New week bonus chapter
....
Shisui appeared next to Bartholomew Kuma's right hand, which had just swatted at Usopp and Chopper; a Sea Stone handcuff was already clamped around its wrist.
Bartholomew Kuma's Devil Fruit power was almost instantly diminished, making it impossible for him to achieve the effects he normally would.
Bartholomew Kuma was given no time to react.
"Water Release: Water Prison Jutsu!"
Itachi appeared on Bartholomew Kuma's shoulder.
At the same time, he unrolled a scroll, releasing the seawater stored within it, and cast the Water Prison Jutsu, covering Bartholomew Kuma's head with seawater.
Originally, this water was enough to cover an ordinary person's entire body, but for Bartholomew Kuma, it only reached above his shoulders.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Tamahiko and Shisui used steel wires to pull Bartholomew Kuma's hands apart, tying the wires to a nearby tree to prevent his paw pads from touching his body again, thus avoiding any chance of him retaliating.
"Their combat style is indeed a bit too simple; it's just head-on confrontation."
After confirming Bartholomew Kuma's capture, Uchiha Tamahiko finally had the leisure to comment.
Usopp and Chopper, including the unconscious Luffy, were all Shadow Clones he had created when Bartholomew Kuma used his wide-range pressure cannon.
He used them as bait, and it surprisingly worked.
Defeating Bartholomew Kuma was simple, but capturing this guy truly required some thought.
Indeed, tactics were needed; using such a cunning method made it much simpler to resolve.
Otherwise, the consumption of his ocular jutsu would be too great.
Unless absolutely necessary, Uchiha Tamahiko did not wish to use the power of the Mangekyo to resolve things, whether it was for himself, Shisui, or Itachi.
"It seems that genjutsu is indeed not very effective against stronger individuals."
Meanwhile, Shisui was analyzing.
Among genjutsu users, he was the most effective, Itachi was second, and Uchiha Tamahiko had actually studied genjutsu the least.
It greatly surprised him that his ocular jutsu included a genjutsu-type technique.
"These monsters have experienced many battles; their spirits are exceptionally resilient, naturally incomparable to ordinary people."
"In the Ninja World, genjutsu is actually only effective against Ninja below the level of Elite Jonin; Kage-level powerhouses are generally not significantly affected by genjutsu."
"Of course, Shisui, you are different; you might be able to surpass this level, but it is very difficult for ordinary Uchiha Clan members to achieve. One must rely on comprehensive strength to get stronger; relying solely on genjutsu is not enough."
Uchiha Tamahiko offered some guidance to Shisui.
To prevent him from becoming single-minded and stubbornly pursuing only one path.
"Understood."
Shisui nodded, saying no more.
But at this moment, Bartholomew Kuma began to move.
His head, covered by seawater, opened its mouth directly, and a flash of light slowly gathered within it.
However, before the flash could be fired, Uchiha Tamahiko pierced Bartholomew Kuma's mouth directly with a short blade, 貫穿 (penetrating) straight through to the back of his head.
"I forgot he's a cyborg. Even if his Devil Fruit and body can't be used, he can still fire lasers."
Uchiha Tamahiko said calmly after delivering the finishing blow.
Then, after waiting a while, and after Bartholomew Kuma did not die and lost all ability to fight back.
"You two watch him; I'll finish up."
"Leave five to help Shisui and the others; the rest come with me."
Uchiha Tamahiko then ordered.
As his voice fell, five people appeared around Shisui and the others.
Uchiha Tamahiko, meanwhile, directly charged towards the jungle, preparing to capture Straw Hat Luffy.
Such an enemy, with weaknesses and easy to expose, is much simpler to deal with.
If it were someone like Hawkeye, resolving it would only be possible through head-on strength.
"Damn it, Firebird Star!"
Usopp was in a panic.
He hadn't expected himself to be the one with stronger combat power at this moment, actually able to help the team cover their retreat.
He fired an attack from his large slingshot, igniting the forest, hoping to stop CP9's pursuit.
"Too slow!"
"Finger Pistol!"
Kaku dodged the attack with a Soru, appearing next to Usopp, and raised his hand, preparing to directly pierce the heart of this man who shared his attributes.
"Clang!"
However, his finger struck the blade of the Wado Ichimonji, emitting a crisp sound.
"Sizzle."
But at the same time, Zoro's body began to bleed from his wounds due to the force.
"Go!"
Zoro said in a deep voice.
"Zoro!"
Usopp was hesitant; though his nature wanted to run away.
But doing so would be too disloyal!
"Your movements are a bit too slow."
But before Kaku could make another move.
Uchiha Tamahiko emerged from the forest.
Kaku was startled.
"Bartholomew Kuma..."
He then couldn't help but ask directly.
"Naturally, he's been dealt with."
As Uchiha Tamahiko's voice fell.
He reappeared, already between Zoro and Usopp.
Zoro's pupils constricted, and his free left hand prepared to draw his sword and slash at the man who dared to appear behind him.
"Chidori Stream!"
But Uchiha Tamahiko's entire body discharged electricity, like an electric net, with arcs scattering in all directions.
Usopp and Zoro couldn't dodge in time and were directly hit by the current.
Electricity crackled around both of them; Usopp fainted directly, and Zoro's body also became uncontrollable, falling to the ground, though he still retained a sliver of consciousness.
"I won't take the weapon that embodies your conviction."
"The other two, consider them spoils of war, I'm taking them."
Uchiha Tamahiko said as he took the Black Blade Shusui and the Sandai Kitetsu directly from Zoro's waist.
Zoro's eyes were bloodshot with fury, but he was helpless.
This act of NTR-ing a swordsman right in front of him directly made Zoro faint from anger.
"Don't kill them. Take these two back to the castle."
Uchiha Tamahiko glanced at Kaku and said directly.
Kaku dared not speak further, silently picked up the two, and walked back.
"Patriarch, the target is approximately a thousand meters southwest."
An Uchiha Clan member appeared, giving Uchiha Tamahiko the intel.
Uchiha Tamahiko, holding the two swords, rushed in the direction the clan member indicated.
"You pervert, this time I'm definitely going to beat you to death!"
Fukurou waved his fists, continuously striking Franky.
Meanwhile, Sanji and Nico Robin tried to deal with Kalifa and Jabra, among others.
"Damn it!"
"I must protect everyone!"
Chopper, with his 50-Beli bounty, was ready to fight an even bigger battle.
"Clatter!"
The Sea Stone handcuffs fell to the ground.
Rob Lucci's Sea Stone handcuffs were broken by Kumadori, one of the members who, along with Fukurou, did not possess Devil Fruit abilities.
"These small fries are so noisy!"
Rob Lucci's eyes were cold.
Having suffered so much humiliation, he now felt like venting his frustration.
