"You're not stupid. That's right, plenty of pirates cause trouble at the docks every day, but not every dead pirate is named Habbit.
I'm just giving someone an explanation. He is my business partner, after all. If I weren't showing him some respect, would a greedy, arrogant fool like Habbit be worth my attention?"
The young noble maintained the phony smile peculiar to aristocrats as he casually answered Yechen's question, looking as though he had him right where he wanted him.
"Oh, it seems this Habbit fellow had quite a powerful backer, someone even a noble like you wouldn't dare offend lightly. That really is bad news."
Yechen merely said the words. There wasn't a trace of fear in his voice.
"Hmph!"
The young noble caught the meaning behind Yechen's words and snorted heavily, then waved his hand to order the attack.
Watching thousands of men rapidly surround them, Yechen wasn't in a hurry to act. Instead, he looked at Ito Miyuki beside him.
"Miyuki, we get to fight side by side again."
"Yes. I'm looking forward to it."
Ito Miyuki's gaze sharpened, and the soul flames in her eyes flickered.
She pulled a kunai from her backpack and readied herself fully for battle.
"Have you two forgotten about me?"
Tsunade's disgruntled voice came from behind them.
Seeing how serious Tsunade looked, Yechen chuckled.
"You're in too."
"That's more like it."
With that, Tsunade charged ahead first. She didn't use her blade, instead raising her bare fists as she rushed toward the army of thousands.
Boom!
Even a Kage Level ninja wouldn't dare take Tsunade's punch head-on. It carried her monstrous strength.
Never mind these pirates-even a large ship could be shattered by that single punch.
Dozens died in the storm unleashed by the force of just one punch.
Shock
