Chapter 32: Chapter 5
- I agree, let's go!
Without needing to give each other any signal, Shachi and Penguin leap towards Boackenno. They must at all costs reduce the distance which separates them from their adversary. Put their guns in his mouth before he has time to flank them each again a nice pie.
- Woooh!
Penguin brandishes his spear, spins it around at full speed, and plants it vigorously in Boackenno's shoulder.
- Raaah!
Immediately, Shachi leaps into the air and throws his hatchet into the wrestler's right arm.
This time, they felt resistance. But Boackenno does not stop moving forward. The pirate's flesh-and-fat barrier slows down the two friends, who do not cause him fatal injury.
- Damn kids ... By damaging my dream physique in this way, you have just committed a very serious fault!
Penguin and Shachi try to pull away, but Boackenno doesn't let them slip and grabs them firmly.
- You deserve a good correction ... Yokozuna bomber!
The leggy mace leaped high in the air, holding Shachi and Penguin's necks in each of its hands. Approaching the ceiling, he lets himself fall back with all his weight, ready to crush Law's companions. Crushed under more than three hundred kilos of flesh and muscles, they are incapable of the slightest gesture.
- Pff ... This is the real strength of a sumo! Now I suggest you die quietly. You can only blame your own weakness, as well as the old goat who led you in this galley ...
Their skeleton is broken in several places. The violence of the shock against the ground put their heads upside down. Despite this, Penguin and Shachi manage to get to their feet.
- Gnuuh ?!
However, Boackenno no longer counts the devious enemies he buried thanks to the Yokozuna bomber, his most powerful technique. Nevertheless, there, just under his eyes, two scoundrels get up after having cashed in full force.
Sumo finds this strange. They react like zombies. His punches, slaps, and lethal technique should have inflicted enough damage on them to kill them. But no, they are still very much alive. For the very first time, the wrestler feels a kind of fear towards Penguin and Shachi. At the same moment, his gaze is fixed on Bepo's silhouette.
- Pooh …
Boackenno lets out a rude laugh.
- Ready to go back Shachi?
- Obviously! You can count on me to crack the skull of this junk ... Hey, but look at Bepo, what is he doing?
Penguin stares at his friend, sitting on the floor, looking absent and staring up at the ceiling.
- Damn, this is really not the time to meditate! Sumo will catch him!
Boackenno already has Bepo in his sights. Given his position, he will never be able to avoid a Hakki Yoi followed by a slap capable of shattering a rock.
"If I can manage to touch this helpless polar bear, I'll take his life for sure."
As he thinks about how to do it, Boackenno leans slightly forward. At the same moment, a strange shiver runs through his body.
- What ... What is it?
The warrior's intuition then hinders his movements and prevents him from moving forward. Through a hole that formed in the ceiling. Bepo seems to be watching the sky. It is difficult to say whether he is conscious or not, but he is ready for any attack.
In the depths of the dark night the moon shines. A full moon which draws a splendid circle.
- Bepo, get away from there!
- Boackenno won't seem to reach him.
Under the spell of the full moon, Bepo keeps his eyes wide open towards the sky.
- Pooh ... The threat that I thought I felt was only the fruit of my imagination! I will send you to the Hereafter without further delay! Hakki Yoi!
This time it's the right one. Boackenno's gigantic body rushes towards Bepo.
- Bepooo!
As Shachi and Penguin scream in vain, the Colossus crushes Bepo. At least that's what should have happened.
- What ... what? exclaims the wrestler.
Because the reality is quite different.
Boackenno's Hakki Yoi was stopped by Bepo's only right hand waving forward.
- Yatchaaah! exclaims the polar bear.
His voice is no longer exactly the same.
It is rougher, more brutal. With a thud, Bepo begins to change his appearance. He grows up. Its size exceeds that of begins to change its appearance. He grows up. His height exceeds that of Boackenno and he quickly reaches three meters. Finally, its white coat grows in turn, until it completely covers its body. All in an almost divine momentum. Neither Shachi nor Penguin, let alone Boackenno, understand what is going on in front of their eyes.
Bepo has just changed into "selenite lion", better known as "sulong". When they watch the full moon, members of the Mink Tribe access their forgotten memories and effect a warlike transformation.
- Penguin, what's wrong with him?
- No idea, I just see that it has become gigantic! We will have to bet everything on him! Bepo, crush that damn sumo wrestler!
It is difficult to say if Bepo understands the words addressed to him, but he casts a hostile look on Boackenno, thus seeming to respond favorably to the call of his comrades.
- Wooaaah!
He swirls his arms, ready to correct his opponent as he should.
- Gnuuuh ...
Boackenno warded off the bear's heavy assaults as best he could with a desperate air. But the heaviness of the attacks that rain is no longer comparable. Even he who can however boast of being as solid as a rox, would risk falling in the apples if ever he were to take a blow in the face.
His past experience of combat revives as much as possible the awareness of the looming danger.
- Doskoi!
Boackenno stretches out both arms and steps forward in front of Bepo.
- Woooh!
- Doskoi! Doskoi! Doskoi! Doskoi!
An exchange of strikes of rare violence then begins and gives the impression, seen from the outside, that the two fighters are of identical size. A blow sufficient to lengthen definitively their adversary, one like the other does not grant each other any respite. In speed as in power, they are almost equal. The duel continues, each attack of one being parried by that of the other.
Except that, between Bepo who got carried away and acted without thinking, and Boackenno who, despite his surprise, makes a clear judgment on the situation, the difference widens.
- Now!
Bepo hits a big blow in the wind. Boackenno seizes the opportunity and steps into the bear's lap to grip its hips firmly, as sumo wrestlers do with their opponent's mawashi.
- Woooh ...
- You are amoiii!
Boackenno rises in the air with Bepo in his arms.
- Yokozuna bomber!
The sumo wrestler intends to immobilize his opponent in the air by locking his joints, then to make him fall and fall back on him. At this moment of the fight, Boackenno acquires the intimate conviction that the victory belongs to him. What would be strange if it ended up like this?
Only, the wrestler omitted one point: the primary instinct of the warriors of the tribe of the minks.
Bepo is not endowed with "reason". Complex thoughts do not occupy his mind. He simply feels threatened as he senses the future impact against the ground.
But that is enough for him. His instinct as a warrior makes him act in the most efficient way possible.
- Waaah!
