Having his limbs sealed against the ground, Brogy angrily eyed Mister 3 and his minions.
" You, I swear on my honor that I would massacre you. "
" But of course ! " Assured Mister 3, while Miss Goldenweek ate a cookie.
Not wasting his time with the giant, the man-candle then turned to a huge wax construction, where a small number of people stood. Gin, Vivi, Zoro, Raynare, Nami, Yosaku and Neni. With each of their feet caught in thick wax, none of the pirates could move. Having his tonfas with him, Gin had hit the wax several times to free himself. However, it was barely if he managed to leave a few marks.
" Damn it , it's as hard as steel. "
For her part, Raynare, had her arms and chest covered with wax to prevent her from using her powers. She was unable to fly or throw her spears without the help of her arms.
" Motherfucker ! " Roared from her.
" So, how do you find my Candle Set ? " Wanted to know Mister 3. " This is one of my best masterpieces. "
" Mister 3. " Vivi whispered angrily.
" Princess of Alabasta, I am honored to meet such an important person as you ! However, I'm curious to see you too, Mister 9 ! You were aware of the strength of Baroque Works though, right ? "
" Shut up ! I have nothing to do with murderers like you. "
" Tsss, definitely, you are really just a bunch of idiots. " Mr 3 asserted, before turning to Brogy. " Like that fool of a giant, whom I had to help so that he could kill his rival. "
" What ? " Brogy wondered. " What are you talking about ? "
" Sorry ? " Interrogated Mr. 3, in all innocence. " What do you want to know ? "
'' Did you just tell me that you helped me kill Dorry ? What do you mean ? I didn't need anyone's help to defeat him. "
" Do you really think it ? " Asked Mr 3, with a broad smile. " To tell you the truth, we trapped one of the barrels of alcohol you gave him ! We put enough explosives to make his stomach explode. "
" What? "
'' In truth, I didn't care whether you were the winner or not! All that mattered was one of you dying so I could take care of the second! It is very simple. "
" You ... sabotaged our duel ? "
" What's the problem ? You must be happy ! At least you have experienced victory ! Well, that's not all, but I have people to transform into statues. "
Suddenly snapping his fingers, he lit the candles at the top of his creation. Then, all of a sudden, the top of his construction began to spin above the pirates.
" Hey, what's going on ? " Wanted to know Nami.
" Welcome to my Set service. " Announced Mr 3.
Having a bad feeling, Raynare cried out.
" Oi, Zoro ! Do something ! "
Attempting to slice the wax with his saber, Zoro retorted.
" Tsss. Too hard ! Try to explode the wax with your spears. "
" I can't throw them without the help of my arms. "
" Hey, something falls. " Vivi suddenly noticed, seeing white particles falling all around them.
" Snow ? " Yosaku wondered, trying his hand.
" No, it's wax. " Nami retorted.
" Wax ? " Neni wondered. " How do they want to kill us with this ? "
" You are really idiots. " Mr 3 noticed. " So enjoy the taste of the Candle Service Set ! The wax that falls on you will turn your bodies into wax statues ! It will allow me to create something that even my talents cannot: a perfect human statue! You are going to die, to allow my art to reach its peak. "
" What ? " Nami horrified.
" We must free ourselves. " Yosaku yelled, hitting the wax in vain.
" You coward. " Raynare roared, staring at Mr 3. " Free me and let's fight ! Are you Mr 3 ? My ass ! Even that jester of Mr 5 is stronger than you! What makes you strong is your cowardice. "
" My cowardice ? " Said Mr 3. " Idiot ! What makes me superior is my intelligence and my cunning ! I'll kill you with my brain. "
" No, not that. " Nami horrified. " Brogy, help ! Do something or you will become a wax statue too. "
However, to her surprise, she noticed that the giant made no move to free himself.
" Brogy ? "
" It's useless to count on him. " Assured Mr 3. " This fat fool just realized he just killed his rival, Dorry, whom he fought against for a hundred years ! However, he did not do it on his own, it took a genius like me to help him win this pathetic fight ! It's really hilarious ! So this is the honor of the Elbaf warriors ? HAHAHAHA. "
" I knew it. " Suddenly announced the giant.
