Pirate's Freedom

"..."

No one answered her question. After a moment of silence, Doflamingo and Bartholomew Bear took action at the same time.

"Push the pressure cannon!!"

The round, soft, slightly glowing air mass, like a series of bubbles blown by a naughty boy, quickly splashed towards Stussy.

In essence, it uses the ability of the [Meat Ball Fruit] to hit the shock wave emitted by the atmosphere at high speed. Hundreds of consecutive hits, each hit is powerful enough to easily penetrate steel.

"Beyond the Whip!!!"

Dozens of nearly transparent filamentous threads are twisted together, similar to a smaller version of the [Super Strike Whip]. Shorter and more flexible threads extend from the palm of the hand, and are waved in the roar that cuts through the atmosphere. Pumped towards Stussy.

"Ahhhh..."

Between the ups and downs of the waves, under the attack of the stormy waves, Stussy stood still in the face of danger, and was still in the mood to say with a smile.

"Don't think about it again... Is it really okay to be so confident?"

As he was teasing, the moment the "over the whip" came first, Stussy took half a step back with his right leg before he could catch it.

boom! ! !

The atmosphere exploded and the waves exploded.

Without dodging, Stussy's delicate fist collided head-on with the tip of the whip. Under the flying white sleeves, the jet black color visible to the naked eye spread to the elbows.

In mid-air, spiderweb-like black lightning spread.

After catching the blow, Stussy retreated slightly. His fist retracted and then turned into a palm. After holding the thread whip, he turned his wrist at lightning speed. On his small palm, several circles of thread were quickly wound. The whip was tightened.

The next moment-

Bang! !

The big wave exploded into foam all over the sky. On the sunken sea surface, Stussy took a step forward and exerted all her strength, pulling her arms back.

"drink!"

After a clear drink.

The thread whip suddenly tightened.

"Well……!!"

Feeling Stussy's slender arms burst out with tremendous power that exceeded common sense. After a moment of shock, Doflamingo was suddenly pulled over.

Immediately afterwards, Stusy, who was mainly against the guests, swung the whip——

Boom boom boom boom boom...! !

The whips thrown out exploded into dense black lightning in the air. In the continuous explosions, shock waves from the bear's paws nearby exploded one after another, and the turbulent airflow blurred the surrounding area.

"...Don Quixote...hehehehe...Doflamingo..."

Feeling free, Stussy smiled slightly as he looked at Doflamingo who was rapidly approaching.

"For you, too much time has passed. The days when you stayed in the Holy Land...hehehe...you can't remember it clearly, right? It seems that I still need to let you get to know it again - why CP0 is called the [most important thing] Strong Shield]~”

"Furfurfurfurfur..."

The figure passing through the air was getting closer and closer, with the pink feather cloak raised high behind him.

"Stop talking big..."

Under the cover of red sunglasses, Doflamingo's eyes could not be seen clearly. All he could see was the veins popping up on his bulging temples, and the cold laughter squeezed out from between his teeth.

"You're done! Old woman!!"

"Ha...it's really..."

In an instant.

One large and one small, the same black pointed-toe shoes and women's low-heeled shoes, clashing together in the air.

Rumble——! ! !

A loud roar rolled across the sky like thunder, and Stussy's voice finally took on a hint of displeasure.

"Not good!!!"

Above the sea, the battle resumes.

……

On the other side, there is a place far away from the battlefield.

The strange, white boat with wings on each side skimmed across the sea, gliding over a long distance, its speed getting slower and slower, its height getting lower and lower...

Finally, it fell into the sea with a 'pop' sound, splashing into broken waves.

On this small boat, there were two people, an old man and a young man.

——It is Granny New and Hancock.

Not long ago.

Doflamingo used his awakened [Thread Fruit] ability to assimilate some of the wreckage of the sailboat in the sea, protecting Hancock and Granny New.

Next.

After he used silk thread to pull the two people high into the sky, thousands of thin threads were delicately woven together to quickly form this strange boat with wings.

In the end, in order to protect the two of them from the aftermath of the battle, Doflamingo used the [Spider Web] he had arranged as a slingshot to launch the boat far away.

At this moment, on the sea.

After rowing through the waves for another distance, the white boat slowly stopped and floated steadily on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.

Hancock was leaning against the side of the ship. The wound on his exposed left shoulder had been bandaged with circles of [black bandages] and he was trying to move his left arm.

Standing next to her, Granny New was doing an examination carefully.

"How's it going? Hancock?"

"It's nothing serious." Amidst the severe pain of muscle tearing, Hancock raised his arms above his head without changing his expression and spoke as if nothing had happened.

"I'm almost fine."

"Hancock!" He quickly pressed Hancock's arm down without any explanation. Unexpectedly, Granny New looked a little majestic.

"Don't show off your strength!"

After a while, the inspection was completed.

"Huh-it's okay..."

Granny New breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although the muscles were severely damaged, luckily no bones were injured."

After confirming the situation, Granny New raised her head, stared at her seriously and said, "However, Hancock, if you don't want to leave any sequelae, it's better to move this arm as little as possible until the injury is healed."

"The next few years will be the time when you grow the fastest..." she said nonchalantly, "When you were young, you didn't realize that, but when you get to my age, Hancock, you will know how big the impact of hidden wounds is... "

"...I see..." Hancock suddenly felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but want to change the subject, "Granny New, what do you think the result will be? The bear and [Spider]...should win, right?"

"If [Tyrant] and [Tian Yaksha] join forces..." Granny New's attention was diverted and she started thinking, "It can't be said to be foolproof..."

"Shooting from such a distance, I didn't notice it at all..." Granny New said with lingering fear, "Such a thrilling scene, Hancock, you should be most impressed by her strength."

"..."

Recalling the feeling of life and death, Hancock was slightly in a trance, "At that time..."

"In general, the feeling that the strong man in the center gives me..." Granny New said with a serious face, "He is almost in the same mold as I was when I was young."

"..."

Hancock remained silent, and Granny New continued her analysis.

"...If there is no way to capture her in a short time, things will become very difficult when the central support arrives..."

"Besides, it's still unclear what Bartholomew Bear's attitude is. If the situation changes..."

As she said that, Granny New became worried first.

"We can't just wait here, we have to go back to the Shampoo Islands as soon as possible."

"Hey!"

The boat tilted for a while.

Grandma New climbed over the side of the boat, lay on the left wing of the boat, reached into the sea with her hands, and paddled back with a splash.

"Since we don't have a paddle, we have to row with our hands. If we work harder, we should be able to return to the Shampoo Islands before morning."

"No need to bother." Hancock said suddenly.

"...?"

After hearing Hancock's words, Granny New turned back in confusion.

"Grandma New, look."

Standing up while holding on to the side of the ship, Hancock raised his eyebrows as he looked at the small smoke column in the distance.

"We seem to have arrived just in time."
