The rain over Water 7 had turned into a torrential downpour of 'System Errors'. Amine stood on the rooftop of the Galley-La headquarters, his body flickering like a corrupted hologram. His system integrity was at a lethal 4%. Every breath felt like inhaling shards of broken code.
In front of him, Luffy was facing Rob Lucci. The CP9 leader was no longer a man; he was a 'System Executioner', his movements so fast they bypassed the world's 'Rendering Speed'.
"Amine..." Luffy's voice was low, vibrating with a new, dangerous frequency. "I can't hit him. He's 'Frame-Skipping' through my attacks. My rubber isn't fast enough to catch his 'Admin Speed'."
Amine wiped the violet ink from his eyes and opened his interface for the last time. [Accessing: Biological Kernel – Heart Rate Protocol.] "Luffy, there is a way. But it's a 'Zero-Day Vulnerability'. If I 'Overclock' your blood pressure, your body will move faster than the world's 'Refresh Rate'. But your 'Hardware'... your heart... it might melt."
"Do it," Luffy said, a fierce grin breaking through the pain. "I don't care about the 'Hardware'. I care about Robin."
Amine slammed his stylus into the air, drawing a complex 'Cooling-Patch' around Luffy's chest. [Executing: Gear 2nd Synchronization – Overclock Mode.]
Suddenly, Luffy's skin turned a glowing, steam-filled pink. His blood wasn't just pumping; it was 'Accelerating' at a digital frequency. When he moved, he didn't just run; he Teleported.
"What?" Lucci's eyes widened, his 'Mantra-Surveillance' unable to track the change. "This shouldn't be possible within the 'Standard Physics' of this world!"
"This isn't 'Standard Physics', Lucci!" Amine roared, his eyes glowing with a blinding violet light. "This is a 'Modded' Luffy! You're not fighting a pirate anymore; you're fighting a 'System Anomaly'!"
Luffy disappeared and reappeared behind Lucci in a fraction of a frame. "Gomu Gomu no... Jet Pistol!" The impact wasn't a sound; it was a 'Shockwave of Data' that shattered the windows of the entire district. Lucci was sent flying through three stone walls, his 'Admin-Armor' cracking for the first time.
