Blackbeard's thick palm had somehow begun to emit waves of black mist, his face brimming with undisguised arrogance and conceit.
Doc Q, Burgess, Van Augur, and the others also drew their weapons, glaring at Ye Yu with hostile eyes, eager to make a move. The Blackbeard Pirates would never fight you one-on-one!
In the shortest possible time, even if they had to cast aside their dignity and use any means necessary, they would kill whoever they wanted dead. That was the defining trait of the Blackbeard Pirates, and the reason they had been able to grow so powerful!
"Kid, it's not too late to regret this. Since you're the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Zero Division, join me. I'll give you a position. How about it?" Even at a time like this, the shrewd Blackbeard did not forget to poach from Whitebeard and strengthen his own forces.
Ye Yu responded by giving Blackbeard a look as though he were an idiot.
"You're just an ungrateful, pathetically weak bastard... You're not worthy of having me join you." Ye Yu showed him no mercy, speaking with utter contempt.
In Ye Yu's eyes, someone like Blackbeard, who could abandon even his dignity for victory, would never become the strongest!
The strongest never retreated before an enemy! Charging forward without ever backing down was the creed upheld by the strong!
Having said that, Ye Yu directly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.
"Trash, stop getting in my way. You're too troublesome!" Ye Yu said disdainfully.
Then, as if it had sensed something terrifying, the air around them began to tremble!
Centered on Ye Yu, a powerful wave of energy instantly swept out in all directions. In the blink of an eye, it was as though a Category 10 hurricane had erupted inside the entire villa!
The table Blackbeard had just been using to eat, along with every object inside the villa, was sent flying in an instant!
In the end, even the entire villa could not withstand such terrifying power. It was blown straight to the ground by the raging wind, shattered into chunks of rubble, and scattered away with the gale!
The overwhelming force left the Blackbeard Pirates with no time to react. Every one of them wore blank, astonished expressions.
This kind of terrifying destructive power... had to be a joke, right?
Before they had time to wonder any further, the sensation of being enveloped by Conqueror's Haki struck them the next instant.
Burgess, Lafitte, Van Augur, and the others felt a terrifying power invade their hearts. All that remained was overwhelming fear, a shudder rising from the deepest depths of their souls!
Their bodies stiffened, while their lips trembled nonstop. Beads of sweat the size of peas ran down their cheeks. At that moment, all their focus was spent trying to keep themselves from collapsing. They had no mind left to think about attacking the kid before them!
Seeing their strange expressions, as if they were severely constipated, Ye Yu could not help but laugh.
"To keep you from suffering so much, I suppose I should increase the pressure a little, hehe!" Ye Yu's lips curved into a slight smile.
Everyone's expressions became even uglier. They looked more miserable than if they had eaten shit. This still was not his maximum power?
The vast Conqueror's Haki grew denser, and the power it brought became even more terrifying!
Doc Q's lips twitched as he spoke with difficulty. "Th-this... is... Conqueror's Haki? So... so terrifying!"
Boom! Dust billowed into the air.
At last, Doc Q was the first to lose consciousness, collapsing to the ground!
Blackbeard was completely dumbfounded and screamed at Doc Q.
"Doc Q, get up! Get up! Doc Q! Are you kidding me? Conqueror's Haki knocked one of my captains unconscious?"
Even Whitebeard, the world's strongest man, would not dare guarantee that he could knock out someone at Doc Q's level using Conqueror's Haki alone!
Yet the next moment, sweetness surged up Van Augur's throat, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. His face twitched as he said, "A mere young man... actually possesses such powerful Conqueror's Haki?"
After saying that, he collapsed as well.
Blackbeard's eyes widened. Everything before him felt so unreal.
It was one thing for Doc Q to collapse. That guy was sickly all day long, and his physical condition had always been poor. But how could even the ever-calm Van Augur fail to endure it?
This was the first time he had ever encountered someone who could inflict such terrifying damage with Conqueror's Haki alone!
"Not bad, not bad. The Blackbeard Pirates are stronger than I imagined. Looks like there's no need for me to hold back." Ye Yu spoke slowly with a smile on his face.
But to Blackbeard Teach... that smile was utterly terrifying.
Blackbeard locked his eyes tightly on Ye Yu, who appeared completely incapable of fighting, his face full of seriousness.
Buzz!
Wave after wave of Conqueror's Haki shockwaves radiated from Ye Yu, constantly battering the surroundings. The entire island began to tremble because of Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki.
Those near the shockwaves, the members of the Blackbeard Pirates, were filled with terror.
Even Blackbeard broke out in cold sweat, his palm trembling uncontrollably.
This has to be a joke, right? A strong man like me, Blackbeard, is actually being affected by Conqueror's Haki and trembling? Blackbeard stared blankly at his shaking hands, his face filled with disbelief!
Boom! Boom! ...
After Ye Yu unleashed his Haki without holding anything back, Blackbeard's subordinates, including even the physically powerful Burgess, collapsed to the ground unconscious one after another!
If one looked carefully, Burgess and the others had worn expressions of doubt and terror just before passing out.
At last, the Conqueror's Haki subsided, while Ye Yu remained as calm and composed as ever.
He looked at Blackbeard's subordinates, whom Blackbeard had been so proud of, lying unconscious all over the ground, then yawned.
"Now that those annoying pieces of trash have been cleared out, only you are left, Blackbeard Teach!" Ye Yu looked down at Blackbeard Teach and said coldly.
At the same time, the villagers of Robina Island had gathered in the forest about one kilometer away from where Ye Yu and Blackbeard were fighting.
Village chief Rona stood in the woods one kilometer east of the battlefield, holding binoculars and observing every movement of the battle. Beside him stood a beautiful blonde woman—Lily, the woman who had previously warned Ye Yu not to eat the Exploding Apple.
"Lily, at first I didn't believe anyone could stand against Blackbeard and those pirates, but... but now I believe it! That man... is... is so powerful!" Village chief Rona had just arrived in time to see Ye Yu knock out all of Blackbeard's subordinates, and he spoke with immense shock.
No matter what, he could never have believed that Ye Yu, such an ordinary-looking young man, could take down those vicious pirates.
The village chief handed the binoculars to Lily. After looking through them, Lily's mouth fell open as she confirmed that those vicious pirates really had been knocked unconscious.
Her red lips trembled slightly as she said excitedly, "He... he really did it!"
"By himself, he took down those powerful pirates!"
