Contract Red Hair Shanks, the school beauty kicked me off the boat

Chapter 228 Overbearing Aura Nullifies Powers

Zhang Peng discovered that there was a slot machine hidden in the ammunition pouch. He won the grand prize, but it used up a lot of his luck.

The crew of the Tyrant Feather Pirates were full of praise.

"Xing Yun, good idea."

"That's clever."

"He absorbed a lot of luck, so he was very lucky, but once he used it all up, he'll be a weakling."

……

Zhang Peng was shocked that someone could come up with such an idea. However, he was fortunate that he still had some luck. He remained calm and composed, glad that he had recruited so many crew members. Although they were all weaklings, he needed their luck.

"Hmph, I'll be more careful from now on. You can't do anything to me, including Ye Yu."

Passersby were shocked.

"Zhang Peng hasn't been seriously injured yet."

"I have to say, the Lucky Fruit is really amazing."

"I really want a Devil Fruit ability like that. If I had it, wouldn't it be like winning billions in the lottery?"

"Having such an ability must bring you a lot of good luck."

……

Zhang Peng crossed his arms, showing no fear whatsoever. This ability made him unafraid of Ye Yu, whose strength was far superior.

At the same time, Zhang Peng was somewhat agitated and sneered.

"Next, Ye Yu, I'm going to touch you and absorb your luck. Once your luck is gone, you won't get so many opportunities. In my opinion, your ability to break through to the next level is not only due to your strength, but also because of your luck. So, I'm going to take away your luck."

……

At this moment, a passerby was live-streaming in the distance, and the scene naturally spread quickly. Matters concerning the Tyrant Feather Pirates are always hot topics, so many people, including members of various pirate crews, quickly came to know.

The people most concerned were naturally Lin Muxue and others.

"Lucky fruit, interesting."

"No wonder they dared to provoke the Tyrant Feather Pirates. Even we wouldn't dare now."

"Xiao Ke, the vice-captain of the Tyrant Feather Pirates, and Sun Long, the strongest officer, are about to attack, but Zhang Peng is still fine."

"This ability is indeed somewhat overpowered. So, can Ye Yu do anything against it?"

"They probably can't do anything about it. He absorbed so much luck. Before he runs out of luck, Ye Yu won't be able to finish him off, right? Although Ye Yu is very strong, Zhang Peng's strength is not as good as one of our combat crew members. The difference in strength between him and Ye Yu is like heaven and earth. But with this kind of ability, even Ye Yu will be powerless to do anything about it, right?"

……

Even top geniuses like Wang Quanshi and Song Ling wanted to possess such an ability, but unfortunately, they could only have one Devil Fruit, and the Lucky Fruit was not a power-type fruit.

However, luck is also a part of ability, as the saying goes.

……

At this moment, Hei Jie's eyes lit up.

"The Fruit of Luck, if I could obtain it."

Hei Jie wondered if this would be helpful to him, since he could possess more than one Devil Fruit ability.

"If I possessed it, would I be invincible? I have both luck and strength."

Thinking of this, Hei Jie was somewhat excited, but after thinking about it, he decided to prioritize obtaining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

……

Lin Muxue said with some anticipation, "Let's absorb Ye Yu's luck, affect his cultivation progress, and bring him a series of misfortunes."

Song Ling agreed: "Yes, if you lose your luck, then you'll definitely be unlucky all the time."

They were all very happy to accept, even Yang Luo's eyes lit up.

"If I had known about such a person and such abilities, I would have recruited him. Although his strength is lacking, his abilities are great."

Wang Quanshi sighed softly, "Let's see if he can survive."

……

At this moment, Ye Yu looked down on him with disdain.

Zhang Peng wasn't directly defeated by Wu Xingyun because he had absorbed a lot of luck and hadn't used it all up. But he wasn't worried at all.

Zhang Peng swaggered over confidently.

"If I want to touch you now, I definitely will, because I'm so lucky. Because of my luck, I'll be able to touch you. I don't know what will happen, but there's only one outcome: I'll touch you and absorb your luck. That's the power of the Luck Fruit. Sometimes when facing a powerful enemy, I don't even know how to defeat him myself. But as long as I want to, then when the battle begins, lucky things will keep happening to help me defeat my opponent. How about that? Scared yet? How about you become my subordinate, let me be the captain of the Tyrant Feather Pirates, and be my henchman?"

Zhang Peng started daydreaming, feeling very excited. Wouldn't that make him even more powerful?

