When she waved her hand, her arm twisted like a boneless dancing rope. A powerful force, locked between the muscle and the bone, reached up to her index finger and, with the strength of her swinging arm, hit Rob Lucci in the heart.
This move is as powerful as the powerful flintlock guns developed by Marine. If this move hit any normal person then it would have blown their hearts out of their chest!
But since Rob Lucci dared to let Kalifa attack him, he naturally had has the confidence to protect himself. He kept his hands in his pockets. Before the Shigan (Finger Gun) came to his body, his muscles suddenly tightened.
Tekkai (Iron Body)!
Boom!!
The Shigan (Finger Gun) collided with his chest, and his flesh and blood body made a steel-like sound. Rob Lucci’s cloak and casual suit on his chest were hit by a high-speed Shigan (Finger Gun), but this attack didn’t even leave a red spot on his muscle.
He is highly accomplished in Marine Rokushiki, especially in Tekkai (Iron Body), and Shigan (Finger Gun)!
There is no stronger explanation than showing these two tricks. This is a secret that Marines do not pass on to anyone and there are only a few people in Sea who can imitate these moves.
Except for a certain Rubber Monkey…
Snap!
“Wonderful Tekkai (Iron Body)!”
Rowen bit his cigar and clapped his hands, motioning the soldiers to put away their weapons. Rob Lucci deserves his reputation as the “Strongest Man in 800 years within the CP Organization”, and with the defense provided by this Tekkai (Iron Body), he can move unhindered in the First Half of Grand Line.
Hoo …… Since they are agents of the World Government then what they do has nothing to do with us Marines. Dante let’s go back!”
After exhaling out a smoke ring, Rowen didn’t talk nonsense, and turned around and left.
Rob Lucci was simply surprised by Rowen’s uncaring attitude and warned: “Don’t mention our existence to anyone, Rear Admiral Rowen, otherwise, you will you will face the consequences at your own risk!”
“Don’t worry, I’m a man who hates trouble ……”
Rowen waved his hand and led the group away.
When they disappeared at the end of the street, Kalifa asked with some incredulity, “That’s it? He just left like that?”
“What else can he do?”
Kaku, who had been playing with the wooden figure next to him, pulled down his hood and shrugged: “We are CP9, Kalifa. It would do him no good to oppose us. Naturally, he will walk away!”
“Is that so?”
Kalifa muttered carelessly, feeling a little unreal in her heart.
The new Rear Admiral at the Marine Headquarters is no simple man, as evidenced by the part where Rowen knocked Iceberg off his feet. And his Lieutenant Commander, Quinn Dante, is also quite unusual.
“Well, go back Kalifa, don’t make Iceberg suspicious.”
Rob Lucci prevented the two from continuing to talk, and then looked in the direction where Rowen disappeared and said lightly: “He’s a smart man, and smart men know what they have to do.”
After all, he took the lead in pulling down his hood, stepping on Geppō (Moonwalk), and quickly disappearing into the night.
Kaku and Kalifa glanced at each other, and also pulled down their hoods and disappeared in place.
But they didn’t notice that Rob Lucci’s hand, which had been in his pocket from the beginning, was oozing cold sweat.
“If that attack had hit me, could I have resisted?”
Recalling the lightning attack just now, Rob Lucci secretly thought about the simulated battle and finally came to the conclusion that if both sides went to war, he would die!
In the eyes of outsiders, it was Rowen who chose to back down because of power priorities, and it was CP9 who won. But in Lucci’s mind, he was being spared his life, and it was Rowen who didn’t care to take a shot at him!
Weakness is a sin, and Lucci, who has implemented it as a life-long creed, suddenly and sadly finds himself part of the original sin.
“Marine Headquarters…Rear Admiral Rowen…”
…
“You didn’t hear anything tonight, you didn’t see anything, Understand?!”
“Understood!”
“Very well, disband now!”
Dante finished warning the soldiers and then he walked over to Rowen and asked, “Rear Admiral Rowen, do you think there is something going on in Water Seven that is worthy of CP9’s presence?”
As a true secret organization, even though it is close at hand, the existence of CP9 is still unknown to most marines.
Such a mysterious organization suddenly appeared in Water Seven and lurked beside the mayor Iceberg. What is it that makes them appear here and they even worked in secret?
‘Naturally, it is for the Ancient Weapon Pluton!’
Rowen rolled his eyes.
Dante is a good person and he manages things well. With him here, Rowen can basically lie down and live his life without having to deal with trivial matters.
But there is the only problem that is very troublesome for him, he doesn’t know when to speak secretly and when to let things go.
Even a blind person could see that this matter is important. CP9 is warning the Marines to not intervene in their matters.
This is also the reason why Rowen chose to simply walk away. He doesn’t want the CP Organization to take care of him after he finishes his work. But Dante knew this and couldn’t restrain his curiosity, and wanted to ask what happened.
For this reason, Rowen thinks that a saying back in his world fits Dante well, ‘Curiosity killed the cat’ and in this situation, Dante being the cat would also take Rowen with him!
Life is precious and death is endless!
Don’t ask about that bunch of c*nts, I’m going to practice, are you coming?”
“Uh, no more…Farewell!!”
Dante shuddered, not daring to ask more and he disappeared from his place.
Due to the Awakening of the Initial Form of Armament Haki, in order to catch up with Rowen, Dante has been focusing on the development of the Armament Haki during this period.
But it is a unique development focusing on one single weapon and the progress behind closed doors is extremely slow. So he once took the initiative to challenge Rowen, wanting to make progress through battle.
Then he sadly found that he was really out of his league!
As long as Rowen uses the speed advantage of being a Thunder-Lighting Human, Dante is nothing more than a sandbag that can move in front of Rowen!
And Rowen never shows mercy, he only used a few moves to knock him out and throw him into the sea, after a few times, Dante no longer dared to find Rowen for sparring.
Rowen sneered at this, “Why are you striving to improve your Armament Haki? Why are even afraid to get a little beaten up? Don’t you know, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
