One Piece Talent System Chapter 102-103

"Ghost Hand Ross, We finally met."

"More than half a year ago, the mission to hunt you down was handed over to us. Where have you been in the past six months?"

Lucci looked at Ross calmly with a cold face.

"Take a guess."

Ross responded faintly and walked over to Robin. Seeing that she had no scars or injuries on her body, he turned his eyes back to Lucci and others.

At this time, Lucci, Kaku, and Jabra also stood together, Lucci stood in front, Kaku and Jabra stood on his left and right sides.

"… I'm not interested in where you went, but because of your disappearance, we have very little time available for this mission.

Lucci's tone was cold.

Ross gently took off the leather cap on his head and said, "That's a shame because it's a mission that is destined to fail."

With a flicker of his finger, he lightly threw his hat to the top of a wooden pole near the street.

The scene fell into silence.

Robin stood on the left side of Ross, while Laffitte stayed on the right side of Ross, forming a one-on-one confrontation with the enemy.

"I know all about you and I feel sorry for your initial experience, but you will die here because you wantonly killed many Marines and you are opposing the World government."

Lucci reached out and grabbed at his chest, pulled off a camouflage cloth that was draped outside, revealed the tight black windbreaker inside and looked calmly at Ross, saying:

"No matter how fierce of a pirate you are, No matter how powerful you are, It is impossible for a single Pirate to oppose the  World Government."

Whiz!

The moment his voice fell, Lucci moved like a bolt of black lightning, showed much faster speed than Kaku and Jabra and instantaneously appeared in front of Ross, sweeping at Ross with one foot.

"Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)… Sen(Line)!"

The powerful foot force, which was not known to the ordinary people, directly kicked a huge chop and swept between Ross's chest and abdomen and even included Laffitte and Robin in the scope of the attack.

Today, less than nine years before Luffy went to sea, Lucci, and others in the original book hid their power for Pluton drawings in Water Seven and did not practice for five years. Today their strength is not much different from that time.

Whiz Whiz!

Laffitte and Robin reacted quickly and retreated toward the side.

Ross stood in place, without any intention of avoiding the coming attack. He raised his right hand and grabbed that coming wind blade that held enough power to cut a building and Ross caught that attack with his bare hands.

Zi Zi!

The coming wind swipe touched Ross's palm and instantly turned into a tangible substance, making a nurturing sound, constantly bursting and trying to tear Ross's palm apart, tearing the layer of the power of distortion on Ross's palm.

However, regardless of how this attack broke out, it was impossible for it to break the power of distortion on Ross's palm, This wind attack was held by Ross and in midair and then he threw it away like a small snake.

Sneer!

The attack was thrown away by Ross and it landed on the top of a building on one side and cut off the whole upper part of the building. The upper part of the building collapsed and crashed into the street.

"I don't know if I can compete against the World Government, but I do know that you are not enough to compete with us."

Ross slowly put down his right hand. He didn't take a single step from beginning till now.

Lucci stared at Ross and heard Ross's words. Instead of being angry, he said, "Really… Anyone can talk big.

Whiz! Whiz!

During Lucci's confrontation with Ross, Kaku and Jabra quarreled again and charged towards their opponents, respectively.

Kaku chose Laffitte directly because Robin was a woman, while Jabra decided to grab Robin to make fun of Kaku's pride.

Kaku pulled out the two swords that had never been used. He would not treat Laffitte as carelessly as he did Robin, but he will consider him his opponent.

"Demon Sherrif, Laffitte… Lucci chose the strongest one and I don't want to fight a woman, so I'll have to let you be my opponent.

"Hoo hoo, One of the hidden spy agencies of the Government, CP9. I am very interested in you, now let's fight."

Laffitte rotated the mahogany cane and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised as he politely accepted the fight.

He's good at sneaking and hiding and he is naturally interested in members of the World Governmental Subordinates Secret Espionage Agency and wants to see how good they are.

