Photo Artist "Firebird Vance"

Hass the protagonist stared at Kuta, his whole body radiating a murderous aura.

"Do it."

"Ah!"

Upon hearing the sound of the pig's feet, the Pirates surrounding Kuta all pulled their triggers.

Amidst a continuous barrage of gunfire, countless black Bullet pierced through the thick smoke and hurtled towards the empty Kuta in the center.

"Why don't you guys ever learn your lesson!"

Kuta, not moving an inch.

Bullet fired from all directions would stop in mid-air as soon as they entered a meter of the Kuta.

Kuta withdrew his gaze, glanced at the Bullet around him, his eyes narrowed, and a recoil force acted on this...

Some Bullet.

Then, to everyone's horror, it shot out in all directions at an even faster speed.

We let you go before, but you still came back.

What else could it be but courting death?!

Puff--!

After the first sound, there was a second, and then, amidst countless "plop" sounds, dozens of Pirates fell to the ground.

"Guns are useless against this guy."

"Everyone, use your knives."

Seeing the Pirates lying on the ground in front of them, the people behind did not back down.

With so many of them, how could they possibly be intimidated by Kuta?

One of the Pirates roared at the surroundings, drew his sword, and charged forward.

"Charge!"

"500 million heads."

The word 500 million completely roused the surrounding Pirates; these guys looked at Kuta with nothing but greed in their eyes.

They all drew their swords and Kuta, following the Pirates.

They'd risk their lives for tens of thousands of Beli, let alone 500 million heads!

They didn't expect to kill the Silver Hair themselves; they just wanted to perform well so they could get a share of the money later.

Kuta frowned as he looked at the Pirates charging towards him and sensed their frenzied nature.

To be honest, he didn't want to waste his time with these guys.

Just as he was about to unleash his Conqueror's Haki to clear the area.

A tremendous roar came from behind the Pirates.

"Get the hell out of my way!"

Behind the Pirates, a huge black figure, wielding Kanabo, smashed the ground and ruthlessly broke through the Pirates surrounding Kuta, heading towards them.

Hearing the commotion, the Pirates who were rushing towards Kuta all braked suddenly and retreated hastily.

Harvey the protagonist is notoriously ruthless. In battle, he not only kills his enemies, but when he gets excited about killing, he will also mercilessly kill his own comrades.

Kuta looked at Harvey the protagonist, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Bajie."

"You didn't eat the Mythical Zoan Fruit Devil Fruit you?!"

This guy looks way too much like the Pigsy from Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, which he watched in his past life!

The only difference is that one is white, and the other is covered in black fur.

"You brat, you dare to get distracted even when you're about to die."

Harvey the protagonist rushed to Kuta's side and looked at Kuta. Sorata's expression hadn't changed at all; instead, he seemed to be lost in thought.

"Then you should just die!"

As he spoke, he raised his Kanabo and slammed it down heavily towards Kuta's head.

He looked at Kuta with excitement on his face.

He can already see 500 million Beli beckoning to him.

However, his excitement did not last long.

"Bang

With a "thud," the Kanabo in his hand stopped in mid-air.

"How is that possible?"

Hass the Pig's Trotter stared at the hand in front of him, his pupils contracting rapidly, his mind clearing in an instant.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! You must be kidding me!"

"That was Captain Pig's attack after he transformed!"

"They couldn't even make that Silver Hair brat back a step."

The surrounding Pirates were momentarily speechless, then, with red eyes, they roared at the protagonist.

"Stop playing around, Captain Pig! Use your invincible strength to smash this guy's head!"

They were unwilling to admit that a flicker of fear had just crossed their minds.

"Well! Tell me, what kind of Devil Fruit User are you?"

Kuta looked at the pig's feet with curiosity in his eyes, "How come it looks so much like someone I remember!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

He then burst into laughter.

Haas, the protagonist, looked at Kuta and sensed the contempt in his words and eyes, causing the veins on his forehead to bulge.

"Are you kidding me?! I'm a porcupine-man with a bounty of 70 million Beli, who ate the Porcupine Devil Fruit and possesses limitless power!"

