Chapter 901 Lu Qi: I won’t waste too much of your time…
After splitting up to fight, all the younger brothers were defeated, and only the boss Rob Lucci was left standing He had a blank expression, and his eyes were seven parts cold and three parts defiant, with a kind of arrogance that looked down on everyone.
This arrogance is exactly the same as his rival Laxus.
However, Laxus's expression was not cold and ruthless, but rather a little confused. "Your companions have all been defeated, and you don't even have any reaction?"
Lucci's answer was extremely cold: "CP9 members have long been prepared to sacrifice their lives for the mission. Those who cannot complete the mission are just useless trash! Even if they die, I won't even frown! "
"...You are really cold-blooded and heartless!"
Laxus's eyes turned cold. He never had a good impression of people who looked down on their companions. "Come on! Let me teach you how to treat your companions!"
"Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."
Lucci put his hands in his pockets, his calm eyes only showed the arrogance of "not knowing what an opponent is".
As the most gifted genius in the history of CP9 and also the strongest among all CP9 now, he has enough confidence to beat the yellow-haired guy on the opposite side within 5 minutes.
"Is this the wizard?"
"We were defeated by these guys? Those three pieces of trash!!"
I don’t know why, but when they heard these words, Kagu and the other two who had already fallen to the ground felt like the end was coming.
Where does this guy get his confidence from?
Laxus secretly complained in his heart, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lucci became strange.
Finally, Lucci moved.
He pounced forward like a cheetah hunting, swift and efficient, without a single unnecessary movement, and his eyes were fixed on Laxus.
"shave!!"
Unlike the others who attacked in a roundabout way, Lucci only flashed once and attacked directly towards Laxus. His right index finger struck out continuously at such a fast speed that it left dozens of afterimages, like a powerful machine gun.
"Finger Gun·Yellow Lotus!!"
However, Lucci's inhuman speed was nothing to Laxus. The moment he moved, Laxus had already predicted his attack route, and turned into lightning to go behind him, then clenched his fist and punched Lucci's back with an ordinary punch!
"Iron!"
Boom! !
“Ah ...
Even though Lucci reacted in time and used the iron block he had honed for years, the punch made his stomach churn and he couldn't help coughing up blood from his throat.
“This guy…”
At this moment, the look in Lucci's eyes when he looked at Laxus had changed. His eyes, which were originally calm and still like a deep pool, were now filled with shock of being severely slapped in the face.
It was just an easy move, but it was faster and more powerful than mine?
It doesn’t matter. I haven’t taken any serious action yet anyway!
"It seems that you are not a small character who can be easily dealt with. No wonder you can be the boss of those people, but..."
Boom! !
Laxus didn't give him a chance to say anything and threw another punch, this time aiming at Lucci's face.
"Moon Steps!!"
Lucci jumped into the air with both feet, followed by a fierce kick: "Razy Legs Kai Bird!!"
Kaibird is a special extension of Storm Kick developed by Lucci. The bird-shaped slashing wave has a larger range and faster speed, and can easily cut through iron plates tens of meters thick.
However, no matter how powerful the attack is, it is useless if it cannot hit the target.
Laxus bent his legs, crouched slightly, then suddenly jumped up to avoid the slash. At the same time, bright golden lightning burst out from his body, and he attacked again with his thick right fist shining with golden light.
Lucci used the Moon Step to jump left and right in the air to dodge, but his movements seemed to be seen through, and he was always one step slower than Laxus. Every time he appeared, he was hit by Laxus's fist in the abdomen, back or head. After several times, he finally realized that air combat was useless and dodging was even more useless.
So he landed back on the ground, ready to fight on his feet.
When Lucci returned to the ground, he was already in a very disheveled state. The black suit that had been unused for a long time but still felt new was now wrinkled and charred all over by Laxus' lightning.
Fortunately, the pigeon on his shoulder had found a place to hide before the two men fought, otherwise he would have been eating roasted pigeon now.
"You haven't fallen yet, you're pretty tough!"
Laxus scoffed, clenching his fists and increasing the power of his lightning.
The crackling golden light wrapped around his body, causing the long-sleeved cape without buttons or zippers on his shoulders to sway continuously, yet it remained tightly attached to his body.
Not taking off his jacket during a fight meant that Laxus wasn't serious yet.
Lucci couldn't stand anyone showing off in front of him, so he immediately released the power of his devil fruit - the Cat-Cat Fruit·Cheetah Form!
