Faced with the Sea King's attack, Yeyin swiftly dodged using Moonwalk. It wouldn't be fun getting hit by that huge creature!
"Dual Sword Style: Cross Slash!"
Yeyin charged forward again, aiming directly at the Sea King's eye.
Splat...
However, the Sea King quickly shut its eyes, and the Cross Slash barely scratched its eyelid.
"Heh, its defense is truly remarkable!"
At this moment, Yeyin finally understood just how strong Garp must have been to take down a Sea King with just one punch. It wasn't just about Haki, but also physical strength and raw power.
"Let's see if you can handle this!" Yeyin said, sheathing his sword "Rainfall" into his personal storage space and drawing "Muramasa" instead.
This was a Supreme Grade Sword.
Moreover, he hadn't even used Haki earlier!
"This is your first battle; you'd better show off your true strength!" Yeyin said, gripping the sword with both hands before launching a sudden assault.
At this point, Yeyin could maintain Moonwalk while using Shave, dramatically increasing his speed to over a thousand points.
Slash!
The previously unbreakable eyelid was effortlessly cut open by Muramasa.
"Heh, it's really sharp!" Yeyin smiled faintly and continued slashing.
"Single Sword Style: Hundred Birds!"
Buzz!~
Yeyin, still using Moonwalk, lightly flicked his long blade, and the blood that had coated it instantly disappeared. Meanwhile, the Sea King, still standing, began to bleed profusely. The blood splatter formed into small birds, fluttering in the air.
Swoosh...
A few seconds later, the Sea King collapsed. Blood quickly spread through the water, turning the surrounding sea red.
"I need to hurry."
Yeyin landed on the Sea King's body and placed his hand on it.
[Ding! You've collected the Sea King's corpse. You've gained 3 sources of life, 200 points of strength, and 200 points of defense.
"You've gained 700 collection points."]
After looting the Sea King's body, Yeyin swiftly used Moonwalk to return to the battleship.
Soon, countless other Sea Kings began appearing.
Seeing the massive creatures emerging behind him, Yeyin felt both anxious and excited.
On one hand, the sheer number and strength of the Sea Kings were intimidating.
On the other hand, the prospect of collecting so many sources of life was exhilarating!
But for now, he didn't have the strength to endlessly hunt them here.
Looks like he'd have to ask Garp to take him out here for some fun sometime.
After returning to the battleship, they immediately accelerated and headed toward the West Sea.
With an Eternal Pose guiding them, they didn't have to worry about getting lost.
Before long, the Sea Kings behind them disappeared from sight.
"Commander Yeyin, charging into battle against the Sea King like that, without any regard for your safety..."
"Hina is very angry!"
Hina, fuming with anger, stormed over to Yeyin.
"I..."
Thud!
Before Yeyin could finish his sentence, he collapsed on the deck.
Though he had defeated the Sea King, maintaining Moonwalk, using Shave, and unleashing Hundred Birds while constantly using Armament Haki had completely drained him.
Seeing him faint, Hina quickly rushed him to the ship's cabin.
Shortly after, the ship's doctor, who also served as a navigator, came over to tend to him.
