The troops were divided into battles, and all the younger brothers were defeated. Only the boss of CP9, Rob Lucci, was still standing strong. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were half cold and half unruly. He had a way of not taking anyone seriously.

arrogant.

This arrogance is exactly the same as that of his opponent Laxus.

However, Laxus' expression besides being arrogant was not ruthless, but rather confused: "Your companions have all been defeated, and you didn't react at all?"

Lu Qi's answer was extremely cold: "The members of CP9 have long been prepared to sacrifice their lives for the mission. Guys who can't complete the mission are just useless trash! Even if they die, I won't frown!

!”

"...You guys are really ruthless!"

Laxus' eyes were slightly cold. He had never liked people who looked down on their companions. "Come on! Let me teach you what is the proper attitude towards your companions!"

"Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."

Lu Qi put his hands in his pockets, and in his calm eyes, there was only the arrogance of "not knowing what an opponent is".

As the most talented genius in the history of CP9, and also the strongest among all CP9s currently, he has enough confidence to defeat the yellow guy opposite him in 5 minutes.

"Is this the Sorcerer?"

"Were you actually defeated by such a guy? Those three losers!!"

I don't know why, but when they heard these words, the three Kagu people who had fallen to the ground felt like they were going to die.

Where does this guy get his confidence from?

Laxus complained secretly in his heart and looked at Lu Qi with a strange look in his eyes.

Finally, Lu Qi moved.

His forward posture was like a cheetah hunting prey, fast and efficient, without any unnecessary movements, and his eyes were fixed on Laxus.

"shave!!"

Different from other people's attacking methods that meandered left and right, Lucci only flashed once and attacked Laxus directly. His right index finger struck out continuously, so fast that it left dozens of afterimages, just like a shot.

A powerful machine gun.

"Finger Gun·Huang Lian!!"

However, Lucci's inhuman speed was nothing to mention to Laxus. The moment he set off, Laxus had already predicted his attack route, turned into lightning and circled behind him, and then pinched

The fist hit Lu Qi's back with an ordinary punch!

"Iron!"

Boom!!

"Ahem——!!"

Even though Lu Qi reacted in time and used the iron block that he had been honing for many years, the fist hit him so much that his stomach juices surged and he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood from his throat.

"This guy..."

At this moment, Lu Qi's eyes when he looked at Laxus had changed. His eyes, which were originally calm and as quiet as a sinking pool, were now filled with the shock of being severely slapped in the face.

It's just a freehand move, but it's faster and more powerful than myself?

It doesn't matter, I haven't really done anything yet!

"It seems that you are not a small character who can be easily solved. No wonder you can be the boss of those people, but..."

boom!!

Laxus didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense and punched out again, this time aiming at Lucci's face.

"Moonstep!!"

Lu Qi jumped into the air with both feet, followed by a series of fierce kicks: "Land Kick Kaidiao!!"

Kai-Niao is a special Arashi Kick extension technique developed by Lu Qi. The bird-shaped slashing wave has a wider range and faster speed, and can easily cut through an iron plate dozens of meters thick.

It's just that no matter how powerful the attack is, it's useless if it can't hit anyone.

Laxus bent his legs, lowered his body slightly, and then jumped up to avoid the slash. At the same time, bright golden lightning burst out from his body, and he used his thick golden right fist to attack again.

Lucci successively used Moon Steps to jump left and right in the air to dodge, but his movements seemed to be seen through. He was always one step ahead of Laxus, and every time he appeared, he was hit in the abdomen by Laxus' fist.

, back or head, after several blows like this, he finally realized that aerial combat was useless, and dodging was even more useless.

So he landed on the ground again, ready to fight down to earth.

Lu Qi was already in a very embarrassed state when he returned to the ground. His black suit, which had been left for a long time but still felt new, had been wrinkled and scorched everywhere by Laxus' lightning.

Fortunately, the pigeon on his shoulder had found a place to hide before the two of them fought, otherwise they would have been able to eat the roasted pigeon now.

"You haven't even fallen down yet, you're quite durable!"

Laxus scoffed, clenching his fists and increasing the power of lightning.

The crackling golden light wrapped around him, causing the long-sleeved cloak without buttons or zippers on his shoulders to sway, but it never clung to his body.

Not taking off his coat during a fight meant that Laxus wasn't serious yet.

Lu Qi couldn't see anyone pretending to be cool in front of him, so he immediately released the power of his Devil Fruit - Cat Fruit and Cheetah Form!

