Boom!

On the second floor of the fortress, as the explosion trembled, a figure was sent flying into the air, gradually descending.

Rowen turned to look and smiled, "Not bad, you two, managing to suppress Kuma!"

The figure that flew out was none other than one of the Oka Shichibukai, the "Tyrant" Bartholomew Kuma.

It was hard to imagine that this powerful figure, who had roamed the seas for over a decade and was older than both of them, could be suppressed and sent flying.

Kuma's rebound ability was almost entirely concentrated in the paw pads on his palms. He possessed the Paw-Paw Fruit, not the Rebound-Rebound Fruit, so as long as one avoided those hands, they could deal damage.

Rowen hadn't had high hopes for the two before; after all, this condition was difficult to achieve. However, it now seemed…

"Good job!"

"Why would the Marines fight against a Shichibukai? Could it be…!!!"

Zoro, stunned, looked up, suddenly realizing something. He turned to make eye contact with Luffy, who wore a serious expression.

"Probably because the one helping us is this Shichibukai…"

Luffy lowered his eyelids and glanced at Zoro. "He's in danger. I don't like owing anyone a favor."

"Understood!"

Zoro flashed a bloodthirsty smile, his teeth clenched tightly around the hilt of his sword, as he spoke in a low voice, "Do what you want to do, Captain. Just leave this to me."

"Thank you, Zoro!"

Luffy nodded, turned, and swung his arm. 

His rubber arm immediately stretched out several dozen meters, grabbing the edges of nearby buildings. With a "Whiz," he launched himself like a slingshot.

"Moonlike Stream Murdering Sword…"

The tall and agile figure descended through the air, spinning and striking at the falling Kuma. However, suddenly, Kuma tilted his body, ignoring the blade's edge coming down in front of him, and raised his hand sideways against the air.

"Flash!"

*Clang!!*

The silver-white crescent blade swiftly traced a "Z" shape in the air. Dante's sword did not appear from the front but instead changed its path in an instant, coming to the side of Kuma and colliding, creating a shower of sparks.

"Marine Ghost Sword," with a heavy emphasis on that "ghost" character.

The "ghost" character conveys "deception," representing Dante's sword method, which was strange and mysterious; many times, enemies often didn't realize what Dante had done before losing their lives.

However, in facing Kuma, Dante's proficiency with his sword method was still insufficient.

He directly saw through the illusion and pinpointed the true direction of the attack.

After deflecting Dante's slash, Kuma decisively turned and pushed with his palm, the paw pad gently bouncing, allowing him to move flexibly in midair where he had no leverage.

Pressure Cannon!

In the air, Dante couldn't move as freely as Kuma, making him a living target.

But…

ROOM: Shambles!

Dante's figure vanished in an instant, and then a blade as thick as his arm came slashing in. The strike disregarded weight, hardness, and volume, forcing Kuma to abandon his attack and rebound backward, then press down with both hands.

Boom!!

"Almost there…!"

Dante gritted his teeth, the terrifying pressure of the cannonball impacting against the blade made his arms ache, and he nearly dropped the sword.

"Indeed…"

From a distance, Rowen observed this scene thoughtfully.

"After becoming familiar with these routines, it becomes hard to achieve results… But merely relying on defense and counterattacks won't realistically defeat them."

"Unless…"

Rowen shifted his gaze to the figure that had launched itself like a bullet, grinning at the sight.

"This is indeed a trend!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Law suddenly felt something enter his ROOM space. Surprised, he quickly turned his head to find a round, dark object in front of him.

"What is that?"

Law wondered in surprise: "A furry cannonball?"

The next moment…

Duang!!!

It was a rubber-headed hammer!

"Ugh… cough cough…"

The impact of his chin colliding with the opponent's hard skull momentarily left Law's mind blank, causing him to lose consciousness for a brief moment.

"What's going on?"

Both Dante and Kuma were bewildered by this sudden change, suspecting it was the other's tactic. They quickly decided to break off their entanglement and descended to the plaza.

Then…

"But… Bastard!!"

Law, with a face full of fury, bent down and touched his mouth with his hand, trembling all over.

The next moment, he raised Kikoku onto his shoulder, a murderous intent on his face as he lunged forward, "Die, asshole!!"

"Pū Chī…"

Rowen couldn't help but stifle a laugh; during the previous collision, Law had actually lost a tooth after being knocked into by Luffy.

This blow to his image was devastating, instantly transforming him from a slightly rebellious handsome guy into a dog-like traitor. If he had a fan in his hand, he would look even more fitting!

"Wow, so dangerous!"

Luffy yelled as he dodged the slashes, bouncing around like a monkey, using the edges of buildings to create distance.

"Asshole, don't run! I'm going to chop you down!"

"If you don't want me to run, then I won't! Are you stupid or am I?"

"Ah!!! Die!!"

As they watched Law getting more and more enraged by Luffy's taunts, Dante and Kuma exchanged strange glances… one second, two seconds, three seconds.

"Moonlike Stream Murdering Sword…"

"Bear Palm Impact!!"

The battle reignited, but Rowen still ignored it, turning his gaze back, raising his arm.

"Combine!"

Buzz!! 

The earth-shattering buzz rang incessantly as if the sky and the ground were crying out in despair. With a high-frequency tremor, under Kuma's somewhat sorrowful gaze, the densely woven Blue Electrical Net in the sky suddenly shrank together, the gaps disappearing.

"Next… are you not ready to make a move?"

Standing at the top of the mast, Rowen's cold gaze swept over Kuma and slowly surveyed the entire G-10 branch.

Perhaps Kuma didn't realize that this time, the ones infiltrating the G-10 branch were not just them.

An ominous feeling of threat lingered in Rowen's heart, making him very certain that there were other enemies lurking within the base. However, they were too well hidden for him to locate immediately.

Meanwhile, at the Marine Headquarters.

Buru Buru… Buru Buru…

"Nani? Kuma has invaded G-10 to rescue the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

Sengoku stood up in shock, his pupils shaking.

"Yes, it has been confirmed… The specific reason is still unclear. The Vice Admiral has activated the Thunder Slaying Heavenly Coffin, sealing off the entire base, so we cannot learn the internal situation."

On a sea far from G-10, the leading Colonel quickly reported, "Fleet Admiral, what should we do next?"

What to do…

Sengoku snapped back to reality, rubbing his forehead.

Although he had long been mentally prepared for the existence of traitors among the Shichibukai, Sengoku still felt a tremendous headache when he finally found the answer.

Bartholomew Kuma…

Why him?! 

He is the key core of the Pacifista project!

Even Mihawk would be better than Kuma!

Sengoku had already anticipated that the Shichibukai would soon undergo a second major purge. The fact that Bartholomew Kuma, who was so highly regarded by the higher-ups, turned out to be a traitor would undoubtedly infuriate the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars).

"Keep your distance so you aren't affected, and maintain contact at all times to report the situation."

After a long silence, Sengoku wearily ordered.

That was the only option left.

The G-series branch was isolated in the sea, and reinforcements were difficult to reach; if something went wrong, they would have to fend for themselves.

And once Rowen activated the Thunder Slaying Heavenly Coffin to seal off the base, it became even more so. Unless they could defeat him, getting in and out of the thunder curtain's cover range wouldn't be easy.

"Understood!"

The Colonel replied through the Den Den Mushi, and then the Dictate Battleship continued to distance itself from the sea to avoid being affected by the aftermath.

After a pause, Sengoku sat back down, opened a drawer, and took out a white Den Den Mushi.

"Connect me to the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars), it's an emergency!"
