The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

"As expected of Barrett, who is known as the 'Devil,' his reaction speed is truly frighteningly fast." Somaz Saint grinned. "Unfortunately, he's still a little slow."

Almost at the same time, a sudden change also occurred on the other side of the warship!

The porthole in the cabin where the bear was located suddenly shattered!

A green figure suddenly appeared!

It was Huang Mu, or rather, he should now be called "Green Bull"!

However, he now has a strange tattoo on his arm that reads "Shallow Sea Contract"!

This signifies that he has received some kind of "blessing" and has officially become a "Hail of the Gods"!

Green Bull's target was clearly Lippo, who was being protected by Bear, or more accurately, the "Mother Spark" they were escorting!

Unfortunately, the bear reacted even faster!

In the instant Green Bull launched his attack, the glove floated into the air, and Bear's right hand was already raised.

The air in the palm was compressed instantly, forming a highly condensed white bear paw-shaped shockwave!

"Pressure cannon!"

"call out!"

The compressed shockwave shot out at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect, hitting Green Bull in the chest just as he had regained his footing and hadn't had a chance to launch an attack!

"boom!!!"

Before Green Bull could even mount an effective defense or transform into an elemental form, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward at an even greater speed than when he arrived.

He crashed through the cabin wall again and fell awkwardly onto the deck, unable to get up for a while!

"Libo, be careful," the bear calmly warned, its massive body already positioned to block the breach in the cabin.

But Lipo reacted even faster!

The instant the bear attacked, Moonwalk was activated, transforming into a white afterimage that instantly passed through the broken porthole.

He appeared behind Green Bull, who had just struggled to his feet on the deck!

He had somehow already grasped a pair of carrot-shaped daggers in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he stabbed at Green Bull's neck!

The movements were clean, swift, and ruthless!

But then, as if anticipated, a rapier came swiftly from the side, precisely blocking Lippo's fatal blow!

"Clang!!!"

Sparks flew everywhere!

Libo felt a numbness in her wrist.

Without hesitation, using the recoil, he performed several incredibly agile "moonwalk jumps" in mid-air and quickly retreated back to the bear's side.

He landed steadily, his expression turning unusually serious, his furry ears perking up warily.

She twisted her hands, turning the carrot dagger into a reverse grip, her gaze fixed on the person who had blocked her way with the knife.

It was another member of the Knights of God—Saint Figarando Shamrock!

"Tsk, two troublesome guys have arrived." Lipo licked her slightly dry lips. "Looks like someone doesn't want us to get home safely."

The bear's calm gaze swept over the green bull on the deck, Saint Somaz at the bow, and Saint Shamrock.

"Hmm." He responded, raising his hands to reveal his enormous palms, which possessed the power of flesh balls.

"Protect the mother flame and clear away obstacles."

Chapter 564 The Bear's Decisiveness!

"Three people."

Barrett slowly stood up amidst the dust and smoke on the beach. Although the kick he had just received was heavy, it was far from enough to render him unable to fight.

"Looks like this escort mission... isn't so boring after all!"

He twisted his neck, making a teeth-grinding "crack" sound, and instead of anger, his face revealed an almost ecstatic, ferocious, and excited smile.

"The World Government's watchdog has finally been unleashed to bite?"

"Tsk." Somaz, standing on the warship's railing, let out a disdainful sneer, her long, orange-yellow curly hair fluttering in the sea breeze.

"A former pirate scum, discarded by the times, a failed attempt to be subdued by Tianzhen, dares to act so arrogantly in front of the Knights of God..."

He hadn't finished speaking!

"Whoosh!"

Barrett's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

A sudden burst of speed generated purely from terrifying physical explosive power!

It was so fast that it left an afterimage in the same spot!

Almost at the same instant Barrett moved, Somaz Saint also moved, reacting extremely quickly, and swung his arms forward sharply!

"Thorns - Thrust!"

Countless sharp, black thorns, gleaming with Armament Haki, burst forth from beneath the skin!

The thorns grew wildly, intertwined, and formed an impenetrable wall of thorns, which shot out towards the direction from which Barrett was charging!

“Sorry…” Barrett’s roar and his fist arrived at the same time!

"I don't like watching magic tricks!!!"

Without any attempt to dodge, he clenched his right fist, which was covered with a dark Armament Haki that had been refined to the extreme, and threw a punch in a simple, brutal, and unpretentious manner!

"BOOM!!!!!"

The fist bursts forth with power!

