Chapter 202 - Chapter 202 : You Shouldn't Laugh At Luffy

Nami knew Kalifa was no ordinary fighter; she was a master of the Six Powers.

Nami jumped down to follow her. As soon as she hit the ground, she activated her Sube Sube no Mi (Smooth-Smooth Fruit) powers, sliding at high speed toward Kalifa.

"Tempest Kick!" Kalifa swung her legs, but Nami's skin became slick, and the attacks harmlessly glanced off her.

Nami countered with her Clima-Tact, sending several slashing attacks that forced Kalifa to use Paper Arts to dodge. Still, two slashes found their mark on Kalifa's shoulders, drawing blood.

Kalifa groaned, stumbling backward. But before she could recover, Nami struck again. BANG! The impact shell from her Clima-Tact sent Kalifa flying through the air. Kalifa coughed up blood, her delicate appearance and graceful figure now looking disheveled but still strangely alluring.

Fortunately, I'm Nami, she thought. If Sanji were here, this fight would be impossible to win.

"That staff is strange," Kalifa said, wiping blood from her mouth.

"You got it right! As a reward, here's a flash of lightning!" Nami laughed, pointing to a dark cloud she had created directly above them. Kalifa looked up, shocked. How could a storm cloud be forming inside a building?

"Goodbye!" Nami's Clima-Tact released a powerful lightning attack, electrocuting Kalifa until she smelled of burnt meat and fell to the ground, defeated.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, Mayor Iceburg and Paulie were stunned. Paulie, who had just been defeated by Lucci, couldn't believe Usopp was holding his own against him. The Straw Hat Pirates were far stronger than he'd imagined. Paulie was relieved he hadn't made an enemy of them.

Lucci, hearing Kalifa's scream and seeing Nami effortlessly use Moonwalk to reach the second floor, grew grim. Everything was going wrong. Not only was he struggling against a sniper, but the "cat burglar" had defeated a master of the Six Powers.

It felt as if everything was conspiring against CP9. He knew he had to win, or the World Government would erase him. He had to defeat this tengu sniper and secure the Pluton blueprints.

Usopp and Lucci continued their intense battle. Usopp was impressed by Lucci's masterful use of the Six Powers. His Finger Pistol attacks, including "Finger Pistol, Madara" and "Flying Finger Pistol," were incredibly strong. Fortunately, Usopp's Observation Haki allowed him to dodge most of them.

"This Rob Lucci is really something," Usopp thought. "But I'm a sniper. Fighting him up close is a waste of my skills!"

With that, Usopp pulled out his massive slingshot and began firing. Although the confined space limited his flying abilities, he could still move quickly and snipe from close range.

"Hissatsu! Green Star: Big Bang!"

"Hissatsu! Green Star: Exploding Skull Grass!"

"Hissatsu! Green Star: Humanoid Grass!"

He launched a barrage of projectiles. The Exploding Skull Grass filled the room with smoke, obscuring vision and causing damage, while the Humanoid Grass lay in wait, ready to ensnare anyone who came too close.

Lucci was annoyed. He dodged as many attacks as he could, but the strange plants were hard to avoid. However, his immense physical strength meant these attacks didn't seriously injure him.

"Is this all the great Sniper King of the Five Emperors can do? The Straw Hats are a joke, and Luffy is nothing but a third-rate rookie!" Lucci taunted.

Usopp froze. Lucci's insults had hit their mark. Usopp couldn't stand by while his captain and crew were ridiculed. He put away his slingshot, his demeanor changing completely. He pulled two strands of wind from the air, shaping them into a bow, and plucked a feather from his wing to serve as an arrow.

"Rob Lucci, mocking my captain and crew was the worst mistake you could have made. You're just a government lackey who doesn't even know Haki. You think you're strong? You've never seen the monsters of the New World, the devastating power of the Four Emperors and the Admirals. My captain is a man who has fought monsters like Kizaru, Golden Lion, Kaido, and Katakuri. He's not for a weakling like you to mock!"

Usopp pulled back the wind bow, and the feather arrow's tip began to gather a spiraling vortex of wind. As he released his grip, the arrow vanished with a bang, too fast for the naked eye to see. Lucci instinctively flinched, but it was too late. The arrow pierced straight through his abdomen.

BOOM! The projectile continued its path, blasting a hole through the wall and several houses outside.

"It's a shame. If you hadn't insulted Luffy, I would have enjoyed a real fight. You probably still had more tricks up your sleeve. But you asked for this," Usopp said to himself.

Lucci stared down at the fist-sized hole in his stomach, blood gushing out. A wave of dizziness washed over him, and he collapsed to the floor. In his final moments of consciousness, he realized the fool was him. The sniper had been holding back, just to test his skills. If a sniper was this strong, what kind of terrifying monster was the Straw Hat Captain?
