Terror Descending from the Sky, a Golden Flash at the Moment of Life and Death!

"Did it work?!"

Seeing the Pacifista finally fall, Usopp excitedly exclaimed, "Did we defeat this guy?"

"It seems so."

"Very good!!"

The group cheered; they had finally defeated the bear-like creature!

"What exactly is this thing?"

Zoro frowned as he looked at the Pacifista and said, "Cyborg?"

"More or less."

Franky said, "And it's a Cyborg looks exactly like Bartholomew Kuma."

He figured this guy was either a bear's twin or a human who looked similar to a bear.

After all... cloning technology is impossible in this world!!

He has a serial number on him.

Xi Yan, who had returned using the Instant Body Technique, pointed to the Pacifista lying on the ground not far away and said, "It says PX-4 on it."

"I think... there must be several more guys like that."

4?

"So, these aren't bear twins?" Franky frowned. "How did the World Government find these similar people?"

"Perhaps it's cloning technology?"

"Impossible!" Franky said firmly, "Cloning technology simply cannot exist in this world!"

He preferred to believe that the World Government had found something that looked very much like a bear.

"I don't know."

Xi Yan shrugged; he had no idea what was going on with this Cyborg that bled.

"It's not Big Bear after all...?"

Luffy adjusted his hat and stood up, glancing at the Pacifista before saying, "So, we attacked the wrong people?"

"You can't say that," Zoro said. "Although he's not Kuma himself, he's still an enemy."

After all... this guy came here to kill them, so there's no need to be polite to him!

"Hmm... that's true."

"We don't know what's wrong with this guy, but let's get out of here first," Sanji said, glancing at his companions. "Making such a commotion might attract the attention of the Marines."

"Yes, that's true," Xi Yan agreed. "Our presence here may have already been discovered by the Navy."

Since there's more than one such individual, then... do these special Cyborg possess the ability to communicate with each other?

If so, the Navy definitely already knows they're here!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Nami said anxiously.

The thought that there were several more of these terrifying individuals made Nami feel apprehensive.

If we were trapped here... that would be utterly hopeless.

If Marine Admiral shows up too, then they're truly doomed.

"Let's go, let's go to number 1 first..."

Before Xi Yan could finish speaking, as if sensing something, he immediately looked up at the top.

"Tch... It wasn't that simple after all."

"What's wrong?"

After hearing Xi Yan's words, everyone followed his gaze and looked up, and immediately saw two tall figures standing on the trunk of a large tree!

"This..."

"Damn it, they're here again...?"

"Damn it, they really don't give us a moment to breathe."

Upon seeing the massive Pacifista, the Straw Hat Pirates immediately tensed up, staring intently at the high place.

"Hmph, so they've been discovered." Sentomaru said, looking at the Straw Hat Pirates below, "As expected of the Blood-Eyed Ninja."

After saying that, Sentomaru glanced at the PX-4 lying on the ground and said, "You bunch of bastards are really something."

"You guys actually managed to take down PX-4..."

As they were talking, Sentomaru jumped down from the sky with the Pacifista, landing precisely next to PX-4.

"That's a huge loss indeed," Sentomaru said, frowning. "The cost of building one Pacifista is equivalent to building one warship, and now one of them has been destroyed... How am I going to explain this to that old man?"

This was the first battle since the Pacifista were released, and the result... one of them was destroyed by the Straw Hat Pirates.

That's really annoying.

Thinking of this, Sentomaru looked at the Straw Hat Pirates, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

"He just said... Pacifista?"

"Is this what this Cyborg is called?"

"So..." Xi Yan frowned and said, "This thing is really mass-produced?"

According to this man, the money to build one Pacifista is enough to build a warship, which means... there's no limit to how many of these things can be built!!

With enough money, this kind of Bio-weapon can be manufactured without limit!

For a behemoth like the World Government... money is just a number!!

"Is this guy bringing a whole bunch of Pacifista to wipe us out?!" Chopper exclaimed in terror.

"I haven't seen any others so far."

"No... that's good."

Chopper breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xi Yan's words.

As long as there isn't a large group of Pacifista surrounding them, at least they still have a fighting chance.

"A whole bunch of you coming to surround and wipe you out?" Sentomaru Chopper and said, "Aren't you guys taking yourselves a little too seriously?"

He admitted that the Blood-Eyed Ninja was indeed quite powerful, but... that didn't mean he was worth so many Pacifista ganging up on!

Besides, he's already here; why would he need to bring so many Pacifista?

Besides... Old Uncle Kizaru will arrive here soon!

"You bastard, who do you think you are?"

"Just telling the truth."

And who are you?

"Big Axe!"

"Using weapons to refer to others?" Sentomaru glanced at Franky and said, "What a rude guy..."

After letting out a cold snort, Sentomaru continued, "You want to get information from me?"

Forget about it!

