Apocalyptic Scene of Terror!

"If we can't find a way to break his Rebound Ability, our attacks will be meaningless," Sanji said.

His feet were still crimson, but he didn't dare to rush forward and attack easily.

If the force of the rebound is felt, Zoro serves as a cautionary tale.

Just as Sanji was pondering what to do, Xi Yan moved again.

"Water Release · Water Shockwave!!"

"Boom!!"

A tornado-like torrent of water suddenly appeared beside Xi Yan, then rapidly expanded, surging towards Xiong like a tidal wave!

"I see, so you're testing the waters with a wide-range attack..." Xiong said, narrowing his eyes.

It must be said that the other party does have some ideas.

But his Devil Fruit ability isn't so easily broken.

Just then, a thought popped into the bear's mind.

Is this water... seawater or Freshwater?

He saw it clearly just now; the water flow started to gradually gather around the other person... Perhaps it was drawing moisture from the air?

Of course, it's also possible that it summoned seawater, but... we'll have to try it to find out exactly what it is.

Thinking this, Xiong slowly raised his palm and said calmly, "Rebound~"

"Bump!"

The force of the rebound forcefully deflected the oncoming wave, creating a huge gap.

The underground water flow rushed to the bear's side, partially covering his legs.

Feeling the water flowing over its legs, the bear tensed its muscles, preparing to be propelled forward.

But he quickly relaxed, because he realized... these streams of water weren't seawater!!

"I see."

The bear immediately understood what was going on.

The kid in front of me does have the ability to manipulate seawater, but that ability needs to be used on the open sea. Water Release used on land are just ordinary Water Release.

Thinking of this, the bear calmed down and paid no attention to the ever-increasing seawater.

As a giant nearly seven meters tall, a flow of water one or two meters posed no threat to him.

"How... arrogant..."

The bastard in front of him was even more arrogant than he had imagined, but... this actually gave him some information.

With this kind of spreading attack, the opponent shouldn't be able to deflect all of it at once.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the other party did it on purpose.

However... he achieved his goal!

Because he didn't hold back his Chakra, the battlefield had now become exactly as he wanted it to be!

The flowing water has already covered a considerable area.

"Nami!" Xi Yan suddenly shouted, "Help me create a rain cloud, the bigger the better!!"

"Huh?!"

Nami paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Although she didn't know why Xi Yan wanted her to do this, Nami carried it out without hesitation because of her trust in Xi Yan.

Nami glanced at the battlefield and murmured, "This kind of environment is really suitable for creating cumulonimbus clouds..."

Suddenly, an idea popped into Nami's mind.

'Is Xi Yan planning to kill that guy with lightning?!'

Judging from the battle just now, every time the enemy used their rebounding force, they touched the attack with their hands.

In other words, as long as the attack range is large enough, the opponent may not be able to deflect the attack!

Thinking of this, Nami's eyes lit up.

"Cumulonimbus clouds?"

The bear glanced at the dark clouds that were gradually appearing in the sky and calmly asked, "What do you want to do?"

Are you planning to strike him with lightning... or unleash an even more powerful Water Release Technique with Rainwater?

"Hehe, who knows?"

Seeing that Xi Yan didn't say anything, Xiong didn't care. In any case, ordinary attacks were completely ineffective against him.

After calmly glancing at Nami, Kuma slowly raised his hand, as if he were about to attack Nami.

"Don't even think about it!"

Xi Yan shouted and launched Ninjutsu attack without hesitation.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Exploding Bite!!"

The water on the ground began to vibrate, then transformed into a large number of sharp, rock-like streams that stabbed fiercely into the bear's body!

"Bump!"

The enormous impact sent the bear, which was nearly seven meters tall, flying into the air!

However, due to the bear's immense size, the attack did not cause any significant damage.

"It's not over yet!"

"Boom!!"

