Xi Yan's Surprise, Steel Body?

"There's definitely something to it," Xi Yan said, squinting.

Although it's unclear how the opponent launched the wave-like attack, such a method could indeed penetrate the armor and strike the person inside.

Of course, if the opponent possesses sufficiently powerful Haki, then this move won't be very effective.

Wait a minute... Haki??

As if he had just realized something, Xi Yan showed a surprised expression and said, "Could this move be a way of using Haki?"

Thinking of this, Xi Yan revealed a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, the host exclaimed, "Is this the strength of the Eight Treasure Navy, which has a history of hundreds of years?!"

"That's absolutely amazing!"

"Then... just how powerful must Chinjao, the former pillar and leader of the Eight Treasure Navy, be?!"

"He's a notorious pirate with a bounty of 500 million!"

At this point, the host's eyes were filled with anticipation, clearly very curious about just how strong this expert was.

"A pirate with a bounty of 500 million Beli, huh?"

Distracted from his thoughts, Xi Yan subconsciously looked at Chinjao's face and muttered, "If I remember correctly, Shakky-jie once said something, that is, the bounty in the past was not so easy to increase."

In other words, this old man with a bounty of only 500 million is actually a very powerful individual.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan showed an interested expression. He was really curious about how Lihai this guy who could go toe-to-toe with old man Garp must be.

If this guy can fight Garp to a standstill, then his strength must be monstrous.

"A great pirate with a bounty of 500 million Beli, huh!"

Some gladiators approached Chinjao, looking at Chinjao with greedy eyes, and said, "So, defeating you is as valuable as winning the championship, isn't it?"

"Chinjao!"

"Heh heh heh, interested in my head?" Chinjao clapped his hands and sneered, "You lot aren't good enough, you little brats!"

"Buzz~"

The next moment, Conqueror's Haki burst forth, landing on those who were interested in him, and forcefully knocking them unconscious.

"Conqueror's Haki...?"

Those who noticed the situation from afar all showed expressions of surprise, clearly not expecting that this old man, who looked like he was about to die, could possess such Haki.

"Is this the former pillar of the Eight Treasure Navy?"

"Amazing!"

"He used to be a legendary pirate with a bounty of 500 million Beli, so it's normal for him to have such Haki."

"What to do?"

"Let's join forces, otherwise no one can stand against him."

"Profound!"

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the group immediately formed a temporary alliance, clearly intending to eliminate the Chinjao first.

"I only have one goal, don't get in my way!" Chinjao snapped.

He still hasn't found any trace of the Straw Hat, which is making him very unhappy.

Sensing Chinjao's anger, the crowd subconsciously took a few steps back, clearly intimidated by Chinjao's imposing aura.

Just then, a man wearing a scarf and mask ran over from the side, chuckling as he picked up the weapons from the ground.

"Falling, falling, falling, falling~"

"Thanks, Chinjao," the man said. "Thanks to you, I was able to find so many weapons to pick up."

As he spoke, he burst into laughter, clearly not taking the Chinjao seriously, which surprised the Chinjao.

The host also witnessed this surprising scene.

"Look, everyone!"

The host announced loudly, "This man, who remains as steady as a mountain despite the imposing aura of Leader Chinjao, is none other than John the Raider, the famous bounty hunter of the New World!"

"This person is also Dark Horse in this competition!"

By the end, the host's face showed anticipation. Would this man challenge the leader, Chinjao?

"Looks like I'm quite famous too."

Listening to the host's introduction, Raider John grinned, then continued to crouch down and pick up the weapons on the ground, without attacking the leader, Chinjao, which disappointed the host somewhat.

"Wait a minute, you bastard!"

"Um?"

John the Raider glanced at the shouting man behind him, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Hadn't this guy heard what the host just said?

Would you still dare to cause him trouble under these circumstances?

Does he not know how to write the word "death"?

"Finally found you."

The man, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, said, "Since I've run into you, you must die here!"

As he spoke, the man swung his longsword, his arm bulging with veins!

