With a deafening boom, Blackbeard was blasted into the sky, then fell straight to the ground like a kite with its string cut.
His blood-streaked teeth fell with him.
Blackbeard crashed into the ground, his face filled with terror. His features had been warped by the shockwaves, blood streaming continuously from his mouth, and not a single part of his body remained intact.
His clothes had been blasted to tatters, blood covered him everywhere, and only four of his fingers remained. His ring, pistol, and wine at his waist had long since been blown 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 disgusted.
He was nothing more than a petty 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 upon hearing this. This was wonderful news for them. That Blackbeard pirate had killed many of the island's residents! Their revenge had finally been taken!
The village chief snatched the binoculars from her hands. When he saw Blackbeard's miserable state, his mouth dropped open in shock as he swallowed hard twice.
"I... I never imagined that such a powerful pirate would be so utterly helpless before that young man!"
At the scene, Ye Yu walked over to the dying Blackbeard, a faint curve lifting at the corner of his mouth.
"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 and left. Given his trouble-averse personality, killing the enemy and completing the mission would normally have been enough. But when facing Blackbeard, the character he hated most in One Piece—
Ye Yu still put some thought into it. On top of his Almighty Push, he had mixed in the energy of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. When his Conqueror's Haki erupted, it followed that force directly into Blackbeard's body.
As for Blackbeard's useless subordinates, whom he had knocked unconscious with his Conqueror's Haki, Ye Yu killed them all with Conqueror's Haki in the quickest way possible before leaving!
Back on his small boat, he once again used his Haki to steer it forward.
"What a miscalculation. I should have brought someone to row," Ye Yu said helplessly.
Although using Conqueror's Haki to row the boat was nothing to Ye Yu, it was simply too troublesome. Wouldn't it be far 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 battered 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 his attack. Zehahaha!"
Lily, who had remained in the forest to observe the battlefield because she was too afraid of the pirates to approach recklessly, was so startled that she nearly screamed.
The reason these people had stayed here all this time was because the Blackbeard Pirates had brought them far too much suffering before! So they had kept watching from the shadows.
In the end, the most terrible thing had still happened! That Blackbeard pirate had not died!
After taking such a terrifying attack and still not dying, all anyone could say was that his life was unbelievably tough!
"Village Chief, he... he... isn't dead," Lily said in terror.
"What?!" The village chief and the island residents around him all revealed grim expressions.
Blackbeard Teach surviving meant disaster for their island!
The village chief took the binoculars from Lily and looked in Blackbeard Teach's direction.
Then the village chief froze in that viewing posture, his body stiff and motionless, as if even his breathing had stopped.
Lily thought the village chief had been possessed by something and anxiously spoke up.
"Village Chief, what's wrong? Village Chief, say something!"
It turned out that just as Blackbeard Teach was about to stand up, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit power Ye Yu had sent into Blackbeard's body along with his Haki awakened.
Unlike Whitebeard's method of releasing it, Ye Yu's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power could cling to the cells within a human body!
First, Blackbeard's bones began shifting freely under the vibrations, making his entire body look grotesquely distorted.
Then, under the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, the bones inside his body shattered into powder. The piercing agony was even harder for Blackbeard to endure, since he already felt pain twice as intensely.
His already deformed limbs kicked wildly, and his pig-slaughtering screams resounded across the entire island. Finally, as a gust of wind passed, Blackbeard's body was vibrated into dust and scattered toward the sea!
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, standing there completely still.
They had never even heard of such a bizarre way of killing someone!
Aside from terror, Lily also felt a trace of shock. That young man who looked so carefree and harmless was actually so ruthless when he struck?
Afterward, the island residents ran over and discovered that aside from Blackbeard, those pirates who had previously burned, killed, and plundered across the island had all been killed by a mysterious force!
The only thing visible from their expressions was the profound terror they had felt before death!
The village chief swallowed hard twice. "Good heavens, it's fortunate that young man is a good person. With his methods, he could probably wipe out everyone on our island with a single move!"
Meanwhile, Lily looked in the direction Ye Yu had left, her expression somewhat complicated.
Thus, the Blackbeard Pirates were completely annihilated! Ye Yu's appearance had quietly changed the course of the entire pirate world!
Aboard his boat on the sea, Ye Yu directly opened his system panel. The reward for killing Blackbeard had already arrived!
After opening the reward, sure enough, 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 gained an additional active skill.
Blink: Instantly move from one location to any location within one hundred meters.
Ye Yu nodded in satisfaction. A spatial skill like this was divine whether used to pursue enemies or escape!
At the same time, Ye Yu's stomach began to rumble.
"Ah, what a miscalculation, what a miscalculation! I brought too little food. I underestimated my appetite!" Ye Yu joked.
He looked around. A few sea fish occasionally leaped out nearby, and catching them would not be difficult. One blast of Conqueror's Haki would knock them out.
But... no matter how powerful he was, he could not lie there and use Conqueror's Haki to cook with his mind, could he?
As lazy as Ye Yu was, even if he starved to death, he would never cook for himself!
After going hungry for an entire night and worrying over what to do, Ye Yu activated his Search-Search Fruit early the next morning and unexpectedly found a massive Marine warship sailing two hundred kilometers to the southeast.
"Hahaha! It's a Marine ship! After coming to this world for so many years, I still haven't tasted what Marine food is like!"
"Since I've already completed the mission of killing Blackbeard Teach ahead of time, and the announcement of Ace's execution hasn't even been issued yet, I might as well spend a few days eating and drinking on a Marine warship. I can leave after I've eaten and drunk my fill!"
