Teleportation, this ability is just too overpowered, too strong.
Lucci and Monet's teleportation had huge flaws, but they were just within the World Government's tolerance.
Furthermore, they were explicitly forbidden by their superiors from telling anyone they still possessed the ability to teleport, a secret so classified it was part of the World Government's intelligence.
That's right, the shadowy figure was Lucci.
Lucci…
was also here to steal the Super Energy Device!
How did the World Government know about the Super Energy Device?
Naturally, it was because they had spies in the R&D lab. It couldn't be helped, Wano Country's technology was just too advanced, so the World Government naturally had to make preparations.
When the R&D lab was established, they sent CP agents to infiltrate it. It wasn't until recently that they learned about the Super Energy Device and reported it to the World Government.
The World Government coveted the Super Energy Device's incredible power, so they dispatched Lucci, who possessed teleportation abilities, to obtain it.
Lucci had been in Wano Country for some time, but he hadn't found an opportunity to strike until now. The attack by the Shadow Soldier Corps today revealed an opening. It was as if fate itself was helping him!
The Super Energy Device, which might have originally required a heavy price to obtain, had fallen into his hands so easily, all thanks to those mysterious black figures.
However…
Lucci felt a pang of unease because that woman had recognized the psychokinesis he was using, knowing he was from the World Government. If she were to reveal this…
it would surely cause a diplomatic dispute. Wano Country, a nation that had only recently joined the World Government, might, in its anger, withdraw from the World Government or even sever all cooperation. That was something the World Government could not accept.
So, Lucci had originally intended to kill that woman. But that woman happened to be an animal-type Devil Fruit user. Although he couldn't identify the specific animal, he knew all animal-type Devil Fruit users were tough and resilient.
In such a situation, he couldn't eliminate her quickly. If he delayed, he would be captured by Wano Country's soldiers, so he could only choose to escape.
Right now, he could only hope that the woman wouldn't be easily captured. As long as she wasn't caught, the matter might not be exposed. And even if she spread the word, Wano Country wouldn't believe unverified rumors and turn against the World Government.
Of course, all of this depended on that shadowy woman not being caught!
Just as Lucci was thinking this, he suddenly felt danger approaching. Lucci instinctively dodged, and then saw a familiar blade slicing down.
Even though he had dodged in advance, the blade was still too fast. Lucci was grazed on the back, and blood immediately flowed. Lucci let out a groan and said, "I didn't expect you could still get out."
He turned around and looked at the woman who had reappeared before him. No, she should be called a monster.
A black humanoid monster, wearing a strange mask, exuding an evil and ominous cold aura.
It was Yamato!
As long as there was a shadow, Yamato could enter it. Those soldiers didn't understand this, so they naturally couldn't catch Yamato.
And although Lucci had left the R&D lab through teleportation, as long as he was still in Wano Country, he was within the shadow realm's coverage, and they could naturally track his location.
Yamato moved quickly through the shadows, catching up to Lucci, and she wasn't alone.
In the silence, several more shadowy figures appeared from nowhere. A bead of sweat appeared on Lucci's face because the pressure emanating from those shadowy figures was immense!
"It seems our goals are the same."
Lucci said in a low voice, "However, if this thing is already in my hands, how could I possibly give it to you?"
He cautiously surveyed his surroundings, gripping the Super Energy Device tightly. The masked shadowy generals pressed closer. At the last moment, Lucci suddenly smiled, "Goodbye, everyone."
Suddenly…
Lucci's body vanished again!
Lucci knew that as long as he remained in Wano Country, it wasn't a safe place. So, the moment he transferred here, he had already started his next transfer. By now, he was performing his second transfer.
This time, he appeared in a tree. This was, of course, a location he had chosen long ago. Before carrying out the mission, he had already scouted his route.
However, after appearing this time, he didn't stop but continued to flee, because he didn't know how those ninja-like figures in black had tracked his location, nor how they had caught up to him.
"Hand over the item, or you won't be able to leave Wano Country."
As expected, not long after he left, Lucci heard the woman's voice again. The woman's voice was filled with anger, and several shadowy figures were close behind.
Lucci sneered, "You can't catch me."
He didn't know why they could arrive so quickly, but at least their speed on land couldn't match his. Lucci became confident, and his teleportation was about to activate after they had tracked him.
After several more evasive maneuvers, although Lucci was exhausted, he had actually managed to reach the border of Wano Country while being relentlessly pursued by those shadowy figures!
With just one more teleportation, he would be directly on the sea. He hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet, so entering the sea should be fine.
That's what Lucci thought. He could even feel the unwilling gazes of those chasing him behind him. This emotion actually made the exhausted him feel a sense of excitement and thrill.
With the combination of psychokinesis and teleportation, even if they were stronger than him, they still couldn't catch him!
Before teleporting again, Lucci happily said to them, "Goodbye, you thieves who stole the Super Energy Device. Wano Country will conduct a major sweep against you."
He thoroughly mocked the shadowy figures and then teleported!
He reappeared, and he was indeed on the sea. He looked at the Super Energy Device in his hand, and boundless joy surged within him.
He had done it. He had completed this mission!
However, at this moment, Lucci's body suddenly stiffened because he heard a roar…
A massive roar!
He mechanically turned around in the sea, and then saw, high above Wano Country, several enormous cannons aimed their barrels at him.
Lucci's smile instantly froze, and then he heard a series of roars…
Rumble!
Lucci lost consciousness.
