Chapter 16: Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki Shocks Everyone

The members of the Chosen One Pirate Crew all thought Ye Yu was in trouble.

"This is what he gets for deliberately damaging our ship."

"Although the real mutation hasn't arrived yet, the animals on Earth have already mutated, especially sea creatures. So now, not just civilians, but even some pirates don't dare to linger near the sea because it's too dangerous."

"Yeah, if I were facing this situation, I'd be done for."

"Even with my level four talent and the artificial Devil Fruit of the rabbit, I wouldn't be able to escape death against these man-eating fish."

"The number of man-eating fish Ye Yu is facing is no less than what the Captain faced earlier. They're swarming everywhere. Even if Ye Yu has level ten talent and has contracted seven non-ability users, he's still doomed. At best, he'll lose a layer of skin; at worst, only his bones will remain."

"He must be panicking and terrified, calling for the Captain to save him."

"That's inevitable."

...

Li Cang naturally thought of this too and asked, "Captain, if he begs for help, you won't intervene, right?"

Lin Muxue's face was cold as she replied, "Of course I won't save him. I'm not close to him, and besides, he cut a big hole in our ship. I definitely won't save him. However, from what we saw of his skills earlier, he's not completely hopeless. He probably won't die, but he'll certainly be seriously injured."

After gloating, Lin Muxue and the others eagerly anticipated Ye Yu's panic and pleas for help.

However, Ye Yu didn't react that way. Facing these man-eating fish, Ye Yu remained calm.

Looking up, he saw a dark mass of man-eating fish above and in front of him, casting shadows all around.

Lin Muxue had been waiting for Ye Yu to beg for help, but now that he wasn't, she felt annoyed.

"Does he know we wouldn't bother even if he begged?"

At this moment, Zhang Tian happened to be passing by from afar. Seeing this scene, her face changed in shock.

"Ye Yu, quick, get out of there!"

However, Zhang Tian knew in her heart that Ye Yu couldn't escape. There were too many fish, and it happened too suddenly.

She rushed over, panicking, praying that nothing would happen to Ye Yu. At the same time, she activated her Flower-Flower Fruit ability, crossing her arms over her chest, trying to create a large net of many arms in front of Ye Yu. But she was too far away; there wasn't enough time.

Zhang Tian was frantic, almost in tears.

"It's too late, what should I do? Ye Yu can't get hurt!"

Ye Yu hadn't expected Zhang Tian to care about him so much. He could see her face turning pale, on the verge of tears.

"Does she really like me? Why?"

After brief contemplation, he couldn't figure it out. As for the swarm of man-eating fish, Ye Yu had naturally sensed them long ago, even before they burst out of the sea. After all, Ye Yu possessed powerful Observation Haki.

Most of the strong individuals he had contracted were Observation Haki experts, not to mention Red-Haired Shanks. Currently, only Shanks possessed Observation Kill. So, Ye Yu's Observation Haki was very strong. Even though he was still far from being able to fully utilize the Haki of his contracted individuals, it was already quite formidable in the present situation.

Looking at the dense swarm of man-eating fish with their gaping mouths and sharp fangs lunging towards him, Ye Yu remained calm, hands in his pockets, completely unfazed.

This surprised and confused the people on the Chosen One Pirate Crew's ship.

"How can he be so calm?"

"Isn't he going to draw his sword or fight back?"

"Although he contracted seven Non-Ability Users, with his level 10 talent, he shouldn't be at the lowest level of strength. He should still be able to resist, right?"

"I think he's given up and doesn't want to live anymore. Even if he resists, it would be difficult to survive."

...

Li Cang shouted, "Ye Yu, beg me, and perhaps I'll lend a hand to help you, give you a way to live. What do you think, Xue'er?"

Lin Muxue could see that Li Cang was saying this deliberately. Even if Ye Yu begged, he wouldn't help. It was just to make himself feel better.

Remembering how she had previously begged Ye Yu, groveling in various ways, Lin Muxue also wanted Ye Yu to yield to her and beg. So she spoke up.

"Quickly kneel down and beg me, and I'll use my electricity to help you solve some problems."

...

However, Ye Yu completely ignored them.

Lin Muxue sneered, "Won't beg? Then be devoured by the man-eating fish..."

But in the next instant, Lin Muxue's words were cut short, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Li Cang and everyone in the Chosen One Pirate Crew stared with wide eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Zhang Tian, who had been in despair, was shocked and delighted by the scene in the distance.

They saw that facing the school of man-eating fish, Ye Yu just stood there, hands in his pockets.

As the man-eating fish were about to engulf Ye Yu, a sudden change occurred!

Ye Yu's gaze sharpened, his eyes suddenly widened, and his expression turned cold. A burst of aura suddenly exploded from his body, instantly revealing his Haki. With what seemed like a humming sound, a dark red energy field erupted, sweeping outwards towards the man-eating fish that were about to swallow Ye Yu.

Crack! Pop!

Even a few faint dark red electric arcs appeared.

At this moment, Ye Yu became even more imposing, intimidating without anger, extremely threatening. Those watching from afar felt their hearts tremble and their hair stand on end.

And those man-eating fish, their eyes instantly became circular, all of them stunned, falling with a splash.

Under their horrified gaze, all the man-eating fish were stunned and fell to the ground. The area in front of Ye Yu was covered with unconscious man-eating fish.

Even on the Chosen One Pirate Crew's ship, many people collapsed on the deck, their eyes rolled back, losing consciousness.

Many people looked at the crew members fainting beside them, shocked and confused.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?"

"What's happening to them? Who attacked them?"

"Why did they suddenly collapse, and a full hundred people at that!"

...

They were shocked, in disbelief, confused, their understanding shattered.

Qingfeng was extremely shaken and exclaimed in horror.

"This... this is... Conqueror's Haki!!"

Lin Muxue and Li Cang were both horrified. They initially thought it was somewhat similar to the Conqueror's Haki that Qingfeng had just released, both being bursts of aura, but they didn't dare to be certain because the difference was too great. One barely moved the leaves on the deck, while Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki stunned all the man-eating fish. The difference was just too vast!

Li Cang exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? Is this really Conqueror's Haki?"

Lin Muxue was also stunned, "Conqueror's Haki has this kind of power? Without even moving, he directly stunned so many man-eating fish. And even though the Conqueror's Haki wasn't aimed here, a hundred people were affected and fainted."

They never expected such a scene. Ye Yu, without lifting a finger, with just one fierce look, had stunned all these man-eating fish.

Knowing it was Conqueror's Haki, Lin Muxue frowned: "Qingfeng, didn't you say that Conqueror's Haki couldn't be improved through training? You and he both possess Conqueror's Haki, so logically, your Conqueror's Haki should have the same power, right? Why can't you even move leaves more than ten meters away, while his Conqueror's Haki can knock out the man-eating fish and a hundred people on our ship?"

Qingfeng was also shocked, not expecting it to be so terrifying, and hurriedly explained.

"It's true that it can't be strengthened through training. Conqueror's Haki improves based on the possessor's spirit. The stronger the spirit, the stronger the Conqueror's Haki. It seems that among the Non-Ability Users he's contracted with, there must be someone with an incredibly strong spirit. That's why his Conqueror's Haki and mine are worlds apart."

This made Lin Muxue understand, realizing her mistake. Conqueror's Haki wasn't useless after all.

At this moment, Ye Yu put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.

Zhang Tian br

eathed a sigh of relief; Ye Yu was completely unharmed, which was great.

Lin Muxue, not having time to be shocked, quickly jumped off the ship and ran after him, shouting.

"Ye Yu, wait!"