" What ? " Mr 3 wondered, ceasing to laugh.
" I knew something was wrong. " Assured Brogy. " I knew it from his first sword strike ! His punches were weaker and his attacks were sloppy ! He seemed to be in pain with his every move ! He was in worse shape than usual. "
" You say you knew it ? " Said Mr 3. " If so, explain to me why you fought him ? Did you decide to continue the fight because you knew you were going to be the winner ? Are you finally a coward ? "
" SHUT UP. " Brogy roared, so loud that Mr 3 took a step back. " A little human like you can't understand what is honor ! And even less the stake of a duel between warriors ! How can you understand the reason for my gesture towards Dorry ? Even if my opponent walks towards me while coughing up blood, showing pity for him is an affront ! HOW COULD I SHOW PITY TO SOMEONE WHO DEDICATED ITS LIFE TO FIGHT ? "
Contracting his muscles, he asserted.
" I may not be able to resuscitate Dorry, the fact remains that I can avenge his death. "
At that moment, the assassins and pirates could hear crackles as the wax surrounding Brogy was cracking.
" Im… Impossible ! "
" You will die. " Brogy roared, before making a noise of war.
In an instant, the wax that was on his arms and legs finally burst into pieces, as the giant rose to his feet.
" IN… INCREDIBLE. " Gin asserted.
" Go ahead, Brogy-sama. " Yosaku shouted.
" Yes, spray them, baby. " Neni encouraged him.
Clenching his fist, Brogy pointed him straight at Mr. 3. However, a boogie slammed into his face, causing him to back away.
" NOSE FANCY DOUBLE CANNON! " Shouted Mr 5, sending two more boogers.
Dropping to his knees, Brogy winced in pain.
" You little … !"
" KILO PRESS ! "
Hit his skull, Miss Valentine crushed it under her weight and knocked it to the ground. With his head on the ground again, Brogy cried out in pain, as the duo's powers had defeated him in seconds.
" What an irritating monster. " Mr 5 said.
" BROGY-SAN ! "
" And so, these guys sabotaged the fight of the giants and then kidnapped your friend. " Understood Bruno.
" Yes. " Menma confessed, sobbing.
Looking at her, Bruno saw her clench her fists, while asserting.
" It's because I was scared ! They captured him because I was afraid of dying ! Vivi onee-san… I couldn't protect her. "
At that moment, as Mr 5 had done, Bruno put his hand on her head.
" Huh? " Menma said raising her face.
" You did your best. " Bruno affirmed, while smiling at her.
However, getting to his feet, Bruno wiped his smile away, while looking in the direction of a huge wax sculpture that could be seen from where he was standing.
" The bastards … They dared to laugh at the determination of these giants ? Unforgivable. "
Turning around then, he walked over to Johnny. Putting his hand on the site of his abdomen, Bruno pressed his thumb in several places. At that moment, coughing, Johnny regained consciousness while breathing heavily.
Standing up, Bruno turned to Usopp. Grabbing himself from the top of his T-shirt, he used his physical strength to pull the man out of the ground. Then putting him down delicately, he finally turns to Luffy.
Still stuck, the man had his body burned from Mr 5.'s attacks. Kneeling to examine him more closely, Bruno closed his eyes, thinking that Luffy was dead, crushed under thousands of tons of rocks. .
" I don't know who got you stuck there ! But know that I will avenge you, Luffy-san. "
However, a hand gripped his clothes. Opening his eyes, Bruno couldn't hide his surprise, seeing Luffy's arm move.
" But how … ? You are alive ? "
" Giants … ! " Whispered Luffy. " I must avenge them. "
Lifting his face, Luffy asserted.
'' My friends… Brogy… Dorry… these guys won't kill any of them ! I'm going to kick their butt. "
Astonished, Bruno finally heard moans behind him. Fighting the pain, Usopp, Johnny and Carue cried out in pain as they stood up.
