"No… no…"
Ye Fan shook his head; these people had no reason to live.
What is a woman to a protagonist? She is his reverse scale.
A dragon has a reverse scale; touch it, and you die.
The Tiger Pirates watched Ye Fan dare to refuse them, each one seething with rage.
"Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"
"Our boss is a great pirate with a bounty of five million Berries! Scared now, aren't you?!"
"It's too late now. We gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. Brothers, kill him!"
"Charge!"
…
Ye Fan truly felt that ignorance was written all over the faces of these people.
Ye Fan showed no fear, remaining calm and composed, without any hint of dread.
One look was enough to know he was not to be trifled with, but these people had no brains and insisted on seeking death.
So Ye Fan had no choice but to send them all to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to unite.
To listen to the Buddha's teachings.
"Ice, heed my call."
A chill emanated from Ye Fan, gradually spreading to the sea surface, then along their ship, causing it to freeze from bottom to top.
"Ah! What's going on?!"
"Why is it suddenly freezing? The sea is freezing, the ship is frozen!"
"Old Wang, what's wrong with you? Run!"
…
In less than ten seconds, the pirate ship became a giant ice sculpture, and all the pirates were frozen solid.
Indeed, only living people could achieve such a lifelike effect.
His current ice ability was becoming stronger and stronger with the improvement of his strength.
Aside from not being able to elementalize his body, it was no different from the Ice-Ice Fruit.
"Huh?"
Ye Fan had thought he had taken care of everyone with one move.
He hadn't expected there to be a straggler on the ship, who was now looking at Ye Fan with a terrified expression, trembling all over, sitting on the ground, his legs constantly kicking.
"You…"
"Are you a Devil Fruit user?"
Regret, endless regret filled Luke Walker's heart; at this moment, he only wanted to live.
He forced his body to remain upright, trying to make his legs obey.
His hands trembled, his knees dropped to the ground, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, his eyes were dazed and terrified, scanning around helplessly, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
"Please spare me, I'm willing to serve you, I'll do anything, just please spare my life!"
Luke's voice was full of pleading and helplessness, as he kept kowtowing.
Ye Fan had seen such a scene just yesterday; such people were not worthy of sympathy.
No wonder he could form his own pirate crew; he still had some strength, unlike those cannon fodder who were directly frozen.
However, this was a reaction made when encountering a powerful person and facing a threat to his life.
If Ye Fan hadn't had such strength, then Nami and his fate would have been unimaginable.
"Ice Blade."
With a thought from Ye Fan, water molecules in the air formed a sharp ice blade, piercing straight forward.
The ice blade condensed, extremely sharp, and mercilessly pierced through the opponent's body.
The moment the ice blade pierced through, Luke Walker looked down at the ice blade in his chest.
His body trembled, his hands tried to grasp something, but he couldn't resist the impact of the ice blade, his lips quivered slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sound.
Finally, he widened his eyes, fell to the ground, his blood stained the ice surface crimson, and a strong smell of blood permeated the air.
Nami, witnessing all of this, was seeing Ye Fan take action for the first time.
Seeing that the danger was over, Nami came out of the room.
The pungent smell of blood and the corpses didn't make her feel any discomfort; she had experienced these things when she was little.
She was used to it!
So she jumped onto the pirate ship to look for useful things.
Ye Fan also jumped on; he was just over ten million Berries short of being able to draw another prize.
Every draw was a new expectation.
Upon boarding the ship, it was very messy, a chaotic mess, indicating that they didn't like to tidy things up.
Soon, Ye Fan arrived at the treasure room, which was usually inside the cabin and easy to find.
"Jie jie jie!"
The glittering treasures were dazzling, though there weren't many things, but there should be tens of millions.
It looked about the same as what he saw at the Othello family, enough for Ye Fan to draw once more.
Ye Fan left the rest for Nami, so she could buy Cocoyasi Village for one hundred million Berries from Arlong.
Ye Fan absorbed just enough to reach one hundred million Berries and then stopped.
He moved all the remaining treasures to his own ship.
Then he would go see if there were any other valuable things, and then this ship could be sunk to the bottom of the sea.
There was no need for it to exist.
"Nami, how is it? Is there anything else you need to take?"
Ye Fan had moved all the edible food, fresh water, treasures, etc., to his own ship, then turned to ask Nami.
While Ye Fan was collecting these things, Nami had searched the ship for a long time and only found a map of the nearby sea area.
There was nothing else.
"No, I've found everything there is to find."
With a light leap, Nami jumped back onto this ship.
Although her strength was not very great, her long legs, combined with the significant physical differences among people in this world, meant she was much stronger than people on Blue Star.
Jumping a distance of three or four meters was no problem at all.
