ALL NOVEL Chapter 13: The Fall of One-Eyed Barion
"The-The captain... has been taken down!"
The crew members trembled at the sight before them, almost collapsing from sheer terror.
Who is this guy?
How can someone just vanish and reappear at will?
And to take down their captain, the infamous One-Eyed Barion with a 26-million bounty, in just one move?
"Shoot! Fire at him!"
The panicked shouts echoed among the crew.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets rained down, forming a web of firepower aimed at Ye Jia.
However, Ye Jia showed no intention of dodging, letting the bullets strike his body.
"If you lot could hurt me, you'd already be in the New World by now!"
Ye Jia smirked. "But don't worry, your lives still have one last bit of value—to give me stamina pills!"
He vanished again.
In an instant, Ye Jia appeared in front of a crew member, lifting his foot.
"Light-Speed Barrage!"
In one second, he unleashed over a thousand kicks. The crew member convulsed as if electrocuted, his body left mangled beyond recognition.
"Congratulations, you've obtained one Stamina Pill Fragment!"
"Congratulations, you've obtained one Stamina Pill Fragment!"
"Congratulations, you've obtained one Stamina Limit Fragment!"
The sweet mechanical voice echoed in Ye Jia's mind as rewards poured in.
"Stamina Limit Fragment?"
It was the first time Ye Jia had encountered this rare item.
Stamina Limit Pill: Permanently increases maximum stamina! (1/30)
The implications were astounding. With the potential for infinite stamina growth, Ye Jia's power could know no bounds.
"Unlimited growth... Could I eventually reach a point where one punch destroys the entire One Piece world?"
The idea thrilled him. Four Emperors? Admirals? Fleet Admirals? All would crumble before him with a single blow!
"Still... this drop rate is abysmal."
Despite its immense potential, Ye Jia knew collecting fragments for a Stamina Limit Pill would be an arduous journey. But he didn't despair. After all, he was in the early stages of building his power. Every fragment counted.
"Light-Speed Kick!"
Recognizing the value of the crew, Ye Jia carefully avoided one-hit kills, opting instead for prolonged battles to maximize fragment drops.
The crew, seeing their comrades falling one by one, panicked.
"He's too strong! Run for it!"
"He's a monster! A monster!"
"Mom, I want to go home!"
One by one, they abandoned ship, plunging into the sea in a desperate bid to escape.
"Fleeing into the water? That's troublesome. Guess I'll just have to finish this quickly."
Bzzt—
Electric currents surged across Ye Jia's body, enveloping him in dazzling lightning like a deity of thunder.
"Three Million Volts: Discharge!"
Ye Jia extended his hand toward the sea, unleashing a surge of electricity.
BOOM!
Three million volts spread across the water, electrocuting all the fleeing crew members. Fish in the vicinity were not spared either, floating lifelessly to the surface.
"How boring. Couldn't they have dropped some stamina pill fragments? Whatever... They weren't my real target anyway."
With the small fry dealt with, Ye Jia made his way to the lower deck, where a gravely injured One-Eyed Barion lay, coughing blood and barely clinging to consciousness.
"You..." Barion stared in terror, unable to speak as Ye Jia advanced.
"Light-Speed Punch!"
Over a thousand punches per second pummeled Barion. Even a veteran pirate with a 26-million bounty stood no chance against the relentless barrage.
"Congratulations, you've obtained a Healing Fruit Fragment!"
"Congratulations, you've obtained a Healing Fruit Fragment!"
"Congratulations, you've obtained a Healing Fruit Fragment!"
Healing Fruit?
Ye Jia recalled the diminutive princess of the Tontatta Kingdom, also a Healing Fruit user.
"Interesting. Healing Fruits are immensely useful. Can't miss this chance!"
Without mercy, Ye Jia continued his assault.
Three seconds later, Barion exhaled his last breath.
"Enduring almost three thousand punches? Not bad."
Satisfied, Ye Jia watched as the Healing Fruit fragments reached completion.
"Combine Healing Fruit!"
Throwing 100 fragments into the synthesis cauldron, Ye Jia waited as the fruit formed.
Just as the process completed, he noticed movement.
In a dark corner of the room, a group of women huddled together, trembling.
"I see..."
Ye Jia squinted.
Casually, he stomped down on Barion's already mutilated head, crushing it completely.
"Trash like him doesn't even deserve a complete corpse."
