"Oh, you want my head? Then come and get it, if you can manage it..."
Swoosh...
Before Phil could finish speaking, another pirate, unable to resist the temptation, swung his sword at him.
"Oh dear... that was close!! Almost there, let's try again, maybe we can cut my head off soon."
Phil spoke of danger, but there was no trace of tension on his face. He moved through the pirates' slashing and hacking attacks as if he were playing a game, without even getting his clothes torn.
"Damn it, get out of my way..."
Seeing that his men were no match for Phil and that continuing would only make them look foolish, Kenya waved for them to leave and stepped forward with his sword at his side.
"You're not bad, kid. I'll give you a chance. If you're willing to join us, I'll let you off the hook. With your skills, you might even be able to become the first mate on my ship. What do you say? Want to join us?!"
Kenya did not rush to make the first move, but instead extended an invitation to Phil with an appreciative expression.
"Hey... Captain, how can you do that? That guy was extremely disrespectful to you. In my opinion, the best course of action is to execute him."
Upon hearing that Kenya had invited Phil, before Phil could even speak, his subordinate Bobby couldn't help but step forward and say in a very unwilling tone.
"Um..."
Thud...
When Kenya saw that his subordinate dared to question his decision, his expression changed instantly, and he reached out and slapped the man hard, sending him flying.
Thump...
Bobby was flung out like a strip of cloth, crashing into the ship's railing and shattering into pieces on the sea.
Splash...
Bobby quickly poked his upper body out of the sea and looked at his captain with a puzzled expression.
"Hmph, who's the captain here, you or me? It's my decision, not yours to utter a word. Now you'd better shut your eyes and keep your mouth shut..."
And what about you? Young man, tell me what your decision is...
Kenya scoffed at Bobby's incomprehension, then calmly explained, before turning to Phil, wanting to know his final decision.
"My choice? Of course it's... joining you... yeah right, how could I possibly join a weak and evil nameless pirate crew like you? Although I'm a little reluctant to admit it, the Navy considers me a member of another Supernovas pirate crew. Pirates like you aren't even worthy of carrying their shoes."
Phil seemed to have considered the matter carefully before making his decision. Initially, when he spoke the first part, the pirates, especially the Kenya captain, were excited, thinking another Admiral had joined them. However, his next words completely enraged them. Not content with that, he then brought up the example of the Luo Chen Pirates to further belittle them.
After Phil gave his answer, the Kenya captain who had extended the invitation to him quickly turned grim, his clenched fists cracking as he strode forward and stopped beside him, speaking expressionlessly.
"Very well, so this is your choice? I must say, your choice is your ticket to hell. Now, let me use this knife to send you to hell!!"
Clang!!
After saying that, Kenya drew the sword slung across his waist and pointed it at Phil.
Ta-da-ta-da...
"Die... Death Cutting!!"
Having said that, Kenya took a step forward, gripped the hilt of his knife, and swung it down hard at Phil's neck.
Clang...
A flash of cold light swept past, and Phil leaned back, his face close to the blade's edge, avoiding its movement. He unleashed a circular slash that sliced through a corner of the roof, which then slowly collapsed with a loud crash.
"Hmm, compared to your subordinates and the Marines I just encountered on the island, this is the strength of 70 million Beli. Very good, Pirate Kenya, I will now use my full strength. I hope you can give me some fun!!"
Swift Flash...
Phil glanced back at the immense power of Kenya's slash and exclaimed excitedly.
Having said that, Swift Dash past, his right fist enveloped in a faint Blue Light, and swung towards his head.
Thump...
The fist collided with the blade, unleashing a violent shockwave that caused the surrounding atmosphere to tremble, rippling outwards like waves.
Swoosh...
Bang...
Undeterred by their failed attack, the two men pressed their blows with their spare fists. In the blink of an eye, the pirate ship was shaken violently by the Impact of their clash, and the crew members lost their balance and fell to the ground.
brush...
The two ignored the disturbances they caused and continued their fierce battle.
"Hahaha, again, again!!"
Clang clang clang...
Phil grew increasingly excited and frenzied by the evenly matched battle, unleashing a Storm of punches at Kenya, each blow landing on the back of his knife. As time went on, Kenya's strength waned, and even his ability to parry Phil's punches gradually diminished.
Clang!!
