Rewinding a bit, on Nami's side...

She stood across from the dangerous CP9 agent Kalifa. Nami knew she had to rely on her wits to win this fight—Kalifa was faster and more experienced, but Nami had her new Clima-Tact, and with it, a plan. As Kalifa smirked, cracking her whip in the air, Nami took a deep breath, gripping her staff tightly.

Kalifa's whip lashed out first, the weapon whistling through the air with lethal speed. Nami barely dodged, rolling to the side as the whip sliced into the floor, sending debris flying. "You can't dodge forever, little girl," Kalifa taunted, her eyes gleaming with cruel amusement.

Nami smirked back, raising her Clima-Tact. "Who said anything about dodging?" With a flick of her wrist, she created small clouds that crackled with electricity, the beginnings of a storm forming between her and Kalifa.

Kalifa chuckled, not impressed by the small clouds. "Cute trick," she sneered, before kicking off with Soru, disappearing from sight.

Nami's eyes widened, but she didn't panic. Instead, she used her Mirage Tempo to blur her position, creating a shifting illusion of herself. When Kalifa reappeared behind her, whip cracking through the air, Nami's image shimmered, dodging the blow with a quick step.

"You'll have to try harder than that!" Nami taunted, her voice echoing as the mirage moved rapidly around the battlefield.

Kalifa's eyebrow twitched. "We'll see how long you can keep running," she hissed, flicking her wrist to unleash a series of rapid strikes with her whip. Each one sliced through the air, aiming for Nami's shifting form, but none connected. The illusion danced around her, keeping her at bay.

Annoyed, Kalifa flicked her whip toward a large stone pillar, the weapon coiling around it before she yanked it down with a powerful pull. The stone crumbled, collapsing towards Nami's mirage.

For a moment, Nami seemed trapped under the falling debris, but her image shimmered again. She had moved, the real Nami already positioning herself farther back, keeping her distance as Kalifa cursed under her breath.

"That trick's not going to work forever," Kalifa snapped. She adjusted her stance, a grin spreading across her face. "Let's see how you handle this." Her body gleamed as she activated her Devil Fruit ability, her skin becoming slippery and shining like soap. With a simple touch of her hand, a bubble appeared in her palm, and she hurled it toward Nami's last known position.

Kalifa flicked her wrist, releasing a swarm of soap bubbles toward Nami. The bubbles expanded on impact, coating Nami in a slick, shiny layer. "Golden Hour!" Kalifa declared with a smirk, watching as the soap began to drain Nami's strength and impair her movements. Nami's legs wobbled as the strength left her, and her body felt heavier, her muscles unable to respond as usual. Her skin shimmered unnaturally, smooth and shiny, as the slippery bubbles coated her completely.

Nami tried to stand her ground, but her legs buckled, sending her crashing to the ground with a gasp. Her hands slipped on the soapy floor, her grip loosening on the Clima-Tact as it clattered uselessly to the side. She gritted her teeth, frustration bubbling up as she tried to fight the effects.

Kalifa sauntered over, laughing at Nami's struggle. "You can't even stand, can you?" she teased, twirling her whip lazily in one hand. "My Awa Awa no Mi has drained all your strength. You're as helpless as a baby. And now, you're going to be a shiny little doll."

Nami's body trembled, her muscles refusing to cooperate as she attempted to push herself up. She knew Kalifa wasn't bluffing—her strength was slipping away with every second. But she wasn't about to give up. Her eyes flickered toward the Clima-Tact just out of reach, and she wracked her brain for a plan.

Kalifa, overconfident and sure of her victory, stepped closer. "You're finished," she declared, coiling her whip, ready to strike. "Not even that little toy of yours will save you."

Nami's hand twitched, brushing against the Clima-Tact. The small clouds she had created earlier gathered around her, raindrops forming and splashing down onto her skin. The water from the rain washed away the slippery soap coating her body, allowing Nami to regain some mobility. Kalifa's smirk faltered as she noticed Nami slowly getting back to her feet.

