"Hmm... You're Kuma!! So you also want to deal with them? In that case, I can give you face and let you execute the Straw Hat Pirates..."
Upon hearing this, Sentomaru stopped and looked in that direction, only to see a figure who looked exactly like the Pacifista Sentomaru behind him suddenly appear in the scene. The figure was holding a book and speaking to Sentomaru. Sentomaru recognized him immediately and, to give him face, handed over the power to execute Luffy and the others.
"Thank you so much..."
Thump... thump... thump...
After saying that, Kuma strode his massive, heavy body toward Luffy and his companions, lowering his head slightly as he looked down at them.
"Ugh... another one! How many of these guys are there? Why are we so unlucky?!"
Usopp overheard their conversation and turned around to see another bear-like monster appear in front of Luffy and his crew. He panicked and cried out in alarm.
"Ahem... this guy... is the real one..."
Zoro rolled over and saw that the figure was decorated with the same items as the Shichibukai Tyrant Kuma he had seen before, each holding a book and able to talk. He immediately recognized that this was the real Tyrant Kuma.
"Oh... so you're still alive. I must say, you're incredibly lucky to have survived such pain unscathed, Roronoa Zoro!!"
When Kuma saw Zoro directly reveal his identity, he turned his gaze to him and recognized him as the man who had made him take on all of Luffy's pain on Thriller Bark. He couldn't help but be surprised and said...
"Ahem... This is all thanks to your mercy..."
Zoro lay sprawled on the ground, his body limp, and spoke in a weak voice.
"In that case, if you wanted to travel, where would you like to go?"
Xiong abruptly changed the subject and said something that seemed completely unrelated, leaving everyone puzzled.
"Well..."
As Zoro was still wondering what was going on, the bear opposite him took off his right glove and slapped him with its paw.
Bang...
The sound of a soap bubble bursting rang out, and Kuma had already withdrawn his outstretched hand. Zoro, who was standing in front of him, had vanished without a trace, leaving only a wisp of air disturbed by his Extreme Speed movement.
"Uh... uh... Zoro!!"
The remaining people stared blankly at the spot where Zoro had been standing for a moment before they reacted and shouted his name in surprise.
"No need to call anymore, it's your turn next..."
call out...
After saying that, he One Flash to Chopper and the other two, and spoke to Usopp and the others who were also lying on the ground unable to get up, and then waved to them.
"No... don't come any closer..."
The three were startled by the Kuma that suddenly appeared in front of them, and then they waved their arms and screamed in terror.
"Damn it, hey, if you have a problem, come at me! Don't hurt my comrades!!"
Luffy, lying helplessly on the ground Luffy, shouted at Kuma.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
"It's too late..."
Hearing the three slapping sounds, Luo Chen shook his head and said.
Three more people were sent flying, just like Zoro had been before.
"Ah... I won't let you get away with this... Second, Gear Second!!"
Seeing his companions being sent flying in front of him once again, Luffy roared with fury, his eyes wide with rage. He then forced his exhausted body to activate Gear Second again, his skin turning red once more, and wisps of pale red steam rising from his body. Luffy roared as he charged towards him, raising his fist to knock the man down.
call out...
Bang!!
Unfortunately, Xiong had no intention of taking his attack, and once again used teleportation to move in front of Sanji, who had been knocked down by Luo Chen and was struggling to crawl out of the deep pit.
"Um... you are... cough cough... you bastard, give my companions back right now, Mouton Shot!!"
He was stunned for a moment when he saw the bear suddenly appear in front of him, then roared and leaped into the air, kicking it.
Whoosh... Bang!!
The bear ignored his attack and struck again with its paw. The sound of shattering echoed once more, and he was sent flying like his companion.
Swoosh...
"I told you not to hurt my companions!!"
Luffy Sanji had also been sent flying like his companions before him, Luffy's anger intensified, and he roared as he charged over again.
"Hey... it's like a cat playing with Nezumi. You guys don't have the strength to break free from the bear's clutches right now. Even I can't keep up with his speed. You guys, heh..."
Luo Chen shook his head and sighed inwardly.
Indeed, with Kuma's Paw- Paw-Paw Fruit ability to send anything flying, they had no power to resist. He could freely move to wherever he wanted using the Paw-Paw Fruit, and even move at the speed of light. This was all thanks to his incredibly strong physique, which was dozens of times stronger than steel. He could indeed move at the speed of light over short distances, and was not afraid of air friction.
"Hmm... what are you doing? Kuma, are you really going to let them go? These are serious criminals, how can you let them off so easily..."
Seeing Kuma's repeated actions against the Straw Hat Pirates, Sentomaru was greatly surprised and shouted sternly.
"Hmm... let us (them) go? What exactly is going on?"
Nami and her group, who were not far away, as well as Rayleigh, who was fighting Kizaru, all asked in shock upon hearing Sentomaru's words.
"Although I am Shichibukai, I am also a pirate. Your Navy has no right to interfere. What I do is my own business!"
The bear spoke to them calmly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"Tch... I knew pirates were a bunch of unreliable bastards. I didn't expect them to dare openly help them escape. Well then, I'll personally execute them..."
Sentomaru scoffed, then picked up his great axe again and ran over, swinging it to chop at Franky, who was closest to him.
"Hmm... Dangerous! Franky, get out of his way!"
Luffy and the others saw Sentomaru, they immediately exclaimed and shouted at him.
"Oh... don't underestimate me! Watch my Beans Machine Gun turn you into a hornet's nest..."
Beep beep beep beep...
Franky raised his hand, and a series of gun holes appeared on his wrist, followed by a burst of bullets fired at Sentomaru.
Swoosh...
Clang clang clang clang...
Seeing this, Sentomaru waved his hand, using his large axe to block the bullets. The bullets struck the axe, creating a series of sparks, but failed to harm Sentomaru behind him in the slightest.
"Damn it... Franky Cannon!!"
When Franky saw that his attack had failed, he opened his palm and fired a cannonball at the target.
"Hmm... Sky Walk!!"
Bang!
boom...
Sentomaru raised his great axe, preparing to rush over and finish him off, he suddenly saw a cannon flying towards him. His expression hardened, and he pushed forward with all his might.
An invisible Impact emanated from his palm, deflecting the cannonball in front of him before a violent explosion engulfed him in thick black smoke. Franky, believing his attack had worked, wore a smug expression and was about to taunt him when he suddenly heard shouts from his companions behind him.