The water on the ground began to spin rapidly, transforming into a massive tornado vortex at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The next moment, a dragon head appeared at the head of the tornado vortex, and it flew up with a whoosh, biting down hard on the bear!

"Roar!!"

"Another attack like this..." Xiong murmured, "Useless."

"Bump!"

The bear raised its paw to touch the dragon's head, and the power of the Paw-Paw Fruit immediately activated, sending the dragon's head flying with a thud!

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

The immense impact shattered the massive High Tower beside it!

"Varied...?!"

When Ai Ke saw this, he was dumbfounded.

This Water Dragon Water Dragon looked even more terrifying than the previous one, yet it was still slapped away by the opponent?

Just how powerful are these Shichibukai?!

"Even Xi Yan's Ninjutsu is ineffective, what should we do?" Usopp exclaimed in frustration.

Zoro hasn't returned yet, and nobody knows where he flew off to. Sanji and Xi Yan's attacks haven't worked either... What should they do?

"Don't rush," Nico Robin said calmly, "It's not over yet."

"Ah?"

"Look at Xi Yan's expression."

Usopp paused for a moment, then turned to look at Xi Yan's profile, only to find that the man still had the same expression, as if... he wasn't surprised by the current situation at all.

Usopp:???

What's the meaning?

Just then, the bear in mid-air landed, splashing water everywhere on the ground!

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

Bear calmly glanced at the water droplets clinging to his body and said, "Bring on whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve."

"Heh, I won't let you down~"

"Boom!!"

The cumulonimbus clouds in the sky suddenly emitted a roaring sound, as if announcing their presence.

Thanks to Nami's efforts, the cumulonimbus cloud grew larger and larger, and the amount of lightning stored within it became increasingly terrifying.

"So fast?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiong's eyes; he had never expected that this girl could create rain clouds so quickly.

How long has it been?

A huge black cloud has appeared overhead!!

Turning his head to glance at the tool in the girl's hand, a hint of doubt flashed in Xiong's eyes as he asked, "What is that?"

It doesn't look like a product of Devil Fruit; rather, it looks like... a special kind of technological product!

'Could it be that the thing in this girl's hand comes from Vegapunk?'

If that's the case, then it makes sense, after all... Vegapunk's technology is quite powerful!

But how did they obtain such a thing?

For a moment, Xiong was somewhat puzzled.

Being stared at by the bear like that Nami under immense pressure, but she didn't move, instead focusing on creating more dark clouds.

Because she knew that if Xiong tried to attack her, Xi Yan would stop him, just like... just now!

"Boom!!"

A terrifying roar of thunder resounded, startling Absalom on the other side.

"No way, you're doing it again?!"

Absalom glanced back at the dark clouds behind him, his expression turning grim.

Just now, the Water and Electricity Dragon that was blasted away by the bear accurately located Absalom, who was dragging Moria away!

The Water Dragon fell incredibly fast; he didn't even have a chance to react before being struck by the terrifying attack.

That terrifying electric current almost killed him instantly!

If his Anti-Shock had been any weaker, he would be lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back by now.

This infuriated Absalom; he felt that the bastard was deliberately chasing and beating him!!!

They've already failed, so why go after them completely?

Absalom was furious.

Moria, who was being dragged behind him, was also trembling from the attack, with puffs of black smoke rising from his body.

However, unlike Absalom, he was not nearly knocked unconscious by the lightning. Instead, thanks to the power of the lightning, he gradually regained consciousness!

It was as if... this electric shock had struck his heart, helping him regain his vitality!!

"Damn the Straw Hat Pirates!" Absalom cursed.

After glancing back at Moria, Absalom sighed again.

Although they failed this time, as long as Lord Moria is alive, they will have a chance to rise again!

Just then, Moria opened his eyes and stared intently at the sky!

At this moment, his eyes no longer held that previous look of dejection; instead... they were bright and piercing!

Upon seeing this, Absalom immediately exclaimed with delight, "Lord Moria, you're awake?!"