Seeing so much treasure on the deck, Nami's eyes also turned into money signs, and she was extremely happy.
It was clear she was completely obsessed with money.
Ye Fan didn't plan to absorb these remaining tens of millions of Berries; he intended to keep them for use.
After all, purchasing supplies along the way would cost money, so it was better to keep a portion.
It could also be considered a small compensation for the other party.
Ye Fan had his eye on the one hundred million Berries Nami had buried underground in her tangerine orchard, which would be enough for him to draw another prize.
These were all Nami's painful memories, and as her husband, he naturally had to erase these painful memories.
This was something Ye Fan should do.
Nami: "…"
Ye Fan wanted to conduct an experiment to see how large an ice ball he could currently produce with his strength.
Akainu could summon large fireballs, Admiral Fujitora could summon meteorites, and Ye Fan also wanted to try and challenge his own limits.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes, concentrating all his strength and will, with the surrounding sea providing ample moisture.
And at an altitude of five hundred meters from Ye Fan, this was already the limit he could control.
A large amount of moisture began to gather and condense into ice.
Initially, it was an ice ball the size of a ping-pong ball.
Apple, cantaloupe, watermelon, jackfruit... it grew larger and larger.
At first, there was nothing, until the diameter reached ten meters; with every increase, Ye Fan felt the pressure increase.
His body was rapidly depleting, he gritted his teeth and held on, pushing his limits, his limits.
His body began to tremble, and Ye Fan also knelt on one knee; he was reaching his limit, any larger and he wouldn't be able to control it.
Nami also noticed Ye Fan's abnormality and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Are you alright?"
And why did the sky suddenly darken? Were there dark clouds?
She looked up and saw a huge dark cloud above their ship blocking the light.
She didn't realize that this was not a dark cloud at all, but a gigantic ice ball, a spherical body with a diameter of 18 meters.
This was still too far off from Admiral Fujitora.
Although he had the Gravity-Gravity Fruit, his largest sphere had a terrifying size of 700 meters in diameter.
The smallest meteorite was about the same size as what Ye Fan had now.
Ye Fan now had a clear understanding of his own strength.
"Nami, let's set sail; a large ice ball will be falling here soon."
Ye Fan didn't want his hard-earned, decent-looking ship to be destroyed.
Otherwise, he and Nami would have to walk on the ice.
"How is that possible? Although there are dark clouds now, it won't hail."
Nami thought Ye Fan was joking; after all, she was a navigator and was very sensitive to changes in the weather.
It wouldn't hail here.
However, with everything done, she also wanted to return to her village early, so she took control of the ship and set sail.
After traveling a hundred meters or so, with tiny beads of sweat already on his forehead, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, he didn't have to hold on anymore; it seemed this method of training would be the best in the future, much better than those simple training methods.
Holding such a large ice ball, his entire body was exerting effort and consuming energy.
The gigantic ice ball in the high sky plummeted like a meteor, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, tearing through the air, giving an unavoidable sense of oppression.
As the ice ball fell, a heavy aura permeated the air, making people feel an irresistible sense of oppression.
"Nani, what happened?!"
Nami, who was navigating, suddenly felt a powerful oppressive force that made her restless and extremely anxious.
This tense atmosphere made Nami pace back and forth.
"It's nothing, don't be nervous. I was just doing an experiment; look up."
Ye Fan came to her side, put his arm around her, and pointed upwards with his hand, comforting her.
The power was even greater than he had imagined.
Under the effect of gravitational acceleration, the energy generated at the moment of impact with the ground would definitely be explosive.
It was just that the heat generated by friction during the descent caused the ice ball to shrink, losing quite a bit of mass.
Now it was only about 16 meters, still continuously shrinking; by the time it fell, it would probably be only eleven or twelve meters.
At Ye Fan's reminder, Nami looked up at the sky.
"Is that… an ice ball?"
Nami's tone was filled with surprise, and her expression was also very astonished.
She had seen Ye Fan's ability just now, and with his recent reminder, did he create this?
When the ice ball crashed into the sea, it let out a huge roar, as if the earth was trembling.
It violently struck the ship on the sea, stirring up huge waves, instantly shattering the Tiger Pirates' ship and sending it into the icy cold water.
A tremendous impact spread across the sea, stirring up giant waves several zhang high, sweeping up the surrounding seawater and forming terrifying tides.
The seawater churned like a landslide, with surging waves, as if it would swallow the entire sea surface.
Ye Fan's ship sped forward, battered by the waves.
Ye Fan was very satisfied with this move; he could also summon meteorites.
"Wow!"
Nami's mouth hung open in disbelief, looking at the destroyed ship, "So powerful!"