"What? How are you—" Kalifa began, her eyes narrowing as Nami stood, her grip tightening around the Clima-Tact once again.

"You're going to regret underestimating me," Nami shot back, her voice steady despite the lingering weakness. She activated the Thunder Charge Tempo, charging her staff with electricity. Kalifa's expression shifted to one of disbelief as Nami stood tall, ready to fight back.

Kalifa snarled, whipping her weapon in the air. "That's just luck. It won't save you." She flicked her wrist, sending another barrage of soap bubbles toward Nami.

Nami didn't wait to be hit. She spun the Clima-Tact in a circle above her head, using the water from the rain to strengthen her Mirage Tempo, creating even more convincing illusions. Multiple Namis now darted around the battlefield, their forms twisting and shimmering under the rain.

Kalifa growled in frustration, swinging her whip wildly at the illusions. "Stop hiding, coward!" she yelled, her whip slicing through the air only to pass through one mirage after another.

"Who's hiding?" Nami's voice echoed, her real form hidden among the illusions. As Kalifa whirled around, trying to locate her, Nami took her chance, quickly activating a new trick from her Clima-Tact. A bolt of electricity shot from the staff, striking Kalifa in the side.

Kalifa gasped in shock, her body stiffening as the electricity coursed through her, but she managed to stay on her feet. "That... won't work... on me," she panted, glaring at Nami through clenched teeth. "I'm just getting started."

Nami clicked her tongue in annoyance. Kalifa was tough, and Nami knew she couldn't afford to let this drag on much longer. She needed to wear her down, fast.

Kalifa charged forward, her whip lashing out with brutal precision. Nami darted to the side, her Clima-Tact spinning as she activated Mirage Tempo, creating several copies of herself. The real Nami slipped through the confusion, keeping a watchful eye on Kalifa's movements. The CP9 agent's eyes flicked between the illusions, her frustration growing with each missed strike.

"Running again?" Kalifa sneered, hurling a bubble toward one of the illusions. The soapy mass expanded on impact, dissolving the mirage into nothing. Kalifa's whip cracked again, tearing through more illusions, but Nami was already moving.

Nami turned and sprinted toward the center of the battlefield, where Usopp and Chopper were locked in combat with Kumadori. She needed to find a better envoirment to hid herself while distracting Kalifa with mirages and buy herself time. Kalifa's whip whistled through the air behind her, slicing into the ground as Nami narrowly avoided the attacks.

Kalifa's lips curled into a wicked grin as she advanced. "You think you can run forever, little mouse?" She flicked her wrist, sending a spray of bubbles toward Nami. The soapy spheres exploded across the ground, coating everything in a slippery mess. Nami stumbled, catching herself just in time.

Chopper, still in his Arm Point, swung at Kumadori with powerful fists. Kumadori deflected the blows with his staff, grinning wildly as he danced around the battlefield. "Life is suffering!" he declared with a flourish, twirling his weapon as he evaded another punch from Chopper.

Sogeking fired off a barrage of Firebird Stars at Kumadori, aiming for his legs. The flames singed Kumadori's robe, but the agent moved too fast for a direct hit.

Nami burst into the their side, her face pale and frantic. "Ahhh! Get away!" she gasped, pointing toward the hallway.

"Great, more trouble!" Sogeking groaned, glancing toward the door.

Kalifa appeared a moment later, her whip snapping in the air as she advanced. "Little girl, you're not getting away this time!" she sneered, her eyes cold.

Without wasting another second, Nami darted back out the door, Kalifa hot on her heels. The sound of their footsteps quickly faded, leaving Chopper and Sogeking to face Kumadori alone once more.

Kalifa scowled, clearly annoyed. "Stop hiding behind those tricks, girl!" she shouted, snapping her whip in frustration. She flicked her wrist again, sending another wave of bubbles at Nami. The soap spread quickly, coating the ground and making it difficult to keep her balance.