"What's wrong, Captain Kenya? Didn't you say you were going to subdue me? Why are you getting weaker and weaker? This won't do. If this continues, forget about defeating me, you might not even survive."
The ultimate kicking technique... Cold Shadow Whip!!
With that, Phil's right foot swept out like a whip.
With a clang, the Kenya man and his knife were swept away and landed heavily on the deck.
"Hehehe... Looks like even you can't satisfy me... Hurry up and use any other tricks you have, or you won't have a chance to use them..."
Swift Dash... the Giant Elephant Trample!
As soon as he finished speaking, Phil's speed increased dramatically. He flashed past like a shadow and appeared above him, gathering all his strength in his right leg and Falling Strike down.
boom...
"Pfft..."
Phil kicked Kenya in the chest, causing him to vomit blood profusely. The kick then crashed through several layers below, reducing the area by half, until it finally stopped at the outermost layer.
Swoosh...
Phil One Flash away from him and landed nearby, looking at him coldly.
Click... Click...
"Damn it... Don't underestimate me, this little injury is nothing, I'll recover in no time."
Kenya struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand as if nothing had happened. His gaze grew even more sinister, and he made no other move while clutching his injured chest with his other hand.
"Damn it, that last blow broke several of my ribs! Is this guy even an ordinary person? Never mind, I'm going to skin him alive and tear him apart to vent my anger."
Kenya thought bitterly to himself, then bent down, picked up the knife, and pushed off the splint with his foot, leaping to Phil's side and slashing down with both hands.
" Divine Shadow... Elbow Strike!!"
Thump...
Before he could strike, Phil had already Elbow Strike him away, sending him flying once again up the hole he had just created.
With a whoosh, Phil also gave a light push and leaped up.
" Kenya, you can't let you damage my ship again. This is the vital vessel carrying me to the next island. If we're going to fight, let's fight it out here!"
Phil said this without any regard for Kenya, the owner of the ship, and immediately claimed that the ship belonged to him.
"Damn it, this is my throne, how could it be your ship? But fighting here is better than damaging the ship. Come on... this time I'm going to tear you to pieces!!"
Kenya was naturally furious that Phil claimed his ships as his own, and he grabbed his knife again and charged.
"Heh... Fight you? You must have misunderstood something. From that moment on, you were no longer a worthy opponent. I'll finish you off with one move..."
Phil disagreed with the word "fight" he used. In his recent battle with the man, he had already thoroughly investigated his strength and abilities. How could someone far inferior to him be worthy of being his opponent? Using the word "fight" to describe him was an insult to his abilities.
"What did you say? You want to finish me off in one move? Ridiculous! Then come and see what move you use to end me!"
Super Heavyweight Slash!!
Kenya was even more enraged by the blatant disregard for his strength. He raised his blade and swung it forward, unleashing a powerful crescent-shaped slash.
Swoosh...
"Um... Hey, hey, hey, what exactly do you want to do to my ship?"
... Spinning Hundred-Style Battle Axe!!
Seeing that dodging would cut through the ships behind him, Phil chose to take the hit head-on in order not to damage the ships behind him. He leaped into the air with a push of his foot, then spun Extreme Speed and stomped down with his right foot like a storm.
Clang!!
Phil stomped his right foot hard on the slash, then roared and concentrated all his strength to crush it. The powerful slash turned into streams of air that dispersed.
clatter...
Phil stepped lightly onto the deck, looking at him calmly with a slight smile on his lips.
"Anything else? If there aren't any other methods, then it's my turn to take action!!"
Let me end your sinful life with this powerful strike that I just conceived through meditation... Ultimate Technique... Divine Godspeed Extreme Killing Fist... Collapse and Destruction!!"
As he spoke, Phil was already in front of Kennedy face was contorted with rage and filled with resentment, and slammed a heavy blow into his chest.
Bang...
The punch was incredibly powerful, piercing straight through his chest, and blood mixed with bits of internal organs and flesh gushed out.
"Cough cough..."
Kenya stared in disbelief at the gaping hole in his chest, coughing up blood. He then gradually lost consciousness and collapsed onto the splint with a thud.
"Captain!!"
When the pirate crew saw their captain fall, they all shouted his name, hoping he would get up again and defeat them, but no matter how much they shouted, Kenya couldn't hear them.
