Sakazuki looked deeply suspicious.
"Who the hell is this brat who doesn't know his place? Bear! Speak! What have you been doing behind the Marines' backs?!" Sakazuki roared at Tyrant Bear.
Tyrant Bear was utterly bewildered.
He truly had never been of one mind with the Marines. He had joined the Seven Warlords only to make things more convenient for the Revolutionary Army.
But... he didn't remember anyone in the Revolutionary Army who looked like such a slacker. Could he be Sabo's friend?
Sentomaru, standing nearby, revealed a shocked expression.
"I know who this guy is. He's... Ye Yu, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Zero Division! We recently received news that this guy beheaded Jack the Drought!"
Sakazuki suddenly remembered that he had indeed heard that report in the Fleet Admiral's office today. However, since the main report had concerned the great battle, he had not paid much attention to it at the time.
He had not expected to encounter the recently famous Ye Yu so soon.
But killing a mere Jack the Drought was not enough for Akainu to take Ye Yu seriously. To him, even Ye Yu's captain, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, was nothing more than pirate trash!
Akainu clenched his fists as magma coated them. The air around him grew scorching hot from his molten body.
"So I was wondering who it was. Just one of Whitebeard's dogs. What kind of impressive subordinate could some remnant of the old era possibly have? Hahaha!" Akainu sneered at Ye Yu.
Tyrant Bear slowly spoke to Ye Yu as well. "I don't think I know you, Ye Yu."
"That's right, you don't know me. I came here to ask you for a favor: send me somewhere," Ye Yu said flatly.
"But it seems Sakazuki is holding handcuffs and wants to arrest you. To let you use your ability normally, and as repayment..."
"How about this? I'll kill Sakazuki. That's the simplest solution!"
Ye Yu spoke indifferently, completely ignoring Akainu, as though killing Admiral Akainu would be as easy as slaughtering a chick.
Those words made everyone present gape in disbelief.
Did this brat truly have the strength, or was he merely good at talking big?
He wanted to kill Admiral Akainu?
Even one of the Four Emperors could not kill Sakazuki so easily!
Tyrant Bear said nothing, tacitly accepting Ye Yu's proposal. He was already someone who would soon be modified and lose his consciousness. Before bidding this world farewell, he truly wanted to see whether a young brat under twenty could really kill Admiral Akainu.
Jewelry Bonney, the gluttonous woman, widened her eyes, surprise filling her beautiful gaze.
"Kill an admiral? Does a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates really have the strength to kill an admiral?"
Countless gazes gathered on Ye Yu. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Yu slightly raised his head. His emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he still looked utterly carefree.
Akainu's eyes grew grave. His teeth trembled with rage, veins bulged on his forehead, and he stared coldly at Ye Yu.
"The world really has changed. Mice no longer run when they see cats! I, Akainu, will set this garbage world right!"
"Great Eruption!" Akainu roared with all his might.
Without another word, Sakazuki hurled his magma-covered fist at Ye Yu. Scorching heat engulfed the surroundings as a massive fist of magma charged straight at him.
Sentomaru also activated his Armament Haki. The pitch-black Haki wrapped around his enormous battle axe, gleaming like black jade.
"This great me won't forgive a loudmouth like you!" With that, Sentomaru swung his Armament Haki-coated axe down hard at Ye Yu's head!
Watching their attacks, Ye Yu yawned. There was no need to dodge at all!
In the forest, Jewelry Bonney widened her eyes and kept shaking her head.
"Looks like this brat is just a big talker. He's standing there without moving. Did he get scared stupid?"
"What a boring fight!"
"As expected, when faced with admiral-level combat power, running away is the best choice," Bonney muttered.
Tyrant Bear, however, had lost his usual calm expression, as though he had foreseen something.
Just as Bonney was preparing to flee, what happened next shocked everyone.
Wherever the magma fist passed, the air itself seemed to burn, turning the entire sky a blazing red.
As the terrifying energy was about to reach Ye Yu, he merely raised a hand.
The unstoppable magma fist from moments ago was bizarrely absorbed into Ye Yu's body, vanishing without a trace.
Then came Sentomaru's second attack, cleaving down at Ye Yu. The heavy strike howled past Ye Yu's ear!
Under the fierce wind pressure, branches and dust beneath Ye Yu's feet were sent flying.
Sentomaru was confident that even a diamond drill would be chopped in half beneath his black axe!
Ye Yu did not even glance at Sentomaru. The Conqueror's Haki Barrier activated automatically.
Sentomaru only felt as though his attack had struck an enormous, immovable beast. The powerful recoil instantly left his arms numb.
To his shock, Sentomaru discovered that his massive axe, capable of cutting through all things in the world, had shattered into fragments upon impact.
An invisible barrier appeared, ripples spreading outward.
"What kind of terrifying ability is this?" Sentomaru swallowed hard and said in utter shock.
Without giving Sentomaru much time to think, the invisible force seemed to explode in the next instant, abruptly expanding as an overwhelming power erupted.
Feeling that force, Sentomaru's pupils dilated. His mouth fell open, his lips trembling. "I can't dodge it. I can't dodge it at all!"
The next moment, there was a deafening boom!
Sentomaru's fat body flew through the air in an arc before crashing heavily into the forest. The surrounding ground cracked apart, and a huge crater was smashed into the earth.
His legs pointed upward while his head was buried underground, like a plant driven deep into the soil.
Sentomaru, captain of the World Science Unit and the man who claimed to possess the greatest defense in the world, was knocked unconscious by Ye Yu in a single strike!
Bonney, the gluttonous woman nearby, had shock and terror filling her bright eyes.
She focused her gaze on Ye Yu again. What kind of joke was this?
By himself, he had actually neutralized the attacks of both Admiral Sakazuki and that watermelon-head?
She had just witnessed Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit. That freakish energy was something she felt she could not withstand even once!
Yet that carefree young man before her had simply absorbed it?
What kind of strange ability was that?!
And one strike!
Just one strike had taken care of that watermelon-head!
It was a complete instant kill!!!
Though that watermelon-head looked strange in both clothing and appearance, Bonney knew very well that she had just seen him beat Luffy, the second-highest bounty among the Supernovas, until he could not fight back at all!
Especially his long-range attacks and monstrous defense—calling him an impenetrable wall would not be an exaggeration!
Yet Ye Yu had effortlessly killed him in an instant. It was simply too unbelievable!
"Is this young man a monster? Are all the people from the New World this terrifying?!" Bonney's long eyelashes trembled involuntarily as she exclaimed.
