Bei Haimi was extremely arrogant. Despite being alone, he wasn't worried about the other side making a move. He crossed his arms, exuding an air of defiance.
"Earlier, we asked you to compromise and avoid a fight. We were willing to leave your territory to you, but now it's no longer up to you. We're not giving it back! You wouldn't dare continue fighting us over territory because the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews are already on their way. If you leave now and choose not to fight us, the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews will also abandon their plans to deal with you. But if you insist on continuing this fight, then you're finished."
"Of course, the latter option would be utterly foolish. You should know what the right choice is."
This made Xia Ling and the other crew members' expressions turn grim. Although they were eager to take action, they couldn't. If it weren't for the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews, they would have already acted. But now, they had to be rational.
Xia Ling warned, "If you return our territory to us, there won't be a war. If you don't, a war will break out. Not only will we face trouble from the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews, but so will you, right? So, give us back our territory. Otherwise, even knowing the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews are coming, we'll still fight you."
Her words made the members of the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews' eyes light up.
"That's right, let's fight!"
"Don't back down, let's do it!"
"Don't get too excited. It's probably just a bluff. They won't actually start a fight."
One of the executives voiced his thoughts. Jin Mo didn't say anything, believing it was just a scare tactic. The likelihood of a fight breaking out was low, and even if it did, it wouldn't result in significant casualties. No one would be that foolish.
Bei Haimi wasn't the least bit afraid and laughed heartily.
"You think I'm scared? I don't believe you'll actually make a move. I'm right here. Come and hit me! Hahaha, you're just fuming, glaring at me, but you won't dare lay a hand on me. If you do, it'll lead to a conflict with us. And even if a fight breaks out, we won't engage head-on. We'll use hit-and-run tactics to stall until the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews arrive. By then, we'll have minimal casualties, while you'll definitely suffer losses, even if they're small. And you'll still have to deal with the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews."
"So, don't even think about getting your territory back. If you fight, you're just digging your own grave."
This made Xia Ling and the others' expressions darken. It seemed their bluff hadn't worked, and Bei Haimi was certain they wouldn't act rashly.
Although many crew members were eager to fight, they knew they couldn't act impulsively. If they did, they'd be facing four pirate crews.
Even though they were confident in their crew's strength, they also knew the situation was extremely dangerous.
Xia Ling's expression was grave. She had no intention of taking action. Although she knew Ye Yu was strong, she also understood that even with him, they might not be able to handle this crisis.
So, they couldn't let this crisis escalate. They couldn't fight.
As long as they didn't fight, the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews would withdraw.
After all, they hadn't arrived in full force. Facing the entire Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews wouldn't act rashly. If they did, they'd also pay a heavy price.
They would definitely choose to withdraw, wait until they had enough reinforcements, and then gather the full strength of both crews to attack in fifteen days.
Xia Ling's thoughts were correct; the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirates indeed had the same mindset. If a fight didn't break out, they would simply withdraw.
Lin Muxue's expression turned grim, and she stopped munching on sunflower seeds, realizing that a confrontation was unlikely.
Everyone in Dragon Country also knew that this live broadcast wouldn't escalate into a major battle.
Bai Shaohan sighed lightly, "Even if we replaced the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew with our strongest pirate crew, we wouldn't choose to fight. That would indeed be creating a crisis for ourselves. Although my Tremor-Tremor Fruit is powerful, it also consumes a lot of stamina."
Other major pirate crews shared the same sentiment. They believed the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew wouldn't engage in battle because, in terms of overall strength, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew might not even surpass these top-tier pirate crews.
At this moment, Ye Ming and Sha La had already returned to their base camp, watching the live broadcast in high spirits.
"Hahaha, seeing their troubled expressions is so satisfying."
"They must be regretting it now. Earlier, they suggested giving their territory to us, but now, even without a fight, they won't get their territory back."
"They must be furious."
...
Lu Qi sighed, "I feel a slight sense of regret. I was really looking forward to a fight. With the whole world watching, I wanted to showcase the strength of our Sandstorm Pirates and let the world know how formidable I, Lu Qi, am."
Shi Jian, the user of the Stone-Stone Fruit, also expressed regret, "Yes, it would have been better if the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirates hadn't shown up. I really wanted to prove the might of our Rakshasa Pirates and the power of my Stone-Stone Fruit through a battle with the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew."
Ye Tong confidently added, "And it would have let the world know about the bug-level abilities of my Child-like Fruit, as well as elevate our Captain's reputation. The String-String Fruit might not sound impressive, but our Captain is truly formidable."
Li Si sighed, "What a pity. I was planning to use my Explosion Fruit to take out their lower-tier crew members and let Ye Yu experience the power of my Explosion Fruit. Now, I won't get the chance."
At this, they all put on a show of regret, acting as if they were eager for a fight.
...
Meanwhile, Bei Haimi casually walked over and sat down on a throne-like chair that originally belonged to the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew's base.
Many crew members of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew were furious. Some even stepped forward, unable to hold back their urge to attack, but were stopped by others.
"Calm down."
The crew members were relieved to be restrained, as they had almost lost their composure.
Xia Ling frowned; that seat was originally hers.
Bei Haimi leaned back in the chair, crossing his legs, growing increasingly arrogant and unafraid.
"Hahaha, seeing how much you want to hit me but can't is so satisfying. Especially since it's just me against all of you. It makes it even more enjoyable."
Zhao Yan'er angrily retorted, "Do you really think we don't dare to attack? Don't get too cocky!"