He hadn't expected that Lord Moria would regain his senses before he even went to find Hogback; this was wonderful.

"Absalom?" Moria glanced around, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You're the one who rescued me?"

"Yes," Absalom nodded, "That Bartholomew Kuma appeared here and started fighting with the Straw Hat Pirates, which gave me the opportunity to sneak you out of the ruins."

After speaking, Absalom paused for a moment, then said with some emotion, "It's fortunate that he came..."

Otherwise, with his Transparent Fruit ability, he might not have been able to take Lord Moria away, after all... that Red Eye guy could see him even when he was invisible!

Once discovered, he may face death.

Fortunately, they escaped.

"Bear?"

Moria frowned, clearly not expecting that bastard to still be there.

But what was his purpose in staying?

Are you trying to make a fool of yourself?

Thinking of this, Moria's expression immediately darkened, and he felt extremely displeased.

Did that guy say anything?

"Yes," Absalom nodded. "He came to invite that Ninja to become Shichibukai."

At this point, Absalom's face contorted with rage as he said, "Those damned bastards, after Lord Moria was defeated, they immediately invited the victor to become the new Shichibukai! It's utterly despicable!!"

Absalom was furious. Didn't the World Government show him any mercy?

Hearing Absalom say this, Moria calmed down.

Clearly, he was not surprised by this result.

The purpose of the Shichibukai is to deter other pirates, but if they are defeated by other pirates, they lose their deterrent effect.

Losers have no reason to exist, so Moria didn't complain. Failure is failure, there's nothing to say about it.

What he didn't expect was that Kuma would directly invite Xi Yan to become Shichibukai... Was it an order from the World Government?

That's true. Kuma is the most obedient to the World Government; he might even be able to contact the Five Elders directly.

Thinking about it this way, Moria actually found it reasonable.

'I wonder if the World Government is after Xi Yan himself, or his Ninjutsu,' Moria murmured to himself.

"Moria... Lord?"

Absalom was puzzled by Moria; he had a feeling that Moria was different after waking up, as if... he had become a different person.

Is it just my imagination?

Or perhaps... Lord Moria's brain has been damaged by the beating?

Thinking of this, Absalom cautiously said, "Lord Moria, shall I take you to find Hogback?"

Seeing Absalom's worried look, Moria said irritably, "I'm fine."

He understood what Absalom meant; his condition was indeed different from before.

But this isn't a bad thing; it's actually a good thing!

"Then you..."

"Ah... I only saw some things before I lost consciousness," Moria said with a complicated expression.

It can be said that Xi Yan's Illusion awakened the most terrifying image in Moria's heart, which was also his... nightmare.

That was the great battle with Kaido back in Wano Country!

Moria, under the Illusion, was reunited with his beloved companions and once again experienced that terrible scene, being scolded by them again and again.

In the end... he was brought to his senses by his friends' scolding.

Yes, back then he was clearly an incredibly powerful Shadow Demon, a hero capable of standing up to Kaido!

But now... he's fallen so low as to eke out a living in this godforsaken place... Is it really possible for him to avenge his comrades?

Absolutely impossible!!

At this moment, Moria was clearly aware of this.

If he truly wanted revenge, he shouldn't stay here manipulating corpses; instead, he should... continue fighting and become stronger!!

Otherwise, he would never have had the chance to defeat someone like Kaido.

Thinking of this, Moria turned to look into the distance and muttered, "I really do owe someone a huge favor..."

Looking at the increasingly dense dark clouds in the distance, Moria was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Lord Moria?"

Absalom looked at Moria with a puzzled expression. What was wrong with him this time?

Since waking up, Lord Moria has become rather sentimental... What's wrong with him?

Could it be that experiencing life and death brings unique feelings?

But why doesn't he feel that way?

"Things are a bit complicated, but anyway, I have to thank that Ninja Kid," Moria said.

Absalom:???

