The Warrior of Love

"Rubber rubber——"

It sounds long, but in the real world the fight between Kuma and Jiang Liu was just a moment. When the Straw Hat Pirates who were knocked away saw that Kuma was finally injured, their spirits were immediately lifted. Luffy even ignored his injuries and launched continuous attacks on Kuma.

Powerful rubber fists rained down upon the bear's massive body - yet the bear remained almost motionless.

"let me!"

Franky rushed forward, and as a cyborg, he took out a real "iron fist" and leaped forward with all his might to hit Bearface head-on.

"do not stop!"

Sanji instantly appeared behind the bear and struck the tyrant in the back of the head with a powerful kick.

"Don't let him react in time. Don't let him make another move!"

"Dual sword style--" Zoro's two swords cut through the air.

"Hook!"

Two naked arms made of flower petals draped over the bear's neck.

At the same time, a stream of black smoke hit the bear's face accurately, but it was Usopp's sniper.

Even Chopper and Brook took decisive action. One transformed into an orc form and charged with all his strength, while the other pulled out a rapier from his crutch and flashed through the air.

However, all these attacks fell on the bear, but could not shake his powerful figure that stood like a king kong.

"Are you satisfied?"

The gentle voice made everyone gasp: So many attacks have no effect?

Under the horrified gaze of Luffy and the others, Kuma stretched out his hands and clapped them lightly, the balls of his two hands collided together——

boom!

The huge bear paw air pressure expanded rapidly with the tyrant as the center, sweeping in all the Straw Hat members like a tornado and throwing them away mercilessly.

With just one strike, a supernova pirate group was defeated!

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are worthy of their reputation!

Buzz—the air vibrated slightly, and the bear's figure disappeared again, and when he reappeared, he had caught up with the Straw Hat Boy.

"Luffy!"

The strange thing is that it was not only the bear who caught up with Luffy, but also Jiang Liu who seemed to have anticipated Luffy's flight route and rushed here in advance.

Kuma and Jiang Liu, one who moved so fast that it was almost instantaneous, and the other who predicted the move in advance, caught up with Luffy almost at the same time.

Staring at the bear in silence, Jiang Liu grabbed Luffy and rolled over, just in time for the two of them to avoid the bear's attack.

"Oh?"

Xiong was slightly surprised. You know, he looked like a slow-moving type, but actually his attack speed was incredibly fast. Although the wave of his hand just now seemed simple, most supernovas could not dodge it.

Jiang Liu, a previously unknown guy, was able to predict his actions. Whether it was due to his observation Haki or the ability of the fruit, it was amazing to be able to do this.

After dodging the bear's attack, Jiang Liu had already entered the tyrant's arm range, in other words, a nearly zero-distance fighting area.

"Crack!"

Jiang Liu naturally would not miss this opportunity. The Sun Wheel Sword drew a cold arc and engraved it deeply on the tyrant's body.

"Incredible," Xiong said calmly, his facial expression barely changing.

Jiang Liu clenched his teeth: The feel is wrong, it's too shallow!

This time, he was not fully prepared to enter the state of transparency, so ordinary slashing attacks were unlikely to be effective against him.

"pity……"

Again, the tone was extremely calm, and Xiong had unconsciously assumed a posture of "embracing" Jiang Liu, with his two paws pointed inward at him, and the translucent air pressure suddenly expanded.

"Pressure Cannon o Duet."

The two shock waves from the left and right acted on Jiang Liu at the same time, crushing all the bones in his body - this scene seemed to appear before his eyes.

See what the future holds!

——The world seemed to stop at this moment, and a phantom-like scene flashed before his eyes. After dispelling the phantom ripples, Jiang Liu had just saved Luffy.

With his brows slightly furrowed, Jiang Liu knew that it would be difficult to use a slashing attack at this moment, but he still swung the Sun Blade firmly.

Clang——it’s too shallow indeed!

The feeling was still the same, just as he had felt in the foreseen vision, his slashing attacks had little effect on the bear. This body was like steel that had been tempered a thousand times... perhaps it really was steel.

