Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Bear Vs Trio!
The three of us just patiently stood still as the large hairy man observed the ship, his expression going from angry to shock to rage again before his eyes finally focused on us.
"You three, are you the bastards who killed my men!?" Bellowed the large-hair man as he angrily squeezed his fists while eyeing Scar, Trenza, and Grand.
"Yes, we killed your crew, and you'll be next." Replied Scar as he clutched his dagger while looking at the anger-filled man.
After that statement, I didn't waste any time and dashed right for him; once I neared him, he swung his large arm toward me, and I knew getting hit with that would be pretty disastrous. I've fought against Grand several times in the past, and one thing I've learned is not to take any of his punches head-on; otherwise, I'll be quickly out of commission.
Ducking underneath the man's arm, I stabbed my dagger deep into his thigh, but even so, the man hardly responded other than grunting; it seemed not to affect him. Seeing him swing his arm at me again, I retracted my dagger, or at least I tried to retract my dagger, but it would hardly budge, and because of that, his large arm was about to hit my back, though I wasn't to worried, I had two other teammates to assist me.
"Pay attention, big man, it's not just 1 vs. 1." Remarked Trenza as she fired her pistols at the man with incredible speed; other than bruising his body, it hardly did anything, though it did distract him long enough to allow Scar to retreat after retrieving his weapon.
"Ugh, stop shooting me, Bitch!" Yelled the hairy man as he covered his eyes with his arm while charging toward Trenza; despite his appearance, he didn't seem stupid, even if that wasn't the smartest thing to do.
"Over my dead body, will I allow you to touch my, Sister!" Bellowed Grand with a smile as he collided right into the large hairy man, stopping him dead in his tracks; in fact, he was even slightly pushing him back.
"Aww, I feel so special now." Said Trenza with a smirk as she circled the two mini-giants while firing at the Captain of the Bear Pirates.
With Grand keeping the man busy while Trenza peppered him, I silently neared the two before jumping atop his back and stabbing him in a place with a lot less muscle, lest my dagger gets stuck again. I thrust my dagger right into his side, directly between his ribs, puncturing even deeper into his body, hopefully hitting one of his lungs.
"Ugh, F-Fucker!" Yelled the large hairy man as he looked down and eyed Scar along with a deeply embedded into his side, filling him with pain.
"Your fights' up here!" Stated Grand as he used the chance Scar gave him to powerfully punch the man in his face, sending him crashing back into the captain's quarters.
With the brief respite Grand granted us, I picked up my dagger from the ground that I managed to yank out of the man's body just in time and checked it for any damages just in case; I was required to use a great deal of strength to pierce his body, so while unlikely, it's possible my weapon might've been damaged.
"This is a little too easy; maybe I should sit out?" Asked Trenza with a smirk as she approached the Scar and Grand.
"How about you both sit out? I'm confident in taking this man all by myself!" Declared Grand with an eager grin as he eyed the destroyed entrance to the captain's quarters.
"Sure, go ahead, Trenza; I saw how much damage your bullets were doing; whether you participate in this battle or not will hardly change anything." Replied Scar lightly as he glanced at Trenza, who gave him an annoyed look.
"Tch, I've been much mo-" Said Trenza while eying Scar, though she couldn't finish speaking as they heard movement from the captain's quarters.
Hearing the sound of wood breaking, we all looked toward the captain's quarters, and a few moments later, a thunderous roar was heard; not the roar of a man, no, it was the roar of a beast. Immediately following the roar, a dense clump of air emerged from the captain's quarters as it speedily headed straight for Trenza, catching us all by surprise, and while I was the first to react, it was too late by then.
The instant the dense clump of air hit Trenza, she got sent flying, only stopping once her body crashed into part of the ship behind us.
"Trenza!" Yelled Scar and Grand worriedly as they ran toward her, Scar reaching her first.
"Trenza, you good?" Asked Scar in concern; he forcefully but carefully pulled Trenza out of the wall she was embedded into.
