I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"General Higuma?"

Zoro put the sword back in his mouth and assumed the starting stance for the Three-Sword Style.

"I set sail to defeat the world's number one Hawkeye Mihawk. Since Sig is not dead, it is only right that I should defeat him... not you."

Robin also stopped talking. She didn't continue discussing the escape, but stared at Higuma with a complicated expression. She crossed her arms in front of her, already in a fighting stance.

Sanji didn't say anything. He lit a cigarette, puffed out smoke for a while, and then slapped his right foot on the ground. Suddenly, his right foot burst into flames.

"It seems our captain isn't planning on running away..."

As we all know, the principle behind Diable Jambe is friction-induced fire, just like Luffy's Fire Fist Gun, Zoro's Demonic Aura Ashura, and the Mink Tribe's electric current, which is actually static electricity generated by friction. It makes perfect sense.

"I should run...run away..." Usopp muttered to himself, taking two steps back. Then, gritting his teeth, he took the large slingshot from his back and aimed it at Higuma.

"But when I was young, I was a man who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Mountain Bandit King and suppressed the Fifty-Six Emperors. As his former comrade-in-arms, how can I run away now..."

The sun bear secretly shook its head.

"It's good for young people to have fighting spirit. But pointless fighting spirit will only lead to death."

The sun bear emitted a series of clicking sounds as its body rapidly expanded to a three-meter-tall paper-drawn martial arts stance.

"The new world is still too far away for your so-called supernovae."

Higuma ignored the Straw Hat Pirates' sudden burst of strange fighting spirit and instead looked around.

At this moment, the eyewitness, Sentomaru, had already been sent away by him.

But the other actors, Rayleigh and Bartholomew Kuma, have not yet arrived.

"Forget about Rayleigh, where's Kuma? Is he too embarrassed to come over since he sees General Sun Bear here?"

Chapter 1110 Bear and Sun Bear 2-3

Logically speaking, plot twists usually occur during times of crisis, which may explain why the two actors have not yet arrived.

Perhaps, like the CP0 on Luoshan Island back then, they are simply observing from the shadows, waiting for their chance to make their appearance.

Be mindful of your actions even when you are alone!

Higuma was jolted awake. Even though there seemed to be no one watching, as an actor on stage, he should still do his job and not give himself away.

Thinking this, his gaze toward Luffy and the others turned cold.

"Ultimate Kill - Gunpowder Star!"

"Weapon in the left hand!"

Franky raised his left hand, and a cannon muzzle quietly emerged from his palm. The cannonball and Usopp's gunpowder star were launched simultaneously.

At the same time, three pairs of arms suddenly sprouted from Higuma's back. This was Robin's joint lock technique using the Flower Flower Fruit, seemingly intended to lock his shoulders.

But as Robin exerted force with her arms, Higuma's body changed shape directly with the movement of Robin's arms, like a clay sculpture.

"Paper Painting & Soft Clay"

This move is getting closer and closer to the original Tom Cat's possession. His three-meter-tall, muscular body is like a lump of soft mud, able to change shape at will.

Even though he stood still, he easily avoided Usopp and Franky's attacks by changing the shape of the possessed body.

"Rubber Jet Machine Gun!"

After activating Gear Second, Luffy's speed increased dramatically compared to his normal speed. His arms blurred for a moment and then disappeared. His punch speed was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye. At first glance, it seemed as if Luffy's arms had disappeared.

Meanwhile, Higuma's body was still swaying in the wind. His body possessed unimaginable flexibility, unlike that of a human, and his skin was even tougher than steel.

The machine gun fire, which was too blind to be seen with the naked eye, was mostly dodged. Even when it did hit, it made only soft thuds, as if the machine gun had not been driven back.

At the same time, a green figure approached from the side like a ghost.

"Three-Sword Style: Demon Slash!"

The instant the three swords converged at a single point, Higuma swiftly pointed a finger at them.

A crisp sound rang out.

The immense force caused all three swords to tremble, Zoro's hands were split open, he could barely hold the swords, and blood was flowing freely from his mouth.

The next moment, Higuma grabbed Zoro's twin swords with his large hand. He ignored Luffy's machine gun fire and casually tossed Zoro, swords and all, into the air.

There, Sanji was about to unleash his Diable Jambe when he saw Zoro being thrown towards him. He quickly pulled back his right leg, which was only halfway through the kick, and was hit head-on by Zoro. The two of them flew more than ten meters away and rolled on the ground behind the curtain.

