Chapter 9: Forceful Slaughter! Where is Marine Justice?
"The black coffin disappeared, and all the pirates inside were turned into minced corpses!"
Sengoku's eyelids twitched. He recalled Momonga's previous words, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart as he shouted loudly.
"Bai Ye! Stop!"
The World Government and the Marines were working together; he absolutely could not let all the World Government field agents be...
Sengoku's thoughts hadn't finished falling when he felt a frenzied aura right before his eyes!
Sengoku's Observation Haki permeated through, seeing everything happening inside—
Black blades emerged from the screen of light one after another, carrying chilling cold gleams, slashing straight toward everyone!
Inside, although the special agents were arrogant, they possessed basic strength. Each covered their bodies with Armament Haki, attempting to withstand this strike head-on!
However, this attempt was destined to be in vain!
Ding ding dang dang! The sounds were ceaseless!
Shadow blades collided with flesh, emitting the sound of metal clashing!
The immense force shook everyone's internal organs, causing them to vomit blood!
"Bastard! Do you know who we are?"
"To dare attack the World Government, do you want to be wanted by the whole world?!"
The special agents quickly felt they had suffered heavy injuries. Their support was crumbling, and they could perish at any moment.
They shouted sternly one after another, attempting to make this unscrupulous maniac fear for his life right there!
Bai Ye's expression was ice-cold, carrying a dense aura of slaughter!
As if he wouldn't be wanted if he didn't offend them—this kind of threat was simply laughable!
"Black Coffin... Blade Kill!"
Bai Ye's voice was grim. His palm suddenly reached forward and clenched tight!
The thousand-foot black coffin instantly contracted, and the screen of light became increasingly solid.
In the distance, Sengoku's eyelids jumped, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.
As the black light screen became more solid, even his Observation Haki was completely blocked outside, unable to investigate what was happening inside!
"Bai Ye! I told you to stop!"
Sengoku couldn't just watch helplessly as World Government field agents were slaughtered by Bai Ye right before his eyes. With a roar, he stomped one foot on the deck. The immense force caused the entire warship to sink slightly!
Sengoku's speed was extremely fast, like instantaneous movement, appearing instantly in front of the black light screen!
His right hand formed a fist, a golden brilliance flickering in his palm.
"Buddha's Fury! Shatter!"
Boom!
As the fist fell, it seemed as if the entire Whiskey Peak was shaking. Even the previous rounds of bombardment didn't create as much clamor as Sengoku's single strike!
"Hiss... worthy of being the future Fleet Admiral..."
Bai Ye bore the full brunt of the force. Even he could no longer maintain the stability of the Black Coffin.
The black light screen gradually cracked open. The World Government agents saw the brilliance outside spilling in, and the unease in their hearts disappeared, replaced by ridicule and mockery towards Bai Ye!
"You dared to attack us! You will die without a burial place!"
"A Devil Fruit user? Suitable to be taken back and sliced up for research!"
"Vice Admiral Sengoku, keep this kid alive for us!"
Someone looked at Bai Ye with a vicious gaze. The World Government's research on Devil Fruit users had continued for centuries.
Those researched could be said to be living a life worse than death!
Bai Ye dared to threaten them; they had to make him beg for life and death alike!
Bai Ye's eyes were intense, his voice ice-cold.
"Live? I didn't agree to that!"
As soon as his voice fell, the Black Coffin shattered, turning into black shards of light filling the sky, drifting down.
The crowd felt the attacking force weaken greatly. They assumed Bai Ye was just being stubborn like a dead duck. No one took it to heart, eagerly instructing Sengoku one by one.
"Quickly clear the living people from the mountain range. Afterward, we will be responsible for handling the collection of the Heavenly Gold!"
Bai Ye looked at them, turned the tip of his blade, and slashed down toward the void!
"Ten Thousand Blade Hunt!"
The shards of shadow flying all over the sky seemed to solidify at this moment, once again coming under Bai Ye's control!
Every inch of light and shadow disintegrated again, turning into light shards only the size of a thumb!
A chilling coldness gathered within those countless lights and shadows!
The surrounding soil and house wreckage were pulled, as if drawn by immense force, instantly developing extremely deep cracks!
Boundless killing intent shrouded the area. Bai Ye's gaze upon them was like looking at corpses, without a single ripple of emotion!
"Die!"
Pfft pfft!
Streams of blood spurted out, converging like a fountain of blood!
Thinking they were saved, showing cruel faces and considering how to retaliate against Bai Ye, their bodies gradually shattered!
Skin, internal organs, flesh, bones—under the boundless sharp blades, everything was shattered inch by inch, unable to resemble their original forms in the slightest!
Even Sengoku didn't have time to react.
Ultimately, he was a taijutsu powerhouse. Even transformed into a golden body, he couldn't block the pervasive sky full of black blades!
Bai Ye felt exhilarated in his heart, praising the Hōgyoku!
Before fusing with the Hōgyoku, he absolutely didn't have such control!
After only a few days of adaptation, it actually allowed him to command the released power as easily as moving his arms. Truly a supreme treasure!
"Bai Ye! Killing people in front of me, you have such guts!"
Sengoku's expression was so gloomy it could almost drip water as he rebuked angrily.
"Double-standard dog!"
Bai Ye glanced sideways, his voice cold.
"Killing some scum, and you get so anxious!"
Sengoku spoke grandly:
"Those are sinners who refused to pay the Heavenly Gold! It is only right for them to be punished by the World Government!"
"Sinners?"
Bai Ye sneered. If Sengoku wanted a war of words, he would accompany him.
"When pirates visit an island, they mostly rob some treasure. For the people, that's just a few months of savings emptied."
"But paying the Heavenly Gold to the World Government, that enormous amount is enough to drag down duchy after duchy!"
"Like vampires attaching themselves to the common people, making everyone work for the Celestial Dragons their entire lives, wanting the whole world to be nothing but slaves to the Celestial Dragons!"
"So-called justice? What a joke!"
Sengoku's heart gradually sank. From the corner of his eye, he saw many Marines showing hesitation amidst Bai Ye's questioning. He knew he couldn't let this continue.
This kid had a poisonous tongue; it was better not to talk and just act directly!
Sengoku made up his mind, his eyes sharp as knives, roaring:
"Destroying a Marine Branch, murdering a Marine Vice Admiral! Massacring World Government personnel!"
"Bai Ye, your crimes are too numerous to record!"
"Since we met today, you should pay the price for what you have done!"
Bai Ye chuckled, filled with thick mockery. In the end, didn't they have to fight?
Then let's do it, test the quality of the future Fleet Admiral of the Marines!
"Buddha Transformation!"
Sengoku roared. His figure suddenly enlarged, and his whole body began to flash with golden light!
Like a gilded Buddha statue, standing indomitable in the world!
Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu (Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha)!
Sengoku's power was enough to shatter all strong enemies before his eyes!
