Chapter 225"Sentomaru?"Bonney was visibly stunned when she saw the newcomer, and her struggles lessened.She knew Sentomaru.Many years ago, when she was gravely ill and seeking medical treatment everywhere, she lived with Kizaru, Sentomaru, and a genius scientist named Vegapunk for about six months.That brief period was one of the few warm memories from her bleak childhood.They were friends, weren't they?"What exactly happened to my father?!" Bonneyquestioned Sentomaru with a choked voice, as if grasping at a lifeline."Bonney, you know me."Sentomaru planted his giant axe on the ground, put his hands on his hips, and struck a proud pose: "I am the most tight-lipped man in the world!"Zoro impatiently clicked his tongue:"Looks like they're enemies too. Then I'll just cut them all down."He made a move to step forward."Wait!"Bonney quickly shouted, understanding Sentomaru's personality, "Just wait a moment!"Sure enough, after declaring himself the most tight-lipped, Sentomaru's mouth began to twitch uncontrollably, as if he had something he couldn't hold back. He struggled as if fighting an instinct, but in the end, he couldn't resist and spoke like a machine gun:"They are not your father, Bartholomew Kuma, but mass-produced human weapons, Pacifista, created using your father's genetic blueprint combined with top-tier technology! This is their first deployment! Since there are too many pirates gathered here, it's a perfect opportunity to test their combat capabilities!"This is their first deployment! Since there are too many pirates gathered here, it's a perfect opportunity to test their combat capabilities!"He paused, seemingly wanting to shut up, but his mouth opened uncontrollably again:"These things cost as much as a large warship and possess astonishing combat power that surpasses ordinary pirate crews. They are the World Government's ultimate weapon for sweeping the seas and dealing with pirates like you!""Weapons?"Bonney was thunderstruck, standing frozen in place, even forgetting to struggle."You actually turned my father into a weapon?!""I don't know the exact process,"A complex expression flashed across Sentomaru's face. He tried hard to keep his mouth shut, but eventually sighed, "But the one thing I do know is that your father voluntarily accepted the modifications."Voluntarily?Bonney fell completely silent, her face drained of color.Impossible!Absolutely impossible!How could Father willingly turn into such an emotionless fighting machine?Why?She had written so many letters, why had none of them been returned?Countless questions and immense sorrow instantly overwhelmed her."There might be many hidden reasons, but right now, you can't block our way!"Zoro's gaze refocused on the Pacifista, radiating killing intent.Nami also gripped her clima-tact.The most important thing now is to get back to the ship.The fact that Pacifista were blocking their way during what was supposed to be a trade meant that...Had the deal fallen through?"Merry, can you contact Sanji and the others now?""Yes, they are all…"As the Klabautermann, Merry could naturally contact her companions on the thousand sunnythrough the going merry, but the next second, her expression changed drastically: "Oh no! Pacifistahave appeared at the thousand sunny too!""Oh no! Pacifista have appeared at the thousand sunny too!"Nami's heart sank: "It seems the trade isn't going to be smooth after all. Are the Marines planning to capture us all at once?"It wasn't just the Straw Hat.The Marine clearly wanted to reap even more.Pacifista blocked the Supernovas' retreat."It seems we can't leave without defeating them."Urouge hugged his large, prismatic lead pencil, maintaining his strange grin, "Then this little monk will go first!""I'll join too."Law stepped forward, standing on Urouge's other side, his right hand forming a loose grip as the invisible ROOM space quietly expanded."I also want to test the strength of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."Hawkins was a man of few words but fierce action, striking directly.He drew the long sword from his waist; its blade quickly became entwined with strange straw, extending and lengthening, transforming into a flexible and sharp straw whip.Straw Man's Hand Sword!The straw whip, like a swimming venomous snake, pierced towards the Pacifista's chest with a fierce whooshing sound, incredibly swift!Clang!With a crisp clang, the tip of the straw whip seemed to hit indestructible steel, leaving only a faint white mark on the Pacifista's chest's special material, emitting a tiny wisp of smoke, unable to even pierce the outer skin.The Pacifista's massive body was only pushed back a tiny step by this force."Very strong defense."Hawkins said gravely, a