Chapter 961: Bear: My nephew’s pirate group is not doing well... I have to help him!
The bear looked around and soon saw the two short boys, Stinger and Roger, falling in front of him on the left and right, with a look of slight surprise on his face.
"Two little kids can attack at this level?! Those wizards are really amazing!"
From the attack just now, Xiong already knew the position of the wizards, and also used his observation Haki to notice that many people were gathering in this direction.
Although he was not afraid of being beaten up, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy. After all, everyone in the entire ocean knew that each wizard was not an easy person to deal with - not only did they have the ability to defeat two of the Four Emperors at the same time, they were also very protective of their own shortcomings.
"A wizard? It looks like this operation is going to fail..."
The bear muttered to himself, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly without anyone noticing before quickly returning to its original position. He was already beaming with joy.
He knew very well that the World Government would definitely not want to offend the wizards at this juncture, which just gave him the opportunity to let the Straw Hat Pirates leave.
If later someone from the World Government or the Navy asks him why he didn't capture the Straw Hat Pirates, he can answer with an excuse like 'It was the Wizards and Buggy the Clown who rescued them , and I had no choice but to retreat', and the other party will have nothing to say.
The attack was deflected, and although Stinger and Roger were surprised, they quickly suppressed their surprise and attacked the bear again.
Stinger rushed forward with two balls of white magic light condensing on his fists. He arrived next to the bear in a few breaths, then leaped up and smashed down with dragon-slaying magic.
"White Dragon's Holy Rain of Light!!"
At the same time, Rogue's whole body turned into elements, and he arrived in the form of shadow, strangely appearing in the bear's blind spot, and also used his most familiar dragon-slaying magic.
"Shadow Dragon's Sparrow Flash Attack!!"
Stinger and Rogue worked in perfect harmony and launched another move, this time a scattered attack. Controlled by the two, the milky white lasers and pure black shadows continuously swept towards the bear's position like a machine gun, making a 'pa pa pa' sound of air explosions.
The black and white magical energy attacked him from all directions, but the bear was not afraid at all.
Magic is also a kind of energy. Even if some attacks are in the blind spot of vision, they still cannot escape the perception of Observation Haki. In the bear's perception, the attacks of Stinger and Rogue are completely visible.
Then the next moment, the meat|ball fruit bounced through the air.
Boom boom boom…
The attacks of Bai and Ying's dragon-killing magic blasted a large amount of smoke and dust on the ground. The battlefield, which was already in ruins, became even more messy under the bombardment of the two.
"It's still a lot less powerful than Natsu-san..."
Looking at the movement in front of him, Stinger's eyes flashed with disappointment, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a sunny smile, "It seems that I still need to work harder!"
When the smoke and dust cleared, the place where the magic bombing occurred was empty.
However, Stinger and Roger were not surprised by this, because the moment the attack landed, they found that the scent of the bear disappeared from the spot.
The two men followed the scent of the bear and discovered that the tall figure had crossed a distance of dozens of meters in just an instant and went behind the pirates.
"not good!!"
The ability to teleport made the pirates' hearts tighten at the same time, and driven by their body instincts, they launched attacks towards the enemies in front of them.
"Two Swords Style: Lion Rest!!"
"Devil's Wind Legs: Shourou!!"
"Powerful right punch!!"
Ding! Dong! Bang!
Zoro, Sanji and Franky attacked at the same time, but after three muffled sounds, Bear was unharmed, only his clothes were slightly torn, revealing the alloy body inside that was harder than steel.
“So hard!!”
"Is this guy a cyborg?"
"A cyborg plus a devil fruit user, this guy is more troublesome than Moria!"
The bear's ability surprised Stinger and Roger: "This guy's ability just now... is it teleportation?!"
"The effect is somewhat similar to space magic, but the principle is different."
Looking across the entire Aslant, there are only a handful of people who can use space magic, because this kind of magic is too difficult to master.
