Chapter 606: The Ape Man (Happy New Year)
Chapter 606: The Ape Man (Happy New Year)
"Oh, how terrifying. Have you finally lost your patience?"
Huang Yuan joked, "Isn't one of Zefa's Pacifistas enough? Now you're setting your sights on Beckapank?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Sagel's iron rod in his hand, "It's quite familiar. Is that Kaido's weapon? Even someone like you would use a loser's weapon?"
"Why can't I use something I took?" Sagel asked.
Sagel laughed, "They're all mine anyway. As for you, if I recall correctly, Beckapank is your man, right? Since you're not using him properly, hand him over to me. I'm not like you with your abundance of talent; I'm dying for talent. I'll make the most of such high-end talent."
How could he not be lacking in talent?
There was no shortage of killers, but was there not also a shortage of administrators?
Even his officers, including Weevil, now had fixed patrol responsibilities.
With so much territory under his control, it was impossible to manage with a bunch of unrefined brutes; he needed administrators. Even with the establishment of education, there was still a severe shortage of administrative talent after such a short time.
The subordinates under his command could only ensure security and maintain basic order. If he wanted to come up with ways to increase productivity, how could his subordinates possibly accomplish that?
Since it was difficult to manage a large number of mid-to-low-end talents, he decided to acquire some high-end ones. The brain of a high-end talent could be worth a thousand armies.
Lily was one of the most reliable, handling large and small affairs, but if the territory expanded further, she might not be able to handle it as effortlessly.
He needed to reduce his burden and acquire more talent so that his expansion efforts would be less strenuous.
"So, you want Beckapank, but he has seven of them."
A strange light flashed from Huang Yuan's sunglasses as he spoke, "The embodiment of 'righteousness', Shi Jia; the embodiment of 'evil', Lilis; the embodiment of 'thought', Aidishen; the embodiment of 'wisdom', Bidatagelasi; the embodiment of 'fury', Altalas; the embodiment of 'desire', Yueke. And there's the old man himself, which one do you seek?"
Sagel was taken aback for a moment but then laughed, "I want them all!"
"I'm just joking. I won't give you even one."
Huang Yuan chuckled, extending his index finger, from which light rapidly gathered. In that instant of gathering, Sagel's pupils constricted, and he immediately swung his iron rod, unleashing a burst of power that seemed to teleport as he swung his weapon, striking out in an instant.
Boom! The explosion erupted on the iron rod, sending out a cloud of dust and a shockwave that ruffled everyone's hair.
Lily was the most shocked. She hadn't been able to see that laser beam clearly just now! It was even faster than before!
Lily clenched the sword in her hand, her face turning solemn.
Previously, she hadn't noticed, only thinking that Huang Yuan was fast, after all, he was light.
But after becoming stronger, she still felt that Huang Yuan was fast, even faster than before. This laser beam was so powerful that even she could only barely block it, and not for long! That was a problem.
Bang! Amid the smoke, Sagel unleashed another strike with his rod, dispersing the smoke and sending out a cylindrical wave of Haoshoku Haki. The wave traveled swiftly, reaching high into the sky, but it missed its target.
Huang Yuan transformed into a beam of light, circling around Sagel in mid-air. Lasers continuously shot from his fingers, forming a semi-circle as if they were being fired simultaneously, and then they shot downwards.
Sagel twisted his wrist, and Bazaijie emitted a booming sound as it was pulled outwards, forming a semi-circle. Powerful Haoshoku Haki covered the iron rod, deflecting all the incoming laser beams.
"Oh, you've become even more terrifying. Can you handle this too?"
Huang Yuan stopped and commented on the terror, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Stop joking around," Sagel said, lowering Bazaijie. He twisted his neck, making a few cracking sounds, and with a boom, his body was enveloped in a white cocoon. The cocoon unraveled from the top like a bandage, revealing his hair, which resembled burning white flames, and his Haoshoku Haki, which was exposed due to his transformation, resembling black leather armor.
He looked up, "You don't seem to be letting me pass so easily."
Huang Yuan laughed, "After all, I am a Marine."
"Baigui Xihaochong!"
