Chapter 263: Arc 16: Taking Back O-Tama - A Fierce Fight Against Holdem!
"Save her?" Holdem echoed. "How would you save her? Don't move. If you resist, this brat's body will be chewed up by Kamijiro, the lion in my stomach."
"Otama!" Okiku shouted. "We'll save you now."
"Let go of Tama, Holdem." Luffytaro demanded. "Or I'm gonna kick your ass."
"Just say whatever you like, fool." Holdem laughed. "I'm never gonna give her back to you. Why do you want this stupid brat back so bad? I guess you know about her ability. I'll hold you guys hostage and catch Shutenmaru, too. "
"Who's that?" Luffytaro was confused.
"Don't play dumb." Holdem hollered. "He's the head of your thieves brigade. The robberies at the farm these days are the work of you Atamayama Thieves Brigade, aren't they? Even if it's by sheer dumb luck, you took down Urashima. So I bet you're one of his important subordinates. What's wrong?" he mocked. "Why don't you try to take back this little brat? But if you even move an inch, this is what will happen." he let Kamijiro tighten his jaws around Tama. "Oh, what sweet, anguished cries of the lowly." he laughed. "Don't forget that you tossed that yokozuna and destroyed my house."
"What's going on, Holdem?" Speed asked, arriving with the Treasure Ship in tow, loaded with provisions from the Paradise Farm.
"Zoro, can you handle that?" Luffytaro pointed to the Treasure Ship. "I'll save Tama."
"Kiku, I'm sorry, but we've decided to steal it and run." Zorojuro grinned, realizing Luffytaro's intentions. "I'm sure it'd piss him off, but it's better than kicking his ass, right?"
Outside Bakura Town...
Hawkins and his troops were stopped from proceeding by the masked Law near the gates.
"I need you to stop here, Basil Hawkins." Law voiced.
Back at the wrestling ring...
"Now, it's fun talking to you but it's over." Holdem grinned. "From here, the real fun starts. I don't care if happen to kill one or two in the process. Catch them right now." he sent the remaining samurai and Pleasures in.
Zorojuro simply took out the first wave with a slash from Sandai Kitetsu.
"Look what you've done." Holdem scoffed. "I see now. You don't need the brat back, right? Then, I'll have her chewed up as you wish. Go ahead, Kamijiro."
Said lion head snapped its mouth open and proceeded to bite Tama.
At that moment, both Luffytaro and Zorojuro moved.
Coating his arm with Armament Haki, Luffytaro jumped in front of Kamijiro and punched the lion's nose before its teeth could close in on Tama. With Tama in his arms, he leapt to another rooftop.
"Kamijiro, what the hell are you doing?" Holdem barked, seeing his hostage was gone.
"Aniki?" Tama's vision cleared.
Meanwhile, Zorojuro was cutting down the Treasure Ship's guards. Deflecting Speed's Armament Haki-infused arrows, he took down the rest of the guards with one single attack.
"Protect the Treasure Ship at all costs." Speed ordered the rear guards.
"You bastard!" Holdem bristled. "Kamijiro." he looked down at the lion on his stomach and said beat breathed out fire that coated his sword. "I'll chop you up with a flaming sword." "No one's ever gotten away from my Trick Mechanism Sword." he bragged, splitting the metal potion of his blade into a metal flail. "Hell Fire Edge!" he tossed the fiery whip at Luffytaro.
Elsewhere, Zorojuro and Okiku worked in tandem and took out the remaining of Speed's guards.
"Dog, this way!" Zorojuro barked, climbing onto the Treasure Ship.
Komachiyo barked and lifted Okiku with its head into the Treasure Ship. Grabbing the ropes with its jaws, the komainu made a run towards the gates.
"What happened to your cheek?" Luffytaro noticed Tama's swollen cheek as he dodged Holdem's sword.
"It's nothing." Tama assured. "It was just pulled by some pincers. Kibi Dango; you won't be able to pull it out like that."
"Pincers?" Luffytaro glared. "Give me a minute." he dropped Tama for a moment. Clocking an arms back, he charged up for a 'Red Hawk'.
"Roar, Lion Fire!" Holdem had Kamijiro release a fireball at Luffytaro.
"Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk!" the unfazed Luffytaro burst through the fireball and slammed the fiery fist into Holdem.
