Chapter 732 Monster? Suppress! (Two-in-one)
It was not until Bakara pulled out a gun and pointed it at Usopp that Luffy, Usopp and the others realized that they seemed to have fallen into the enemy's trap.
“Crash—”
Usopp was not afraid of the gun pointed at him. He stood up quickly and looked at the woman in front of him who was almost a head taller than him. His face became extremely ugly.
"In a place like Wanguo, there are things like seastone handcuffs."
"He kept saying he was arrested."
"You guys, are you a new navy?"
Usopp is not a fool. On the contrary, apart from his slightly lacking strength and sometimes being a little naive due to his experience, in terms of IQ, this guy can be considered a leader even among the Straw Hat Pirates.
Considering his and Luffy's current situation, it was actually very easy for him to guess the other party's identity.
At this moment, Usopp couldn't help but secretly regret in his heart that he should not have let his guard down. Even in a place like a tavern, he should never give up his disguise.
The reason why the other party could recognize his and Luffy's identities so easily was probably because he recognized them through the conversation between him and Luffy.
After all, this is Wanguo, the headquarters of the new navy. No one knows what kind of identity and occasion the people of the new navy will appear in.
After all, it was because he and Luffy acted too frivolously that they were discovered.
"Well, you're right."
"I'm Bakara, the colonel of the Wan Guo headquarters."
"Welcome to the Bankoku, both of you from the Straw Hat Pirates!"
Bakara saw Usopp stand up, but she didn't intend to shoot immediately. In such a crowded place, in principle, the navy couldn't rashly use firearms. If they accidentally injured ordinary people, even if they successfully captured the pirates, the mission would not be considered a success.
And the most fundamental reason is that Bakara is full of confidence in herself. She has some understanding of the Straw Hat Pirates. Although she has heard that the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Straw Hat Luffy, is very powerful, he was able to not only defeat Vice Admiral Jinbe stationed on Fishman Island, but was even able to defeat the most advanced weapon developed by the New Navy, Seraph.
But even so, Straw Hat Luffy is not invincible.
He is a person with special abilities, which is Straw Hat Luffy's biggest weakness. Bakara also grasped this weakness of Luffy very well and successfully used seastone handcuffs to handcuff Luffy.
The power that a person with special abilities who is suppressed by seastone can exert is extremely limited. In Bakara's eyes, a guy of this level no longer poses a threat.
As for Usopp, although it was the first time they met each other and he was not very clear about the other party's background, the other party had been affected by his lucky fruit, and even if he had good combat power, he could not pose any threat.
In Bakara's eyes, this encounter was actually over!
"Let me guess, how did you two sneak into the Wan Guo?"
"Did you take someone else's merchant ship?"
As he spoke, Bakara stared closely into Usopp's eyes. Seeing that he remained unmoved, he continued:
"It doesn't look like that. It should be Wanguo who disguised his own ship and infiltrated, right?"
Bakara's words were full of temptation. When she said this, Usopp's heart was stirred. The subtle fluctuation of emotions also had a subtle reaction on his face, and this micro-expression was also accurately captured by Bakara.
The interrogation ability of the New Navy has long been mastered by people like Bakara who are good at observing people's words and expressions. A naive young man like Usopp will still be full of flaws in front of her even if he doesn't speak.
"Well, it seems so."
"Then the rest of your crew should also be on this island, right?"
Bakara looked at Usopp. Although the other party did not speak, judging from his expression, Bakara had a general understanding of the situation of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Usopp, Chopper, you two run!"
At this moment, the handcuffed Luffy used up the last bit of strength in his body and slammed his head against Bakara's head.
Even with the suppression of seastone, Luffy's devil fruit ability can still produce some effect.
Seastone only suppresses the abilities of ability users, but Luffy's body itself is still made of rubber and still has a certain degree of flexibility.
Bakara obviously did not expect that Luffy could still have some countermeasures in such a situation, and Luffy's determination to protect his partners also made him burst out with strength that did not belong to him at such a critical moment.
Although Bakara reacted extremely quickly and protected her head with Armament Haki, she still staggered after being hit by Luffy, and the gun pointing at Usopp couldn't help but tilt.