What does this mean? Lord Moria defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, yet now he's thanking them?

Is this... is this reasonable?

Moria didn't care; he knew that Absalom would have a hard time understanding such things.

After letting out a long sigh, Moria asked, "Where are Hogback and Perona?"

"This..."

Seeing Absalom's hesitant expression, Moria immediately frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Explain!"

Could something bad have happened?

Absalom just mentioned Hogback, which means he's still alive.

That's Perona's problem... Could it be that her daughter was killed?!

Thinking of this, Moria's expression immediately darkened.

"Hogback is already on our spare ship, but Perona..."

"Explain!"

"I encountered a few zombies earlier, and they told me that Perona had met the Bartholomew Kuma and then vanished instantly," Absalom said. "But before I could ask anything further, their shadows were pulled away by you."

"So... I don't know where Perona is either."

Upon hearing this, Moria's face immediately contorted with rage.

Absalom knew what had happened on Perona's side, but how could he not know?

It must have been that bastard Kuma who used his Devil Fruit power to send his own daughter flying!!

"That damned bastard..." Moria said through gritted teeth, "He actually dared to do it."

"Lord Moria?"

"Absalom, take Hogback and leave this island immediately. Wait for me at sea."

And what about you?

"Me?" Moria grinned maliciously. "Of course I'm going to settle the score with that bastard Xiong!!"

He'll never forgive that guy who dared to send his daughter flying!

"But the Straw Hat Pirates are currently dealing with him..."

"Go now!!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Moria was truly enraged, Absalom dared not waste any more words and turned to run away.

Moria glanced around and felt a strange sense of familiarity about the place.

Instinctively, Moria walked to the boulder beside him and punched the stone slab.

"Boom!!"

The stone shattered, revealing a huge box underneath.

After bending down and opening the box, an enormous katana appeared inside.

Upon seeing this, Moria suddenly laughed.

"Old buddy... let's fight side by side again!"

"Clang!"

Meanwhile, thanks to Nami's efforts, the extent of the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky had become quite terrifying.

It can be said that it covers almost the entire area.

During this time, Xi Yan used Ninjutsu to attack Bartholomew Kuma several times, delaying him in that area.

However, Xi Yan still felt a sense of unease, as if... the other party hadn't used their full strength.

'Is it just my imagination?' Xi Yan murmured to himself.

Could it be that this Shichibukai is holding back?

How could that be!

They came with the intention of killing them; how could they possibly hold back?

With that thought in mind, Xi Yan banished the idea from his mind and focused intently on Bartholomew Kuma.

At that moment, the bear was standing in the middle of a stream of water!

"Isn't that enough?" Nami said.

The cumulonimbus cloud was already enormous, and she wasn't sure if it could be maintained any longer.

"That's enough," Xi Yan said. "You all move away from each other."

"Good."

Nami breathed a sigh of relief, then put away her Clima-Tact and immediately retreated.

Although Sanji and the others were puzzled, they obediently retreated, leaving the battlefield to Xi Yan.

Seeing this, the bear said, "What, do you want to fight me one-on-one?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"Very courageous, but..."

"Not enough!"

As soon as Xiong finished speaking, he appeared in front of Xi Yan and slapped him down with his palm!

Xi Yan's pupils contracted, and he immediately assumed a defensive stance.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

With a single blow, a huge crater shaped like a bear's paw was blasted into the ground!

Xi Yan, who was within the attack range, was slammed to the ground by the bear and took the hit head-on.

"They really are... ruthless..."

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and Xi Yan's face paled slightly.

At this moment, Xi Yan felt incredibly fortunate to possess a special bloodline, which gave him a significant innate advantage.

In addition, he has been strengthening his physical body over the years, making his defense very strong; otherwise, his current condition would definitely not be much better.

If this were an ordinary Ninja... they would most likely be dead by now.

"Xi Yan!!"

"Don't come any closer!" Xi Yan roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, he punched the side of the bear's hand hard.