"I'm the man with the strongest defense in the world, and... my mouth is the tightest!"

So... I won't tell you anything!

Franky was genuinely intimidated by Sentomaru.

"You're not even going to say your name?!" Usopp asked.

"I have no interest in answering your questions," Sentomaru said coldly. "I've already said it, I'm the most tight-lipped man in the world, Sentomaru!"

"Oh, I see." Usopp Satori, "So your name is Sentomaru."

Sentomaru:???

Sentomaru was taken aback. Had he accidentally blurted out his own name?

Those despicable pirates!

Thinking of this, Sentomaru's face darkened, and he said, "Let me tell you, what I said just now was what I wanted to say, not an answer to your questions!"

Xi Yan:...

He had a feeling this guy was also a brain-dead idiot.

He kept saying he was the most discreet man, but then he turned around and blurted out his own name.

What... what is this?

'Hmm... if I ask a few more questions, might I be able to get some more useful information out of them?'

Thinking of this, Xi Yan said, "Sentomaru, right?"

"Um?"

Sentomaru, who was about to order PX-1 to attack, paused for a moment, then turned to Xi Yan and said, "Blood-Eyed Ninja, what are you trying to say?"

"What exactly is this Pacifista of yours? Who invented it?"

"I told you, I'm the most discreet man in the world, I'm not going to tell you this is Bio-weapon, developed by Vegapunk."

"Oh, so it was Vegapunk who invented it," Nico Robin Satori.

If it were that man, he really could have made something so terrifying.

After all... he was a genius scientist 500 years ahead of human intelligence!

"Forehead..."

Realizing he had said something inappropriate again, Sentomaru's face immediately darkened.

"Those despicable pirates, that's...!"

"That's what you wanted to say, right?" Merry chuckled. "We all understand."

Sentomaru:...

Is this little girl deliberately trying to annoy him?

Thinking of this, Sentomaru's face bulged with veins!

Who is Vegapunk?

"He is the world's number one scientist," Nico Robin explained. "He possesses remarkably advanced scientific and technological abilities."

"He..."

"Damn pirates, do you think I don't exist?!" Sentomaru angrily interrupted the group, saying, "PX-1, take them down!"

"Receive!"

Upon receiving the order, the Pacifista PX-1 slowly raised its hand and launched an attack on the Straw Hat Pirates not far away.

"Boom!!"

The terrifying laser attack instantly plowed through the surroundings, nearly killing Chopper.

"Ah!!"

"My clothes!"

Chopper, whose clothes had been punched with a hole, was so frightened that his eyes bulged out.

"What should we do? We don't have that much time to waste here..." Nami said anxiously.

After defeating that Pacifista called PX-4, Sentomaru and PX-1 appeared. Who Knows what else will come next?

Hearing Nami's words, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Nami, help me create a rain cloud."

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Nami paused for a moment, then without hesitation took out her Clima-Tact and began creating rain clouds for Xi Yan.

Having worked together once in the Thriller Bark, she knew exactly what Xi Yan wanted to do.

During this process, the Pacifista launched several more attacks, leaving the surrounding area in ruins.

Nami could only dodge while simultaneously creating rain clouds.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Sentomaru glanced at the Clima-Tact in Nami's hand, then looked up at the gradually appearing dark clouds in the sky, and said with a puzzled expression, "Why does it feel somewhat similar to the island-wide air conditioning system of Egghead...?"

The weather in Egghead is controlled by an island-wide air conditioning system created by Vegapunk, which changes the weather and temperature, but that system is based on a vast scientific framework.

And this woman is able to create rain clouds on her own?

Is he Devil Fruit User?

Soon, thanks to Nami's efforts, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, with occasional rumbling sounds coming from within.

Seeing this, Xi Yan said, "Luffy, you take Nami and the others and leave first. I'll take care of things here."

"Um?"

Luffy, who had just punched the Pacifista, turned to look at Xi Yan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly leave you behind to cover our retreat?"

Should Xi Yan sacrifice himself to give them a chance to survive?

He'd rather die!

"You idiot, have you forgotten about the Merry again?!" Xi Yan roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "Use your brain!"

Luffy:???

Seeing Luffy's expression that seemed to say, "What's wrong with your brain?", Xi Yan was completely speechless.

"Profound!"

"I see!"

Luffy Satori and said, "You mean Merry's...?"

"Idiot, don't say it!" Usopp covered Luffy's mouth, then dragged him away, saying, "Xi Yan, this is yours!"

"Profound!"

The others understood what Xi Yan wanted to do, so they left without hesitation with their men.

Of course, Nami was creating rain clouds as she ran.

Just then, the Pacifista who had been knocked away by Luffy rushed over, intending to intercept Luffy.

However, he had only run halfway when he found Xi Yan standing in front of him.

"I can't let you go after them!"

"Boom!!"