Nami found herself near a destructed area where Sanji and Jabra had fought earlier. The ground was littered with large and small debris—broken stone pillars, crumbled walls, and shards of wood—perfect cover. She dashed behind a larger chunk of stone, using her Mirage Tempo to create several copies of herself, flickering in and out of sight between the rubble.

Kalifa, trailing closely behind, paused when she saw the illusions scatter. She cracked her whip through the air, snapping it toward one of the mirages. "Tricks again?" Kalifa scoffed, her eyes darting between the flickering Namis. "You can't hide forever, little mouse."

Nami crouched low, sweat dripping down her face as she summoned a small cloud above her head with her Clima-Tact, quietly charging it with electricity. Kalifa flicked her wrist, sending another wave of soap bubbles into the debris, coating the ground and debris in slippery foam. Nami slipped slightly but caught herself, her heart racing. Kalifa was relentless, and her Devil Fruit made it even more dangerous to move around.

As Kalifa advanced, testing her fruit more, she lazily sent soap bubbles out, watching how the surroundings reacted to the slippery foam. She wasn't rushing; instead, she seemed to enjoy drawing out the fight, trying new ways to use her powers.

Nami took advantage of the delay, hiding deeper within the debris as her Mirage Tempo created another illusion. Kalifa's whip lashed out again, aiming at the closest mirage, but it passed harmlessly through. "You're just wasting time," Kalifa muttered, clearly irritated.

Nami grinned from her cover. She couldn't beat Kalifa in close combat, but her illusions and the weather could. She raised her Clima-Tact, quietly preparing Lightning Tempo, charging the storm cloud she had summoned earlier. Small bolts of lightning sparked between her fingers as she stayed hidden, biding her time.

Kalifa, growing tired of the cat-and-mouse game, unleashed a larger wave of soap bubbles, covering the entire battlefield with a slick sheen. Nami, anticipating this, leaped to another cover, her form shimmering as the Mirage Tempo created another distraction. Kalifa's whip lashed out, but Nami stayed just out of reach, her illusions darting from one spot to another.

Suddenly, Kalifa's attention shifted as a loud roar echoed through the battlefield. Both she and Nami looked toward the sound, seeing Chopper's massive Monster Point rampaging in the distance. Kalifa's eyes widened slightly in shock as she watched the hulking figure of Chopper smashing through everything in his path, the sheer force of his blows shaking the entire structure.

Nami took a deep breath, realizing she didn't have much time before the chaos would spill into her fight. Kalifa was distracted for just a moment, her eyes fixed on the distant battle. Nami knew she had to act fast.

She quickly adjusted her Clima-Tact, setting up the final part of her plan. With Kalifa's back turned, Nami activated Thunder Charge Tempo, sending a surge of electricity into the storm cloud she had created. The cloud crackled and expanded above the battlefield, casting ominous shadows over the broken ground.

Kalifa turned back, sensing something was off, but it was too late. Nami was already in position behind her, hiding among the debris. She raised her Clima-Tact high, pointing it toward the charged storm cloud above.

"Thunder Lance Tempo!" Nami shouted.

A massive bolt of lightning shot down from the cloud, striking Kalifa directly. The CP9 agent let out a sharp cry as the electricity coursed through her body, her whip falling from her grasp. Her body convulsed from the shock, and she stumbled forward, the soapy ground making it impossible for her to regain her balance.

Kalifa collapsed to her knees, her body twitching from the aftershocks of the lightning strike. Nami emerged from her hiding spot, breathing hard but victorious. She approached Kalifa cautiously, her Clima-Tact still crackling with residual electricity.

Kalifa, gasping for breath, glared up at Nami. "You... brat..." she hissed through gritted teeth, her body trembling from the lingering effects of the lightning.

Nami didn't gloat. She simply raised her Clima-Tact again, keeping Kalifa in her sights. "You shouldn't underestimate me," she said, her voice steady.

