Chapter 226The smoke cleared to reveal Franky, covered in black smoke, standing up with a pained expression: "Damn it, this guy's cannon is a laser!"I really want that kind of ability too!But he immediately became excited: "I will definitely invent it!"For now, I'll just have to use less advanced weapons.Weapon Left: Coup de Vent!His hands, equipped with thin tubular pipes, released a powerful air cannon blast toward the Pacifista!Boom!The two attacks collided in mid-air, triggering a small-scale explosion.However, the Pacifista's firepower was clearly superior. Its mouth opened and closed incessantly, and laser beams bombarded Franky like a rapid-fire cannon, forcing him to scramble away, dodging in a panic on the deck."Hey, hey, hey, that's too underhanded, how is this attack unlimited?"Franky's own Coup de Vent only had one shot!Isn't this just bullying?Not only could its mouth fire continuously, but the Pacifista's hands were also constantly moving, firing lasers to block Sanji and Brook's paths.Diable Jambe!Sanji's legs spun at high speed, the friction turning them bright red.Having learned about Armament Haki and Observation Haki beforehand, combined with day and night training, Sanji's Observation Haki had also awakened.Relying on his excellent Observation Haki and speed, he wove through the dense network of lasers, constantly closing in on the Pacifista.Diable Jambe: Grill Shot!Seizing a gap, Sanji moved like lightning, instantly appearing behind the Pacifista and delivering a powerful kick to its side.After the attack, a mark resembling a barbecue scorch remained on the Pacifista's hard body.Bang!The heavy blow made the Pacifista stagger, but it seemed completely unaffected. While being attacked, its palm had already turned, facing Sanjiwho was right in front of it, and a bright light flared in its palm."Oh no!"Sanji's pupils constricted; at such close range, it was almost impossible to dodge completely.Whoosh!The laser burst out, and although Sanji tried his best to dodge, his left shoulder was instantly pierced by the beam.He groaned, retreated rapidly, landed in the distance, and clutched his bleeding shoulder, clicking his tongue with an ugly expression.As for Usopp.He had been using various strange plants and special projectiles to harass from a distance.But whether it was Gunpowder Star, Sticky Grass, or Impact Dial, hitting the Pacifista was like tickling it; it couldn't break through its defense at all."Damn it, I have to try this!"Usopp gritted his teeth, a look of determination on his face.He was also a brave warrior of the sea!He couldn't always hide in the back!Taking advantage of the moment the Pacifista was distracted by Sanji and Franky, Usopp gathered his courage and rushed forward, pulling a huge shell from his tool bag.The Impact Dial obtained from Sky Island!"Take this, Impact Dial!!"Usopp used all his strength to press the Impact Dial hard against the Pacifista's chest.Thud!With a dull, loud thud, the powerful impact made even Usopp's arms go numb, and he was sent rolling backward by the recoil.However, the Pacifista only swayed, and the metal plate on its chest dented slightly.Its defensive power was monstrous.And this attack completely attracted the Pacifista's attention.Its cold scanning lens locked onto Usopp, and the laser in its palm began to condense again.Usopp looked at the increasingly bright light, terrified out of his wits. He wanted to run, but found his legs weak, and it was already too late!"Usopp!"Sanji and the others were furious, but couldn't save him in time.Just at this critical moment."If you were to go on a trip, where would you like to go?"Hearing this sudden, unfamiliar voice, Usopp, whose consciousness was a bit blurred from fear, subconsciously looked up.He saw a huge figure.Slap.A bear paw flew over.The next second, in the astonished eyes of everyone, Usopp's figure disappeared into thin air.As for this suddenly appearing figure, its appearance was exactly the same as the Pacifista.Sanji, Franky, and Brook all widened their eyes.Is this the real Bartholomew Kuma this time?!"What did you do to Usopp, you guy!"Sanji, filled with rage, ignited Diable Jambe again, leaped up, and kicked hard at Kuma's arm!However, his foot seemed to kick against an invisible barrier, emitting a dull thud. The huge recoil sent him flying, and he stumbled a few steps upon landing."What exactly is your ability?"Kuma slowly turned to Sanji, his eyes hidden in the shadows seeming to lack focus, "Black Leg Sanji, where do you want to go?""Give Usopp back first!"Sanji didn't stop moving his feet, trying to close in again, "I'll have a hard time explaining this to our idiot Captain!"Kuma was silent for a while, as if processing some information, then slowly said: "But you are out of time. I am out of time too.""What do you mean?"This question just flashed through Sanji's mind.Kuma's figure, like a ghost, appeared before him without warning, and the huge, black-gloved palm pressed gently against Sanji's chest."Goodbye, Black Leg Sanji."With a flash of light, Sanji's figure, like Usopp's, instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving no trace behind."Sanji-san!"Brook exclaimed, thrusting his cane sword rapidly, but stabbed at nothing.Franky roared and rushed up: "You bastard! Give our friends back! SUPER Franky Iron Fist!"Kuma didn't dodge or avoid, letting Franky's iron fist hit him, emitting a dull sound, but he remained unmoved.Immediately after, his palm lifted again."Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri!"Brook charged at high speed, his sword tip pointing straight at Kuma's back.However, it was as if Kuma had eyes on the back of his head; his other hand swiped backward casually.Two consecutive flashes of light passed, and Brookand Franky also disappeared from the deck one after another.In the blink of an eye, only the first Pacifista that boarded the thousand sunny remained.That Pacifista seemed to have a program malfunction due to the appearance of the original, standing dazed in place, the light of its scanning lens flickering, unsure of how to react.Kuma slowly raised his head and said: "Continue the mission, eliminate other pirates."His control authority was the highest in the Sabaody Archipelago.Even if Kizaru returned.Even if... he brought other Admirals.Receiving the clear order, the red light in the Pacifista's eyes stabilized. Ignoring the empty thousand sunny, its massive body turned around, and with heavy footsteps, it walked toward other directions on the island where pirate signatures were detected.And Kuma's figure disappeared again after sending away the four members of the Straw Hat Crew.Almost at the same time.On the other side, Zoro, Nami, Bonney, and Merrywere still in a standoff with Sentomaru and a Pacifista.Zoro had already exchanged several rounds with the Pacifista. Although his slashes could leave deep cuts on its hard body and even sparks, he could never cause fatal damage.These guys were too hard.To break through its defense, he had to enter that state.Using Armament Haki, the state he used to cut that Crocodile intelligence agent back in Alabasta.However, Sentomaru was just watching Zoro and the Pacifista fight and didn't join in immediately.Looking at Nami supporting the almost broken Bonney, and Merry guarding vigilantly around them, a flicker of extremely complex emotion flashed across Sentomaru's sturdy face.Their friendship existed.But,"Bonney! Since you chose to become a pirate and are hanging out with a heinous guy like Straw Hat, don't blame me for not considering our past friendship! Today, in the name of justice, I will arrest you all!"However, while saying these righteous words, his gaze kept shifting, not daring to look directly into Bonney's eyes.Perhaps, in some corner of his heart, he also knew that what happened to Kuma could not be easily summed up by the word 'voluntary'.Facing the daughter of an old acquaintance, executing this justice inevitably made him feel a bit guilty."Zoro, I'll leave this to you!"Nami made a quick decision; she saw that Sentomaru's attention was mainly on Bonney.Now was the time to retreat.She used one hand to firmly support the almost exhausted Bonney, grabbed Merry with the other, and turned to run."Yeah. Go ahead without worry."Zoro clenched wado ichimonji tightly in his mouth and responded vaguely, the blades of his three swords pointing at Sentomaru and the standby Pacifista respectively."It's not that easy to run away; have you ignored me?"Seeing this, Sentomaru made a move to pursue."Your opponent is me!"Zoro's figure flashed, instantly blocking Sentomaru's path. sandai kitetsu and black blade shusui brought up a chilling sword light, sealing his route forward.Sentomaru was forced to stop, glaring at Zoro: "Are you trying to stop me?!"He shouted, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at the direction Nami and the others escaped, then quickly retracted.Immediately after, as if to cover something up, he quickly gave an order to the standby Pacifista:"PX-3! Leave this to me! You go support PX-1 and PX-2, prioritize eliminating other pirates with bounties over 100 million!"The red light in the Pacifista's eyes flickered, and after receiving the order, it immediately turned and walked in the direction of the other Supernovas.Zoro watched this scene and laughed: "What do you call this? Selfishness? Letting them go on purpose?""Nonsense! I am the man with the tightest lips and the most impartial and selfless man in the world!"Sentomaru looked as if his tail had been stepped on, his face reddening, and he retorted loudly with his neck stiff: "Sending PX-3 to support is to improve the efficiency of elimination! I am enough to deal with the remnants of the Straw Hat Crewalone!""Is that so?"