"Do I know you?" the Raider John asked, puzzled.

The person was speaking as if they had a grudge against him, but... he didn't remember them.

Could it be some pirate we missed in the past?

It's not impossible.

"You bastard, you've forgotten?" the man roared. "You're the one who sent my partner to prison! You've forgotten?"

How could he possibly forget!

With that thought in mind, the man rushed toward the raider John, clearly intending to kill him with his weapon.

"Sorry, I've captured too many pirates to remember them all," said Raider John casually. "But since we've run into each other, let me give you a ride too."

After saying that, Raider John immediately activated his Devil Fruit ability, raising his hand and throwing his weapon out.

"Whoosh~"

"Puff!"

Like a bullet, the sharp longsword pierced through the man's body in the blink of an eye, inflicting a fatal wound!

"Hateful..."

The desperate man let out a mournful cry, then rolled his Byakugan back and lost consciousness.

After glancing at the man he had just killed, Raider John said calmly, "If you had the guts to break into Underwater Great Prison like those two, I might think more highly of you, but unfortunately... you don't have that guts."

After shaking his head, John the Raider ignored the guy and turned to walk away.

He needs to collect more weapons so he can take down more enemies!

"Truly astonishing strength!" the host exclaimed. "They crushed the enemy with a single blow!"

Although I didn't see clearly how Raider John made his move, his strength is undeniable; he truly deserves to be one of the Dark Horse of this tournament!

The host then turned his attention to another area, where Kerry Frank was brutally beating the contestant in front of him, continuing even after the opponent lost consciousness, which greatly surprised him.

"Who is this person?" the host asked in surprise.

Let me see.

The woman next to him picked up the list of contestants, glanced at it, and then handed it to the host, saying, "Here, his resume is."

The host, who casually glanced at the resumes, exclaimed in surprise, "Two more strong contenders!"

Then, he picked up the microphone and said loudly, "These two powerful fighters are the infamous assassin duo known throughout the underworld!"

"It is said that he possesses the ability to hunt down pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million, and his strength is extremely formidable!"

"No wonder it's so ferocious..."

As the host explained, the surrounding audience members showed expressions of "I see" or "I understand now."

So he was an assassin... that explains it.

"Killer?"

Abu glanced at Kerry Frank and grinned, "Can you hunt pirates with bounties over 100 million?"

"Let me test your skills."

After saying that, Abu walked step by step towards Kerry Frank. Once he was behind him, Abu grinned and said, "Hey, shorty, let me spar with you."

"What did you say?"

When Kerry Frank heard someone call him a shorty, he was furious. The thing he hated most in his life was being called a shorty!

After letting out an angry roar, Kerry Frank quickly turned and punched Abu.

"Give me..."

"Bump!"

Without giving him a chance to talk, Abu punched Kerry Frank in the face, sending him flying towards his brother Bobby Frank.

"Huh?"

Abu was dumbfounded as he watched Kerry Frank being knocked down with a single punch.

How come this guy is so weak?

"Is... is this guy too weak?" The host stared dumbfounded at the scene, then continued, "No, it's probably because the Eight Treasure Navy is too strong."

I thought the two would have a fierce battle, but he was defeated after taking just one move from Abu. This... he's too weak!

Thinking about this, the host felt extremely annoyed; he had been looking forward to it for nothing!

"What a disappointment," Abu said speechlessly.

This guy is weaker than I imagined.

After shaking his head, Abu turned his gaze to Bobby Frank and said, "Alright, it's your turn now."

"Wait... wait a minute!"

Bobby Frank said fearfully, "I don't fight. I've never been in a fight since I was born."

"Who cares about you!"

Abu leaped up and brought his axe down hard, shouting, "Die!"

Seeing the axe getting closer and closer, Bobby Frank was so frightened that he immediately turned around and covered his head, exposing his back completely to Abu.

Seeing this, Abu's eyes grew even more disdainful.

Subsequently, the intensity of the efforts was increased.

"Go..."

