Eternal Night

Chapter 710 The Realization of Face-Saving Fruit!

(PS: I spent a lot of time helping my child with homework. Okay, this is the third update.)
The giant and the youth never expected that Wu Pifu would be hostile towards them.

The two exchanged a quick, discreet glance, and the young man immediately said, "We are admirals of the Republic of Lance. Everyone in the world of order thanks this gentleman..."

"Thanks you, you son of a bitch!"

Wu Pifu slashed with his sword, the blade twisting and turning, enveloping both the youth and the giant simultaneously. In an instant, both the giant and the youth felt a chill run through their bodies, and a deadly premonition of threat appeared in their hearts at the same time. Almost without thinking, all sorts of bones appeared all over the youth's body, and in less than a fraction of a second, they instantly transformed into a huge bone ball. Meanwhile, a spatial distortion layer appeared around the giant's body, and his enormous form seemed to begin to become hazy.

But when the suicidal blade slashed across, the bone ball was easily shredded as if it were tofu. No matter how tough the bone layers were, they all turned into air within five steps of Wu Pifu. In the blink of an eye, Wu Pifu had already cut through the bone ball and rushed out from the other end. Then, like lightning, he flashed in front of the giant, who had become as thin as a sheet. The blade followed him, cutting through within five steps as well.

This spatial distortion could deflect and block almost all attacks, but within five steps of Wu Pifu, under the blade, this spatial distortion layer was as thin as paper, and was pierced by a single cut, without even the slightest effect of blocking. Just before the giant turned into a thin sheet and disappeared, Wu Pifu brought down his blade, directly slicing off half of the giant's shoulder and one arm.

In just one round, two clearly very powerful generals were defeated by Wu Pifu.

The bone fragments fell into the sea, and the giant general reappeared tens of thousands of meters away, but half of his shoulder was gone, and a spurt of blood gushed out. The bleeding was then stopped by the spatial distortion layer, but his face was frighteningly pale.

On the other side, just as the bone ball was about to hit the ground, suddenly a large number of bone fragments transformed into a huge bone wing. It flapped its wings powerfully on the sea surface and then took flight, also heading towards the giant.

"Space Fruit and Bone Fruit?"

Wu Pifu naturally knew that this world had the extraordinary path of Devil Fruits. He did not continue to pursue them. The fact that these two could survive his single strike was quite impressive. Wounding them with one strike was a punishment for their mistakes of disturbing others' battle and maliciously launching a sneak attack. As for whether to continue the fight, that was up to them.

"No, it's the Logia-type Gravity Fruit and the Paramecia-type Bone-Bone Fruit."

A slightly weak voice came from the sea surface. Two officers from the Sea Emperor pulled Baghdad from the seabed. Although he was not dead, he had completely recovered from his gear form. His face was pale and blood stained the sea surface. He was seriously injured.

Wu Pifu looked at the two generals in the distance. The giant's shoulder was slow to recover, and half of the youth's body had turned into bare bones, and flesh and blood had not yet returned. Both of them looked at him and Baghdad with extremely wary eyes.

Baghdad chuckled and said, "You actually saved me? Perhaps you want to join my ranks?"

Wu Pifu scoffed, "You weakling?"

Baghdad laughed twice. By then, two officers had helped him back onto the Sea Emperor. Although he was weak, he still managed to stand up, leaning on his Guan Dao: "You stood up for the people on this island, and I thought you were a righteous person. But then you saved me from a sneak attack by two generals of the Order faction. What's the plan? Speak your mind... To be honest, you are stronger than me. If you want to kill me now, you can do it with one strike at most, or you can just give me a quick death."

Wu Pifu asked doubtfully, "Weren't you the one who came to attack this island? I was on the island, and you gave the order to kill them all. So what's wrong with me fighting back?"

Baghdad was taken aback: "Just for this?"

Wu Pifu nodded seriously and said, "Although you are an evil person and have killed countless people, you have never done anything to humiliate humans. Moreover, you would not kill the ordinary people under your command. So even if I were to be your enemy, I would defeat and kill you in a fair and square battle. I was disturbed today and it was not pleasant at all. Forget it."

Wu Pifu sheathed his knife in front of Baghdad, and the meaning of this was obvious to everyone.

Baghdad's eyes lit up, but he still asked, "I kill everyone, men, women, and children without exception. Would you people from the Order faction really be so kind to me?"

Wu Pifu said indifferently, "They... those people in the port, whether they have ships or live on the islands, all of them are killed when they encounter your pirates. I haven't seen them show any mercy. This is just a conflict between your factions. It has nothing to do with whether they are inhuman or not. It's all a human matter. I don't care."

With Wu Pifu's emotional perception, and since these people had no relevant defensive measures, they could naturally sense everything.

The pirates, upon landing on the island, indiscriminately killed anyone they encountered, regardless of age or gender. Wu Pifu was initially furious, but upon closer inspection, he sensed something amiss.

The situation in this world is quite peculiar. For some unknown reason, it is divided into two camps: Order and Pirates. If we were to call them true pirates, that would be one thing. Although the pirates in this world rob and kill, they also have their own pirate islands and pirate ports. Although they do not have a country, they are no different from a country. They also farm and trade. The Order camp also robs pirates, and the pirate camp also robs the Order camp and major ports. They fight each other and have accumulated countless hatreds.

