Seeing Wang Quanshi so confident, Lin Muxue and Jin Mo looked at him with curiosity and amusement.
"Oh? That confident?"
"Even after witnessing my strength, you dare say such things. It seems the Ability User you inherited isn't weak either. But in the future, you definitely won't be stronger than me, Lin Muxue."
Wang Quanshi smirked. "In the future, I will undoubtedly be the strongest. You only dare call yourself the 'Strongest Creature on Land and Air,' but I declare that soon, I will be the 'Strongest Creature in the Sea, Land, and Air.'"
Hearing this, Jin Mo, Song Ling, and Lin Muxue all laughed. The other crew members, even those from the Azure Dragon Pirates, were stunned—their Captain had actually said something like this.
Lin Muxue chuckled. "What a joke. One of those is impossible—the sea. Both of us are Devil Fruit Users. Seawater is our weakness. Fighting in the sea? That's suicide. Yet you still included it?"
Wang Quanshi remained confident. "Of course. Not just because I'll eventually achieve Complete Dragon Transformation, but mainly due to Kaido's innate strength and physique. Your Enel has no notable title. Jin Mo's Golden Lion is a legendary pirate. But Kaido? He's one of the Four Emperors in the pirate world—the 'Strongest Creature in the Sea, Land, and Air,' the strongest in one-on-one combat. That's why I dare say I'll inevitably become the strongest."
"As for why I can claim dominance even in the sea—once I fully inherit Kaido's innate power, I'll be able to fight in seawater without weakening. That's the importance of physique. Take Tuoba Jie, for example. He survived in the sea before purely because of his physique and vitality. After inheriting Kaido's strength, I feel vastly stronger, especially in Haki and, most terrifyingly, my physique. My power, defense, and particularly my vitality have improved immensely. Combined with my Devil Fruit abilities, I'm confident I'll be unstoppable in battle, capable of enduring prolonged fights."
"So, soon enough, I will surpass Ye Yu—and do it faster than any of you. I, Wang Quanshi, will become the 'Strongest Creature in the Sea, Land, and Air.'"
Hearing this, Lin Muxue and Jin Mo were shocked. Was he really that powerful?
Jin Mo cracked his knuckles. "After the celebration, let's spar."
"Fine by me."
At that moment, Song Ling snorted. "I'll be the strongest—the one who reigns supreme. In terms of physique, what I've inherited is definitely superior. Charlotte Linlin's innate strength is exceptional, especially her physique—naturally top-tier. If any of you want to claim the title of strongest, you'll have to ask me first."
Lin Muxue, Jin Mo, and Wang Quanshi realized that all four of them had grown significantly. None of them were just boasting.
"Good. Then we'll compete for it later."
"I'm looking forward to it."
"As for Ye Yu? He doesn't even qualify to compete with us."
"True. In the long run, he's not even in our league."
…
After the celebration, they began their sparring matches, with the crew watching intently in anticipation.
The battle commenced—Jin Mo versus Wang Quanshi. After an intense fight, Wang Quanshi emerged victorious.
Lin Muxue and Song Ling were astonished. Wang Quanshi had indeed grown much stronger—perhaps the most among them. He had gained more techniques, and his physique was truly formidable.
"Good. It seems none of us were exaggerating. Our improvements are real."
"Then for the time being, let's continue sailing together as four pirate crews. We'll separate only when each individual crew surpasses the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, to avoid being targeted by them when operating alone."
"Agreed. United as four, we'll soon become the strongest alliance. Even now, we might not be at a disadvantage against the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew. With our combined strength, we can grow faster and acquire resources more quickly."
...
Though resources would be divided more ways, they believed staying together was slightly better.
Lin Muxue declared confidently: "When the tournament comes, watch me defeat Ye Yu."
...
Meanwhile, Ye Yu was training in the Gravity Chamber. He had learned about Jin Mo and the others reaching level thirty but wasn't concerned—if anything, he was slightly intrigued.
Though they were opponents, he had previously found them unremarkable. Now that they had grown stronger, things might become more interesting.
Wang Quanshi in particular would see the greatest improvement. At max level, he would inevitably surpass Kaido, as max level meant fully inheriting Kaido's fruit mastery and personal strength, combined with Wang Quanshi's own enhancements. This world's top Chosen Ones could all surpass their predecessors at max level.
This made things more exciting—only with strong rivals would it not be dull.
Just then, a pirate crew approached, shouting through a megaphone from afar.
"We are the Giant Pirates. We mean no harm—we wish to join you."
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow. As they drew closer, he could see their overwhelming admiration.
Ye Yu was their idol—not just for his character, but for his crew's camaraderie, reputation, and protection of Taiyuan City. Another reason was that among those he had contracted were Giants, and he could also wield Dominion Country.
The Giant Pirates were all Non-Ability Users, mostly contracted with Giants. With only twenty-five crew members, their goal was to gather all worthy Giant inheritors to sail together.
Now, they wanted to join the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew.
Ye Yu learned that the Giant Pirates had two captains—Dory and Brogy inheritors. Together, they could also unleash Dominion Country, though not as fearsomely as Ye Yu.
Ye Yu assigned crew members to evaluate them. They passed both character and strength assessments—after all, they were all Giant inheritors. The two captains became Executives, while the rest joined as Combat Crew or lower-ranked members.
Thrilled to join the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, they vowed to work harder and not hold the crew back.
Lin Muxue and the others dismissed the news—just a bunch of Non-Ability Users. As long as they weren't powerful Ability Users, it didn't matter.
They were brimming with confidence.
"When the bounty rankings come out, Ye Yu won't rank high. As for the pirate crew rankings, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew won't be the One King—they might not even make the Four Emperors."
Jin Mo sighed in relief: "Luckily, both rankings are over twenty days away. If they were now, Ye Yu would top the bounty list by a wide margin, and the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew would be first in the crew rankings."
"True. That's something to be grateful for."
"Look!"
Soon, they stopped talking and gazed skyward.
The entire world noticed it too—and shuddered.
The Dominant Feather Pirate Crew all looked up, noticing it immediately.
Ye Yu raised his head, feeling a chill, and exclaimed in amazement, "This is the first time something like this has happened. It seems this time will be even more interesting."