"Clang!"

"What?"

Abu was stunned as he stared at the axe that Bobby Frank had shattered.

His axe... it broke?

Keep in mind that this is an axe imbued with Armament Haki!

And what about the other side?

With his sheer strength, he shattered the axe that was imbued with Haki...

What a horrible body!

Xi Yan looked at Bobby Frank with some surprise and said, "This guy blocked the slash that was wrapped in Haki with his own strength?"

Her physical condition is amazing.

Steel Body?

If one could undergo systematic training and master sufficiently powerful combat skills and Haki aura, their strength could definitely reach a terrifying level.

Then, Xi Yan noticed the frightened expression on Bobby Frank's face and said with a regretful look, "It's just a pity that this guy's personality isn't very good..."

If this weak personality cannot be changed, one will never be able to master Haki in this lifetime.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan shook his head, feeling extremely regretful.

"Big brother..." Bobby Frank looked at his older brother cautiously and asked, "Are you alright?"

At this moment, Bobby Frank was not concerned about the opponent's attack, since the opponent could not break through his defense.

Therefore, he was more worried about his older brother's injuries than himself.

"That bastard dared to call me a shorty..." Kerry Frank said through gritted teeth, "He deserves to die!"

"Big brother..."

"Brother, hurry up and put this on me," Kerry Frank said. "I'm going to kill him."

After saying that, Kerry Franky activated his Devil Fruit power, turning his body into a jacket.

Then, the younger brother, Bobby Frank, picked up his older brother and carefully put the clothes on himself.

"This feels amazing," Kerry Frank said with a sneer. "This is the true power of us brothers!"

After letting out a sinister laugh, Kerry Frank turned his gaze to Abu, his eyes icy cold.

"I'll show you what happens when you're foul-mouthed!"

"You think you can defeat me by using that weird ability?" Abu's face darkened as he said, "I am the Vice Pillar of the Eight Treasure Navy!"

As the Vice Pillar of the Eight Treasure Navy, not just anyone can be used to stage an accident!

After letting out a cold laugh, Abu quickly charged towards Kerry Frank.

"Hasshoken!"

"Clang!"

"Buzz~"

Feeling the shockwave from the punch, Abu smiled.

"Give me..."

"Bump!"

Before he could finish speaking, Kerry Frank punched him in the face, and then he was sent flying into the air by a barrage of punches, trembling in mid-air.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?"

The host stared in astonishment at Kerry Frank, who was launching a relentless attack, and said, "Just now, Kerry Frank, the older brother, was dressed up by his younger brother?"

"Did I see wrong?"

"No... he's the only one left on the field now, so I must be seeing things."

"So, these two brothers used this power to become one person and then unleash even more terrifying power?"

"Amazing!"

Although it's unknown what Devil Fruit power they used to achieve this, their strength is indeed formidable; even the Vice Pillar of the Eight Treasure Navy is no match for them!

"How terrifying..."

Seeing the Kerry Frank brothers' relentless attack, the surrounding spectators looked on in fear; these guys were just too ruthless.

Even those of them who were used to dueling matches felt that Kerry Frank was incredibly ruthless, so ruthless that it terrified them.

Xi Yan, however, didn't pay any attention to the guy's ferocious appearance, after all, he had seen even more ferocious guys before.

What was that just now?

Xi Yan asked curiously, "Kerry Frank turned into a piece of clothing?"

As he spoke, the scene from earlier flashed through Xi Yan's mind; it seemed that Kerry Frank had indeed turned into a piece of clothing.

No, to be precise, it's a jacket.

Jacket Fruit?

Are there really any other Devil Fruit abilities in this world that are this bizarre?

Although it's a bit bizarre, this Devil Fruit seems to work perfectly well for these two brothers.

After all, the younger brother was very timid, but physically incredibly strong.

Therefore, wearing the jacket that transforms into the older brother and letting the other person control one's body is indeed a very good method.

They probably used this same trick when hunting pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million in the past.

Haha, interesting.