At this moment, a massive shadow enveloped the sun bear.

"Rubber Giant Pistol!"

Seeing that Gear Second was ineffective, Luffy activated Gear Third, his giant right fist expanding to over ten meters long as he inflated, rapidly enlarging in Higuma's field of vision.

"Giants?"

He raised his hand and slapped away the giant's fist that was hurtling through the air. This slap caused Luffy to lose his balance and be pulled off course by his own enormous right fist.

The next moment, he was spinning around, his gigantic fist was grabbed by Higuma, who then swung him around like a meteor hammer, sending Chopper, Brook, and the others who were about to rush up flying.

The next moment, Higuma pointed his right hand, which resembled a gun, at the wrist of the giant fist.

With a flick of the finger, the needle-like force instantly punctured the giant's skeletal balloon.

laugh----------

Luffy is deflated.

As a large amount of gas was released, his body shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon, and in just a few seconds he became a tiny Luffy, only thirty or forty centimeters tall. Higuma grabbed him by the back and lifted him up.

At this point, Luffy was still experiencing the aftereffects of Gear Third.

After being pierced by Higuma's finger, he shrank in size and was basically unable to fight.

"Luffy!"

Nami and the others exclaimed in surprise, the battle ending much faster than they had anticipated.

To be honest, they were all exhausted after being repeatedly confronted by two pacifists and Sentomaru.

"ended."

Higuma raised his right hand, once again using his fingers as a gun, and aimed it at Luffy from afar.

"It seems that the story of Straw Hat Luffy is coming to an end now."

He cleared his throat and shouted loudly.

At the same time, I silently began to read the message:

1, 2, 3...

When the count reached three, a sudden change occurred.

Where would you like to go when you travel?

A deep, calm voice suddenly rang out.

Before anyone knew it, a figure as large as a bear appeared in front of Zoro.

As the user of the Paw-Paw Fruit, Kuma has developed the fruit's power to an unbelievable degree.

Using the fleshy balls on his palms, he can deflect anything, even the air, to achieve teleportation.

His appearance is exactly the same as the pacifist robot, the only difference being that he is holding a Bible.

The bear's face was expressionless, and his voice was calm. He slowly took off his gloves, revealing a pair of paws with fleshy pads.

"It is the real me!"

"Not a pacifist robot, but a real Shichibukai!"

Zoro's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to get up, Bartholomew Kuma slammed down with his paw.

puff----

His figure vanished instantly, leaving only a small whirlwind rising from the spot.

"Zoro?"

Where did Zoro go?

Before the Straw Hat crew could figure out what was going on, a white figure flashed by like lightning, kicking Higuma's wrist and sending the little Luffy he was carrying flying five or six meters away.

Rayleigh arrived a little later than Kuma. His expression was grave, and his gaze lingered between Kuma and Sun Kuma, clearly sensing the thorny nature of the situation.

"Rayleigh? One ill-intentioned fellow after another."

Higuma's expression darkened.

He rubbed his wrists and frowned slightly.

A slight bruise appeared on the spot on my wrist where I was kicked.

His current physical defense relies entirely on the reinforcement of his entire body with iron blocks, plus the hardened skin created by the Life Return modification.

But he had only been copying homework for three weeks, and Riley's hasty kick had already left bruises on his body.

"Warlord Bartholomew Kuma, I've never heard of you. You were involved in this operation."

Higuma asked in a deep voice.

However, the bear ignored him.

Whether it was Admiral Higuma's shouts or Rayleigh's appearance, he showed no concern whatsoever, simply flashing his figure and swatting away the Straw Hat Pirates' crew members one by one.

The bear's Paw-Paw Fruit has been developed to an unbelievable degree; he can use his paws to deflect air and achieve near-light-speed spatial teleportation.

In terms of movement speed alone, perhaps only a few Devil Fruit users like Kizaru can surpass him.

Boom!Boom!

The Emperor Engine erupted instantly, and Higuma dodged Rayleigh's slashing sword by sidestepping it, his fist slamming into the side of Rayleigh's sword.

But in the blink of an eye, Rayleigh slightly flipped his longsword, aiming the blade at Higuma's fist again.

With a clang.

Rayleigh paused slightly, then took a few steps back, facing off against Sun Bear from a distance.

His sword was already stained with blood.
