"An electric saw? What is it?"
Ebben twisted his neck and made a creaking sound. "This move of mine is called Absolute Cut!"
"Absolute Cut?"
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
Vlad leaned back in his chair and laughed uncontrollably. "What a good name! Absolute Cut!"
"Hmph!"
Although Ebben was short-sighted and arrogant, it did not mean that he was a fool. Of course, he could hear the mockery in Vlad's tone.
"If you want to be arrogant, take it now!"
Ebben was not angry. There was no need to be angry with a person who was about to die.
"I will cut you into a human stick! Don't worry, my absolute cut is extremely sharp. I guarantee that you will still be alive after I cut you!" Ebben's tone was very cold.
"Oh!" Vlad leaned back in his chair and stretched out his right index finger. "Then let's give it a try!"
"Arrogant!"
Ebben strode forward, his speed extremely fast. Although he was a little overconfident, he had not failed to live up to his two hundred and eighty million bounty.
"Die!"
Ebben had a ferocious smile on his face, with a buzzing vibration in the air. His arm, like an electric saw, was already slashing towards the defenseless Vlad.
"Ha!"
Vlad chuckled, without any intention of dodging. He watched helplessly as Ebben's electric saw slashed towards his arm.
"Is that kid scared silly? He didn't move at all?"
"Of course, the captain is a man who can be on par with the Shichibukai. I'm afraid that the kid's brain is already empty when facing the captain's attack!"
"He must be regretting it now. He should regret offending the captain!"
"Unfortunately, regret is useless. The captain will not forgive him!"
"He's dead, this kid is dead for sure!"
"Not only will they die, but they will also die miserably!"
The pirates around discussed with cruel smiles on their faces. They couldn't wait to see the miserable end of Vlad. As pirates who could break into the new world, they were not lacking in cruelty and blood.
"Zi"
A sharp voice sounded, and suddenly sparks flew.
"What?"
Ebben was shocked. The current situation was completely beyond his expectations.
A layer of black substance had been attached to Vlad's exposed shoulder. From Ebben's point of view, this was nothing extraordinary.
However, it was this thing that did not seem to be anything extraordinary that completely blocked his invincible absolute cut. Although sparks flew, Ebben could clearly feel that his sawtooth had not invaded at all. It was directly blocked by that layer of black substance.
"Is it Haki?"
Ebben remembered that Jinbe seemed to have used such a move before. At that time, he did not care about it, but he did not expect that this move called "Haki" was so powerful.
"Ha!"
Ebben roared and used his other hand to cut at Vlad's neck. He had completely given up the idea of turning Vlad into a human stick.
"Ha!"
Vlad shook his head in amusement. Haven't you realized the difference? Interesting.
"Zi"
"Damn it!"
Ebben cursed in his heart.
Just like the previous version, Ebben's electric saw could not do anything to Vlad at all. The thin layer of Busoshoku Haki became an insurmountable barrier for Ebben.
"Sigh! Is that all?"
Vlad said in a carefree manner.
"It can't be, right?"
"Am I seeing things?"
"Captain's Absolute Cut? It actually..."
"It actually didn't hurt that kid?"
"Damn it!"
Ebben roared,
He turned around and threw his arm at Vlad's head.
"En!"
Vlad frowned, still sitting on the chair. His long legs came first, and he kicked Ebben in the chest. Ebben was sent flying back as if he had been hit by a marine car. A large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth and smashed directly into the cabin.
"Although I wanted to know what level you were at just now! I deliberately tried,"
Vlad was still leisurely leaning on the back of the chair and said, "But after I finish testing, please don't be so presumptuous!"
"He actually?"
"He actually kicked the captain away?"
"The captain of the Shichibukai level was actually kicked away?"
"Ah"
With a loud roar, a tall figure rushed out from the ruins and pounced directly at Vlad.
"Do you still not understand the gap between us?" Vlad smiled indifferently.
"Go to hell!"
Ebben's eyes flashed with madness. He would never admit that the gap between him and the man in front of him was so big. He would never admit it.
His right arm stretched out, and the sawtooth grew on it. It was spinning violently, really like an electric saw.
Ebben waved his extended arm as if he was waving a big sword, chopping down on Vlad's head.
"Go to hell! I am the strongest!"
Vlad was disdainful. If anger could change the absolute difference in strength, then what was the point of cultivating? What was the use of the devil fruit?
Vlad stretched out his right index finger, which was already covered in fiery red scales.
"Scorching Ray!"
A golden flame ignited at the tip of Vlad's index finger. Then, it turned into a thin line of fire and shot out, directly piercing through Ebben's chest.
"Ah!"
Ebben, who had been running wildly, suddenly fell to his knees. A sharp pain came from his chest.
"Chi!"
Golden flames ignited from Ebben's chest and quickly spread throughout his entire body.
"Ah"
Ebben let out an inhuman scream.
"Captain!"
Someone rushed over to extinguish the flames on Ebben's body, took out a piece of clothing and began to whip the flames on Ebben's body, but unfortunately, the flames of Vlad could not be directly extinguished.
Not only did the flames not extinguish, but they quickly spread along the clothes to the pirate, so there was one more person lying on the ground screaming.
"Pa!"
Vlad snapped his fingers, and the flames that had begun to spread towards the ship suddenly extinguished. The originally arrogant Ebben could only lie on the deck and breathe heavily.
"How is it?" Vlad smiled. "Now do you finally understand the vastness of the sea?"
"I won't!"
Ebben, whose entire body was charred black, muttered to himself, "No, how can the world be so vast!"
"Alright, the entertainment program ends here,"
Vlad stood up. His eyes had turned golden, and his pupils were elongated. Pieces of fiery red scales appeared on his face. "Now, I declare that I will take over this ship!"
An explosive momentum roared out, and the entire ship creaked as if it would fall apart at any moment.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
The eyes of the pirates on the ship turned white and they lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
"Huh?"
Vlad suddenly reacted, "They all passed out! Who will crew the ship now?!"