" Are you ready guys? " Luffy asked them.
" Yeah. " Usopp assured.
" That's when you want. " Johnny cried.
" QUA. " Cried Carue.
Smiling immediately, Luffy asserted.
" We will give them a beating. "
Not knowing what to say, Bruno watched him struggle again to free himself. Finally, smiling then, the man put his hand on the rock. Immediately, Luffy was surprised to hear the sound of a zipper. Then, feeling able to get up, Luffy managed to get to his feet.
Turning around then, he saw a huge zipper that separated part of the rock in two.
" How ? " Menma wondered.
" A devil fruit. " Johnny understood.
" No. " Johnny retorted, knowing what he was referring to. " Brogy believed that too... but my powers are innate. "
" What ? "
" Let's put that aside ! Luffy-san… "
Stretching out his hand, Bruno finally asks him.
'' Would you let me help you sort out the trash ? "
Staring at Bruno, Luffy didn't hesitate to smile at him and finally squeezed his hand.
" Let's go. "
" DORU DORU ARTS TEKASE. "
Immediately, Mr 3's arms turned to wax. Immediately a thick layer of wax covered Brogy's arms and legs.
" As if it was going to bother me. " Roared the giant, pretending to struggle.
" It's not over. " Mr 3 retorted, creating piles of wax.
Suspended in the air, the wax creations eventually fell towards Brogy's limbs and pierced his feet and hands. Hearing the giant cry out in pain, most of the pirates looked away, while Brogy was now unable to get to his feet.
" I admit having underestimated the power of a giant ! However, now I'm sure you won't be able to move. "
Then, reaching for his huge wax sculpture, he cried out.
" And soon each of you will become splendid wax statues ! I can't wait to have your faces covered in wax showing only your desperation and agony ! Come on, do me a favor, die with as much fear as possible ! This is the only way my art can fully express itself. "
" This is out of the question. " Nami roared, trying to struggle. " I'm not going to let myself die like this ! We must react."
Remaining very calm, Zoro was thinking of a plan to escape. Finally, thinking of something, the man finally asks.
" Raynare… Gin… "
" Hum? " His two friends made.
" Your legs, are they essential to you ? "
" Hum ? "
" And you, the giant? " Zoro asked him. " Can you fight without your fists and your feet ? "
" What are you talking about ? " Brogy asked him.
" I ask you if any of you have enough guts to follow me to kill these guys. "
" What ? " Yosaku wondered. " Aniki ? "
" Zoro, what are you talking about ? " Nami asked him.
Smiling then, Zoro took out two of his sabers, while asserting.
" We don't really have a choice. "
" What are you talking about ? " Neni asked him. " You will never be able to reach them at this distance. "
" Idiot ! " Gin insulted him, grabbing his tonfas. " We're going to attack them melee. "
" But how ?" Vivi asked them.
Suddenly, understanding what Zoro wanted to do, Nami swallowed.
" You ... You want to cut your legs ? "
" Rather than die. " Raynare announced. " On the other hand, there is no way to cut my arms too ! I would manage to remove the wax covering them ! Cut just my legs. "
" Are you crazy or what ? " Screamed Neni. " Say you get rid of yourself like this, what do you do next ? You won't stand a chance with such a handicap. "
" We won't know until we try. " Zoro retorted. " So who's up for it ? "
" I am going to massacre them. " Gin announced, licking his lips.
" And me pierce them. " Raynare assured, with a cold look.
" Perfect. " Zoro said, with a carnivorous smile. " There is no reason to die so easily from these rots. "
" What is he talking about ? " Wanted to know Mr 5. " Is he crazy or what? "
" It's a bluff. " Assured Mr 3. " Impossible for him to do it. "
Suddenly, a laugh was heard. Having heard Zoro's words, Brogy finally asserts.
" You are a kid deserving to become a giant, you know ? To be honest, I admit I lost hope for a second ! However … "
Roaring, he cried.
