Weapon fruit is rubbish? Have you ever heard of Ryujin Jakka?

"Crocodale."

"Joracol Mihawk."

"You guys are looking for death!"

……

Just as Djordje Mihawk and Crocodile thought.

This sudden change made all the navy who reacted filled with shock and anger, and then they were filled with murderous intent.

however.

Whether it was Djordje Mihawk or Crocodile, the timing of their choices was really good.

Everyone's attention was on Rosen, and they took the opportunity to attack.

Especially Djorakol Mihawk.

Whether before or after drawing the sword, all the navy officers who mastered the Observation Haki were extremely surprised that they could not sense the opponent's breath.

"You have mastered the seeing and hearing killing, right?"

"I see."

"No wonder he dared to assassinate Rosen."

The fighting forces such as the three admirals and the devil's descendants who stood at the top of the sea all reacted.

If Crocodile simply saw the fleeting opportunity and then decisively went all in, slashing at Rosen with the Desert Greatsword, then Djordje Mihawk obviously had it planned and prepared carefully.

Prior to this, Joracol Mihawk had mastered all the prerequisites needed to assassinate Rosen.

The world's strongest swordsmanship.

The armed color domineering that is refined into a black sword.

The world's strongest black sword.

Also, the domineering color is entangled.

And, the Observation Killing that can hide from the perception of Observation Haki.

Unlike Crocodile, all Djordje Mihawk lacked was timing.

Rosen resurrects the navy and becomes weak, this is the best time.

Faced with the sand sword of the Desert King and the black knife of the world's most powerful swordsman, Rosen seemed too weak to resist. He could only stand where he was, letting the sand sword that broke through the ice point straight to his back and the earth-tearing slashing waves roar towards him. He couldn't even turn around.

The iconic complete form of Susanoo did not appear.

After it opened, the outer shell of the Static Blood Armor that formed a powerful defensive force did not appear.

even.

Not even a Zanpakutō appeared.

This phenomenon undoubtedly told everyone that the Navy's Grim Reaper was really too weak after refusing death hundreds of times.

"Pirates, you really can't trust them!"

Borsalino had put on his sunglasses again at some point, but even the dark lenses could not hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

咻

With a flash of golden light, he flashed behind Rosen at the speed of light.

Just like when we were in Impey Prison.

he.

General Kizaru.

It is always Rosen’s bottom line.

咻

Between the lightning and the fire.

A figure moved across the sky, chasing the speed of light, and stood behind Rosen like a hill.

Followed by.

He took off his gloves and put down the Bible that he always held in his hands.

With his left hand covered with bear paw meat, he slapped the desert sword that broke through the ice from top to bottom, and then he pushed out his right arm, and the bear paw with meat wrapped in powerful armed color domineering was like an indestructible palm mountain, to meet the world's strongest slash.

砰

Once the palm blade made contact, the terrifying and domineering edge turned into an overwhelming storm of domineering power, dismembering the ice layer and shaking the universe.

Faced with such a powerful slashing wave, even though the ice beneath his feet was crushed and collapsed, with his feet digging deep under the ice, he still stood firmly in front of Rosen's back.

"Bartholomew Bear."

Borsalino looked at Bartholomew Kuma, who was ready to die and faced the world's strongest blow, and a hint of surprise appeared on his cold face.

The ones who attacked Rosen were the Shichibukai, and the ones who rescued Rosen were also the Shichibukai.

This was really beyond his expectations.

You know, he was even ready to welcome Bartholomew the Bear just now.

After all, he is the only one among the pirates who can keep up with him in speed.

"He actually blocked Hawkeye's attack?"

Sakaski and Kuzan were also stunned.

They were all ready to take action, but they never expected that Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, would choose to protect Rosen.

"What on earth is going on with these Shichibukai?"

Faced with the successive incidents, the navy present were a little overwhelmed.

"why?"

"Tyrant Bear!"

"Isn't the navy your enemy?"

Crocodile's face was gloomy and he couldn't help but roar.

Even if Bartholomew Kuma hadn't interfered, the assassination attempt by himself and Joracol Mihawk might not have succeeded. After all, the one who was weak was only Rosen, not the three admirals or the devil's heir.

What's more, Gion, who is supporting Rosen, has the fighting power to defeat Diamond Joz.

Before making the move, Crocodile had thought about the possibility of failure, but the opportunity to weaken Rosen was rare, so he didn't want to miss it. That's why he gambled everything with the desert sword.

Therefore.

He could accept failure, but he could only accept failure due to obstruction from other navy officers. He could not accept failure due to obstruction from Bartholomew Kuma, who was also one of the Shichibukai.

"You should know that this was your only chance to break free from the collar."

Joracol Mihawk held a black knife in his hand, with a pair of eagle eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he was going to pierce and dismember Bartholomew Kuma from a distance.

砰

Bartholomew Kuma withdrew his left hand that had smashed the desert sword, and used both hands together to activate the Meat Ball Fruit, exerting all his strength to push away the wave of attacks that were coming in like a mountain torrent and tsunami.

Correct.

