"CP9?"
"World Government defectors, are you trying to stop me from doing my job?"
Bartholomew Kuma directly took off his gloves from the ruined castle, then lightly patted himself, instantly teleporting to the ground.
There was almost no sound.
Kaku and the others looked solemn; this was completely different from what they had imagined. After all, they originally thought they were dealing with Gekko Moriah, but they didn't expect a Shichibukai to appear.
"My goal is also to hand him over to the World Government, but not to kill him now."
"Others don't matter, but this guy must be handed over to me."
Uchiha Tamahiko continued.
At the same time, he activated his Sharingan the moment he appeared, realizing that when Bartholomew Kuma used his Devil Fruit ability to move, he could only catch afterimages.
It wasn't instantaneous movement; it was just too fast.
It was just too fast, almost like instantaneous movement, but it still couldn't escape the observation of the Sharingan.
Moreover, this ability had a pause—the moment he patted himself with his hand—which was enough for Uchiha Tamahiko to react.
"Are they going to fight?"
"Should we take this opportunity to escape?"
Usopp said in a very low voice.
Nami and Chopper, who were beside him, both approved of this plan.
Sanji and Nico Robin, on the other hand, felt that this matter was not so simple.
Only Zoro, at this moment, hated himself for not having combat power; otherwise, he wouldn't have to endure such humiliation!
"In that case, I'll just clean up a few more people."
'It's not too much trouble anyway!'
Bartholomew Kuma's tone was still very cold, almost devoid of emotion.
"Those guys are for you to handle; just don't interfere with the battlefield."
"Straw Hat, I want him alive."
Uchiha Tamahiko said to the CP9 members.
He told them to just keep an eye on the Straw Hat crew.
"Don't we need to deal with him?"
Kaku asked, somewhat confused.
He had thought these people were going to use them as cannon fodder.
But now it seemed that was not the case.
"You are too weak."
"Even with him, it'll only interfere with me."
"Let's begin."
Uchiha Tamahiko sneered.
This reaction made Kaku and the others' faces flush with anger.
Rob Lucci felt a deep sense of humiliation.
He had never been treated like this before; in the past, he was always valued by everyone, but now, he stood aside like a mere minion.
This feeling of loss made it somewhat difficult for him to accept.
"Then let's begin, Bartholomew Kuma."
'Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle'
Uchiha Tamahiko looked at this monster, whose body was almost three times his height.
But there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
Electric arcs directly appeared on his body; this was Lightning Release activating cells, increasing his physical reaction speed and strength.
The reason Bartholomew Kuma hadn't made a move yet was that he was overthinking.
He wondered if the World Government had guessed his true identity, and thus arranged these CP organization members to test him?
Had he been exposed?
Were there still ambushes around?
Should he escape directly with Dragon's son now, or continue to pretend to be a Shichibukai, a member obedient to the World Government's orders?
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
Uchiha Tamahiko directly breathed fire.
Meanwhile, CP9 and the others immediately rushed towards the Straw Hat and his companions.
The pirates who had been rescued by the Straw Hat also did not abandon them at this time, but instead chose to lend a helping hand.
"A Devil Fruit user?"
Bartholomew Kuma asked, puzzled.
But with a pat of his right hand, he directly dispersed the nearly three-meter-long fireball.
And Uchiha Tamahiko had already vanished from his sight.
"Such speed."
Bartholomew Kuma was somewhat surprised.
But he immediately noticed an attack coming towards him.
Three shurikens flew towards him from his left, right, and back.
Bartholomew Kuma patted himself once, changing his position, appearing on the ruins where he had just been, dodging the attack.
Here, he felt he could see further and find where his opponent was hiding.
"He's standing on the wall!!!"
But immediately, he was shocked.
Because he saw that the target he was looking for had, at some point, already stood on the wall beneath the ruins where he stood.
He was less than two meters away, his blood-red eyes staring straight at him.
He raised his hand, intending to unleash a Paw-Paw Pressure Cannon, but Uchiha Tamahiko's attack was faster.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
The Chidori formed in Uchiha's right palm directly changed its form, instantly extending outwards.
Like a sharp long spear, it pierced straight towards Bartholomew Kuma.
Bartholomew Kuma felt that his Pressure Cannon would likely be unable to block the current rushing towards him, so he chose to abandon releasing the Pressure Cannon and instead used his Paw-Paw to swat away the attack.
He didn't know why the user who had just unleashed Fire Release could suddenly switch styles and use lightning.
But this attack, he could not withstand.
He chose to use his right hand, which was releasing the attack, to swat at this electric current.
The Chidori Sharp Spear struck the Paw-Paw, was directly deflected, and almost rebounded back at a ninety-degree angle.
"Boom!"
The Chidori Sharp Spear hit the wall, directly blasting a hole in it.
"Can it reflect elemental attacks?!"
"That's a really powerful ability."
Uchiha Tamahiko, at the same time the Chidori Sharp Spear was reflected, caught it and instantly moved away.
And Tyrant Kuma also began to get angry.
He also felt that these people didn't seem to be sent by the World Government to test him.
Their attacks were very fierce, with no intention of testing whether he was part of the Revolutionary Army.
"If you like to hide, then I'll see where you can hide!"
"Violent Push Pressure Cannon!"
Bartholomew Kuma slightly lowered his body, like a sumo wrestler.
Then he continuously pushed his hands forward, and one after another, paw-shaped pressure cannons were fired from his palms.
The targets were all the ground beneath his feet.
Including those pirates, CP9, and the Straw Hat crew.
Because he knew that the shock wouldn't harm Luffy, as Luffy was a rubber man; only slashes would have a direct effect, or attacks imbued with Armament Haki.
So he could unleash the Pressure Cannon recklessly, covering all areas to force his opponent out.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Each Pressure Cannon was like a cannonball, exploding directly upon impact with an object.
The castle area looked as if it had been carpet-bombed, with one crater after another appearing.
Many of the pirates previously hoarded by Moriah were caught in the attack and immediately began to flee.
CP9 and the others also got scared; Kaku picked up Rob Lucci and started to run.
"Lightning Blade Transformation."
However, Uchiha Tamahiko wasn't just dodging.
Finding a suitable position, he directly opened the hidden scroll on his wrist, constantly throwing projectiles, attacking Bartholomew Kuma.
Almost like a machine gun, projectiles rushed from around Bartholomew Kuma, not just from one direction.
Trying to block so many with two hands was almost impossible.
"Found you!"
But Bartholomew Kuma had no intention of blocking.
He lightly patted himself with his hand, appearing directly in front of Uchiha Tamahiko.
Then he raised his hand and directly slapped towards Uchiha Tamahiko.