" No question of dying without killing these guys first ! Cut off any part of my body, I don't care ! However, make sure I crush them. "
" Perfect ! " Zoro asserted, pointing his sabers at his legs. "We have four enemies and four of us want to fight them ! The count is correct. "
"Stop it. " Nami begged him. " You can't do anything without your legs. "
" And after ? " Zoro retorted. " By staying here, we will die ! But, by fighting, even without our legs, we will have a chance to win. "
Seeing his sure gaze, Mr 3 couldn't help but take a step back, thinking.
"This guy is completely nuts. "
However, what surprised everyone was when Vivi cried out.
" Mr Bushido ! I want to fight too. "
" Vivi ? "
" OK, here we go. " Zoro announced, raising his blades before lowering them towards his legs.
" Stop him. " Ordered Mr 3.
However, before anyone could do anything, several trees suddenly fell to the ground, while someone seemed to be having fun uprooting them. Finally, entering the clearing, four figures could be seen.
" AHHHHHHHHHH ! "
Running so fast, the silhouettes overtook Mr 3 and his minions. Yet the man could clearly hear Luffy's voice screaming at him.
" I am going to kill you. "
Then seeing the silhouettes crash against a tree, Mr 3 turned around, looking surprised.
" But that … ? "
" Here we are. " Luffy asserted, getting up. " Ready guys ? "
" Yeah. " Usopp and Johnny assured us.
" QUA. " Cried Carue.
" Luffy ! "
" Usopp ! Johnny ! "
" Carue ! "
" Who are you ? " Wanted to know Mr 3.
Then, looking at Luffy's face, he cried out.
" Oh yes, you are the captain of this little band of pirates ! Nice to meet you, Monkey D. Luffy! But know that I am a little disappointed! For a man with a head of 30 million berries, I saw you more impressive. "
" Hey, your haircut sucks. " Luffy suddenly cried, pointing his 3.
" What did you say ? " Roared Mr 3.
" Luffy, hurry and rescue us. " Cried Nami. " Kill these guys and deliver us. "
" No problem . " Luffy assured, cracking his fingers. " I'll make them pay for what they did to the giants. "
" Giants? " Giggles Mr 5. " Why do you want to avenge these two morons ? "
'' So, it was you four who had interrupted their fight ? "
Turning around, the quartet saw no one behind them.
" Who ... Who spoke ? "
At that moment, a zipper could be seen on the floor, opening, allowing Bruno to come out of the floor and introduce himself to the Baroque Works agents.
" Who is he ? "
" Bruno ? " Nami wondered, recognizing him.
" Is he an ally or an enemy? " Wanted to know Gin.
" An ally. " Neni affirmed. " Huh ... I believe . "
" Who are you ? " Wanted to know Mr 3.
" Bruno Bucciarati ! " The man announced.
Then, in an instant, closing his fist, he jumped straight towards Mr 3. Still surprised by his strange arrival, the man could not reply when Bruno's fist crushed his nose. Hovering back, he fell to the ground, his face bleeding.
" That ? " Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were astonished, turning around.
" My nose ! " Shouted Mr 3. " He broke my nose. "
" You little … " Mr 5 began.
However, giving him a glare, Bruno was the first to threaten him.
" There are a lot of things I hate ! Drugs, child abuse, murders for fun ... but also that we laugh at the honor and convictions of warriors. "
" What ? "
" Bruno ? " Brogy exclaimed, recognizing his voice.
" Rest lying down, Brogy-san. " His friend advised him. " I take care of them. "
'' Can someone tell me where is this guy from? " Wanted to know Raynare. " And what was that zipper he created ? Did this guy eat devil fruit ? "
" Fruit of the demon or not, he is on our side. " Zoro remarked, calmly.
However, drawn to something, Nami lowered her gaze before screaming.
" Zoro, your legs. "
" Hum ? " The man wondered, imitating her. " Oh, I couldn't stop in time! So I have them half cut ! Hahahaha! "
" Crazy person. "
" Oi, Luffy. " Cried the fencer. " As soon as you're done with these guys, destroy this pillar. "
" The pillar ? " Luffy repeated, looking it.
