You have such ambition, yet you're willing to die in his place?

Bear said this in a very calm tone.

The bear mark imprinted on Franky's chest was so conspicuous that everyone suddenly realized that this Shichibukai's strength was not comparable to that of Gecko Moria.

"This is the difference in strength; it's a complete one-sided crushing defeat. If Xiong hadn't shown no murderous intent, everyone here would probably be dead, right?" Haku said, stroking her chin as she observed the situation.

Bear shifted his focus back to Zoro, and in less than a round Zoro was already on the verge of death!

At this critical moment, Sanji no longer cared about Zoro's shame; if he didn't rush over, Zoro's life would truly be over. Therefore, he had no choice but to take action!

"Zeus!" Nami hurriedly called out to Zeus for help.

"Okay, Nami!" Zeus immediately unleashed a bolt of lightning at the Bear.

Seeing the lightning bolt hurtling towards them, the Bear easily swatted it aside.

Sanji's attack landed on Bear's face!

Bear easily caught Sanji's kick with his face, wasn't angry. He looked at Sanji and said, "Black Leg Sanji, is that you?"

Haku watched this dramatic scene and couldn't help but think to herself, "Wow!"

As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone in the face, but this guy did it anyway. He kicked someone right in the face.

It serves Sanji right that he was sent flying straight to the Okama Kingdom!

Faced with such a powerful opponent, no one had any strength left to fight back, Straw Hat Pirates's existing fighting force was quickly wiped out.

Kuma glanced at Luffy, who was still unconscious, and thus began the final test for Luffy's crewmate.

He calmly looked at everyone and said, "As expected, there's no fun in eliminating you all when you're so weak!"

"Although the World Government's special order is to completely annihilate you." As he spoke, he raised his hands and compressed the air.

As Haku watched this scene, she began to have a different opinion about her own abilities.

A huge, transparent sphere gradually formed between the Bear's hands, seemingly containing boundless power, so powerful that the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

"What on earth is he doing?" Chopper stared in shock at the scene before him.

Nami, watching the shrinking sphere with bated breath, said nervously, "He's using the elasticity of his fleshy ball to put pressure on the atmosphere."

After a moment's thought, Robin said, "With such a large amount of air returning to its original state, the shockwave that erupts is probably no less powerful than a bomb!"

"W-what? You mean this guy is making bombs!" Usopp said nervously.

Everyone held their breath, watching the power that was about to erupt with tension.

The bear compresses the air in its hands until its two palms can clasp together.

However, at this crucial moment, Bear suddenly stopped what he was doing. He glanced calmly at everyone present, his tone still as indifferent as water. "However, I've decided to give you all a chance."

"You must hand over Straw Hat Luffy's head to me. If I have his head, the government will have no more complaints!"

"Are you asking us to betray our own comrades?!" Usopp stared at the bear and said!

This is a difficult choice: either Luffy is handed over to Kuma to give everyone a chance to survive, or everyone will perish here.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Straw Hat Pirates unanimously rejected Kuma's proposal!

Bear looked at everyone's reactions, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. Even Haku couldn't help but nod.

However, Xiong's movements did not stop; he released the air blast he had compressed in his hand!

As Bear moved, the compressed air blast in his hand suddenly exploded, like a hidden bomb detonating in front of everyone.

In an instant, a powerful gust of air spread out at an astonishing speed, accompanied by a deafening roar. The entire space seemed to be torn apart by this force, and the airflow stirred up layers of dust, making everything around blurry.

The Straw Hat Pirates crew was thrown about by the sudden shockwave, barely able to stand. They all covered their eyes with their hands to avoid being blinded by the dust.

Unfortunately, only Zoro and Sanji, two people with decent physical abilities, made it out of the scene.

Everyone else fell unconscious within seconds of the impact!

The air was thick with the smell of dust and gunpowder, making it almost impossible to breathe. The force of the impact ripped up rocks and trees, creating a scene of utter chaos.

At the center of this shockwave, however, the Bear's figure seemed rooted to the spot, standing firm and unyielding. His eyes revealed determination and composure, as if he had long been confident in all that he had caused.

Haku stood in the void, gazing at the horrific scene below!

"That move was really powerful! It almost got me caught in the crossfire!" Haku murmured, looking at the bear below.

After Bear's antics, he was the only one left standing there.

Bear walked forward and stood in front of Luffy, intending to use the Paw-Paw Fruit to heal Luffy's injuries!

Keep in mind that Luffy's body was stuffed with a hundred shadows. While this overload of power brought a temporary boost to his strength, the aftereffects were extremely serious.

If someone with a weak will tried to do this, that person would probably have become an idiot by now!

Bartholomew Kuma had just lifted Luffy and was pointing his hand at Luffy's chest.

"Lion Song"

Zoro's voice, filled with the utmost effort, rang out, interrupting Kuma from this sudden turn of events!

Zoro slashed his clothes on his left shoulder, revealing the mechanical structure underneath.

"Cyborg like Franky? This body is harder than steel!" Zoro gasped.

"With a body like yours and the power of that terrifying demon, I think we really have no hope left." Zoro's voice was tinged with despair.

"To be honest, the gap between us is too great. You'll have a very hard time beating me," Xiong said calmly.

After catching his breath, Zoro had made up his mind. He looked at the bear in front of him and said, "No matter what, I must take Luffy's head."

"That's the maximum concession possible," the bear replied.

Zoro knelt before Bear and said firmly, "Fine! You can have his head! But I'll take his place!!"

"Although I'm not famous enough yet, I'm the man who will become the World's Greatest Swordsman! I think my head should be as tall as my captain's!"

Hearing Zoro's words, Kuma was slightly moved. "You have such ambition, yet you're willing to die in his place?"
