Chapter 128: The Current Strongest Individual?

Lin Muxue noticed the low morale and shouted encouragingly, "Don't be discouraged! Our alliance of four pirate crews has more members, and our overall combat power far surpasses theirs! If this turns into a prolonged battle, they will be at a disadvantage. Stay calm, we will surely win!"

Her voice echoed across the battlefield through the amplifying shell, but the morale of the four pirate crews did not rise.

An hour passed, and the alliance of the four pirate crews was still at a disadvantage. The island and the shore were littered with corpses, mostly from the four pirate crews, and their casualty numbers continued to climb.

Moreover, the combat crew suffered heavy losses, especially when facing the vice-captain and powerful executives of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew. Even when many combat crew members teamed up against one, the disadvantage only grew.

This was unacceptable to captains like Jin Mo. Winning at such a high cost was not an option, especially when victory was still uncertain.

Jin Mo's face darkened, "This can't go on! We must defeat Ye Yu quickly, or else the 200,000 combat power ten kilometers away will be wasted for nothing."

Lin Muxue and the others understood this, but they were helpless and anxious.

Thirty-five prodigies, the top combatants of the four pirate crews, had been besieging Ye Yu for an hour. Ye Yu's consumption was minimal, while they had already lost five, leaving only thirty prodigies.

This shocked the world.

"So many top prodigies joined forces, yet Ye Yu is still not at a disadvantage.""

"He's too strong."

"Ye Yu has been hit, but he's withstood it all."

"Indeed, Lin Muxue managed to attack Ye Yu, but his physical body and Armament Haki are incredibly strong, even resisting lightning."

...

Meanwhile, on the ship of the strongest pirate crew.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit user was astonished, "I never expected the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew's overall strength to be this formidable, completely surpassing us! It's clear now that the strongest pirate crew is the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew!"

This was hard for the Dark-Dark Fruit user, Hei Jie, to accept, "The strongest pirate crew is actually one with many Non-Ability Users, and there's a noticeable gap."

Not only were they the strongest, but they were also far ahead, which is why the four top pirate crews were at a disadvantage.

Hei Jie consoled himself, "But this is only for now. Starting from level thirty, the strongest pirate crew won't belong to the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, and the strongest individual won't be Ye Yu either."

Thinking this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

Bai Shaohan believed that in a one-on-one fight, he was no match for Ye Yu now, but in the mid to late stages, he would undoubtedly be the world's strongest individual.

The vice-captain who had eaten the Phoenix Fruit marveled, "Before the battle started, no one would have thought that the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew would have the upper hand. Their executives are incredibly strong, especially Vice-Captain Xiao Ke, who is truly surprising."

Another executive sighed, "It's mainly because Ye Yu is too powerful. Without him, the four pirate crews would definitely have the upper hand. Ye Yu alone has held off too many top combatants, forcing the four pirate crews to face the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew's elite. Even if a hundred combat crew members were to take on one vice-captain or executive from the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, they would still be at a disadvantage."

Everyone knew that the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew's advantage in this battle was largely due to Ye Yu.

On the ship of the Destruction Pirate Crew, the More-More Fruit Ability User furrowed his brow and sighed, "Ah, if only we had allied with them earlier, we could have joined this battle and crushed the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew. If the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew wins, they'll become even more unstoppable. During this period, we haven't recruited many people, yet their overall strength is already so formidable. Imagine how much stronger they'll be after recruiting more."

"Captain, even if they win this battle, it's not certain they'll recruit many powerful fighters. There aren't many independent pirates left on the seas now. Besides, everyone knows that after level 30, Non-Ability Users enter a weak phase. The stronger Ye Yu and Xiao Ke, these Non-Ability Users, perform in this battle, the happier those top-tier Devil Fruit Ability Users will be, because it means the strongest Ability Users in the Pirate King world will undoubtedly be even stronger."

...

The battle continued, and Lin Muxue and the other thirty prodigies grew increasingly anxious. If this dragged on, casualties would only rise. Even if they defeated the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, they wouldn't be able to celebrate. Instead, other top-tier pirate crews would benefit, as they would have expended too much of their own strength to suppress the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew.

After all, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew was so powerful that it created a gap, making every top-tier pirate crew uncomfortable and eager to suppress them. But it was they who had to pay the price to do so.

They wanted to quickly defeat Ye Yu, which would turn the tide, but after a prolonged siege, Ye Yu's energy remained steady, and his stamina barely depleted.

Lin Muxue's expression turned grim. "We can't go on like this! We originally thought we could win with minimal losses, but now the casualties are mounting. Even if we win, it won't be worth it. We must defeat Ye Yu; then our 120,000 combat strength can be fully utilized. So, I propose we bring in more forces to deal with Ye Yu."

Jin Mo and others agreed, shouting, "Bring more combat crew over! Help us defeat Ye Yu!"

However, when the combat crew heard this order, they were furious.

They were already under immense pressure, at a disadvantage against the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew's vice-captain and executives. Now they were being asked to support the fight against Ye Yu? What were these prodigies doing? There were over thirty of them, captains and executives from four major pirate crews, top-tier fighters, yet they couldn't defeat Ye Yu after so long and now needed their support?

They wanted to curse but had to hold it in.

One combat crew member said bitterly, "Captain, we're under a lot of pressure too. It's really hard to provide support."

"Yeah, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew's top-tier fighters are just too strong."

"I never expected Non-Ability Users to be this powerful."

"The Dominant Feather Pirate Crew is full of monsters. Even a monkey has the strength of an executive. Our casualties are heavy, and the pressure is mounting. It's really hard to provide support. We were hoping you captains and executives would severely injure Ye Yu and then come help us."

...

Lin Muxue and the others looked grave. Calling for more forces to support them had only further lowered morale.

Ye Yu sneered, "You people are truly useless. So many of you besiege me, and you still need them to support you? You're not even human."

After saying this, Ye Yu shouted to the combat crew, "I just said what you were all thinking."

Though they were enemies, the combat crew felt a bit of satisfaction. It was indeed what they had been thinking.

Ye Yu's sarcasm left Lin Muxue and the others with grim expressions, feeling deeply humiliated and embarrassed.

Jin Mo, his eyes blazing with anger, shouted, "Follow orders! No more nonsense! If Ye Yu isn't defeated, our force of over 200,000 is just a decoration! So, bear with the hardship. Once the 200,000-strong force arrives, we'll achieve a decisive victory!"

Wang Quanshi nodded in agreement, "Exactly! If we continue like this, our disadvantage will only grow. We must adopt this strategy."

Lin Muxue emphasized, "Our priority is to defeat Ye Yu. Once that's done, our top-tier fighters and the 200,000-strong force will join the battle, and you'll be relieved. No matter how formidable the Vice Captain and Executives of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew are, they will inevitably collapse. Victory will be ours!"

Upon hearing this, the other crew members' anger subsided. They found the reasoning sound and could only nod in reluctant agreement.

"Alright, we'll go and provide support. Let's resolve Ye Yu as quickly as possible."

However, what Ye Yu did next left the entire battlefield, and indeed the whole world, in utter shock!