"Luffy, Usopp, I'm here to help you!"
As soon as the flaw was exposed, Chopper seized the opportunity, let out a low roar, and his petite body quickly swelled into a "ball".
Fur enhancement!
As soon as he finished speaking, Chopper's figure suddenly appeared in front of Usopp, and Bakara stood firm at this time. She almost didn't need to use her eyes to see, and adjusted the muzzle of the gun based on her intuition, and shot directly at Usopp's ankle.
Although she didn't think the other party had the ability to escape from her hands, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she decided to make the pirate lose his ability to move first!
"Bang--"
As the gunshot rang out, a bullet shot out, only to be caught directly by Chopper, who had rushed over. The firearms of the New Navy were different from those circulating on the sea. Even the pistols were far more powerful than ordinary long-barreled flintlock rifles.
However, after his fur was strengthened, Chopper's defense was even comparable to that of steel. Copper bullets shot at Chopper could not penetrate his skin at all.
However, the huge impact force still poured on Chopper, and his body leaned backward and hit Usopp.
Perhaps because Usopp's luck was taken away by Bakara, the flying Chopper happened to hit Usopp in the lower body. Usopp, who was hit hard, only felt a sharp pain in his lower body. After being knocked to the ground by Chopper, he curled up his body, his face pale, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Chopper! Usopp!"
Luffy heard the gunshot and saw Chopper fall and Usopp yelling nervously.
Bakara also glanced sideways at Usopp and Chopper, and Chopper, who had landed, just bounced on the ground and flew directly into the air. He didn't care about Usopp at all and attacked Bakara directly.
Chopper knew very well that the most urgent task was to get rid of this woman. As long as the enemy could be eliminated, Luffy and Usopp could be brought back.
As for the seastone handcuffs in Luffy's hands, Franky will naturally find a way to open them after returning.
Although seastone handcuffs can restrain people with special abilities, they are just a pair of handcuffs after all. For a skilled craftsman like Franky, unlocking them is not a difficult task. Franky doesn't even need to do anything. Give Usopp some time, and this guy who likes to tinker with some strange weapons will be able to open them.
"Can a pet reindeer fight?!"
Bakara was surprised and raised her gun, preparing to shoot Chopper. However, the ball-shaped Chopper in mid-air suddenly turned into a chubby "human" shape, let out a strange cry, and the speed of falling suddenly increased.
"Wacha!"
The next moment, Chopper flew in front of Bakara and kicked her wrist. The huge force made Bakara unable to hold the gun anymore, and she could only let the gun be kicked away.
After a successful attack, Chopper landed on the ground without any pause. He lunged forward, his hooves forming a print, and slapped Bakara's lower abdomen directly.
The series of movements were completed in one go, and his strong physical ability and skills were even stronger than some veterans in the navy.
Bakara is a woman, and also a person with special abilities. Using the power of the devil fruit allows her to be invincible. However, she is still lacking in physical training. In addition, she has not received formal education in the naval school, so she also lacks the ability to respond.
Facing Chopper's attack, Bakara, who had no time to dodge, grabbed Luffy's neck and used him as a meat shield, blocking him in front of himself.
Perhaps Luffy, like Usopp, had lost his luck, and Chopper couldn't stop his attack with all his strength. He pressed down with his hooves and hit Luffy's lower body.
Luffy, who had originally shouted at Chopper and Usopp to run first, immediately widened his eyes. The severe pain made his body tremble like a sieve. Even though he was being carried by someone, he couldn't help but hunch his body.
"ah?!"
"I'm sorry! Luffy!!"
After hitting Luffy, Chopper fell back to the ground and was stunned, his face full of guilt. However, this pause in the fight exposed a fatal flaw.
"call out--"
A strong gust of wind suddenly blew, and Bakara seized the opportunity and kicked directly at Chopper.
Chopper was kicked in the waist and was caught off guard. The whole deer flew out and hit the wall of the bar. With a loud roar, broken stones and wood chips flew out.