Unless you cultivate your Armament Haki to a high level, you won't be able to cause enough damage to the bear!

However, Jiang Liu will never allow himself to be bullied!

"Transparent World o Second Degree!"

The blade flashed, and the blade, which had already exhausted its power, turned a wonderful arc and passed through the invisible gap in the wind pressure.

Zheng!

When Kuma just put his arms around his chest, Jiang Liu had already activated the "Razor Fire" and disappeared from his attack range while holding Luffy, leaving only an inaudible sound.

"Huh?" Xiong was slightly stunned. Looking at the hideous sword wound on his chest and the exposed steel structure, his expressionless face was slightly moved.

It was really amazing. In the first half of the Grand Line, there was actually someone who could develop his Observation Haki to such a level? Not only could he severely injure himself, but he also had enough energy to save the Straw Hat from his own hands?

For a moment, the bear hesitated.

He originally wanted to capture Jiang Liu to eliminate the navy's reason to cleanse Shampoodi, but the ability shown by Jiang Liu made him hesitate.

In Kuma's opinion, Luffy, who possesses the blood of Dragon and the spirit of freedom, will sooner or later become the spark that changes the world and lead a revolutionary wave of change. However, he also knows that it is difficult to change anything with personal strength and awareness. The spark must have enough supporters around it to form a prairie fire.

This is also why in the original work, Kuma not only saved Luffy, but also considerately flew the Straw Hat Pirates to a place suitable for their growth - companions who stick together are the most important factor in becoming the Pirate King.

And in Kuma's eyes, Jiang Liu is just like Brook, a companion that Luffy has gained in his new adventure.

Perhaps, we should change the way of dealing with it——

"Oh my, why are you here, Bear?"

A frivolous and lazy voice sounded in the chaotic battlefield, and yellow flashes gathered into a vicissitudes of life middle-aged man.

"Don't you need me to take action anymore?"

Chapter 90: The Worst Crisis

"Kizaru." Xiong looked expressionlessly at the admiral who suddenly broke into the battlefield. Outsiders had no idea what he was thinking.

"Huh? Are you hurt?"

Kizaru's tone was strange, and it was unclear whether he was surprised or mocking.

"Are there any of these kids who can hurt you?"

He had already taken a rough tour of the Sabaody Archipelago. Although the area of ​​this island was not small, for him who could transform into light to move, any island, no matter how big it was, would be too narrow.

In just half an hour, he defeated all the supernovas that had not yet evacuated the island.

However, he found the Fallen Marine Drake among these supernovas... For some reason, he needed to let Drake go, and in order not to be too conspicuous, he had to release the other supernovas as well, and only left the Pacifists for a symbolic cleanup.

Although they are human weapons made to imitate bears, if these newcomers can't even beat the pacifists, there is no need for them to go to the new world and die.

"Young people nowadays have strange abilities. Not only the supernovas, but even the villains who attacked the Celestial Dragons have special abilities? So scary, so scary... Do you need help, Bear?"

Xiong was silent, and Kizaru didn't care. He looked at the Straw Hat Pirates who were struggling to get up and still hadn't given up resisting, and then turned his gaze to Luffy and Jiang Liu who were standing side by side.

Eyes narrowed slightly...

Monkey oDo Luffy?

Another troublesome guy.

It is said that the deepest prison in the Impel Down Prison is filled with the most heinous criminals, but none of them are executed, but are imprisoned instead.

The reason is that even the World Government has some fear of them, either thinking that they are only valuable when they are alive, or that it would be troublesome if they died.

And Kizaru now understands the mood of the World Government: whether it is catching or killing, it is very troublesome...

Really, I shouldn't have come if I had known. I thought he was just coming out for a stroll to show off the majesty of the navy, but first Drake came and now Monkey and Luffy.

I just want to get the full attendance pay, there's no need to make things so difficult for me - Kizaru pouted, his expression looked even more obscene.