Users with animal devil fruit abilities generally have three forms, namely human form, animal form, and human-animal form. There are basically no exceptions except that Chopper can use the blue wave ball to disrupt the transformation wavelength, thereby strengthening certain aspects of himself.

And because animal-type Devil Fruits have will, those who eat animal-type abilities usually inherit the habits of the corresponding animal, which in turn affects the character of the person with the ability. For example, Lucci's cruelty and ruthlessness have some of the character traits of a cheetah.

I saw that after Lu Qi entered the human-animal form, his whole person suddenly grew bigger. His original height of just over two meters suddenly increased to more than three meters.

The skin on his body turned into yellow skin with black spotted leopard patterns, his ears turned into leopard ears and moved to the top of his head, his limbs turned into long and sharp leopard claws, and a long leopard tail grew out of his back.

"Animal reception?"

A flash of disappointment flashed in Laxus's eyes, and he snorted an undisguised sneer from his nose: "You have accepted the power of a cheetah all this time? I thought you were really going to become Superman!"

It's not that Laxus looked down on animals, it was just that he couldn't imagine how powerful one could become with an extra piece of beast power.

Elfman took over the Beast King, but what happened to his strength? He couldn't even reach the S-level of the guild!

The old man of the Thirteenth Saint can transform into a beast, but what about his strength? He can't survive a few moves under Serena!

Hearing Laxus's ridicule, even though Lu Qi had been trained to be a ruthless killing machine, he couldn't help but feel ignorant and angry: "I will soon show you how powerful the cheetah is.

!”

After saying that, the leopard's claws flashed, plucking the air like strumming strings, and suddenly shot out invisible sharp air blades.

"Flying finger gun, draw!!"

Then it shot out again, leaving a huge explosion in the air.

"razor!!"

This move is a fusion of shaving and moon step. It is faster than shaving and more flexible than moon step. It will also produce sharp tracks when moving. If you accidentally hit it, it will be comparable to experiencing a truck collision.

"Fingergun Madara!!"

Lu Qi raised both hands, leaving dozens of afterimages in the air. With the blessing of his sharp claws, the attack efficiency of the finger gun was maximized. If the 'Huang Lian' just now was a machine gun, then the current '

Madara' is a submachine gun!

Lu Qi, who transformed into a cheetah, was more ferocious in battle than before. His limbs and body cooperated with each other to form a fast forward and fast attack. In just a few seconds, he formed a complete set of offensives from far and near, which seemed to be a battle.

and killing are deeply ingrained in muscle memory.

"The animal-type devil fruit can greatly enhance the physical fitness of the ability user. The human-animal form is the strongest among the three major forms. Coupled with the powerful attack power of the cheetah, my current body, both in strength and speed, is the same as before.

There is a fundamental difference!”

Lucci launched a ruthless attack on Laxus without any mercy, only to find that the opponent was standing there blankly, as if he was so shocked by his attack that he couldn't even move his legs.

"What's wrong? Weren't you very arrogant just now and underestimated my power? Come on, if you think you can take it, just give it a try!! You..."

Before he finished speaking, a fleeting golden light of thunder suddenly appeared on the field. It was Laxus who was wrapped in the power of thunder and lightning. He broke through the air and crossed several meters of space at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

It stopped suddenly above Lu Qi's body, and then a huge fist, harder than steel, slammed down on Lu Qi's head!!

Bah-bang!!!

After a sharp and delicate sound of electricity, there was a huge roar, and the invisible finger gun, the air track, and the afterimage of the arm all disappeared in this roar.

The only thing that could be seen was Lu Qi's yellow and black cheetah head, which was pinned to the ground by Laxus, his eyes turned white and he was coughing up blood from his mouth!

The rough force pressed his head dozens of centimeters underground. Centered on the landing point, the surrounding cement and stone roads cracked crazily in all directions, even spreading to several meters away!

The terrifying force set off a strong wind centered on the location of the two people, blowing sand and rocks on the street, plowing a clean road on the ground outside the cracks, and all the gravel, dust and garbage were swept into one place, saving

It takes half a day's work of a street cleaner.

"What are you barking at? You are so verbose and noisy!!"

Laxus stood up slowly, reached out and patted the long-sleeved coat that was still on his body, sweeping away a light layer of dust. His serious look seemed to be silently mocking Lucci on the ground: "Look.

, I spent more time sorting out my clothes than I spent dealing with you!'

After waiting for a long time and receiving no response, Laxus stopped what he was doing and turned to look down at Lucci.

At this time, Lu Qi's entire head was embedded in the ground, leaving only the body that had lost its cheetah form, still maintaining the inelegant posture of buttocks in the air.
Chapter completed!
