With a thunderous boom, Blackbeard was blasted into the sky, then fell straight to the ground like a kite with its string cut.
Along with him came his blood-streaked teeth.
Blackbeard crashed into the ground, his face filled with terror. His features had been shaken crooked, blood flowing incessantly from his mouth. There was not a single intact part left on his body.
His clothes had been blown to tatters, blood covered him everywhere, and only four of his fingers remained. His pistol ring and the liquor at his waist had long since been blasted who knew where.
"Pe... people's dreams will never end! I, Blackbeard Teach, haven't... haven't lost..." Blackbeard gasped between ragged breaths.
Ye Yu curled his lip. He truly could not understand how a despicable bastard like Blackbeard could keep talking about dreams all day without feeling sick.
He was nothing more than a lowly rat willing to abandon everything for his own selfish desires.
In the forest one kilometer east, Lily raised her binoculars again and curiously looked toward the battlefield.
"...He... he did it! That Blackbeard pirate is dead?" Lily said excitedly.
The people around her were overjoyed when they heard that. This was wonderful news to them. That Blackbeard pirate had killed many of the island's residents! It could be considered revenge for them!
The village chief snatched the binoculars from her and, upon seeing Blackbeard's miserable state, was so shocked that he could not close his mouth. He swallowed hard twice.
"I... I never expected such a powerful pirate to be so utterly vulnerable before that young man!"
On the battlefield, Ye Yu walked up to the dying Blackbeard, a faint curve forming on his lips.
"Remember this. It was Almighty Push."
After taking two steps, Ye Yu stopped.
"Oh, right. I also mixed in the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. You'll experience it soon enough."
With that, Ye Yu turned away. Given his trouble-averse nature, killing an enemy and completing the mission would normally have been enough. But when facing Blackbeard, the character he hated most in One Piece—
Ye Yu had put in a little extra effort. On top of his Almighty Push, he had mixed in the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power. When his Conqueror's Haki erupted, that force had been driven directly into Blackbeard's body along with it.
As for Blackbeard's useless subordinates whom he had knocked unconscious with his Conqueror's Haki, Ye Yu had killed them all with it as quickly as possible before leaving!
Back on his small boat, he once again used his Haki to steer it across the sea.
"What a miscalculation. I should've brought someone to row for me," Ye Yu said helplessly.
Although using Conqueror's Haki to row cost Ye Yu practically nothing, it was simply too troublesome. Wouldn't it be much better to have someone else row while he lay on the boat, basking in the sun and sleeping?
Just as Ye Yu had traveled one kilometer away from Robina Island—
Blackbeard Teach actually managed to sit halfway up through sheer willpower. Looking at his mangled body, he panted heavily.
His lips trembled as he muttered, "I truly... truly never expected the Whitebeard Pirates to have someone so powerful... I'm really lucky to have survived him. Zehahaha!"
Lily, who was still observing the battlefield from the forest because she was too afraid of the pirates to approach rashly, was so startled that she nearly screamed.
The reason these people had remained here all this time was because the Blackbeard Pirates had brought them far too much suffering! So they had been watching from the shadows.
And now, the most terrifying thing had happened! That Blackbeard pirate was not dead!
After taking such a terrifying blow and still not dying, all that could be said was that his life was truly absurdly tough!
"Village chief, he... he... isn't dead," Lily said in terror.
"What?!" The village chief and the island residents around him all wore ugly expressions.
Blackbeard Teach being alive meant disaster for their island!
The village chief took the binoculars from Lily and looked toward Blackbeard Teach.
Then, he remained in that watching posture, his body stiff and motionless, as though even his breathing had stopped.
Thinking the village chief had been struck by some sort of spell, Lily anxiously called out.
"Village chief, what's wrong? Village chief, say something!"
It turned out that just as Blackbeard Teach was preparing to stand, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit power Ye Yu had sent into his body along with his Haki awakened.
Unlike Whitebeard's method of unleashing it, Ye Yu's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power could cling to the cells of a human body!
First, the bones inside Blackbeard's body shifted freely under the vibrations, making his entire body look grotesquely distorted.
Then, under the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, the bones inside him shattered into powder. The piercing agony was even more unbearable for Blackbeard, whose pain was already doubled.
His already twisted limbs flailed wildly. His pig-like screams rang across the entire island. Finally, a gust of wind blew past, and Blackbeard's body was shaken into dust, drifting toward the sea on the wind!
Hearing those miserable screams, Lily, who was in the forest, raised her binoculars and looked toward Blackbeard.
Then... she wore the same expression as the village chief, frozen in place without moving.
They had never even heard of such a bizarre method of killing!
At that moment, Lily felt not only fear, but also a trace of shock. That young man who looked so carefree and harmless was actually so ruthless?
Afterward, the island residents ran over and discovered that, aside from Blackbeard, the pirates who had previously burned, killed, and plundered across the island had all been killed by some mysterious force!
Only the deep terror on their faces revealed what they had felt before death!
The village chief swallowed twice. "Good heavens, it's fortunate that young man is a good person. With his methods, he could probably kill everyone on our entire island in a single move!"
Meanwhile, Lily looked in the direction Ye Yu had left, her expression somewhat complicated.
Thus, the Blackbeard Pirates were completely wiped out! Ye Yu's appearance had quietly changed the course of the entire pirate world!
Sailing across the sea, Ye Yu directly opened his system panel. The reward for killing Blackbeard had already arrived!
Opening the reward, he found that killing Blackbeard's group had directly increased his Conqueror's Haki by 300 points. His Conqueror's Haki was now nearly at 5,400 points, and he had also obtained an additional active skill.
Blink: Instantly move from one location to any location within one hundred meters.
Ye Yu nodded in satisfaction. This kind of spatial ability was a godly skill, whether used to pursue enemies or escape!
At the same time, Ye Yu's stomach began to growl.
"Ah, what a miscalculation, what a miscalculation! I brought too little food. I underestimated my appetite!" Ye Yu joked to himself.
He looked around. A few sea fish occasionally leaped from the water nearby, and catching them would not be difficult—a single blast of Conqueror's Haki would knock them unconscious.
But... no matter how powerful he was, he could not lie there and use Conqueror's Haki to cook with his mind, could he?
This lazy Ye Yu would rather starve to death than cook for himself!
After going hungry for an entire night and worrying over what to do, he activated his Search-Search Fruit early the next morning and unexpectedly detected a massive Marine warship sailing two hundred kilometers to the southeast.
"Hahaha! It's a Marine sailing ship! After coming to this world for so many years, I still haven't tasted what Marine food is like!"
"Anyway, I've already completed the mission of killing Blackbeard Teach ahead of schedule, and the announcement of Ace's execution hasn't even been released yet. I might as well spend a few days eating and drinking on a Marine warship. I can leave after I've had my fill!"