Without another word, Sagel unleashed a wave of Haoshoku Haki resembling black and red light, swiftly engulfing Huang Yuan's body. The black and red light almost reached the sky, grazing the top of the egg-shaped cloud above, and with just that graze, it shattered, leaving a gaping hole.
But right beside that black and red light, a beam of light flashed by, quickly taking the form of Huang Yuan. He raised his hand and fired an even faster laser beam directly at Sagel's head.
Snap!
Sagel raised his hand to block the laser, allowing it to strike his arm without leaving even a scratch.
Pure aura was ineffective against Yuan Su, and the Sword Princess had a special way to cut through it, but Sagel directly hardened his body with his aura to withstand the attack!
"You need to increase the power!"
Huang Yuan's index finger emitted an even more intense light, and with a 'shush' sound, a blinding flash passed by, causing an explosion around Sagel.
"So, is this effective now?" Huang Yuan chuckled.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a white trail shot out from the smoke of the explosion—it was Sagel's white hair, moving at high speed, reaching Huang Yuan in the blink of an eye.
Sagel's body was still emitting wisps of smoke, and his charred arm now emitted white gas. After a rapid recovery, he punched Huang Yuan's forehead.
Bang!
The punch was blocked by a beam of light, which condensed into a kick, firmly blocking Sagel's fist.
"Oh, that speed is indeed fast." Huang Yuan said, "But my speed is not slow either."
"Fast speed."
Sagel grinned at him, "But it's useless if the power isn't strong enough!"
Boom!
His blocked fist pushed forward, and the unique force instantly sent Huang Yuan's legs flying. To Huang Yuan's surprise, a punch landed on his chest, causing him to crash downward with a loud boom.
His body fell, but it also scattered into light in mid-air, quickly gathering behind Sagel and firing another laser.
"Tianlong Mixing Qun!"
Sagel crushed a ring on his finger, grabbed the fragments, and threw them backward. The fragments enlarged and accelerated in an instant, dense like meteorites, shooting out rapidly and striking the sea outside the island, creating several huge splashes and even a massive vortex that shook the island.
Huang Yuan had already turned into light and dodged when Sagel turned around, appearing above Sagel and kicking downward. Sagel raised his hand to block, but before he could grab him, Huang Yuan turned into light and dissipated again.
In the sky and on the ground, Sagel's figure chased after Huang Yuan, who was in the form of light. In everyone's field of vision, they saw either blinding light or the black-red aura impact. Each collision resulted in either the light piercing nearby buildings and causing explosions or the aura shockwave blasting through the buildings, turning them into ruins.
In terms of speed, no one on the high seas could match Huang Yuan, not even Sagel in his full-form state.
Moreover, with such incredible speed and top-notch observation haki, even if you were stronger, your chances of hitting him would be slim if he chose to dodge and fight.
Without being hit, how could one be harmed?
Natural-type users often possessed this ability, so when they fought with their proficient aura techniques and no apparent weaknesses, the battle would not end quickly.
In a typical pirate battle, even against a Four Emperor, the outcome would not take long to determine. But when facing a natural-type user, the fight could last for as little as two to three days or as long as ten days. There was no other way to win except to outlast them.
For someone like Huang Yuan, if he wanted to wear you down, you had no choice but to patiently endure the fight, sometimes ending in a stalemate because you couldn't catch up.
The phrase "The High Seas are Evenly Matched" referred to Huang Yuan.
He could maintain a balance with anyone, and his ability was sometimes absolute—no one could surpass him in terms of light.
"This won't do."
After Sagel unleashed another aura shockwave that Huang Yuan dodged, the light appeared at Sagel's side and kicked out, only to be blocked by Sagel's raised hand.
"Like this, you won't be able to take Beckapank away," Huang Yuan said.
"You seem to be looking forward to it! If I recall correctly, you're only responsible for protecting Beckapank, right? Someone like you, can you feel emotions?"
Sagel responded with a sinister smile, using his arm strength to shake off Huang Yuan's kick, allowing him to dissipate into light and avoid being captured.
"That's a rather heartless statement for someone like me," Huang Yuan said, appearing in front of Sagel with a flash. He clapped his hands together, summoning a sword of light and swinging it downward.