The incredibly heavy Whip Kick kick struck the pacifist in the abdomen, sending him flying.

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

"Isn't that Haki...?"

Sentomaru's expression turned ugly after glancing at Xi Yan, who had sent the Pacifista flying.

"No wonder you were able to defeat PX-4, it turns out one of you mastered Haki!!"

This was truly... far beyond his expectations.

He mastered Haki before even going to the New World; this guy must have incredibly high potential!

But it doesn't matter, this guy is definitely going to die here today!

"No, even without using my Haki, your Pacifista is still no match for me," Xi Yan said.

Using Lightning Release Technique, this guy can be easily put into a short-circuit state.

In a sense, I am also a nemesis of Pacifista.

Sentomaru merely sneered at this and said nothing.

Then, looking in the direction Luffy and the others had gone, he said, "You don't really think they can escape, do you?"

Even though that group of people were gradually moving away from here, Sentomaru had no intention of chasing after them.

After all... there are still two Marine Admiral on this island!

"Are you saying that Marine Admiral Kizaru will come here?"

"You actually knew that?"

Sentomaru looked at Xi Yan with some surprise. How did the other party obtain this information?

He just didn't meet his Old Uncle.

"Obtaining this kind of intelligence is not difficult for me."

"Heh, so what if you know?" Sentomaru said, "You have no idea how powerful Old Uncle really is."

"Moreover... there's more than one Marine Admiral who's come to the island!"

Upon hearing Sentomaru's words, Xi Yan's pupils constricted immediately. "More than... one person?"

What does that mean? Does it mean the World Government dispatched two Marine Admiral to kill them?

No, is it really that serious?

"Forehead..."

Sentomaru's expression immediately changed; how had he accidentally let the message slip again?

"Damn pirates, this is me..."

"Who is the other Admiral?" Xi Yan interrupted.

"I'm not going to tell you that the other person is Akainu."

"So that's it, it's Akainu..."

Xi Yan frowned; it was another unfamiliar Admiral.

What is this guy's Devil Fruit ability?

"That Akainu's ability is..."

"Don't even think about asking me another question!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sentomaru rushed in front of Xi Yan and slapped him with his palm!

"Tekkai: Soru!"

"Clang!"

The two exchanged a blow, and then Xi Yan used the power to create distance between himself and Sentomaru.

"Haki... I see. So you've mastered Haki too."

That makes sense. If this guy hadn't mastered Haki, he wouldn't have been able to detect that he was using Armament Haki immediately.

"In the New World, if you don't even master Haki, you won't even know how you died," Sentomaru said.

His Old Uncle was a Logia Fruit user, so he knew very well how troublesome these kinds of guys could be.

Unless one masters overwhelming Haki, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the opponent.

"Yes, that's true."

As he spoke, Xi Yan glanced at the Pacifista who had gotten back to their feet, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Fine, I'll just take care of you all once and for all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Yan raised his hand, and an electric arc immediately appeared in it!

"Boom!"

Under the influence of Lightning Release Chakra, the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky suddenly emitted a terrifying roar, as if some monstrous beast was lurking within them.

The terrifying sound made Sentomaru's hair stand on end.

"Lightning Release Technique, huh...?"

This thing is indeed very effective against Pacifista.

In that case, he'll have to come in person to defeat them.

With that thought in mind, Sentomaru charged toward Xi Yan.

"I don't know what you're planning, but I'll take you out first!" Sentomaru said, "Tekkai: Soru!!"

"Bump!!"

The heavy attack struck Xi Yan Xi Yan, sending him flying.

But this time, Sentomaru didn't show any joy, because he discovered... his opponent flew away laughing!!

Seeing Xi Yan protecting himself with his Haki, Sentomaru said with a grim expression, "Damn it, could it be that he's using my power to create distance?"

Just then, a terrifying roar echoed through the sky once more, and a massive figure emerged from the dark clouds!

"Boom!!"

The enormous Thunder Beast looked down at Sentomaru, its oppressive aura reaching its peak!

"Feel the power of thunder, Sentomaru!"

"Damn it, Armament Haki: Hardening!"

Looking at Sentomaru, who was radiating an aura of Haki, Xi Yan simply smiled faintly, then swung his right hand fiercely.

"Lightning Release: Kirin!"

"Roar!!"

The enormous thunder beast descended from the sky and charged towards Sentomaru.

At that moment, the terrifying brightness eclipsed even the sunlight!

The apocalyptic scene deeply affected Sentomaru's senses.

'Hateful!!'

Just at this A Matter of Life and Death, a yellow light suddenly appeared beside Sentomaru and kicked him away, sending him out of the Thunder Beast's main attack range.

"Whoosh~"

Then, the man calmly looked at the thunder beast that had appeared on his face, muttering to himself, 'Truly... unbelievable!'

"Boom!!"