This sentiment wasn't just expressed by the pirates who landed; the people on the island shared the same feeling. Both sides were determined to exterminate the other, so there was no question of one side committing a massacre or being inhumane.

Aside from murder, Wu Pifu thought back carefully and realized he hadn't seen any instances of rape or abuse; it was mostly clean and efficient killings.

Killing is not cruel to living beings. If one cruels living beings and enjoys the cruelty, then one is not human.

That's why, in Wu Pifu's eyes, Baghdad was just a bad person, but still a human being. As for whether he was evil or not... why should he care whether others were good or bad?

Baghdad was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Just based on your thinking, you'd be categorized as a pirate by them. The people of the Order faction are the most hypocritical and deceitful... And do you think I can still leave? Two generals have already come out, I don't believe the people from the other two empires won't come."

There are three great empires in this world, but only one of them actually has "empire" in its name: the Saint Elsa Empire, the Starry Sea Merchant Alliance, and the Republic of Lance. There are also many island city-states of varying sizes, but these three empires are the strongest.

As expected, as Baghdad's voice fell, people began to appear from afar. Some came with thunder, some with flames surging behind them, some appeared as bubbles, and one even rode a flying dragon.

Including the giant with the Gravity-Gravity Fruit, the young man with the Bone-Bone Fruit, and seven other people, a total of nine admirals arrived, along with three different fleet groups that appeared at the edge of the sea and sky.

Baghdad scoffed, "If I were at my peak, would these petty scoundrels dare to show their faces? But today is probably my death day, hahaha, what a pity, I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the scenery of the Upper Realm!"

After saying that, Baghdad burst into laughter.

Wu Pifu sensed from his emotions that this person was genuinely unafraid of death, and his personality was indeed characterized by a certain frankness and nonchalance.

On the contrary, the generals harbored many wicked intentions. Although they were all from the Order faction, the people of the three empires each carried malice towards the other two empires. This included considering whether to sabotage the two generals of the Republic of Lance, seizing the Sea Emperor's Compass or its fragments, and whether to kill everyone in the port to cover up the truth of the battle...

In short, compared to the pirates, the people in the Order faction, although still human, are far more malicious.

Wu Pifu felt that the pirates in this world, at least the Baghdad and his crew he had seen so far, seemed more like armed adventurers.
Just then, Wu Pifu paused, then suddenly turned around and looked towards the island.

Xu Shilan was conveying her thoughts to him through intense emotions.

Wu Pifu had been keeping a close eye on Xu Shilan, Amadei, the three small animals, and the golden tree bonsai. His emotional perception and martial arts intuition were almost always present around them. After all, the situation in this world was special, and he was really afraid that a moment of carelessness would lead to something he would regret.

So when Xu Shilan became emotional, he immediately noticed.

This is actually a method that Xu Shilan once knew only because she had a younger brother with a super brain. As long as the super brain perceives her, she can actually "talk" to the other party when she is emotionally intense.

"...to gain immense fame in this world, making the Dog Egg's name resound throughout the seas, and if possible, to dominate the entire world, allowing Xu Shilan and Amadei to choose the most suitable Devil Fruit for them, and to explore the Compass of Fate, establishing a prestigious sanctuary..."

Wu Pifu carefully sensed that, at the end of Xu Shilan's emotional state, she still asked him if he was strong enough to dominate the world alone. If he couldn't, then they could take it slowly; if he could, then now was the best opportunity.

"It's not that it's impossible, it's just..."

Wu Pifu murmured, he was quite troubled, the biggest problem being... as a decisive weapon, once the Magical Girl's Heart Flower is used, it will inevitably draw blood, whoever sees it will die, okay?

"However, it's not necessary to use magical girls. If we use a supercomputer..."

After careful consideration, Wu Pifu made a decision immediately.

He suddenly proclaimed loudly, channeling his inner strength: "I, Wu Pifu, captain of the Dog Egg, have decided to continue the battle with Baghdad until our next meeting. Now, whoever dares to stop him is my enemy, and then..."

Without waiting for anyone around him to react, Wu Pifu raised his knife and pointed it at a deserted spot in the sea. Then, he unleashed a barrage of techniques: martial arts, immortal martial arts, immortal martial arts internal force, domineering aura, and bio-engineered armor... but no magical girl heart flower!

However, he also activated the Super Brain World at the same time!

"I am the only one in heaven and under heaven!"

"Hmph, such a trivial skill, yet you dare to show off your amateurish abilities before an expert!?"

"Hahahaha, I'm invincible now..."

"The world has become filthy again..."

……

In the black and white world, Wu Pifu unleashed ten consecutive slashes, each one a full-force strike, further enhanced by the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon title.

Then, the moment the black and white world disappeared, the whole world fell into a strange silence, like the deepest sound being the rarest, or the greatest form being the rarest. Everyone present inexplicably felt insignificant, insignificant, utterly insignificant...

Then, in their eyes, the sea suddenly split open, the sky suddenly split open, everything within their horizon cracked open, and even space itself seemed to crack open...

A vast valley, stretching for thousands of miles and at least tens of thousands of meters wide, appeared in the sea...

"Please everyone..."

"Give me this face!"

Wu Pifu sheathed his sword, looked back, and everyone fell silent.
