boom!
In the aftermath, a roar echoed, and the dust in the center swept away, and Ross was seen standing there, motionless, with only spider web-like cracks appearing on the ground under his feet.
Opposite Ross, Lu Qi failed to stabilize his body and flew backwards, crashing through one building with a bang and smashing into the second building.
"Blocked... Lu Qi's Six Kings Spear?!"
"How can it be."
Seeing this scene, Kaku and others' pupils almost contracted violently, and their expressions were slightly sluggish. Looking at the intensity of the battle between Ross and Lu Qi before, Lu Qi released the Six Kings Spear, there shouldn't be such a big gap. !
The spine smashed into one building, and Lu Qi, who crashed into the second building, vomited out a mouthful of blood, walked to the broken wall with difficulty, and looked at the location of Ross.
He couldn't understand.
How could Rhodes' power increase so much all of a sudden? When he used his Lan Kick before, it was only slightly inferior. He just released the Six Kings Spear, intending to fight with Rhodes to create an opportunity and take advantage of the situation to end this. A battle.
Unexpectedly, he fought with Ross with all his strength, but he was the loser!
"You... didn't use all your strength before..."
Lu Qi's face became extremely depressed and gloomy, looking at Ross standing on the shattered street.
To deal with a character like Lucci who is faster than himself, Ross's battle plan is very simple, that is to attack him with ordinary punches first, and then use the ability of the twisted fruit to create a situation where Lucci cannot use his speed to avoid, and thunder breaks out. With one blow, he was severely injured.
"That's right."
"The victory has been decided."
Ross looked at Lu Qi calmly. The moment he finished speaking, his figure flickered and turned into an afterimage, rushing towards Lu Qi's position.
Lu Qi's body was attacked by the twisting force. Even though the impact of the Six Kings Spear was used to offset most of it, and his body was extremely strong, he still suffered serious injuries.
Especially under the influence of the distortion force, he was unable to use the iron block. When he flew backwards, his back smashed into a building, and the impact injury was extremely serious.
"no solution anymore."
Feeling the injuries on his body, Lu Qi knew that even if he used his speed to avoid it, he would definitely lose if he continued to drag it on. He took a deep breath, with a hint of determination in his eyes, and did not choose to dodge, but stacked his fists again.
Use the ability to return life to forcefully suppress the injuries in your body.
"It's okay if you don't plan to continue dragging it out."
Seeing this scene, Ross's eyes were calm, and he clenched his five fingers into a fist. The twisted power in his body was once again fully stimulated by him, and all gathered on his fist. The air around his fist vaguely showed a twisted shape.
Twisted Fist!
At the same time, Lu Qi also took action decisively. He ignored his injuries and concentrated all his strength on one point.
This is Lu Qi's most powerful attack. Although it was performed in a state of almost serious injury, due to the ability to return life, the power is almost the same as that performed in the prime state.
"The Secret of the Six Styles... The Biggest Wheel, the Six Kings Spear!"
boom!
Lu Qi's all-out blow and Ross's serious punch collided violently, and time seemed to be frozen in this moment.
The impact of this blow was far greater than the eight punches of Lao Cai of the Babao Navy that Rhodes encountered before. It exploded crazily, like an extremely tough bullet, trying to forcefully break through the blockade of twisted power. , pierced into Ross's body.
but.
Ross's twisting power was under his control and was completely concentrated at one point. It was constantly conflicting with the impact of the Six Kings Spear. Lu Qi's Six Kings Spear was still unable to compete with Ross's full twisting power. The stalemate only lasted for a second before it completely collapsed.
Wow!
The aftermath of the collapse of the Six Kings Spear and the Power of Distortion completely destroyed the upper part of the building where Ross and Lu Qi were in almost an instant, and then spread all the way down, completely destroying the entire building and exploding it. It shattered into countless scattered rubble.
Lu Qi's figure flew backwards amid the splash of gravel, smashing three buildings in a row and hitting the ground hard. Blood gushed out from his mouth. He could no longer maintain the form of the Leopard Man and returned to normal. human form.
Kaku and others had no time to support, or even if they supported, it was ineffective. They could only watch as Lu Qi was completely defeated in the final blow with Ross!
"Lucci...did you lose?!"
"How could this happen? That person's strength can't even be defeated by Lu Qi?!"
Kaku and others made countless judgments before taking action, and even judged that Lu Qi would be at a disadvantage. After all, the opponent was the person who killed the Shichibukai.
But.
No one thought that Lu Qi would be defeated so quickly. The seemingly stalemate battle was completely decided in an instant, and there was no chance of recovery!
There was silence.
There was dead silence.
Lu Qi's defeat, and such a rapid defeat, was a point that they had not considered and made no preparations for. If they could have imagined this situation, it would not be them, but the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Or CP0.
Above the collapsed building, Ross floated in mid-air, as if unaffected by gravity. After calmly glancing at Lu Qi, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he turned to look at Kaku and others.
This sight made Kaku and others feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Crap!
…
On the ruined streets.
Lu Qi, Kaku, Gabra and many other members of CP9 were lying on the floor, all unconscious and seriously injured.
After Lu Qi lost to Ross, the outcome of this battle could no longer be reversed. After learning about the situation, Spangdam, who had been staying on the ship, abandoned Lu Qi and others without hesitation and directly ordered his subordinates to start the battle. The ship left and even gave up going ashore to inquire about the detailed battle situation.
"Is it difficult to be deeply hypnotized?"
Looking at the CP9 members lying on the floor, Ross asked Lafitte.
Regardless of CP9's combat capabilities, there is no doubt about its intelligence gathering ability. If many members of CP9 can be conquered to form a peripheral intelligence network for the Ghost Hand Pirates, then he and Robin will not be needed to collect intelligence in the future. People took the trouble to find out.
"They should be selected at a very young age and trained and brainwashed until they officially join the government's intelligence agencies. It is very difficult to deeply hypnotize them."
Lafitte showed a helpless expression. Even with his ability, it was difficult to brainwash members of organizations like CP9. Even the weakest ones would find it difficult to do so.
"Are you extremely loyal to the government..."
Ross looked at the CP9 members lying on the floor with a look of thought, and suddenly asked: "What if this loyalty collapses? Is there the possibility of deep hypnosis?"
Lafitte thought for a while and said, "That way I can give it a try and be certain."
Ross nodded and said: "That's it..."
Robin asked, "What are you going to do?"
She could see that Rhodes was planning to conquer CP9, but it was not that easy for such government secret intelligence agents to betray the government.
There was a smile on Ross's face, as if he had everything in hand.
"do nothing… "
"Once the intelligence agents who know too much are defeated, from the perspective of the world government, there is a high possibility that they will choose to obliterate their existence."
"In addition, the commander of CP9 is a loser. He will be jealous and shift all the responsibility for the failure of this operation to these people."
Hearing Ross's words, a flash of realization flashed in Robin's eyes, "I see, no wonder you let the government ship leave here."
She didn't know how Ross knew the situation of the CP9 commander, but since Ross said so, it was probably not wrong. Ross always knew something that he shouldn't know.
If he didn't get along day and night and saw no signs of contact between Rhodes and other people, Robin would even wonder whether Rhodes was still in contact with some top intelligence agency outside.
