Chương 1355: Battle of the Sabaody Archipelago (6)

"Straw Hat Luffy, you can't escape, just surrender!"

Following a triumphant laugh, Zhan Taomaru, accompanied by a large number of navy soldiers and several pacifists, surrounded them again aggressively.

They surrounded Luffy and others tightly, forming an airtight encirclement.

Seeing himself in such a desperate situation, Luffy was so angry that his eyes widened and his eye sockets almost burst. Veins popped out on his forehead and he gritted his teeth and roared, "Asshole!"

But at this critical moment!

There was a loud bang, and a figure landed like lightning in the center of the battlefield filled with smoke and shouts of killing.

The figure was tall and mighty, and his appearance was exactly the same as that of a pacifist, making it difficult to distinguish.

When Zhan Taomaru saw this, he was overjoyed, thinking that it was the pacifists on his side who had arrived in time to provide support, so he shouted without hesitation, "Quick! Assist the navy in exterminating these hateful pirates!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response for a long time.

As time passed, the tense atmosphere on the battlefield became more and more serious, and Zhan Taomaru finally realized that something was wrong.

He frowned, thinking to himself that something was wrong, and immediately turned his head to look at the mysterious figure vigilantly.

When he saw the face of the person clearly, he was shocked - it turned out that this person was not a pacifist, but the dreaded tyrant Bartholomew Bear!

As Sen Taomaru has been responsible for protecting Vegapunk, he is naturally no stranger to this powerful Shichibukai.

It can even be said that Sen Taomaru was able to master the powerful move that sent Luffy flying with one palm, and many of the techniques were borrowed from Kuma.

Seeing the bear suddenly appear here, Zhan Taowan was surprised, but he quickly calmed down.

"Bear, why are you here?"

Zhan Taomaru asked, a hint of doubt in his tone.

The Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma looked at the Straw Hat Pirates with an expressionless face, then turned his gaze to the strange woman who was fighting fiercely with Kizaru. After a brief pause, he slowly turned his head and looked at Zhan Taomaru.

"I am here to destroy the Straw Hat Pirates on the orders of the Celestial Dragons."

Bartholomew Xiong replied calmly, his voice so calm that it seemed to contain no emotion at all.

Hearing this, Zhan Taowan felt relieved at first, thinking that with such strong help, he would definitely win the battle today.

However, just a second later, a thought suddenly flashed through Zhan Taowan's mind, and his face changed drastically.

Because he clearly remembered that when the Celestial Dragons were attacked, Kuma seemed to be there... Could it be that Kuma's arrival this time was not just to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates?

Thinking of this, Zhan Taowan couldn't help but take a breath, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

But in the next moment!

Bartholomew Bear instantly disappeared from the spot, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace from where he was originally.

Just a second later, Bear appeared behind Zoro and Usopp like a ghost.

At this time, a pacifist was seen chasing Zoro with bared fangs and claws.

Xiong stood there quietly, with no expression on his face, and said calmly: "Wait a minute, PX-1!"

Although his voice was not loud and even gentle, it carried an irresistible power.

As soon as the words fell, the aggressive pacifist stopped all movements instantly as if he was cast under a spell.

Zoro and Usopp took the opportunity to breathe heavily, their chests heaving violently and beads of sweat the size of beans constantly dripping from their foreheads.

Sanji, who was standing aside, was already exhausted from the long and intense battle and fell heavily to the ground.

Although the Straw Hat Pirates' overall strength is indeed stronger than these pacifists, facing such a large number of enemies that continue to pour in, they gradually feel overwhelmed and unable to resist.

The sudden stop of the pacifist did not make Zoro and Usopp really let down their guard.

On the contrary, the tension in their hearts grew stronger.

Because at this moment, they clearly felt a large and thick shadow covering their heads, and the oppressive feeling was almost suffocating.

Usopp's body trembled slightly involuntarily, as if he was shrouded in an invisible fear.

Brook, who was standing nearby, suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the familiar figure that was gradually approaching, a look of astonishment on his face.

Usopp slowly turned his head, and when his sight completely overlapped with the robot in front of him, the fear in his heart instantly erupted like a volcano.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he let out a shrill scream: "Another... another one appeared? What the hell is going on! I've had enough, how many of these damn guys are there!"

As he spoke, Usopp covered his head with his hands, as if this could drive away all the chaotic thoughts in his mind, but the reality was so cruel that he could not escape it at all.

At the same time, not far away, Zoro was struggling to support himself with his hands, trying to stand up from the ground.

But the serious injuries on his body were like heavy shackles that tightly bound his movements, and every attempt made him feel extremely painful.

Finally, after some effort, Zoro slowly raised his head. When he saw the horrible figure that lingered in his mind like a nightmare, his face suddenly turned pale as paper.

"This guy… is me!"

Zoro clenched his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead as memories flooded back to him.

Recalling the fierce battle with the opponent on the Thriller Bark, Zoro was well aware of the huge gap in strength between them - at that time, he was completely powerless in front of this powerful enemy.

And now, facing this terrifying existence again, Zoro couldn't help but feel a deep despair in his heart.

At this moment, the bear who had been looking down at everyone suddenly said, "You're still alive, Roronoa!"

His voice was very gentle, like an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"Thank you for your mercy."

Zoro gritted his teeth and stood up slowly with difficulty. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, soaking his messy hair.

At this moment, he looked exhausted, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife.

"Zoro, now is not the time to chat with this guy, hurry up!"

Usopp, who was hiding nearby, was extremely anxious and shouted in a low voice.

He held the slingshot tightly in his hand, his body trembling slightly due to nervousness.
