Chapter 725 Sengoku’s Wisdom. The Weird Bartholomew Kuma.
_________________
On Sphinx Island.
The loud laughter of the Whitebeard Pirates and their affiliated crews can be heard echoing throughout the vast art store at this moment.
“Gurararara!!”
“I never expected to see such an entertaining scene in my life, someone challenging me inside a manga book~ this is wonderful.”
“Haha! My impression of Luffy is halfway decent~ you just don’t know how amazing he is -yui.”
Marco commented with a soft laugh.Follow newest stories at novelhall.com
“That’s right, no one knows Luffy better than us readers~”
Jozu added proudly.
“Since Luffy has reached the war, it means that Oars’ sacrifice won’t go in vain… I’m sure Luffy will definitely save his brother.”
Little Oars Jr felt relieved, as he was very confident in Luffy.
“That’s true, I also believe that Luffy will achieve the impossible in this war.”
Hearing that, Whitebeard felt a glimmer of hope. He didn’t care much about the life or death of his counterpart in the manga after all he had lived a lot, but the life or death of Ace meant a lot to him.
“Sengoku, you scoundrel, Kizaru, you wretch, just come, let me see how you’ll execute any ally of mine in front of me…”

Chapter’s Events:
—————————
“Old man!! We intercepted a message to the marine troops indicating that Ace’s execution time is to be moved forward!!”
Marco arrived beside Whitebeard and delivered an important update, which Whitebeard had just heard from Luffy.
“Yes, so I hear…”
“But let us stay calm. Our intercepting this information and acting in haste is doubtless part of their plan.”
“Accidentally allowing a key strategy to be overheard by the enemy… is not a mistake that man would ever make!!”
Sengoku cleverly admitted by Whitebeard.
…
Kizaru unleashed a laser attack using his leg on Luffy, who had just entered the battlefield.
“If we don’t capture you, the Tenryuubito will never let us hear the end of it, you know… Strawhat Luffy…”
“I-It’s admiral Kizaru!!! Strawhat Luffy is done for!!”
The sight of Admiral Kizaru personally pursuing Luffy struck terror into the escaped prisoners.
“Death Wink!!”
At that moment, Ivankov intervened, pulling Luffy away from the explosion.
“Hmmm~”
Kizaru was annoyed to see Luffy survive the explosion.
“It seems like your counterpart is suffering from the Tenryuubito’s side, Borsalino-san; they seem to want Straw Hat’s head as soon as possible,”
Kuzan pointed out this fact as if rubbing salt on the wound.
“Naturally, the celestial dragons in the manga still maintain their despicable nature, unlike the current celestial dragons who have been completely brainwashed because of the manga; of course, they will want to skin Luffy alive.”
Sakazuki added sarcastically.
In this reality, it wasn’t just the pirates that Sakazuki hated so much; a new hatred was born towards the celestial dragons, and the reason was One Piece manga.
…
Back in the Sorbet Kingdom, inside the art store, Kuma drew attention due to Luffy’s description of him as ‘the man who looks like a bear,’
And also because Ivankov considered him a friend, confirming the fact that Kuma was part of the Revolutionary Army, or at least he was before the war.
“…It seems that my counterpart has turned into a piece of iron without any conscience… sigh~”
Kuma felt sadness for his counterpart.
Since starting to read the new volume, almost half of his focus was on Bartholomew Kuma’s condition, the Shichibukai, and the other half of his focus was divided among the rest of the events and numerous characters in this war.
So, he would definitely notice the peculiarity of Kuma, who was not the same as last time in the Sabaody Archipelago Arc; at that time, he still had some semblance of consciousness, but this time for some reason, he seemed to have completely lost it and became like the other Pacifistas.
“I think he’s just another Pacifista and not the real Kuma…”
Ivankov, who had felt proud before after seeing his counterpart save Luffy from Kizaru, spoke, but this feeling turned around after seeing Kuma attack his counterpart, who finally admitted that Kuma should be his friend.
“I know it’s hard to accept, but he’s the real Kuma and not just a Pacifista.”
This time, Dragon commented with a sad tone.
