In the arena, two pirates were locked in a fierce battle.
Both sides gave it their all, trying every means to kill the other.
But their strength was evenly matched. After a long time, only injuries were seen, but no victor.
However, with a mistake from one of the pirates, the other seized the opportunity and chopped off an arm, finally bringing the duel to an end.
"Haha, Kazuo, well done! Come and claim your rightful bounty!"
Scar Walker laughed heartily, his mood exceptionally good.
On the other side, Evil Tooth Garcia's face was grim. When his defeated subordinate walked in front of him, he directly pulled out a flintlock and pulled the trigger, aiming at the defeated subordinate.
Bang!
A fresh life was ended on the spot.
"How could a useless piece of trash like you be one of my subordinates!" Evil Tooth Garcia spat in disgust, putting away his flintlock. "Take his body down and dispose of it!"
Killing in public.
If this were in Center Street, it would definitely attract a large number of soldiers.
But in Pirate Street, this was an everyday occurrence. No one took life seriously.
Instead, the pirates began to scorn the defeated subordinate. They only respected the strong; they felt no pity for the weak!
"For the first time, I understood the meaning of the word 'cruelty'."
Ye Jia silently took a sip of wine.
This was the true pirate world!
What was described in the anime was merely superficial. True pirates were extremely brutal and inhumane, caring nothing for life, which was why they became objects of contempt!
This was also why the Marines placed bounties on their heads.
In One Piece, Luffy always knocked out enemies or rendered them unconscious, giving them a chance to live, and never killed anyone.
But in the real pirate world, killing was more common than eating and drinking; it was practically more prevalent than breathing!
Ye Jia felt, for the first time, how fortunate it was to possess strength.
"Walker, don't get too smug. Next time we meet at sea, I'll show you what 'Evil Tooth' means!" Evil Tooth Garcia snorted coldly, then waved his hand. "Today's bad luck. Let's go!"
He left the tavern with his subordinates.
"It's time to cleanse the world of some evil."
Ye Jia put down his wine glass, stood up, and followed them.
"Remember this, all of you! Next time we encounter anyone from the Scar Pirate Crew, you must hit them hard. Kill one, and I'll reward you with a hundred gold coins!"
Evil Tooth Garcia was very vindictive, already treating the Scar Pirate Crew as mortal enemies.
His subordinates, upon hearing the bounty of a hundred gold coins, were all incredibly excited.
"Is that so? Then give me all the bounty money now."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Evil Tooth Garcia.
Evil Tooth Garcia turned around and saw that the speaker was a guy in a black cloak. He couldn't help but frown and said in a harsh tone, "Who are you? Do you want to be an enemy of my Evil Tooth Pirate Crew?"
"If you think so, you're not wrong. But I prefer you call me 'Grim Reaper'!"
Grim Reaper was the name Ye Jia gave himself, and it was the name he would use to roam the seas in the future.
Wherever he went, that place would be the Grim Reaper's dwelling. All evil pirates would die under his "Grim Reaper's Scythe"!
"You ignorant fool! Kill him for me! I'll feed his head to the dogs!" Evil Tooth Garcia shouted.
Immediately, all his subordinates rushed forward with knives.
"I have no interest in you small-fry! What I'm interested in..."
Ye Jia's words were cut short as his figure suddenly vanished from his spot.
A yellow light quietly appeared behind Evil Tooth Garcia, his foot already raised.
"...is your head!"
Light Speed Kick!
Bang!
Evil Tooth Garcia's body, trailing a yellow laser, was fiercely shot into the wall, directly smashing a large hole in it!
"The special effect of Light Speed Kick is finally unleashed."
Ye Jia admired his last strike with satisfaction. Before, when he used Light Speed Kick, it was just a simple kick, without any added effects.
But this time, his Light Speed Kick completely achieved Kizaru's initial effect: the struck object would emit a laser, causing secondary damage and even more terrifying power.
As long as he continued to practice diligently, he believed reaching Kizaru's level wouldn't be difficult.
"Boss!"
His subordinates heard the commotion behind them. When they turned around, they saw Evil Tooth Garcia, whose body was already twisted and deformed, twitching and foaming at the mouth. They cried out in alarm.
"And you guys, you all deserve to die."
Ye Jia casually pointed over a dozen times, and instantly over a dozen laser beams shot out, directly piercing through the heads of these subordinates.
A bloody hole suddenly appeared between their brows, instantly snuffing out their breath, and they fell to the ground.
Ye Jia was too lazy to even touch the scum.
The commotion here caused a stir. Vendors on both sides fled in a panic, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Pirate street brawls and killings were too common. If one was accidentally involved, dying for nothing was a given.
Even the Goa Kingdom was too lazy to manage this place; it was a typical lawless zone.
"Next up is you. I wonder what Devil Fruit fragments will drop from you?"
Ye Jia hadn't directly kicked Evil Tooth Garcia's head off with one strike precisely for the Devil Fruit fragments.
Through his research these past few days, he had basically confirmed the pattern.
To drop Devil Fruit fragments, he had to hit people!
And the stronger the person hit, the higher the drop rate.
Therefore, another reason for him to hunt pirates was to drop Devil Fruit fragments from these bounty pirates!
"It's time for results!"
Ye Jia instantly appeared in front of Evil Tooth Garcia. He was still twitching and foaming at the mouth.
Ye Jia felt no pity for this.
Light Speed Punch!
Bang bang bang...
A thousand punches per second, all aimed at Evil Tooth Garcia's body, almost breaking every single bone in his body.
If the attacks were concentrated in one spot, how could Evil Tooth Garcia possibly survive?
"Congratulations, you have obtained one 'Rumble-Rumble Fruit' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained one 'Rumble-Rumble Fruit' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained one 'Rumble-Rumble Fruit' fragment!"
"..."
The effect of a thousand punches was a sweet female electronic voice continuously popping up like a cassette tape!
"Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Another Logia, awesome!"
Ye Jia was excited.
Before he came, he had fantasized many times.
If it happened to be a rather useless Zoan-type fruit, he would simply keep it and sell it at a high price, exchanging it for money.
If it was a Paramecia-type fruit, he would have to decide whether to sell or keep it based on its category.
But if it was a Logia-type fruit, no question, he had to use it himself!
In Ye Jia's plan, if he could gather all the Logia fruits, he would essentially control all of nature. Destroying the world at will, how terrifying would that be?
Ye Jia naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity!
What's more, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit had been terrifyingly effective in Enel's hands. His strength alone was comparable to any Admiral, even capable of defeating Admirals!
One could say that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit had always been an invincible existence among Logia types. If it weren't for Luffy's Rubber-Rubber Fruit countering him, Enel would absolutely have become one of the Four Emperors!
How could Ye Jia not be excited to obtain such a fruit?
"Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I'm coming!"
