NTRing Zoro to His Face

Shisui appeared right beside the right hand Bartholomew Kuma had just reached out toward Usopp and Chopper, and a pair of Seastone handcuffs had already been locked onto that wrist.

The power of Bartholomew Kuma's Devil Fruit plummeted almost instantly, rendering it impossible for him to achieve the effects he could in his normal state.

Giving Bartholomew Kuma no time to react.

"Water Style: Water Prison Technique!"

Itachi appeared atop Bartholomew Kuma's shoulders.

Simultaneously, he unfurled a scroll to release the seawater stored within, casting the Water Prison Technique to engulf Bartholomew Kuma's head in water.

Ordinarily, this amount of water would be enough to cover an average person's entire body, but for Bartholomew Kuma, it only reached his shoulders.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tamaharu and Shisui used steel wires to pull Bartholomew Kuma's hands apart, tying them to nearby trees to ensure his paw-pads could not touch his own body, preventing any possibility of a counterattack.

"Their combat style is indeed a bit too simplistic; it's just brute force against brute force."

After confirming the capture of Bartholomew Kuma, Uchiha Tamaharu finally had the leisure to comment.

Just moments ago, Usopp, Chopper, and the unconscious little Luffy were all Shadow Clones he had transformed during Bartholomew Kuma's wide-range Pressure Cannon attack.

He had used them as bait, and he hadn't expected it to succeed.

Defeating Bartholomew Kuma was simple, but capturing this guy certainly required some effort.

As expected, one must use tactics; using such underhanded methods made things much easier to resolve.

Otherwise, the consumption of using ocular jutsu would have been far too great.

Unless absolutely necessary, Uchiha Tamaharu did not want to rely on the power of the Mangekyo, whether for himself, Shisui, or Itachi.

"It seems that genjutsu really doesn't have much effect on those with greater strength."

Shisui, for his part, was analyzing the situation.

Among them, he was the most proficient in genjutsu, followed by Itachi, while Uchiha Tamaharu actually studied genjutsu the least.

The fact that he even possessed a genjutsu-type ocular jutsu was surprising enough to him.

"These monsters have experienced countless battles and possess incredibly resilient spirits; naturally, they aren't comparable to ordinary people."

"In the Shinobi World, genjutsu is really only effective against ninjas below the level of elite jonin. Kage-level powerhouses are generally not significantly affected by genjutsu."

"Of course, you are different, Shisui. You might be able to surpass that threshold, but it is difficult for ordinary Uchiha clansmen to achieve that. One must rely on overall strength to grow stronger; relying solely on genjutsu won't work."

Uchiha Tamaharu offered some guidance to Shisui.

He wanted to prevent this guy from being too stubborn and getting stuck in a rut.

"Understood."

Shisui nodded and said no more.

But at this moment, Bartholomew Kuma began to move.

His head, still covered by the water, opened its mouth, and a flash of light slowly gathered within.

However, before the beam could be fired, Uchiha Tamaharu used a short blade to pierce directly through Bartholomew Kuma's mouth, driving it through the back of his skull.

"I forgot he was a cyborg. Even if his Devil Fruit and body are suppressed, he can still fire a Laser."

Uchiha Tamaharu said calmly after finishing the job.

After waiting a moment, seeing that Bartholomew Kuma had not died but had lost all ability to fight back.

"You two watch him; I'm going to finish things off."

"Five of you, stay and assist Shisui and the others. The rest, come with me."

Uchiha Tamaharu issued his orders.

As his voice fell, five figures appeared beside Shisui and the others.

Uchiha Tamaharu then charged directly toward the jungle, preparing to capture Straw Hat Luffy.

Dealing with enemies who have clear weaknesses and are easily exposed is much simpler.

If it were someone like Mihawk, the only way to resolve it would be through raw, head-on strength.

"Damn it, Fire Bird Star!"

Usopp was in a panic.

He hadn't expected that he would become the one with the most combat power, actually managing to help the team cover their retreat.

He fired an attack from his large slingshot, igniting the forest in an attempt to block the pursuit of CP9.

"Too slow!"

"Shigan!"

Kaku used Soru to dodge the attack and arrived beside Usopp, raising his hand to pierce the heart of the man who shared his own attribute.

"Clang!"

But his finger struck the blade of Wado Ichimonji, emitting a crisp sound.

"Sshhh."

However, at the same time, the force of the impact caused Zoro's wounds to begin bleeding.

"Go, quickly!"

Zoro said in a low voice.

"Zoro!"

Usopp hesitated, though his instinct was to run away.

But doing so would be too disloyal!

"You guys are moving a bit too slowly."

But before Kaku could make another move.

Uchiha Tamaharu walked out from the forest first.

Kaku was startled.

"What about Bartholomew Kuma?"

He couldn't help but ask directly.

"Naturally, he has been dealt with."

As Uchiha Tamaharu's voice fell.

He reappeared between Zoro and Usopp.

Zoro's pupils constricted, his free left hand preparing to draw his blade to strike at the man who dared to appear behind him.

"Chidori Current!"

But Uchiha Tamaharu released electricity from his entire body, and like an electric net, the arcs scattered in all directions.

Usopp and Zoro had no time to dodge and were struck directly by the current.

Both of them were covered in flashing sparks; Usopp fainted instantly, while Zoro's body went out of control, collapsing to the ground with only a sliver of consciousness remaining.

"I won't take the weapon that carries your conviction."

"As for the other two, I'll take them as spoils of war."

As Uchiha Tamaharu spoke, he reached down and took the black blade Shusui and the Sandai Kitetsu from Zoro's waist.

Zoro's eyes were wide with rage, but he was completely helpless.

This act of taking a swordsman's blades right in front of him caused Zoro to pass out from sheer fury.

"Don't kill them; take these two back to the castle."

Uchiha Tamaharu glanced at Kaku and said directly.

Kaku didn't dare to talk back, silently picking up the two men and heading back.

"Clan Leader, the target is located about one thousand meters to the southwest."

A member of the Uchiha Clan appeared and reported the intelligence to Uchiha Tamaharu.

Uchiha Tamaharu, carrying the two swords, headed in the direction his clansman had indicated.

"You pervert, this time I'm definitely going to beat you to death!"

Fukuro waved his fists, continuously striking at Franky.

Meanwhile, Sanji and Nico Robin were trying to find ways to deal with Kalifa, Jabra, and the others.

"Damn it!"

"I must protect everyone!"

Chopper held his 50 Beli bounty poster, preparing to get into an even bigger fight.

"Clack!"

The Seastone handcuffs fell to the ground.

The Seastone handcuffs on Rob Lucci's hands had been broken open by Kumadori; these were the two members of the group who did not possess Devil Fruit abilities.

"These small fries are truly noisy!"

Rob Lucci's eyes were cold.

Having suffered so much humiliation, he felt a desire to vent his frustration.
