Pressure!
An endless, suffocating pressure descended, crushing down on Rabiz's body, squeezing every single cell.
Driven by instinct, he stumbled backward several steps. His eyes were filled with dense terror as he stared at Raifeng. His face had turned deathly pale, completely drained of color.
The sea wind roared.
The pungent stench of blood surged forward and flooded into his nostrils.
Fear exploded violently in his heart!
Drip!
Fresh blood slid down the katana in Raifeng's hand and fell onto the deck. The spreading blood quickly dyed the surrounding planks, glaring to the eye.
"What… what kind of monster are you?!"
Rabiz stared at Raifeng in terror, fear written clearly across his face.
He was a pirate with a bounty exceeding one hundred million Berries—
Yet at this very moment, standing before Raifeng, his courage had completely shattered.
Too strong!
This was the first time Rabiz had ever faced an existence so terrifying!
And the most horrifying part was—
The opponent was only a seven-year-old child!
"A bounty over a hundred million Berries?"
"So that's all? I'm rather disappointed. I used to have some expectations of pirates with bounties like that."
Raifeng smiled faintly and shook his head.
He said no more.
Slowly, he raised the katana in his hand.
The blade was sharp, exuding a chilling pressure.
Blood slid down from the blade, revealing the intricate patterns etched into it.
Cold!
A bone-piercing cold spread through Rabiz's body.
"S-Spare my life… everything can be discussed…"
Rabiz panicked.
He staggered forward, begging.
Raifeng was simply too strong.
Despite his young age, he gave Rabiz not the slightest chance to resist.
That overwhelming power crushed Rabiz's mental state completely!
"So weak…"
"So this is what a pirate with a bounty over a hundred million looks like? Disappointing."
Raifeng stepped forward, closing the distance one step at a time.
"Don't… don't…"
Rabiz kept retreating.
Until—
His back hit the ship's railing.
No retreat left!
No escape!
He raised his head.
His eyes were filled with terror as he stared at Raifeng. His body trembled uncontrollably.
At this moment, Rabiz finally understood.
The Marines hadn't sent a child to board their ship.
They hadn't sent someone to die.
They had sent—
A monster.
A monster capable of easily wiping out their entire pirate crew!
Raifeng was too strong!
Even showing just this much strength was enough to plunge Rabiz into absolute despair.
He couldn't even see Raifeng's movements.
What could he fight with?
What could he resist with?
Rabiz suddenly realized—
One day…
He, a pirate with a bounty exceeding one hundred million, would be completely crushed by a seven-year-old child!
"How can a kid this young possess such terrifying strength?!"
"What kind of training did the Marines give this monster?!"
"At this age, to be this strong… this is insane!"
Rabiz fell into deep doubt.
He even questioned whether he was still living in the real world.
Compared to Raifeng—
He had lived all these years for nothing.
"This ship has a lot of treasure… all accumulated over many years. I can give it all to you. Just spare my life…"
Rabiz still tried desperately to cling to survival.
Unfortunately—
Raifeng did not listen.
He watched calmly as Rabiz's mental state collapsed completely.
"Kid…"
"Since that's how it is…"
"Then I'll drag you down to hell with me!"
Rabiz's eyes filled with killing intent as he launched a final, desperate counterattack.
He clenched his fists and charged forward.
Too late.
Raifeng was already standing before him.
Their bodies formed a stark contrast—one large, one small.
Rabiz looked pitifully weak.
Raifeng's fist swung down violently, smashing toward Rabiz's head.
Closer.
Closer!
"Success!"
Madness flashed in Rabiz's eyes.
Then—
A flash of blade light!
Slash!
Fresh blood sprayed out.
"Ahhh—!"
Rabiz let out a miserable scream.
His entire arm was severed.
The broken limb flew through the air and landed several meters away on the deck.
Blood gushed out violently!
"Ahhh!"
Pain swept through his body. His face turned crimson, veins bulging, blood soaking his clothes completely.
Raifeng raised the katana again.
He smiled faintly.
"Time to send you on your way."
"No—!"
Rabiz screamed in despair.
He didn't even have time to react.
The katana fell.
Slash!
The blade cut through the air.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
A head flew up, spun, and landed heavily on the deck.
Thud!
A headless corpse collapsed.
Life vanished completely.
Rabiz was dead.
A pirate with a bounty exceeding one hundred million Berries—
Effortlessly slain by Raifeng.
No resistance whatsoever.
"So this is the worth of a bounty over a hundred million."
Raifeng glanced calmly at the corpse and shook his head slightly.
Too weak.
So weak it was disappointing.
Killing him caused no emotional fluctuation at all.
Like slaughtering a chicken.
Raifeng wiped the blood from his blade and raised his head to look around the ship.
"So… what should I do with the rest?"
Kill them?
Or capture them?
After a brief moment of thought—
Raifeng made his decision.
Kill them all.
Anyway.
These guys were going to die sooner or later.
Thinking of that—
A faint smile appeared on Raifeng's face.
"Everyone, hello there."
As his words fell—
The surviving pirates' bodies went rigid. Their throats convulsed, legs trembling violently, eyes filled with terror as they stared at Raifeng holding the blood-soaked katana.
"Run!"
"Hurry up and run!"
"This thing is a monster!"
"No—he's a terrifying demon!"
The pirates who managed to react leapt desperately into the sea, trying to escape this nightmare-like place.
Very quickly.
One minute passed.
On the pirate ship's deck—
Corpses everywhere.
Not a single person remained standing.
All lay sprawled across the deck, cold, lifeless bodies.
Only Raifeng remained.
He stood at the edge of the deck, katana in hand.
He was—
The only living person on the entire ship.
From this moment on, it could be declared—
The White Bear Pirates had officially met the fate of total annihilation.
Wiped out easily by Raifeng alone.
