One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Big Bear smiled gently, raised his free right hand, and lightly patted Bonnie's head, saying with a smile, "Is that so? Then we'll definitely succeed today."

"Really?" Bonnie's eyes lit up.

"Yes, because we have made ample preparations." Big Bear waved the fishing net in his hand.

"That's right! We're well-prepared, we're sure to catch a sea king this time! Let's go fishing!"

Bonnie jumped for joy, waving her little hands with great confidence.

As the group walked to the beach and were about to board an old fishing boat, the smile on the big bear's face, who was holding a fishing net, suddenly disappeared, and a red light flashed in his left eye.

He turned around abruptly and looked in a certain direction behind him.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Bonnie asked, puzzled, noticing Big Bear's unusual behavior.

Big Bear didn't answer. He quickly grabbed Bonnie off his shoulder, raised his fleshy right hand, and slapped the bewildered Bonnie.

"Bonnie, live happily. Please forgive your father for not being there to watch you grow up."

He uttered those words quickly, without hesitation, and slapped down with his right hand.

A bear paw-shaped air shield quickly formed beneath his palm, enveloping the bewildered Bonnie. With a soft pop, the air shield carrying Bonnie soared into the air and vanished from the bear's sight in a flash.

"Daddy?" Bonnie stared wide-eyed at the bear as it hurtled through the air, disappearing from sight. A wave of unease and sorrow washed over her, and tears welled in her eyes. "Daddy!"

After slapping Bonnie away, before the two bearded men following behind him could react, Big Bear struck again, slapping them both away with two more blows.

Having done all this in the blink of an eye, he looked at the island with a blank expression.

In front of the church not far away, a tall human-shaped outline suddenly protruded from the trunk of an old tree that had existed for hundreds of years. Then, the mottled bark exploded, and amidst the flying wood chips, a green-haired figure emerged from the trunk, staring at the bear with an ugly expression.

"Damn it, I'm too late. Bartholomew the Bear, you have some nerve!"

As the green bull strode in, various flowers, grasses, and trees sprouted from the ground around him and grew rapidly, instantly transforming the open space in front of the church into a sea of ​​flowers and a forest.

"Green Bull," Big Bear uttered.

The two faced off for only a moment before simultaneously launching attacks on each other.

"So solemn and abhorrent!"

With a wave of his hand, Green Bull caused the flowers, grass, and trees on the ground to swell in the wind. Countless black vines and sharp spikes shot into the air, piercing towards the bear. Towering trees stretched and twisted, like rapidly moving giant pythons, writhing their thick bodies to coil around the bear. At the same time, his body expanded, instantly transforming into a gigantic tree-man tens of meters tall, and he punched the bear's head.

The bear clasped its hands together, and with a humming sound, the air within a radius of several hundred meters was compressed, instantly converging into a fist-sized ball of light, which shot out and rushed towards the swarming vines and tree trunks.

"Bear Paw Impact!"

The compressed air balloon exploded, unleashing a powerful shockwave that blasted the surrounding vines and trees into countless fragments.

He flashed up from the debris, his right fist wreathed in dark, domineering energy, and he punched Green Bull's giant fist.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Green Bull's massive arm, several meters long, shattered piece by piece under the bear's punches. To Green Bull's astonishment, the bear punched him in the face, causing him to grunt and fly backward with blood streaming from his nose. With a loud crash, he smashed into the ancient church behind him, causing it to collapse.

"Pressure cannon!"

Having landed a successful blow, Big Bear pressed his advantage, leaping high into the air and shoving his hands at Green Bull, who was lying on the ground. Bear paw-shaped air balls flew out under his thrust, raining down on Green Bull like a curtain of clouds.

"asshole!"

Green Bull wiped the blood from his face, scrambled to his feet, and slammed his hand down. "Pierce! Yargiman Spear!"

"Boom!"

The ground beneath the bear suddenly exploded, and a mangrove tree with a diameter of tens of meters burst forth from the soil, like a long spear piercing the sky. With a loud bang, it struck the bear's chest, causing blood to spill from the corner of his mouth, and he was launched into the air like a cannonball.

"Restraint!"

Ignoring the barrage of pressure cannon fire coming at him, Green Bull grabbed at the air, and countless vines and tree trunks swarmed out from around him, shooting into the air and frantically wrapping around the flying bear.

The bear, its eyes glowing red, was quickly wrapped up in a large number of vines and turned into a giant dumpling. But before Green Bull could rejoice, he let out a low growl and pushed his arms outwards. His monstrous strength exploded, and the vines and tree trunks wrapped around him burst open and fell off his body.

Having broken free of his restraints, the bear slapped his back with his paw, distorting the air beneath his fleshy hand. A tremendous force then propelled him forward, making him hurtle like an arrow towards the green bull.

"Pressure Sprint!"

He raised his right fist high again and punched Green Bull in the face.

"Forbidden Tree People!"

Green Bull roared, and countless black tree burls crowded out and grew on his body. On his right arm, countless tree burls piled up and became enormous, like a giant battering ram, which he smashed down on the charging bear.

"Boom!" The two fists, one large and one small, collided violently in mid-air. This time, Green Bull's giant arm did not shatter under the bear's fist. His lower body transformed into a thick tree trunk, which sank into the ground and continued to grow, carrying him as he withstood the bear's fist and slammed the bear, who was still in mid-air, into the ground.

"Die!" Green Bull pressed his advantage, unleashing massive, tree-like arms that rained down from behind him.

"Bear Paw Impact!"

The bear's emotionless voice echoed from the shattered ground. The next moment, a powerful shockwave exploded on Green Bull's face, shattering the surrounding tree trunks and sending Green Bull flying backward, coughing up blood again.

