Chapter Thirty-Seven: Bartholomew Bear
On the palm of the bear's raised hand, you can clearly see the pink flesh ball in the shape of the bear's paw, which is the change brought about by the ability of the superhuman meat ball fruit he has eaten. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At a glance, those meat balls give people a very soft and elastic feeling, and the pink and tender appearance is also pleasing enough. It's like a ball of meat on a cat's foot, it's cute and fun.
But just like a cat has claws hidden on its feet, the meat balls on the bear's hands are not used to sell cuteness.
Those balls of flesh gave him the power to bounce everything away. Whether it is air, objects, or even the tiredness and pain felt by the human body, whether it is present or not, all can be bounced away with a ball of flesh.
Naturally, among the things that can be bounced away, there is also pure energy......
"Where would you like to go if you traveled?"
The bear's voice is soft, and the tone of his voice is like a cordial greeting between friends. However, while greeting, his palm slapped down mercilessly.
The bear appeared suddenly, without warning. If it weren't for the obvious traces of air currents in the air, I'm afraid it would really make people think that he had crossed space.
But even so, it can be classified as teleportation. If it weren't for the domineering perception ability of seeing and hearing, Crockdahl would have been slapped in the face by the bear without defense.
As the palm of his hand slapped down, a shock wave like a bubble appeared on the meat ball. It is conceivable that once you are hit, it will definitely not be as simple as a slap in the face.
But now that Crockdahl had found out, the bear's raid was pointless.
Rushing forward half a step, and then suddenly closing the distance, Crockdahl quickly turned around and blasted his right fist straight out. The yellow sand gushed out with his arm, quickly tangled together in the air, and turned into a raging torrent.
"Sand fist - gun!"
"Bang!", like a defeated revolution.
The bear's palm collided violently with Crockdahl's sand fist, and after a short stalemate, two powerful forces that did not give in to each other suddenly burst out, and the strong impact was unscrupulously vented to the surroundings.
Suddenly, the earth shook, the yellow sand rolled, and the hurricane swept in all directions out of thin air, like a thunderous roar, and suddenly reverberated over the battlefield.
First of all, the buildings near the auction hall have collapsed. And the initiator of all this was involuntarily swept away by the feedback force, and confronted each other several meters apart after landing.
The force of the impact shook open the yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun, exposing the two people in the field to Sentomaru.
Crockdahl's stature was as weak as a child's size in front of the bear, but the momentum he exuded at this time did not allow a single bit. even faintly overwhelmed the other party.
"No...... It's worthy of the battle between the Seven Martial Seas......" Sentomaru exclaimed in amazement. For a moment, he even ignored the fact that Crockdahl had been removed from the Seven Martial Seas.
Whether it's from Crockdahl's sudden counterattack, which destroyed PX-1 to PX-5 with a single blow, to the strange appearance of the bear, and the massive collision between the two afterwards. This successive events had already dizzy him, and for a while he only felt that his brain seemed to be insufficient.
Without waiting for him to think about it more, the battle between Crockdahl and the bear began again.
"Boom!", where the fist and palm clashed, the violent air wave soared again, and the ground shook again. This time, the two turned out to be evenly divided.
"Hahaha...... Come again!!" Crockdahl laughed, throwing his fist a third time. And the bear also slapped it with a palm without hesitation.
The shockwave from the meat ball bounced through the surging sand, and the domineering palm collided with Crockdahl's iron fist. This is the purest clash of powers, without fancy, but it is also the best interpretation of men's blood.
The wild sand swept again, and the fierce and violent sandstorm enveloped the two people who were fighting, except for feeling the constant fluctuations of power and guessing, Sentomaru could not predict the specific situation of the battle at all.
But just the aftermath of the battle, Sentomaru had already determined that this was not a level that he could touch. His proud defensive power, under this level of power, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold out for a few hits before it collapses, right?
"The gap in grades is too big to get involved in...... In that case, let's give priority to the others!" Secretly suppressing the unwillingness in his heart, Sentomaru quickly left with the big axe.
……
"Hey, hey!" Crockdahl shouted at the bear, "The eye-nuisance is gone, are you sure you want to fight?"
"My time is running out...... the bear's voice seemed a little erratic in the yellow sand, but his movements were not slow, his left hand holding the Bible did not move, but his right hand jerked out.
"Pressure cannon!"
Using the ability of the meat ball fruit, through the action of "pushing the palm" to bounce the atmosphere, forming a pure shock wave to attack, this is the pressure cannon.
"What a headache, has it been transformed and can't communicate properly......" Crockdahl said in annoyance, his feet on the ground and backwards as the sand in front of him erupted like a fountain and crashed into the incoming shockwave.
