With no other indication, Luffy jumped on the CP agents, followed by others. Seeing the response of the Straw Hats, the CP agents proceeded to kill their hostage in the split second that they had gotten themselves. The World Government was desperate to get Nico Robin and the Pluton plans from Franky, but that didn't mean that they would jeopardize leaving them alive and free. Nico Robin had slipped from their fingers for quite a long time.
But not anymore. The CP agents pointed their fingers at their brains and proceeded to use the Shigan (finger pistol) to kill them, but this is where they got the surprise of their lives. Suddenly, out of nowhere, they felt pressure being washed upon them. A pressure that was unique to only a few in the world.
Conqueror's Haki. And that split-second hesitation was enough for the straw hats to land their moves on the CP agents.
"Grow: Nyoibo"
"Yōkatotsu." (Sunflower Thrust)
"Diable Jambe: Bian Kyui: Guriru Shotto" (Bien Cuit: Grill Shot)
Ussop and Nami used their own moves to shoot at the other CP agents. Each of the moves landed on the enemies so fast that the CP agents didn't have time to recover from their surprise at the Conqueror's haki. Luffy's staff grew in length at a speed that couldn't be explained by science and hit the CP agent that was holding Vivi. Meanwhile, Vivi helped too, as she suddenly grew spikes from multiple angles.
The CP agent, though enhanced by Tekkai, still had to move from his place, and this was enough. The staff of Luffy hit the CP agent, and Luffy himself used body flicker jutsu to hit the CP agent close to Robin.
Sanji used a precise shot to hit the agent behind Nico Robin. She too used her stand at the exact same moment to hit the agent. Though the physical power of her stand wasn't up to par, it was still invisible and distracted the agent enough to help Sanji land a solo hit.
Zoro went for the person behind Iceburg, and he used a special style of sun breathing that was meant for a single thrust. This move was so deadly that once it entered the flesh of a person, it would destroy the flesh around it. It was something like Internal Destruction of Armament Haki. In addition, this move was accompanied by intense speed and agility.

Franky himself had a very tough body, and he was trying to free himself. Nami's avatar mode powered air bending, and the arrow of Ussop was enough to send away the CP agent behind Franky. The CP agent behind Franky in fact had to dodge the move of Ussop in order to be safe, as he felt an instinctual fear from it.
And Ken?
Well, Ken did the most outrageous thing. He brought down lightning from the heavens on all the CP agents at the same time. After being freed from the captive, it was time for the attack. Ken chose two CP agents, went with both of his weapons, and proceeded to use both lightning and haki.
Luffy used his staff and gear to take down two agents. Sanji and Zoro did the same, taking two agents. Nami and Ussop took one each and started engaging in a fight.
It had to be mentioned that Zoro was using his three swords for the first time in his fight. Normally it was only one sword due to his breathing, and two swords was a very recent occurrence, but now he was somehow able to use three breaths simultaneously. He put the lightning sword in between his teeth and the other two swords on his hands.
He was able to stack the breathing forms too. He used it for lightning breathing and sun breathing, and it gave him immense speed, almost reaching the speed of Sanji. And Beast's breathing was able to make sure that his agility didn't suffer. It was a nightmare for the CP agents as he used weird moves on them, and the use of haki wasn't a good sign to them because they weren't versed in that at all.
Ken was also a menace, as he beat the agent up after taking him under genjutsu for a second and then proceeded to hit him with haki with a barrage of punches. The agent was a zoan fruit user in rabbit form, but his hooping skills didn't help at all as he beat up the CP agent. The other CP agent who was going to save his colleague stopped and looked at Ken in horror. He never expected that Ken would be so brutal, breaking the leg bones of the half-rabbit into pulp.
He now understood why the government had named him the Punisher. It was an apt name for him. The CP agent took a few steps back as he looked at Ken, who slowly got up after beating him and then looked at the agent. Ken didn't go after the agent immediately.
It was because it was this guy who had the den den mushi with Marijoa. Meanwhile, the lower dock of the Water 7 was in ruins. More damage than the Aqua Laguna could ever imagine inflicting. The battlefield was in shambles with craters, fire burning in various rubbles, wind blowing at full intensity, and vanishing-teleporting silhouettes in multiple places. Iceburg and Franky looked at the straw hats in awe. Iceberg felt glad that he had trusted the Straw Hats at the last moment and took down Buster Call and now the CP agents too.
Vivi and Robin were the spectators at the moment, while Chopper had turned into a gorilla and was fiercely standing in front of Robin and Vivi in the fear that another CP agent would come. Though now all the straw hats had their observation haki to the full, especially Ken, Ken still wanted Chopper to be the defense.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
