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

Chapter 257 Conqueror's Haki Enhanced Again
Without a word, the berserker's crimson eyes instantly locked onto Ye Yu.

The next moment, the lava beneath his feet exploded with a deafening roar, and his enormous body transformed into a black and red afterimage that tore through the air, carrying a violent aura that could burn the eight wastelands, as he punched Ye Yu!
Before the fist even arrived, the terrifying pressure of the punch had already shattered the rocks beneath Ye Yu's feet.

Fast! Fierce! Violent!
This punch lacked any technique; it was simply a primal, pure, and violent outpouring of power! It seemed poised to utterly shatter everything in front of it, including the entire space itself.

Ye Yu's pupils contracted sharply. He was already on high alert, and his Observation Haki had anticipated the attack, but the opponent's speed and strength far exceeded his expectations. He didn't have time to draw his sword, so he could only roar and unleash his Armament Haki to its maximum, covering his arms and crossing them in front of his chest to block.

Boom-! ! ! !

The fists and arms collided violently, like two volcanoes colliding head-on.

The shockwave, visible to the naked eye, exploded in a ring, instantly flattening and evaporating the giant waves of lava within a radius of 100 meters.

The reef beneath Ye Yu's feet was completely reduced to dust. He felt as if he had been hit by a giant ship traveling at full speed. His arms were in excruciating pain, as if his bones were cracking. His body flew backward uncontrollably and crashed hard into another huge reef behind him.

Click!

The hard reef was dented by the impact, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards!
"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spurted from Ye Yu's mouth, instantly vaporized by the intense heat. With just one strike, he had suffered considerable internal injuries!
"Ha...Kill!!" The berserker roared incomprehensibly, giving Ye Yu no chance to catch his breath, and once again shattered the lava, pursuing him relentlessly. This time, it was an even more ferocious barrage of heavy punches, each one carrying the power to shatter mountains and split seas, the black and red fist shadows descending like a meteor shower.

Ye Yu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. The pain and the opponent's violent pressure aroused the ferocity in his bones. He stopped being on the defensive and the black sword Ye was instantly drawn!
"Divine Dodge!" Ye Yu roared, unleashing a condensed red slash that tore through lava and smoke, fiercely meeting the myriad fist shadows in the sky.

However, the berserker's Armament Haki was more refined than anyone could have imagined. That slash, powerful enough to cleave mountains, was shattered by his punch. The shattered energy of the slash scattered, causing the surrounding lava to surge into even higher waves.

"Not enough! Again!" Ye Yu's pupils contracted, and he instantly changed his move, integrating the essence of Hawkeye's swordsmanship into the blade.

Black Blade Night drew a trajectory, its speed suddenly increasing several times, and cunningly stabbed at a tiny opening exposed by the berserker's frenzied attack. This sword was fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Ding--! ! !
Sparks flew. The tip of Black Blade Night's blade was gripped tightly by the Berserker's other hand, which was wrapped in black and red Armament Haki. That hand was like a red-hot iron, rubbing against the black blade with a piercing sound.

"Roar!" The berserker grinned, and an overwhelming and terrifying force surged from the blade he had grabbed. With a sudden jerk, his massive head, carrying immense force, slammed into Ye Yu's face. He had completely abandoned defense and was resorting to a desperate, life-or-death fighting style, trading injury for life!

Caught off guard, Ye Yu's eyes hardened, his face covered in dark Armament Haki, and he slammed his head into Ye Yu's face.

boom--! ! !
A dull thud resounded, and Ye Yu felt as if he had been hit head-on by a battering ram. His face ached, and he was once again sent flying by the immense force, crashing into the scalding lava.

laugh! ! !
The ear-piercing sound of magma scorching the Armament Haki-enhanced body rang out, followed by searing pain. However, Ye Yu's physical body was extremely strong; even in the high-temperature lava, for a short time, it felt as if he were in water at around seventy degrees Celsius.

However, my face and my whole body are still in pain.

The rage within him, fueled by the pain and the opponent's ferocious attacks, surged wildly like a wildfire fueled by oil, and an impulse to destroy everything roared in his mind!

"Kill him! Tear him apart! Crush him with the most violent force!" A malevolent voice roared in his heart.

Ye Yu shook his head violently, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented brilliance. He forcefully suppressed his almost uncontrollable rage, his thoughts racing despite the excruciating pain and the pressure of the raging storm. "No! I can't let him get me into his rhythm!" Ye Yu stared intently at the berserker roaring and charging again. "He's the embodiment of pure rage, devoid of reason, driven only by destruction! Fighting him head-on, trying to outdo him in madness, is exactly what he wants! This Forge World, this pervasive rage, is fueling my fury, making me lose my composure!"

“Anger is power, but uncontrolled anger is poison! It’s the fuse for self-destruction! A true strong person controls anger, rather than being controlled by it! Let it be fuel, not a raging fire that consumes them.” Ye Yu murmured to himself.

Just as the berserker's devastating fist was about to strike again, Ye Yu's expression changed!

The raging crimson fury, which was about to erupt, did not disappear, but was forcibly restrained and compressed by an even stronger and colder will! It was like forcibly pressing raging magma into a forge!
He stopped trying to meet the attack head-on and suddenly unleashed his Moon Step, his body becoming a blurry afterimage as he narrowly avoided the terrifying fist wind. At the same time, Black Blade Night countered at an incredible angle, not targeting the berserker's vitals, but rather his elbow joint, which was difficult to defend against immediately after the attack.

Swish——!!!
The blade sliced ​​through the berserker's elbow, which was covered in thick Armament Haki, producing a piercing sound like metal scraping against metal. The blade forcibly tore open a gash in the black and red Armament Haki, revealing the bone, and dark red, magma-like blood gushed out.

"Awooo—!!!" The berserker let out a painful howl. It was not a fatal wound, but it was the first real injury he had ever suffered since he appeared. The intense pain made him even more ferocious, but it also caused a slight, almost imperceptible, slowdown in his movements.

Ye Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light!

opportunity!

In an instant, Ye Yu's black hair turned white, his eyes turned blood red, his expression was violent rather than angry, and his whole body crackled with electricity as he unleashed his full power!

This was the moment he had been waiting for. Instead of launching a strong attack, he pushed his Conqueror's Haki to its limit. It was no longer an indiscriminate assault, but a concentrated line, like an invisible spiritual hammer, that slammed into the berserker's burning red eyes.

In Sulong form, Ye Yu's imposing presence and aura are even stronger, as is his Conqueror's Haki.

"Wake up!!!"

boom--! ! !
The intense clash on a spiritual level caused the berserker's massive body to stiffen abruptly, his ferocious attack halting abruptly. For the first time, a trace of confusion and bewilderment appeared in his crimson eyes. The core, composed purely of rage, was shaken by the Conqueror's Haki that embodied Ye Yu's indomitable will!
Without pausing for a moment, Ye Yu seized the fleeting moment when the opponent was mentally injured and his movements were stiff, and poured all his power into Black Blade Night!
The blade hummed, and a burst of emerald green light surged, as if it were about to tear this lava hell apart.

Ye Yu's figure and the sword light seemed to merge into one, carrying an indomitable momentum that could cut through raging waves, instantly piercing through the berserker's stiff body.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

The berserker's massive body froze in place, a thin emerald green ray of light starting from his brow and spreading straight down.

Click...

A faint cracking sound was heard.

The next moment, the berserker's black and red body silently split in two along the emerald light. The cut was as smooth as a mirror. Instead of splattering blood, the split body quickly turned into two pools of boiling black and red magma, which then merged back into the sea of ​​lava below.