" Wax ? " Johnny wondered. " So, one of them is capable of producing large quantities of it. "
" Not serious. "Usopp asserted. " We are going to slaughter them all ! I will show you that I can be a real warrior. "
" Tsss. " Said Miss Valentine, opening her umbrella. " The correction earlier was not enough for you ? "
" I have the impression that we will have to kill them for good. " Includes Mr 5.
Seeing the situation completely changed, Brogy turned his face somewhat to the wax statue and asked Zoro.
" Hey, the fencer ? What do we do ? "
" We pass the baton. " Zoro told him, with a serene look. "Don't worry, Luffy will settle this matter in two seconds. "
" That idiot ? " Neni wondered. " Sorry to tell you, but I would be more confident if it was you who was in his place. "
" Luffy-san is he that powerful ? " Wanted to know Vivi.
" Bands of idiots. " Raynare insulted them. " Be certain of one thing ! I would never be under the orders of someone weaker than me. "
" How can these guys be so relaxed ? " Wanted to know Mr 3, getting up.
Running his hand under his nose to feel blood flow, he groaned in rage.
" This guy is going to pay me. "
Hearing chewing noises then, Mr 3 saw Miss Goldenweek, taking a break while eating cookies and drinking tea.
" What are you doing ? Now is not the time to drink tea. "
" Mr 3. " Cried Mr 5. " Let us settle this matter, I promise to kill every one of these guys. "
" To trust you ? " Repeated Mr 3. " Don't make me laugh ! You are unworthy of Baroque Works ! You told me to get rid of these guys and yet they look healthy to me, for dead ! You are not at the level. "
" What ? " Got angry Mr 5.
" Go take care of the small fry ! Me, I'm going to fight Mugiwara and the guy who dared to hit me in the face ! They will both be part of my collection. "
" As if you scare us. " Usopp roared, as he climbed on the Carue's back. " We are pirates. "
" QUA ! " Carue announced.
However, in an instant, the duo fled into the forest and hid behind a tree.
" Luffy ! Bruno ! We've got you covered. "
However, to his surprise, Usopp saw Johnny who had stayed in his place.
" Johnny ? What are you doing ? Come and take shelter. "
" No. " Johnny retorted, staring at Mr. 5.
Pulling out his sword, he cried.
" I have had enough of behaving like a coward or losing like a crummy. "
Staring at Brogy's body, he asserted.
" Me too, I want to become strong ! And in the end, if I dreamed of having a devil fruit, it was surely because I thought I would acquire superhuman powers without having to train ! However, I can't just rely on that. "
Raising his sword, he cried.
" If I want to have my devil fruit, I must earn it. "
" NOSE FANCY CANNON! "
Exploding, a booger hit Johnny.
" JOHNNY ! " Yosaku frightened, seeing his friend fall backwards.
" Special lousy. " Insulted Mr. 5. " You don't deserve to have devil fruit. "
" Motherfucker ! " Luffy roared, running towards him. " GUM GUM … ! "
" CANDLE LOCK ! "
In an instant, Mr 3 managed to create a jet of wax, which surrounded Luffy's legs before trapping them.
" What … ? "
" I've got you. " Giggles Mr 3.
" You are really boring. " Bruno grumbled, running behind him.
Seeing him arrive, Mr 3 immediately created a wall of wax to protect himself.
" Try to break this wall! It is as strong as… "
Opening his eyes wide, he saw a zipper appear on his wall before it opened.
" But how … ? "
Appearing in the opening, Bruno had already closed his fist to hit Mr 3 again.
" This one is for the giants. "
" KILO PRESS! "
Jumping to the side in time, Bruno dodged Miss Valentine in time, destroying part of the ground.
" Hahaha ! I can't wait to break your bones. "
Managing to get to his feet, Luffy aimed at the young woman.
" GUM GUM PISTOL ! "
" CANDLE WALL! "
Managing to create a new wall, Mr. 3 protected his comrade, while Luffy's fist did not scratch the wall.
" Insignificant. " Assured Mr 3.
