Pirate's Freedom

On the turbulent sea.

Nearly seven meters tall, he could easily reach the top of the mast with one hand. The figure that made the sailing ship look like a sampan stood at the stern, confronting the owner of the ship across the cabin.

"[Playwright] Sebastian," Xiong's soft and gentle voice was completely different from his tall and burly body, floating in the sea breeze, "I wonder if you have heard of this name."

"……What's the meaning?"

He was completely unaware of how he came to the ship. This alone was enough to make Hancock alert.

"If you are related, I hope you can introduce me on my behalf," Xiong continued to say calmly, ignoring the two people's extremely wary attitudes, "I have important things to discuss with him."

"What's the matter with you-"

"Wait a minute, Hancock."

Just as Hancock was about to speak, he was interrupted by a figure. Granny New suddenly stepped forward with a serious expression.

"...You are..." She had already recognized the identity of the person, "Bartholome Bear...you just showed up in [Balmonk] a few days ago...Why do you show up here now? "

At this point, Granny New's voice paused. She didn't know what she thought of, and her expression became more solemn. "Could it be that... the next one [Ocean Shichibukai] who has been unofficially selected... is this rumor true..."

"...!!"

Hancock was suddenly startled.

"What a mess [playwright]..." She stretched out her hand to pull Granny New behind her and spoke loudly, "We don't know that kind of guy."

"I'm sorry," Xiong's voice was as calm as ever, "If it is confirmed that you are unrelated persons, I'm afraid I will have to take some measures."

"What a pity." He closed the book in his hand, unzipped his jacket, and slowly put the book into his arms, "I can't let you go."

Even so, his voice sounded unwavering.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment. Behind Hancock, Granny New frowned, as if she wanted to say something, but stopped herself at the end.

"..."

The waves surged and the sailboat heaved slightly.

"What are you talking about...let us go..."

Hancock took a deep breath, "You guy who showed up uninvited," she disappeared instantly, leaving only a clear shout echoing, "Stop talking so shamelessly here!"

When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air. He quickly turned his body sideways, using his waist as an axis, and heard a loud explosion of air.

His right foot was enveloped in the expanding white mist, and a swift whip kick hit the side of the bear's face.

Boom! !

Large pieces of the wooden roof of the upper half of the cabin were blown away, and the impact left a gap in the stern side plate. ,

Boom! !

Immediately afterwards, a large piece of ship plank exploded under his feet, and sawdust flew into the air. Hancock, who was somewhat unsteady when he landed, squatted down.

"I'll ask again—"

The smoke and dust dispersed, and there was no one in front of him. Hancock's pupils trembled.

"Please answer-"

The unwavering voice was close at hand. Behind Hancock, Xiong spoke slowly, "If you want to travel, where do you want to go?"

So fast! !

——I can’t react at all! !

——Faster than when Erwin and Uncle Rayleigh fought! !

As the thought flashed through his mind, Hancock's body moved subconsciously, and his palms supporting the ground exerted force!

boom! ! !

The powerful impact poured down like Mount Tai!

Hancock, who tried his best to dodge to the right, crashed into the side of the ship as he lost his balance and rolled. The moment he reacted, he stepped hard on the sea. After the water splashed high, he flew up into the air and landed back on the ship.

Only then did she see that under Xiong's palm across the void -

Four small holes and one large hole - traces like bear's paws appeared in the center of the hull. Amidst the harsh 'crunching' sound, the hull, which could not withstand the stress, slowly began to tear...

wrong!

Calm down, Hancock, don't get scared!

Complex thoughts that even he couldn't distinguish flashed past, and another figure had already leaped high.

Xiong raised his right palm, and Granny New's domineering fist hit his palm.

"...!!"

A moment of stalemate.

"Ugh!"

After a loud shout, the short figure flew forward and crashed into the sea, causing large waves to surge.

"Grandma New!!!"

Hancock only had time to catch a glimpse——

what is that?Meat balls?

The next moment, the tall figure disappeared and reappeared again, and right in front of Hancock, the bear raised his palm again.

"Pressure Cannon!"

The transparent bear's paw-shaped shock wave glowed slightly and came towards the enemy at lightning speed.

In the suddenly narrowed field of vision, this time Hancock could clearly see the slightly raised pink flesh pads in the bear's palm.

