One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

Chapter 159 Big Bear Seriously Injured?

The agent was deathly pale, his entire body covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, as if he had been soaking in water.

After hearing Kilo's warning, he nodded without hesitation, his eyes filled with fear.

"I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"Stop torturing me!!"

Kiro nodded, signaling the other to continue, and coldly stared at Shamlock not far away, his entire aura locked onto the other, wary of the other's escape.

Under the questioning or serious gazes of the crowd, the CPO agent hurriedly spoke up: "I—we're here to arrest Ginny, the commander of the Revolutionary Army's Eastern Army!"

"A Celestial Dragon has specifically requested her, saying he wants to take her back as a concubine—"

Seeing the bear's gaze suddenly turn icy, he quickly changed his words, saying, "To be a wife!"

Kiro's gaze remained icy, his tone carrying a hint of warning, "Tell Kuma what kind of scum that Celestial Dragon is, and what will happen to Ginny after she's been captured—"

He threw the CPO agent with force towards the bear.

CP0 didn't dare to be negligent. He glanced at Ginny, who was standing there dumbfounded, and told Big Bear everything he knew.

After hearing the CP0 agent's answer, whose face was filled with fear, the usually calm and collected Big Bear trembled slightly, exuding a terrifying and oppressive aura.

After receiving an approving look from Kiro, Big Bear suddenly exerted force with his right hand, crushing the CP0 member into a pulp.

After walking a few steps to Kilo's side, Big Bear gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with extreme complexity and lingering fear.

After taking a few deep breaths and barely regaining his composure, his voice trembled slightly, "—Kilo, thank you."

"If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid—"

He didn't say anything more, his eyes reddened, and his right fist clenched tightly.

Kilo didn't say much, but just gave Big Bear a look.

"Now that things have come to this, Shamrock is in your hands."

He sheathed his sword and silently returned to Ginny, Robin, and the others, protecting them behind him.

With no worries about the future, the bear's eyes revealed an unprecedented gloom and murderous intent as he stared intently at Shamlock, who was not far away and looked as if facing a formidable enemy.

"You World Government—how dare you?!"

"Just to satisfy a Celestial Dragon who lusts after beautiful women?!"

"How dare you lay a hand on Ginny?!"

After taking a few more deep breaths, Big Bear managed to calm his disordered breathing, and an undisguised, icy killing intent appeared in his eyes as he looked at Shamlock.

The killing intent was so fierce and resolute that even Kiro, who was not far away, took notice.

To this day, he has never seen Big Bear display such terrifying killing intent.

"Go to hell!!"

The bear's figure suddenly blurred and disappeared, rushing towards the waiting Shamlock at lightning speed.

The two figures turned into afterimages and disappeared from the spot in an instant. Only a huge roar could be heard from not far away, and the earth trembled and rumbled.

Recalling the look that Big Bear had given him before the battle, Kiro sighed.

That means: Don't interfere.

He turned to look at the dazed Ginny and sighed.

"It's alright, Ginny, everything will be alright now."

A figure wielding a sword flew backward at a terrifying speed that broke the sound barrier, crashing through several mountain peaks in its path before finally sinking deep into a giant crater several meters in radius.

"Cough cough————"

Shamlock wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and had just sat up when a large shadow fell over his eyes.

At this moment, Xiong's body was covered with sword marks, and blood was trickling down his body, but he was completely unaware of it. His right hand was wrapped in a light pink halo, and the powerful and terrifying force even tore the air in front of him.

Feeling the strong wind rushing towards him, and the pure killing intent that was as explosive as a volcano precisely locked onto him, Shamrock's face darkened, and his rapier was instantly drawn.

Unlike before, as the sword tip traced a perfect arc, three ferocious and enormous heads surged out of the blade, spewing out a savage and brutal sulfurous aura.

This rapier can summon Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell!

The three-headed dog was enormous, its entire body adorned with exquisite dark flame cloud features, its aura as if it had emerged from hell, like three black lightning bolts rushing towards the bear from different directions.

Faced with the overwhelming attack, the bear did not back down, but instead slapped the air in front of it with its other hand.

"boom""

The air was instantly sucked out, as if it had been extremely compressed and then exploded again.

A visible shockwave spread out from in front of the bear's paws, sweeping across everything around it at an astonishing speed.

The three heads of Cerberus were struck simultaneously, as if hitting an invisible wall. Its fangs, burning with hellfire, shattered and broke into countless fragments.

Shamlock frowned, but instead of retreating, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

The next second, as a pentagram teleportation array appeared beneath his feet, he instantly appeared two meters behind the bear.

The rapier was already drawn, its blade wreathed in a dark, domineering aura, and it pierced straight towards the back of the bear's neck.

Big Bear didn't turn around, but his other hand was already waiting there, precisely grasping the blade of the rapier.

His other hand was already poised to strike, carrying a tremendous force that made the space tremble, and suddenly slammed towards Shamrock's face.

Upon seeing this, Shamlock's pupils trembled slightly, but it was too late to sheathe his sword.

His eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he loosened his grip on the sword hilt.

The rapier began to deform the moment it was released, and a ferocious, enormous body, far larger than before, broke free from the blade. Three heads, exuding the smell of sulfur, simultaneously opened their blood-red maws and aimed at the bear that was so close at hand.

If the bear dared to take this attack head-on, it would probably be badly injured even if it didn't die!

However, just when Shamrock thought that the bear was going to give up the attack, the bear did not dodge at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and, ignoring the three-headed hellhound in front of him, poured all his strength into his right fist.

"!??"

Upon seeing this, Shamrock's composure vanished completely, replaced by a barely perceptible hint of panic in his eyes.

Does this mean they're going to take us both down with them?!

His thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, but there was no time for him to react.

The next moment, a terrifying shockwave, like a natural disaster, suddenly spread outwards—

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

The terrifying energy ripped the surrounding ground off the ground, and the surrounding clouds also moved away from the area at an incredible speed.

After the shockwave completely dissipated, a huge crater hundreds of meters wide appeared, and a blood-soaked, weak bear stood at the bottom of the crater.

Shamrock had vanished without a trace, leaving only a pool of blood in his wake.

A moment later, Kiro, Ginny, and the others who had rushed to the scene rushed to the side of the badly injured bear.

"Big Bear, are you alright?" Ginny asked, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Big Bear, whose body was almost entirely covered in wounds. Her voice trembled.

Hearing the familiar voice, Big Bear looked up and smiled gently.

"Don't worry, Ginny, I'm fine—"

"As long as you're alright—that's all that matters—"

Before he could finish speaking, Big Bear could no longer hold on and collapsed, unconscious.
