Deprivation Failed, Ye Chen's Fury

The smoke of battle billowed, chaos reigned, and the unrest lingered for a long time.

The destroyed island, like duckweed on the water, slowly sank in the undulating waves.

Within a fragment of an island, scorching heat and flames Burning the ground, and amidst the thick black smoke, a figure slowly stepped out.

Ye Chen's body gradually recovered on one side, except for blood at the corner of his mouth and a somewhat pale face.

A violent wind blew from his tattered body. With his Observation Haki, he slowly levitated and flew towards another island.

His long hair flew wildly, landing on the ground. Ye Chen calmly looked at Marco, who was covered in blood, amidst the rubble. He bent down, grabbed him by the throat, and lifted him up.

At this moment, although Marco's body had fully recovered, he had suffered too many injuries, leaving him exhausted. His eyes were bloodshot, and he could only let Ye Chen choke him.

"You"

The pungent smell of blood filled Marco's face. His opponent was stronger than he had imagined, and the domineering attack from the start left him unable to hold his own.

"It seems the Phoenix truly immortal after all; has it run out of energy?"

The smoke of gunpowder reignited in Ye Chen's right eye. He looked at Marco and frowned slightly.

"You don't want to make Pops angry."

Blood dripped continuously from his mouth. Marco looked weakly at Ye Chen, his breath barely audible.

"I don't care who gets angry or not, I only care that your ability can save Sakura, that's enough."

Ye Chen glanced indifferently at Marco, then took to the air. At the same time, a flash of lightning appeared beside Ye Chen, and Enel looked at the miserable Marco with a heavy heart.

In the past two years, he had fought Marco before, and he was very clear about Marco's strength. However, such great strength was suppressed by the boss from the very beginning, and he had no power to resist.

This overwhelming fighting power made Enel feel that the distance he had narrowed suddenly became vast again.

How much stronger has BSS become in the last two years?

"To utterly destroy this place."

Ye Chen glanced at Enel, and then, beneath his feet, the atmosphere exploded out of thin air, creating a powerful force that caused Ye Chen to vanish in an arc.

In mid-air, Enel paused for a moment, then thrust his right hand into the air, his body crackling with electricity. Dark clouds rolled across the sky, and endless lightning crashed down.

The rampant violence and destruction were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The entire island, even its fragments, vanished completely. Then, with a flash of lightning, Enel disappeared from the spot.

In Caesar's research lab in the country, Ye Chen brought Marco there as soon as he returned.

"Boss, so fast?"

When Caesar saw Marco being carried in Ye Chen's hand, Caesar was stunned. This guy hadn't even been out for a while!

"Deprivation!"

Looking rather disheveled, Ye Chen didn't even have time to clean himself up; all he wanted was to quickly strip the Phoenix Fruit and get the guy better.

"Yes!"

Although Ye Chen's expression was calm, Caesar could sense his anxiety, so he nodded and went directly to the place where he was stripped of his possessions.

It was the same place, but this time, Ye Chen stood outside the glass window, filled with tension.

"It must succeed, it absolutely must."

Clenching his fist, Ye Chen looked forward to it. Ye Chen hadn't been this nervous when he was taking away the Float-Float Fruit.

"What do you want to do?!"

In the deprivation chamber, Marco was bound, forcibly given poison, and then locked in a sealed box made of Seastone.

His intuition told him that he was in trouble this time.

However, none of the scientists in the deprivation room paid him any attention; they were all going through the motions with practiced ease.

"Marco the Phoenix, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, hah!"

Caesar, who had personally taken action, glanced at Marco and then closed the box, whether out of irony or relief.

"Wrap it in black cloth."

With everything prepared, all that's left is to wait.

One minute, ten minutes—this time, it was even slower than I expected.

Deprived of his outdoor surroundings, Ye Chen grew increasingly anxious.

Perhaps due to Marco's Devil Fruit, Caesar's poison took effect rather slowly, and it took a full three hours for the life points in the instrument to completely disappear.

"Quick, open it!"

On the computer-like screen, Caesar saw the red dot disappear and quickly called out to it.

Outside, Ye Chen couldn't help but take a step closer, almost touching the glass, his eyes fixed on the black cloth.

"We must succeed! We absolutely must!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his heart pounding abnormally fast.

And Caesar inside was also praying.

Lifting the black cloth and opening the Seastone box, Caesar's expression gradually stiffened as he looked inside, because none of the fruits contained the strange pattern they were looking for.

"BS, it failed."

Tears welled up in my eyes, but I had no chance to cry. It seemed my luck had run out; this time, the attempt to strip them of their power had failed.

"Bang!"

The special glass wall outside shattered into pieces. Ye Chen's grim face startled everyone.

Unnaturally, the scientists in the deprivation room began to tremble, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

"You bastard!"

Enraged beyond measure, Ye Chen's eyes turned red, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, roaring wildly like a demon.

Heads were bowed low, no one dared to look up, all were terrified, even Caesar.

"Notify Rob Lucci, activate all your abilities and find the Phoenix Fruit."

"Yes, yes!"

Caesar kept swallowing.

His chest heaved violently, Ye Chen gradually calmed down, his figure fading away and disappearing from the research lab.

Leaving the research lab, Ye Chen appeared in the Imperial City's back garden and eagerly entered Sakura's room, where a maid was taking care of her.

"Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing Ye Chen appear, everyone bowed respectfully.

"How is the princess?!"

Kneeling by the bed, Ye Chen looked at the guy covered by the blanket, breathing normally, only his face was a little red. Even though he knew the guy was fine, Ye Chen subconsciously asked the maid next to him.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the princess's fever has subsided, but she is still a little weak and needs some sleep."

"That's good, that's good. You can all go out now! I can manage here by myself."

Completely relieved, Ye Chen carefully held that cold hand, looking at the sickly face, his heart filled with anguish.

"Your Majesty, you should go and take a shower!"

Quite bold, the maid beside Ye Chen, seeing that he looked travel-worn and somewhat tired, couldn't help but chime in with a comment.

"I'll wait a while."

Not caring at all, Ye Chen didn't even turn his head, just staring at the guy. He didn't want to leave for even a second.

Seeing him up close would be fine, but if he didn't see him, Ye Chen would start overthinking. As could be seen from his fight with Marco, Ye Chen held nothing back and forcibly suppressed him, precisely because he was afraid that something might happen to the guy and he wouldn't be there to help.

"Then we'll wait outside. Your Majesty, please summon us if you need anything."

Helpless, the maid in the room slowly retreated out.

Seeing that everyone had left, Ye Chen's eyes widened slightly, and a wave of energy swept across the entire Imperial City. At the same time, Ye Chen's voice rang in the ears of Reiju, who was handling government affairs.

"Call everyone back."

Now that Marco has been captured, Whitebeard will surely be furious. Just in case, Ye Chen still plans to summon everyone back.

World's Strongest Man, and that's not all.

"Yes!"

Reiju, who was handling government affairs, was slightly taken aback, then nodded out of thin air.
