Do You... Want to Dance?

The sudden voice instantly froze the wild laughter on everyone's faces.

Blood Axe Kuangsi immediately grabbed the huge blood-red axe resting on his chair and roared, "Who's skulking around? Get the hell out here!"

"Looks like you're not just a daydreamer. You're blind, too."

Standing at the bow, Ye Yang looked at them, speechless, as he spoke.

Fuck, I'm standing somewhere this obvious and they still can't see me. How blind do you have to be to manage that?

"Brat, you dare insult me!" Blood Axe Kuangsi flew into a rage. He waved his hand and ordered his men, "All of you, get him! Kill that brat!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The pirates on deck stirred, slowly moving to surround Ye Yang.

Ye Yang ignored them, his gaze settling on Blood Axe Kuangsi as a trace of a smile appeared on his lips.

Just what I needed!

He happened to need a Log Pose, and Blood Axe Kuangsi was wearing one on his right wrist!

"Don't resist, brat, and I'll give you a quick death!"

A pirate lackey had already reached Ye Yang. After making his arrogant declaration, he raised his long blade, pushed off with both feet, and leaped up to slash at Ye Yang!

The expected sensation of tearing flesh never traveled through the blade.

All he felt was the recoil of striking something as hard as steel.

The pirate lackey raised his head in bewilderment, and his eyes instantly widened at the sight before him.

Two slender fingers were pinching the blade of the sword in his hand.

"H-how is that possible..."

Disbelief filled the pirate lackey's face. Although his sword couldn't compare to the Great Grade Swords, it was still a fine steel blade. Besides, he was a swordsman who could easily cut even a thick tree in half.

Yet such a "powerful" attack had been caught between two fingers by this seemingly fragile fellow before him!

After freezing for a moment, the pirate lackey came to his senses. He gripped the hilt with both hands and used all his strength, trying to pull the sword free from Ye Yang's fingers.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the blade even a fraction.

Faced with such overwhelming strength, even fools like them finally understood.

They'd bitten off more than they could chew!

Ye Yang looked at them, a faint smile on his lips. "Do you... want to dance?"

"Dance? What's that supposed to mean?"

A pirate lackey murmured in confusion.

"You don't understand? Then... let me teach you how to dance!"

With that, Ye Yang released the blade, his hands blurring as he rapidly formed hand seals.

In just an instant, his hands stopped again.

Then he raised his head and gave a cold shout.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"

Rumble!

As Ye Yang's words rang out, countless thick trees suddenly burst from the sea.

The moment they emerged, they intertwined, transforming in an instant into an enormous wooden dragon that gazed coldly down at every member of the Blood Axe Pirates.

"W-what is that monster?!"

"Gulp! How could we possibly beat a monster like that?"

"Sir, please spare my life! I only joined the crew recently! I haven't done anything bad!"

At the sight of the enormous wooden dragon, nearly a hundred meters in size, many of the Blood Axe Pirates collapsed to the deck, their eyes vacant, having completely lost the will to fight.

Some fared even worse, sobbing as they begged Ye Yang to spare them.

Ignoring their pleas, Ye Yang looked at the dumbstruck Blood Axe Kuangsi, his lips parting slightly in a cold smile.

"Experience the terror of death!"

Roar!

The wooden dragon raised its head and roared at the sky, then stretched out its body and hurtled toward the Blood Axe Pirates' ship!

Rumble!

Wherever the wooden dragon passed, the sea split in two, and despair spread through the Blood Axe Pirates.

Blood Axe Kuangsi stared at the terrifying Wood Dragon Jutsu, his eyes stretched to their limits. "This guy... just who the hell is he?!"

Facing a wooden dragon hundreds of meters long, he... couldn't muster even a shred of courage to resist!

Rumble!

The wooden dragon's enormous body slammed straight into the pirate ship. Terrifying force swept through it, shattering the vessel outright. Everyone aboard was swallowed into the dragon's belly before they could even scream!

After completely destroying the pirate ship, the wooden dragon slowly moved its body over to Ye Yang and opened its mouth as if to please him. An arm was caught between its wooden teeth.

It was Blood Axe Kuangsi's arm!

Walking on the surface of the sea, Ye Yang slowly approached the wooden dragon and took out the severed arm. Looking at the Log Pose strapped to it, he gave a faint smile.

"Good, it's not broken."

After removing the Log Pose, Ye Yang casually tossed the severed arm into the sea, instantly drawing a small school of fish that fought to tear into it.
