I Will Protect You As Cora-San Did For Us

Chapter nine: My nakama's pain is my pain Zoro and miyuki prepared to die part1

The explosion has stopped. Everything was destroyed the others have collapsed all that remains are silence.

Bartholomew: Walk towards luffy and sent the rubble on luffy flying away. When he was about to grab luffy someone stop him.

Zoro: "Shishi sonson!" He jump and slashed at his left shoulder.

Miyuki: "Ittouryuu taiyouken!" Jump and slash his right shoulder.

Both of them breathing heavily. Bartholomew kuma didn't budge. His shirt were slice by the attack.

Zoro: Eyes widen.

Miyuki: Eyes widen. "No way..."

Both of his shoulder are metal. The attack didn't managed to cut deep.

Zoro: "What...are you?!"

Bartholomew: "It's a shame isn't it miyuki. If i haven't got these your attack might have killed me right now."

Miyuki: Glare at him.

Zoro: "So you're a cyborg, just like franky, huh?!" Pant. "No...you're stronger than just steel!"

Bartholomew: He's shooting laser from his mouth.

Miyuki: "Nii-sama dodge it!" Run to the side barely.

Zoro: Run. But the impact from the laser causing miyuki and zoro sent flying to the rock.

Miyuki and zoro are struggling to get up. Both of their body were trembling badly due to their injury.

Zoro: "The steel...melted...!" Pant.

Miyuki: Breathing hard. "That's...not...a normal laser."

Zoro: Managed to stand up for a bit and turned around facing him and then fall to his knees out of exhaustion.

Miyuki: Did the same as zoro and then she hold zoro shoulder to support him.

Both of them look at Bartholomew kuma.

Miyuki: "A hard steel cyborg...a powerful laser..."

Bartholomew: "A cyborg...that is indeed what i am, but...i am quite different from "Cyborg Franky"

Miyuki: Eyes widen. "Don't tell me..."

Bartholomew: "I am what is called a "Pacifista"...part of a yet-to-be-completed project of the world government... A human weapon."

Zoro: "A pacifista...?"

Miyuki: "So that means it was doctor vegapunk who turned you into a cyborg!"

Bartholomew: "Yes you are correct. I was created by the government's genius scientist... Doctor vegapunk...the man with the greatest intellect on the planet. It is said that his scientific knowledge has already...reached the level humanity is likely to reach in five hundred year's time."

Zoro: "A body like that...what's more, he's an ability-user!" Panting. "It's like there's just no chance of beating him...!" Tried to move his body. "Just as i thought...my body won't even obey me anymore...!"

Miyuki: "Nii-sama..." Look at him worriedly.

Zoro: "I know you place a barrier for everyone else. I saw it on my own body but i don't see it on you." Look at her.

Miyuki: "You...don't have to worry...about that..." Look away.

Zoro: "How could i not...you could die..." Angry.

Miyuki: "I'm already prepared for the worst a long time ago..."

Zoro: "Miyuki..." Look at Bartholomew. "No matter what...you're still going to take luffy's and miyuki's head, aren't you?"
