One Piece My Partner is Too Crooked - Chapter 21
“Ah, ah, the quality of this gun is really good, and the sound is so loud; it must be from a famous master’s hand.”
“I even want to get one myself. Can you introduce it to me, Icey?”
After a few seconds of silence, Aqua smiled, quickly hiding the loaded gun behind her while quietly flicking away the spring that had jumped onto her hair.
“Introduce? I’ll introduce you to your mother!!” Icey, who had always been elegant, finally broke out.
The big black bear naturally couldn’t be fooled by this clumsy act. Realizing that something threatening its life was broken, it completely unleashed its wildness, roaring fiercely.
In any case, these two arrogant and shameless humans today must die!
Roar!!!
With its fangs exposed, the big black bear burst out with power, charging towards Icey, who was closer.
At this critical moment of losing reliance, Icey couldn’t remain as calm and composed as before.
He stood firm, raising his arms to block the bear’s paw coming down.
“This strength, indeed heavy!”
The tremendous strength of the beast instantly transmitted through his arms to his whole body. Icey gritted his teeth and chose to resist.
Fortunately, he had been persistently training for a year, coupled with strengthening the defensive power from the wishing pool; his body’s strength had also improved, avoiding being crushed in the moment of strength confrontation.
Of course, judging by the current trend of his body sinking little by little, failure was only a matter of time.
“Aqua, this guy can’t do anything to me, you go first, go back to the village and call for support!”
While fully resisting the bear’s claws, Icey instructed Aqua.
“Icey, you…”
Aqua couldn’t help but be moved by the scene before her.
Since being summoned to this world, her impression of Icey had always been cunning with a hint of hidden perversion, always calm and composed in everything he did.
Unexpectedly, this guy looked somewhat like a man at this critical moment!
A gentle smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Aqua’s mouth — if she wasn’t covered in mud now.
“Rest assured, I will never let you down, willing to bet my life and create opportunities for you!”
With a determined gaze, Aqua dropped the useless gun in her hand and decisively turned to run.
And then the next moment, she let Icey down, stopping in embarrassment.
She didn’t know the way back to Windmill Village…
But precisely because of this, with Icey’s mention of “support” echoing in her mind, Aqua remembered crucial information.
As an outstanding and versatile goddess of water, she actually had auxiliary skills to enhance her physique!
“Oh dear, I’ve been releasing holy water magic against the bandit stronghold all along, almost forgetting the thing this goddess is best at.”
Turning around to face Icey and the big black bear, Aqua raised her hand to her forehead, striking a very handsome (in her own opinion) pose.
“Who do you think is helping you show off, carrying the burden forward, you worthless goddess!”
The tremendous strength from the bear pressed Icey’s arms, causing them to tremble continuously. “I can’t hold on much longer, hurry up and bring out something good!”
If he could free himself now, he would rush over and smash this idiot’s head!
Perhaps because other aspects (intelligence) of Aqua were too outstanding, after spending some time together, he didn’t expect her to have reinforcement skills.
“Hmph, since you’re so sincerely requesting support, then this goddess will meet your needs.”
“But after that, remember to join the Akucis Church and become the most devout follower of Lady Aqua!”
Aqua raised her hand to summon the goddess staff, channelling the remaining energy in her body to the limit.
Buzz!
The splendid light burst into pure energy at the tip of the staff.
“Blessing! Attribute enhancement!”
Accompanied by Aqua’s earnest shout, the icy blue light intertwined and coiled under Icey’s feet, constructing a dazzling magic array.
Immediately after, Icey felt his body gradually filled with rapidly expanding strength.
Whether it was speed, strength, defence, perception, or spirit, all had been amplified to varying degrees!
“Finally, it’s somewhat useful, my partner.” Icey’s mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a somewhat domineering smile.
Looking again at the big black bear just a step away, his gaze was no longer confused and weak but full of confidence.
In addition to his tough defence, he now possessed “fangs” and “claws” that could compete with the black bear!
“Be careful, you big stupid bear. Next, it’s a fight between fierce beasts!”
As his words fell, Icey’s arms suddenly burst out with strength far exceeding before, directly pushing the bewildered big black bear back bit by bit!
Roar!!
The wild instinct hidden inside the big black bear was thoroughly ignited. Sensing the danger, its eyes turned scarlet, and its fangs were exposed.
This was the life-and-death state it entered when facing formidable creatures!
At this point, Icey’s ordinary dual-colour hegemonic practice, under Aqua’s interference, successfully evolved into a pure battle!
…
After battling for over ten minutes, Icey finally stood at the end with unyielding body strength.
Thud!
The big black bear, with its eyes rolling white, fell to the ground with a bang, its neck twisted and lifeless.
Alongside it, lying on the riverside in the shape of a “? [da = big],” was Aqua, also foaming at the mouth.
Icey’s fist crushed the big black bear, while Aqua, well, was drained by Icey…
Although she had just crossed over to the pirate world, her potential was indeed very high, but she was far from growing up, and her mana was quite limited.
The midday sun shone through the mountains and forests, casting light on the slightly messy clearing affected by the battle.
The glaring light made it difficult for Aqua, lying on the ground, to open her eyes. The mud on her face began to dry and crack like a broken mask.
Icey was equally uncomfortable, with a bruised and swollen face, his short sleeves torn open by the bear’s claws, revealing his well-developed chest muscles.
“Although becoming like this is all your fault, causing rare cultivation to become a mess, but no matter what, you did well, Aqua!”
Dragging his tired body to Aqua’s side, Icey leaned over to block the glaring light.
Then he slightly bent over and reached out his arm towards the limp Aqua on the ground.
“You really make people worry, Icey. If I hadn’t been here today, I’m afraid you would have become that stupid bear’s food, right?”
“I don’t know where your good luck comes from, being able to have such an excellent and powerful partner as this goddess!”
Due to instinct, Aqua ignored the first half of Icey’s sentence and quickly revealed her true nature, feeling proud there.
That said, she still cooperated by extending her hand.
Even a lofty goddess sometimes needs help, after all.
