Chapter 71
As Vilin's Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body in an instant.
On Beehive Island.
Three strands of Conqueror's Haki seemed provoked.
Carrying the will and boundless momentum of three men, they instantly exploded outward.
Four strands of Conqueror's Haki, each containing different wills,
continuously clashed.
Colored arcs of lightning rapidly collided at the intersection of their auras.
All the pirates present suffered the impact of these four Conqueror's Haki strands.
Their minds felt like they were being hammered by giant mallets.
Some pirates with weak wills quickly fainted.
Those three strands of Conqueror's Haki came from Rocks D. Xebec, Edward Newgate, and Golden Lion Shiki.
At this moment,
the three also sensed Vilin's Haki.
It was a Haki that constantly evolved without limit.
Feeling Vilin's will,
the eyes of Rocks and the others grew solemn.
"Jie hahahaha! So we're the same type?"
"This sea is getting more and more interesting!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Rocks! Is this how you welcome me?"
Feeling the Conqueror's Haki erupting from his body, Vilin also let out an excited, carefree laugh.
He never expected his long-desired Conqueror's Haki
would awaken when he saw Naz being harmed.
Vilin stood at the bow of the Flying Bird.
He coldly smiled at Rocks, who was surrounded by numerous pirates in the center.
Soon he noticed
that Rocks' face actually resembled Buggy somewhat.
This stunned him for a moment.
But Vilin quickly recovered.
He had originally thought the man would look like Blackbeard!
"Hahahahaha!"
"Aitrias Vilin, you should call me Captain Rocks!"
"Also, only by defeating them
can you become the seventh division captain of the Rocks Pirates."
Hearing Rocks' words,
the pirates standing around him immediately showed cruel smiles.
"Wahahahaha!"
"Gurararara!"
...
"We're also eager to take your head and become the new seventh division captain!"
"I'm the same!"
Vilin looked at these pirates boasting so shamelessly.
He stepped on the air and shot toward Beehive Island like a meteor.
Every step Vilin took rang with sonic booms.
Vilin wore a loose white captain's coat.
His shirt rustled loudly from the powerful airflow.
He landed directly at Beehive Island's port.
The moment Vilin approached Beehive Island,
all the plants on the island instantly withered.
New green sprouts rapidly broke through the soil, weaving together beneath Vilin's feet.
Soon a giant plant fifty meters tall appeared.
Vilin landed directly on top of the giant plant.
Seeing Vilin arrive alone on Beehive Island,
the Rocks Pirates immediately surrounded him.
Rocks did not stop them.
He also wanted to see Vilin's true strength.
Under Rocks' lead,
the core members of the Rocks Pirates walked toward the high platform in the central square.
They also watched this exciting battle.
"Attack!"
"Kill him! Then we can become captain!"
"Charge!"
Soon a group of ferocious pirates rushed toward Vilin.
They attacked Vilin from all directions.
Like a pack of savage beasts.
For these pirates, most at Rear Admiral level,
Vilin didn't take them seriously.
"Light Aggregation!"
As his words fell,
the giant plant beneath Vilin's feet immediately began absorbing sunlight.
Strands of tiny light orbs quickly gathered together, forming a golden orb radiating intense heat — a small sun.
Sun Beam!
With Vilin's activation,
this massive heat-emitting orb split into countless smaller orbs that shot toward the pirates.
As the orbs accelerated,
their stability broke,
each orb instantly becoming violent and rapidly expanding.
With the orbs exploding,
circular golden fire pillars erupted one after another.
Scorching temperatures continuously assaulted all the pirates present.
In an instant,
hundreds of weaker pirates were burned to ashes.
Rocks saw Vilin kill hundreds of elite pirates with one move.
His cheek twitched.
His gaze toward Vilin gradually became more solemn.
Because he discovered that after releasing such a powerful attack, Vilin had only consumed a tiny amount of stamina.
As the golden energy wave dissipated,
the pirates who survived Vilin's attack
were directly blasted away by the powerful energy,
crashing heavily onto Beehive Island's ground,
their bodies emitting a charred smell.
Their clothes had long turned to ash.
But they didn't care.
These mad pirates, though showing fear,
thought of the unimaginable power, money, and status that came with becoming a division captain.
Their eyes once again became determined.
Seeing this group of pirates charge again,
Vilin couldn't help admiring their courage.
Wood Giant!
With the activation of his fruit ability,
Vilin rapidly fused with the plant beneath his feet.
As he manipulated it, the plant's form also changed.
Soon he transformed into an ancient giant clad in armor, with countless arms on his back.
Seeing this scene,
even the spectators couldn't help gasping.
"What powerful physical strength!"
The Rocks Pirates executives let out cries of disbelief.
Golden Lion Shiki, seeing this, couldn't resist standing up.
His eyes were full of fighting spirit.
The group of pirates surrounding Vilin also opened their mouths wide.
Not knowing how to attack Vilin.
But as one pirate swung his weapon at Vilin's body,
they swarmed toward Vilin and launched their attacks.
"Hahahahaha! Mere fireflies dare compete with the sun and moon!"
"True Several Thousand Hands!"
As Vilin's laughter rang out,
Vilin's eyes instantly opened.
He was like a giant spirit god general from ancient times.
Behind him, massive palms clenched into fists and crushed down toward the numerous pirates below.
Continuously sending these pirates flying.
Muffled grunts constantly rang out at Beehive Island's port.
Seeing this scene,
Rocks' face also became unsightly.
These were all his underlings!
Yet they were so easily defeated by Vilin.
Golden Lion Shiki, seeing this,
directly threw the cigar from his mouth to the ground,
unable to resist cursing "trash."
Golden Lion Shiki instantly drew Cherry Ten and Dead Wood from his waist.
Like a ferocious lion, he charged toward Vilin.
Slash Wave!
In mid-air, Shiki's dual swords continuously sliced through the air.
Massive golden slashes carrying jagged sharpness rapidly chopped toward Vilin.
Seeing this,
Vilin snorted coldly.
Two massive palms instantly condensed behind him.
He swung his arms and directly smashed toward Shiki's two golden sword energies.
As the two attacks collided,
a powerful shockwave instantly erupted in the air.
The two crossing golden sword energies began continuously cutting toward the giant fists.
Soon they severed Vilin's fists.
"Almost breaking through to Great Swordsman?"
Vilin looked at his severed fists.
Hot fighting spirit also surged in his eyes.
