One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

······

The first sound was the petals cutting through Bartholomew's clothes, while the second sound was the petals touching the bear's steel body.

zizi.

zizi.

Golden arcs of electricity crackled from Bartholomew's body, as if his mechanical form had been damaged.

"Air - compressed!!!"

Chapter 119 A Terrifying Speculation

"Pressure—a barrier!!"

The air around Bartholomew Kuma was rapidly compressed, combined with the power of Armament Haki.

Instantly, a sealed protective barrier formed around his body.

The transparent defensive barrier blocked all of Senbonzakura's slashes.

Ding! Ding! Ding! ...

The sounds were incessant.

Xiong looked up at the pink cherry blossoms filling the sky and murmured, "It's somewhat similar to elementalization, but there are still differences. What exactly is it?"

The man who suddenly appeared possessed bizarre moves and seemed to have the special ability to transform himself into a barrage of slashes.

He stretched out his hands, opening them to the left and right.

Buzz!

The atmosphere emitted a trembling sound.

Buzz!

A clearly compressed, transparent space appeared in the air.

The bear's pink paw pads were making the same movements at a speed that was impossible to see with the naked eye, causing the transparent sphere between its paws to grow larger and larger.

Once the pressure cannon expands to its limit like a balloon, it begins to compress and shrink continuously.

Ultimately, it formed a bear paw print that emitted a shimmering white glow.

He coldly uttered a few words, then pushed his palms forward, sending bear paw prints flying out.

"Bear Impact!!"

As the bear-like impact, radiating white light, stopped in mid-air, it suddenly expanded.

Terrifying shockwaves launched indiscriminate attacks in all directions.

Suddenly, the earth appeared with crisscrossing cracks, like fields that had been parched for many years, and countless pieces of rock flew into the air with the shockwave.

The walls of the surrounding buildings instantly disintegrated under the terrifying shockwave.

Trees were not spared either!

"This thing... its power is terrifying!!" Sanji exclaimed in horror, leaping backward repeatedly to avoid being hit by the shockwave.

Zoro, with Nami in one arm and Chopper in the other, ran backwards, the ground behind him cracking and pieces of rock the size of heads separating from the ground.

He secretly vowed in his heart, "From now on, I will definitely use my own sword to shatter such attacks with a single strike!!"

The wound beneath the bandages reopened, oozing blood that soaked the white bandages into a deep crimson.

Those were injuries sustained on the terror tugboat.

Zoro frowned, beads of sweat forming on his face, enduring the pain of his wounds reopening, as he led Nami and Chopper to evade the bear's attacks.

The others also scattered, while Robin hid behind the robot Franky, using her Flower Flower Fruit to form an arm-like barrier around Franky's body.

It blocked the impact.

Luffy, however, was not so lucky. He was swept into the air by the shockwave and kept shouting.

Even with his rubber body, there were still cuts from the pebbles that seeped blood.

Everything was like the end of the world. Under the bear's impact, everything was baptized by the shockwave and shattered.

The cherry blossoms that Senbonzakura transformed into were also scattered in all directions by the bear's impact, eventually coalescing back into the shape of Senbonzakura.

"It's truly powerful... But Master's mission must be completed no matter what." Senbonzakura exclaimed, as crimson blood suddenly dripped continuously from beneath her mask.

The blood was swept up by the shockwave and turned into a faint red mist in the air.

Senbonzakura is injured!

He also knew his mission: even if he couldn't defeat Bartholomew Kuma, he had to hold him off and prevent Kuma from knocking the Straw Hat Pirates away.

In the instant the bear charged past.

He transformed into the form of a Zanpakuto!

Whoosh!!

It emitted a sonic boom at an extremely high speed.

"Again!!" Senbonzakura launched an attack directly with her own sword.

Xiong's expression changed slightly. "A sword?! Or a sword that ate a Devil Fruit?"

His reaction was swift; he reached out and shielded himself, his soft palm deflecting Senbonzakura.

