One Piece Law Light Novel

Chapter 31: Chapter 4



With his powerful kick, Conny Boackenno threw Penguin, Shachi and Bepo into a corner of the room.

- You guys have nothing ?! Penguin asks in a loud voice.

- No, it's okay!

- No problem!

Shachi and Bepo immediately emit a lively response. None of the three friends seem seriously hurt. This does not mean that their opponent is weak, on the contrary.

It was enough for him to push himself on them to throw them to the other end of the room. His build is impressive. Not only does it lightly exceed two meters, but also weighs, visibly, no less than three hundred kilograms. Dressed in a mawashi and wearing a bun specific to the profession, his membership in the world of sumo is beyond doubt. With his superhuman strength, Boackenno is a worthy representative of this famous struggle.

But the most astonishing about him is this rapidity which his appearance does not allow to predict. Despite a physique to say the least fleshy, even pot-bellied, Boackenno moves at such speed that none of the three have had time to dodge his attack.

- This guy's not just a big guy.

- No, in addition to being heavy, he is fast.

- He did not hesitate for a single second to take all three of us as adversaries. I think he has blind faith in his strength.

Each of them seems to have sensed the terrifying dimension of sumo rightly.

- Bu hyo hyo! I have been wonderfully successful in separating you from each other. My task of eliminating you will only be easier!

No sooner has he finished his sentence than Boackenno leans forward and stands firmly on his two legs.

- He is coming!

- Hakki Yoi!

He is rushing again on the three friends, exactly as before. Let's say it as it is: he is in fact content to give them a big blow of the stomach.

No refined technique or exceptional power here, only pure strength counts. On the other hand, Boackenno's worked musculature transforms this bodily assault into a true fatal technique.

- There are three of us to keep him!

Nobody flinches, all comply with Penguin's order and find themselves facing their opponent, ready to stop him in the Hakki Yoi position. No more carelessness: this time, they are all ready to receive his attack. But nothing helps, impossible to stop it. No matter how much they join forces, they can't compete with Boackenno's muscles.

- Gaaah!

Once again, they are thrown violently against the wall behind them.

- Bu hyo hyo! What a great bunch of incapabilities you have!

- Bepo! Shachi! We don't have to go all at once! Let's attack him by dispersing!

- Understood!

Before the next assault, they separate in different directions and position themselves in a circle around Boackenno. They did not exchange in a concrete way on the strategy to put in place. But in the three years they've spent together, Wolf and Law have instilled in them the fundamentals of the art of combat. How to deal with several to defeat an adversary, what it is to be "effective" in combat, or how to bring a duel to its advantage. At their side, they learned this kind of essential tactics.

To begin with, Bepo approaches the target and uses his kicking techniques. Then, Penguin grabs his spear and sends it at the enemy from a blind spot. Finally, Shachi delivers the final blow with his hatchet. None of them needed to exchange a single word to know that this combination would be the most effective.

- No matter how hard you rack your brains, you will need more to come to the end of me. Besides, I wonder which of you will I liquidate first ...

- Tcha tcha! I'm your man! Come fight, fat bacon!

Boackenno stops dead.

- Oh, the polar bear ... I'm not dreaming, did you just call me a "fat bacon"? This is the worst insult you can address to a sumo wrestler! I'll catch you and turn you into a meatball! Raaah!

Becoming literally red with anger, Boackenno rushes towards Bepo.

- Yatcha!

Bepo flanks without hesitation a kick returns in the stomach of his opponent. An irreproachable attack both in terms of strength and speed. However, Boackenno doesn't show the slightest sign of pain. The power of Bepo's strike has been entirely absorbed by the wrestler's layer of fat ... Unrestrained, Boackenno continues his course straight on him.

- Take that bear cub ... Doskoi!

With these words, he brings his two hands, palms wide open, down on Bepo's skull.

- Waaah ...

The polar bear immediately suffered a slight concussion. Penguin and Shachi immediately understand that their tactic has gone down the drain, but it is too late to end their offensive. Boackenno privote to himself in a series of alert movements before heading towards the two friends, hands still open.

- Doskoi! Doskoi! Doskoi!

The blows are raining in all directions, like a raging storm. They obviously hit Penguin and Shachi who are thrown into the distance, but also hit the huge marble pillars dotting the room. A few collapse, then, as if the whole temple had been hit, part of the ceiling collapses.

Luckily, no one is under the rubble, but Penguin and Shachi shudder in fear at Boackenno's Herculean strength. Penguin exclaims:

- Shachi, are you okay?

- Yes, I'm still alive ...

However, the violent slaps they have just received did not leave them unscathed and they are struggling to move satisfactorily.

- Phew, I think we're in deep trouble. If Bepo's kicking techniques don't have any effect on him, one of us will have to do it.

- I want to, but how to stop him in his tracks? I doubt we will be able to slice the bacon with a single blow of a spear or a hatchet.

- Especially that the next load that we wipe, we are sure to leave this temple feet in front.

- Yes, but hey ... We are not going to give up so close to the goal!

- Of course not. If we ever lost this fight, we would never be able to look the old man and Law in the face again!

Slowly, half staggering, they both get up.

- Bu hyo hyo! What a pity you are, exclaims Boackenno. You got bogged down by Wolf, and look at the result! You will die in excruciating pain! Bu hyo hyo! A miserable old man and a bunch of pathetic kids! I can't help but giggle!

Hands on his stomach, Boackenno laughed out loud. For their part, eyes frozen, Penguin and Shachi observe this spectacle.

-... from Wolf ...

- Hmm? What did you just say?

- I forbid you to make fun of Wolf! He raised us when we no longer had parents ... He took care of us as if we were his own children ... So I forbid you to fuck with him!

- Drank! Drank! Drank! On top of that you have no parents! Aah hyo hyo! You are even funnier! Ha ha, so funny! "His own children"? How can you be so stupid?! Wolf never cared about you, he just needed hardworking manpower, thank you! In the end, no one will ever love you !!

Penguin and Shachi remain silent but don't seem upset. No matter what Boackenno says, they know that all they have felt over these years is the strict truth. Wolf really loved them, and it will take more than the bacon's slurs to shatter this truth.

For the moment, only pure and boundless hatred feeds their resentment. Anger whose prey is none other than this pirate who spits his meptis on Wolf, hurts their comrade and does not hesitate to take the lives of the inhabitants to satisfy his desires.

- Shachi ...

- Mh?

- This guy made me mad.

- Yeah, same.

- No matter what it costs us, we're gonna blow it up.
