Unexpectedly Winning Over Shakky

Chapter 22: Unexpectedly Winning Over Shakky

"Sea Abyss: Water Dragon!!"

As Li Yuan brought his longsword down, the water dragon crashed down with the force of endless ocean whirlwinds, striking the Tiger Mask Man like the wrath of heaven.

"No!!!!!"

The Tiger Mask Man watched helplessly as that terrifying Sea Tornado slash descended. All he could do was use Geppo to stay airborne and unleash his full strength to keep himself from falling into the sea.

However, all of the Tiger Mask Man's struggles had been futile. The moment he used Soru to rush at Li Yuan and attack him—

Li Yuan had already calculated everything and prepared the Great Sea as his grave.

"Rumble!!!!"

The Tiger Mask Man was cleaved into the sea by a single slash, sending up enormous waves.

The instant he touched the seawater, his tiger-like body shrank completely and returned to human form. Powerless, he lay in the sea as it swallowed him and dragged his body ever deeper.

"Splash!!"

"Sea Walk!!"

Li Yuan did not assume the Tiger Mask Man was doomed just because he had fallen into the sea. Instead, he rushed into the water and found him.

"Slash!!!"

Without another word, he severed the man's throat with one strike. Only after ending his life completely did he return to Suoluo Island's Port with peace of mind.

From the moment the Tiger Mask Man attacked Li Yuan to Li Yuan diving into the sea to kill him and returning to the Port, the entire process took less than thirty seconds.

The CP Members at the Port who had not been knocked unconscious by Li Yuan's Conqueror's Haki had only just begun preparing to rush at Shakky and capture her when they discovered that Li Yuan had already reappeared at the Port!

"How is that possible!!!"

Li Yuan's appearance stunned not only the CP Members, but even Shakky was Shocked by his speed.

After all, CP1 Tiger's strength was at least on the level of a Rear Admiral. In terms of physical recovery alone, he was even comparable to a Vice Admiral. Yet Li Yuan had dealt with him so easily?

"Kill!!!"

Li Yuan paid no attention to the others' gazes. With a casual wave of his hand, he sent out several slashes, each an enormous fifty meters long, sweeping across the area.

Those CP Members who did not even possess Rear Admiral-level strength were harvested like wheat by the slashes. Not even the CP agents lying unconscious on the ground were spared; every last one of them was killed.

"Shakky, intelligence agent of the Rocks Pirates. Your identity should be correct, right?"

After sheathing his sword, Li Yuan stared at Shakky and asked.

At the same time, his previously swollen limbs shrank back to normal. However, the pain of his torn muscles made him somewhat uncomfortable.

But as the Sword God Body Tempering Technique circulated on its own, his aching muscles rapidly recovered. Within only a few breaths, the swelling pain was gone.

"Y-Yes, no problem!!"

Stared at by Li Yuan like that, even Shakky, with her years of training as an intelligence agent, could not help feeling nervous.

The impression Li Yuan had just left on her was simply too profound. For the moment, she had yet to regain her composure.

"Then let's go. This isn't a good place to stay for long."

After confirming her identity once more, Li Yuan instantly appeared beside Shakky. Before she could react, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.

"Geppo!!"

He then carried her through the air with Geppo, flying over the sea toward the Sword God Pirate Ship.

"What are you doing? Let me go!!"

Shakky grew angry at the sudden embrace. Did this man intend to take her body?

She had considered giving him a reward, but she had never thought of offering herself to him. Even if Li Yuan was quite to her taste and possessed tremendous strength.

"Look below. Are you sure you want me to let go?"

Li Yuan teased as he looked at Shakky in his arms.

"..."

Shakky lowered her head and looked down, only to discover that beneath her was the sea. At once, her hands instinctively wrapped around Li Yuan to keep herself from falling.

"The CP Members are dead, so Suoluo Island isn't a place we can remain. We should leave quickly. Otherwise, who knows whether the World Government has other people nearby waiting to ambush you?"

Li Yuan was very satisfied with Shakky's reaction, so he deliberately explained.

However, Shakky was not paying attention to what Li Yuan was saying. Instead, as she sensed the scorching heat radiating from his body—

Her face immediately flushed crimson. Heat continuously surged from within her body, making her burn with restless agitation.

Damn it, the side effects are kicking in!

Shakky cursed inwardly. Earlier in the forest, in order to avoid being poisoned—

She had taken a pill with side effects. Now, Li Yuan's presence had triggered those side effects.

"What's wrong with you? Your body is so hot."

Noticing Shakky's abnormality, Li Yuan asked in confusion.

Shakky said nothing. Instead, she removed the Fox Mask from her face and threw it into the sea.

Li Yuan finally saw Shakky's true appearance: a breathtakingly beautiful face, youthful yet carrying a seductive charm.

From head to toe, she was tall and slender, her soft lines outlining perfect curves.

The subtle rise and taper of her figure formed a flawless silhouette, while the corners of her eyes tilted slightly upward in a faint, graceful curve.

Her lightly made-up lips were as soft as cherry blossoms. An airy elegance lingered about her, drawing admiration without effort.

This seductive woman seemed like the wind itself. Even the gentlest touch could stir violent waves.

It could be said that, aside from Lazuli, she was the most beautiful woman Li Yuan had ever seen in his life.

"Mmph!!!!"

To Li Yuan's astonishment, Shakky's alluring red lips pressed against his.

Although he did not know why she was being so proactive, Li Yuan, who had kept himself pure for sixteen years, found his youthful passion completely ignited by Shakky.

Shakky had taken the initiative at first, but in the next moment, it became a battle between the two of them.

Above the vast and surging sea, the man and woman kissed passionately as though deeply in love.

And the Geppo beneath Li Yuan's feet never stopped, carrying them at even greater speed toward the Limitless Pirates.

Once they arrived aboard the Limitless Pirates' ship, Li Yuan carried Shakky into a cabin room before the astonished eyes of his junior brothers, beginning an even fiercer battle within.

"Karu, tell me, was that real?"

Kano stared dumbfoundedly at Li Yuan, who had carried a woman into the cabin, and asked in confusion.

"Slap yourself, and you'll know whether it was real."

Karu replied instinctively.

"Smack!!!!"

"I told you to slap yourself! Why did you slap me?"

Karu covered his already-red left cheek in anger.

"Did that hurt?"

Kano asked.

"Of course it hurt! Why don't I slap you and see whether it hurts!"

Karu became even angrier upon hearing that.

"So it hurt. That means everything we just saw was real, right?"

Kano said, stroking his chin.
