his stomach, enduring the excruciating pain, and stared intently at Wukong, his eyes no longer calm as before.

"Sun Wukong, I underestimated you."

He said through gritted teeth.

Immediately with a thought, his entire body shape and appearance changed rapidly.

He went from being just over two meters tall to over three meters in an instant, his lean and well-proportioned physique becoming incredibly robust, stretching his tailored suit to several sizes, which would have burst if it weren't for its excellent quality.

Not only that, his skin also changed rapidly, no longer human skin, but became like a leopard's, full of wildness.

Its long tail swept back and forth behind it, and the sharp claws on its fingers and toes gleamed coldly.

Without a doubt, this is the Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Mode, humanoid form!

"Wow! You can actually transform like this." Goku was stunned when he saw a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user transform for the first time. He looked them up and down, his curiosity undisguised.

"Sun Wukong, you will not have any more chances from now on."

Lucci flashed to a spot not far from him, his injuries largely healed by the powerful regenerative abilities he gained after his transformation.

This is precisely what makes Zoan-type Devil Fruit users so powerful: in their transformed forms, they possess extremely strong vitality and regenerative abilities. Unless they suffer particularly severe damage, they can keep doing sit-ups like cockroaches, wearing down their opponents until they die.

Wukong was unaware of this yet; he only felt that his opponent's aura had become much stronger than before, and he immediately felt a surge of fighting spirit, unable to resist wanting to have a proper match with his opponent.

Just then, Robin suddenly reminded him, "Everyone! Time is running out. We need to defeat them quickly, or it will be too late!"

Upon hearing the reminder, Goku paused for a moment, then remembered that he hadn't rescued Robin yet. Now wasn't the right time to slowly test his strength against his opponent. So, he suppressed his excitement and solemnly said, "I understand, Robin!"

I'll get you out of here right away!

Lu Qi clenched his fist, feeling the abundant and powerful energy within him, and his once arrogant confidence was restored to its original state.

His half-beast face added a lot of ferocity to his cold expression, making him look even more vicious and chilling than before.

He looked down at Wukong and said coldly, "Are you ready to be killed by me, Sun Wukong?"

Wukong didn't answer, but simply raised his head and stared at him without flinching, his eyes clearly saying: If you want to fight, then come on!

Meanwhile, a heated argument was also taking place on the other side of the room.
