Kneel and Apologize

The instant he was grabbed, the middle-aged fat man tried to pull his hands free!

But he discovered that he could not pull them out at all. Xia Zhiqing's grip seemed to possess the force of ten thousand tons, utterly immovable!

He immediately threw a punch, but Xia Zhiqing neutralized it and then kicked him down onto his knees.

Just as he tried to fight back again, something cold pressed against his head!

Xia Zhiqing's icy voice came through. "I advise you not to move recklessly. Otherwise, be careful—I might accidentally pull the trigger!"

But the middle-aged fat man was not afraid at all. He threatened, "Kid, I advise you to let me go right now, then kneel and apologize to me. Otherwise, you'll regret it!"

"Isn't that the White Wolf Pirates' captain's younger brother? How can this kid be so ignorant of his own limits?"

"He must be some clueless hothead! He doesn't know how formidable the White Wolf Pirates are! If it were me, I'd hurry up and apologize!"

"Stop talking. We should get out of here quickly. It'll be troublesome if we get caught up in this later! White Wolf is a terrifying existence with a bounty of 158 million Beli!"

Seeing the middle-aged fat man, the tavern patrons' expressions changed drastically. They began chattering among themselves, then all rose to leave!

But!

When they reached the entrance, a three-meter-tall giant was already blocking the doorway!

"W-White Wolf Pirates' vice-captain, Poison Wolf, with a bounty of 98 million Beli!!"

The patrons were frightened sober in an instant, their bodies trembling!

"Kid, you've got some nerve, laying hands on one of our men!"

Poison Wolf looked at the middle-aged fat man being held down by Xia Zhiqing. His eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke with killing intent!

"Kneel and apologize now, cut off one of your fingers, and pay ten million Beli in medical expenses. Then I can let you leave!"

Poison Wolf found a chair and sat down, speaking arrogantly!

"Did you hear that, you bastard? Hurry up and let me go, kneel down, and apologize!" the middle-aged fat man shouted smugly!

"What if I say no?"

Xia Zhiqing smiled and stepped on the middle-aged fat man's fingers!

Who was he? Whitebeard's son. Would he be threatened by this?

Besides, Poison Wolf's combat power was only 45—utter trash!

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking rang out, chilling to the bone!

"Ah!"

The middle-aged fat man immediately let out a pig-like scream. He looked to Poison Wolf and pleaded, "Poison Wolf, kill him!! I want him dead!"

Seeing Xia Zhiqing's reaction, Poison Wolf's gaze instantly turned cold. "Very well. I hope you truly have some skill...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp burst of air suddenly tore through the room. Poison Wolf had vanished from where he stood and appeared before Xia Zhiqing!

"Otherwise, you'll use your life as compensation, kid!"

Finger Pistol!

Poison Wolf had actually used Finger Pistol from the Navy's Six Powers. His finger carried fierce force as it shot toward Xia Zhiqing's head!

Yet Xia Zhiqing remained where he was, looking as though he had not reacted at all!

"Hmph, I thought you were something special! Turns out you're just all show. In that case, you can die..."

But just as he thought he could kill Xia Zhiqing, Xia Zhiqing's pupils suddenly shifted, revealing the Two-Tomoe Sharingan!

"Blood...!!!"

The moment Poison Wolf saw the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, he was shocked. Of course he recognized those eyes!

But after uttering only one word, Xia Zhiqing interrupted him. "Genjutsu—Golden Binding Technique!"

Poison Wolf's finger stopped one inch in front of Xia Zhiqing!