The speed of light made it impossible to dodge, but Sagel didn't intend to avoid it. He crossed his arms above his head, catching the sword and pushing it upward, dispersing the sword of light. With his arms extended, he unleashed a massive aura shockwave.
"Even a real monkey has emotions."
Long ago, they had already known each other.
Beckapank researched world-changing technology, and he was responsible for security, and over time, they became good friends.
Later, Bear joined this research institute because of his daughter, and he also interacted with Bear while taking care of Bonie.
He was well-versed in the history of the Bakani tribe.
Bear wasn't a tyrant, nor was he a member of the Rebellion. He was just a pitiful man who sacrificed himself for his daughter.
They lived together, laughed together, played together, ate together, and danced together. He even joined in the Nika zhi wu, the spiritual pillar of the Bakani tribe, which, according to legend, could liberate everything.
At this moment, it was real.
He didn't want his old friend to die.
In comparison, if it were just dealing with Sagel
"I have my own responsibilities, too. The Navy, of course, is here to deal with pirates!"
Huang Yuan's body shimmered with light, and in an instant, countless shadows emerged, all reaching towards Sagel below, and a beam of light was formed.
The clones were fake, but they were also real.
Because they were formed from light, and the light they emitted was also real.
But the original body...
"It's not just you who can do this!"
Sagel took a deep breath, and his body burst upwards, creating layers of afterimages around him. He swiftly darted through Huang Yuan's clones, dispersing them like bubbles. The afterimages suddenly converged like a whirlwind, transforming Sagel into a massive tornado. As he broke through the remaining clones, he directly confronted Huang Yuan, who had drawn his lightsaber once more.
"Sagel, you little punk!"
Huang Yuan raised his lightsaber and shouted, slashing at the hurricane.
"Old Monkey!"
The hurricane dissipated, revealing Sagel's body. He leaned forward, allowing the lightsaber to strike his waist, but the high-speed spinning kick he unleashed also slammed into Huang Yuan's head at the moment of attack.
"Tianmo haoyuan!!"
Swoosh!
Bang!!
A beam of light shot out from Sagel's foot, flying all the way to the other side of the island, colliding with a docked warship, and sinking into it.
"Vice Admiral Huang Yuan!!"
The sailors inside the warship, after a moment of chaos, spotted Huang Yuan lying amidst the ruins, and they cried out in shock.
Huang Yuan covered his face with one hand and picked up a small Dengra_rl with the other, pressing a button.
"Bolusarilinuo."
The small Dengra_rl emitted a deep voice.
"I'm sorry."
Huang Yuan weakly said, "I'm no match for Tianzai. I was hit in the head and can't move for now."
"Tianzai, I understand."
The call ended, leaving Huang Yuan lying in the ruins, covering his face, motionless.
At this moment, he had no desire to fight.
The higher one's position, the more one understands. In the past, perhaps he could have killed without hesitation to maintain stability.
That secret should not be known to others, as it could cause turmoil.
But when it came to friends,
He had done what he had to do.
So be it.
He was tired.
"This old monkey..."
Sagel stared in the direction where the light had faded, and the wound on his waist, inflicted by the lightsaber, smoked and gradually healed. He clicked his tongue, "Clearly without any intention to fight, yet you insist on stopping me. Hmph, quite the performance."
It was palpable.
Although both were in control, the current Huang Yuan seemed more chaotic compared to his initial carefree attitude towards life and death. He had lost all his fighting spirit.
Even so, that incredibly fast speed was still a formidable challenge.
That kick, if calculated, should not have landed.
However, after Sagel's kick connected, he didn't even feel the resistance of the aura. Huang Yuan had taken the blow with his physical body.
His aura's destructive power was infused with Beidoushenquan, and getting hit by it could be fatal or, at the very least, extremely painful.
Allowing him to do this
Sagel descended from the air and looked up at the egg shell above, frowning. "Is the Navy really going to kill Beckapank? Has he touched upon history as well?"
The World Government he knew only cared about ruling and stability and wouldn't hesitate to eliminate anyone who threatened it. Even pirates, in their eyes, were insignificant.
The only thing that could truly threaten their stability
was the blank century!
