## One Piece Chapter 425, pages 10-14: The Bridge of Struggle - Chapter: 425 - Pages: 10-14 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Rob Lucci ### Summary Page 10: Lucci comes in with claws, legs, and fangs, attacking from every angle. Luffy blocks one strike with an open palm, then takes another heavy kick as the leopard-form assassin drives him across the broken floor. Still, he does not stop. He absorbs the pressure, twists back through the steam, and forces his way inside Lucci's reach. The panels close in on the violent exchange until Luffy begins the next attack with the short, sharp call: "JET". Page 11: Lucci's body bends and coils with a vicious "SCREECH!!" as Luffy watches for the next opening. Both of them are battered, both still moving too fast for a normal eye to follow. Luffy completes the attack he began, shouting "JET" and then "BULLET!!!" His fist drives into Lucci at close range, smashing through the leopard man's guard in another burst of impact. The bridge shakes under them, but Lucci still stays on his feet. Page 12: Luffy refuses to let the pressure drop. He fires another "JET PISTOL!!!" and sends Lucci skidding through the debris with a thunderous crash. For a heartbeat the attack looks like it may have broken through, but Lucci's eyes stay focused. Luffy, coughing and panting, begins "GOMU GOMU" again, but Lucci has already measured him. The assassin says he will show him "THE STRONGEST TECHNIQUE OF A ROKUSHIKI USER... WHO HAS MASTERED EVERYTHING TO THE EXTREME: THE HEART OF ROKUSHIKI!!" Then Lucci vanishes into close range, setting up a technique far more dangerous than the blows Luffy has been trading. Page 13: Lucci drives both fists into Luffy and releases the secret technique: "ROKU OU GUN"!!! The impact bursts through Luffy's body from point-blank range. Luffy's face twists in shock, and the force throws him away across the stones. There is no ordinary cut or punch to block; it hits like a blast from within, and the sound of the strike swallows the battlefield for a moment. Lucci stands over the aftermath while Luffy crashes down, stunned by the strongest technique of Rokushiki. Page 14: Luffy slams into the ground, but he understands the nature of the blow even while coughing blood. "IT'S JUST LIKE THE IMPACT DIAL FROM THE SKY ISLAND...!!" he thinks, and then realizes the difference: "BUT ITS POWER IS GREATLY AMPLIFIED...!!!" Lucci breathes heavily, "HAA... HAA..." and Luffy coughs "COUGH!!" before forcing himself back into motion. Lucci follows with "RANKYAKU" and a slicing kick screams toward him, but Luffy answers with "GAI-CHOU"!!! The counterattack tears through the rubble as both fighters keep choosing offense over retreat.
