"This..."
Even Chinjao, a veteran of countless battles, was stunned by what he witnessed. His Happo Navy, renowned for surviving numerous conflicts, was now being defeated by marines led by a mere captain.
Worse still, Boo was being overpowered by Akos, and his other elite subordinates were being held in check by Hina.
"Chinjao, isn't your Happo Navy supposed to be strong?" Yeyin stood up slowly and taunted, "Send in another 300 men."
"You…"
Boom!
At that moment, Boo was struck by Akos and sent flying to Chinjao's feet.
"Hmph! We, the Happo Navy, aren't some lowly, despicable pirates!" Chinjao stood up, radiating a powerful aura. Though not overwhelming, it was undeniably Conqueror's Haki.
"Captain Yeyin, was it?" Chinjao continued, "How about a battle between leaders?"
"Alright, I accept your challenge," Yeyin replied calmly, stepping forward.
"Challenge? I'm not here to challenge you; I'm here to crush you!" Chinjao leaped onto the deck.
"Very well, let's see what you can do." Yeyin's eyes flashed as he walked onto the deck, his Sharingan activating. His eyes, crimson with twin tomoe, locked onto Chinjao.
"Red eyes... such a sinister aura," Chinjao muttered.
"Sinister? Then let me show you something even darker."
"System, consume 100,000 points to upgrade the Sharingan," Yeyin instructed.
"Ding, 100,000 points consumed, injecting ocular power."
As the system's voice echoed, a strange power surged into Yeyin's eyes.
Twin Tomoe Sharingan: Enhances mental attacks and vision. Grants Phantom Shock (a mental impact) and Illusionary Strangulation (pulls the opponent into an illusion where they experience being strangled).
With the new information displayed on the system interface, Yeyin slowly opened his eyes, realizing he had gained an additional genjutsu ability. Due to the lack of chakra in this world, he knew other jutsu might be unusable.
Yeyin's eyes, now showing twin tomoe, locked on Chinjao.
"This aura... you possess Conqueror's Haki too!" Chinjao sensed the unique presence emanating from Yeyin.
"Let's see whose Haki is stronger," Chinjao declared, unleashing his own Conqueror's Haki.
As their Haki clashed, a powerful wave burst forth.
Boom, boom, boom…
One by one, members of the Happo Navy fell unconscious, while the marines only felt slightly dizzy but quickly retreated. Their prior training had toughened them up, thanks to Issho's gravity fields and Yeyin's intermittent Conqueror's Haki bursts. Though not immune, they had built some resistance.
"A strong Conqueror's Haki indeed," Yeyin remarked. "But now... Phantom Shock."
A powerful wave of mental energy surged out from Yeyin.
"Urgh…"
Chinjao let out a muffled groan, his face contorted in shock.
