Chapter 1623 Lucci with 3 Heads and 6 Arms
Upon hearing the shopkeeper's wicked suggestion, Lucci's six eyes, burning with fighting spirit, lit up simultaneously on his three heads.
The instincts of a combat genius and hunter deep within him were completely ignited.
Not only did he not want to refuse, but he also felt a long-lost urge to have a good, intense battle.
"Kaku, you should join us too. It'll be a good opportunity to test your Mosasaurus Fruit!"
This proposal made the situation even more bizarre, with World Government agents actually inviting pirates to join forces and attack their own people who had just gained the power of a Mythical Zoan.
But faced with the allure of absolute power and the thirst for battle, the boundaries between factions seem to become blurred.
Upon hearing this, Kaku's face lit up with an eager smile, feeling the faint resonance of the Mosasaurus power within him in the battle. "Just what I wanted, Lucci!"
Kidd held the helmet, pursed his lips, and didn't move.
In this godforsaken place, he can't gain any advantage with magnetism. The lack of metallic elements severely limits his abilities. He should go up and engage in close combat.
He glanced at the twenty-meter-tall, three-headed, six-armed giant, then at his own remaining arm, and wisely chose to remain a bystander.
Hawkins clutched the tarot deck tightly, huddled in a more distant corner, and watched everything warily.
Luffy's reaction was completely different. When he saw the three-headed, six-armed giant with a terrifying aura, he was not afraid at all. Instead, his eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit.
"Then I'll test you and see just how strong you really are." Fighting against this big, imposing guy was what got his blood pumping the most.
Capone Becky, atop that enormous head, needed data to test the limits of that eerie telepathic ability.
The legs, which appeared unusually short and weak due to the large head, began to swell, with tangible bricks and stones adding to their size.
In the blink of an eye, a pair of strong, powerful, and well-proportioned new rock legs grew out, firmly supporting his enormous head.
"bring it on!"
"Challenge me!"
"I accept the fight!"
Lu Qi's three heads spoke simultaneously, their fighting spirit boiling, and their six arms waved in the air, like a demon god descending, taking the initiative to challenge him.
"I'll go first," Luffy laughed, crouching slightly and tensing his leg muscles.
Martial energy surged within his body, lifting him off the ground. He stepped into the void like an arrow released from a bow, charging towards the giant.
"Watch the punch!"
While Luffy was in mid-air, his right arm was stretched back to its limit. The elasticity of rubber and martial arts energy instantly wrapped around it, turning into a simple, brutal, and powerful straight punch that slammed into Lucci's face.
Lu Qi neither dodged nor evaded; his two thickest right arms, like heavy door panels, were crossed in front of him to protect him.
A dull, drum-like impact resounded, and the shockwave spread outwards from the point of impact. Luffy's rubber fist slammed solidly into Lucci's crossed arms as he blocked.
The giant's arm was visibly dented, and the dark red keratinous skin cracked, revealing an even deeper red underneath. The enormous impact caused Lucci's twenty-meter-tall body to lean back slightly by half a step.
"You're pretty tough!" Luffy's eyes shone even brighter. Using the momentum, he did a nimble backflip in the air, shook his slightly numb fist, and shouted excitedly.
“Not bad strength, pirate,” Lucci’s middle head uttered in a deep voice. The flesh and blood on the dents and cracks on his arm writhed rapidly and recovered in the blink of an eye, revealing the terrifying regenerative power of the Mythical Zoan species.
"It's not over yet!"
The next moment, countless fist shadows appeared out of thin air like a storm.
Thousands upon thousands of fist imprints, imbued with martial arts energy, bombarded Lucci's massive body. This was Luffy's high-speed, chaotic attack, combining the properties of the Gum-Gum Fruit with martial arts techniques.
"Well done!"
Lu Qi's six eyes flashed with a sharp light, and all six arms moved simultaneously, no longer simply blocking, but attacking against attack.
With his left three arms swinging out heavy, hammer-like hooks and his right three arms striking out swift, swift jabs, his six arms danced, forming an impenetrable wall of fists in front of him, each punch precisely meeting the incoming rubber fist shadow.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-!!!"
A continuous series of sonic booms, breaking the sound barrier, filled the air, which was being violently compressed, creating countless chaotic shockwaves.
Their fists collided thousands of times in the negative fifteen minutes.
Lucci could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in Luffy's seemingly small fist.
Often, just two punches are enough to break the bones and rupture the tendons in his incredibly hard arms. This straw hat kid's strength is now more than one level higher than when he first set sail!
However, the advantages of the Hundred-Armed Giant's mythical beast species were now fully revealed: its super strong defense, terrifying strength, and almost bug-like regenerative ability.
The moment the arm was broken, the flesh and bones began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye. Faint red steam even wafted from the broken wound. The recovery speed was astonishing. Theoretically, it would only stop regenerating if a hundred arms were shattered at the same time.
Thanks to his abnormal regenerative abilities and the advantage in attack density and defensive range brought by his six arms, Lucci was able to temporarily fight Luffy, who was in his burst state, to a standstill.
Luffy, who had exchanged at least a thousand punches, realized that his dense attacks were not effective, so he suddenly withdrew his fists and retreated, hovering in mid-air and panting slightly.
The playful expression on his face faded considerably, replaced by a serious scrutiny.
Luffy rubbed his wrist. "Interesting. Looks like I won't be able to take you down without using my real skills."
“Let me try,” Capone Becky’s deep voice echoed in everyone’s minds.
On his enormous head, between his brows, invisible ripples seemed to be violently rippling. His brain began to work frantically, and his mental energy, like invisible tentacles, pierced fiercely into Lucci's massive body with three heads and six arms.
In less than a minute of intrusion, the light in the eyes of the head on the left side of Lucci quickly dimmed, replaced by an empty gray-white.
The two left arms, directly controlled by the left head, suddenly and without warning defied Lucci's will, violently swung their fists and slammed them hard against the middle and right heads.
Fortunately, Lu Qi was prepared. The two right arms controlled by the middle head shot out like lightning and grabbed the left arm that was about to smash into him. The left arm controlled by the right head also blocked the attack of the other traitorous arm in time.
The four arms wrestled in mid-air, the traitorous arm struggling frantically, trying to complete the attack, while Lucci's main will suppressed it with all its might.
This kind of bizarre manipulation at the mental level is impossible to guard against and is ten times more disgusting than a direct physical fight. He can now finally deeply understand the humiliation and helplessness he felt when Kaku was being manipulated before.
Capone Becky's mental power did not stop after he had initially taken control of a head and two arms.
As he continued to try to break through, the spirits of his other two heads were eroding deeper into Lucci's core consciousness.
"This guy's ability is truly despicable," Lucci probably guessed that he wouldn't have long before he lost control of his second head.