Bei Haimi laughed maniacally, "Hahaha, I am cocky, and what can you do about it? If you want to fight, just think about it. The Flying Sky and Overlord Pirates are on their way. If a fight breaks out, we'll drag it out, using guerrilla tactics. By the time they arrive, even if we're all exhausted, you'll be more worn out. Then, the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirates, facing three pirate crews with minimal casualties, will only target you. After all, it's your Captain Ye Yu who caused this mess by provoking the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirates."
"These two pirate crews won't dare to fight us. Dealing with all three of us at once would be too much for them, so only you will face the danger. So, when you think about attacking me, remember this. That way, you'll be able to hold back."
After finishing his words, Bei Haimi sighed, "This chair feels really nice, so comfortable. Later, I'll go pee at your base. From now on, your base will be our restroom, hahaha."
Xia Ling and the crew members clenched their fists tightly, filled with anger but unable to act.
Bei Haimi provocatively raised his right hand and beckoned towards the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew.
"Come on, come hit me, hahaha, do you dare? You don't dare, you can only endure, hahaha."
Bei Haimi stood up, ready to head to the nearby base, taunting.
"I'm going to pee at your base now, what can you do about it? You can only endure, only leave this city in frustration."
Bei Haimi put his hands behind his back, lifted his head, nostrils flaring, and swaggered towards the base to relieve himself.
All of this was being watched by many people around the world.
Many were furious.
"I'm so angry."
"Too arrogant."
"There's no choice, they've got the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew pinned down, they won't dare to fight."
"Can't act, can only endure."
...
Bei Haimi arrived at the base entrance and exclaimed, "This feels great, I'm going to pee at your base, it's not just about causing trouble, you can only endure, hahaha, keep enduring. After I finish, you'll still have to endure, watching me leave and return to our Rakshasa Pirates' headquarters."
At the headquarters, Yaksha and the Storm Pirates were watching the scene.
Shi Jian regretfully said, "I should have gone, letting Bei Haimi show off like that in front of them, and nothing happened, it feels so good."
Li Si nodded in agreement, "I regret it too, knowing this, no matter what, they wouldn't dare to make a sound, I would have been arrogant in front of them, and they could only endure."
Lu Qi sighed lightly, "We have to thank Flying Sky and the Overlord Pirates, without them, we really couldn't be this arrogant."
Ye Ming and Sha La also had smiles on their faces.
But suddenly, their expressions changed drastically!
In the scene, a figure appeared!
At that moment, Xia Ling and the others were about to leave, when suddenly, a figure rushed towards Bei Haimi at an extremely fast speed!
The speed was fast, but it was barely discernible, mainly because they could see a bit of the weapon, it was the Black Blade Night!
The one charging towards Bei Haimi was Ye Yu, who had returned!
Bei Haimi was just about to enter the base to relieve himself when his expression changed drastically. By the time he looked over, Ye Yu's figure was already rapidly enlarging in his vision! In the blink of an eye, he was close, moving at an incredible speed!
That face, naturally commanding, with cold eyes and a low expression, exuding an overwhelming Haki, causing him to instinctively tremble.
Bei Haimi quickly crouched down, his calves compressing like springs, ready to spring away, while signaling to himself not to panic, Ye Yu must not know, if he knew, he would definitely endure!
"Ye Yu! Haven't you seen the trending news! Flying Sky and the Overlord Pirates are on their way, they'll fight us first, then face them, you're doomed! So, even if you're angry, you can only endure!"
However, Bei Haimi's eyes widened, Ye Yu's figure did not stop!
Whoosh!
Bei Haimi's Spring Legs instantly propelled him forward like an arrow shot from a bow. After colliding with a nearby wall, his head, acting like a spring, rebounded and continued to ricochet off surrounding structures, gaining speed with each bounce. He then adjusted his trajectory, aiming to launch himself toward their base.
Bei Haimi felt much more at ease. At this speed, everything around him would blur, and he believed that even Ye Yu, who possessed the strongest Conqueror's Haki, wouldn't be able to strike him while he was moving at such high velocity...
However, in the next instant, his thoughts came to an abrupt halt!
Ye Yu suddenly appeared above the rapidly bouncing Bei Haimi, his right fist clenched and coated in Armament Haki, and he delivered a devastating blow straight to Bei Haimi's head.
Boom!!
Crash!!
Bei Haimi was immediately halted in his high-speed movement and plummeted straight down, crashing into the ground with a deafening impact, creating a deep crater. Debris flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
Even though his body was spring-like, the force was overwhelming.
If the force wasn't strong enough, the spring could bounce back, but with sufficient power, even a spring could be flattened into a lump.
In the crater, Bei Haimi was bleeding profusely from his head, his face completely drenched in blood. His entire body was in excruciating pain, and he was vomiting blood in large amounts.
Ye Yu landed, his right foot stomping hard on Bei Haimi's head, driving him deeper into the ground. Bei Haimi swallowed several mouthfuls of dirt, and several of his teeth shattered from the impact, causing him to scream in agony.
As the dust settled, everyone from the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, the Yaksha, the Storm Pirate Crew, the Flying Sky of the seas, the Overlord Pirates, and viewers from all over the world watching the live broadcast saw the scene clearly.
Through the live feed, they all witnessed what happened next.
Ye Yu stood with his foot on Bei Haimi's head, looking down at him with a cold, icy gaze, and he roared in anger.
"You think I'll just tolerate this?"
"I'll tolerate your mother's ass!!!"