"Ugh, f-fuck; yeah, I-I'm good. That won't be enough to kill me, but I'm pretty sure I've broken something." Replied Trenza as she stood on her two feet with assistance from both Scar and Grand while she wiped the blood off her mouth.
Sighing in relief, I was about to take her back to our ship, but before I could, we once again heard wood breaking along with abnormally aggressive movement, causing us to look back at the captain's quarters, only to see a large brown bear emerge from the room and approach us.
"For killing my men, I'll feast upon your bodies before returning to hibernation." Said the bear in a deep, beastly voice as it looked at the three.
"Is that the person we were just fighting?" Asked Grand with a frown as he sized up his new opponent.
"Yeah, looks like he can transform into a bear; he must've eaten a Devil Fruit." Said Trenza with a serious expression as she shot toward the bear, though it did not affect the man-beast
"God dammit; If I can't even distract him, I'm useless; given my state, I'm more of a liability." Added Trenza with an ugly expression.
"He's still got weak points, like his eyes, mouth, nose, crotch, and anus, so you're not useless; you'll just have to be selective with your shots." Stated Scar as he released his hold on Trenza and slowly approached the bear alongside Grand.
"Be careful, Grand, neither of us knows much about how Devil Fruits work; turning into a Bear might not be his only ability." Advise Scar while carefully eyeing the Bear, who suddenly roared before charging right at them.
I didn't know precisely how a devil fruit worked, but by using my basic logic, I figured the man, or now bear before us, should've gotten much more powerful; I didn't know much about bears either, but I knew they had loose skin, causing latching onto them not to be a good move.
"Come here, you bastard!" Yelled Grand as he fearlessly charged directly toward the incoming bear, which was now twice his size.
I was confident in Grand's ability to overwhelm most opponents with his pure strength, but seeing how the man wasn't much weaker than Grand before he transformed, I had a feeling he would be on the losing end, so I jumped to the side, getting out of the way of bears charge.
"F-Fuck, y-you're strong!" Said Grand as he collided with the giant bear, though while he could stand his ground, he was constantly getting pushed back.
Dashing toward the bear, I sliced at his joints, one of the more vulnerable spots, and given that I used a dagger, I wouldn't be able to injure him in just a few quick attacks, especially not against such a large opponent. Still, although I had put my all into that attack and managed to draw blood, the man didn't even seem phased as he continued pushing Grand back.
'This is going to be difficult.' Thought Scar as he kicked the bear's leg just as he was about to put it down, shifting him off balance for a short instance, which Grand took advantage of by connecting a devastating punch to the bear's face.
"That's all you got!? Let me show you how to really punch someone!" Stated the bear as he spat out a tooth and stood on his hind legs, towering over the large Grand, though before he could do anything, a gunshot was heard, followed by him widening his eyes and releasing a massive roar of pain.
'I-I know I advised her to aim for his weak spots, but watching it caused a shiver to run through my spine.' Thought Scar as he audibly gulped while looking at the bear's family jewels.
"Heh, that's what you get, you bastard!" Said Trenza with a smirk, though to Scar and Grand, it looked rather sadistic.
"I-I'll KILL YOU!" Stated the bear as he ignored both Grand and Scar and charged directly for Trenza, whose expression froze.
"S-Sorry?" Said Trenza lightly as she continued shooting at him even though her shots hardly did any damage, well, except for one, when she happened to hit the exact spot where Scar had just attacked.
Seeing the bear's leg slightly buckle after getting shot in the joint by Trenza, my eyes widened as I suddenly had a revelation on how to beat this man; since up until now, while we could damage him, it didn't seem to phase him.
"Grand, keep him busy and away from Trenza! I've got a plan!" Yelled Scar as he eyed the bear charging right for him, or more like Trenza, who had run right past him.
"Got it!" Replied Grand with a nod as he rammed right into the bear shoulder first, toppling the giant beast.