newfound seriousness in his tone.Upon being attacked, the Pacifista's scanner-like lens on its face flashed red, seemingly locking onto its target.It spoke emotionlessly and slowly:"Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law, bounty 200 million Berries.""Magician, Basil Hawkins, bounty 249 million Berries.""Mad Monk, Urouge, bounty 108 million Berries."After confirming the targets, the Pacifista slowly removed its right-hand glove.Not far away, Vivi and Robin encountered the same situation."Sister Robin, look at his hand!"Vivi, sharp-eyed, immediately noticed the difference.The real Kuma had soft, cute pink paw pads in his palms, like those of cats and dogs, but the Kuma before them clearly had a gun barrel-like structure in the center of its palm.And that gun barrel was rapidly charging, gathering golden light.Whoosh!A laser beam shot out from the Pacifista's palm without warning, its speed far exceeding the limits of normal human reaction, heading straight for Hawkins, who had just attacked.Boom!"Laser?" Hawkins exclaimed.The laser accurately hit Hawkins's location, erupting in a dense cloud of dust.However, the moment the laser shot out, Law and Urouge had already split left and right, launching their attacks!Urouge charged from the left, clutching the huge prismatic pencil, wielding it with powerful swings that cut a sharp 'sky' (heaven) character in the air, the final stroke carrying immense force as he slammed it fiercely into the side of the Pacifista's head.Meanwhile, Law on the right let out a low shout:"ROOM: Command Stick!"A Devil Fruit worth five billion Berries naturally possessed extraordinary abilities.The Ope-Ope no Mi could cut anything.But the Ope-Ope no Mi's invisible cutting force, when applied to the Pacifista, actually failed to cut it cleanly!Chapter 314: Kizaru Rushes Back, Other Admirals Approaching"Very special material, it's really hard."Law frowned, surprised that his ability was thwarted.This usually meant one of two possibilities:Either the opponent possessed extremely powerful Armament Haki covering them, or their body structure was mixed with special substances like Sea Stone that could counteract Devil Fruit abilities.Clearly, Law's ability development had not yet reached the point where he could cut anything.He recalled some unpleasant memories.For example, a certain guy whose entire body was covered in Armament Haki."Highly offensive, but ineffective."At this moment, the dust cleared, and Hawkinswalked out unharmed, a straw doll substitute on his arm slowly turning to ash.Meanwhile, somewhere in Sabaody Archipelago, a normal man was smoking all over, looking as if he had been hit by a laser.Hawkins maintained his usual placid expression, calmly stating, "Be careful, his attack is a laser, and it's very fast."Bang!Urouge had found an opportunity and landed a full-force blow squarely.The immense force caused the Pacifista's head to tilt, and its entire massive body uncontrollably toppled sideways, with a clear electrical spark and smoke rising from the struck area on its face.At this moment, the downed Pacifista, just as its body was about to fully hit the ground, actually stood back up, its body material not at all resembling that of a normal person.It ignored the damage to its head and, with a backhand slap accompanied by a whistling wind, struck at Law, who was closest to it.Law: "??"Meanwhile, on the thousand sunny docked at the harbor.The Klabautermann, Merry, had already relayed information about the Pacifista to Sanji and the others on the ship through her connection with the vessel.As well as the orders given by Luffy, the Captain.Pacifista?Mass-produced human weapons?Upon hearing this news, Franky was not scared; instead, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly struck his signature pose: "SUPER! Who made this? I absolutely must meet this scientist with such technological prowess!""SUPER! Who made this? I absolutely must meet this scientist with such technological prowess!""Now's not the time to be excited, Franky!" Usopp's legs were trembling slightly. "We have to hold out until Luffy and the others return!"Whoosh!The Pacifista on the deck wouldn't give them time to chat. It extended both arms, palms aimed at Sanji and Brook, instantly unleashing deadly laser beams!"Yohohoho! What a fiery welcome!"Brook drew his cane-sword, nimbly leaping and dodging.Franky was about to move when he saw the Pacifista suddenly open its mouth, a thicker beam of energy condensing within it.Oh no!"Franky!" Sanji exclaimed.Boom!A thick laser cannon directly spewed from the Pacifista's mouth, instantly engulfing Franky's location and triggering a violent explosion."Franky!"Usopp and Brook exclaimed simultaneously.