Still, fear read across his face, as Bruno's figure was behind him again.
" CANDLE… "
" ZIP! "
In an instant, Mr. 3 widened his gaze and saw Bruno's fist touch his arm with phenomenal speed. Then he saw a zipper pop up there, before his arm was cut in half.
Frozen, Mr 3 saw his member fall to the ground.
" Ho… How? "
Frightened, too, Miss Valentine hurried to fly into the air to take shelter. However, not taking his eyes off her, Bruno asserted.
" You won't go anywhere. "
Directing his hand towards her, he cried out.
" ZIPPER-MAN. "
Immediately, a strange man in armor and a blue helmet appeared in front of Bruno, while a zipper bound them both.
" What is that again ? " Miss Valentine wondered.
" Forward. " Cried Bruno.
Immediately making a magnificent jump, Zipper-man found itself in front of Miss-Valnetine who could only look at it with fear.
" What ? "
" It's over for you. " Bruno announced to her.
However, an explosion struck his creation, causing it to disappear.
" What do you think ? " Mr. 5 questioned him, with a gun in his hand. " We are agents of Baroque Works ! Don't underestimate us. "
However, each of them stopped staring as they heard.
" GUM GUM … "
Using the top of Brogy's helmet, Luffy whirled around it at full speed. Then, using the wax on his feet, he hit the pillar of the Candle Set. In one blow, he pulverized the object, freeing his feet in the process.
" TONSUKI ! "
" Yeah, well done Luffy. " Congratulated Usopp.
However, the other pirates were not reassured when they saw the part of the top of the statue fall towards them.
" Fool ! We're going to get run over. "
Luckily for them, the top of the Candle Set ended up landing on what little was left of the pillar, thus avoiding crashing into the bodies of the pirates.
" Mom ! Yosaku cried. " I feel like I'm having a heart attack. "
" At least we are alive. " Nami rejoices.
However, seeing white particles continue to fall on them, Gin looked up to notice that the top of the Candle Set had started to spin again.
" Is that a joke? "
" Our situation has not changed at all. " Zoro remarked.
" Damn it, Luffy ! Get ready. " Raynare ordered him.
" If you are in danger, why don't you go and take cover? " Luffy asked them.
" Stupid , we can't. " Vivi and Neni roared.
For his part, taking advantage of this diversion, Mr 3 hastened to move away from Bruno, while looking at his severed arm. To his surprise, he felt no pain and no drop of blood could be seen.
" What happened ? What is his power at the end ? "
" Mr 3. " Cried Miss Goldenweek.
Reaching out, she showed the man the hand that had just been cut off.
" I think it's up to you. "
" Baka ! Of course it's mine! Don't present that to me. "
" There is a zipper at the end of the arm. " The child remarked, pointing to the object. " Maybe by putting your hand back in its place and closing it, you can get your arm back together. "
Not wasting a moment, the man hastened to take his hand back and repositioned it on his arm. Then, closing the lock, he prayed to god that it would work.
Finally, a sigh could be heard as he saw the zipper disappear.
" Phew! My arm is saved. "
Landing near him, before being joined by Mr 5, Miss Valentine cried out.
" Mr 3, this man is dangerous ! Maybe even more than Mugiwara ! What should we do for him ? "
" I'm taking care of him. " Assured Mr 3. " No matter how powerful he is, he must have a weak point. "
" GUM GUM BAZOOKA. "
Stretching his hands back, Luffy aimed at the top of the Candle Set, thinking he could destroy it in one fell swoop. Seeing him do, Mr 3 hastened to aim him.
" DORU DORU ARTS MORI. " He cried, creating wax spears.
However, seeing him let his guard down, Usopp seizes this opportunity to shoot him.
" KAYAKU BOSHI. "
Throwing an explosive ball, Usopp aimed at Mr 3 who couldn't move to dodge the projectile.
" What … ? "
However, standing in front of him, Mr 5 opened his mouth and swallowed the marble without hesitation. A sound of explosion was then heard in his stomach without it doing him the slightest damage. For his part, Luffy hurried away, to avoid the wax spears.
