Yohishi's act of violent deep throating left not only Nami but even Bakar somewhat stunned.
Shock! Shock! Utter shock!
Yohishi's throat bulged, stretched by the Devil Fruit. Nami stared blankly at Yohishi, but quickly reacted.
Slap!
A crisp slap echoed through the night. Most of the Devil Fruit Yohishi had shoved into his mouth was knocked out, but a small portion was swallowed by Yohishi.
Aside from a sore throat from being forced down, he couldn't taste what the Devil Fruit was like.
As the Devil Fruit went down, an unprecedentedly disgusting taste entered Yohishi's mind. He, who hadn't been able to vomit when witnessing the beheading earlier, began to retch violently, but a warm current also spread from his abdomen.
Yohishi's series of actions left Bakar bewildered and then roaring with laughter.
"Kid, if you're looking for death, I'll give you a quick slash. Do you think you can die like that? Hahahaha!"
Compared to Butcher Bakar's mockery, Nami concernedly patted Yohishi's back, but as she patted, her force grew stronger, and she scolded somewhat angrily, "Idiot, even if you're afraid of death, there's no need to commit suicide!"
Though Nami was scolding him, Yohishi had no time to respond. He could feel his body undergoing drastic changes.
Just as Nami was about to pat Yohishi again, a bolt of electricity suddenly sparked from his body, shocking Nami into instantly retracting her hand with a pained cry of "Ah!"
The power of the Devil Fruit diffused within his body, transforming it. His body, weakened by the transmigration and becoming younger, also recovered, and the exhaustion from the adrenaline surge after witnessing death also subsided.
Yohishi was not only changing internally, but externally as well.
His looks could only be described as decent, but his skin was somewhat dark and rough.
In just a few breaths, all of that disappeared. His skin became fair, smooth, and elastic, his facial features were corrected, and even his figure and contours became flawless. Moreover, his skin glowed with an inexplicable aura.
Most importantly, Yohishi's appearance, if his previous looks were a seven out of ten, now they had broken through the hundred percent limit.
He was as elegant as a jade tree, with unparalleled grace; a plethora of words could be heaped upon him.
"Yohishi!"
Although the lamplight at the bow was very dim, Yohishi's body seemed to be glowing. When Nami clearly saw Yohishi's face, she called out somewhat dazedly.
Although Nami hadn't fully matured yet, and combined with malnutrition, she was still a bit green, she was already a top-tier woman. This made Nami completely uninterested in ordinary men, but upon seeing Yohishi's face again, she felt her heart pounding wildly, forgetting all danger. She only wanted to look at that face forever.
All negative statuses on his body vanished, and at this moment, Yohishi felt his entire body filled with power.
Yohishi, who had been lying on the ground, stood up and looked at Bakar.
Even though he preferred women, when Bakar saw Yohishi's face now, his heart also began to pound.
Yohishi's charm points were maxed out; he could no longer be described with words like 'beautiful' or 'handsome'. Like Empress Boa Hancock, the charm emanating from his Devil Fruit ability was enough to captivate men, women, old, and young alike.
While Bakar was mesmerized by Yohishi's beauty, Yohishi had already made his move against him.
Yohishi raised his hand, pointing it at Bakar, arcs of electricity sparking from his arm, and a blue-white lightning bolt shot from Yohishi's palm.
Boom!
The lightning pierced through the air, and the heated, expanding air created a sonic boom.
Everyone just saw a flash of light and heard a roar, then saw Bakar's hair stand on end, his chest scorched black from the electric shock, and branching discharge patterns covering his skin.
The lightning strike directly pierced Bakar and hit the wall behind him, causing the wooden ship's hull to catch fire.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Nami's intrusion, and Bakar throwing one of the prostitutes as a weapon, had already terrified the two prostitutes in the Captain's cabin who hadn't been affected. The sudden lightning strike made the two women shriek even louder.
Perhaps because Yohishi had just eaten the Devil Fruit and hadn't mastered his abilities, or perhaps the people of the One Piece World had stronger resistance to lightning and very powerful life forces, Bakar did not die, even though he was scorched all over.
Bakar, despite suffering a heavy blow, did not fall. Instead, like a wounded tiger, he launched a final counterattack, swinging his greatsword to cleave Yohishi in half.
Facing Bakar, who was as fierce as a tiger and lunging at him, Yohishi did not choose to dodge; he simply stood there.
The dazzling lightning had already roused Nami from Yohishi's beauty. Seeing that Yohishi didn't dodge Bakar's fatal cleave, Nami was somewhat terrified.
"Yohishi!"
Although Nami gave a warning, it was already too late!
Seeing Yohishi not dodge, but stand there in a daze, Butcher Bakar thought the kid in front of him was scared witless, and a hint of smugness appeared on his ferocious face.
Butcher Bakar's powerful slash, strong enough to cut down giant trees and split mountains and rocks, was met by Yohishi slowly raising his hand to block it. The slash, capable of splitting mountains and rocks, simply landed on Yohishi's fair, slender hand.
In Butcher Bakar's imagination, one swing of his blade would surely cleave the brat who had harmed him in two, but that didn't happen.
The large, razor-sharp sword Butcher Bakar had bought at a high price, sharp enough to cut a hair blown against it, failed to harm Yohishi in the slightest. The keen blade struck his hand, but couldn't even break his delicate skin.
"How is that possible!"
Butcher Bakar looked at Yohishi in disbelief, and Nami, who had been badly frightened, also stared at Yohishi in shock. Neither of them understood why Yohishi's slender arm could defend against the cleaving sword.
Before Butcher Bakar could react, Yohishi made his move.
He unleashed a white aura from his fist, forming a white energy shield, and punched Butcher Bakar squarely in the chest.
Crack!
The air produced a shattering sound, and several tiny cracks appeared on the surface of his fist.
Boom!
The power of vibration exploded, creating a terrifying shockwave that transformed into a violent hurricane. Butcher Bakar, struck in the chest by Yohishi's punch, flew backward like a cannonball.
Large gouts of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs, spewed from Butcher Bakar's mouth. Yohishi's vibrating punch must have shattered Butcher Bakar's internal organs.
Butcher Bakar, flying backward, crashed through the ship's hull behind him, creating a clear path from front to back through the pirate ship, and then slammed into the sea, raising a huge splash.
In the year 1520 of the Sea Calendar, the infamous great pirate of the East Blue, Butcher Bakar, notorious for his ruthless methods of burning, killing, and plundering, died on an unknown night.