"How could I possibly lose to a brat like you in terms of strength!"

As he spoke, he exerted force with both hands, his veins bulging, and his entire arm instantly swelled up, as he tried to lift the Kanabo.

"Ah..."

But no matter how hard he tried, Kuta's hand was like a Big Mountain, holding the Kanabo and not moving an inch.

"The Porcupine Devil Fruit?"

Looking at the stupid pig in front of him, Kuta immediately lost interest. He gripped the Kanabo with his left hand and slowly put his right hand on the hilt of Zankū's sword.

The only thing that interests these guys is the Devil Fruit power in front of them. Now that they know what it is, they'd better finish this quickly so they can go back to sleep as soon as possible.

He drew his Zankū, Zhan Kong, tilted his head back and yawned. Then, his eyes turned cold, and he raised Zankū, turning it 360 degrees to the right.

"Moon Slash!"

Bite--!

Kuta straightened up and sheathed his sword.

Only then did they see an arc-shaped Slash, gleaming coldly in the moonlight, spreading outwards like a ribbon, rapidly cutting in all directions.

The Slash was silent and stealthy, giving no one time to react. It swiftly sliced through everyone surrounding Kuta on the street, cut through the houses, and disappeared from sight.

Koby the Mad Sword, holding his sword, looked at Kuta, his eyes quickly darkening.

"Is this the man with the 500 million bounty on his head?"

How adorably naive we are!

They actually thought of coming to take the head of such a monster.

Bite--!

The knife breaks, and so does the person.

The entire Pirate Alliance, numbering over a thousand, was wiped out.

Chapter 24 Photographer "Firebird Vance"

One cut, only one cut.

Firebird Vance, looking at the scene through the telescope, his pupils contracted and his face turned red.

His heart was pounding like thunder.

He felt like he was standing at the gates of Hell; the thrill of death made him forget everything else, and he continued pressing the Camera's power button.

That pale white figure under the moonlight will probably be imprinted in his mind for a lifetime.

This killing technique is so powerful it's almost like an art form.

It held a fatal attraction for him.

Elegant, beautiful.

He suddenly thought of something, his face lit up with excitement, and he raised his Camera, pressing the shutter button repeatedly.

He wanted to forever etch the figure, who appeared like an angel but was actually a devil under the moonlight, into reality.

He's afraid!

He feared that Kuta would disappear in the next instant.

He'll probably regret it for the rest of his life.

Click!

Click click click click!!

I kept pressing the shutter button.

Just then, Kuta turned his head. The wind blew, his Silver Hair danced in the air, Azure-blue Pupils shimmered like Nebula in the moonlight.

A stunningly handsome young man, lounging amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, has just been photographed.

If only Kuta were in the photo, everyone who saw it would definitely mistake it for a wedding photo.

However, consider the background of the photo.

That would definitely be a terrifying photo.

"Well done! It's really good."

"Of course, you don't even know who took the picture."

"I, Firebird Vance, am one of the top photographic artists in our Newspaper Office!"

Firebird Vance lay on the ground, his rear end sticking out, looking through the binoculars.

"Well..."

He suddenly realized that Kuta had disappeared from the camera's viewfinder, and what he had just done...

Kuta silently appeared beside Firebird Vance, crouching down and looking at the photos in the Camera.

It has to be said that this guy is wasting his talent by not becoming a professional photographer; his photos are handled perfectly in terms of both angle and lighting.

He was completely awestruck by the scene in the photo.

"Um!"

Kuta stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "With looks like mine, it's a real shame I'm not a star."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Firebird Vance stiffly turned his head to look at Kuta, who was squatting beside him. Because it was dark, only Kuta 'Azure Eyes could be seen, and his face was completely dark.

Kuta didn't exude any aura, but the terrifying power he carried—the same power that had just killed a thousand people with a single strike—made Firebird's face turn pale.

The excitement he had just felt was like eating ice cream in the dead of winter, sending a chill down his spine.