" How is it possible ? " Usopp wondered.
" I am a man-bomb. " The man reminded him. " I am therefore immune to explosive attacks. "
" That everyone stop dispersing. " Then ordered Mr 3, casting his gaze in all directions. " These cockroaches keep attacking us in all directions, jeopardizing my plan! We must regain our calm and think. "
Finally, pointing at Bruno, he affirmed.
" You have to get rid of this guy first. "
" I'm taking care of him. " Assured Mr 5. " I don't understand how his power works, but it's no help against me ! I would have him, be sure. "
" In this case, I will take care of this weakling. " Miss Valentine said, turning to Usopp.
" And me from Mugiwara. " Giggles Mr 3.
Hearing this, Bruno watched Mr 5 walk towards him. However, instead of making up his mind to fight him, Bruno suddenly fled.
" What ? " The Baroque Works agent wondered, seeing him disappear into the forest. " Hey, come back ! "
The next second, he ended up surrounded by trees, while Bruno had disappeared from his sight.
" Where is he ? "
" ZIPPER-MAN. "
Standing on a branch, Bruno sent his soldier to attack Mr 5. Nevertheless, feeling his presence in time, the man turned around while taking out a revolver. Firing several times, he hit his opponent with invisible bullets that exploded on contact.
Seeing Zipper-man disappear again, Bruno confessed.
" You have a strange weapon. "
" It's not difficult to understand the mechanism ! All I have to do is blow the barre l! Then, with each shot, explosive '' bullets '' come out! I have explosive breath! On the other hand, I admit that I had more trouble understanding your power. "
" Forget unnecessary discussion ! Whether I tell you or not, you're gonna die, anyway. "
" Grrr! Stop underestimating me. " Roared Mr 5, aiming him with his gun.
Immediately leaving his branch, Bruno quickly changed places and took advantage of the trees to protect himself from the explosions. Firing all his bullets, Mr 5 then ran away, the time to reload his firearm.
'' The forest is not to my advantage ! This is the reason he brought me here. "
Appearing then on a tree trunk, a closure opened and Bruno came out.
" I've got you. "
However, suddenly spitting, Mr 5 managed to touch Bruno's arm with his saliva. Immediately, a new explosion occurs. Taking advantage of the smoke, Mr 5 moved away from Bruno, while ihim fell to the ground. Still getting to his feet, he barely showed any burns on his skin, while he still seemed fit to fight.
" Tsss, a tough one ? Why don't you give up ? "
" Because I know for a fact that I will win. "
" Shut up ! " Roared Mr 5, shooting him again.
Jumping to avoid them, Bruno finally grabbed a branch and gained height. Having a good point of view, from where he was, Bruno could easily see his opponent, who could not join him.
And while he was thinking of a plan, Bruno got scared when he saw someone else.
Having stayed behind, Menma was hiding in the forest watching Luffy's fight against Mr. 3. In fact, she hadn't even noticed that Bruno and Mr. 5 were also in the forest.
" She ? "
Surprised to see him staring at something, Mr 5 turned around and ended, also seeing the child. Immediately, an evil smile spread over his face, as he aimed his gun at the child.
" I did well to spare her, earlier. "
" Menma, GET OUT . " Cried Bruno.
" What ? " Said the child, turning to him.
" Bye. " Said Mr 5, pulling.
Not understanding what was going on, Menma heard a strange hiss coming towards her. Realizing that a danger was coming, but not seeing it, the little girl did not know what to do. As a result, knowing that she could not escape the explosion. Bruno's body positioned itself in front of her.
Then, hitting his back, the projectile exploded, causing the man to scream.
" Bruno ? " Menma wondered, seeing him fall to his knees in front of her.
Not having finished, Mr 5 continued to shoot. Wanting to protect Menma, Bruno continued to take the explosions. Finally, after a few seconds, his charred body collapsed onto Menma's.
Seeing him remain inert, Mr 5 blew on the barrel of his gun, before smiling conceitedly. Then he left.
