One Piece: Rise of the Synthesis Pirate

"Boy, you're tired of living! Stop right now!"

When the other thugs saw this, they shouted angrily and rushed over to surround Ye Jia, beating him up in all directions.

They were all quite skilled in fighting, and Ye Jia was no match for any of them. If it weren't for his sneak attack, he wouldn't have been able to easily take down a single thug.

Punch after punch landed on Ye Jia's body, causing him to feel intense pain.

"Let go!"

"I told you to let go!"

"Did you hear me? If you don't let go, I'll kill you!"

The thugs showed no mercy and fiercely kicked and punched Ye Jia.

"Let go? Not a chance!"

Ye Jia gritted his teeth, his eyes turning fierce, and his punches becoming more vicious.

He was like a beast driven into madness, ignoring all the attacks coming from behind, focusing solely on beating one thug relentlessly!

Ye Jia was targeting the face. After landing about ten punches on the thug he had pinned to the ground, the thug's eyes went dizzy, and he lost the strength to fight back. He immediately lost his will to resist.

"Congratulations! You've obtained a 'Glint-Glint Fruit' fragment!"

"Congratulations! You've obtained a 'Glint-Glint Fruit' fragment!"

"Congratulations! You've obtained a 'Glint-Glint Fruit' fragment!"

…

A series of notifications echoed in Ye Jia's mind.

The sweet, mechanical female voice was like a stimulant, making Ye Jia even more ferocious!

"This kid dares to keep holding on! Hit him! Kill him!"

The thugs became even more enraged.

They already had blood on their hands, and now that Ye Jia had angered them, they were in a murderous frenzy, hitting him even harder.

Boom!

The sound was like a drum being struck.

"Wow!"

Ye Jia spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as though his bones were about to shatter. "Fortunately... after three months of training with hunters, my body is tough enough now... just wait... you'll regret this!"

"Just three more fragments! Once I collect enough Glint-Glint Fruit fragments, I'll take your lives!"

Ye Jia roared in his heart.

"Stop it! Stop it!"

Maggie shouted desperately from the side, trying to stop the thugs from attacking Ye Jia. But as a weak woman, she could only helplessly shout in a panic.

The noise attracted many villagers from the nearby Windmill Village.

However, when they saw it was these thugs attacking someone, they all retreated several steps, afraid that the thugs might target them as well and they'd die for no reason.

Finally—

"Congratulations! You've obtained a 'Glint-Glint Fruit' fragment!"

"Congratulations! You've collected enough Glint-Glint Fruit fragments (10/10), would you like to synthesize it?"

The sweet mechanical voice was like a breath of warm air in the winter, moving Ye Jia so much that he almost burst into tears.

"Synthesize! Synthesize it now!"

Ye Jia shouted, almost yelling the words.

Boom!

In his mind, the massive seven-colored cauldron suddenly opened its lid.

The ten Glint-Glint Fruit fragments were thrown inside.

"Synthesizing, please wait…"

A seven-colored progress bar appeared beneath the cauldron and moved at a rapid pace.

Meanwhile, in reality, Ye Jia's body could no longer hold up. One of the thugs kicked him hard, sending him flying.

Ye Jia spat out another mouthful of blood, feeling like his internal organs were being churned. The pain was excruciating.

Boom!

"Congratulations! You've successfully synthesized a 'Glint-Glint Fruit.' Would you like to use it?"

The seven-colored progress bar finished, and the massive cauldron opened once again, revealing a golden, spiraled fruit inside Ye Jia's mind. Then the sweet, mechanical voice echoed again.

"Use it! Use it now!"

Ye Jia shouted.

At that moment, the Glint-Glint Fruit disappeared, and Ye Jia felt a strange sensation within his body. The feeling appeared quickly, then faded just as fast.

"Kid! You're dead today! How dare you lay your hands on us! Go to hell!"

The thugs surged forward again, their killing intent obvious.

They were the toughest bullies in Windmill Village, and if news spread that they couldn't handle a little kid, what would they be worth?

But just as they were about to strike, they found that all their attacks went straight through Ye Jia.

"What's going on?!"

"Why did my foot pass right through his body?"

"This guy's body is made of light!"

The thugs' fists and kicks all seemed to hit empty air, with no effect on Ye Jia's body at all.

They couldn't believe what was happening, so they attacked again, but still couldn't land a blow. They began to panic.

"Heh heh heh heh…"

Ye Jia let out a chilling laugh, his expression even fiercer than the thugs'!

"What? Can't hit me? Is this all you've got?"

Now that he had eaten the Glint-Glint Fruit, his body had turned into light. Unless they had Haki, they couldn't even scratch him!

"Y-you... What's going on?!"

The thugs were stunned. Attacking Ye Jia was like attacking a ghost—completely ineffective.

"I know now... this... this is the power of a Devil Fruit! We can't hit him, he's a Devil Fruit user! Run! We're no match for him, we need to get out of here!"

One of the more knowledgeable thugs realized the truth and trembled in fear.

They didn't know why the person they had just beaten up was suddenly a Devil Fruit user, but they knew very well how terrifying a Devil Fruit user could be. Fighting him was beyond their capabilities!

Immediately, the thug turned and fled the bar, desperate to escape this dangerous situation.

"You hit me, and now you want to run? Too late!"

A flash of light streaked across.

Ye Jia's body directly blocked the thug's escape route.

At the same time, Ye Jia's foot was already raised.

Boom!

The speed was so fast that it seemed to others as if Ye Jia had reached the thug without moving. The thug's body was sent flying and slammed into the wall, screaming in agony... His ribs were shattered.

This was still because Ye Jia had just consumed the Devil Fruit and his power wasn't fully activated; otherwise, a single kick would have been enough to kill him on the spot!

After dealing with one thug, Ye Jia's killing gaze turned to the others.

"Next, it's your turn!"

Ye Jia's voice echoed like a voice from hell, chilling the thugs to the bone. They couldn't suppress the despair that surged in their hearts.
