Zoan User

Standing atop the house, Ye Chen looked down at the Death Rhino, appearing somewhat superior.

"Moo"

The earth trembled, the surrounding ground shook, like a rampaging fortress, and the Death Rhino charged wildly toward Ye Chen's house.

In an instant, it fell into ruins, the entire house turning into rubble like tofu.

Ye Chen vanished instantly, reappearing on the ground, ignoring the Death Rhino that turned around from the ruins.

"Savage Charge."

With its eyes slightly red, the Death Rhino's massive body surged forward like a torrent, shaking the earth as it charged rapidly toward Ye Chen.

Those two sharp horns were even gleaming with Armament Haki.

Ye Chen's first thought was that he shouldn't take it head-on; otherwise, being hit directly would definitely hurt him.

In a flash, time seemed to slow down. The Death Rhino slowly ran past Ye Chen, while Ye Chen raised his right leg high behind him, his Armament Haki converging into a single point. In the nick of time, he kicked the Death Rhino in the stomach.

With a huge, muffled thud, a large crater formed in the ground beneath the feet of the man and the beast. In an instant, the Death Rhino flew out like a parabola, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ye Chen, due to the reaction force, was moved sideways, leaving two footprints; moreover, his right foot began to emit smoke and sparks, teetering on the edge of an explosion.

The Death Rhino shook its head, and blood spilled from its mouth, but it did not appear to be seriously injured.

With a grim expression, looking at the Death Rhino that had only coughed up blood, Ye Chen witnessed the defensive power of Zoan for the first time.

Rhinoceroses are known for their thick hides, powerful impacts, and the Death Rhino of today truly lives up to its name.

"Boy, you're nothing special."

With its sharp horns once again covered in Armament Haki, the Death Rhino charged towards Ye Chen.

Seeing the massive creature charging towards him, Ye Chen swiftly kicked out with both feet, the two Rankyaku splitting the ground and slamming heavily into the rhinoceros's head.

As the explosion occurred and smoke filled the air, the Death Rhino showed no signs of discomfort and charged at Ye Chen with even greater ferocity.

Vanished in an instant, the Death Rhino missed its target, and amidst countless collapsing houses, it turned and charged at Ye Chen once more.

This time, however, Ye Chen made the first move.

Appearing out of thin air above the rhinoceros, Ye Chen, his face cold, spun around and stomped heavily on the rhinoceros's back with his right foot.

The explosion sent a Shockwave into the air, cracking the ground and creating countless fissures like shattered mirrors, turning an area of hundreds of meters into a crater.

"Burst!"

A plume of black smoke, followed by a burst of flame.

Soaring into the air, Ye Chen appeared on the ground, his right foot covered in smoke and fire, which vanished in the blink of an eye. He frowned as he stared at the center of the smoke.

"Bang bang"

The ground shook, and the massive figure emerged from the smoke, its face covered in blood, glaring angrily at Ye Chen.

This time, the Death Rhino was in great pain. Blood kept gushing from its eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and its back was a blur, with a large patch of flesh gone, revealing its hideous bones.

"I want you dead."

The blood ignited the Death Rhino's fury, and its speed doubled, charging towards Ye Chen like a cannonball with unstoppable force.

After fighting for so long, Ye Chen roughly understood this guy's weakness.

Besides being thick-skinned and having great impact capabilities, its speed and agility are major weaknesses.

It has high HP, so we can wear it down. If one explosion isn't enough, then we'll try two or three.

With a fierce expression, Ye Chen charged towards the Death Rhino. As they passed each other, Ye Chen punched the rhino in the side, causing an explosion.

"Boom boom boom"

The Shockwave from the explosion sent the rhinoceros flying and caused the already shattered earth to collapse once more.

Ye Chen's right hand disappeared, and he immediately used Shave to catch up with his opponent, kicking the same spot with his right foot again.

A massive explosion occurred, accompanied by continuous booming sounds.

Each time, Ye Chen attacked the same spot, and an explosion would occur. The tearing force caused the Death Rhino excruciating pain, leaving it covered in wounds and scars.

Even with thick skin and high blood volume, it is impossible to maintain normal function after a series of explosions.

Moreover, each of Ye Chen's explosions was enough to move a radius of twenty meters, so you can imagine the destructive power.

This is Zoan; if it were anyone else, they would probably be dead by now.

The smoke and flames never disappeared. After five consecutive explosions, Ye Chen, his face ashen, appeared in the distance, looking at the Death Rhino with its forelegs missing and covered in wounds, and revealed a cold smile.

At this moment, the Death Rhino lay on the ground, the surrounding shattered ground a blood-red mess.

Feeling a sense of retreat, the Death Rhino knew it was no match for its opponent. The opponent was too fast, and each attack produced an explosion. If it continued like this, it would surely die.

Upon regaining its human form, the Death Rhino fled without a second thought.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Once I recover, I'll definitely kill this navy officer.

An afterimage appeared, Ye Chen appeared directly in front of them.

"Puff"

With a muffled groan, the Death Rhino clutched its stomach, knelt on the ground, and its face was contorted with bulging veins.

"Trying to escape?"

Ye Chen, with a look of disdain, withdrew his foot, grabbed the Death Rhino's mane with one hand, and slammed it backward. The ground shook violently as it was smashed back and forth. With blood and flesh flying everywhere, the Death Rhino finally lay dying in the shattered crater.

"Cough cough"

Just then, Ye Chen coughed, and a trace of blood spilled from his mouth. This time, if it weren't for his speed advantage, things might have really gotten difficult.

The defensive and regenerative abilities of Zoan are truly formidable.

"You're dead, kid! I'm a member of the Flying Pirates!"

"Click"

With the sound of bones breaking, Ye Chen appeared beside the Death Rhino and stomped on its neck, snapping it.

Looking at the lifeless Death Rhino with its neck crooked, Ye Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Still talking when you're about to die."

After the battle ended, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt excruciating pain all over his body. During the battle, he had ignored the aftereffects of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, and now that he was relaxed, the feeling of being pricked by a thousand needles made Ye Chen's face turn unnaturally pale.

Rear Admiral

At this moment, the two marines who had long since moved away from the battle zone stepped forward shakily. They stared wide-eyed at the Death Rhino lying in the crater, covered in wounds and lifeless, their faces filled with disbelief.

Keep in mind, this was the captain of the Rhino Pirates, with a bounty of 95 million Beli. He had killed countless Rear Admiral and Marines in the past, and now he had been killed by Rear Admiral.

"Take care of it; this pirate's head seems to be quite valuable."

Soaked to the bone, with blood and sweat mixed together, Ye Chen felt somewhat uncomfortable. Seeing the two navy men arrive, he gave them an order.

Yes, yes.

The two sailors stood up straight and gave a salute.

Ye Chen was completely unaware that there were still Rhino Pirates had escaped the net and had already reported what had happened here to their superiors.

The death of the Death Rhino also shocked some slave owners who had been watching from afar and hoping for Ye Chen's death.

They never expected this young Marine Rear Admiral to be so powerful, capable of even killing Death Rhino! It seems they'll have to tone it down a bit in the future.