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

The green bull roared in fury, and countless seeds fell from his body to the earth, turning into endless trees that grew wildly, constantly entangled the bear, piercing, binding, and whipping his massive body.

However, Green Bull suddenly realized that he couldn't defeat this small Shichibukai in front of him.

This Bartholomew's Bear was far more troublesome than he had imagined.

His powerful physique and domineering aura almost made him think he was facing that freak Barrett again.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, a puzzled voice suddenly came from afar.

"Huh? Is this the church where Big Bear and Bonnie are? Did I go to the wrong place? Sigh, I'm getting old, I can't even get lost in such a close place."

"It seems we haven't gone to the wrong place; this is the direction of the church."

"You must have gone the wrong way. Where is there a forest around the church? Look at these big trees, they must have taken many years to grow. It's a really nice forest. If we cut down these trees and sold them, we could make a lot of money and then we'd have money to buy food."

Those were several old, weak voices, interspersed with occasional coughs, which made both the bear and the green bull, who were facing off, change their expressions.

Green Bull's face was filled with cold killing intent, while Big Bear's face showed panic.

As he punched and smashed the vines surging towards him, he shouted in the direction the sound came from.

"Don't come any closer! It's dangerous here! Get out of here!"

At the edge of the distant forest, several hunched-over old men with wrinkled faces heard the bear's anxious cries and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I think I heard the bear's voice."

"What is he saying? Is he calling us over?"

"What's that sound? It's so noisy. Is he cutting down trees in the forest?"

“Let’s go take a look. Bonnie said this morning that they were going fishing. They can’t have caught anything so soon, can they?”

Several elderly people, supporting each other and with hopeful expressions on their faces, walked into the forest.

"No! Don't come any closer! It's dangerous!"

Big Bear's eyes widened. He fearlessly broke free from the surrounding trees and vines, punched Green Bull away, and charged towards them.

"Heh heh, stupid! You dare to get distracted while fighting me?"

Seeing the panicked bear, Green Bull sneered disdainfully. With a clench of his fist, countless vines wrapped and compressed around him, transforming into a spiraling spike that shot out and pierced through the unsuspecting bear's body with a soft thud, entering through his back and exiting through his chest, lifting him off the ground.

"Life-giving!"

Green Bull was overjoyed. The vines that had pierced through the bear's body grew rapidly inside him, frantically absorbing the bear's life force. In just a few breaths, the bear's burly and tall body shrank considerably, becoming withered and emaciated.

But he still rushed up to the elderly people and swatted them away before they could react.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after doing all that.

But by then, it was too late to fight back against the Green Bull behind them.

A few minutes later, the bear, whose life force had been drained by the green bull, was captured and taken to the warship.

Three days ago, in the Kingdom of Nilbas in the South China Sea, at the base of the revolutionary army.

With a loud bang, Sabo punched through the thick wall in front of him. His fist, which was not wrapped with Haki, was rubbed raw and bloody by the hard stone, but he seemed oblivious. Tears instantly blurred his vision, and a beast-like growl came from his throat.

"Luffy! Luffy! No! This isn't real! This isn't real!"

He roared, grabbed his hair, knelt on the broken stones, and screamed in agony.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe Luffy... he's really dead!"

"Sabo." Kera looked at Sabo, who was crying and screaming in agony, with a worried expression. She wanted to comfort him but couldn't say anything.

Robin and Sanji stood frozen in place, listening to the information about Expo Island coming through the Den Den Mushi, their eyes filled with tears that flowed like broken kites from their eyes.

"The Red-Haired Pirates, except for Shanks, are all dead. The Straw Hat Pirates, except for Issho, are all dead, including their captain Luffy. Expo Island is destroyed by a mysterious pillar of light. Admiral Bluescale and the Devil's Heir have disappeared. The Beasts Pirates are wiped out. Kaido is dead. Hero Garp is dead..."

"It has been confirmed that Beckman, Straw Hat Luffy, and Kaido all died at the hands of Admiral Rorschach, and Marine hero Garp was killed by the Devil's Heir..."

The others, such as Ivankov, Reiju, and Beatrice, were all stunned and unable to contain themselves, shocked by the series of information transmitted through the Den Den Mushi.

Dorag, dressed in a black robe, sat silently in his chair, his face hidden in shadow beneath his hood, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Rorschach! Rorschach! I'm going to kill you! I swear, I'll kill you!" Sabo's painful and furious roar came from ahead.

Then came Kella's exclamation, "Sabo!"

Overwhelmed with grief, Sabo coughed up a mouthful of blood, collapsed, and fell into a coma.

Ivankov quickly stepped forward and checked on him.

"He's fine, he's just unconscious, don't worry too much, Kella."

Ivankov sighed, "Sabo is too grief-stricken. He lost Ace and Luffy one after another. It's no wonder he fainted."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the silent Dragon.

Ivankov knew that Dorag's grief at this moment was probably no less than Sabo's.

Sabo lost two brothers, while Dragon lost both his son and father.

Ivankov clenched his fists, unable to suppress the question in his mind, "Rorschach, why did you do this? Why were you so cruel? You shouldn't be this kind of extreme person. Did I really misjudge you back then?"

On this day, a strong atmosphere of grief enveloped the entire revolutionary army's garrison, lingering for a long time.

The following day, as Sabo, Ivankov, and the others were all ready to head to Elbaf to retrieve Luffy's body and inquire about what had happened on Manbo Island, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out in the sky. Three bear paw-shaped air shields, each enveloping a human figure, flew in from afar and crashed into the open ground in front of them.

"It's Big Bear's air cannon!"

Ivankov was shocked when he saw the figure lying in the bear paw-shaped pit.
