## One Piece Chapter 373, pages 6-8: Necessary Evil - Chapter: 373 - Pages: 6-8 - Characters: Sanji, Franky, Nero, Rob Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, Blueno, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 6: Sanji and Franky look at the CP9 agents and understand who must have taken Robin. Sanji says, "So... these people are the ones who kidnapped Robin?" Franky warns him, "Careful. They use some really weird moves." Kaku identifies the fallen Nero: "Corgi said he's a new member of CP9. He knows how to use four of the forms." Lucci asks, "Who's he?" Nero, beaten and furious, gasps, "Guh... you're dead...!! I'm a combat genius!! I... I'm gonna kill you!!" Franky, still standing over him, calls down, "Hey, new guy." The gap between Nero's pride and CP9's standards is about to become painfully clear. Page 7: Nero finally realizes who he is facing and says, "Ah... you must be... Rob Lucci... I forgot to say hi...!!" Lucci does not indulge him. He says, "Forget it." Then he tells Nero, "You have three seconds to run for your life." Nero thinks Lucci is joking and protests, "Hey! Are you kidding me!?" Lucci counts down: "3... 2... 1." Nero stammers, "D... don't do it!!!" and asks, "Run for my life? From who?" Lucci disappears with "Soru!!!" The warning was not a threat for later; it was the only mercy Lucci intended to offer. Page 8: Lucci strikes Nero and sends him flying off the Puffing Tom. Nero screams, "Gwah!!!" as he is hurled into the sea. Lucci's judgment is merciless: "You half-assed worthless trash... And you call yourself a member of CP9. You have to master all Six Forms... before you can claim to be a Choushin, brat..." A note explains that Choushin means Superman. The sea swallows Nero with a "Sploosh," and Lucci does not look back. For CP9, failure is not merely shameful; it is disposable. Sanji and Franky see exactly how cold the agents of "justice" really are.
