【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 371 Strange Enemy

Everyone looked at the bear's actions in confusion "What does he want to do?"

"Can his attack bounce off the atmosphere..." Robin murmured as he looked at the wounds on Franky's body.

"This is called a pressure cannon. It uses the speed of light to bounce off the atmosphere, creating shock waves that can penetrate the human body!" Xiong said, and immediately launched more attacks at everyone. "Push the pressure cannon!!"

"Get out of the way!" Qi shouted immediately, moving closer to the bear's body while dodging the attack and attacking him, but his attack was completely bounced off by him. This guy's ability was too troublesome and his speed was too fast.

Qi gritted his teeth and looked at Kuma. This was the second unbeatable strong man they had encountered since their voyage. They were still too weak. Luffy could no longer force himself to fight. The skills that guy used when fighting Moria had already put a great burden on his body. From the use of Gear Second again, he could see that Luffy was already forcing himself. He had to find a way to get rid of this Shichibukai as soon as possible.

"Ki, be careful!!" Luffy immediately warned when he noticed that the bear suddenly appeared behind him and attacked him, and at the same time dodged and kicked the bear. "Rubber rubber... jet whip!!"

As Kuma used his left and right arms to block Luffy and Ooal's combined attacks, Sanji quickly approached and kicked him in the face "Scum!!"

"Sanji's attack was not bounced off by the meat ball, so his skull must have been shattered by Sanji's kick!" Usopp shouted excitedly, but the next second he saw that the guy was still motionless, but Sanji retreated, his feet seemed to be trembling.

"Blackfoot Sanji...that's you!"

As the bear was about to approach Sanji, Usopp immediately attacked the bear "Phoenix Planet!!"

"Sniper King, I think you're just undeserved..." Xiong said as he deflected the flames with his palms. Then he raised his hands and began to compress the air around him, making it smaller and smaller. "The government's order is to eliminate you all..."

"So much air compressed into such a small piece..." Nami looked at the air in the bear's hand in surprise.

"The reaction force of so much air will definitely produce a strong shock wave, forming a bomb effect..." Robin added with a frown.

"Bomb!? Does that mean he is making a bomb!?" Usopp said in horror.

"I can let you go! As long as you hand over Straw Hat Luffy." Kuma looked at the Straw Hat Pirates standing in front of him and said expressionlessly, ready to release the bomb in his hand at any time. "Come on...hand over the Straw Hat!"

"We refuse!" This was everyone's answer without hesitation.

"Bear Paw Attack!!"

After the huge explosion, everyone was knocked unconscious except for three people.

Qi stood up, holding the pipe in his hand tightly and blocking the Tyrant Bear with a grim expression. Zoro bit the Wado Ichimonji again, holding the knife in both hands, standing beside Qi panting, his sharp eyes always staring at the bear. Sanji stood on the other side of Qi with his head down, a bent cigarette in his mouth. After taking a puff, he took it away and looked up at Tyrant Bear expressionlessly.

"It seems that you are the main force of Straw Hat Luffy." Kuma looked at the three people blocking his way and said slowly, "I can let you go as long as you give me the head of Straw Hat Boy."

"Don't even think about it!" Qi said, and immediately flashed to the side of the bear and dealt him a heavy blow.

At the same time, Sanji kicked the other side of the bear's face, with fierce armament color wrapped around his leg.

"Lion Song!!" Zoro swung his sword and rushed towards the center of the bear.

They planned it well, but they didn't expect the bear's body to disappear before their attack could reach it, and appear directly behind them the next second. The attack came so fast that they didn't even have time to dodge before a huge laser blast appeared.

"Ahem...what are you?" Zoro looked at the bear in shock.

"Like I said, I'm a cyborg, completely different from Cyborg Frankie. I'm called a pacifist, a human weapon the government hasn't yet completed," Xiong explained. "The developer is the government's brilliant scientist, Dr. Vegapunk. It's said his scientific prowess will remain unmatched even after 500 years."

"Are you going to take Luffy's head no matter what?" Zoro asked, breathing heavily.

"That's the biggest concession." The bear stood in front of Zoro.

"I understand. You can take it! But please let me take my head instead of him! I hope you can forgive me!" Zoro sat up with a firm look in his eyes. "Although I am not very famous now... sooner or later I will become the world's number one swordsman. You won't suffer any loss if you take it!"

"Zoro, you're such a fool." Qi panted and smashed hard at Tyrant Bear. This time, he didn't have time to bounce back, which was good. Looking at the large number of wires bursting out of the bear's shoulders, Qi grinned. One of his arms couldn't move, so at least his fruit ability wasn't that difficult to deal with. Qi took a breath and continued to speak unfinished, "How could Luffy agree to let you die in his place?"

"Luffy must survive!" Zoro looked at Qi firmly. He knew of course that Luffy would not agree, but this was the only way he could come up with. If it could allow Luffy to survive, he was willing to pay any price.

Xiong looked down at his broken shoulder expressionlessly. The force was indeed unexpected. Xiong looked at the tightly grasped water pipe in Qi's hand. "Why would you use this weapon?"

Qi looked at Tyrant Bear in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly asked his enemy a question. "I don't know what you want to ask, but using a water pipe has been a habit since I was a child."

"Fire Fist Ace is Straw Hat Luffy's brother." said Kuma.

"What do you want to do?" Qi frowned and looked at Xiong who suddenly said this.

"I'll give you a chance. You just need to answer a few questions." Xiong looked at Qi, who looked alert, expressionlessly. "I'll give up on taking Straw Hat Luffy's head after this."

"That's provided your problem won't harm Luffy." Qi glared at Kuma and clenched the pipe in his hand tightly, his fingertips turning white. Now he really didn't know what this guy's intentions were.

"You have no right to make demands." Xiong said bluntly, "Fire Fist Ace is Straw Hat Luffy's brother."

"That's right." Qi glared at Tyrant Bear in dissatisfaction.

"How many brothers does he have?"

Qi frowned at Xiong, wondering why he was asking that, but he still answered, "Three."

Zoro looked at Qi in surprise. He always thought there were two. Luffy actually has three brothers?

This answer was a little unexpected for Kuma. He thought that Dragon was so concerned about the execution of Fire Fist Ace because he was Luffy's brother, his other son, but it was a little surprising that he had more than one brother.

"How do you know all this?" asked the bear.

"Because I am one of them." Qi said with a smile, actually a little impatient.

"If you were to travel, where would you like to go?" asked the bear.

"We'll sail everywhere together," Qi replied seriously.

"Well, have a nice voyage," and with that the bear left, having achieved what he wanted, especially with a few people who were ready to risk everything to fight him.

"What on earth does that Shichibukai want to do?" Zoro asked in confusion, looking at the place where Kuma disappeared.

"I don't know." Qi breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the ground. "Whatever he wanted to do, it's over now."

"Indeed, everyone is exhausted." Zoro also sighed, fell back, and quickly fell asleep.

"Ahem..." Sanji woke up again and sat up, looking around, wondering, "Where did that Shichibukai go?"

"He's gone." Qi replied with his eyes closed, then he frowned when he thought of the question asked by the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