The Bear's Pressure Cannon is a pure energy blast with a property that approximates penetration. Although it loses power when it penetrates an object, there is no way to stop it until the power is exhausted.
Therefore, the best way to deal with this situation is to attack against attack and offset the power of the impact.
"Dragon's Command ......"
The bear spoke again, still in the same soft tone, but now it sounded a little more mechanical cold.
“…… Protect Monchi D. Luffy and enter the New World safely......"
As he spoke, the bear's body disappeared again, teleporting behind Crockdahl. The shape of the body was undecided, and the shockwave was already brewing in the palm of his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the bear's palms faced each other and thrust out.
"Assault Pressure Cannon!"
"Sandstorm!"
Krokdal jumped up, and the yellow sand in his hand spun extremely fast, instantly swelling into a whirlwind several meters high, pulling aside this shock wave that was several times stronger than the pressure cannon in terms of speed and power.
"Boom!", the crooked shock wave suddenly carved out a passage of tens of meters, and the ground was scraped by the force of the impact along the way, and the rubble flew sideways.
“…… All possibilities of danger are eliminated. ”
As he spoke, the bear used his ability to bounce the air around him and disappear again in an instant. By the time he appeared, he was already above Crockdahl's head.
"So I'm a danger?hah! stop kidding!" Crockdahl sneered, looking up at the bear who seemed to cover himself completely, and his tone was full of sarcasm, "Avoid all dangers...... Then, the idea of creating space for growth is the real danger, right?!"
As the words fell, a whirlwind roared violently. The wind was hot and dry, as if it were about to burn. Among them, there is an endless layer of gravel, like a tiny sharp blade, dancing with the wind.
“…… The battle on top is about to begin, and Ace will be executed...... "Huge bear's paw-shaped bubbles appeared outside the bear's body, like a shield protecting him from the wind and sand, and he continued to talk to himself as if he hadn't heard what Crockdahl said."
“…… With Luffy's character, when he gets the news, he will inevitably take the initiative to participate. With a miss, the bear quickly turned around and attacked Crockdahl with a palm, "His strength is too weak...... If you participate, you'll ...... die."
"Huh?" The Desert Vajra Treasure Knife slashed and struck, and Crokodar had a stunned expression on his face.
"I'm running out of time......"
The bear said it again, in a flat tone, but Crockdahl heard a little silence in it.
“…… Banish them from here...... Wait until the war on the top is over and get together again......"
As he spoke, the bear seemed to lose interest in continuing the fight and stopped. And Crockdahl also cooperated and did not attack.
"Oh, is this your plan, it's really simple and crude!" Crockdahl commented, raising an eyebrow.
"Enough. The bear said, smiling for the first time.
"Planning this kind of thing, whether it's simple or not, rough or delicate, as long as it works. The bear seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be explaining to Crockdahl, "Even the most crude plan is not necessarily useless, on the contrary, the more complex the plan, the more likely it is to deviate because of some small details." ”
"Is this what you do, the more you get wrong?" Crockdahl looked at the bear with a look of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it, was the guy in front of him who suddenly became popular, or the bear that had been transformed and was about to be wasted?
"Mechanical thinking has eaten away at my brain, and my consciousness is extremely limited in time......" Xiong took a deep breath and spoke at a faster pace.
"The Plan ...... of the Revolutionary Army"
……
After the battle with the bear was interrupted, the yellow sand in the sky quietly faded, revealing the original beautiful evening scenery.
"The plan of the revolutionary army? haha...... It's really unscrupulous to achieve the end, Long ......" Crockdahl sat cross-legged in the ruins of the square at this time, looking at the clouds in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
"Next time you see you, do you have to fight to the death?"
In the last hours of consciousness, fight one more time...... Unfortunately, even this wish is difficult to achieve. How sad it is, Bartholomew Bear......
Thinking back to the sigh of "I don't have much time to ......" when the bear was leaving, Crockdahl didn't know what it was like in his heart for a while, and the mixed tastes were not enough to describe what it was.
Human beings do not lack the courage to pursue their dreams, but when faced with possible choices, few people can show the determination to give up everything to choose.
And when it is necessary to confront the country and even the world, how many people can overcome the fragility in their hearts?
Although Bartholomew Bear seems to have chosen to compromise in front of the world government, it is not the act of cowardice, but real courage.
It can only be said that he is a real warrior, a person who can sacrifice everything for his ideals.
"World Government...... Revolutionary...... Vegapunk ...... Hehe......"
Crockdahl got up and walked down the long street, disappearing into the sand, leaving only his chuckle.
“…… In this case, I don't have much time......"