Although the two Dragon Slayers are young, they have joined Fairy Tail and watched the Grand Magic Battle. Their knowledge and experience are not comparable to that of other children of their age. Their eyesight is also not bad. After these two moves, they have already judged the power of the bear and the difference in strength between the two sides.
"Rogge, this is not good..."
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like I can't win. What should I do?"
“You bastard… at least struggle a little longer! You’ve only been able to hit me twice!!”
Every time Roger saw Stinger's sloppy look, he got a headache, but Stinger never changed and continued to do as he pleased.
"Anyway, we don't have any deep hatred with him. If we just talk nicely, there shouldn't be any need to fight, right? Look, even the Council sometimes turns a blind eye to people from the Dark Guild, doesn't it?"
The corner of Roger's eye twitched. He knew that Stinger must have mistaken the Navy for the Council and the pirates for the Dark Guild. He felt helpless and had to explain aloud: "That's because the Kingdom came forward to guarantee it! Also, the Navy and the Council are different!"
He suddenly paused, thought for a moment and continued, "But then again, we are not pirates after all, so maybe we do have a chance?"
Hearing this, Stinger's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?! I said this method has a chance!"
Although they couldn't see the upper limit of the bear's attack yet, since it could deflect magical attacks and teleport, it was already invincible.
In fact, even in the original Fairy Tail, the strength of Stinger and Rogue is always inferior to Minerva who uses space magic, so it is normal that they cannot beat Kuma now.
Just as the two were discussing how to negotiate with the bear, the bear asked first: "Are you two wizards?"
"Huh? You actually know about wizards?!"
When the two men and two cats heard the bear reveal his identity, they were surprised, but they soon figured out what was going on.
"Come to think of it, Nami-san said before that Irene-san and Mira-san have been in the newspapers and are already famous on the sea, so it's not surprising that he knows about mages... But how did this guy know that we are mages?"
"Maybe it's because of the guild emblems on our bodies..."
While the two people were still chatting casually , the bear on the other side had already started to take advantage of the situation and was planning to retreat.
"Since there are wizards here, I will let you go for now. I don't think the World Government wants to provoke another huge force at this time..."
These few casual words surprised Zoro and the others. They frowned and looked sideways, and started discussing in a low voice.
"A huge force? Is he talking about the wizard?"
"But didn't Kira say that they only had over a hundred people? And they were all separated."
"Maybe something terrible happened outside in the past two days? We are trapped in this damn place and can't receive any news from the outside world..."
“…”
The voices of several people naturally did not escape Xiong's ears, and the more he listened, the more anxious he became: "Why are there so many young brats who don't value intelligence in my nephew's pirate group? They didn't even collect the intelligence of the world-shaking wizard in the first place. How are they going to survive in the New World in the future? No! I have to help them!"
Thinking of this, Xiong suddenly reached into his arms, took out a recent newspaper and threw it on the ground, trying to act casually: "Now in the New World, the Wizards organization has defeated the Beast Pirates and Big Mom's Four Emperors in a row, and even Kaido and Charlotte Linlin have lost. Their momentum is at its peak!"
When these words came out, the first reaction of the extra pirates was shock, absurdity, and the other party was lying.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Defeated the beasts and Big Mom? Are you kidding me?! Those are two of the 'Four Emperors'!!"
"Let's not talk about the two emperors. The pirates under their command are all extremely powerful. How could they be defeated by an unknown wizard?"
"Even the strongest Whitebeard doesn't have the strength to defeat two pirate groups at once, right?!!"
Most of the pirates like Lola were born in the New World, so even though they were trapped in the Devil's Triangle for several years, they knew the importance of the 'Four Emperors'.
Lola, the captain of these people, is Big Mom's biological daughter. She knows how powerful her mother is, so she doesn't believe a word of what Xiong said. But after seeing the content in the newspaper, she has to believe it.
Since the World Economic News reported it, it can’t be false!