On the other side, Robin stood there with a cold face and stared at Jabra. She had no fear in dealing with CP9 members in a one-to-one manner.

"Gaha ha ha ha… Left it to Kaku who couldn't even catch a single woman even though he chased you for half a day. If I can easily catch you, then Kaku will not be able to raise his head in front of me.

Jabra looked at Robin with a funny and sly smile on his face.

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

It seems that their minds are connected as six people attacked each other at the same time.

When Lucci's previous attack did not work against Ross, he judged that Ross's strength was not normal and he would need to use all of his abilities.

His body swelled at a rapid speed and in a flash, he was taller than Ross. He had a huge body shape with his muscles bulging. His skin was covered with a pattern of leopards and his fingers became leopard claws.

Zoan Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard!

Compared with countless messy Devil Fruit, the leopard-shaped fruit is among Zoan's strongest, second only to the illusory and ancient Devil Fruit.

"Rankyaku "Gaicho"(Victorious Bird)!"

Lucci whispered as he leaped up in the air. The powerful force under the leopard form was completely under his control. His legs and feet were like blades, splitting sharply at Ross's position.

Buzz!!

In an instant, a huge chop, nearly 100 meters long, burst out from his leg and fell head-on towards Ross, This chop has enough power to destroy a large Battleship in an instant!

Kaku and Laffitte, who were fighting were forced to leap further away under the enormous power of the blow.

"Such a great power…"

Robin looked at the street that had been torn apart in a moment and her face changed slightly. Just now she felt that Lucci's level was different from Kaku's and now it seems that her instincts were right.

Not far from her left, Jabra laughed like a jackal. "Although I don't want to admit it, Lucci's strength is the strongest among us. Not only that, but that fellow is… the strongest person in the 800-year history of CP9!

Great Age of Pirates in 13th year.

Bang!

In a moment of tremendous chopping, a trench of nearly 100 meters in length broke out in the street. However, Lucci, standing in the air with Geppō (Moonwalk), did not show any relaxed expression but instead stared at the bottom with cold eyes.

In the midst of the dusty street, Ross's figure gradually emerged. Ross was still standing in the same place, with a crack nearly 100 meters long, which was centered on him and was divided into two parts without any change in the ground beneath his feet.

At this moment, Ross is holding his arm up and making a virtual grasping posture. As the dust gradually dissipates, he slowly withdraws his arm.

Ross looked at the sky.

"It's a miscalculation…"

At that moment, because the attack came too fast and covered too much area, the moment it touched his palm, it fell to both sides of his body.

It's like a whip is thrown on a nail, leaving a trail of whipping on both sides of the nail, but the small area where the nail is located is in a nondestructive state.

I was going to throw it back, but it was broken all of a sudden.

"You're better than the Marine Vice-Admiral I met, but I'm stronger."

Ross calmly said and then suddenly disappeared, appearing over Lucci and kicking him with his foot.

Lucci glared at Ross but did not avoid the coming attack and he also kicked towards Ross.

Bang!

Their feets collided in the air, Lucci's foot was wrapped in a strong wind, exerting his strong foot strength to the extream. The blow was almost the same as that of Rankyaku (Tempest Kick).

In terms of physical strength, Lucci in the leopard form is stronger than Ross, but Ross's strength comes from his body and not from a Devil Fruit.

The two forces collided and surged in the air, making a tremendous noise that shook the surrounding area. Those who had already fled the street were shocked when they heard and felt the terrifying movement.

"Is this an earthquake?!"

"No… someone is fighting…"

"Are you stupid? Can a fight between some people produce such a big movement?!"

In horror and shock, countless people fled farther away. The loud voice alone forced them to cover their ears.

Bang!

A few seconds later, Ross and Lucci determined the strength and weakness of each other in just one move, Lucci's condensed attack was defeated by the power of distortion and Lucci could no longer stay in the air, He fell like a meteor on the ground and created a small crater on the ground.