That incredibly resilient thicket of Armor-Painted thorns, upon contact with the fist...

Starting from the very front, it crumbled and exploded inch by inch!

Fragments of shattered thorns mixed with domineering lightning scattered everywhere!

At the same time, the force of the punch did not diminish, passing through the collapsing thorns and solidly striking Somaz's crossed arms as he blocked!

"boom!!!"

Both are defensive techniques, but their effects are completely different!

Somaz felt a sharp pain in his arms, his bones cracking as he was blasted high into the air from the warship's railing by the punch!

"Holy crap?!" Somaz was shocked; the opponent's pure power far exceeded his expectations!

But even faster than the silent curses came... Barrett's pursuit!

A huge crater exploded on the beach beneath his feet, and he took off vertically, catching up with the backward-flying Somaz once again.

With a large hand, he grabbed the head with long, curly hair!

“Old man! So arrogant.” Barrett grinned maliciously, pulling Somaz Saint’s head close to his face.

"Are you trying to say... you're stronger than Gern?!"

No answers or responses were needed; his arm muscles bulged, and he swung Somaz high into the air!

"If so..."

"Then you'd better...show me properly!!!"

Barrett mimicked the move he remembered from his one-on-one fight with Garp, channeling all his strength into his arm.

He slammed the captured Somaz down hard onto the solid ground below!

"Falling into the sea (imitating Garp's move)!!"

"boom!!!!!!!"

A deafening roar!

Somaz was slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater more than ten meters in diameter!

The violent shockwave spread out in a ring, blowing away all the surrounding trees and rocks, and the entire island seemed to tremble!

The smoke and dust billowed into the sky like a mushroom cloud!

On the other side...

The bear's calmness and wisdom were on full display in an instant.

He moved almost at the same moment Barrett launched his attack and Somaz was sent flying backward.

His left hand suddenly rose, but instead of striking the enemy, it struck... himself!

Five times in a row, almost overlapping, a barely audible "pop" sound rang out!

Kuma activated one of the most overpowered abilities of the Paw-Paw Fruit: swatting it away!

Target: The warship beneath our feet, carrying the core sample of the "Mother Spark" and a large number of ordinary marines!

The entire massive warship, along with the critical equipment inside, vanished into thin air amidst a strange distortion of the air!

With incredible precision, the bear slapped it hundreds of nautical miles away, into the waters patrolled and monitored by Mihawk!

That area is currently known to be relatively safe and has top-tier combat support.

Firstly, this ensured the safety of the "mother spark," and secondly, it prepared the naval personnel on board for combat of this level.

There's only so much they can do; the kind bear will always instinctively protect everyone.

For a time, the battlefield was completely isolated!

The bear, having completed all of this, did not pause for a moment.

Those calm eyes swept across the battlefield, locking onto the direction of the deep crater where Barrett had smashed Somaz.

"Poof!" He teleported again!

He appeared next to Barrett, who had just completed his "oceanic fall" and was standing on the edge of the pit, grinning maliciously.

Barrett wasn't even surprised, as if it had been planned all along.

The bear's paw, covering its paw pads, gently pressed against Barrett's back.

"If you're going to travel, where would you like to go?" Xiong asked calmly, but his actions were swift and decisive.

"You decide what to do!"

The flesh ball ability is activated!

Barrett's body was precisely propelled by the bear, using a combination of immense kinetic energy, towards the bottom of the pit.

Somaz, who had just struggled to his feet and was still dizzy, was slapped away!

"boom!!!"

The already terrifying kinetic energy was amplified even further by the bear's abilities!

Barrett was accelerated to its maximum speed and slammed into Somaz a second time with an even more ferocious attitude!

The bottom of the pit exploded again with an even more violent impact and dust!

Caught off guard, Somaz let out a muffled groan, his injuries clearly worsening!

Having delivered this brilliant assist, Xiong teleported again, returning to Libo's side where she was waiting in full force.

Calmly looking ahead at Green Bull, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and Shamrock, whose eyes were serious.

From the moment the warship was knocked away to the moment it assisted Barrett's second strike, the entire process was smooth and precise, taking no more than half a minute!

The development and application of Devil Fruit abilities are terrifying!

"Uncle Xiong, well done!"

“Libor, you are older than me, this is not the right way to address you.”

Bonnie won't recognize her.

"Don't worry about it! Bonnie and I are talking about our own things! Ginny doesn't care."

Libo grinned, twirling the carrot dagger in her hand in a beautiful flourish.
