Yun Ye's attitude at this moment was also arrogant to the extreme.
But if these words came from the mouth of someone who had been oppressed, they would make one's blood boil!
Especially the new recruits who had just been taught a lesson—their blood surged even hotter. If not for the unbearable pain in their bodies, they would have scrambled up to fight alongside Yun Ye.
If the new recruits were fired up, then the Senior Recruits felt utterly insulted.
"A mere new recruit, daring to be so insolent!"
One Senior Recruit couldn't take it anymore, charging straight at Yun Ye, clenching his fist as he rushed forward.
Yun Ye followed the same tactic, flickering his form and kicking this Senior Recruit away, sending him crashing into Jace, who had just been trying to stand up!
Jace let out an "Ouch!" as the two rolled together...
"Go, don't be afraid—he's only one man. We can overwhelm him by numbers!"
"Charge together!"
The Senior Recruits, seeing Yun Ye take down one with each kick, realized he was a tough nut to crack and decided to gang up on him.
Rustle...
The Senior Recruits sneered as they swarmed Yun Ye.
Let's see how you fight us now!
Yet, they still underestimated Yun Ye's strength.
With a flicker of Yun Ye's form, another person was sent flying with a kick.
Before long, a large number of people lay sprawled across the field.
Seeing that no one could last a single round against Yun Ye, all the Senior Recruits began to feel afraid.
They had done this sort of thing many times before, but they had never encountered such a ferocious new recruit...
He was practically beating them like they were children!
"Seniors, shall we continue?"
Yun Ye looked at the Senior Recruits, speaking in a calm tone.
Yun Ye's voice was steady, but to all the Senior Recruits, it seemed incredibly arrogant and domineering!
"You..."
Jace wanted to berate Yun Ye, but met his indifferent gaze and swallowed the rest of his words.
Yun Ye swept his gaze across them and said, "We're all comrades here. Seniors, why resort to such actions? The instructors will be arriving soon. If this farce continues, it will only make us a laughingstock in their eyes. How about we let this slide?"
In this situation, he didn't want to go too far. Leaving the Senior Recruits some face would make it easier to win them over later...
If he offended them outright, with every meeting turning into a fight to the death, how could he build influence within the Marines?
So, Yun Ye chose not to push things to the extreme.
All the Senior Recruits exchanged glances, feeling that Yun Ye's words made some sense.
But in truth, they had been beaten into submission by Yun Ye. They had never seen such a vicious new recruit—he fought them like they were children...
Just as they were about to say something, however, a figure rushed over from the distance at breakneck speed.
Roy had been watching Yun Ye ever since he kicked Jace flying. When Yun Ye later displayed his strength, taking down every Senior Recruit with a single kick each, Roy could no longer suppress the fighting spirit surging within him.
He never expected a new recruit to be such a formidable figure!
"New recruit, care for a fight?"
Roy sped over, locking eyes with Yun Ye, his battle intent blazing!
The Senior Recruits lying on the ground heard this voice and felt a jolt in their hearts:
"That voice—it's Roy!"
"Is Roy going to make a move too?"
"Haha, now let's see how this new brat shows off!"
"Roy is already a confirmed member of the Elite Camp, with unfathomable strength! This new recruit is definitely no match for Roy!"
The Senior Recruits grew excited again, and their gazes toward Yun Ye were now tinged with pity.
If Roy had his sights set on him, Yun Ye was in for a rough time!
On the other side, the instructors also showed looks of interest.
Maynard chuckled, "We misjudged him. This kid's got some real skill!"
Lydon added, "But now that Roy's stepped in, I wonder how long he can hold out? Ten minutes?"
Mandel laughed lightly, "If he can force Roy to use his Devil Fruit ability, then he'll have reason to be proud!"
Kage listened to his colleagues' remarks, silently complaining in his mind:
'Skill? He's far beyond just "some skill." Even if this kid joins the Elite Camp, he'd be one of the top existences there!'
"How long can he last—are they talking about Roy?"
"That's right, Roy's still a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. This time he should be able to hold out for about ten minutes, right?"
If those colleagues knew what Kage was thinking right now, they'd definitely be full of question marks—were they even talking about the same thing?
Yun Ye looked over and saw a burly young man with the distinctive build of the pirate world charging toward him at an incredible speed.
Moreover, from the chatter of the Senior Recruits, Yun Ye roughly gathered a bit of information about this person.
'A top-tier recruit already slated for the Elite Camp? I wonder how strong he is. Perfect chance to test myself.'
Yun Ye pondered inwardly, then looked at Roy and said, "Private fights aren't allowed in the Training Camp, senior. You've already broken the rules—are you going to keep pressing?"
"Do you think the instructors don't know about this fight? Then what do you think their reason is for letting it happen?"
Roy sneered. "Let me tell you! The strong get special treatment no matter where they are!"
With that, Roy stamped his foot, his figure vanishing as if disappearing, then reappeared directly behind Yun Ye, throwing a vicious punch like a sledgehammer crashing down!
Yun Ye's figure flickered as well, dodging cleanly, and he looked at Roy with a smile. "The strong get special treatment, huh?"
Roy showed no surprise on his face. From Yun Ye's performance just now, he clearly wasn't someone who could be taken down so easily.
"That's right, the strong get special treatment. Come on, try to beat me! Newcomer!"
A fighting spirit flashed in Roy's eyes. He pushed off the ground, his figure vanishing like teleportation.
His speed was immense—with a single step, he charged at Yun Ye again.
"That condescending attitude—who gave you the right?" Yun Ye's tone remained calm. This time, instead of dodging, he flickered and met the attack head-on!
'Boom!'
Their fists clashed in midair, shockwaves bursting outward.
The next moment, both of them retreated simultaneously.
"Not bad. I didn't misjudge you—your strength really is something!"
Roy laughed heartily, and with a burst of power, his speed increased severalfold, making it impossible for anyone else to track his movements.
But Yun Ye's perception was sharp. His gaze followed the motion, locking onto Roy's figure.
"Right here!" Yun Ye threw a punch forward, and the next instant, Roy's figure appeared abruptly, throwing a punch of his own.
'Boom!'
They clashed again, both stepping back!
"My turn, senior!"
Yun Ye smiled, suddenly lunging forward, reaching out with a fierce punch.
Roy's expression shifted—he hadn't expected Yun Ye to be this fast either—but his reaction was quick. He tilted his head, barely dodging the blow.
As he dodged, he twisted his body and lashed out with a whip kick aimed at Yun Ye's temple.
Yun Ye raised his left arm to block, then let out a cold laugh, clenched his right fist, and drove it into Roy's chest!
