Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Defeated Franky, Lucci Appears!

This time, Raynor did not try to block it head-on. He quickly dodged instead.

Franky’s fist slammed into the ground, leaving a huge crater where it hit.

Somehow, Franky’s strength had increased by a shocking amount.

If Raynor had used Iron Body to take that punch, he would have died horribly.

Franky kept attacking Raynor. In an instant, the Galley-La Company headquarters had been reduced to ruins.

Seeing this, Iceburg shouted:

"Hey, Franky! What the hell are you doing? Stop right now!"

Only then did Franky slow down, though his cola fuel was also nearly exhausted.

Taking advantage of the opening, Raynor kicked Franky and sent him flying.

Raynor lowered the brim of his hat and said:

"If you refuse to join the Straw Hat crew, I’ll beat you until you agree."

Hearing this, Franky struggled to sit up, a trace of anger showing in his eyes.

He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a powerful presence behind him.

Franky’s eyes filled with shock. He had not heard any footsteps, so why had such an overwhelming presence suddenly appeared behind him?

Franky was just about to turn around when a man wearing a black coat and a skull mask kicked him straight into the air.

Even Franky’s iron body was twisted by the impact. He crashed into the Adam tree and passed out.

Seeing this, Lucci said coldly:

"How did things get this complicated? It was supposed to be a simple assassination."

As he spoke, the skull mask tilted upward, revealing his gaze fixed on Raynor, who stood nearby.

Raynor looked back at him. This was completely different from their brief encounter earlier that day.

It was obvious that Lucci was fired up and itching to fight Raynor.

After seeing what had happened to Kaku and Blueno, Lucci could also confirm that Raynor was strong enough to fight him.

When Robin saw Lucci, she began breathing heavily. She then looked at Raynor and said:

"Leave now! This monster is completely different from those two. You’re no match for him!"

Hearing this, Raynor raised his head slightly. There were probably only a handful of people Robin would admit were stronger than her.

That alone showed how much pressure Lucci was putting on her.

But Raynor had fought Hawkeye before. He refused to believe that Lucci could be stronger than him.

With that thought, Raynor gently stroked Robin’s hair and said:

"Don’t worry. I’ve already killed two monsters like him. Even monsters have their own way of fighting."

Hearing this, Lucci’s eyes grew serious.

He gathered strength in his leg and instantly launched a Tempest Kick toward Raynor.

Raynor refused to back down. He raised his own leg and fired a Tempest Kick in return.

The two slashing attacks collided, and a brilliant flash of light burst through the surrounding air.

But when the light faded, shock appeared in Raynor’s eyes.

Lucci’s Tempest Kick had actually left behind a lingering blade of energy. It suddenly shot toward Robin.

Raynor quickly shoved Robin out of the way, and the Tempest Kick struck his already injured arm.

A wave of pain hit Raynor, and cold sweat poured from his forehead.

He had not expected his Tempest Kick to lose to Lucci’s.

But Lucci had been training in the Marine Six Styles since childhood.

Since gaining his system and awakening Haki, Raynor had not tried to train in the Six Styles again.

If they were competing with the Six Styles alone, he naturally could not beat Lucci.

But when it came to overall strength, he was definitely superior to Lucci.

As Raynor thought this, Lucci disappeared from where he stood. When he appeared again, he was already right in front of Raynor.

Lucci thrust one finger toward Raynor’s shoulder blade.

Raynor tried to dodge, but it was too late. All he could do was counter with a Finger Pistol.

The two of them pierced each other’s shoulders at the same time before jumping backward.

However, Lucci had targeted Raynor’s injured arm. Blood began running down it again.

Lucci’s shoulder, on the other hand, had suffered only a minor surface wound. The damage had not reached anything deeper.

Seeing blood seep from Raynor’s arm, Lucci gave him a sinister smile.

"Not bad. Even with such serious injuries, you still managed to trade blows with me. I admit that you’re strong. But anyone who stands in our way has to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lucci vanished and reappeared in front of Raynor.

This time, Raynor was ready. He used Observation Haki to evade Lucci’s attack in an instant.

He then appeared behind Lucci and prepared to use a Tempest Kick.

But Lucci used his own power to flash to Raynor’s left side and kicked toward him.

Raynor had no choice but to dodge again.

The two of them exchanged more than twenty moves in an instant before separating and breathing heavily.

Excitement appeared in Lucci’s eyes. He removed the hood from his head and tossed it aside.

A wild, leopard-like look appeared in his eyes.

When Iceburg saw Lucci’s true face, shock filled his eyes.

"How is this possible? Rob Lucci, you’re a member of Cipher Pol 9!"

Hearing this, Lucci glanced toward Iceburg, his eyes turning cold.

"I let my identity slip by accident. It seems, Mr. Iceburg, that you won’t be alive to face the people of Water 7 today."

Iceburg took two steps backward. Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

Iceburg turned around and saw a tall woman wearing a white mask walking straight toward him.

The next second, the woman kicked Iceburg in the waist and sent him flying.

Iceburg had just started to get up when the woman stepped on him and forced him back down.

She removed her mask as well. When Iceburg saw her face, terror filled his eyes.

"Kalifa? How is this possible? You’re a member of Cipher Pol 9 too?!"

As soon as Iceburg finished speaking, Kalifa kicked him straight in the face.

"I’m sorry, Boss Iceburg. Please allow me to resign from my position as your secretary. I truly hoped you would cooperate with our work, but unfortunately, it’s too late now."

As she spoke, Kalifa kicked him twice more, knocking Iceburg unconscious.

Kalifa walked step by step toward Lucci, then asked in a seductive voice:

"What is it, Lucci? Do you need help?"

Hearing this, Lucci’s expression turned hostile.

"Stay out of this. Take Kaku and Blueno away. I’ll deal with this kid myself."

Hearing this, Kalifa frowned slightly and looked toward Nico Robin.

"What should we do with Nico Robin?"
