Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Kill Them All, Leave No One Behind
"Flying sword!"
Lucifer chased outside the town, and a dozen flying swords fell, resulting in a dozen more pirates dying.
Boom!
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and jumped in front of Lucifer.
He swung a three-meter-long mace and knocked some of Lucifer's flying swords into the air.
"Damn brat, how dare you kill so many of my subordinates!"
"Die, you brat!"
The man was over three meters tall, with muscles all over his body and scars marking his upper body. He appeared very fierce.
From the tone of his voice, it was obvious that he was the captain of the Lion Majesty Pirates, Snake.
"Flying sword!"
With a wave of Lucifer's finger, a giant flying sword shot out from the air, struck Snake's mace, and sent him flying more than ten meters away!
Snake turned into a cannonball, smashing through a wall and sending his mace flying.
If he hadn't used the mace as a shield, he would have been pierced by the giant sword long ago.
"It actually blocked it!"
Lucifer was a little surprised; after all, this was the first pirate who could withstand his attack.
Although Lucifer hadn't even used one-thousandth of his strength, this pirate was already considered "strong."
Boom!
Snake crawled out from the ruins, his arms bent and drooping weakly, clearly fractured.
"Damn kid, I won't spare you!"
Snake let out a roar, his eyes wild like those of a lion, and his body began to change.
His neck elongated, his body twisted and softened, and two fangs grew out of his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, Snake transformed into a snake man.
"Shall I go, Orochimaru?"
Lucifer glanced over and thought he saw Orochimaru.
Snake was a user of the Zoan Snake Snake Fruit ability. At this moment, by activating his ability, he had become a snake man.
His body was now over twenty meters long, and the two fangs in his mouth dripped with venom, corroding the ground beneath.
"It has appeared; the captain has used his ability!"
"Snake Fruit: Black Snake Form!"
"No one can stop the captain in this state; that kid is dead!"
"Kill him, Captain Snake!"
"You are the strongest, Captain Snake!"
The pirate soldiers around, seeing Snake use his ability, began to shout.
"Go to hell!"
Snake straightened his enormous snake body, opened his bloody mouth, and lunged at Lucifer.
Those two sharp fangs were Snake's greatest weapons.
The snake fruit is highly poisonous, and Snake relied on this ability to enter the Grand Line from the North Blue.
Looking at the massive snake body, Lucifer didn't dodge; he simply raised his hand slightly.
"Sharp Storm!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the space behind Lucifer split open, unleashing countless flying swords and long knives.
Each flying sword and long knife was extremely sharp, shining with a cold light.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Gouts of blood splashed as Snake's enormous body collapsed, blood flowing everywhere.
Dozens of long swords were lodged in the giant snake's mouth, and his massive body was pierced by the swords, turning him into a hedgehog snake.
In front of Lucifer, Snake had grown in size and become a living target; he could only be beaten mercilessly.
He opened his mouth wide, exposing his greatest weakness to Lucifer, practically seeking death.
"Ding! Host killed Snake and earned 3,500 kill points."
The electronic sound of the system suddenly echoed in Lucifer's mind.
"Kill Points? What is this?"
Lucifer asked, puzzled.
"After the host kills a powerful target, he can earn kill points."
"Use kill points to purchase related items or abilities in the system mall."
"So that's how it is."
Lucifer understood, then asked, "Then why didn't I earn kill points for those I killed before?"
"The targets you killed previously were too weak to count as legitimate targets."
Lucifer grasped the situation.
The so-called "target" must possess a certain level of strength.
Those who were too weak were not eligible to be selected by the system.
The previous kills had all been low-level soldiers of the Black Snake Pirates, so naturally, there were no kill points.
But Black Snake was the captain and had a certain level of strength, thus he provided kill points.
"This is about hunting the strong."
The system's characteristic was clear: it aimed to let Lucifer hunt and kill stronger targets.
Only by doing so could he earn a substantial amount of kill points and access the system mall to purchase items or abilities.
Returning to reality, the pirates watching the battle saw their captain killed so easily in seconds that their legs went weak with fright.
They yelled Snake's name, hoping he would rise again.
"Captain!!!"
"Captain Snake!!"
"Captain, get up quickly! You are destined to become the Pirate King! Get up and deal with this brat!"
"Impossible! How could the captain lose?"
Unfortunately, Snake was far too dead to rise again.
Shouting was useless; it wouldn't change anything.
"I love your captain so much; let's die together!"
Lucifer waved his hand, and the storm of sharp blades in the sky above fell again.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Gouts of blood splattered, and in the blink of an eye, another twenty or thirty pirates lay dead.
"What!!!!"
"Forgive me!!!"
"Please spare my life!"
"I am willing to be your subordinate!!!"
The remaining pirates shouted as they fled, some kneeling to beg for mercy.
But Lucifer showed no mercy and chose to kill them all.
When this group of pirates had robbed the town earlier, those residents had begged in the same way, yet they had shown no mercy, instead killing with even greater ferocity.
The louder the residents begged and cried, the more excited the pirates became.
For such scum, Lucifer wouldn't hold back, even if he couldn't earn kill points for killing them.
Killing them all, leaving no survivors, was the best outcome!
