## One Piece Chapter 422: Rob Lucci - Chapter: 422 - Pages: 0-17 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Nico Robin, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Franky, Rob Lucci, Kokoro, Nami, Chimney, Gonbe ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 422 opens with a color spread titled "SPEEDSTERS!" and labeled "Chapter 422: 'ROB LUCCI'." The Straw Hats and allies race across the water in bright, numbered boats, turning the chapter cover into a playful speed race rather than a story scene. It is useful as official chapter-cover material, but it does not advance the Enies Lobby battle. Page 2: The Buster Call command continues over the burning island. A Marine asks, "VICE ADMIRAL, SIR! HOW SHOULD WE CAPTURE NICO ROBIN ON THE BRIDGE OF HESITATION?" The answer comes coldly: "JUST LEAVE HER ALONE." When someone protests, "...!? BUT..." the battlefield itself answers with smoke and cannon fire. A voice asks, "THERE WAS ONCE A KINGDOM WHERE 500 SOLDIERS WERE CAPTURED BY PIRATES?" The story returns to the Marine legend of Rob Lucci. Fifteen years ago, a boy was sent by the World Government to rescue hostages after a pirate captain demanded the throne in exchange for their lives. The boy did not simply save them. He "SNEAKED INTO THE PIRATES' HIDEOUT..." and the kingdom, considering the hostages lives, was about to surrender. The page frames Lucci as a weapon the Government once used when ordinary rescue was not enough. Page 3: The legend of Lucci darkens. When the boy turned his back on the mountain of corpses, all 500 soldiers of the kingdom had been obliterated along with the hostages. The narration explains that "DARK JUSTICE" was his true vocation and that he entered CP9 at the age of thirteen. The Marines describe him as "THE BOY WHO CARRIED MANY BULLET SCARS" and say he was already a secret agent. The pirates who had become angry and fired bullets at him were settled in the incident, and the rumor became that he is the strongest. The most cold-blooded "murdering weapon" in CP9's history was sent to take Nico Robin. The scene makes clear why the Marines fear and trust him at the same time: if that man is on the mission, mercy is not part of the plan. Page 4: The Marines decide there is nothing left for them to do except destroy everything beyond the Bridge of Hesitation. The order is blunt: "DESTROY EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE BRIDGE OF HESITATION." A soldier shouts, "WATCH OUT!! I'M GONNA DIE~~!!!" as the Sea Train rushes through chaos toward the bridge. Another panics, "NO~~~!!!" and asks, "ARE THERE ANY DRIVERS AROUND!?" Someone realizes, "THE SEA TRAIN ISN'T WORKING!!" while another shouts that the water from the ocean has entered the underground passage. The flood below and the bombardment above are now part of the same disaster. Someone cries, "ACK...!!!" while another says, "I KNEW IT!!!" because the strange water sound from below confirms that Lucci's attack has trapped the escape route. Page 5: In the flooded underground passage, Nami, Chopper, Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe are driven forward by the rising water. Franky's warning reaches them in spirit through the danger: the passage will be filled with water soon. Nami is alarmed: "NAMI-SAN IS..." and someone says, "THEY ARE BEING CHASED BY WATER!!" She asks, "HOW CAN YOU BE SO POSITIVE!!?" while another voice insists, "GONNA JUMP INTO MY ARMS!!" The water cuts off choices quickly. "THEN WE DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO RUN~~!!" someone cries. Chopper realizes, "THIS IS AN UNDERGROUND PASSAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN. IT MUST HAVE BEEN STRENGTHENED BY SOME THICK-ASS STEEL." The group is trapped in a room built to hold back the sea, and now the sea is inside it. Page 6: The force of Gear Third continues to drive Rob Lucci through stone and metal. Luffy's giant fist sends him smashing across the structure while Lucci struggles to keep control, thinking, "I CAN'T... FALL INTO THE OCEAN LIKE THIS...!!" and "I'M LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS..." The impact hurls him through debris, breaks the outer tower, and carries the fight out toward the sea. Lucci is not merely knocked back; for a moment, even his hardened body is overwhelmed by the absurd weight of Luffy's giant fist. Page 7: Lucci crashes onto the deck of a Marine ship with the sound of tearing wood and metal. The sailors look up in horror as a leopard-form body slams down among them. Someone shouts, "A BEAST!?" Another realizes, "NO!! A DF USER!!" The soldiers point rifles and panic over what they have seen: "WHO ARE YOU?" "ON THE WARSHIP... I'M SAVED..." Lucci barely has time to breathe before the Marines understand who he is. "MR. ROB LUCCI FROM CP9!!" one calls out. The shock turns into confusion because the man they know as CP9's strongest has been blasted all the way onto their ship. Page 8: The Marines nearly open fire on Lucci before recognizing him. "ADMIRAL, SIR!!" someone shouts. Another officer snaps, "CUT IT OUT, IDIOTS!! LOWER YOUR GUNS!!!" The soldiers stammer, "I SAID, WHO ARE YOU!? ANSWER ME!!!" while the realization spreads:...
