Chapter 17 One punch shatters the dream of promotion! My name is Chen Ye, remember that!
Chen Ye's body finally began to move.
There was no earth-shattering burst of power.
There was no lightning-fast dodge either.
He simply took a half-step to the left, very gently.
It's just such a simple little step.
"call out--!"
The cannonball, powerful enough to shatter rocks, seemed to have eyes; it grazed his nose, narrowly missing him, before plunging into the sea behind him, sending up a towering column of water.
Followed by.
The second shell whistled over his head.
Chen Ye leaned back slightly, the gust of wind from the shells ruffling his black hair.
The third shell went straight for his calf.
He lightly lifted his foot and dodged the shell's attack.
The fourth one, the fifth one, the sixth one...
Under the stunned gaze of everyone!
Chen Ye's every movement was extremely small, yet every dodge was precise down to the millimeter.
Take a stroll.
So elegant, it was as if they were not walking through gunfire, but taking a stroll under the moonlight.
Dozens of shells were fired, but none hit their target.
After the last shell fell into the sea, creating the last wave.
The entire sea surface fell into an eerie, deathly silence.
Everyone was so shocked by this inhuman scene that they were speechless.
On the naval warship, Vice Admiral Doberman, who ordered the shelling, had his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
The naval soldiers around him rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating.
"What...what is that?"
"A monster?"
On the Moby Dick, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were completely silent.
Vista's fingers, gripping the sword hilt, turned slightly white from the force.
He prided himself on his superb swordsmanship and agile movements, but he could never have achieved such an unbelievable level.
This is no longer a matter of skill.
Can one have a brief foresight of the future?
This kid's interesting!
"Gurala la la..."
Only the white-bearded man on the throne slowly grinned, letting out a low, pleasant laugh.
Chen Ye slowly straightened up and patted his sleeves.
He raised his head and looked at the naval warships in the distance that had temporarily stopped firing due to shock, his eyes calm and undisturbed.
"Warm-up is over."
He murmured to himself.
next second.
He took a deep breath, stepped back half a step with his right leg, and assumed a standard horse stance for punching.
An indescribable aura of terror began to rise from his body.
"What is he going to do?"
"That position?"
Marco's brow twitched suddenly, a familiar feeling welling up inside him.
Chen Ye slowly raised his right fist.
It was pitch black, devoid of any Armament Haki.
There were no dazzling light effects either.
But centered on his fist, the surrounding air began to emit faint crackling sounds, as if the space itself could not withstand the power that was about to erupt and was being torn apart inch by inch.
A visible white halo, like cracks in glass, enveloped his fist.
That was his true trump card, which he had kept hidden since the system exchanged it, and had never revealed to anyone.
A fragment of power from the "world's strongest man".
[Rank B - Master of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability]!
"Use you as examples to test the strength of this power."
Chen Ye's gaze was fixed on the command ship at the very front, which was personally overseen by Vice Admiral Mole.
then.
Facing the giant steel ship hundreds of meters away.
A punch was thrown from a distance!
No sound.
There was no shockwave.
There was not even any sign of energy being released.
His punch seemed to have hit empty air; it was soft and powerless.
The sailors were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.
"Ha! What's that kid doing? Talking nonsense from this distance?"
"Was he scared out of his wits?"
However, their laughter lasted for less than a second before it abruptly stopped.
A crisp sound, like shattering glass, suddenly resounded throughout the entire sea.
"Crackling sound—!"
There it was, the enormous naval command ship.
Without warning, a spiderweb-like crack appeared on its incredibly sturdy steel bow!
The moment the crack appeared, it spread wildly at a speed that exceeded everyone's reaction limits!
One becomes two, two becomes four, and four becomes countless!
In the blink of an eye!
Cracks then spread to every corner of the entire warship!
From bow to stern, from deck to cabin, from mast to gun emplacement!
In the horrified eyes of the naval soldiers.
Under the utterly horrified gazes of the Whitebeard Pirates.
That huge steel warship was like a piece of porcelain that had been hit by a heavy hammer.
"boom--!!!"
It was accompanied by a deafening roar.
It disintegrated with a bang!
It shattered into thousands of steel fragments of varying sizes, exploding like a shower of flowers, before helplessly falling into the surging sea, creating towering waves!
The whole world seemed to have been muted.
At this moment, everyone's mind went completely blank.
The sea breeze caressed Chenye's clothes.
He slowly withdrew his fist, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked calm.
Behind him, the Moby Dick was deathly silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
All the crew members, including Marco, Joz, and Vista, stared intently at the not-so-tall figure with the eyes of someone looking at a god or demon.
One punch.
Remotely.
It destroyed a main warship of the Navy Headquarters.
Is this really the kind of power a newcomer can exude?
On the distant sea, Lieutenant General Doberman, soaked to the bone, finally managed to climb out of the churning water onto a floating plank.
He raised his head and looked at the god-like figure at the bow of the ship. The color drained from his face instantly, leaving only endless fear.
His eyes looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Gurala la la..."
"Guralalalalalalalala!"
The deathly silence was finally shattered by a deafening burst of wild laughter!
The white-bearded man slowly rose from his throne. He looked at Chen Ye's back with unprecedented appreciation and satisfaction in his eyes, and then burst into laughter!
That was a feeling of pride and joy that came from the bottom of my heart!
Well done! He's truly my son!
The moment the laughter rang out, the system's cold yet pleasant notification sounded in Chen Ye's mind.
