Lin Muxue and the others' expressions darkened. "What do you mean? Otherwise?"
Ye Yu sneered, "If it's that simple, then forget it. It's too easy for you."
This infuriated Lin Muxue and the others. They said in a heavy tone, "We've already proposed surrender, which is humiliating enough. We've lost face in front of the entire world. Isn't that enough?"
Ye Yu scoffed, "Your face means nothing to me. It's not enough."
Lin Muxue and the others clenched their fists, gritting their teeth, but they couldn't act impulsively.
"Ye Yu, continuing this fight will only lead to casualties on both sides. Even if you win, the losses will be significant. Is it worth it?"
"Ye Yu, don't you care about the lives of your crew?"
"It's best to end this now. Otherwise, the fight will only escalate to a life-and-death struggle."
...
Ye Yu spoke calmly, "If you want to surrender, that's fine. But as the losing side, you'll obviously have to pay a price. Give us some compensation."
This made Lin Muxue and the others' expressions grow even uglier, their anger rising.
Jin Mo roared, "Ye Yu, don't push your luck!"
Song Ling added, "Don't you want to end this fight? We've already offered to surrender, giving you a way out, and now you're demanding compensation?"
Wang Quanshi said gravely, "We've already suffered heavy losses. You've killed several of our executives and powerful combat crew members. Isn't that enough? And now you want compensation?"
Lin Muxue snorted, "Where would our dignity be then? It would only bring more humiliation."
Ye Yu didn't want to waste any more words. He cracked his knuckles and said, "Then let's keep fighting. My crew is just getting started."
Lin Muxue and the others fell silent, their expressions serious. They didn't want to continue. They exchanged glances and began to whisper among themselves.
"We can't keep fighting."
"Maybe we should hear what kind of compensation he wants?"
"No way! He's just being greedy!"
"Then you fight him?"
"You..."
...
In the end, they had no choice but to make a decision.
Lin Muxue asked, "What kind of compensation do you want?"
Ye Yu replied, "I want five precious treasure chests. The value of these chests should be comparable to the one I obtained after defeating the Demon Shark. Don't even think about trying to pass off low-quality treasures. Additionally, I want twenty top-tier Ferocious Sea Beasts. When you encounter them, you must not kill them. Instead, you must weaken them to the brink of death and deliver them to me. Don't try to pass off lower-level beasts—they won't be accepted. On top of that, I want another hundred high-level Ferocious Sea Beasts, also weakened to the brink of death and delivered to us for harvesting."
After hearing this, Lin Muxue and the others were trembling with anger. Five precious treasures and so many powerful Ferocious Beasts would provide a significant amount of Experience Points. For a Pirate Crew, this would be a substantial boost, and it would attract the attention of many powerful Pirate Crews. Even for the strongest crews, obtaining such resources wouldn't be easy. Yet, Ye Yu had the audacity to make such demands.
"No way! You're dreaming!"
"A small compensation is fine, but asking for this much is ridiculous!"
"We're not completely defeated. A slight compensation might be acceptable, but you're asking for far too much. It's impossible. Don't even think about it!"
...
This time, Lin Muxue and the other prodigies were united in their anger. They couldn't accept it, feeling that Ye Yu's demands were far too excessive.
To achieve these, it would take at least ten days to half a month, and in the early stages, leveling up is crucial and cannot be neglected. If ten days to half a month equates to gaining nothing, the impact would be too significant.
Ye Yu didn't waste any more words, coldly stating, "If you don't accept it, then let's continue the fight. No more talk."
With that, Ye Yu immediately took action.
Lin Muxue, furious, growled, "Then let's continue the fight! Go all out and make Ye Yu regret this!"
Their anger fueled the rising battle spirit among the prodigies.
They launched another full-scale assault. A powerful combat crew member seized an opening and swiftly attacked, his blade gleaming with a cold light, aiming directly for Ye Yu's vital points.
Ye Yu sidestepped, easily dodging the strike. He then threw a punch, the force of his fist roaring like a terrifying cannonball. The opponent hurriedly blocked with his blade but was still sent flying, spitting blood.
This combat crew member was a Non-Ability User, contracted by Koshiro, who was Zoro's master in his younger days.
Song Ling, Wang Quanshi, and other prodigies joined forces, unleashing a barrage of flames, lightning, and wind blades.
Ye Yu simply threw a single, unadorned punch, shattering all their attacks and sending them reeling, their bodies aching from the sheer power of his fist.
Lin Muxue roared, "Hold on! Ye Yu's stamina must be depleting faster than ours, since he's fighting so many of us alone."
This was their only hope.
Ye Yu raised both fists, leaped into the air, and then unleashed a barrage of punches downward, shouting.
"Meteor Shower!"
Another self-created technique, Ye Yu's fists moved at an incredible speed, high-frequency punches filling the air in an instant.
Lin Muxue and the others looked up, their faces pale. The space above was filled with countless fists, each carrying terrifying power, not weakened by the rapid frequency.
Each punch was pitch black, truly resembling countless black meteors.
The live audience was stunned.
"So powerful."
"Even though it's just two fists, it's like Ye Yu has hundreds of fists."
"It's because of the incredible attack speed."
…
The dense black fists rained down like a meteor shower, and Lin Muxue and the others quickly countered with all their might.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions were relentless. Their attacks continuously shattered the black fists, but their own attacks were also being destroyed.
Lin Muxue sneered, "Just like this, wear him down."
Wang Quanshi and the others believed that Ye Yu's high-intensity fighting would inevitably lead to greater exhaustion.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ah!"
However, Ye Yu's attacks grew increasingly ferocious and violent. Despite their numbers, they couldn't completely fend off the onslaught of fists. Some of the weaker members were unable to block all the punches and were struck. Just one punch out of the hundreds carried enough force to knock them down, causing them to scream in pain. The impact left their bodies dented, bones shattered. If hit in the head, they would be left bloodied, unconscious, their minds ringing, and they would collapse to the ground.
As more and more fighters fell, Lin Muxue and the others' expressions turned grim.
Meanwhile, Xia Ling, Xiao Ke, and the rest of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew were also fighting with all their might, their morale soaring.
The morale of the four major pirate crews had already been low, and as the battle continued, their disadvantage only grew. Their strength waned, and casualties rapidly increased.
Some even wanted to desert.
"I don't want to die."
"There's no need to fight to the death for a Pirate Crew like this."
"Yeah, it's not like the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, which has strong cohesion and deep bonds. I don't want to fight anymore. Continuing like this is pointless; we'll lose."
...
Noticing this, Lin Muxue and the others looked extremely grim. Their morale was shaken. Other battlefields were at a disadvantage, casualties were increasing, and here, they still couldn't do anything to Ye Yu. Instead, their forces were continuously falling. Ye Yu was too terrifying.
If they continued to fight, they would lose, and the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew might not even suffer heavy losses.
In the distance, over two hundred thousand troops watched anxiously. Ye Yu remained undefeated, and they could only watch helplessly, unable to assist.
"Let's surrender."
"If this continues, even if we can escape, our losses will be t
oo great, and the Pirate Crew's strength will be severely diminished."
"It's just not worth it. Let's follow Ye Yu's proposal."
...
Lin Muxue made a difficult decision: "Enough, we surrender. We'll follow your proposal!"
