Chapter 421

Summary
The details of the Buster Call are announced to all ships in the fleet; destroy Enies Lobby and capture Nico Robin. On the bridge, the Marines run in fear. Spandam retells his father Spandine saying how even the indiscrimination of Buster Call would not kill him. Just as he predicted, the bridge is excluded from targeting via the Buster Call. Franky is amazed by the sight, Robin cannot stop shaking after seeing the horrid sight of the Buster Call in action again. Back in the Tower of Justice, all other members of CP9 lay still unconscious.

Under the tunnel, Zoro and Sanji rush Sogeking in the tunnel. Coming the other way is Nami, Chopper, Kokoro, Chimney and Gonbe who are trying to outrun the flooding waters behind them.

The battle with Rob Lucci rages on between him and Luffy. Below them, the room they were fighting in is now filling up with water. Lucci heads up to the top, followed by Luffy. Lucci says he will not takes his eyes off of Luffy, Luffy says his crew and the others will survive and likewise he will not take his eyes off Lucci, because he knows he will kill them.

Lucci launches himself at Luffy and the fight continues as Lucci throws more Rokushiki techniques at him. Luffy tries his hardest, but Lucci gets the better of him in every instance. Luffy fights on, claiming if he can't beat Lucci he can't protect anyone. Once again Lucci attacks, striking Luffy hard, Luffy can barely hold out, Luffy decides its time for Gear Third. Lucci is surprised at Luffy's technique which makes his arm the size of a giants, he blocks and is hit by a "Gomu Gomu no Giant Pistol" attack, which knocks him through the wall of the tower.
