This scene once again shook the world.
"My goodness, every time he makes a move, it's so cool."
"That Shi Jian, just a second ago he was saying he wanted to fight Ye Yu, but in the next second he was instantly defeated."
"Is Ye Yu really that strong?"
"Look closely, the rubble is moving, it seems Shi Jian isn't dead."
...
After crawling out, Shi Jian merged his body into the rock, utterly terrified and scared.
"I, I don't dare to fight you anymore."
Ye Yu said, "Sun Long, he's yours."
In a flash, Ye Yu returned to the top of the tall building.
The punch just now was naturally not his full strength; he needed to conserve his energy, so that punch didn't consume any stamina. He had to save it for the battles against Flying Sky and the Overlord Pirates.
If he fought now, even if he could win, the pirate crew would suffer casualties. But if he faced Flying Sky and the Overlord Pirates at his peak, he was confident that the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew wouldn't suffer any deaths.
The reason he acted just now was because he couldn't stand it anymore; it was too much of a show.
Sun Long and the crew members were amazed.
"As expected of our Captain."
"Truly impressive."
"So cool, that was satisfying."
...
Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate, "It's good that it didn't continue, otherwise Shi Jian might have died. Shi Jian is a very important combatant in our pirate crew. In this war, we can't afford too many casualties, especially among the executives. We've already lost Bei Haimi. Executives are the backbone of a pirate crew. It's easy to recruit lower-level, regular crew members, but recruiting executives is difficult. This world lacks geniuses."
Sha La was also relieved, "It's good that he wants to conserve his strength to deal with the arriving Flying Sky and Overlord Pirates, otherwise our casualties might have been really high."
...
At this moment, Lin Muxue started munching on melon seeds again.
"That punch just now should have been his full strength. Such a fast speed, punching through a Rock Giant in one hit, it was definitely a full-power punch. But he also knows he can't keep fighting at full strength. So, I have a rough understanding of his strength now; he's completely no match for me. If it were me, a serious strike would have severely injured or even killed Shi Jian with lightning."
Li Cang nodded, "He's not as strong as you, Xue Er."
...
At this time, Shi Jian didn't dare to put on a show anymore and wanted to get away from here, all because Ye Yu was in the sky not far away.
Fighting here, he was afraid Ye Yu might give him another punch; it was too dangerous.
But when he tried to escape, Sun Long stopped him.
"Big guy, don't run. I'm going to cut you down."
Shi Jian's face turned ugly, and he activated his Devil Fruit ability again, merging with the surrounding rocks, quickly transforming back into a Rock Giant of the same size as before.
However, his stamina was also significantly depleted. Transforming into a Rock Giant twice in a row consumed a lot of energy, he thought to himself.
"I can't break apart again, otherwise it will be hard to transform into a Rock Giant once more. But as long as Ye Yu doesn't attack me again, I'm not afraid. I'll deal with these guys first, then escape."
Shi Jian's massive rock fist came crashing down.
Sun Long, full of enthusiasm, faced the enormous rock fist without dodging or flinching.
The nearby combat crew members' expressions changed in alarm.
"Sun Long, be careful!"
Sun Long calmly said, "Don't worry, just watch. Don't interfere. This is my debut, I can't let anyone help."
Facing the crashing rock fist, Sun Long tightly gripped Wado Ichimonji and Sandai Kitetsu, crossing the two swords in front of him to block.
This caused everyone's expressions to change drastically, and those watching the live stream were in disbelief.
"No way, is he going to rely on his own strength to block it?"
"His weapon will shatter instantly, and he won't be able to withstand it either. This is a Rock Giant we're talking about."
"How can he, a Non-Ability User, possibly block it?"
...
Shi Jian also sneered, thinking Sun Long was done for.
Boom!!
The rock fist came crashing down, causing the ground around Sun Long to cave in and crack, with debris flying everywhere.
But to Shi Jian's shock, he found that his fist was being blocked, unable to move further.
As the dust settled, the surrounding crew members widened their eyes in astonishment. Sun Long had actually managed to block the punch, only sliding back a meter. His arm muscles bulged, exuding a sense of immense power.
