Beheading Jack the Drought!

"Jack the Drought seemed to be laughing wildly. Ye Yu still hadn't made a move. Could it be that he didn't dare kill him?" Kuritz asked Morgans.

Aboard the birdhouse suspended beneath a hot-air balloon, Morgans wore a serious expression.

"Killing Jack the Drought... that would mean the arrival of the War of the Two Emperors. It's understandable that Ye Yu isn't willing to act."

"But that would be far too boring. The value of this news would also be greatly reduced!" Morgans said regretfully, shaking his head.

Just as Morgans shook his head helplessly with a disappointed look, Kuritz suddenly widened his eyes while peering through his telescope. His lips trembled with excitement. "Ye Yu... Ye Yu... is making his move!"

"He's making a move?" Morgans, who had just looked regretful, instantly became interested again. He hurriedly aimed his camera at Ye Yu, his face full of anticipation.

On the battlefield!

"Oh, you should be done talking by now, right? If you don't have any last words, I'll make my move." Ye Yu looked at Jack and spoke calmly.

The title of one of the Four Emperors meant nothing to Ye Yu. As for Kaido, who was known as the strongest creature in the world, Ye Yu did not care about him at all. If Kaido had the guts, he could come himself.

The only thing Ye Yu was somewhat worried about was that it would be troublesome... when the time came, he would have to deal with Kaido personally again.

"Y-You... what did you say?" Jack the Drought could not believe his ears. His gaze fixed on Ye Yu as he asked in disbelief.

"Did you not understand what I meant? Do you want to start a war? Do you want Kaido of the Beast Pirates to kill you, brat?" Jack the Drought continued to warn him.

Ye Yu merely picked at his ear with a finger, completely unconcerned.

"You talk too much, Jack. If Kaido of the Beast Pirates dares to come, then let him come."

"I don't mind if this world has one less of the Four Emperors!" Ye Yu remained expressionless. Even upon hearing Kaido's name, his face did not ripple in the slightest.

Buzz...

Jack the Drought felt his mind buzzing.

He didn't mind if this world had one less of the Four Emperors???

His boss was Kaido of the Beast Pirates, after all. Kaido possessed monstrous defenses. He had once single-handedly fought the other pirate Four Emperors and Marine Headquarters, been captured eighteen times, and endured every kind of execution, yet none of it had worked! Instead, Kaido of the Beast Pirates had sunk nine enormous prison ships!

He had suffered defeat seven times in his life, yet not a single person had ever been able to kill Kaido, the strongest creature in the world!

And this brat in front of him was casually saying that he would make his boss disappear from this world? What a joke!

It looked like this brat still did not understand the terror of the Four Emperors!

Even if you were the captain of Zero Division, you would still have to submit before a monster on the level of the Four Emperors!

"Brat, you're too arrogant! Boss Kaido will never forgive you! Kill me, and you can wait for the endless fury of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!" Jack the Drought continued to roar.

Even at death... he was still threatening me.

A disdainful curve appeared on Ye Yu's lips as Conqueror's Haki surged from within him and filled the sky.

Under the force of his imagination, the Conqueror's Haki in the sky condensed into the shape of a shotel blade.

Jack the Drought's dead-fish eyes opened wide, his mouth hanging open in utter astonishment.

Conqueror's Haki had actually transformed into a weapon? And it could be seen with the naked eye!

He activated his Observation Haki to sense it. There was no mistake—the shotel blade in the sky had truly been condensed from Conqueror's Haki!

Conqueror's Haki had become a shotel blade through imagination alone?!

This brat's Conqueror's Haki was actually this powerful?

High in the sky, Morgans naturally captured the shotel blade through his camera.

Morgans's eyes were filled with shock. "What kind of strange ability is that?"

Kuritz was equally excited. "Say, President Morgans, do you think that could be this brat's Conqueror's Haki..."

Morgans was shocked once more upon hearing that.

Conqueror's Haki?

According to the earlier reports of Ye Yu annihilating the Blackbeard Pirates, Ye Yu truly was an expert at using Conqueror's Haki.

However... for Conqueror's Haki to take the form of a weapon and be visible with the naked eye without using Observation Haki... just how dense did that Conqueror's Haki have to be!

Morgans narrowed his eyes in shock. "That's hard to say. Brothers, film everything! Don't miss a single detail! Once we're done, professionals will definitely be able to determine what kind of attack this brat used!"

"Yes, Lord Morgans!" the surrounding reporters answered. It was clear that every one of them was brimming with motivation!

Once this explosive news was successfully published, a conservative estimate put each of their bonuses at nearly a hundred million Berries!

Boom!

Without giving Jack the Drought time to react, the shotel blade condensed from Conqueror's Haki in the sky came crashing down toward his head.

The fierce slash descended from the sky. Before the attack even arrived, a powerful aura, like a surging sea, had already rushed at him first.

Jack the Drought, lying on the deck and barely clinging to life, locked his eyes on the strike above his head. His eyes widened in terror.

Jack the Drought used the last bit of his strength to activate his Armament Haki for defense. His lips trembled slightly. "W-What kind of joke is this? Just its aura is already this overwhelming? What a powerful attack!"

The shotel blade formed from Conqueror's Haki rapidly enlarged in Jack the Drought's pupils, reaching his head in an instant.

His Armament Haki-covered head was as soft as tofu before Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki slash. In an instant, a head with a metal jaw flew into the air, blood spraying through the sky.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that the expression on that head was still frozen in that instant of terror.

After rolling around on the deck, Jack the Drought's head finally fell into the sea, swallowed by the ocean in an instant and vanishing without a trace.

Jack the Drought, once one of the three Calamities beneath Kaido of the Beast Pirates, with a bounty as high as one billion and a reputation for leaving not a blade of grass wherever he went, had met his end!

The sea wind blew wildly as the entire ocean began to boil. Violent waves continuously slammed against Ye Yu's warship, as though the entire vessel had begun to tremble.

Morgans, standing aboard the warship, wore an expression of complete shock as he stood there blankly.

Inside the birdhouse, the air seemed to have frozen. The atmosphere was silent to the extreme.

After a long while, President Morgans's lips trembled.

"H-He's dead... Jack the Drought, whom no one in the New World dared provoke... was directly beheaded by Ye Yu!" Morgans's face was full of disbelief.

"Ye Yu... the captain of Zero Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, actually killed Jack the Drought of the Beast Pirates?" Kuritz was also shocked beyond words.