However, even though he criticized her in his heart, he was, after all, one of the three admirals of the navy and a symbol of justice. No matter who the other party was, as an admiral, he had no reason to let him go.

Even if it would get him into trouble, he would still do his duty.

"The Straw Hat Boy Luffy, and the Big Villain... Who is this person?"

Kizaru thought back: "Yuanshan Jiangliu? Hmm, this name is difficult to pronounce."

Jiang Liu was not surprised that his identity was exposed. After all, he had nothing to hide. With the intelligence capabilities of the World Government, it was enough to investigate Jiang Liu thoroughly within a few hours after the incident.

Of course, this is only Jiang Liu’s superficial information. No matter how powerful the World Government is, it is impossible to know Jiang Liu’s “origins”.

"The Admirals and the Shichibukai, this is really troublesome."

Jiang Liu supported Luffy and forced an ugly smile with difficulty.

"Hey, Straw Hat boy, you're probably going to get caught here this time. That guy is Kizaru, one of the admirals. He's much stronger than the bear."

“Oh… that’s bad!”

Even Luffy, who was usually fearless, started to panic.

"Now how to do?"

Even when facing Crocodile, Enelu, and Moria, Luffy never seemed to say such discouraging words.

But today he truly realized the gap between himself and these strong men, and realized that there was no possibility for him and his group to win!

The reason why we were able to defeat the two Shichibukai we encountered before was because they had certain weaknesses and relied too much on the power of their fruits.

And now, Luffy and his friends are facing Bartholomew Kuma, who has almost no weaknesses, is extremely powerful and can be said to be invincible!

Although Kizaru has not made a move yet, as he bears the title of admiral, it should be correct that he is on the same level as Aokiji.

If the two of them attack from both sides, the Straw Hat Pirates will undoubtedly be destroyed here immediately.

Fortunately, Kizaru didn't seem to have any intention of taking action himself right away. After all, he was not the only naval warrior who came to the Sabaody Archipelago this time.

"Oh!"

A burly figure suddenly fell from the sky, smashing a huge hole like a meteorite, stirring up countless dust and sand, and the Straw Hat people were shocked again.

"Is there someone else coming?!"

This time, a guy dressed in a rather strange manner came out from the dust.

In terms of body size, he is much taller and stronger than ordinary people, but not as big as a bear. He looks like a sumo wrestler. He seems extremely strong but does not give people a feeling of being bulky.

He was neither wearing a navy uniform nor the iconic cloak of justice. All he was wearing was a large red bellyband that wrapped his entire body. He looked like a performer who had just escaped from a circus.

His outfit was ridiculous and funny, but the aura he exuded didn't seem to be a joke at all.

A strong man, someone who is far stronger than an ordinary naval officer!

His weapon was a double-edged axe that was taller than an ordinary man, and it gleamed with an awe-inspiring cold light in the sunlight.

"Hmm!" Luffy gritted his teeth. The situation was becoming increasingly difficult. Even someone as optimistic as him couldn't help but panic.

"Old man, didn't I tell you to contact me in time when we get to the island?" said the newly appeared big man.

His voice wasn't particularly strong, and he didn't look ferocious, but his tall stature was intimidating.

Kizaru narrowed his eyes and said with a grin, "Sorry, sorry, Sen Taomaru. It's really tiring to fight those newcomers. They are all ability users, and it's very troublesome to clean them up."

"It's obviously you who forgot."

Zhan Taomaru curled his lips and looked towards the battlefield.

"Mr. Xiong... is here too. Isn't this scene too exaggerated?"

In the current situation, Kuma, Kizaru, and Sen Taomaru formed a triangle, surrounding the Straw Hat guys and Jiang Liu.

Yes, if it is just to deal with some new pirates, even if they have the title of supernova, this lineup is too exaggerated.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Admiral Kizaru, and himself... Zhan Taomaru frowned.

"Even if the Celestial Dragons are being attacked, there's no need to mobilize so many troops, right?"
