After identifying the direction, Ye Chen lightly kicked. With a rumble, a giant pit exploded in the ruins.
Ye Chen jumped down.
The treasure chest was buried in the ruins, which was not beyond Ye Chen's expectations.
After all, when he fought the Four Great Kings of the Underground before, he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, so the treasure chest that was originally placed in the room might indeed have been buried in the ruins.
After digging twice in the ruins, a completely buried treasure chest appeared in front of Ye Chen.
"This is it."
A hint of a smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips as he opened the treasure chest.
Inside the treasure chest, five Devil Fruits and a large sword with intersecting red and black colors lay quietly.
There was no need to say much about the use of the Devil Fruits; they would definitely be handed over to the exchange system. After the exchange system absorbed the five Devil Fruits, Ye Chen, "Two-Seven-Seven," focused his gaze on the pure black blade.
"This pure black blade, isn't it the incredibly strange Supreme Great Sharp Blade... the Ghost Spirit Blade?" Ye Chen rubbed his chin and pressed his hand on the pure black blade.
Ye Chen furrowed his brows, sensing a strange power, and his eyes revealed a huge look of surprise.
"This power..." Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then seemed to realize something.
"...According to what that guy Doflamingo said, this blade contains dead energy and ghost energy. Now it seems, it's truly not an exaggeration."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen asked, "System, can this Supreme Great Sharp Blade be used as a special exchange energy?"
"This Supreme Great Sharp Blade indeed contains special energy! It can be used." The system's voice sounded, and Ye Chen nodded understandingly.
"Do you want to extract and fuse the special energy within it?"
"Not yet!" Ye Chen shook his head. He found this Supreme Great Sharp Blade interesting, and since he wasn't lacking in special abilities right now, he decided to keep it for the time being.
Ye Chen held the Supreme Great Sharp Blade, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slashed forward. The Supreme Great Sharp Blade unleashed a brilliant sword energy in mid-air, which only began to weaken after cutting a hundred meters.
He let out a breath and put the black blade back into its scabbard.
"Before, that guy Scar said that my Extreme Ghost Swordsmanship's destructive power wasn't as high as imagined because I didn't have a good blade... Now that I have this Supreme Great Sharp Blade, the destructive power of my Extreme Ghost Swordsmanship will greatly increase, right?" Ye Chen's lips curved into a strange smile.
In fact, with the addition of this Ghost Spirit Blade, would it be a simple increase in destructive power?
This Ghost Spirit Blade contained a strange power. If one was cut by this Ghost Spirit Blade, the wound would be entangled with a curse, making it very difficult to heal.
Moreover, this blade was not only fierce towards enemies, but even its owner might be backlashed and cursed by the Ghost Spirit Blade if they wielded it.
Just like Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu,
It possessed the power of ghosts and gods, and those who used it with an unstable will would be affected, possibly even becoming slaves to the blade, turning into killing machines.
However, those who possessed Conqueror's Haki naturally had strong wills, let alone Ye Chen, who from the very beginning was not afraid of anyone, let alone some cruel ghost and god powers.
When Ye Chen left the ruins, Hashirama, Ulquiorra, and the Winged Dragon of Ra were quietly waiting outside the ruins for Ye Chen's command.
Ye Chen had summoned these people before, using his Dimensional Transfer ability.
The Dimensional Transfer ability was incredibly mystical and powerful. Even from a thousand miles away, Ye Chen could instantly transfer these people to his side if he wished.
"My Lord, the enemies have been eliminated. Should we return to our original locations and continue our mission?" Ulquiorra stepped forward, lowered his head, and said to Ye Chen in a deep voice.
Ulquiorra and the others all had their own missions. If it weren't for Ye Chen summoning them, they would never have abandoned their original missions to come here.
"No, before you return to your original missions, there's one more thing to do!"
Ye Chen shook his head, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes.
"What else?" Hashirama's eyes showed confusion.
"You said all enemies were eliminated before, but... that statement is wrong. There's still one enemy who hasn't been eliminated!"
What enemy?
Ulquiorra was about to speak but stopped.
He recalled the previous scene, and his eyes revealed a look of understanding...
"So that's it... Big Mom Charlotte Linlin?"
Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, the captain of the Big Mom Pirates.
Ye Chen originally didn't plan to seek trouble with the Four Emperors, but since Charlotte Linlin had participated in this incident, he couldn't blame her.
However, it was a pity that the annual tribute items were gone.
"It's time to... gather the Emperor Descend Pirates!"
Ye Chen used his Dimensional Transfer ability again.
The light in front of him flickered. In the endless glow, a silver-haired figure gradually materialized from illusion to reality, solidifying into form in a short while.
"Lord Ye Chen, what do you need me for? If there's no battle, I'm afraid I'll have a little complaint!"
Esdeath looked at Ye Chen, a strange smile on her lips. Although she said that, Esdeath was clearly joking.
"Don't worry, there will be a battle! And it will be a battle that will absolutely satisfy you," Ye Chen said meaningfully.
"What kind of battle?!" Esdeath was a little surprised.
"Forcibly attacking the Big Mom Pirates, and forcibly landing on Whole Cake Island, the Big Mom Pirates' headquarters."
Although even with only four people, they had enough confidence, for the sake of caution, Ye Chen still gathered all the members of the Emperor Descend Pirate Crew. Only 5.9 Kyogre had not been summoned.
However, although Kyogre's strength was immense, it was currently guarding Shirahoshi and couldn't leave, so he could only bring this many people. However, even just leading this many people was already enough.
Ye Chen thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and contacted Doflamingo with his mind.
"Lord Ye Chen, what can I do for you?" Doflamingo asked.
Doflamingo knew that Ye Chen coming to him was definitely not for small talk.
Even if he wanted to chat, he would have to wait until Ye Chen finished what he had to say.
"Doflamingo, issue a public announcement in the name of the Emperor Descend Pirate Crew " Ye Chen paused for a moment, speaking in an extremely serious and stern tone.
"From today onwards, the Emperor Descend Pirates officially declare war on the Big Mom Pirates."