However, upon thinking of this, Ye Yu was disdainful and did not make a move. Instead, he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, which surged forth towards Zhang Peng.

A dark red, lightning-shaped burst of domineering color erupted from Ye Yu's body, causing passersby to quickly move away upon seeing this.

"Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki! Retreat!"

"You'll be killed by the shockwave."

"Can you make it?"

"Huh? I'm fine. Did I control the area? Phew, thank goodness."

"Can Zhang Peng hold on?"

"OK?"

……

The world immediately took notice.

Zhang Peng stood there calmly, without the slightest worry.

However, in the next instant, an overwhelming sense of oppression, collapse, and terrifying mental shock came over me, containing the power of shockwaves, causing excruciating pain throughout my body and in my mind, as if I were exploding.

"what!"

With a piercing scream, Zhang Peng rolled his eyes back, blood flowing from his seven orifices, in disbelief.

"What's going on? Why didn't the Luck Fruit work? Why am I affected? Why?"

Zhang Peng was puzzled.

Ye Yu didn't say anything, naturally he wouldn't say that Haki is the key to power, and that strong Haki can make Devil Fruit abilities ineffective.

Passersby were shaken; some were actually killed by the shockwave. Ye Yu said listlessly, "Let's go and resupply."

"Yes, Captain."

……

Lin Muxue and the others looked grim. Such overpowered abilities were nothing in front of Ye Yu? Was it because they had encountered an even more overpowered Ye Yu?

Meanwhile, in some corner of the world, a bustling city stood on a vast plain, its neon lights illuminating the night sky like an ever-flowing galaxy. However, one night without warning, this prosperity was completely shrouded in sudden darkness.

A new dark realm descended without warning, its blackness more intense than ink, like a ferocious beast slowly swallowing the edge of the city.

"The Black Secret Realm".

"It's even richer than the previous Bloodline Reward Black Realm." "What's the content this time?"

……

When people discovered this change in horror, a mysterious voice resounded in everyone's mind: "This is the Alien King Barrier, guarded by four powerful Alien Beast Kings. Anyone who challenges and defeats them will receive a generous experience reward; if no one challenges them, the Alien Beast Kings will break out of the barrier in three days and destroy the city. However, only one person can enter the barrier at a time; teams are prohibited."

The news sent shockwaves throughout the world. Countless powerful figures chose to remain silent after learning about the barrier's rules. After all, facing four powerful beast kings alone was practically tantamount to suicide.

I've faced many powerful beasts before, but these beasts all have the word "King" in their names, meaning they are all at least level 50. Only those at level 50 can be called the Beast King.

The city's residents were gripped by extreme panic, and an atmosphere of despair permeated the streets. People wept on street corners, filled with despair, as if the end of the world was imminent. Even Ye Yu felt he wouldn't dare participate.

Lin Muxue stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the edge of the city being engulfed by darkness, a cold smile playing on her lips. There was an irreconcilable conflict between her and Ye Yu, and she felt uncertain about what would happen six months from now. What if she was still no match for Ye Yu then? That would be dangerous.

"Ye Yu, you'd better participate in this challenge and die inside the barrier. That way, I can reach the later stages. Knowing your personality, you'll participate, right?" she murmured, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Wang Quanshi prayed. "Ye Yu, you must participate."

Within the barrier, four Beast Kings guarded the east, west, south, and north respectively. The Eastern Beast King was covered in golden scales, resembling a small golden mountain, its eyes gleaming with a cold light; the Western Beast King was slender, like a black lightning bolt, its claws incredibly sharp, capable of tearing through space with a single swipe; the Southern Beast King was enormous, like a moving mountain, its mouth occasionally spewing scorching flames; the Northern Beast King exuded an eerie aura, surrounded by black mist, obscuring its true form.

These four beast kings were evenly matched in strength, and none dared to attack the others lightly, fearing that excessive losses in battle would allow others to profit from the chaos and enable someone to successfully challenge the barrier. They wandered aimlessly within their respective territories, occasionally letting out a roar, seemingly announcing their presence to the outside world.

Just when everyone thought no one dared to take on the challenge, Ye Yu stepped forward. He wore a long black robe, his eyes resolute and calm. After learning about the barrier, he began gathering intelligence on the Beast King and devising a challenge plan. Although he knew this challenge was fraught with peril, this city was his territory, and most importantly, he was determined to succeed once again.

"Ye Yu, are you really going? It's too dangerous." Xia Ling looked at him with a worried expression.

