"Hahaha, Ye Chen, I know your abilities are strange, but if that's all you've got, you're dead today!"

Sirius let out a burst of wild laughter, his cold, eerie gaze falling upon Ye Chen, openly revealing his killing intent.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes. No matter how he looked at it, Sirius was at a disadvantage, yet he still dared to say he would kill him. Ye Chen really didn't know where Sirius got his confidence.

"However, Sirius is one of the Eight Kings, so he should have some hidden tricks." Ye Chen's gaze narrowed as he thought to himself.

To be able to reign supreme in a chaotic place like the New World, Sirius must have his extraordinary qualities, surely hiding some trump cards, and it was these trump cards that gave him confidence.

Only then did he dare to face such a situation and still claim he could kill Ye Chen. But what these trump cards were, only Sirius probably knew.

Thinking of this, "443," Ye Chen decided to observe Sirius's methods and see what trump cards he had for now.

"Kill me? You're not even worthy, you stupid dog," Ye Chen mocked.

As he spoke, his body shifted, and a shadow flashed. Ye Chen instantly crossed dozens of meters, appearing in front of Sirius, and slashed with his katana.

"What... when?"

Sirius's pupils immediately constricted. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to appear in front of him so suddenly.

At this moment, a pale white sword qi, mixed with Armament Haki, overflowed.

"Armament Haki."

Seeing the sword qi approaching, Sirius dared not think too much. He quickly activated Armament Haki to cover his body, condensing into a tangible Armament Haki that enveloped Sirius like armor.

At first glance, he looked like a scruffy, black jackal.

"Boom."

A startling roar erupted, and a brilliant white light burst forth in an instant.

Under this powerful attack, Tenrou Island trembled a few times. The mudslide, which had been pushed to the shore by Almighty Push, instantly stirred and continued to move towards the sea.

"Hurry, it's coming again."

"What's happening on the island?"

"Again, density stratification."

The pirates who had previously fled saw the mudslide stop and thought of following Whitebeard and Shanks' routes to check it out. However, they didn't expect that as they approached, the mudslide swept over them again.

Seeing the towering waves, these pirates couldn't help but curse under their breath.

What kind of situation was this?

"......How strong are they?"

On Tenrou Island, Shanks led his crew to Whitebeard's side and slowly asked.

Whitebeard heard this, his gaze focused, sweeping over the three battle locations. He said in a deep voice, "Every one of them is very strong, at least Admiral-level."

"Then who do you think will win today's battle?" Shanks asked, his words implying something.

Whitebeard paused, then said, "I can't see through it. The situation is unclear right now. Kaido hasn't suppressed that dragon yet, and Esdeath is fiercely fighting Jack. Only Sirius here is being suppressed by Ye Chen."

Although Whitebeard spoke lightly, his heart was not calm.

Sirius, Jack, Kaido—the three of them teaming up would make even the Marines or the Four Emperors take them seriously.

Yet, Emperor Descend only sent out two people and one beast, and they had already suppressed the situation, even gaining the upper hand.

He could tell that Sirius was certainly doomed this time; it was just a matter of time.

Once Sirius was dealt with, and Ye Chen joined the other battlefields, the scales of victory would tip towards Emperor Descend.

"I wonder where Emperor Descend came from; there's no trace of his origins."

Shanks said slowly with a sigh.

"Is this your reliance?" Ye Chen's katana rested against Sirius's neck. "You disappoint me greatly."

He thought Sirius had some world-shattering trick, but it turned out he was just skilled in Armament Haki.

Being able to cover one's entire body with Armament Haki was indeed rare in this world, but such an ability was useless to Ye Chen.

Whitebeard could probably smash him with one punch.

"Who told you this was my trump card?" Sirius's mouth curved into a sneer, as if to say, "You're foolish."

As his voice fell, Sirius's body flashed, instantly appearing to Ye Chen's left, his wolf claws reaching for Ye Chen's arm...

"Hiss."

Suddenly, Ye Chen's clothes were torn, and three claw marks appeared on Ye Chen's arm, now dripping with blood.

"What good is it to scratch my arm? It doesn't cause me any damage," Ye Chen looked at Sirius with some helplessness, his gaze carrying a strange expression, as if saying, "You're so stupid, you dumb dog."

Seeing Ye Chen's strange gaze, Sirius didn't get angry; instead, he sneered, "Look at your arm now, you idiot."

Hearing this, Ye Chen lowered his head and looked at his arm. The three claw marks had turned purple, and the blood flowing out had turned black.

"It's poisonous." Seeing this, Ye Chen immediately understood.

At this moment, Sirius sneered repeatedly, "The world thinks I ate the Sirius Fruit, but who knew I ate the Poison Wolf Fruit?"

Finished speaking, Sirius looked at Ye Chen triumphantly and continued, "I know what you're trying to do now, but give up. This poison has no cure. In just one more minute, you'll be poisoned to death."

"So this is your trump card? Doesn't look like much." Ye Chen said with a disappointed look, "No cure? Then let me show you another way to detoxify."

With that, Ye Chen raised his katana and swung it down at his poisoned arm.

"Pffft."

A cold glint flashed, and Ye Chen's arm fell to the ground.

"How... how is that possible?" Sirius stared dumbfounded, looking at Ye Chen in shock, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Ye Chen's severed arm regenerated at a visible speed, and in a short while, a completely new arm was fully regenerated.

"I forgot to tell you, even if my heart is shattered, it can regenerate at an extremely fast rate." Ye Chen waved his regenerated arm and smiled.

At this moment, Sirius's face was extremely gloomy. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to have such a heaven-defying ability; even with a severed hand, he could regenerate it, and at an extremely fast speed. This kind of physique was something even Kaido didn't possess.

The poison was useless, and knowing he couldn't escape, Sirius gritted his teeth and said to Ye Chen in a deep voice, "Don't get cocky too soon, you haven't won yet. Let me show you the true essence of Devil Fruit abilities."

With that, Sirius let out a roar: "Awakening."