"Monster Strength Fist!!"

"Bump!!"

The force was so great that it forcefully knocked the Bartholomew Kuma's arm to the side.

Xi Yan seized the opportunity and quickly activated his Earth Release Technique allows one to escape underground), instantly burrowing into the ground.

"Earth Release Technique: Earth Wander Technique!"

"It can actually burrow underground...?" Xiong slowly straightened up, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

He then turned to look at Xi Yan, who had emerged from the ground, and said, "Your Ninjutsu is truly more numerous than I imagined."

"There are even more!"

After saying that, Xi Yan leaped onto the boulder behind him, dazzling lightning crackling in his hands. He then continued, "Try this move, Bear!!"

"Boom!!"

Under Xi Yan's manipulation, an incredibly terrifying roar suddenly echoed from the dark clouds in the sky, and a gigantic shadow could be vaguely seen moving among the clouds!

Upon seeing this, the Baoya's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "What is that?!"

How did he just see such a huge shadow in the clouds? Was it an illusion?

Hearing the Baoya's startled cry, people immediately looked up at the sky.

"Boom!!"

"What a huge shadow..."

"What the hell is that?"

"Is this all the confidence you have?" The bear raised its head and looked up at the sky, saying, "Trying to use the power of nature to attack me?"

At this moment, Xiong understood the purpose behind Xi Yan's series of actions.

Whether it was using Water Release Technique to confine him here, or having the little girl create rain clouds, it was all for this purpose.

However, what puzzled Xiong was how the other party could possibly channel the power of lightning down.

Relying on that thin, electric bolt in his hand?

Thinking this through, the bear said, "Kid, your idea is certainly good, but... it's impossible for you to defeat me!"

How will you know if you don't try?!

"Roar!!"

As soon as Xi Yan finished speaking, an enormous thunder beast burst out from the clouds and roared at the bear below.

"Qilin... Kirin?!"

Nami stared at the sky in disbelief. Why was there Thunder Qilin there?

How did Xi Yan manage to transform lightning into the shape of Kirin?

'Could it be that Devil Fruit?' Sanji thought in horror.

Back when they were on the Skypiea, they encountered a guy with lightning abilities; that guy had the power to create lightning.

Could it be... that Xi Yan ate his Devil Fruit?

Wrong!!

It is certain that Xi Yan is not Devil Fruit User.

So... that's the power of Lightning Release?

Thinking of this, Sanji was filled with shock. He never imagined that Lightning Release could do such a thing. It was truly astonishing!

"What the hell is that?!"

Zoro, who had just run back, stared at the sky in shock, his eyes filled with horror.

After being knocked away, he started circling around here. When he finally returned to the battlefield, he discovered this shocking scene.

Zoro glanced at the Xi Yan figure wielding lightning and thought in horror, 'This is... Lightning Release?!'

Seeing this, Lola subconsciously swallowed.

No wonder Nami told them to stay away earlier; if such a massive thunder beast were to fall, everyone within its range would likely die!

"Savor this move!" Standing below, Xi Yan stared coldly at the bear and said, "Lightning Release: Kirin!!"

"Roar!!"

"No matter how powerful your moves are, they're useless if you can't hit them," Xiong said.

After saying that, he quickly squatted down and slapped the ground hard.

"Boom!!"

The immense force caused the ground to collapse, shattering the clone that had just emerged!

'Using clones to launch a sneak attack from below?'

'What an innocent brat!'

How could someone with Observation Haki possibly be hit by such a simple sneak attack?

Glancing at the increasingly bright sky out of the corner of his eye, Xiong quickly raised his hand, intending to launch himself away first.

But before he could even make a move, the clone he had shattered suddenly exploded, turning into a dazzling blue light!

"Varied...?!"

Xiong's pupils constricted instantly; this was actually lightning?!

Was that clone actually made of lightning?

"Sizzle!"