Shi Jian was stunned: "He actually blocked it, and his weapon didn't break. His blade has turned into a Black Blade, so it's Armament Haki, no wonder. But, this strength is too much. He managed to block my Rock Giant's fist."
"Two-Sword Style, Eagle Wave!"
A cross-shaped green Slash erupted, carving a deep X-shaped mark into Shi Jian's right fist. The force of the attack even caused Shi Jian to take a step back.
This not only shook Shi Jian but also made him realize that his opponent was no simple foe.
"I didn't expect you to be this strong. It seems you have some skills to be the top Executive. But are you really not a Devil Fruit Ability User?"
Sun Long proudly declared: "If I were a Devil Fruit Ability User, who would claim to be a Non-Ability User? The Non-Ability User I contracted is named: Roronoa Zoro!"
Shi Jian also found this reasoning sound. No Devil Fruit Ability User would ever claim to be a Non-Ability User.
At this moment, too many people were shocked, all watching intently. With Ye Yu not making a move, their focus was now entirely on Sun Long. They wanted to see why he had become the top Executive, and now, it was clear that he was indeed formidable.
"A Non-Ability User, this strong?"
"Could it be that we've been misunderstanding all along? Non-Ability Users aren't trash."
"Let's just say, powerful Non-Ability Users aren't trash. They might even be stronger than Artificial Devil Fruit users. But I still think Sun Long can't beat Shi Jian. He said he only contracted one. If it were multiple, maybe he could be as strong as Ye Yu, but with just one, he definitely can't surpass the Stone-Stone Fruit."
...
At this moment, Sun Long bit Wado Ichimonji in his mouth with his right hand and then drew Enma.
Suddenly, everyone was taken aback.
"A sword in each hand, and one in his mouth."
"That's quite rare."
"Three-Sword Style?"
...
For a moment, even more people watched with curiosity.
Ye Yu, standing on the high building, also watched with great interest. Even though he could predict the outcome, it was still worthwhile to witness Zoro's techniques firsthand.
Sun Long's eyes turned sharp, and in an instant, his aura intensified.
"I need to finish this quickly. Dragging it out will only consume more energy. I'll take you down and then go help the others."
Shi Jian was astonished: "So now you're getting serious, huh? But you still can't defeat me. Die, Sun Long!"
Shi Jian's fists came crashing down simultaneously, with a faint layer of Armament Haki covering his rock fists. Though not masterful, it still enhanced his defense and strength slightly.
Sun Long still didn't dodge. Instead, he gripped his swords with both hands, bit one with his mouth, and charged forward.
This scene had too many people watching intently. The crew members nearby were fixated, and countless others were glued to the live stream, not daring to blink.
As Sun Long charged forward, a sharp, chilling sound rang out.
"Nine Mountains, Eight Seas, as One World. Gather a thousand worlds to form a small thousand worlds. Multiply this world by three, and there is nothing I cannot cut!"
Bang!
Suddenly, Sun Long kicked off the ground, shattering the surface beneath him as he leapt into the air, charging forward like an arrow released from a bow.
As Sun Long rapidly closed in on the Rock Giant in mid-air, the muscles in his arms bulged. He tightly gripped Wado Ichimonji and Sandai Kitetsu, spinning the two swords rapidly in front of him like a roaring windmill. Waves of white energy expanded outward, accompanied by a sharp, chilling sound.
"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique!"
"One Great Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds!!!"
Clang!!!
As the icy words fell, accompanied by a piercing metallic ring, Sun Long flashed past the Rock Giant and appeared behind it in the next instant.
Crack! The Rock Giant's waist was cleanly severed horizontally, separating its upper and lower halves. The cut was as smooth as a mirror!
With a single slash, the massive Rock Giant was split in two! The visual impact was overwhelming!
In an instant, all the surrounding crew members widened their eyes, their mouths agape, frozen in shock.
Countless viewers watching the live stream were also left utterly speechless!
Ye Yu smiled slightly and praised, "As expected of the top executive of my Dominant Feather Pirate Crew."