Very beautiful, but a little inconsistent...

boom! !

At the critical moment, Hancock stepped on the wooden board under his feet and fell straight into the bottom cabin. The violent air flow roared past his head.

If it were Erwin...

The thoughts lingered in my mind. From the beginning to now, my body, which was slightly trembling with the sense of crisis, suddenly calmed down.

Distinguish carefully...

Intuitively, there is no overwhelming sense of presence at that time. This guy is not that strong yet...

It's not that Erwin and Rayleigh can't do this, it's just that it's not necessary.

Boom boom boom...! !

In the newly opened field of vision, as the ship's hull shook violently, countless bear's paw-shaped shock waves that could easily penetrate the steel swarmed in from top to bottom...

Faced with all this, Hancock's chest rose and fell deeply.

The countless high-intensity battles he had experienced turned into instinctive experience and skills, and began to run smoothly in this body again.

Adjust the rhythm of breathing, integrate the flow of power...

After a few breaths.

Stirred by countless shock waves, the boiling sea looked like a hornet's nest, and the tattered sailboat was slowly sinking.

Bang! !

A big hole opened on the right side of the ship, and Hancock turned over. Hancock stood on the deck again. The next moment, the bear, whose posture had not changed at all, pushed towards Hancock's side with a straight palm.

When time is not available.

Boom! !

The entire sailboat suddenly sank. After the shock, Hancock jumped up, stepped forward and punched.

"Waves penetrate the sky and the earth!!"

A bright shock wave filled with domineering power hit the bear's palm.

His body shook slightly, his upper body leaned back, his rimless glasses flashed with light, and he folded his hands in front of him——

"Double pressure cannon!"

A much larger bear paw-shaped shock wave emerged from the palm of his hand.

Under the power of the meat ball fruit, the rebounded shock wave was superimposed with the pressure cannon, and collided with Hancock's subsequent heaven and earth penetrating wave.

In the more violent impact, the surrounding ship plates were broken layer by layer...

"Ugh...!"

Hancock gritted his teeth and plowed a deep furrow back with his feet, and there was a loud bang!His back hit the mast and tilted, and he stopped.

However, the bear repeated his old trick - using the power of the meat ball fruit to compress the surrounding air and surround his body - and disappeared in the next moment.

Hancock's heart trembled as he watched the bear disappear again!

The strength that had been holding on was suddenly gone. At the moment when he lost his balance, Hancock suddenly leaned forward, hooked his foot back, and poked the knee of the bear that suddenly appeared.

——The toes point on the fleshy ball in the bear’s palm.

"...!!!"

Like a frightened cat, the hairy Hancock's toes were about to retract at the touch of a finger, and her forearms to fingertips were used like whips. The wooden board under her body collapsed in a large area from near to far, and she turned to the left in embarrassment. Side roll.

"Push the pressure—"

The bear, who was in a sumo wrestling stance and was about to push his palm, suddenly withdrew his hand and looked at the sky.

A roaring sound broke through the sky, splitting the white clouds in the sky into two.

"Super Strike Whip!!"

Right in front of Hancock and in front of the bear, with the two as the dividing line, the entire sailboat was instantly cut in half from bow to stern.

The sea surface parted, and a bottomless ravine appeared.

Click, click, click! !

After several times of torture, and then suffering this final fatal blow, the originally disconnected sailboat finally could no longer hold on and fell into pieces.

Most of the wreckage disappeared under the sea in the huge waves, and a small part turned into scattered wooden boards on the sea.

After the big wave passed, Hancock stood on a wooden board and stood still in the turbulent waves.

In the distance, Granny New, who was all wet, was jumping back and forth between the wooden boards, rushing towards this side.

Following the bear's gaze, Hancock looked to the sky——

In mid-air, the pink feather cloak made a buzzing sound.

A blond man with light brown skin, wearing black pointed-toe shoes, bright red sunglasses, an open white shirt and burgundy nine-point pants, stood suspended between the separated clouds.

"[Tyrant]~"

He twitched his fingers at Bartholomew Bear.

"The time for playing house with the kids is over."

"Now," Doflamingo raised the corners of his mouth, his bright white teeth looking a bit sinister, "it's the nanny's turn."
