Chapter 116: Fierce Battle, Zoro VS Lucci!
"Xiao Lian, amazing!!" Akame used Silent Shunpo to arrive in front of Xiao Lian, sighing with admiration.
"A dignified eight-foot steel man, couldn't withstand a light touch from you!"
"Akame created the opportunity for me, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for my sneak attack to succeed!! My stamina is almost gone, I'll go back and rest first, Sheele's side depends on you!" Xiao Lian said.
"Okay!!" Akame nodded.
Just as Akame was no match for Kaku.
Sheele was also no match for Blueno.
However, Sheele had an advantage Akame didn't.
That is, after using the Kilo Kilo Fruit to lighten her weight, Sheele was faster than Akame.
Moreover, Blueno's strength was far from as strong as Kaku's.
Therefore, Sheele dealing with Blueno wasn't like Akame, constantly being suppressed and beaten.
If no one helped Akame.
Estimated she wouldn't last long before being defeated.
Although Sheele was suppressed by Blueno.
But she wasn't suppressed to the point of breathless.
Occasionally able to counterattack, she wouldn't be taken down by Blueno so easily.
Xiao Lian ignored Kalifa and Kaku.
Dragging her exhausted body back to Lister and the others.
"Xiao Lian, well done!" Lister praised Xiao Lian immediately.
"Eat something, replenish your stamina!"
"Aye!!" Hearing Lister's praise, Xiao Lian instantly squinted her eyes happily.
Then, stuffed a piece of fruit into her small mouth.
On the other side!
Lucci and Blueno also discovered that Kaku was taken down by Xiao Lian.
For a moment, they were greatly shaken.
"That woman's methods are truly bizarre!"
"If I were hit by a palm, I reckon I couldn't withstand it either!"
"However, fortunately, she was heavily injured by Kaku, consumed a lot, and exited the stage!!"
Almost the common thought in Lucci and Blueno's hearts.
From this, it can be seen.
They were very wary of Xiao Lian.
Seeing Xiao Lian exit, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sheele, I'm here to help you!!"
After Xiao Lian exited, Akame immediately rushed towards Sheele's side.
Swung a strike at Blueno from afar.
An azure blue slash flew rapidly towards Blueno.
"Soru!!"
Blueno could tell Akame's slash was very sharp.
Didn't use his specialty Tekkai to block hard.
Used Soru of the Rokushiki.
Calmly dodged Akame's attack.
At this time.
Sheele rushed towards him rapidly.
Swung the large machete in her hand to chop at Blueno.
Blueno had fought Sheele for a while.
Roughly understood Sheele's attack power.
Sheele's attack power was strong, correct.
But, unfortunately.
She hadn't comprehended the profound meaning of cutting steel.
So, Blueno wasn't afraid of her attacks at all.
Stood there directly, using Tekkai to resist Sheele's attack.
"Tekkai: Steel!!"
If Kaku focused on developing Rankyaku among the Marine Rokushiki.
Then Blueno focused on developing Tekkai.
He had a mystifying confidence in his defense.
In fact, he was indeed quite formidable.
Sheele's machete slashed onto Blueno's body, emitting a dull loud noise directly.
Although Blueno was chopped back more than ten steps by Sheele.
However, Tekkai was still not broken.
"This guy is really hard!!" Watching this scene, Sheele couldn't help but complain.
This wasn't the first time this guy used Tekkai to block her attack.
So far, she hadn't been able to break Blueno's Tekkai.
"Sheele, I'll take the main attack, you support me!"
Akame shouted loudly.
"Okay!" Sheele responded.
She didn't worship one-on-one combat like Zoro.
Nor did she have the mindset of dominating.
As long as the opponent could be defeated.
Any way was fine.
"Tekkai? I'd like to see if your body is really as hard as iron! Even if your body is really as hard as iron, I can still break it!"
A few days ago, Akame successfully comprehended the profound meaning of cutting steel.
So, even if Blueno's Tekkai was strong, she was still very confident in her attack.
Saying that.
The two girls coordinated quickly.
Attacking Blueno from left and right.
Sheele's task was to restrict Blueno's movements, making him unable to attend to both head and tail.
Akame's task was to break Blueno's defense, injure and heavily damage Blueno.
Under the tacit siege of the two.
Blueno began to retreat steadily.
At this time.
He realized that continuing the fight would only lead to defeat.
For a moment, thoughts of retreat sprouted in his heart.
Therefore, in the subsequent battle, he deliberately widened the distance with Akame and Sheele, preparing to use the Door-Door Fruit to escape.
However, in an instant, Lister, who had been watching the play all along, suddenly moved.
Speed fast as teleportation.
Appeared directly in front of Blueno.
Startled Blueno.
Then, before he could react.
Lister grabbed his clothes, pulled him forward, then delivered a knee strike, ruthlessly hitting Blueno's abdomen.
Hitting Blueno until he almost vomited bile.
Then, a hand chop struck ruthlessly on the back of Blueno's neck.
Knocking him completely unconscious.
Just like when Lucci took down Iceburg before...
"Lord Captain? Why did you suddenly act??" Akame stopped and asked somewhat puzzledly.
"He's the Door-Door Fruit user, crucial to my Money Pirates, absolutely cannot let him escape!" Lister smiled at Akame.
"So that's it!" Akame and Sheele realized.
Subsequently, Lister carried Blueno in one hand, Akame carried Kaku, and Sheele carried Kalifa back.
With this, of the four CP9 organization members, only Lucci remained persisting.
If.
The other three battle groups had somewhat comedic scenes.
Then the battle between Zoro and Lucci was fierce throughout, with no dull moments.
Zoro's swordsmanship was sharp.
Lucci's Taijutsu was stronger.
Zoro was assisted by dual Haki.
Lucci was a leopard fruit user; speed, reaction, and explosive power were all very powerful.
Even though Zoro went all out, he couldn't take down Lucci for a while.
Although, in the exchange just now, Lucci was cut several times by Zoro.
But Lucci possessed the Rokushiki secret technique Seimei Kikan (Life Return).
Could accelerate wound healing, and also allow him to maintain peak condition.
Zoro was also hit several times by Lucci.
Even his Busoshoku hardening was forcefully dispersed by Lucci, heavily injuring his body.
Therefore.
In the current situation.
Both sides were evenly matched, half a pound against eight ounces.
Couldn't tell who would win this battle.
Within a hundred meters radius around the two, sword energy crisscrossed, shockwaves flew wildly.
The ground was left full of sword marks and cracks.
Most of the sword marks were left by Zoro.
But some were kicked out by Lucci using Rankyaku.
The remaining cracks were shattered by Lucci's powerful impact force.
"Captain of the Guard Zoro's battle with this CP9 is so fierce!!"
Everyone watched, Zoro and Lucci sometimes approaching for frantic slaughter, sometimes using flying attacks to bombard each other, sometimes using speed to move rapidly and engage.
For a time, they couldn't help but marvel!
"Lucci is the strongest genius in CP9 history! At fifteen, he could single-handedly clear a country, simultaneously wiping out a country's rebel army and government army, killing the king. Although Zoro awakened dual Haki, taking down Lucci isn't that simple!" Lister explained.
"Strongest genius in CP9 history?? Looking at his performance, he deserves it!"
Everyone watched Lucci's fierce performance.
Even Zoro couldn't suppress him.
They felt the name was somewhat justified.
