## One Piece Chapter 422, pages 16-17: Rob Lucci - Chapter: 422 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Rob Lucci ### Summary 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. Page 17: On the damaged warship, Marines raise their weapons around Luffy and Lucci. The narration frames the horror of the moment: "DUE TO A MOMENT OF HESITATION, FROM BRUTAL CRIMINALS WHO SLIPPED THROUGH YOUR FINGERS, HOW CAN YOU... PROTECT THE FUTURE?" A soldier screams, "ARGH!! GYAAH!!!" and the command arrives: "FIRE!" The fleet opens fire on its own ship. Cannon blasts swallow the deck and throw up smoke while the people aboard cry out in disbelief. Luffy and Lucci are still in the middle of the ship when the World Government decides that destroying them is worth destroying its own men too.
