Moon Fang Heaven Piercer!

"Boom!!"

The two collided, and a sky-shattering sound suddenly echoed through the space.

A surge of energy turned into rolling waves that swept outwards. At the point of impact, the ground directly caved in, and dust billowed everywhere!

"Where are you looking?"

From within the dust, a figure broke through with incredible speed. A cold smile played on his lips as he unleashed another punch. The sharp knuckle dusters on his knuckles whistled, and the force of his punch pushed aside the air in front of him, striking a black shadow within the dust!

"Boom!"

The force of the punch pierced through the black shadow and slammed into the ground, creating a massive crater, more terrifying than the power of a cannonball!

The energy dispersed the dust, but where was anyone to be found?

That last strike had only hit an afterimage.

"Where is he?"

Lawrence frowned. The next moment, he sensed danger approaching from above and looked up, seeing a bolt of lightning descending directly towards him.

Then, he heard a calm voice: "White Lightning!"

Lawrence dodged to the side. Just as he was about to launch another attack, he felt a scorching heat wave approaching from his right.

Over there, Yun Ye landed with a Flash Step, raised his hand, and unleashed the thirty-third Forbidden Art: Azure Firefall!

Before the explosive flames even arrived, the heat wave had already preceded them, causing Lawrence's expression to change drastically. He tried to dodge, but found that the explosive flames were radiating outwards in a fan shape, engulfing his escape route!

With no other option, Lawrence could only choose to endure the attack head-on!

He shielded himself with his arms, intending to block Yun Ye's strike!

But was Yun Ye's attack something that could be easily blocked?

Without Armament Haki, relying solely on physical defense, even a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user would not emerge unscathed from this attack!

With a "Boom," the explosive flames struck, sending Lawrence flying back over a hundred meters. He smashed through trees along the way, finally crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater!

"Oh? Still alive? Then... how about this?"

Yun Ye sneered. Although he didn't know who this person was, just hearing him say, "I will slaughter everyone on this island," was enough for Yun Ye to consider him an enemy.

An enemy was someone to be eliminated!

Yun Ye leaped into the air with a Flash Step, raising his sword above his head. An incredibly strong sword intent condensed around him.

His gaze was cold, fixed on Lawrence below, a chilling smile on his lips: "Moon Fang... Heaven Piercer!"

A sword intent brewed on the blade. Then, a crescent-shaped slash dozens of meters long erupted from the sword's edge, fiercely cleaving down towards Lawrence!

The ability of Zangetsu, Moon Fang Heaven Piercer, was unleashed by Yun Ye at this moment!

The sharpness contained within this sword was countless times greater than before, as if it could cleave the entire island in two!!

Over there, Lawrence had just gotten to his feet when he saw a terrifying slash descending directly from above. At this moment, he finally felt fear and couldn't help but exclaim, "A slash of this magnitude? Who exactly are you!? Are you a member of CP0?"

He felt that this sword was insurmountable!

However, even an ant has the will to resist when facing death, let alone a desperate pirate!

At this moment, Lawrence went completely berserk. His eyes bled, his expression contorted, and he unleashed his full power. He drew his fists towards his abdomen, and with all his might, he punched upwards towards the sky: "Break for me!!"

In a moment of crisis, Lawrence completely unleashed his potential. This strike was also his strongest attack ever!

"Boom!"

The two attacks collided again, this time with an even more violent sound!

The ground beneath Lawrence's feet collapsed again, and the shockwave swept outwards, blowing away rock formations and trees!

Crushed! Crushed!

Yun Ye's sword strike cleaved through Lawrence's erupted fist energy.

Finally, the crescent-shaped slash descended with a "Chii" sound, leaving a sword mark over a hundred meters long, stretching across the area!

It created a man-made ravine on the island!

Below, Lawrence's body was cut in half. His internal organs were exposed, but the powerful vitality of the pirate world kept him from dying completely. He looked up at Yun Ye in the sky, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, gasping intermittently, "Cough... cough... Don't, don't think you've succeeded..."

Towards the end, as if experiencing a final burst of energy, Lawrence unleashed his last bit of life force, laughing wildly, "Hahaha, Lord Judge won't give up on his research results! The Vinsmoke Family's grand fleet is already heading towards this island. You, all of you, and everyone on this island will die! No one will survive! Hahaha..."

Yun Ye frowned upon hearing this and ended Lawrence's life with a final White Lightning.

Lawrence's wild laughter abruptly stopped. His eyes glazed over, and he finally took his last breath, all life extinguished.

Yun Ye briefly hovered in the air, stepping on the air with Flash Step, also panting heavily. This sword had consumed a significant amount of his stamina.

Here, the cost of using skills was his own stamina. If his physique wasn't strong enough, he couldn't even increase their power.

If he later unlocked Flowing Blade Like Fire, but his physique wasn't strong enough, and the sun's surface temperature couldn't be manifested, making it only useful for lighting candles, how embarrassing would that be?

'My physique is still not strong enough...'

Yun Ye realized his current shortcomings, but there was nothing he could do. Physical strength couldn't be improved overnight; it required long-term accumulation.

Yun Ye already had his own plan for this. Perhaps joining the Navy would be a good choice...

Next, Yun Ye looked at Lawrence's corpse and recalled his words, falling into deep thought: 'The Vinsmoke Family...'

Finally, Yun Ye smiled confidently and muttered to himself, "Then let him come. If he dares to come, I dare to make him pay the price!"

However, Lawrence, who was already dead, could no longer hear these words. If Lawrence were still alive and happened to hear Yun Ye's words, he would undoubtedly call them arrogant!

Of course, Yun Ye had the confidence to say this because he hadn't used his full power in that Moon Fang Heaven Piercer attack just now!

[Ding, first time killing a pirate with a bounty of 40 million Berries, rewarded with 200 Achievement Points!]

[Acquired the 'Evil Bane' achievement, rewarded with one [Special Type] random draw!]

The system's voice sounded.

'Huh? Random draw? Special type? This is the first time!!'

Yun Ye was surprised. He didn't expect the system to reward him with anything other than Achievement Points.

A draw, for a skill?

And it's a special type??

In Yun Ye's speculation, special types should be abilities from [Hollow] or [Quincy].

Behind the four branches of [Blade, Fist, Walk, Ghost], the skill icons could be seen, they just weren't lit up.

However, behind the [Special Type] branch, no skill icons appeared; everything was blank.

This was why Yun Ye was speculating about what [Special Type] might offer.

The first thing Yun Ye thought of was other factions and races from Death God.

[Hollow] and [Quincy] naturally came to mind.
