"You!"
Bloody Sword Passis drew out a large red saber. His hot-headed pirate temper got the better of him, and he furiously swung his blade upwards!
As the most formidable pirate in the nearby waters, with a bounty of 33 million Beri, no one had ever dared to challenge his authority so openly.
He could tolerate that idiot Dresrosa, but now even this foreign uninvited guest dared to mock him like this?
Could Passis possibly endure this?
Kill him first, then talk!
"Very good. I've noted that you struck first."
Ye Jia smiled faintly.
Just before the crimson saber could fall upon his forehead, Ye Jia's figure and the tiger-skin stool vanished simultaneously.
"Huh?!"
Passis's saber swung through empty air, and he couldn't help but be greatly startled.
"Where is he? Where is he?!"
He hurriedly looked around, trying to find Ye Jia's figure.
However, he couldn't see him anywhere.
"Hey, where are you looking? I'm above you!"
Ye Jia's voice came from above Bloody Sword Passis's head.
Passis quickly looked up, and without another word, swung his large saber towards Ye Jia.
But before the blade even reached him, Ye Jia's figure vanished again.
"Damn it!"
Passis was furious.
This guy was just toying with him!
"If you've got the guts, don't dodge! Let's fight head-on!"
Passis roared.
Ye Jia's figure materialized, standing in front of Passis.
"Alright, head-on it is."
Ye Jia spread his arms. "You first."
"I'm going to kill you!"
Passis roared and bellowed, swinging his crimson saber directly at Ye Jia.
This time, Ye Jia, just as he said, didn't dodge at all.
The crimson saber sliced Ye Jia in half from head to waist!
However, not a single drop of blood spilled.
The wounds on Ye Jia's body recovered instantly.
"Logia-type Devil Fruit user..."
Bloody Sword Passis's face turned pale at this sight, and his crew members' eyes trembled.
Against a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, unless one used Seastone or was even stronger than the ability user, it was simply impossible to defeat them!
Haki could also deal with Logia users, but Bloody Sword Passis evidently didn't even know of Haki's existence.
"Your strength is on point, but unfortunately, you're lacking a bit in intelligence."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste time with you. First, contribute a Devil Fruit... What kind of Devil Fruit will it be?"
Ye Jia's lips curled upwards.
Light Speed Punch!
His fists rained down on Bloody Sword Passis like a torrent.
"Congratulations! You have obtained one 'Barrier-Barrier Fruit' fragment!"
"Congratulations! You have obtained one 'Barrier-Barrier Fruit' fragment!"
"Congratulations! You have obtained one 'Barrier-Barrier Fruit' fragment!"
"..."
Sweet, mechanical female electronic voices popped up in large numbers.
The Paramecia-type Barrier-Barrier Fruit?
This skill is great!
In terms of attack power, it's certainly not as formidable as Logia or other Paramecia types, but when it comes to defense, the Barrier-Barrier Fruit is arguably a top-notch, incredibly powerful Devil Fruit!
"Although it doesn't have much personal use for me right now, I'll inevitably encounter particularly troublesome opponents in the future. The Barrier-Barrier Fruit can not only guarantee my own safety but also protect my comrades!"
Ye Jia, currently possessing two Logia-type Devil Fruits, was unrivaled in attack power, and becoming increasingly powerful was only a matter of time.
Therefore, he had absolutely no worries about his own safety.
But his comrades on the ship were different.
What if a particularly troublesome enemy attacked them? He wouldn't be able to protect them all... The Barrier-Barrier Fruit just happened to fill this gap!
Once the impenetrable barrier appeared, forming an absolute defense, enveloping all his comrades, with perfect protection, the rest was entirely up to him!
Obtaining the Barrier-Barrier Fruit meant having the ability to protect everyone!
"Barrier-Barrier Fruit... this is a great treasure! Hehe, now it's mine!"
Ye Jia was ecstatic and forgot to stop his light-speed punches that were furiously pounding Bloody Sword Passis.
"Captain!"
The Bloody Sword Pirate Crew members watched Passis twitching uncontrollably as if electrocuted, his body riddled with concave dents from Ye Jia's light-speed punches, blood splattering everywhere. They were so scared their legs trembled.
"Stop it!"
Bang!
One of the crew members directly raised his gun and fired at Ye Jia.
But would bullets work against a Logia-type Devil Fruit user?
The answer was obvious.
The bullets passed straight through Ye Jia's body, causing him no harm whatsoever.
"Logia-type ability users are too terrifying! We can't fight him, run!"
The crew members screamed in terror and turned to flee.
Whoosh—
Ye Jia raised his hand and unleashed a laser beam.
A yellow beam of light shot out, followed by a series of "boom boom boom" explosions.
All of these crew members died on the spot.
In contrast, Bloody Sword Passis was covered in blood, his eyes rolled back, completely devoid of any power to fight back, but he still had a breath.
"Not bad, you've taken three thousand punches from me and you're not dead yet. As expected of a great pirate with a 33 million Beri bounty, you're different! Again!"
The Barrier-Barrier Fruit fragments rapidly increased.
However, Ye Jia also noticed that the chance of fruit fragments dropping was gradually decreasing.
Previously, Ye Jia could easily get a Devil Fruit with just three thousand punches, but now he had already thrown three thousand punches and was heading towards four thousand, yet he had collected less than half the fragments!
"Bloody Sword Passis, you have to hold on!"
Ye Jia silently chanted.
This was a very strange scene.
He was clearly punching his enemy to death.
Yet in his heart, he was praying that the enemy wouldn't die too quickly, but would hold on a little longer...
Ye Jia could be considered the number one "pervert" in the One Piece world.
"Five thousand punches now, how are there only 67 fragments?"
Ye Jia stopped punching.
Bloody Sword Passis's body swayed precariously. Everything that should be broken was broken, and everything that should be swollen was swollen. After Ye Jia ceased his attack, he couldn't stand steadily for long and immediately collapsed to the ground.
However, despite being so severely injured, he still showed no signs of losing his breath.
"Damn it... damn it... a Logia-type ability user. You want to kill me, but I'm not that easy to beat to death!"
"Ah!!!"
Bloody Sword Passis roared, and somehow, his skin turned crimson, and his muscles swelled up like balloons.
In the blink of an eye, Bloody Sword Passis transformed from a 1.8-meter tall strongman, gradually expanding and enlarging into a terrifying, three-meter tall monster with abnormally large muscles!
"You think my 33 million Beri bounty is for nothing? This is my final form! My strength, speed, and defense will increase by more than tenfold... You're finished! Die!"
Bloody Sword Passis roared.
Ye Jia, seeing this, chuckled mischievously.
"Bloody Sword Passis... I truly thank you!"
Ye Jia laughed. "I was just worrying about not being able to gather enough Barrier-Barrier Fruit fragments directly to synthesize it. Your trump card has really helped me a lot!"
With that, Ye Jia's eyes flashed.
Light Speed Punch!
