Chapter 78 Bear Disaster (Please Subscribe!)

Kinshi Island.

As Kitahara Tsune's warships and Vegapunk's research vessel landed together, their operation to exterminate the bears on the island began to unfold.

Kitahara Tsune had done something like this twice before, so this time it was quite easy for him.

Meanwhile, Vegapunk was fiddling with the data, and something just didn't look right to him.

"Mr. Vegapunk, is it that we haven't collected enough data?"

Seeing this, Kitahara Tsune leaned over and asked.

"The situation on this island seems different from that on the other islands," Vegapunk said.

"I had previously had people collect data on bear outbreaks on other islands, and the data from this island is significantly different."

As he spoke, Vegapunk looked up at Kitahara Tsuneo, "Major General Kitahara, could you help me collect some more data?"

"Of course." Kitahara Tsuneo nodded easily.

Guided by the villagers of Jinshi Island, the group arrived at a mountain peak called Jinshi Mountain.

According to them, the bears mostly came down from this mountain.

After briefly sensing the atmosphere of the forest, Kitahara Tsune asked the villagers, "Do you organize hunters to hunt bears?"

The villagers looked at each other and shook their heads.

"That's strange," Kitahara Tsune said, frowning. "There seems to be someone in these mountains."

Upon hearing Kitahara Tsune's words, the villagers' faces stiffened, and they awkwardly took a step back.

This small movement naturally did not escape Kitahara Tsuneo's Observation Haki.

"Oh?" Some villagers wanted to leave, but Kitahara Tsuneo immediately stopped them and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Seeing that he had been stopped, the villager had no choice but to tell the truth: "There might be a child in those mountains—"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Tsune was immediately startled.

Before Kitahara Tsune could recover, Dori, upon hearing this, leaped out of the crowd and ran into the Kintoki Mountain Forest.

Clearly, the child's experience deeply affected Dolly.

"Why----"

Before Kitahara Tsunemi could react, the other person had already darted into the forest.

Kitahara Tsune was about to give chase, but then he remembered his responsibilities as a bodyguard and had to stop abruptly.

Seeing Kitahara Tsuneo like this, Vegapunk smiled and took a briefcase from his assistant behind him.

He pressed it down and put it on the ground.

The suitcase quickly transformed into a chair that floated in the air.

Vegapunk sat down in a chair and said, "Major General Kitahara, I also need to investigate in the forest. Let Dori lead the way."

"Thank you, Mr. Vegapunk."

Kitahara Tsune immediately realized what was happening and rushed into the forest.

Vegapunk, using his flying chair, followed closely behind Kitahara Tsune.

It was tough on the other naval soldiers, who could only run at full speed and barely keep up with Vegapunk.

However, judging from their expressions, they are clearly used to it.

The villagers were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

Some villagers couldn't help but say, "Isn't this too cruel to that child?"

"Isn't he very strong? He should be able to handle a bear, right?"

"Didn't you see those sailors just now? What will they do if they find out we deliberately ignored that kid?"

The villagers split into two factions and had a big argument on the spot.

Meanwhile, in the mountains of Jinshi.

When Dolly heard that a child was facing a ferocious bear attack alone in the mountains, he couldn't bear it any longer and left the group to search for the child in the mountains.

He survived in the pirate crew by reading people's expressions.

Over the course of these months, Kitahara Tsune discovered his keen eye and encouraged him to use it in observing things.

With this keen observation skill, Dolly quickly found what appeared to be signs of a bear.

"roar!"

Before Dolly could observe for a moment longer, an angry roar came from behind him.

Without even glancing behind him, Dolly suddenly rolled forward, drawing his long sword from his waist and slashing behind him with a whoosh.

"Awooo————"

The brown bear that had attempted to ambush Dolly let out a painful roar, stumbled a couple of times, and its eyes turned bloodshot as it looked at Dolly with hatred.

Seeing that the humans in front of it still wanted to run away, the brown bear started running on all fours.

In just a few breaths, the brown bear had already reached Dolly's back.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Dolly's eyes hardened, and he raised his foot to kick the brown bear straight in the chest.

Dolly hadn't expected the brown bear to be so heavy; his full-force kick hadn't even made the beast stagger back more than a few steps.

That beast was cunning; it grabbed Dorina's kick with both hands, then stretched out its head, opened its blood-red mouth, and bit at Dorina's leg.

Seeing this, Dolly used his waist strength and slashed directly at the brown bear's lower body with his long knife.

The knife, however, got stuck directly in the brown bear's thick leg bone.

The intense pain in its leg caused the brown bear to loosen its grip on Dolly. It bent down, bit the long knife that had cut into the bone, and tossed it aside.

Dolly also rolled over, putting some distance between himself and the brown bear.

At this moment, a hint of regret had crept into his heart.

However, Dori's regret was not that he had rashly rushed into Mount Kintoki, but that when he was at Marine Headquarters, he only cared about eating and drinking all day and did not train properly.

Dori frantically recalled the techniques Kitahara Tsune had taught him.

Just as the bear was preparing to attack again, its survival instincts finally compelled it to unleash a "Shave" move for the first time ever.

With a "whoosh" sound.

Dolly's figure appeared instantly more than ten meters away.

The brown bear, whose paw missed its mark, stood there dumbfounded.

The prey that should have been knocked down by his claw suddenly appeared on the other side out of thin air.

Dolly, who had narrowly escaped, was panting heavily, a forced smile on his face.

However, just when he thought he had escaped, another brown bear emerged from the nearby woods.

Dolly was dumbfounded.

Yes, they're here to deal with the bear infestation!

The bear problem isn't just caused by one bear!

Just as Dolly was at a loss, being attacked from both sides by the two brown bears.

A domineering aura that struck straight to the soul suddenly swept across the area.

The two brown bears stiffened, their eyes turned white, and they collapsed.

Upon seeing this, Dolly immediately breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

Soon, Kitahara Tsune's figure came into his view.

Before Dolly could even speak, a fist the size of a sandbag landed on his head.

Ding-dong!

A crisp collision sound rang out, and a large, red, swollen bump immediately appeared on Dolly's head.

"Don't act impulsively next time."

Behind Kitahara Tsuneo, Vegapunk quickly followed in his flying chair and was immediately intrigued when he saw the two brown bears lying on the ground.

Deeper into the forest, a round figure peered through the shadows of the trees, watching Kitahara Tsuneo and his group.