Not far from the fight, Kaku and Jabra were shocked seeing this scene. For the first time, they saw Lucci fall into a difficult position in a face-to-face confrontation.

Although Ross had attacked from the top and Lucci has attacked from the bottom and Ross's use of Gravity can also be submitted as a reason for Lucci defeat in this round, But Ross is the strongest person they have met so far!

"Cough! Cough!"

Lucci, who was thrown into the earth was not badly injured. As early as he fell halfway down, he launched Tekkai (Iron Body). He's already stronger body got even stronger under Tekkai (Iron Body) and it made his body much harder than ordinary steel, but his body also possesses the strength and toughness that steel did not possess.

"You are quite strong."

Lucci jumped out of the hole that his body has made and looked at Ross suspended in the air and snorted. It is a delight for him to meet a powerful opponent that made his blood boil with fighting intent.

Ross's face was expressionless and his figure flashed. He suddenly rushed towards Lucci. He was in the air and his punch had already fallen.

Whiz!

Lucci didn't confront Ross head on this time, but his figure flashed as he retreated and then he bent his fingers and slammed them into Ross's direction.

Some small air bombs were ejected from his fingers and rushed towards Ross.

Ross did not escape and allowed the small air bombs to hit his body. These air bombs only pierced some holes in his clothes and then all collapsed under the influence of the power of distortion, without any effect.

"This little trick doesn't work for me."

Ross fell to the ground, looked at Rob Lucci with indifferent eyes, then raised his hands and gently closed them in front of him.

Bang!

The whole street shook violently and under the slightly shocked gazes of Jabra and Kaku, like two gates, with Lucci's location as the center, it burst open and then squeezed into the middle.

Lucci's eyes flashed with danger and he tried to avoid the wide-range attack. To his surprise, the power of distortion transmitted from the ground beneath his feet and directly penetrated his feet, making his feet slightly numb and slowing down his escape.

It was this slow step that made him instantly caught in the middle by the uplifted earth, It was like a tiny mosquito was caught between two huge Iron Wall.

Ross's power of distortion has been able to touch his opponent's body directly through the earth. Although the power will be greatly weakened due to distance and multi-layered media, it can still cause some damage.

Bang!

The force of the blow was much greater than that of Tempest Kick, which Lucci had used before. The 100-meter-wide streets split from the center, then rolled over and squeezed into the center like waves and even miles away its momentum was deafening.

"Lucci…"

"It's too late, what the hell is this guy?!"

The rest of the CP9 forces finally arrived at the battlefield at this time. They looked at the hill-like thing that was tens of meters high and nearly 100 meters wide and they couldn't help but look at it in fear and surprise.

Although after the government's heavy selection and trials, their physical fitness has become countless times better than that of an ordinary person. But this is the first time that they have witnessed such a scene where the street itself rose from the ground and formed a small hill.

Kāchā! Kāchā!

In silence, at the top of the hillside, mud, and rocks cracked and burst apart. Lucci's figure jumped out and landed on the ground.

Cough! Cough!

Lucci coughed violently, he was bleeding from his mouth and his appearance was extremely bad. Fortunately, his physical body was very strong and combined that with his Devil Fruit Leopard shape and Tekkai defensive power, his injuries were not serious.

Ross has no expressions on his face as he stared at Lucci.

Although he only used less than half of the power of distortion to cast the attack, Lucci body in leopard shape was strong enough to withstand his attack with minimal injuries.

If he can exercise his body to the limit then it will be terrifying. His body will reach a level where even Whitebeard will not be able to resist the power of a single Distorted punch.

Zhe!

Lucci stretched out his finger and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, He looked at Ross in the distance with slight dignity and said, "It seems that our Intelligence has misjudged your strength."

"But……"

"If your strength only ends at this level, you won't be able to win. That clumsy trick will not work a second time!"
