Spaden and the Kuma clashed violently once again.
Compared to Kuma's effortless control, Spaden grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He discovered that this Shichibukai was actually stronger than Jack the Drought.
It possesses terrifying strength like a giant, domineering rebound force, and even unpredictable teleportation speed.
Damn it!!
Are all the Shichibukai really that strong?
If every one of the Shichibukai were stronger than Jack the Drought.
No wonder the Shichibukai, along with the Four Emperors and the Navy, are considered the three major powers of this sea.
How strong must His Majesty the King of Toki, who could easily defeat Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, be?
But why didn't he sense the same danger from His Majesty as he did from Aramaki and Yi Xiao?
It seems His Majesty has been hiding his true strength.
Spaden immediately felt ashamed that he had underestimated Wang Shi.
His Wang Shi could easily deal with the Sand Crocodile, while he was suppressed and beaten by this tyrant. That's the difference.
He needs to become stronger.
I was already quite satisfied that I could hold my own against Jack the Drought, but it's still not enough.
If Shichibukai, how will he protect His Majesty and become the strongest fist in the Wang Shi?
He will definitely continue to grow stronger and live up to the title of [Fist of Goa].
"Um?"
Tyrant Kuma discovered that Spaden had become even stronger, forcing him to take the matter seriously. At the same time, his opinion of Spaden rose even higher.
Not long after.
Yixiao, an imperial Marquess with a wide range of Observation Haki, actually arrived at the battlefield outside the city before Aramaki.
The moment the smile appeared, a serious expression crossed Kuma's usually expressionless face.
Yesterday, observing from a distance, I didn't notice how terrifying this Marquess of Falling Heavens was.
But now, experiencing it up close, he knew that this blind Marquess was extremely powerful.
"Brother Yixiao, this guy is Shichibukai. He says he's been ordered to test our strength."
Spaden felt much more relaxed when he saw Yixiao appear; the two of them were more than enough to suppress this Shichibukai.
Compared to Aramaki, who always emphasized the title of Marquess, Yi Xiao preferred a more easygoing approach, so Spaden called Yi Xiao "brother".
"Shichibukai?"
Yi Xiao's expression was strange. He didn't sense any evil aura from the Kuma; instead, he sensed kindness and gentleness.
"Marquess of Falling Heavens, Yixiao, let me see your power."
The Kuma teleported away from Spaden's battle and launched a fierce attack on the blind man, Yixiao.
Although he felt that Yixiao was quite dangerous, he had no choice but to take action in order to complete the World Government's mission.
"Why are you attacking me? Is it really just to test our fighting strength?"
With a smile, he instantly drew his Jidao Huoxian and unleashed the Press-Press Fruit's power, pinning the teleporting Kuma to the spot and steadily blocking Kuma's violent punch with his sword.
"Boom!"
The entire ground caved in by a meter, and the surrounding ground was thrown up by the shockwaves of the collision between the sword and the fist, only to be forcibly pressed back down by gravity.
"So strong!"
For the first time, a look of gritted teeth appeared on the Kuma's expressionless face. With Ursus Shock from his left hand, he forced Yixiao to withdraw his sword and retreat.
Meanwhile, the Kuma took the opportunity to break free from Yixiao's gravitational pressure.
"You are better than that Marquess."
Kuma teleported to a short distance away and quickly assessed Yi Xiao's strength.
It seems there's a significant gap between the three Marquess.
At that moment, countless dark vines shot towards the Kuma at lightning speed.
"That bastard dared to make a move in the Goa Empire!"
Aramaki's voice was a mixture of anger and excitement. Had a formidable enemy finally appeared?
This gave him a chance to have a big meal.
The Kuma stomped its thin legs on the ground, instantly assuming a horse stance, and continuously unleashed Ursus Shock with both hands, clashing with the countless vines of the Aramaki.
In an instant, a series of explosions rang out.
"Haha, not bad!"
'Forest Giant!'
Aramaki quickly transformed into a wooden giant and unleashed a powerful punch at the Kuma.
Meanwhile, vines from all sides continued to relentlessly attack the Kuma.
"The Logia Woods-Woods Fruit ability is indeed troublesome!"
The Kuma didn't confront the bear head-on; it immediately teleported away.
Seeing the Ursus Shock that could pierce his hand, and the black vines that remained after the explosion, Kuma knew that Aramaki's Armament Haki was definitely no less powerful than his own.
This is a Marquess whose talent is no less than a smile!
It seems that the two former Marquess were indeed very powerful.
Spaden, which joined later, was a step behind.
The fierce battle here drew the attention of Dragon, who hadn't yet left the Goa Empire.
At the same time, a golden Kirin Lion carried Wang Shi and quickly flew into the sky.
"Isn't that the Tyrant Kuma from the Sorbet Kingdom?"
Aramaki, who hailed from the South Blue, immediately recognized this notorious South Blue wanted criminal.
"Brother Yixiao, quickly restrict his teleportation, I'm going to stab him to death!"
Aramaki immediately became interested; a wanted tyrannical king could be a perfect stepping stone for him to become famous.
When he returns to the South Blue, he will terrify the kings of the South Blue.
"Marquess Aramaki, he said he is Shichibukai."
Spaden reminded Aramaki that to take down a Shichibukai, the decision needed to be made by His Wang Shi.
"You, a wanted tyrant, have actually become Shichibukai?"
Aramaki immediately slowed his attacks, forced to suppress Aramaki urge to hunt Shichibukai.
Without Wang Shi's order, he dared not act rashly.
However, as long as Wang Shi gives the order, he will kill not only the Shichibukai, but also the kings of Affiliated Nation.
Anyway, His Majesty the Wang Shi has already taken down one of the Shichibukai and exiled so many kings, so he's still doing fine.
Even the World Government didn't cause trouble for Wang Shi; at most, they issued warnings, and more warnings.
"I am acting on orders from the World Government to test the strength of the One Emperor and Three Marquesses."
Kuma spoke expressionlessly, directly shifting the blame back to the Five Elders.
However, being surrounded by the three Marquess still put Kuma under immense pressure.
He was certain that if he didn't possess the Paw-Paw Fruit ability, he could leave at any time.
Any other Shichibukai to carry out this mission would be doomed.
Even Hawkeye Mihawk, the World's Greatest Swordsman and Shichibukai, would have no hope of victory if surrounded by three Marquess.
"So this was a test of combat strength. It's a pity your bounty is too low. If your bounty were over a billion, I could be promoted to Duke today!"
"Didn't our Emperor defeat a Shichibukai? He then sent the World Government to the New World to recruit a pirate with a bounty of over a billion, and then they'll test us."
Aramaki grinned. He knew that Tyrant Kuma was quite strong, but the bounty was a bit low, which made him a little unhappy.
But the next moment, Yixiao suddenly looked up at the tree not far away.
A figure in a green robe silently appeared on the tree branch.
Yi Xiao gripped the Jidao Huoxian tightly. The newcomer was extremely powerful, the strongest person he had ever encountered!
"Hey, hey, hey, what's this guy doing here?!"
Aramaki stretched his neck, lifted his sunglasses, and stared wide-eyed at this suddenly appearing dangerous guy, even the toothpick at the corner of his mouth fell off.
This is the bastard who strikes fear into the hearts of countless kings of the Affiliated Nation!
