Miguel's expression instantly changed, but he was distracted, and the attack was extremely fast, so he didn't have time to dodge.
A finger-sized hole appeared on Miguel's back, blood gushing out. His body was forced back several steps by this force.
Miguel looked coldly at the newcomer and said, "Lucci."
"Captain Miguel! Enemy attack!"
The Marine corporal next to him hadn't yet understood what had happened, thinking it was some unknown enemy who had attacked, and shouted in a panic.
Yamakaji was the first to react. With a "clang!" a sharp blade was unsheathed, and he stood in front of Miguel.
He stared coldly at Lucci, Haki wrapped around his blade, and said unyieldingly, "CP0, what are you doing? Attacking my soldier, are you looking for death?!"
"Hehe, I'm just carrying out orders." Lucci sneered.
Looking at Yamakaji who was protecting Miguel, he explained with a rare good mood, "Saint Warcury personally issued the order to arrest Miguel."
As his words fell, everyone's expressions changed.
Yamakaji frowned and asked in confusion, "Why didn't I receive such an order?"
"You're not worthy."
Lucci had his hands in his pockets, now in a great mood.
Renji was dead, and he was to arrest Miguel. He was thrilled.
"What, are you going to do it for me?" Lucci stared at Yamakaji with a teasing look, watching the latter's changing expression as if appreciating prey.
Noticing the increasingly ugly expression on Yamakaji's face, Lucci was secretly overjoyed. He had long been annoyed by Renji's subordinates. Now that he had this opportunity, he naturally wanted to kick them while they were down.
Seeing this situation, the bound Straw Hat Pirates and Law discussed amongst themselves.
Chopper's small eyes widened. "What's going on, are the Marines fighting amongst themselves?"
Sanji raised his curly eyebrow. "It looks like it."
Law took a deep breath, a hint of schadenfreude in his smile, and said, "Although I don't know what happened, this is a good thing for us."
"And everyone saw that attack just now, Renji might already be dead." Robin picked up the conversation.
As long as Renji died, she believed there would still be room for maneuver. If that man lived, all future possibilities would be mercilessly erased.
To have escaped twice from the hands of that bloodthirsty Admiral and lived to this day was already a great blessing.
"Is he really dead? Are you sure, Robin? Wuwuwu, I'm so touched." Nami was so happy she was about to cry.
"Yohohohoho! That's incredibly hair-raising, though I don't have any hair, yohohoho!" Brook laughed loudly.
"I feel like the future is full of hope again." Usopp woke up and heard this exciting news.
Franky said, "Super!"
"Let's first think about how to break free from these restraints." Zoro's gaze was serious.
He looked at his ankle and said, "I wonder if No Sword Style, with my hands tied, can cut off my leg."
Sanji immediately cursed upon hearing this, "Huh? Are you an idiot?!"
Zoro retorted angrily, "Huh? Who are you calling an idiot, perverted cook?"
"Of course I'm calling you, moss-head. Your hands are tied, what good would cutting off your leg do?!"
Listening to Sanji's angry scolding, Zoro fell into thought, then realized that the former seemed to make a lot of sense.
Giving up the argument, Zoro turned his attention to his arms and pondered. "I wonder if my feet can cut off my hands. Can someone help me get a sword, I'll try to use my mouth to perform One Sword Style."
"Idiot!"
Everyone collectively scoffed, no one paid attention to Zoro anymore.
"What? If you're not going to carry out the order, then move aside."
Lucci slowly landed on the deck railing, looking at Yamakaji with a mocking expression.
"Or are you not only not carrying out the order, but also planning to defy it and stop me?"
"Yamakaji, don't mind me, I can handle it."
Miguel spoke, preparing to step forward, but Yamakaji forcefully pulled him back.
With a smile on his face, Yamakaji said firmly, "Sorry, but I didn't hear any order to arrest Miguel.'
"I am a Marine, the highest commander of this warship. The only one who can command me is the Fleet Admiral, Akainu."
As Yamakaji slowly spoke, the Marine soldiers were all shocked, and Miguel also looked at him in surprise.
"Well said! We are Marines!"
"Why should we listen to the orders of a CP agent?!"
For a moment, the morale of the soldiers on the warship solidified, and they united against Lucci, standing on the same front as Yamakaji.
Meanwhile, Lucci's expression gradually darkened, his eyes terrifyingly black.
Whoosh!
A Haki whirlwind swirled around Lucci, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a human-leopard, black flame-clouds entwined around him, his appearance imposing and powerful.
In an instant, the powerful aura suppressed everyone on the entire warship.
Seeing this, Lucci recalled his glorious past achievements.
To complete a mission, he had slaughtered 500 hostage soldiers in that country, and then killed the culprits.
The current situation was actually not much different for him.
"Disobeying the Gorosei's orders, it's perfectly reasonable to execute them on the spot."
A bone-chilling coldness instantly spread among the Marine soldiers on the warship. Even Yamakaji and Miguel were shocked by the killing intent emanating from Lucci, feeling a shiver.
The next second, Lucci sneered, and just as he was about to make a move—
Whoosh!
A dazzling red light instantly pierced through Lucci's chest. The red light then continued with undiminished force, passing through Lucci's body and flying straight into the sea.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Boom!!!
An extremely violent explosion erupted on the distant sea surface, creating giant waves that rose a hundred meters, like a huge water balloon bursting.
Under the shocked gazes of the Marine soldiers, the light in Lucci's eyes quickly dimmed. His eyeballs slowly turned to a certain spot, his incredulous expression gradually freezing.
"You... You actually didn't..."
Thud!
Lucci fell onto the deck. The blood gushing from his chest quickly stained a large area, intensely crimson.
Everyone looked up. A figure appeared high in the sky, his azure eyes flashing with divine light.
