The Power of a Dragon!

As soon as the leader finished speaking, the veteran pirates in the crowd began to line up.

Their eyes gleamed with anticipation, their gazes fixed intently on the syringes inside the box.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time they'd received Quinn's needles.

Previously, they had all experienced the powerful training effects of Quinn injections.

The new product, "Nine Dragon Needles," has them extremely excited, and they can't wait to stick the needles into their bodies.

It's worth noting that the previous regular acupuncture treatments were already quite effective.

This new "Nine Dragon Needle" is bound to take off!

Only some of the newer pirates remained somewhat puzzled, their eyes showing a mixture of curiosity and unease.

At that moment, the pirate captain also took a needle from the box.

He ripped open his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.

The leader pounded his chest, making muffled "thump-thump" sounds.

"See that! The reason I'm so strong is all thanks to Lord Quinn's injections!"

"Just one injection and you'll become as strong as me!"

The leader became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

Without hesitation, he aimed the syringe at his arm and inserted it, skillfully pushing the medicine into his body.

The dark green liquid slowly entered his body, and the muscles in the leader's arms visibly bulged, with veins throbbing violently under his skin.

"See that? That's power!"

Seeing their leader's fanatical expression, the pirates all revealed eager looks.

After all, who doesn't want to become stronger?

However, a thin pirate in the crowd was pale.

It's something that others notice differently.

He could clearly see that the leader's arms, shoulders, and back were covered with countless needle marks and festering wounds, some of which were still bleeding!

What also made the skinny pirate uneasy was...

The blood flowing from the leader's body was different from that of ordinary people; it wasn't bright red, but dark red!

Moreover, it has a very high viscosity, and from a distance it looks like oil!

Seeing this, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and mustered up his courage to ask:

"Boss... I heard this needle... seems to be veterinary medicine?"

"If it gets stuck in our bodies, won't anything really happen?"

The moment the words were spoken, the entire open space fell silent.

Everyone turned their heads and stared blankly at the skinny pirate.

The pirate captain's smile froze on his face as he slowly turned around.

"What did you say?"

The skinny pirate instinctively took a half step back, but still forced himself to say:

"I... I heard it from someone else... that this injection was originally a muscle-building drug developed by Lord Queen for Sea Kings, meant to help Lord Kaido grow stronger."

"Go to hell! Don't you dare insult my Lord Quinn with your filthy mouth!"

He strode up to the skinny pirate, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him off the ground.

"What kind of veterinary medicine is this! This is the Nine Dragon Needle, personally developed by Lord Queen! It's a secret treasure of the Beasts Pirates!"

Lord Quinn painstakingly created this miraculous potion to make us stronger, and you dare to question it?!

He looked the skinny pirate up and down, and suddenly realized something.

"I see, it must be because they didn't do enough injections, so they said that on purpose!"

I see you're a little glutton, you clearly want a few more injections!

Okay, I'll allow you to give me a few more needles this time!

The skinny pirate's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"No! Boss, that's not what I meant!"

However, the leader completely ignored the skinny pirate's words and turned to shout at the other pirates:

"Guards! Give him nine needles! Let him eat his fill!"

"Nine... nine needles?!"

The skinny pirate's eyes widened as he struggled desperately.

"No, no, no! Just one injection! I'll just have one!"

However, none of the pirates around him listened to him.

Since their leader had spoken, they, as his subordinates, naturally had to obey.

Several people rushed up and pinned down the skinny pirate's limbs.

The other pirates rushed to the iron box, and each grabbed a handful of Nine Dragons Muscle Strengthening Needles.

The skinny pirate stared in terror at the numerous syringes in the other pirates' hands, and cried out:

"Wait... wait! Listen to me!"

The boss means a total of nine needles!

I didn't mean for each of you to give me nine needles!

However, the top-tier pirates wouldn't listen to him at all.

All they knew was that their boss had given them orders to give him nine acupuncture needles.

As for whether it's a total of nine needles or nine needles per person, that's a bit beyond their scope.

As the skinny pirate watched dozens of needles get closer and closer, his heart sank to the bottom of the earth.

With so many needles piercing him, he felt like he was about to ascend to the Nine Dragons Planet!

He twisted and turned desperately, trying to escape this hopeless hell.

However, because his limbs were held down tightly, he was unable to move at all.

"Stop! Help! Someone save me!"

He looked around desperately, trying to find anyone who could help him.

Just then, he suddenly froze.

He looked up at the Sky Manipulation, a fleeting look of bewilderment crossing his eyes.

"Heavens... heavens! There seems to be someone in the sky!"

Upon hearing this, the pirate captain turned around impatiently.

"You're talking nonsense again! How could there be people in the sky!"

He hadn't finished speaking.

A black dot did indeed appear in the Sky Manipulation, and it was falling rapidly at an alarming speed.

The black dots are getting bigger and clearer.

That definitely looked like a human!

At the same time, a shout came from the Sky Manipulation.

"Shadow, Shadow, Giant Shadow Fist!"

"Nani!"

The pirate captain cried out in surprise, but before he could finish speaking, the enormous black shadow's fist, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed into him with perfect accuracy.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar resounded from the spot, and dust and debris scattered in all directions due to the force of the impact.

The approaching pirates were thrown about, their syringes flying out of their hands and shattering into pieces on the ground.

The skinny pirate was also thrown several times by the blast wave, landing awkwardly on the ground.

He looked up and tried to make out the scene through the smoke and dust.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

A young man dressed in strange clothes was standing in the spot where the pirate leader had just stood.

Beneath his feet was a large crater, from which the pirate leader could be vaguely seen at the bottom.

The young man dusted himself off and looked around.

Then, he looked down at the pit beneath his feet.

He glanced at the dumbfounded pirates around him and gave them a friendly smile.

"Um... excuse me, are you from the Beasts Pirates?"

"My name is Akuta, and I'm here to cause them trouble. I haven't attacked the wrong person, have I?"