“This is a bigger challenge, but with a great reward, and it’s also our territory.” Ye Yu gently stroked Xia Ling’s hair and said with a smile, “Trust me, I will come back safely.”

Xia Ling gripped Ye Yu's hand tightly, hesitant to speak. In the end, she could only nod silently, her eyes filled with reluctance and worry.

Ye Yu took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the barrier. The moment he stepped into the barrier, a powerful sense of oppression washed over him, as if countless eyes were watching him in the darkness. His body trembled slightly, but his gaze became even more resolute.

First to meet Ye Yu was the Eastern Beast King. It let out a deafening roar, its golden scales instantly bristling like countless sharp blades. Ye Yu swiftly used his movement technique to dodge the Beast King's attack, simultaneously conjuring a powerful slash in his hand, aiming for the Beast King's throat. The Beast King reacted extremely quickly, swinging its massive claws to block Ye Yu's strike.

The two exchanged blows fiercely. Ye Yu, relying on his agile movements and superb swordsmanship, gradually gained the upper hand. Just as he was preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Beast King, the western Beast King suddenly attacked from the flank, its claws striking Ye Yu with lightning speed. Ye Yu quickly turned to defend, but was forced back several steps by the sudden attack.

It turned out that although the four beast kings were wary of each other, they had temporarily joined forces when faced with an outside challenger. Ye Yu knew he was in a predicament, but he didn't panic. He quickly adjusted his tactics, moving among the four beast kings, searching for their weaknesses.

During the battle with the four Beast Kings, Ye Yu discovered that although they were powerful, their coordination was poor. Whenever one Beast King launched an attack, the others would pause briefly. Ye Yu seized this opportunity, concentrating his attacks on one of the Beast Kings, attempting to defeat them one by one.

After a fierce battle, Ye Yu finally defeated the Eastern Beast King. Seeing this, the other three Beast Kings became even more cautious. They no longer attacked easily, but instead moved slowly around Ye Yu, searching for the best opportunity to strike.

Ye Yu didn't give them much time. One after another, slashes streaked across the night sky, flying towards the other three beast kings.

The three beast kings quickly deployed their defenses, emanating powerful energy fluctuations as they attempted to withstand Ye Yu's attacks. However, Ye Yu's strikes were too powerful, relentlessly crashing down like a tidal wave.

They unleashed their bloodline power, making their aura even stronger.

Ye Yu put down the black knife and began to use physical techniques.

The battle continued, and Lin Muxue and the others watched closely from outside, filled with worry.

"I hope they won't let him pass again."

"It's probably impossible; it would be very difficult."

"But one of them died so quickly."

"Don't approve it, or I'll get another hefty reward."

……

Ye Yu unleashed his physical skills, and gradually, the three beast kings found it difficult to resist and were at a disadvantage.

Wang Quanshi was worried that if things continued like this, Ye Yu would really expand his advantage and win, thus improving his chances once again.

Yang Luo's face was grim: "I asked you to unite more, but you didn't want to. That was your chance, and it will be hard to find another one like that."

However, the other pirate crews had no regrets; Ye Yu was so powerful that joining forces with him would be suicide.

The three beast kings were soon covered in wounds, and Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.

However, at this moment, another barrier appeared in the secret realm, inside which were four identical beast kings.

This sight shocked and surprised everyone in the world.

"what happened?"

"Why are there four identical barriers again?"

Two floors?

……

Everyone was puzzled,

The members of the Tyrant Feather Pirates frowned, uneasy.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

"After all, this is the most difficult one yet." "What's going on?"

……

At this moment, within the barrier, the otherworldly king guarding the east sneered, as if he had the world under his control.

"Not bad strength. Being able to shatter the illusion within my illusion means that your strength is quite good."

Lin Muxue and the others understood, and were shocked. It was just an illusion created by the Beast King. Amazing. It wasn't real; no wonder it was dealt with so quickly.

They were excited; Ye Yu might really be finished this time.

The Eastern Beast King smirked as he looked at Ye Yu inside, sighing softly, "His strength is somewhat interesting, but it doesn't really pique my interest in fighting. You two can come out and deal with him later, then we can spar. I really have no interest in fighting him at full strength..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the space behind him suddenly shattered, and Ye Yu broke free of the illusion, unleashing a divine slash.

The Eastern Beast King was startled. He tried to defend himself quickly but was forced back. Blood flowed from his arms, he felt pain, frowned, and trembled.

Ye Yu scoffed: "Trying to show off here?"