Kalifa tried to rise but slipped on the soapy ground again, falling back with a frustrated growl. Nami turned and walked away, leaving Kalifa lying in defeat among the debris.

Rewinding a little while ago, on Sanji's side...

Sanji stood in the middle of the destruction, the remnants of his clash with Jabra still fresh in the air. His suit jacket was torn, his cigarette barely hanging between his lips. The bruised and battered wolf-man groaned a few feet away, trying to pick himself up, but Sanji wasn't having any of it.

"Stay down, mongrel," Sanji muttered, his voice cool. Jabra snarled, struggling to rise, but Sanji was already moving.

With a swift kick, Sanji closed the distance, his foot catching Jabra in the ribs and sending him flying into a nearby wall. The force of the impact caused the stone to crack, dust and debris raining down as Jabra slumped to the ground, clutching his side in pain. Sanji didn't let up, his feet moving in a blur as he followed up with a series of rapid kicks, each one driving deeper into Jabra's body.

"Damn you!" Jabra spat, wiping blood from his mouth as he staggered back to his feet. His body began to transform, fur sprouting from his skin as he shifted into his full wolf form. His yellow eyes gleamed with anger as he launched forward with Tekkai, his hardened body aiming to absorb Sanji's next blow.

His yellow eyes gleamed with anger as he launched forward with Tekkai, his hardened body aiming to absorb Sanji's next blow.

But Sanji was ready. He spun on his heel, his leg igniting with flames as he unleashed a brutal Diable Jambe.

"Party Table Kick Course!" Sanji shouted, his leg connecting with Jabra's iron body. The sheer heat of the attack caused the air to sizzle, and Jabra let out a howl of pain as the flames seared his skin. The force of the kick sent Jabra flying across the room, crashing through several pillars before landing in a heap of rubble.

Just as Sanji was about to charge again, a roar stopped both him and Jabra in their tracks. The monstrous sound shook the air, and both fighters looked up, mouths agape. The ground trembled beneath their feet as they laid eyes on a towering figure.

"Chopper," Sanji muttered, recognizing the hulking, monstrous form of his crewmate in Monster Point.

The debris from their earlier clash was strewn around them, creating an uneven battlefield. Jabra, catching sight of the massive Chopper, cursed under his breath. The wolf-man, always looking for an advantage, saw an opportunity and made his move. Without wasting time, Jabra turned and ran, his feet pounding the ground as he darted through the debris.

The debris from their earlier clash was strewn around them, creating an uneven battlefield. Jabra, catching sight of the massive Chopper, cursed under his breath. The wolf-man, always looking for an advantage, saw an opportunity and made his move. Without wasting time, Jabra turned and ran, his feet pounding the ground as he darted through the debris. He headed toward the center of the tower where a massive staircase spiraled down to the lower levels.

Sanji's eyes narrowed as he watched Jabra's retreating figure, and he was quick to follow, his legs propelling him forward. He could hear Jabra's maniacal laughter echoing through the tower as the wolf-man leapt over the edge of the staircase, free-falling toward the ground below.

Sanji didn't hesitate. He leapt after him, the wind whipping through his hair as he descended. But Jabra had planned for this. Mid-air, the CP9 agent twisted his body, claws extended, and lashed out at Sanji with a vicious swipe. "Fighting a Rokushiki Master in mid-air? Foolish!"

The wolf-man's claws tore through Sanji's side, cutting into his stomach. A sharp pain shot through him, but Sanji didn't slow down. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he grabbed onto Jabra mid-air, using the momentum of the fall to spin both his bodies around. The two fighters twisted in a deadly dance as they hurtled toward the ground.

Jabra's eyes widened in surprise as Sanji used him like a pivot, his flaming leg arcing through the air. The heat from the flames intensified as Sanji's Diable Jambe blazing, the fire wrapping around his leg in a swirling inferno.

"Diable Jambe! Flambage Shot!" Sanji roared, the flames roaring louder as he spun.