Seeing this, the bear didn't hesitate at all and immediately sprang up, intending to avoid the attack.

Unfortunately, due to the abundance of water on this battlefield, those using Lightning Release, which possesses Chakra properties, were not slower than him.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The electric current, moving along the water flow, caught up with the bear almost instantly, causing his body to shudder and many mechanical components to short-circuit briefly.

At this moment, the bear couldn't even move an inch.

'It's because of water... Is that why he created this battlefield?'

Xiong Xin's heart sank immediately. As a Cyborg, most of his body had been modified into machinery, which was extremely vulnerable to lightning!

Despite all the calculations, no one anticipated that the opponent's clones were made of lightning.

"I've been waiting for you all this time." Xi Yan sneered, not letting go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and waved his hand fiercely.

"Get down here!!"

"Boom!!"

An enormous thunder beast descended from the sky, rushing down at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and almost instantly arrived in the bear's face!

'I was careless...'

As the Kirin Thunder Beast drew ever closer, Xiong's pupils shrank to their maximum size.

"Boom!!"

The terrifying Thunder Force slammed into the bear, completely paralyzing him.

The next moment, the power of lightning began to spread, frantically attacking everything in the target area!

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

The terrifying lightning relentlessly ravaged the earth, completely engulfing the entire area.

That terrifying scene was like the end of the world!

A dazzling light shone forth, as bright as day!

The blinding light made Lola and the others instinctively close their eyes, but that terrifying light couldn't be blocked simply by closing their eyes.

Even through their eyelids, they could feel that terrifying light!

"Is this the end of the world?!" Ai Ke yelled, covering his ears. "This is terrifying!!"

Unfortunately, no one could answer him, because the sound of the attack was so terrifying that no one else could hear him!

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

Countless boulders were blasted to pieces, and huge craters were blasted into the earth. Even the massive High Tower were smashed into pieces!

The sounds of explosions and roars continued to echo in everyone's ears!

The bear, located at the center of the attack, took the full brunt of the attack without even being able to move.

"Boom!!"

A moment later, the power of the Lightning Release gradually dissipated, and the dazzling light gradually dimmed, eventually returning to its original brightness.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

The bear lying in the deep pit, crackling with lightning and trembling from time to time, looked like a short-circuited robot.

At this moment, his glasses were shattered, his clothes were tattered, and he had extensive burns all over his body, making him look extremely miserable!

"Wow... what terrifying power..."

"Is this the power of Ninja?"

"Wow, that's powerful!"

Baoya and the others swallowed hard, looking at Xi Yan as if he were a god.

Only a god could achieve such a terrifying effect!

"This must be Kami Da!!"

That's right!

"It's Kami!!!"

Seeing the excited Baoya guys and the others, Sanji and the others subconsciously swallowed.

They had never seen Xi Yan use this technique before; it was terrifying.

I instinctively leaned over for a look and immediately spotted the Bartholomew Kuma lying at the bottom of the pit, twitching occasionally.

"Did we... we won?"

"Probably, this guy looks like he's totaled..."

"Great, we won!!"

"Profound!!"

The crowd cheered excitedly, feeling as if they had survived a disaster.

There was nothing they could do; the Bartholomew Kuma's strength was simply too terrifying. Even though they had given it their all, they couldn't inflict any effective damage.

It wasn't until Xi Yan made his move that the opponent was truly defeated!

"Combined Attack Technique!!"

"This is Combined Attack Technique!!"

Usopp and Chopper looked at Nami excitedly and said, "Nami, this is your and Xi Yan's Combined Attack Technique!"

The combined attack from the two was like Heavenly Punishment —it was terrifying!!

Damn it, they seem to have Combined Attack Technique with Xi Yan too!!

"Um..."

Nami nodded subconsciously; she hadn't expected that she and Xi Yan could unleash such terrifying power together.

This is exactly like Enel we encountered back then!

"Call..."

