At that moment, the two Celestial Dragons' slaves had nearly reached Will.
They stopped a short distance in front of him, their eyes full of murderous intent as they glared at the man who had interrupted their master's amusement.
These two really think they're pets of the Celestial Dragons...
Looking at their expressions and reactions, Will's eyes turned colder than the blizzard around them.
"I have to say, you two have managed to make me even angrier!"
At that, the buzz-cut man on the right darkened, then immediately charged forward at a run.
As soon as he got close, he threw a punch without holding anything back.
"Die!"
Bam!
With a heavy impact, the buzz-cut man's fist landed squarely on Will's chest.
Will didn't seem to feel a thing. He frowned. "What are you messing around for?"
"What?! How is that possible?!"
The buzz-cut man was stunned. He instinctively hurried back two steps.
The long-haired man, who hadn't attacked, looked just as surprised.
"Stop wasting time! Hurry up and deal with that bug!"
An impatient voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
It was Saint Charlos.
He hadn't come to watch such a boring fight.
Hearing their master's order, the two slaves' expressions changed, and they immediately sprang into action.
In the next moment,
their bodies began to undergo a sudden transformation, and thick coats of fur quickly sprouted all over them.
"Oh? Is that... a Devil Fruit?!"
Will raised his brows at the sight, unable to hide his delight. I didn't expect a bonus surprise.
Under the horrified gazes of the many slaves gathered around them, the two Celestial Dragons' slaves quickly completed their transformations.
What stood before everyone now were two enormous animals!
The buzz-cut man had become a strong yak covered in thick fur, with sharp horns on its head.
The long-haired man had turned into a huge brown bear with sharp fangs and claws. Standing upright, he was probably taller than Will.
"Heh, looks like this guy's scared stiff."
Seeing Will standing motionless, the yak that had been the buzz-cut man couldn't help sneering.
The brown bear that had been the long-haired man immediately cut in.
"Enough. Let's deal with him together, or we'll be in trouble if our master blames us."
"You don't want to be punished by our master later, do you?"
At that, the yak seemed to remember something. A look of fear, almost human in its clarity, flashed across his eyes.
He stopped wasting his breath, lowered his head, and charged forward first.
The two sharp horns on his head pointed straight at Will's chest!
The brown bear followed close behind, galloping on all fours at no slower a pace.
As the yak charged straight at him,
Will didn't even bother to dodge. He reached out and grabbed the yak's horns, stopping its charge in an instant.
Then he began grappling with the yak using just one hand.
"What?! This is impossible!"
Feeling the terrifying force coming from his horns, the yak stared in horror and scraped at the ground with his hooves, trying to knock the man in front of him flying.
He gouged several holes in the solid rocky ground, but the man before him didn't move an inch.
Just then,
the brown bear ran up to Will. He rose fully upright, then brought his massive paws crashing down.
Thud!
A tremendous impact rang out!
Will should have been knocked to the ground, but he was still completely unharmed.
Instead, the attacking brown bear suddenly threw his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood before crashing to the ground.
Will slowly lowered his left hand and said coldly, his face expressionless,
"Who said you could touch me with those filthy hands you've been crawling around on, you bastard?!"
With that,
Will turned his gaze to the yak in front of him.
Then,
his right hand, still gripping the yak's horns, suddenly tightened. He hoisted the entire yak high into the air!
As the yak stared in disbelief, Will swung him around and slammed him again and again into the ground on all sides!
Thud! Bam! Thud! Bam! Thud!
After the final deafening crash, the yak lay limp in a nearby crater.
He stared blankly up at the snowy sky, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth. His mind was completely dazed.
The brown bear, who had been lying nearby, had also been smashed hard twice with the yak.
Now he was buried in the ground, eyes rolled back and unconscious.
The brown bear's fur quickly receded, and he gradually returned to his original form as the long-haired man.
Will glanced at the two slaves lying in the ground. His eyes were full of disappointment, and his voice held a trace of disdain.
"Heh, what weak Devil Fruit Users."
At that, the yak, who had been dazed, suddenly came to his senses and sprang up, shifting into Human-Beast Form.
Roaring loudly, he charged at Will once more.
"You damn bastard! How dare you look down on me like that!"
"Do you know who I am? I'm the slave of the noble Celestial Dragons!"
Will had thought the other man might have something profound to say.
Instead, those words sullied his ears, and his face instantly darkened.
"Die!"
The yak in Human-Beast Form paid no attention to any of that. He charged forward and swung a hoof furiously at Will's head.
Will couldn't even be bothered to speak. He drove a heavy punch into the wide-open chest in front of him.
Tekkai: Collapsing Fist!
Bam!
A muffled boom rang out, and a wave of air blasted the surrounding snowflakes outward!
The humanoid yak spat blood toward the sky, but before he could hit the ground,
Will had already stepped forward again and seized him by the neck, lifting him high into the air with a cold look in his eyes!
"P-please... spare me... let me live..."
"I... I don't... want to die..."
Overcome by the fear of death, the man in Human-Beast Form instinctively began begging for mercy.
After that punch hit his chest, he'd felt as though his heart had stopped beating.
But then, all of a sudden, he'd felt himself come back to life, and even the pain in his body had quickly faded.
He didn't know what was going on.
But the strange sensation gave him a glimmer of hope that he might be able to turn the tables. So he hurriedly kept begging and acting weak, hoping to let his guard down.
Will looked at the man in his hand, blood still spilling from the corners of his mouth as he begged nonstop.
His expression didn't change. His eyes remained icy cold.
Crack!
Will didn't give him another moment to speak. He squeezed with one hand, crushing the man's neck bones completely.
He dropped the body, which was slowly returning to its human form.
Will slowly turned around. Murder glinted in his eyes as he asked coldly,
"Who's next?"