The momentum of the spin gave his attack incredible force, and Sanji's burning leg connected directly with Jabra's face. The impact was immediate, the sound of bone cracking echoed through the tower as Jabra's head whipped to the side, his body twisting uncontrollably from the sheer power of the blow. The fire singed his fur, and the force of the kick sent him crashing into the ground below.

Jabra's body hit the stone floor with a sickening thud, the ground cracking beneath him as debris exploded outward. He lay motionless, his chest rising and falling shallowly, clearly knocked out cold from the brutal attack. The once-cocky CP9 agent was now sprawled out, defeated, his face swollen and burned from Sanji's final strike.

Sanji landed gracefully a few feet away, his hand clutching the bleeding wound in his stomach. He straightened up, breathing heavily but still steady. He spared one last glance at Jabra's unconscious form, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"God creates food, and devil creates the seasoning," Sanji muttered, pulling a fresh cigarette from his pocket.

Climbing back to the tower, Sanji noticed Coby laying the now normal but unconscious Chopper beside Robin. Sanji lit another cigarette, his face still grimacing from the wound in his stomach.

"Coby, you bastard," Sanji grumbled, hands in his pockets, his voice dripping with annoyance. "Why do I get so little screen time compared to the others?"

Coby didn't even look at him, just rolled his eyes and muttered, "How the hell should I know, dumbass?"

Rewinding a little...

Zoro, already with his bandana wrapped around his head, squared off against Kaku, who was now in his full Giraffe form. Both had taken hits—Zoro with fresh cuts and bruises, and Kaku with a few burns and slashes marring his giraffe-like body. The massive creature loomed over Zoro, its long neck swaying slightly as Kaku grinned down at him.

"You're still standing? Impressive," Kaku sneered, his voice rougher in this transformed state. "But I haven't even shown you my best moves yet."

Zoro's hand tightened around the hilts of his swords, his eyes narrowing. "I don't care what form you take. You're still getting sliced."

Kaku snorted, then suddenly vanished from sight, using Soru to close the gap between them in an instant. His leg shot out in a brutal Rankyaku, sending a massive air blade toward Zoro.

Without missing a beat, Zoro raised both swords and slashed through the air, cutting the Rankyaku in two before it could reach him. The force of the move sent shockwaves rippling through the stone beneath them, but Zoro remained steady.

Kaku reappeared to Zoro's right, lashing out with his elongated neck, trying to headbutt him with the full force of his giraffe form. Zoro sidestepped the blow, rolling forward to avoid another Rankyaku aimed at his back.

Kaku smirked. "You're quick, but this is just getting started!" He leaped into the air with Geppo, kicking off invisible footholds to stay suspended above Zoro. His legs blurred as he unleashed a barrage of Rankyakus from all angles, the sharp air blades slicing through the air toward Zoro.

Zoro's eyes darted around, assessing the incoming attacks. He planted his feet and crossed his swords in front of him. "Tatsumaki!" he shouted, spinning in place with both swords, creating a violent whirlwind that sucked in and dispersed the incoming Rankyakus. The air pressure clashed with Kaku's attacks, sending them scattering harmlessly into the walls.

"Not bad!" Kaku laughed, descending rapidly with another Soru. This time, he aimed for a direct kick to Zoro's midsection, intending to end it in one strike. "But let's see you handle this!"

Zoro grinned as he braced himself, his third sword clenched between his teeth. As Kaku's hoof came crashing down, Zoro ducked and twisted his body, dodging by inches. "Time to cut you down, giraffe boy."

With a swift motion, Zoro launched forward. "Oni Giri!" His swords slashed through the air, aimed directly at Kaku's exposed torso. But Kaku, using his Tekkai, hardened his body, taking the brunt of the attack. Sparks flew as Zoro's blades clashed against Kaku's iron defense.

Kaku smirked, but Zoro wasn't done. "You're not the only one who's tough." He pushed forward with a burst of strength, his swords digging deeper into Kaku's Tekkai. Cracks formed along the surface of Kaku's defense as Zoro's sheer force started to break through.