That's one of the abilities of the Paw-Paw Fruit; the pads in his palms can deflect attacks, slashes, and strikes from attackers.

He drew a connection to Vegapunk's science and technology, unlocking the conditions for transmitting Devil Fruit abilities and allowing objects to possess Devil Fruit powers.

Could it be...

Is it really a sword with Devil Fruit powers?

At this time.

Admiral Kizaru, who was paddling along, seemed to understand something when he saw this scene, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes behind his sunglasses.

"Masaka...this is a sword that used a Devil Fruit ability and then enhanced it?"

Seemingly realizing this possibility, his expression turned to shock. "We tested it before; Devil Fruits don't enhance abilities. Could it be...?"

"By combining a Devil Fruit with a physical object, it can be strengthened?!"

"So this sword might not only possess Devil Fruit abilities, but it might even have been enhanced?!"

When Kizaru considered this possibility, a series of shockwaves surged through his heart.

The consequences of such thinking are truly terrifying!

The sword in front of us is a good example; it was able to fight evenly with the Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma.

He turned to look at the glowing Ink Dragon No. 1, a look of fear on his face, and his lips twitched. "This thing... could it be hiding some kind of Devil Fruit power?"

"If that were the case, it would be terrifying!"

Kizaru instantly felt his scalp tingle and goosebumps rise all over his body. He really couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if Mo Long No. 1 possessed the power of a Devil Fruit.

The current Molong No. 1 easily defeated Hades Rayleigh.

It took less than half an hour!

Even if the world's strongest man, Whitebeard Newgate, came, he couldn't do something like that.

This Molong No. 1 is really powerful!

Inside the Molong 1, Hill muttered happily to himself, "Hahaha... Even Rayleigh can't beat my Molong 1. Once my combat skills and experience improve, Molong 1 will become even stronger."

"I'll come out to fight after the Molong 1 runs out of energy. Even if those people are incredibly resilient, their health bars will eventually reach their limit."

"I'm at full health and mana, with high defense, high HP, and plenty of mana. It's easy for me to take down someone with low health."

perfect!

After all, even though his physical characteristics reduce pain, he still doesn't want to be like Kaido, pretending to be the tankiest, taking the most attacks head-on, and getting hit the hardest.

Hill glanced at Rayleigh and warned again, "Arrest Straw Hat Boy first, and I'll give you a chance to escape. If you don't escape, there might be another person on the execution platform."

He made some harsh remarks.

With a whoosh, the Ink Dragon 1 flew towards Luffy, its steel wings emitting blue flames.

It was so fast that it made a sound as if it were cutting through the air.

Target: Straw Hat Luffy!

Chapter 120 Head-on Blow

Bartholomew Kuma's Bear Impact gave the Straw Hat Pirates a chance to catch their breath.

And they knew it too.

Their own strength was simply insufficient to contend with the few people from the Navy who appeared.

So they chose to escape and head to the Going Merry to regroup!

"Oh no!!" Sanji's face paled as he noticed the Molong No. 1 hurtling towards him from behind.

My heart sank to the bottom of the icy sea in an instant.

"Everyone, I'll hold this guy off, you guys run!" Zoro stepped forward with a resolute expression, facing the oncoming Ink Dragon 1.

He held the Wado Ichimonji, one of the 21 Great Grade Swords, in his mouth, while wielding the black sword Shusui in one hand and the Sandai Kitetsu in the other.

"Zoro, let's go together!" Luffy stopped, pressed down on his straw hat, and looked serious. "Nami, Robin, Franky, Chopper, Brook, you guys go back to the Going Merry first, we'll be there in a bit."

The three leaders of the Straw Hat Pirates all faced the Black Dragon No. 1.

Luffy put his thumb in his mouth, took a deep breath, and then, as if blowing up a balloon, shouted, "Gear Third!!"

His right arm suddenly swelled up at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, the entire arm swelled up to a huge thing several meters long.

"Rubber Giant Pistol!!"

At the same time.
