The strongest warehouse manager of the Straw Hat Pirates

Hearing Sanji say that he didn't sense Yuchen, Nami's heart suddenly jumped up, and she asked with her last hope.

"How much range can you explore now? Could he be somewhere you can't sense?"

Nami's voice was trembling. She was afraid that Sanji would tell her some bad news.

Sanji shook his head, "My detection range is indeed not as far away as Yu Chen. But since he was watching the battle just now, it stands to reason that he should not hide very far away. However, I am not sure about the specific situation."

At the moment, although Luffy has returned to normal size, he is still in a coma, and Yuchen is nowhere to be seen. Sanji doesn't want to tell lies.

In this situation, he must tell his companions the true situation. It is best to tell the truth.

"Well. In that case, it is possible that Perona is lying. With Yuchen's strength, he will not be easily defeated! I feel that this tyrant bear must be the enemy we were going to face in the first place, so Yuchen did not come back. Definitely. That’s right!”

Nami said firmly, not knowing whether she was speculating or comforting herself.

"But this Shichibukai's moves are too weird, right? Perona was wiped out in the blink of an eye!"

"Even Yu Chen, if he didn't pay attention to the enemy or was attacked by surprise, I'm afraid..."

Usopp was speaking from the side. Suddenly, he was stabbed in the back by Zoro with the handle of a knife, and his words were forcibly interrupted.

Zoro frowned and motioned for him to stop talking.

Usopp noticed that Nami's face was getting paler and paler. Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he immediately shut up.

the other side,

The bear was not going to sit still and watch them chat.

He raised his hands high, compressing the air around him.

At first no one saw what he was doing. I just feel that the air around the bear is constantly turbulent, and the sound of duong duong is heard from time to time.

The bear move was condensed halfway, and a clear outline of the bear's paw was revealed, and Franky reacted instantly.

"He's compressing the air!!!"

"Oh my God! Is this something a human can do? Who can tell me what kind of Devil Fruit user he is?!?" Usopp wailed.

"I only know that the tyrant bear's name is Bartholomew Bear. Legend has it that he was a very cruel king. The exact truth is unclear." Cold sweat broke out on Robin's forehead. "It seems to be a user with the meat ball fruit ability."

"Meat Ball Fruit?!?" Usopp was surprised. He couldn't associate this word with the cold and strong man in front of him who had a strong sense of oppression.

However, hearing the bear's full name again, Usopp had a strange feeling in his heart. He always felt that the name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

At this moment, Xiong had condensed the compressed air to the size of his palm and controlled it steadily.

"Hey! Are you kidding! The compression is too small! This...he is rubbing the air cannon with his hands! Run!!!"

Franky yelled. He was equipped with a wind cannon and knew the power of this attack all too well.

"Run! This area is not safe!!!"

Franky picked up Robin beside him and ran outside.

The companions naturally believed Franky's judgment, and everyone in the Straw Hats took action.

Luffy was also picked up from the ground by Zoro and carried on his shoulders.

People from the Victims Association saw that something was wrong and ran away one after another.

"Bear Impact!!!"

Adhering to the principle of never talking nonsense, the bear pushed lightly, and the bear's paw-shaped air cannon flew towards the Straw Hats.

three seconds later

"boom!!!"

The bear's paw-shaped air cannon exploded instantly when it flew to the center of the field.

A huge impact force was generated from the explosion point, covering most of the area in front of the castle in an instant, and continued to rush outwards.

"what!!!"

"Don't stop!!!"

"what!!!"

Screams and cries of pain were endless.

The impacted ground became a mess, with smoke and dust everywhere.

All the huge rocks and broken walls in front of the castle were turned into pieces. Many nearby trees were also blown away.

Because of Franky's reminder, they managed to escape the explosion range by acting in advance, but everyone was disgraced.

The people from the Victims Association were a step too slow to escape, and were affected by the impact from the outside. Their bodies were shaken, and most of them fainted.

"What a terrifying power..." Nami, who was the fastest to get away with Chopper, said with lingering fear as she looked at the scene after the explosion.

Although she can escape with elementalization, others can't. Fortunately, the partners escaped in time and no one was injured.

"If it was hit directly, it would be very dangerous." Zoro looked at the direction of the explosion with a serious face.

At this time, a gust of wind blew through and dispersed some of the smoke. Everyone saw the location of Tyrant Bear, but he was unscathed!

"This guy... what kind of monster is he!" Sanji cried out in horror as the cigarette fell from his mouth.

"Everyone! Listen to me!"

Usopp put his hands on his legs.

"I remembered... this name..." His breath gradually calmed down and he continued, "The name of the person Yu Chen asked us to remember our kindness to is Bartholomew Bear!"

"He shouldn't be our enemy!"

Others didn't understand what Usopp was talking about, but how could Nami and the others gathered in the East China Sea not know.

"When you said that, I remembered it. He also said that the bear would fly us away in order to save us. Could it be here?" After Sanji finished speaking, he glanced at the bear and found that he was walking slowly through the smoke. .

"No. Apart from bears, there are no other enemies here. There is absolutely no need for this!" Nami retorted.

"But, if it's not here, where can it be? Perona also said that Yu Chen was beaten away. Then..."

Before Usopp could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Franky.

"Hey! I don't know what Yu Chen said! But you have also seen the power of that move just now. If you are hit, you will be seriously injured even if you die! How can it be a friendly force!"

"But..."

Usopp firmly believed that his guess was correct.

"enough!"

Zoro slapped Usopp heavily on the shoulder.

"There's no use arguing about this."

"The captain is in a coma now, and we are all injured and in poor condition."

"Whether the bears in the future are our friends or enemies, judging from the move just now, what we have to consider now is how to survive!"

"That's the Shichibukai! Don't underestimate him."

Zoro turned around and stared at the bear, always ready to attack.

(------Dividing line------)

Directly above the castle, more than 1000 meters away.

Yu Chen was floating here leisurely, always using his sense of knowledge to understand what was going on below.

"Hey, what's going on with this bear! It took him so long to make a move. Please move more quickly!"

"Although there are a few idiots in it, there are also quite a few smart ones. If it drags on for a long time, it will be easy to lose track of the show."

While waiting for the bear on the Thousand Sunny, he had already bought the Flying Technique and Any Door from the special price section of the Points Mall.

Sanji initially suspected that Yu Chen was hiding somewhere on purpose, but after fully investigating, he gave up the idea.

At this time, he couldn't even imagine that Yu Chen could not be found. It was not because the range of sight, hearing, and color was insufficient, nor was it because Yu Chen was really beaten away.

It's just that he was exploring in the wrong direction.

As the saying goes, if you go in the wrong direction, your efforts will be in vain.
