Kumadori and Chopper clashed a multiple times and his Tekkai was finally giving away as Chopper was too huge and had too much strength in his paw. And the last was fight between Luffy and Lucci.

At first, Luffy was fighting normally against Lucci. There weren't any fancy moves, and even though Lucci had transformed into half-beast form, he wasn't giving his all to the fight. Ken was a little confused about this, as he remembered Lucci being a badass both now and in the future.

Though Ken really hated him, that didn't mean he couldn't acknowledge the strength and determination of the others. Lucci and Luffy fought and exchanged moves, but soon Ken noticed a very odd thing. The more they fought, the more Lucci was coming close to the place where Ken and others were viewing the whole arena fight that was happening.

Soon after a couple of minutes of fighting, Lucci and Luffy came way too close, so much so that Paulie and others had to move back due to the impact their moves had on the surrounding area. And suddenly, out of nowhere, Lucci turned away from Luffy and jumped at Robin.

Lucci used both Soru and Moonwalk to eliminate the distance between them in the fastest way possible. His claws were full as he came close to Robin and went straight for her neck. Lucci had a smile on his face as he seemed to finally get a win over his opponents. Lucci was way too busy for Robin to see what was going on.

But sadly, Lucci didn't get satisfaction in the end. His hands and his body stopped just before he was inches away from Robin's body. And he had stopped in midair itself. He was appalled.

With extreme force, he turned his head only to look at Ken, who was holding his hand high and had the palm pointed in his direction.

"Rob Lucci... You are more devious than I thought. Just because you knew you couldn't get her, you wanted to kill her." Ken said. He had used his Rinnegan to stop Lucci at the end. It was quite visible at the end of what he was going to do.

"Bast..rds." Lucci spewed through his teeth. Meanwhile, Luffy also came forward.

"Luffy, you got lax a bit."

"No. I knew he was going for Robin, but you were there, so I didn't bother." Luffy replied. Ken believed him because both had observation haki, so it was impossible for Lucci to just escape. Ken said after stopping Lucci in mid-air.

"Shinra Tensei."

With that move, the leopard-looking Lucci was thrown away, just like how the bullets were deflected at the end. Lucci flew out and struck one of the pillars of the station. The pillar got destroyed, but the body didn't stop, and at the end, he struck one of the coaches. The metal train coach was bent to a very weird angle in order to stop Lucci's body.

Paulie and the others who looked at what had happened had their jaws drop, and so did the Franky family as they followed the clues when they searched for Franky after he was kidnapped. Seeing Lucci manhandled like it was nothing made them thank their stars for actually not pushing their luck when they went to rob the Straw Hats. I'm glad that it was Nami who took action, or else it would have been a different story.

But of course, Lucci wasn't done yet. He was rattled for sure, but he was back on his feet in no time. Luffy and Ken both saw it, and Ken wanted to teach this guy a lesson. But as Ken got up, Luffy stopped him and said,

"Let me handle this. You have done a lot. I wanted to try new moves." Luffy said as he took a staff and again came on level ground with Lucci.

"Straw Hat Luffy."

"Pigeon guy."

"You are making a grave mistake by going against us," Lucci said.

"I don't care if I made a mistake. I don't care who you represent. The only thing I know is that you tried to hurt my friend and tried to take away the man who could repair our Merry." Luffy said. Luffy then proceeded to bend his knees a bit and touch the ground with his knuckles.

"Gear Second."

Ken's eyes were wide, looking at Luffy. He didn't really expect Luffy to come full circle with this move of his. Gear Second was learned because Luffy didn't have enough speed and strength while he was fighting in the actual story, but here he had the speed of a ninja to compensate for that and even Jin Mori's powers.

But Ken had forgotten one thing. He might have the powers of Jin Mori and Hiruzen, but that didn't mean he would give up on his own uniqueness. He was a free guy, so of course he would want to be free from any shackles. Even the character's power wasn't enough to shackle his thoughts.

Everyone around Luffy saw the change and was curious what it was, and Luffy gave them an answer almost immediately.

He vanished from the place, and before Lucci could figure out what was happening, he was punched in the face from the side, which again threw him. Luffy's now was way too fast for the actual story. He was faster, better, and more powerful now. Ken was a little uncomfortable, but when he used his Sharingan to see if he was suffering due to over-pumping of his blood, he was surprised that there were no side effects.

His chakra flow was normal, and only his blood flow was fast, but his body wasn't suffering like in the actual story. This was a huge relief for Ken. It meant that Luffy didn't have any side effects.

Lucci was thrashed a little more times before Luffy stopped as he allowed Lucci to get up.

"It's over for you." Luffy said.