"It seems the power of lightning has a very significant effect on Cyborg."

Xi Yan glanced at the bear, whose eyes had rolled back in its Byakugan, and let out a long sigh of relief, subconsciously wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Having participated in two consecutive high-intensity battles and used dozens of Ninjutsu, including many high-level Ninjutsu or Secret Technique that consume a lot of Chakra, Xi Yan was truly exhausted.

"Are you all alright over there?"

Xi Yan, who was resting on a rock, turned to look at Nami and the others in the distance and said.

Although this is the main target of this thunder beast's attack, the power of lightning can also be conducted.

If any unlucky soul happens to walk into a puddle, they will be struck by lightning 100% of the time.

For ordinary people like Ai Ke and his group, being hit by this kind of attack would definitely kill them.

"It's alright, we're all alright."

"It's alright, that's good." Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

If one of our own people gets killed by his Ninjutsu, that would be a real disaster.

"Splash~"

The heavy rain began to fall, washing everything away.

Feeling the cool Rainwater, Xi Yan subconsciously reached out to touch it, muttering, "This method definitely Chakra than using Ninjutsu myself."

If he were to use this technique himself, he would at least have to use Fire Release to change the temperature here and create a huge rain cloud.

But with Nami around, it's different; Nami can create rain clouds for him without consuming any resources.

This greatly reduces the difficulty of using the Lightning Release Kirin.

"You actually had such a technique hidden away..." Zoro walked over, took off the bandana from his arm, and said, "That's terrifying."

Seeing Zoro walking back, Xi Yan jumped down from the rock and looked at Zoro with a puzzled expression, saying, "Where did you run off to?"

Judging from Zoro's appearance, he doesn't seem to have been knocked unconscious by Kuma.

"Ah, I got hit a bit too far away," Zoro said, looking away.

"I think you've gotten lost again," Sanji retorted.

If it weren't for the commotion here, he would have even doubted whether Zoro could have been found.

This guy's terrible sense of direction is truly outrageous.

"What did you say?!" Zoro roared, "Do you want to fight?!"

"Who's afraid of who? Come on!"

"Ping ping pong pong~"

Lola:...

Seeing these two guys suddenly start fighting, Lola was completely dumbfounded. How could they have so much energy?

They've only just survived two major wars, and they still have the energy to fight?

Is this the Straw Hat Pirates ' strength...? Truly terrifying!!

"Those two guys..." Usopp said helplessly, "They never seem to have a moment's peace."

Nami glanced at it and then looked away. The battle was over anyway; let them fight if they wanted.

It's a pity this Shichibukai came to someone else's territory, so we couldn't get his treasure; otherwise... it would have been a huge windfall!

Thinking about this, Nami felt a little regretful.

"I wonder how much our bounty will be this time," Franky said.

Having defeated two Shichibukai in a head-on confrontation, the Straw Hat Pirates ' bounties must have risen to a terrifying level.

"Yeah, the bounty!" Chopper exclaimed excitedly, "Will it go up?!"

He cared far too much about the bounty; the words "50 Beli" were glaringly obvious to him.

"Will I have one too?!" Merry asked expectantly.

"You guys, this isn't a good thing..." Nami helplessly. What's so good about raising the bounty?

Then you'll be targeted by terrifying bounty hunters. What if someone takes your head?

Unfortunately, no one else seemed to care much about this, except for Nami, who was afraid.

"What's there to be afraid of? If someone's eyeing our heads, we'll just take them out," Xi Yan said nonchalantly.

Bounty hunters are nothing to worry about for Xi Yan.

Just then, a strange sound entered Xi Yan's ears, like... the sound of blowing up a balloon.

"What's that noise?" Xi Yan asked, frowning.

Just then, Ai Ke's pupils contracted, and he raised his hand, pointing behind Xi Yan, saying, "What... what is that?"

From his perspective, a huge, colored gas billowed out of the crater, looking just like a bear's paw!
