Turning their attention back to Enies Lobby, Zoro, Nami, and Chopper rushed towards the Justice Tower at full speed.
"Quick, quick, stop them!"
"Don't even think about it!"
The Marines at Enies Lobby rushed to block the three of them.
"Don't block my way, you bunch of bastards! Three-Sword Style: Tatsumaki!" Zoro took the lead, and his three swords spun like a tornado, blowing away all the Marines in their path.
"Desert Sword!" Nami, using her powers, turned into an element and rushed into the Marines, effortlessly taking them down with various skills. None of the Marines at Enies Lobby could use Haki, making Nami invincible.
Under Amber's guidance, Chopper learned to master his monster form. In the original story, Chopper only mastered this move two years later. His huge form easily swatted Marines away with the wind driven by his arms.
The three of them advanced rapidly, breaking through the first and second gates. They killed every Marine and giant that tried to block them.
Even the slightly stronger CP9 members were no match for Nami and the others. They knew their captain was desperately holding off a Marine Admiral outside, so they couldn't waste a single second.
As they were about to catch up with Robin, a man wearing a top hat with a dove on his shoulder stood in front of them.
"Who are you?" Zoro asked warily, sensing that this man's aura was completely different.
"CP9, Rob Lucci," Lucci said calmly.
"Nami, Chopper, this man is extraordinary. You go rescue Robin and leave him to me!"
"Understood." Nami and Chopper didn't hesitate. They knew the current situation demanded complete trust in their partners.
Nami and Chopper ran past Lucci, not paying attention to him, while Zoro stared at the man in front of him. His instincts told him this man would be a formidable enemy.
Zoro slowly tied his bandana around his head and drew his three swords.
The two of them took their stances.
"Shigan!" Lucci disappeared instantly and reappeared behind Zoro, aiming a Finger Pistol at him.
"Ding!" Zoro turned and blocked with his sword.
The two launched into a fierce battle, with sword energy and fist power flying everywhere.
"Bang!"
After another exchange, they separated.
Lucci took off his hat and threw it aside.
"Roronoa Zoro, you are indeed strong, but you will lose to me here!"
"A person like you can't stop me," Zoro responded coldly.
"Really?" Lucci sneered, his body transforming, yellow fur appearing, and a tail growing from his back.
"A Devil Fruit?" Zoro frowned.
Lucci disappeared again, darting around Zoro.
"He's much faster than before!"
"Rankyaku!"
Lucci appeared behind Zoro and attacked, but the sound of metal clashing was heard.
Zoro's Haki was still too weak to completely defend, and he received a wound.
Zoro used his sword energy to force Lucci away.
"Is that... Haki? Pirates who have learned Haki before reaching the New World won't leave here alive," Lucci said coldly.
He jumped again, trying to confuse Zoro.
Zoro, however, remained unusually calm.
Calm down! Use Kenbunshoku Haki to sense his movements.
Zoro slowly closed his eyes.
There!
"Ghost Slash!" Zoro aimed at Lucci and struck.
"Ah!" Lucci received two sword cuts on his chest.
"You can actually keep up with my speed! I'm impressed," Lucci sneered.
He accelerated and punched Zoro. Zoro crossed his swords to block the attack.
The two engaged in another fierce battle.
...
Meanwhile, Spandam, who had sent out his last trump card, Rob Lucci, anxiously waited for news.
"Sir, the pirates are still advancing and are about to attack."
"What? Where are the Marine Admirals? Aren't they the strongest in the Marines? Why didn't they stop that group of pirates! And didn't I send CP9 to stop them? Useless, all of them!" Spandam cursed angrily.
"Hahaha, you're doomed. I didn't expect Nico Robin's partners to be this strong! It's awesome!" Franky, tied up nearby, shouted.
"Shut up! Justice will never lose. Escort these two to the Gates of Justice now!" Spandam ordered angrily.
Robin and Franky were escorted towards the Gates of Justice, resisting and delaying as much as they could.
...
Nami and Chopper finally caught up with Robin.
"Quick, stop them!" Spandam ordered the Marines in fear.
"Get out of my way!" Nami shouted, placing his right hand on the ground. Using his ultimate move, "Erosion Reincarnation," he sucked all the water out of the nearby buildings and Marines.
"Roar! Robin!!!" Chopper roared angrily, slapping the surrounding Marines away with his giant palm.
Nami turned into an element, bypassed all the Marines, and confronted Spandam.
"What do you want?" Spandam looked at Nami in horror.
Nami ignored him and kicked Spandam away.
"Robin, are you okay?" Nami asked worriedly.
"I'm sorry, everyone, it's my fault..." Robin apologized with tears streaming down her face.
"Robin, let's talk about it back on the ship. Our captain is facing a Marine Admiral alone. We can't let him down," Nami said with a smile.
"Wow! You guys are amazing, so touching!" Franky was moved to tears beside them.
Nami took the key he had taken from CP9 and unlocked Robin's cuffs.
"Um, who are you?" Nami asked, confused.
"My name is Franky," Franky introduced himself with a strange pose.
"You're the pervert Mr. Iceburg asked us to save, right?" Nami said with a look of disgust.
"Yes, I am a pervert!" Franky proudly admitted.
Nami also unlocked Franky's handcuffs, and they all began to retreat.
...
"Huff... huff..." Zoro panted, covered in scars.
"You'll never escape from Enies Lobby!" Rob Lucci, also covered in wounds, declared.
"Stop talking nonsense. If I can't defeat you, I can't continue sailing the seas. I will never lose!"
"Then face the Six King Gun's ultimate technique." Rob Lucci roared, using his last strength.
Zoro's body gradually took on a ghostly appearance, and an Asura-like shadow emerged.
"Asura: Ichibugin!"
"Ahhh!" The two shouted with all their might.
"Bang!" Ultimately, Rob Lucci was blown away.
Zoro broke through his limits once again.
