The Chapter get Retranslated
"Oops, sorry, I used a little too much force just now and accidentally broke his cervical spine," Ye Jia said nonchalantly, retracting his foot. "He's probably stopped breathing by now, right?"
"You... who are you?!" Dresden was startled by the sudden intruder. He quickly retreated a few steps, putting distance between himself and Ye Jia, and asked with a trembling voice.
"Me? You can call me the God of Death." Ye Jia smiled, turning to glance at the swordsman Qiuli, who was equally shocked but didn't know what was going on. "This swordsman is mine."
A look of surprise flashed in Qiuli's eyes. He grew curious about this uninvited guest. What kind of person would openly defy Dresden? He himself was a prime example of someone who wanted to kill Dresden, yet he was tied up here, his life almost gone.
God of Death? He had never heard of that title in these waters.
"Where did this guy come from? Soldiers! Open fire, kill this unknown assailant!" Dresden frantically shouted.
The soldiers, already aiming, received the order and were about to fire—
Boom!
Hundreds of lightning bolts suddenly descended from the sky, striking the soldiers with a furious roar! The soldiers were instantly charred, not even having time to pull their triggers before their breath ceased, and they fell to the ground.
"Wh-what's going on?! Soldiers! Soldiers! Where did that lightning come from?!" Dresden was so shocked he couldn't speak. His ugly head darted around, trying to find the culprit who unleashed the lightning.
He searched and searched, finally fixing his gaze on Ye Jia, whose hand still held a trace of electric snake.
"It's you! You killed my soldiers!" Dresden shrieked.
"Yes, that's right, it was me. What's wrong? It's just killing a bunch of your running dogs, why are you so scared?" Ye Jia shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh, by the way, don't you know Blood Blade Paxis? Call him out, I'm short on supplies!"
In Ye Jia's eyes, Blood Blade Paxis was just a "money-sending boy." He was just worried about not having new strong individuals to provide him with Devil Fruits. Conveniently, Blood Blade Paxis's bounty of 33 million Beli wouldn't disappoint him, right?
"Nonsense! How could I possibly know a great pirate like Blood Blade Paxis?!" Dresden's face showed no fear when Ye Jia mentioned Blood Blade Paxis's name. He knew the other party had come prepared, and he couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.
"You don't know him? If you don't, then I'm very curious, how did you capture Qiuli... He's a hero who's slain pirates with bounties of 28 million Beli. Without Blood Blade Paxis's help, do you think your bunch of useless subordinates could capture him?" Ye Jia sneered, glancing at Dresden with disdain.
"I... I..." Dresden stammered, unable to speak for a long time.
"What's wrong? You have the guts to collude with pirates and oppress the common people of Moska Island, but you don't have the guts to call him out to clean up this mess for you?" Ye Jia narrowed his eyes and smiled. "If he doesn't step in, your life might be forfeit... Think about the lightning that struck your soldiers just now, how many times do you think you can withstand it?"
As he spoke, Ye Jia deliberately took a step closer, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Dresden was so frightened that he repeatedly backed away, stumbled, and fell off the execution platform, landing face first in the dirt!
"Paxis! Come out! Come out quickly, Paxis! If you don't come out, he'll kill me!" Dresden finally couldn't overcome his fear and shouted Paxis's name loudly.
The many common people of Moska Island present began to stir upon hearing Dresden's words.
"Dresden is an idiot!"
Hidden among the crowded people was a group, all bearing a blood blade mark on their chests. The leader was a guy with a "Pineapple Head" hairstyle, looking like a hooligan, hands in his pockets. Hearing Dresden call his name, he gritted his teeth and muttered angrily.
This person was Blood Blade Paxis. A notorious great pirate in the nearby waters, with a bounty of 33 million Beli. He had killed many Marines and committed numerous acts of burning,
killing, and plundering, truly a villain who had done all sorts of evil. If not for the current tight situation, Blood Blade Paxis wouldn't have bothered cooperating with an idiot like Dresden. The fact proved that he had chosen the wrong partner.
"He's provoking him, and I can't believe he's so impatient, directly exposing me!" Blood Blade Paxis wished he could slash Dresden to death with a sword. Could he not see such an obvious trap? Was that ugly head on his shoulders only for holding water?
"Captain, that guy is an Ability User!" one of the Blood Blade Pirates crew members said. "And he can conjure lightning out of thin air, he's very likely a Logia-type Ability User... It's best we don't provoke someone like that."
The Blood Blade Pirates still had some self-awareness. To them, Ability Users were all troublesome individuals, and the rumored Logia-type Ability Users were even more formidable; encountering one would lead to big trouble. They didn't want to provoke a Devil Fruit User; it was too unwise.
"I understand that, of course!" Blood Blade Paxis said. "This guy appeared on the execution platform without a sound and kicked the executioner away... From his strength, he's at the same level as me, plus his erratic Devil Fruit ability, tch! Dresden has really provoked a formidable foe this time!"
After speaking, Blood Blade Paxis turned around and waved his hand. "Let's go, leave that idiot Dresden to his fate here. We'll find other partners."
He wouldn't risk himself for a mere Dresden. What was Dresden anyway? Even if he had connections, he had no personal strength, his only power being to command the soldiers he summoned. Those soldiers... weren't even enough to pick his teeth. Such a weakling, if he lost his life, then he lost it!
As the few people turned to leave, their movements suddenly halted.
"It seems my guess was correct. You guys were indeed hiding on Moska Island, and with all this commotion, if you didn't come to join the fun, how would you pass the boring time?" Ye Jia said with a smile, now sitting on a tiger-skin stool in front of Blood Blade Paxis, legs crossed.
Actually, after Ye Jia quickly explored the entire square, he finally found Blood Blade Paxis. There was no other way, as Blood Blade Paxis and his crew were so high-profile,
even tattooing the blood blade mark on themselves, making it hard not to recognize them. So Ye Jia immediately returned to his ship, brought his tiger-skin stool, and made a strong show of force.
"Kid, don't be so arrogant!" The Blood Blade Pirates' crew saw the suddenly appearing Ye Jia, their internal alarms blaring. They quickly drew their weapons, taking a fighting stance, their eyes becoming sharp.
"Arrogant?" Ye Jia scoffed uncaringly. "If I were in front of the strong, this would be called arrogance. But in front of the weak, this isn't called arrogance... It's called mockery!"
