Chapter 108 Luffy Instantly Creates Pain and Massacres CP9Kaku, with his long nose, seized the opportunity and used "Shave," instantly teleporting above Luffy's head.
"Storm Kick: Dragon Slash!"
His feet transformed into sharp blades, slashing fiercely towards Luffy's skull with the force to cut through steel.
"So, this is what they mean by 'a summer insect cannot understand ice.'"
Luffy didn't even raise his head, his gaze still gently fixed on Robin's face in his arms.
"When will you frogs in a well understand the difference between us?"
An invisible repulsive force field erupted instantly.
Shinra Tensei!
"Boom—!"
Kaku's Storm Kick struck an invisible barrier, his entire body seemingly crashing into an impenetrable wall, eerily suspended in mid-air.
Kaku's expression changed drastically. He tried to use the force to jump away, but found his body wouldn't obey him.
Luffy slowly raised his hand, a terrifying suction force erupting from his palm.
Bansho Tenpuku!
Kaku, like iron filings drawn to a magnet, was uncontrollably propelled towards Luffy.
Simultaneously, several black chakra rods shot out from Luffy's sleeves.
"No!"
Kaku roared in terror, his muscles tensing: "Iron Body!"
Luffy watched this, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Iron Body? This move is truly dangerous."
The next second, the black rods pierced through Kaku's prized defense without resistance.
"Pfft pfft pfft—"
Kaku was instantly riddled with holes, blood spurting everywhere.
Six Paths of Pain: Hell Path, complete!
"Kaku!!"
Lucci's eyes widened in fury as he roared.
However, Kaku could no longer hear his call.
He, equally expressionless, rose to his feet, executing a standard "Shave" move, combined with a "Kakei" technique, and charged towards Lucci from both sides.
"What's wrong with you two?! Did that guy cast a spell on you?!"
Lucci roared, desperately parrying his attacks.
But he quickly realized that the two men's attacks were all deadly, showing no mercy whatsoever.
"Since that's the case..."
Lucci's eyes turned cold. He no longer held back, displaying overwhelming power, and delivered a powerful whip kick that sent Weiqi flying.
"Don't forget, I'm CP9's strongest weapon!"
Looking at Weiqi lying motionless on the ground, his neck twisted, Lucci sneered.
But the next second, his smile froze on his face.
Kaku formed hand seals, and a hideous Yama head materialized behind him.
The enormous gates of hell opened, swallowing Weiqi, whose neck had been broken.
Just two seconds later.
The sinister gates opened again, and an unharmed Weiqi strode out, even the wrinkles in his clothes perfectly smoothed out.
"What?! How is this possible?!"
Lucci's eyes widened, his worldview utterly shattered.
Luffy slowly rose from the sofa, Kaku and Kuchiki flanking him like loyal guards.
"Just as I expected."
Luffy whistled lightly, "You guys, specializing in physical techniques, are practically the best raw materials for creating the Six Paths of Pain."
The original Six Paths of Pain were limited by the abilities of their corpses in life, but this group of CP9 was different.
Their bodies had been forged through countless trials, and even as puppets, they retained terrifying physical strength.
As long as Luffy knew the Six Powers, these puppets could unleash their original, or even greater, combat power.
"The only experimental material we need is you, the strongest leader."
Luffy extended a finger, beckoning it dismissively.
"Come on, let me see the true power of the legendary CP9's strongest killing weapon."
Lucci's face was terrifyingly grim, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Don't think you can win with this weird sorcery! I'm not in their league!"
With a low growl, Lucci's body began to swell violently.
Muscles bulged, claws extended, and his human form instantly transformed into a half-human, half-leopard monster.
Zoan Type: Cat-Cat Fruit: Leopard Form!
"You have no idea who you're up against!"
Lucci's voice turned rough and savage: "We are the Dark Justice with a legal license to kill! No one can order us around except those fictitious CP0!"
"See this power? Devil Fruits are easy for us! Someone like you, a trashy Paramecia, I wouldn't even want you for free!"
Rob Lucci brandished his gleaming claws, his eyes filled with bloodlust.
Luffy gently placed Robin on the sofa, his movements as tender as if handling a rare treasure.
"I don't know whether to laugh at your stupidity or your ignorance."
Luffy cracked his neck.
"Those old guys up there are dreaming about my Devil Fruit."
"But then again, for pawns like you who could be sacrificed at any moment, knowing too much only makes you die faster."
Luffy's eyes turned cold, and a wisp of pink steam rose from his body.
"Gear Second!"
"Shave!"
"So fast!!"
Lucci's pupils shrank to pinpoints.
Even in his beastman form, with his dynamic vision greatly enhanced, he still couldn't see Luffy's movements clearly.
