Chapter 32 - The shadow of Aghata part 3

Katahara and Augur were in a hotel, which they found in the evening.

While Katahara was meditating he had an idea.

And if I make that fool loyal with That, it will be of great help in the future, Katahara thought.

A short time later dawn broke, then Katahara stopped meditating and left his room, and went in the direction of his ship together with Augur.

As he walked through the streets he noticed that he was being watched by a tall man with horned hair.

Augur had also noticed this and prepared his Senriku to start shooting.

Katahara: Relax Augur this is part of my plans.

Augur then relaxed and put his gun on his shoulder and kept walking, while Katahara lit a cigarette.

A few hours passed by when they arrived at the ship where everyone was having breakfast, then Augur and Katahara joined them.

Katahara: Tell me Robin, were you able to find the book you were looking for?

Nico Robin: That's right captain, I found a very funny book about the history of Water 7.

Katahara: That's good, that's good my dear Robin.

Laffitte: Captain, I realized that...

Katahara: Laffitte once the giants' boat is ready, you will take it to the Little Garden.

Laffitte then understood what was going on.

Laffitte: It will be a pleasure captain.

Katahara: Good, then we just have to wait for our new ship to be finished.

Dabi: Captain Amahiro communicated today morning, he said that the first prototype of D5 gunboat is finished and they are testing it, also the coasting cutter was finished successfully.

Katahara: That's faster than I had imagined... How is the training of the soldiers.

Dabi: He said that some of them can already use some skills, he also reported that Urouge departed a week ago.

Katahara: That's good, that's really good, tell him that he is doing excellently, also tell him that he must put effort in the handling of his fruit.

Dabi: As you command captain.

Then Katahara went to the top of the mast where he began to meditate, he was like that during the whole day until it got dark.

During the night an explosion was heard in a part of the city, then Katahara opened his eyes.

Katahara: So they were already on the move....

At that moment Augur appeared.

Van Augur: Captain, someone is attacking us.

Katahara: We are on our way Augur.

After saying that the two disappeared.

With Nico Robin and Dabi who were in the city sightseeing.

Nico Robin: It's starting to get dark let's go back.

Dabi: Yes, it's time for us to go back, maybe we'll be there soon.

After walking for a few minutes, 3 people appeared from a dark alley.

Man: Nico Robin, for crimes committed you are under arrest.

When Nico Robin saw them, he started to tremble greatly.

Dabi: And you are?

Man: A dead man doesn't need to know.

Dabi: Funny you should say that...

Then one of the men lunged at Dabi and used Shigan, to hit Dabi's head, which was met with a fist engulfed in flames.

The man was able to use Tekkai in time to protect himself from Dabi's blow.

The 3 men were Rob Lucci, the one who attacked Dabi was Kaku and the last one was Blueno.

At the moment Kaku was hit by Dabi, Laffitte appeared from Blueno's shadow, while holding his Shikomizue on Blueno's neck.

Drust appeared behind Robin and grabbed his shoulder.

Drust: Don't worry Robin, they won't be able to take you with them, not with us here.

Blueno began to fight at close range with Laffitte who repelled all his blows in a calm manner.

While Rob Lucci threw himself against Dabi, who made a small barrier of fire between them, which Rob Lucci crossed easily throwing a kick at an incredibly high speed and force sending a sharp blade of wind.

At that moment Dabi launched a controlled flame of fire that easily went through the wind blade, reaching Rob Lucci who used Soru to dodge it.

Dabi: As you were saying, that you would arrest Robin, I don't see that happening.

Kaku on the other hand was facing a Drust who was avoiding close combat with his poison, and only sending out wind blades with his kicks.

Kaku had no way to get close to Drust, let alone Robin, who was behind Drust.

Kaku then started using Soru to appear and disappear near the fog surrounding Drust, until he could get close enough to Drust.

Using Shigan on Drust, but what he didn't expect was that Drust jumped back the moment Kaku reached Drust.

Drust then threw poison at Kaku, causing him to use soru and disappear and reappear meters behind.

Drust: I didn't expect this guy to be this strong, maybe I should think about using some kind of weapon.

While Laffitte and Blueno, the latter was being overpowered by Laffitte who began to inflict small cuts on Blueno.

Blueno would have a door in the nothingness to enter and appear in another completely different place, what he did not expect was that Laffitte was even more lethal doing the same thing, but in a more efficient way.

Laffitte: Drust can't seem to keep up in a melee battle.

At that moment Dabi was throwing small flares at Rob Lucci who was just dodging all the attacks, until he saw the opportunity to get close to Nico Robin.

But before he could reach Nico Robin, Dabi launched a huge wall of fire causing a huge explosion.

Causing Rob Lucci to stop on the spot, to turn and look at Dabi.

At that moment Rob Lucci was furious with Dabi so he rushed at full speed to use Rokuogan.

He held his two fists at close range and launched an explosion powerful enough to make even Dabi feel the blow, sending him flying meters back.

He then launched himself at full speed at Nico Robin, but while he was only inches away from Nico Robin, Rob Lucci's head was hit by a powerful blow causing it to create a small crater in the ground.

Katahara had arrived just in time to save Nico Robin.

Nico Robin: Captain.

Katahara: Are you all right... you have some injuries.

Nico Robin: I'm fine, they didn't let anything happen to me.

Katahara reached out her hand to Robin's face and touched the side of his right cheek slowly and gently.

At that moment Rob Lucci appeared on Katahara's sword ready to use Shigan on her head.

*BAM*

But he was stopped by a shot from Augur and then hit by a flame from Dabi.

At that moment Katahara turned around and looked at the whole scenario.

And realized that only Drust was having trouble with Kaku.

Katahara: Subdue those 2.

Dabi and Augur just nodded and went to support their comrades.

Katahara: If you want to win, you'll have to be stronger than that, Rob Lucci.