There are generally three forms of animal-type Devil Fruit users, namely human, beast, and human/beast. Except for Chopper who can use the Rumble Ball to disrupt the transformation wavelength and thus strengthen himself in certain aspects, there are basically no exceptions.
And because animal-type devil fruits have will, the user who eats an animal-type devil fruit will usually inherit the habits of the corresponding animal, which in turn affects the user's personality. For example, Lucci's brutality and ruthlessness are somewhat similar to the personality traits of a cheetah.
After Lucci entered the human-beast form, he suddenly grew bigger. His height, which was originally over two meters, instantly soared to over three meters. His slender figure, which looked thin in clothes became extremely rugged. The skin on his face and arms turned into yellow skin with black leopard spots, his ears turned into leopard ears and moved to the top of his head, his limbs turned into long and sharp leopard claws, and a long leopard tail grew from his back.
"Animal reception?"
Laxus' eyes flashed with disappointment, and at the same time he snorted an undisguised sneer: "You accepted the power of a cheetah after all this? I thought you were really going to become a superman!"
It's not that Laxus looked down on animal reception, it's just that he couldn't imagine how much stronger the power would become with the addition of one more beast.
Elfman accepted the Beast King, but what was his strength? He couldn't even reach the S-rank of the guild!
The old man of the third Saint Ten can transform into an orc, but what about his strength? He can't last a few moves under Serena!
Hearing Laxus's ridicule, even Lucci, who had been trained to be a ruthless killing machine, could not help but feel angry: "I will soon show you how powerful the cheetah is!"
After saying this, the leopard's claws flashed, plucking the air like plucking the strings of a guitar, and suddenly invisible sharp air blades shot out.
"Flying Finger Gun, Pull Out!!"
Then it shot out again, leaving behind a huge air explosion.
"razor!!"
This move is a fusion of Shaving and Moon Step. It is faster than Shaving and more flexible than Moon Step. It also creates a sharp track when moving. If you accidentally touch it, it is like experiencing a truck crash.
"Finger Gun Madara!!"
Lucci stretched out both hands, leaving dozens of afterimages in the air. With the help of sharp claws, the attack efficiency of the finger gun was maximized. If the 'Huanglian' just now was a machine gun, then the 'Ban' now was a submachine gun!
Lucci, who transformed into a cheetah, was more ferocious in battle than before. His limbs and body coordinated with each other, and the whole thing emphasized a quick advance and attack. In just a few seconds, he formed a complete set of long-range and short-range offensives, as if the battle and killing were deeply imprinted in his muscle memory.
"The animal-type devil fruit can greatly enhance the physical fitness of the user, and the human|beast form is the strongest of the three forms. Coupled with the cheetah's powerful attack power, my current body, both in strength and speed, is fundamentally different from before!"
Lucci launched a ruthless attack towards Laxus without holding back, only to find that the other party just stood there in a daze, as if he was too frightened by his attack to move his legs.
“What’s wrong? Weren’t you so arrogant just now, looking down on my strength? Come on, if you think you can take it, then go ahead and give it a try!! You…”
Before he finished speaking, a flash of golden lightning suddenly appeared on the field. It was Laxus, who was wrapped in the power of lightning. He broke through the air at a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye, crossed several meters of space, and stopped abruptly . Then, a huge fist that was harder than steel smashed down on Lucci's head! !
Slurp—bang!!!
After a sharp and delicate sound of electric current, a huge roar followed. The invisible finger gun, air track, and arm afterimage all disappeared in this roar.
The only thing that could be seen was Lucci’s yellow and black cheetah head, which was pressed to the ground by Laxus, with his eyes rolled back and blood coughing out of his mouth!
The brutal force pressed his head dozens of centimeters underground. The surrounding cement slab road cracked wildly in all directions with the landing point as the center, and even spread to several meters away!
The terrifying force created a strong wind centered on the two people's location, causing sand and rocks to fly on the street, and plowing a circle of clean road on the ground outside the cracks. All the gravel, dust and garbage were swept into one place, saving the street cleaners half a day's work.
"What are you barking about? You're so annoying!"
Laxus slowly stood up and patted his motionless long-sleeved coat to remove a layer of light dust. His serious look seemed to be mocking Lucci on the ground: "Look, I spent more time tidying up my clothes than dealing with you!"
After waiting for a while without hearing a response, Laxus stopped what he was doing and turned to look down at Lucci.
At this time, Lucci's entire head was embedded in the ground, leaving only his body, which had lost its cheetah form, outside, with his butt facing the sky in an indecent posture.
"Sorry, it looks like you can't hear me anymore!"
