A transaction between kings?

'King of the Dark World?'

Yun Ye's thoughts flashed through his mind, but his hands didn't stop. He raised his palm, and a pale, blazing flame erupted, engulfing everyone.

As the explosion sounded, severed limbs and broken arms flew!

Yun Ye naturally knew who the King of the Dark World was.

Hidden beneath the surface, these dark forces were all powerful figures who controlled resources in their respective domains.

The leaders of entire industries, their influence was so great that even the Navy dared not underestimate them!

Although they certainly couldn't compare to the Great Pirates, their infamy was enough to stop children from crying.

Yun Ye didn't have many memories of these Kings of the Dark World.

He only knew of a few, and didn't even know what they looked like.

The ones he was somewhat familiar with were the bird from the World Economic Journal, and a certain Shichibukai!

'I wonder which one they're referring to?'

Yun Ye chuckled, not feeling scared at all. Instead, he found it rather interesting.

Then, Yun Ye's gaze shifted towards a certain direction. There, the captain of the Evil Ghost Pirate Crew, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, tried to slip away, but Yun Ye's perception detected him.

Yun Ye vanished from his original spot. With a few steps, he appeared before the Evil Ghost. Looking at this audacious fellow, Yun Ye smiled faintly, "Where do you think you're going?"

The Evil Ghost's body abruptly stopped. He looked at Yun Ye in terror and stammered, "You can't kill me. I have a King of the Dark World behind me. I was sent on a mission by them. If you dare to kill me, you'll be offending more than just one King of the Dark World!"

"Heh…" Yun Ye let out a chuckle and said, "Do you think I'd believe that? And even if it's true, so what? Those people earlier also said they had someone supporting them. Then look at their current state?"

Yun Ye didn't think it was such a coincidence that killing a few people would offend two Kings of the Dark World.

If it were such a coincidence, he'd be incredibly lucky!

And even if it were true, so what?

Just as Yun Ye was about to finish off the Evil Ghost, another voice came from the side:

"I think you'd better stop. What he said is true!"

Yun Ye looked over and saw the group he had encountered earlier approaching. Their expressions were calm, unfazed by Yun Ye's display of power.

The one speaking was a young man at the forefront, nearly two meters tall, with a sword at his waist and a red cloak draped over his back. He also wore a hat embroidered with a skull, and he looked at Yun Ye, grinning.

Upon seeing this person, the Evil Ghost's face lit up with joy, as if he had seen a savior.

Clearly, he knew this young man!

Yun Ye raised his hand and pointed White Lightning, which struck the Evil Ghost's head directly, piercing it. The Evil Ghost's joyous expression froze, and then his life force extinguished…

Yun Ye didn't even look, and said indifferently, "Say that again, I didn't hear you clearly?"

Seeing this, the young man's face immediately turned grim. He said coldly, "You fellow, are you looking for death?"

"Always talking about looking for death. If you want to die, who do you think you are?" Yun Ye couldn't tolerate these people's bad habits. He raised his hand, and blazing flames surged out, bringing them all within his attack range!

"Truly arrogant!"

The young man snorted coldly, drew his sword, and slashed forward. The sword's momentum stirred the air, and a slash shot towards Yun Ye's blazing flames.

Boom!

The two attacks collided in mid-air, erupting with a gust of wind that scattered outwards!

"It seems you don't understand the concept of a King of the Dark World. Let me tell you!"

The young man blocked Yun Ye's attack with his sword. He looked at Yun Ye, raising his head arrogantly, "Perhaps you don't realize, these people control the underground forces of the New World, and each of them is a renowned big shot!"

"Perhaps with your limited vision, you don't even know what the New World is. In short, you just need to remember one thing: even the Navy doesn't dare to offend them lightly! So, knowing their might, you must be feeling extremely terrified, right?"

"If you disrupt their transactions, you will be hunted by two such existences!"

The young man sneered at Yun Ye. In his opinion, Yun Ye, upon realizing he had offended such figures, should be showing extreme fear and trepidation. That was the expression he wanted to see!

It would bring him great pleasure!

Barlow Pirate Crew, captain Barlofiya, bounty 43,960,000 Belly. They frequently traveled between the Grand Line and the Four Seas.

On the surface, they were a pirate crew, but in reality, they were subordinates of the Shipping King!

And that Evil Ghost, like him, was also a subordinate of the Shipping King!

As for why they were on this island, it was because the Shipping King and another King of the Dark World were conducting a transaction on this island!

They were dispatched because of this!

The Evil Ghost fled here because he knew about this matter!

"And then? As far as I know, these people can only be kings and overlords in the shadows, right? They can't stand on the main stage at all!" Yun Ye was unconcerned. Judging from their performance in the original story, they were much weaker than the Four Emperors!

Yun Ye wasn't afraid at all!

Even the future Four Emperors didn't scare Yun Ye. Although his strength hadn't reached that level yet, as long as he was given time, surpassing them would be a matter of minutes!

Instead, he was more interested in the transaction that Barlofiya mentioned…

'A transaction?' Yun Ye's curiosity grew, and he even began to consider how to profit from it…

"You..."

Barlofiya's expression turned grim. Seeing his master so insulted, he was instantly filled with rage!

"Alright, enough talk. Let me kill you all first!" Yun Ye spotted a box in their hands and wondered if this was the item for the transaction.

Yun Ye grinned, preparing to make his move!

With a swish, Yun Ye vanished, charging forward like lightning.

He instantly appeared before Barlofiya. A hum pulsed from his back, and white lightning materialized. His shoulders tore through his clothes as Yun Ye's aura suddenly became violently berserk!

Boom!

Yun Ye threw a punch, and the air before him seemed to ripple. Then, an incredibly terrifying impact swept forward, kicking up dust and sand!

However, this group was clearly much stronger than that Dia Mafia. Facing Yun Ye's attack, they all moved together, jointly blocking it!

"Charge!"

Barlofiya roared, drawing his sword and charging at Yun Ye!

He thrust his sword out, aiming to pierce Yun Ye's heart.

But Yun Ye dodged it with a flash!

Yun Ye turned and delivered a powerful whip kick, sending Barlofiya flying dozens of meters. He crashed through buildings along the way, finally landing on the ground with a boom, creating a massive crater!

Yun Ye intended to pursue, but someone in the group fired a cannon at him.

Yun Ye sensed it and flickered away to avoid it.

Below, a boom of an explosion sounded.

Mid-air, Yun Ye's expression turned cold. He raised his hand, and explosive flames swept downwards, detonating with a roar and blasting over a dozen people away.
