## One Piece Chapter 422, pages 14-16: Rob Lucci - Chapter: 422 - Pages: 14-16 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Rob Lucci ### Summary Page 14: The falling mast crashes into the deck while Marines shout, "UWAAAAH, WATCH OUT!!!" and "THEIR BATTLE IS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE!!!" Luffy and Lucci keep moving through the wreckage, exchanging strikes as the ship breaks under them. Lucci's attacks, including "BACHI!!!" and the pressure of Shigan-like blows, keep Luffy from simply overwhelming him. The scene makes the scale of Gear Third clear: Luffy can smash a warship apart, but Lucci's speed and technique still make the fight dangerous enough that neither side has secured the win. Page 15: Lucci adapts to the giant attacks and presses Luffy again. He lands on and around Luffy's enlarged limbs, forcing Luffy to react as the ship cracks beneath them. Lucci observes the weakness plainly: "IT SEEMS THAT WHILE YOUR POWER INCREASES, YOUR SPEED DECREASES, HUH?" He follows with another "RANKYAKU" and a heavy bird-shaped strike, "GAICHOU!!!" Luffy is hit and slammed through the chaos, the force marked by a huge crash. Gear Third gives him overwhelming size and power, but Lucci is already reading the tradeoff. Page 16: The ship is falling apart. Luffy narrowly avoids being cut in half and says, "THAT WAS CLOSE. I ALMOST GOT CUT IN HALF!!" Marines shout, "A CUT ON THE STEEL DECK!!!" and "THIS SHIP IS DONE FOR!!!" On another ship, officers report that Rob Lucci from CP9 and Strawhat Luffy are fighting and "THEY'RE COMPLETELY WRECKING THE SHIP." The commander refuses to believe the scale at first: "WHA...!? VICE ADMIRAL, SIR, YOU MUST BE JOKING! THERE ARE 100S OF OUR SOLDIERS ON BOARD!!" The order comes anyway: "ARTILLERY-MEN IN ALL SHIPS, AIM AT WARSHIP NUMBER 4. FIRE AT ONCE IN EXACTLY 5 SECONDS." The Buster Call's logic is clear: even a Marine ship full of soldiers can be sacrificed.