Kaku grunted and pulled back, using Soru to put some distance between them. He landed a few feet away, breathing heavily but still grinning. "You've got some power, swordsman. But I've got a trick you won't see coming."

Zoro didn't respond, just adjusted his grip on his swords, ready for whatever came next.

Suddenly, Kaku twisted his body in an unnatural way, his long neck contorting as he prepared another attack. "I've been saving this! Rankyaku: Amane Dachi!" With a single wide slash, Kaku unleashed a massive crescent-shaped air blade, larger and more powerful than any Rankyaku he had used before. It tore through the battlefield, slicing through stone and debris, heading straight for Zoro.

Zoro's eyes narrowed, his body tensing as he prepared to meet the attack head-on. He crossed his swords in front of him, planting his feet firmly on the ground. "Sanbyakurokuju Pound Ho!" With a powerful swing, Zoro released his own projectile, a massive flying slash that collided with Kaku's Rankyaku in midair. The two forces clashed, sending a shockwave rippling through the area, the sheer force of the impact blowing back dust and debris.

For a moment, the air was filled with nothing but the sound of the two attacks grinding against each other. A roar suddenly halted their fight. Zoro, locked in a clash of swords with Kaku, glanced over at the monstrous form of his crewmate. "Is that Chopper?" he muttered in disbelief, pushing harder against Kaku's swords. Both side wanting to overpower the other. But Zoro's strength won out. His Pound Ho sliced clean through Kaku's attack, dispelling it and continuing forward, heading straight for the giraffe-man.

Kaku's eyes widened as he barely dodged to the side, the attack grazing his shoulder and leaving a deep cut along his torso. He stumbled back, clutching the wound as blood dripped down his side.

Zoro didn't let up. He rushed forward, his swords flashing in the dim light of the battlefield. "This ends now!"

Kaku growled, his body tensing as he prepared for one final move. "You think you've got me figured out? Let's see if you can handle this!" He reared back, his giraffe legs bulging with muscle as he prepared to unleash one final, devastating Rankyaku.

But Zoro was already on him. With a burst of speed, Zoro closed the gap, his swords raised high. "Asura!" A dark aura surrounded Zoro as he activated his most powerful technique. For a brief moment, it seemed as if Zoro had grown three heads and six arms, each holding a sword.

Kaku's eyes widened in shock, his Rankyaku faltering as he stared at Zoro's demonic form. "What the hell is that?!"

Zoro's voice was calm, almost bored. "Your end."

In a single, fluid motion, Zoro brought all three swords down in a massive strike. "Asura: Ichibugin!" The force of the attack was overwhelming, crashing down on Kaku with the weight of all three swords. Kaku tried to block with his Tekkai, but it was no use. Zoro's attack tore through his defense, cutting deep into his flesh.

Kaku let out a roar of pain as the force of the blow sent him crashing into the ground, blood spraying from his wounds. He hit the stone floor hard, the impact creating a crater beneath him.

Zoro stood over him, his swords at the ready, waiting to see if Kaku would rise again. But the CP9 agent remained still, his body battered and broken from the relentless assault.

Zoro exhaled slowly, sheathing his swords as he turned away. "That's one down. Oh, Paulie said you are fired."

Rewinding a little...

Luffy, already used Gear Second twice, was in a brutal fight against Rob Lucci, who was in Hybrid Form. The clash of fists and claws echoed through the air as Luffy dashed forward with blinding speed, his arm steaming as it elongated. Lucci's sharp claws slashed at Luffy, barely missing as Luffy ducked low and threw a punch into Lucci's stomach.

"Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol!" Luffy shouted, his fist colliding with Lucci's body in a split second, sending the CP9 agent skidding back. The blow hit hard, but Lucci didn't flinch much, his Tekkai taking most of the damage. He growled, his feline eyes narrowing as he bared his teeth, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.