"I don't have the patience to watch you live for over a thousand episodes before you start causing trouble again."
Luffy's voice seemed to echo in his ears.
"So... please die!"
A jet-black fist, wreathed in Armament Haki, pierced through Lucci's chest in his horrified gaze.
"Pfft—!"
Blood splattered.
"How... is this possible..."
Rob Lucci stared incredulously at the gaping hole in his chest, his life force rapidly draining away.
"The difference... is... so huge..."
The massive leopard-man body slowly shrank, transforming back into the sinister agent's appearance.
"Mr. Iceberg! What happened?!"
Kalifa, hearing the loud bang, burst through the door and immediately witnessed this bloody scene.
Her most prized and strongest commander was now draped in Luffy's arm like a dead dog, his body riddled with those eerie black rods.
"Just as I suspected."
A glint of excitement flashed in Luffy's eyes, a red light flickered in his eye sockets, and the markings of his Rinnegan spun wildly.
"Stay in this body!"
With a violent surge of chakra, the Devil Fruit will within Lucci was forcibly suppressed within the corpse.
To Kalifa's utter horror, Luffy casually tossed Lucci's body into the Gates of Hell summoned by Kaku.
Instantly.
An unharmed Lucci stood behind Luffy once more.
Only his eyes had transformed into cold, rippling waves.
Luffy's mind stirred, and Lucci, in his "Human Path" form, transformed back into his leopard-man form!
Even more obedient and ferocious than in his previous life!
"Yo, isn't this our beautiful secretary?"
Luffy turned with a smile, looking at Kalifa, who was trembling at the door.
"What brings you to see the boss? I thought you were busy escorting Robin."
Kalifa trembled all over, even her hand pushing up her glasses shook: "You...who are you?"
"That's a really bad way to put it. Your intelligence work is terrible!"
Luffy slowly walked up to Kalifa and reached out to lift her delicate chin.
"I am Monkey D. Luffy, Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, your…nightmare."
He leaned close to Kalifa's ear and whispered, "Remember this, from now on, you are my trophy. I'll show you with your own eyes how ugly your so-called superiors are, and that you are nothing but trash they can discard at any time."
"Am I right? Mr. Iceberg?"
Luffy turned his head sharply, his gaze shooting towards the hospital bed.
The previously unconscious Iceberg had somehow awakened, now holding a short pistol, trembling as he pointed it at the sleeping Robin.
"Pointing a gun at my crew, that's not what a man does."
Iceberg frowned, staring intently at Luffy: "You're just like those jackals of the World Government, after the Pluton blueprints?"
"The Pluton blueprints?"
Luffy scoffed, as if he'd heard the funniest joke.
"That old relic? If I wanted it, I could build something a hundred times better in a minute."
Just kidding, he's still waiting to redeem the "Mirage" mech in his system shop.
Destroying an island in one hit? Which of the Four Emperors' Admirals couldn't do that? Pluton's only advantage is its mass production capability.
Iceberg looked incredulous: "Even the World Government covets the Third Generation Ancient Weapon! If it weren't for it, would you be carrying around Robin, such a huge problem?"
"Twenty years ago, my teacher Tom paid attention to this survivor of Ohara. She's the only key to reviving the Ancient Weapon! As the inheritor of my teacher's will, I have a duty to end this demon that could destroy the world!"
At this moment, Robin, lying on the sofa, trembled slightly.
Clearly, she was awake and had heard these words.
Luffy stepped forward, gently stroking her long hair, and responded to Iceberg with a cold smile.
"A coward's excuse."
"As long as humanity exists, the struggle will never end. Blaming a weapon is laughable."
"If the ancients could create Pluto, why can't modern people? Peace bought with the sacrifice of an innocent little girl—this hypocritical peace is better left unfulfilled!"
"Some backbones, once broken, cannot be mended. If this world truly needs to prolong its existence by sacrificing the innocent, then this morbid world is doomed!"
Robin suddenly opened her eyes.
Looking at Luffy's resolute profile, her usual carefree attitude vanished.
Moved, adoring, reverent… a surge of emotions welled up within her, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Luffy lowered his head, smiling, and took Robin's hand.
"Come on, I'll take you to wreak havoc, and then pick you up home."
Seeing Luffy's imposing presence, Iceberg listlessly lowered his short gun.
Luffy, arm in arm with Robin, swaggered out, followed by three "resurrected" powerful bodyguards—Pain-version Lucci, Kaku, and Kujiri.
"Hey, woman."
Luffy glanced at the terrified Kalifa as he passed the doorway.
"Contact the CP officer in charge of receiving us. Tell them I'm going to Enies Lobby."
Then he turned to Iceberg: "The ship's here with you. Remember my orders: replace it plank by plank! If even one plank is missing, I'll dismantle your shipyard."
