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, 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 extreme. The blow was almost the same as that of Rankyaku.
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. He's already stronger body got even stronger under Tekkai 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!"
