Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er never expected that Ye Yu would dare to charge forward.
What had been said earlier already highlighted the Tiger man's prowess. Xia Ling believed that with enough time, she could defeat the Tiger man in a one-on-one fight. But now, with his strength doubled, Xia Ling felt she couldn't win against him, meaning the Tiger man was currently stronger than her.
Thus, teaming up with Zhao Yan'er would be necessary to take down the Tiger man. Yet, Ye Yu, upon seeing her injured, charged forward alone.
Despite her words clearly conveying the Tiger man's strength, Ye Yu still rushed in alone. Was he so angered by her injury that he lost his rationality?
There was no time to think or be shocked. Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er quickly rushed forward, eager to assist Ye Yu.
Even if Ye Yu was stronger than they imagined, he was still no match for the Tiger man, and the gap in strength was significant. After all, neither Xia Ling nor Zhao Yan'er could defeat the Tiger man alone.
As they charged, Zhao Yan'er continued to exclaim, "Ye Yu, stop! Don't fight him! You're no match for him!"
Xia Ling was even more anxious and worried, fearing something might happen to Ye Yu.
"Brother Yu, come back! He's not someone you can handle. Leave it to me and Yan'er..."
However, in the next moment, Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er's eyes widened in disbelief.
What unfolded before them was so shocking that they instantly halted their charge, stunned as they watched the scene unfold.
Ye Yu drew the Black Blade Night from his back, gripping it in his right hand, and with a simple swing, a dazzling emerald-green Slash erupted.
The Tiger man's expression changed drastically as he sensed the terrifying power of the Slash, which instantly tore a trench into the ground.
The Tiger man's Claws shot out like blades, slashing fiercely, releasing five white streaks of light.
Yet, upon clashing with Ye Yu's Slash, the five streaks crumbled instantly.
The Tiger man's eyes widened, his pupils contracting as the emerald-green Slash loomed larger in his vision. He quickly crossed his arms to block, his arms turning pitch black, covered in Armament Haki.
Clang!
A metallic clang rang out as the Tiger man blocked with his arms, but he was swiftly forced back, skidding twenty meters away, leaving a trail on the ground. His arms, now torn apart by the Armament Haki, let out a piercing scream.
"Ah!!"
With a sickening squelch, the Tiger man's arms were severed at the midpoint, the halves of his arms and hands falling to the ground, blood gushing from the cuts.
The Tiger man was in excruciating pain, his heart filled with terror. How could he be so strong? At this stage, how could someone be this powerful?
Ye Yu's voice was icy, "You left a wound on Sister Ling's arm, so I'll cut off both of yours first."
Behind him, Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er remained frozen in place, staring in shock at the scene.
This was too strong. With just one slash, Ye Yu had severed the Tiger man's arms. Neither of them could have done that.
Ye Yu turned back, smiling slightly, and revealed, "Actually, neither of you are a match for me either."
Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er were both shaken and somewhat embarrassed. After all, they had just urged Ye Yu to stop, saying he was no match for the Tiger man. Now, it seemed they were wrong.
Xia Ling was stunned, unable to believe it, "Brother Yu, how... how are you so strong?"
Zhao Yan'er was also astonished: "That slash just now was incredibly powerful. Even if I were to unleash my Fire Fist, I probably wouldn't be able to withstand it."
Ye Yu sighed helplessly: "Didn't I tell you? I'm quite strong, and the reason I want to be the Captain is because my strength surpasses yours."
Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er were still in a daze. Ye Yu, who had contracted seven Non-Ability Users, was actually stronger than them.
Ye Yu said, "We'll talk about the details later. First, I need to deal with this Tiger man."
At that moment, the Tiger man let out a furious roar, opening his tiger-like mouth and hissing. A white light sphere began to gather in his mouth.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
In the next instant, more than ten small light spheres were rapidly spat out, faster than bullets, shooting towards Ye Yu from different angles. Simultaneously, the Tiger King was also moving swiftly. In an instant, light spheres were continuously and rapidly shooting towards Ye Yu from all directions.
Xia Ling hurriedly warned, "Yu, brother..."
Xia Ling decided to change her address because Ye Yu was too strong.
"Yu, the power of his light spheres is immense. Don't get hit."
Earlier, inside the wooden door, they had naturally faced it. If it weren't for quickly using Body Elementalization to turn into ice, the injuries would have been worse.
However, in the next second, they were once again shocked.
They saw Ye Yu's body flickering rapidly, leaving behind afterimages as he dodged all the light spheres. Even when the spheres came from behind, he dodged them without even turning his head.
Zhao Yan'er was stunned: "Such incredible speed, and his Observation Haki is also amazing! Xia Ling, your brother Yu hasn't become ordinary at all because of contracting Non-Ability Users. He's too strong, far stronger than us."
Xia Ling was both shocked and delighted, recalling the earlier situation with some embarrassment. She had even said she would protect Ye Yu, but now it was clear that Ye Yu was the one protecting her.
While swiftly dodging, Ye Yu rapidly closed in on the Tiger King. With a single slash, even though the Tiger King dodged at full speed, he was still grazed, leaving a deep, long gash on his body.
The Tiger King grew increasingly alarmed as his injuries worsened. The swordsmanship was terrifying; every slash was overwhelmingly powerful.
There were no fancy moves, no shouting of techniques—just straightforward slashes, yet each one unleashed an incredibly strong Slash.
Moreover, it wasn't just the swordsmanship. His Armament Haki, Observation Haki, speed, and reactions were all terrifying.
When the Tiger King closed in and kicked out with his right foot, Ye Yu spun around and slashed towards his back.
The Tiger King felt a bit relieved because this time, there was no Slash unleashed, so the power should be...
Boom!
"Ah!"
The sharp claws on the Tiger King's right foot collided with the Black Blade and were directly cut off. The terrifying force sent the Tiger King flying backward.
Whoosh!
In a flash, Ye Yu swiftly charged towards the Tiger King, arriving behind the flying Tiger King. With his right hand gripping the Black Blade Night, he raised it high and brought it down with a powerful slash.
Clang!
An Emerald Light Slash erupted, and with a sickening crunch, the Tiger King's body was cleaved in two. He let out a piercing scream before collapsing dead.
A notification echoed.
"Mystic Realm cleared. Beginning teleportation back to the original location."
Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er were completely dumbfounded. It had ended so quickly. If it were them working together, it would have taken considerable effort and time to defeat the Tiger King, but Ye Yu had swiftly dealt with him in just a few moves.
After being teleported out, the crew members were filled with joy and amazement.
"That was so fast."
"Incredible, as expected of the Captain and Vice-Captain."
"With such high talent and powerful Devil Fruit abilities, it's no wonder."
"If it were a numbers game, Ye Yu could quickly reduce the numbers too."
...
Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er were both astonished, exchanging g
lances and exclaiming in unison.
"Clearing the Yellow Secret Realm so quickly has nothing to do with us; it was Ye Yu who did it alone. Now, I have an announcement to make."