Instead of knocking him away, he pushed him away with difficulty, changing the flight angle of the slashing wave. It was supposed to slash towards Rosen, but now it passed through Rosen's side.

Obviously.

Djork Mihawk's slash, which was entangled with the Haki of Armament and Conqueror's Haki, was still terrifyingly powerful even though it was released from a very long distance.

Even Bartholomew the Bear couldn't swat it away.

However, in his opinion, it was enough.

"You don't know why I joined the Shichibukai!"

Bartholomew the Bear stood behind Rosen like a city wall, protecting him tightly.

"What else could it be?"

"Except for being collared by Rosen."

Crocodile said subconsciously.

"Do not."

"It's true that I wear a collar, but I'm different from you in one respect."

"You were put on collars by Mr. Rosen himself, but I took the initiative to join the Shichibukai and put on the collar."

Bartholomew Big Bear made a shocking statement.

Be it the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Three Admirals, the Devil's Heir and other navy officers, all of them had expressions of astonishment on their faces.

"Is it because of Rosen?"

Djorakol Mihawk's eagle eyes that could see through the essence of everything seemed to have seen something.

"Yes."

"The reason why I was willing to wear the collar and join the Seven Warlords of the Sea was just to better protect this man."

Bartholomew Big Bear turned his head and glanced at Rosen behind him. His voice, which had always been calm, now revealed a strong sense of gratitude.

"what?"

Crocodile was unbelievable.

He didn't say he knew every detail about the origins and intelligence of the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, but he was quite clear about them.

Before joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Bartholomew Kuma had been an enemy of the World Government and the Navy many times.

Because of this, before he took action, he never thought that the other Seven Warlords of the Sea would stop him.

Even if he doesn't join me in the assassination, he will choose to stand by and watch.

I never thought that Bartholomew the Bear would suddenly appear.

After all, who would have thought that a pirate would be willing to wear a collar and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea just to protect Rosen, a navy officer.

"Are you a pirate or a navy?"

Kaji frowned and put down the pistol in his hand.

Just now he was ready to rescue Rosen at any time.

The navy's Death God fell into an unprecedented state of weakness. He seemed defenseless on the surface, but in fact he was secretly wary of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even of every navy.

Who knows whether other forces have interfered in the navy.

"I am neither a marine nor a pirate."

"Please put it this way. I actually thought about joining the navy directly so that I could protect him closely."

"But think about it, if someone wants to harm Rosen, they will definitely take into account the armed forces around him. The Seven Warlords of the Sea are different. They are all pirates who have been collared by Mr. Rosen and hate him to the core."

"No matter who it is, when they assassinate Mr. Rosen, they would never have thought that the Seven Warlords of the Sea would protect him."

"In this way, I can get close to Mr. Rosen legitimately and protect him in a way that no one could have expected."

Seeing that the assassination had failed and everything was a foregone conclusion, Bartholomew Big Bear no longer concealed anything.

"As a pirate, I conduct naval warfare."

Borsalino stroked his chin, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Bartholomew Big Bear had changed drastically.

"To borrow a phrase from Mr. Rosen, I'm not that great."

"I did this just to protect him."

"In fact, not long ago, I was still considered an enemy of the navy and the government."

Bartholomew Big Bear looked at Borsalino and shook his head.

"Who are you?"

Crocodile knew that he was doomed to fail, so he decided to figure out everything before he was defeated.

"Mr. Rosen."

"Ginny asked me to give you her regards."

Bartholomew Big Bear ignored Crocodile and turned to speak to Rosen in a grateful and respectful tone.

"I see."

Gion, who was supporting Rosen, reacted immediately when he heard what Bartholomew Kuma said.

"You, you are the man Ginny has been waiting for."

Gild Tesoro blurted out when he heard this.

"Yes."

"Thank you both for taking care of and helping Ginny along the way."

"Grateful."

Bartholomew Kuma obviously also knew Gion, as well as Gild Tesoro.

"She and Bonnie, are they all right?"

Rosen's eyes were still fixed on the remains of the navy covered by the orange-yellow barrier.

"Thanks to you, Mr. Rosen, she and Bonnie are both fine."

Bartholomew Big Bear glanced at the navy who still hadn't resurrected, and thought to himself:

"Mr. Rosen."

"If you don't mind, please let me lend you a hand. I have the ability to eat the Meat Ball Fruit, which can eject a person's pain and fatigue from their body."

"You have resurrected so many marines in one go, so you must have been under incredible fatigue. I can help you."

Bartholomew Big Bear offered to help, but did not approach Rosen without permission.

Because the three admirals, the devil's heir and other navy officers did not let down their guard and were still staring at him.

It is also good to say that one should judge a gentleman by one's own standards.

But Rosen's safety is ultimately related to everything for the navy, so even though Bartholomew Kuma had just blocked Jurak Mihawk's slashing wave and Crocodile's desert greatsword, no navy could let Bartholomew Kuma get close to Rosen.

Bartholomew Big Bear also knew the navy's concerns, so after offering to help Rosen, he stood there and waited for the other party's decision.
