Straw Hats with Animals : Luffy

Quick Summary
Rob Lucci shows his Devil Fruit ability while the Galley-La HQ continues to be engulfed in flames.

Long Summary
Outside of the Galley-La HQ, the shipwrights are seen helping each other escape from the flames engulfing the building while inside, the group in Iceburg's bedroom watch in horror as Rob Lucci transforms using his Devil Fruit ability, Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard. Grown massively in height, Rob Lucci towers over them explaining that of all the Devil Fruit types, Zoan users' special quality is to strengthen theirselves physically as the more they train, the more powerful they become.

Kalifa inform them that the other shipwrights are on their way towards the bedroom however Lucci, with only a kick, destroys the upper levels of the Galley-La HQ causing them to collapse. Nami and Chopper both run to escape the collapsing roof. Before Nami is hit by the collapsing ceiling, Chopper shoves her to safety and is buried himself. As Nami frantically begins to dig in the rubble in search of Chopper, Paulie manages to reach Iceburg and the pair attempt to escape however the CP9 stand in their way.

Just as Lucci  is about to strike the pair,  Luffy manages to hit him before he could use  Tekkai. Rob Lucci, who now saw sharp nails, pierces through Luffy and sends him flying somewhere in Water 7. Zoro then attacks however, he shares the same fate as Luffy however he is seen landing in the sea.

Outside the Galley-La HQ, the carpenters, who know nothing of what has happened inside, can only watch and hope that Iceburg has escaped with the help of Paulie, Kaku and Lucci. As they continue to look on, a shipwright is seen carrying out an unconcious Nami who they identify as a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Inside, Iceburg and Paulie are unconcious and tied up while a distressed Tyrannosaurus is by their side.

On a rooftop close by, the CP9 members are seen watching the Galley-La HQ burn while Rob Lucci explains that there is now nobody to confirm the truth. As though talking to Iceburg, he states that an ordinary citizen should never defy such a large government. He then states that their next job is to retreive the blueprints from Tom's second disciple, Franky.