With such a big fight, the drinkers in the bar realized that something was wrong and left one after another. Except for some skilled people who planned to stay in the bar to watch the navy catch thieves, ordinary people had run away in just one or two minutes.
At the dice table, only Yixiao was left. He had no intention of intervening in the fight, but just took the sieve from the dealer and started shaking it.
In front of the bar, Bakara succeeded in a strike, and the sideways kick of the white thigh made the surrounding drinkers' eyes light up and cheer.
I don’t know whether they were cheering for the navy’s fight against pirates, or just cheering for the fleeting sight of long white legs.
The air was filled with sawdust and smoke, completely obscuring Chopper's figure.
Just as Bakara's expression relaxed, he suddenly heard a monster-like roar from the smoke and dust:
"throat!!!"
"Give me back Luffy and Usopp!!!"
The roar was deafening. The roof of the bar seemed to have been hit by some unknown huge force. Dust fell down, the lights swayed, and the beams were slightly twisted.
At the same time, a huge hand several meters long suddenly stretched out from the smoke and dust and grabbed Bakara directly.
The terrifying power even formed a strong hurricane, which made everyone in the bar squint their eyes involuntarily.
“?!!”
Bakara saw the attack beyond the intelligence. She looked at the big hand that suddenly emerged from the smoke and grabbed her. Her pretty face changed slightly. She didn't care about Luffy in her hand and directly threw the boy backwards. At the same time, she also jumped back quickly to dodge.
"boom!!!!"
A large hand reached into the tavern, crushing countless tables, chairs, and benches. The flying wood chips caused a thick yellow dust to rise in the tavern, making it impossible to see what was happening.
The ordinary people who had escaped early were now standing on the street several meters away. They saw a four-story-tall deer-shaped monster reaching out to take something from the tavern in front of them.
This horrifying scene also made some local residents realize that something was wrong, and they used their Den Den Mushi at home to contact the naval branch stationed on Hazelnut Island.
Inside the bar, Bakara narrowly avoided the monster's attack. At the same time, the ceiling was broken by a strange monster, and moonlight mixed with street lights shone into the room, allowing Bakara to see clearly the "person" who attacked her.
A towering giant monster roared again after its attack missed, and then reached out to grab Bakara.
In Bakara's eyes, the enemy's target of attack is herself.
But only Chopper, who had transformed into a monster at this time, knew that his target was Luffy, who was left behind by Bakara, and attacking that woman was just a feint!
And when Bakara didn't notice, Usopp, who was originally curled up on the ground, was no longer in the tavern.
At this moment, Bakara's entire attention was focused on the monster that suddenly appeared. It went without saying that this must be the pet of the Straw Hat Pirates using some kind of ability.
Bakara guessed that the other party should also be a person with special abilities, and this was something that had not been reflected in the previous intelligence about the Straw Hat Pirates.
However, Bakara was no longer able to care about the intelligence officer of the Monster Fishman Island. After Chopper transformed into a "giant", not only did his attack range increase, but his speed and strength were also improved.
Faced with Chopper's attack, Bakara had no intention of fighting back and could only fly backward and dodge.
As she dodged, Chopper achieved his goal and grabbed Luffy's body and took out the bar.
It was not until this moment that Bakara realized what the other party's goal was.
Chopper, who successfully rescued Usopp and Luffy, didn't want to get entangled with the navy officer Bakara at this moment. He understood that after making such a big commotion, the new navy on the island would take action immediately, and he could no longer stay in this place.
Just as he was about to leave with Luffy and Usopp, Yixiao, who had been sitting at the gambling table, suddenly stood up slowly, tapped the ground with his cane, and sighed softly:
“I didn’t expect it to be so destructive.”
"Such a huge loss has already been caused. If we let you leave, the loss will be even greater."
As he was speaking, a terrifying gravity was suddenly applied to Chopper, causing him to stagger as he was about to leave. He could not stand steadily and fell to the ground with Luffy and Usopp.
Yixiao was reluctant to take action. His power was too terrifying and the damage he caused was too great. Using the gravity fruit on this busy street would cause unnecessary losses.
But the progress of the battle was beyond his expectations, and at this point, he had no choice but to take action.
