Chapter 18

His Observation Haki had already sensed it. This ordinary pirate, after drinking the Evil Energy Blood, had his strength increased at least 1~2 times.

If he could also receive such a boost, it's unimaginable—if Kaido's strength were increased by one or two times, no one in this world would be his match. Even that bastard Baihuzi would be easily defeated by him.

At this moment, seeing the newcomer's combat power increase, all members of the Beast Pirates became excited.

And that newcomer pirate who was the first to drink the Devil's Blood was now extremely arrogant, actually giving a fierce look toward the Beast Pirates' Three Top Commanders.

"Kaido boss, I want to test my current power." The first Beast Pirates member to drink the Evil Energy Blood shouted.

As soon as he said that, everyone present was instantly shocked—"Hey hey hey, kid, did you get it wrong?" Did you not see the situation clearly, or did you suddenly swell up and actually want to challenge the Three Top Commanders? Although this guy's aura became extremely violent and his strength indeed greatly increased, but to say you want to challenge the Three Top Commanders is really overestimating yourself! "Are you brain‑fried?"

"There's no helping it—this is the side effect of a sudden huge increase in power, making one feel they can beat anyone. Though I'm also very curious about this newcomer." Heise Maria covered half her face with her fan and said with a smiling gaze.

"Jieke, go test his strength—remember, just don't kill him." Kaido said.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to see just how much strength would increase after receiving this Evil Energy Blood baptism. Hanzai Jieke heard that, nodded his head—since it was the boss's order, he naturally couldn't stay idle, so he came down to the arena and beckoned to the Beast Pirates member who had just drunk the Evil Energy Blood.

"Bring it on!"

"Hahaha! This time I'll take down one of the Three Top Commanders and become the pirates' new top commander." The Beast Pirates member who had taken the Evil Energy Blood let out a manic laugh, his muscles bulged further, then he exploded forward with a powerful step, instantly charging at Hanzai Jieke and throwing a punch.

Hanzai Jieke merely snorted coldly, stood in place, didn't even use Armament Haki, clenched his fist, and threw a punch back.

With a bang, a small shockwave appeared. Jieke, standing in place, stepped back three steps, and a trickle of blood flowed from his fist.

Hanzai Jieke looked at his own bleeding fist, clearly incredulous—an ordinary lackey, after drinking this stuff, actually, actually managed to wound himself!

Meanwhile, the Beast Pirates member who had finished drinking the Evil Energy Blood was flung backward seven or eight meters, then did a backflip and landed on the ground.

At this moment, everyone could see on his fist—a green bone spur had grown, blood dripping from it. It was obvious that the reason he could wound Hanzai Jieke, aside from the opponent not using Armament Haki, was also due to this bone spur.

However, this battle also calmed the pirate down—he realized he wasn't a match for a top commander. Although his strength had increased greatly, it still wasn't enough to challenge a top commander, but he should be able to spar with an ordinary strong fighter.

"Hmph! This time I'll get serious." Hanzai Jieke snorted coldly. Armament Haki covered his fists, turning them pitch black.

Obviously, the injury just now put Jieke in a terrible mood, so he directly activated Armament Haki and got serious.

"Wait wait wait, Jieke boss, I—I'm not your opponent, I surrender." The lackey who had drunk the Evil Energy Blood turned pale with shock.

But Hanzai Jieke had no intention of stopping, and Baishou Kaido hadn't spoken either, so everyone just watched the spectacle.

Helpless, he could only grit his teeth, let out a roar, then charged toward Hanzai Jieke, a burst of green light exploding from his body.

With a boom—

This time Hanzai Jieke didn't retreat a step, kept his punching stance, his fist shrouded in darkness, and took no hit—whereas that certain pirate wasn't so lucky; his whole body was punched flying up, soaring ten or so meters high, spinning 360° in midair, and slammed to the ground with a thud.

The smoke cleared, and the pirate who had just taken the Evil Energy Blood lay spread-eagled in the deep pit.

"Ugh! Thanks a lot, Jieke boss, for going easy on me." The Beast Pirates lackey who had drunk the Evil Energy Blood staggered to his feet and said to Hanzai Jieke.

At this very moment, he could feel that all the bones in his body were broken, yet he was still alive, which was already a miracle.

"His vitality is pretty tenacious; he took Jack's full-power punch and wasn't killed on the spot—this kid's physique has improved a lot." Yanzai Jin said.

Just now, Jack certainly didn't hold back; a fist coated in armament Haki isn't easy to take, yet the opponent didn't die, which is enough to show the power of this demonic blood.

"You kid, your luck's not bad—you didn't die. Alright, go lie down! Go to the ship's doctor and treat your wounds." Beasts Kaido laughed loudly.

The enhancement of this demonic blood made him even more interested; he could now be certain that this pirate's combat power had increased twofold, but his physical fitness had risen roughly three to four times, otherwise.

To block Jack's armament Haki punch head‑on, it's absolutely impossible to survive.

Upon hearing that, the little lackey felt as if pardoned, immediately staggered away from the scene to find a doctor and treat himself.

Watching the little lackey still able to walk away on his own, all the senior members of the Beasts Pirates couldn't help but marvel at this guy's tenacious vitality.

Or rather, this vitality is entirely provided by this demonic blood.

The struggling large-sized beautiful Yamato was quickly shackled with seastone chains, instantly rendering him powerless, and then brought before Luode.

Kaido also thoughtfully arranged a separate room for the two of them.

"Come on! Yamato, take off your clothes now."

"You bastard, you, you, stop it!"

"Damn it, don't be so shy—it's easy to get misunderstood! I'm just drawing a slave demon's magic circle on your body."

Soon, a crimson six‑pointed star slave‑demon sigil was etched onto Yamato's chest, and Luode had a bit of nosebleed.

The large‑sized beauty is truly huge—she's really fair and tender! The feel is shocking.

Afterward, Luode brought Yamato out, took out his specially prepared wooden barrel of demonic blood, and then poured all of the abyssal lord's blood into it.

"Drink up! Yamato, this is your destiny!"

The destiny of all of you.