"That all you got, Straw Hat?" Lucci snarled, swiping at Luffy again with his claws, his speed increasing as he used Soru to appear right in front of Luffy.

Luffy dodged to the side, his legs kicking off the ground as he used his speed to move behind Lucci. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka!" he yelled, launching both hands into Lucci's back with full force.

The impact was brutal, sending Lucci crashing through the stone pillars behind him. Dust and debris exploded from the impact, but Lucci emerged from the wreckage, bruised but still standing. His body was covered in scratches and blood, but his grin hadn't faltered.

Lucci spat, wiping the blood from his lip as his muscles bulged. He disappeared again with Soru, reappearing above Luffy. "Rankyaku Gaicho!"

Luffy's eyes widened as a massive air blade sliced down toward him. He kicked off the ground with Gear Second, narrowly avoiding the slash that tore the stone floor apart. Lucci landed with a thud, his claws swiping through the air as he tried to catch Luffy off guard.

Luffy jumped back, but not fast enough. Lucci's claws grazed his chest, leaving a bloody gash as Luffy winced in pain. "Damn it!" Luffy cursed, clutching his chest. He wasn't about to let this drag on. He had to finish Lucci off before he ran out of steam.

Without hesitating, Luffy used Gear Second again, steam erupting from his body as he shot forward like a bullet. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling!" Luffy's fists blurred into a frenzy, hammering into Lucci's iron body with relentless force.

Lucci grunted under the barrage, his Tekkai barely holding up as Luffy's fists rained down on him. Each hit cracked through the air, sending shockwaves across the rooftop. But Lucci wasn't going down that easy. He roared, using Soru to escape the onslaught and reappeared behind Luffy, his leg swinging down in a powerful Rankyaku.

The blade of air slammed into Luffy, cutting through his side and drawing more blood. Luffy stumbled, but quickly regained his footing, his eyes burning with determination. "I'm gonna send you flying, Pigeon Bastard!"

Lucci wiped the blood off his lip again, chuckling darkly. "Try it, Straw Hat."

Before Luffy could respond, Lucci dashed forward, using Soru to appear in front of him. "Shigan!" he growled, driving his finger toward Luffy's chest.

Luffy barely managed to twist his body out of the way, but the tip of Lucci's Shigan grazed his arm, leaving a deep puncture wound. Luffy winced but retaliated immediately. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Whip!" His leg snapped out like a whip, slamming into Lucci's side and sending the CP9 agent flying back again.

Lucci crashed into the ground, skidding across the rooftop as blood dripped from his mouth. He growled, pushing himself to his feet as his tail flicked angrily behind him. "You're persistent, I'll give you that," he muttered, cracking his knuckles. "But I'm not done playing."

Luffy didn't respond, his eyes fixed on Lucci as he launched himself forward again, his body blurring with speed. "Gomu Gomu no Jet Stamp!"

Lucci dodged with Soru, reappearing to the side as he delivered a powerful kick to Luffy's ribs. The force of the kick sent Luffy flying into the wall, his back slamming hard against the stone. Luffy groaned, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth as he struggled to get back on his feet.

"You're slowing down," Lucci taunted, advancing toward Luffy with his claws ready to strike. "You can't keep up this pace forever."

Luffy wiped the blood from his mouth, gritting his teeth. "I'm not done yet!"

With another burst of steam, Luffy activated Gear Second again, his body flashing forward as he threw a rapid punch at Lucci's face. Lucci blocked with his arm, but the force of the punch sent him staggering back. Luffy pressed the attack, not giving Lucci a chance to recover.

"Gomu Gomu no Jet Bullet!" Luffy's fist shot forward, slamming into Lucci's gut with a loud thud.

Lucci grunted, blood spurting from his mouth as the impact sent him crashing through the wall. For a moment, everything was still, dust and debris settling around the hole where Lucci had been sent flying. Luffy stood panting, steam rising from his body as he watched the rubble.
