In an instant, James's thin body surged with an unconcealable aura. He was extremely angry, and his rationality had collapsed. The lion Leakey seemed to have sensed something and retreated.

However, it was all in vain! Almost in an instant, a large number of bugs appeared on the lawn. The shells of these bugs were all pink in color and looked exceptionally beautiful. They were like an armored army, swarming towards Leakey.

The huge male lion wanted to stomp on these insects, but the number of pink insects was too large. After he stomped on a batch, more insects climbed up his ankles. A thousand, ten thousand…These pink beetles seemed to have no end, crawling out of the grass and onto Ricky's body. It was hard to imagine how the short lawn could hide so many bugs!

Mochi felt his scalp go numb. He saw that Ricky was covered in pink beetles. These beetles were like a pink armor, blocking Ricky's eyes, mouth, ears, and every part of his body. Mocky tried to call for Ricky, but Ricky had lost his mind. He scratched his body with his claws, trying to get these damn bugs off. However, these bugs were like maggots that stuck to his bones, sticking tightly to his flesh. The more he scratched, the deeper the bugs got, and they continued to devour his body. In the end, it actually swallowed all of Leakey's outer skin.

Ma Qi could no longer bear the pressure in his heart. He looked at James, who was like a demon, and stumbled backward. The Baki Pirates behind him were also scared out of their wits by this scene and jumped into the sea to escape.

In an instant, the lion couldn't bear the immense pain and fell to the ground.

Mochi's tears flowed down his face. He knew that the next target of those bugs was him. Therefore, he gave up his dignity and shouted,"No, don't kill me, I beg you…don't kill me!”

James 'body suddenly froze. The word " kill " had deeply touched his heart.

He repeated the word, and his eyes gradually became clear. His stiff body gradually relaxed. "Did I kill someone?" He muttered to himself and looked up. The pink beetles on the lion's corpse gradually faded away. At this time, Leakey's corpse was already a bloody mess. The tissues and blood inside flowed out and contaminated a large area of the lawn. Leakey's death was tragic.

His eyes were filled with anger…

James covered his mouth tightly with both hands, and his body could not help but convulse. His stomach was sour, and he actually retched when he saw this cruel scene. James had always known that their captain, Sauron, had no qualms about killing people. He could toss the heads of the dead high up in the air, or splash their blood all over his body. Sometimes, James had seen Li Yu kill people because he couldn't avoid them in time. But he had never felt so disgusted before!

Although Li Yu killed without batting an eye, he was very efficient in killing people. The incision was neat, so it didn't look too bad. However, the lion's death was beyond description. Its eyeballs had fallen off because it was not covered by the flesh of its eyes. Its mouth had turned into a pile of rotten meat. The holes on its body were large and small, and it was a bloody mess. Without exception, all kinds of red, yellow, and green pus flowed out.

It turned out that he was even worse than Sauron. He kept saying,"There will always be retribution for hurting people!"”However, in the next moment, he had already used such a cruel method to kill a lion and a person. James felt like his guts were about to split apart. He felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a large mouthful of blood…

Mochi was still scared. He wanted to run, but his legs were weak. Those pink bugs were about to climb onto his body. "No! I beg you!" he screamed hysterically. Don't kill me!" It was this shout that woke James up from his nightmare.

James 'face turned from pale to light red, and finally returned to its original flesh-colored color. After a great battle, he finally said,""Go away ~ Go as far as you can!”As soon as he said that, the pink bugs that were near Mochi's feet gradually retreated and hid in the grass.

Mochi had just walked through the gates of hell and was drenched in cold sweat. Now that he had James 'permission, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He supported his weak body and ran away.

In the end, only James, Ricky, and Kabaki's corpses were left on the deck. His body went limp and he fell to the ground dejectedly, looking at the sky with a conflicted expression. It was this battle that caused James 'state of mind to change.

A gust of wind blew in his face as Arrita's big stick came smashing towards his head. Corby was not in a hurry. He calmly set up a thick glass to block the attack of the spiked club and jumped away.

The two of them had already fought for hundreds of rounds, but there was still no winner. Arita's attacks were always blocked by Corby, but Corby was also unable to do so because of the slippery fruit. This kind of entanglement made Kirby very anxious. He believed that the captain must have ended the battle. Although James was a person with an awkward personality and hated violence, he believed that James 'explosive power would definitely be one-on-one if he was forced into a corner!

Then he was the only one left!

Kirby was anxious, and his hands stopped moving. Arita suddenly let out a loud cry, and the huge iron rod smashed down on Kirby's head. Kirby couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying.

"Puff!" He stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood. Kirby glared at Arita who was walking towards him.

"Why don't you run away?" she said mockingly. Run! Why aren't you running anymore?" Kirby's expression was calm as he watched Arita approach. Surprisingly, he did not feel the slightest fear.

He was just a little unwilling. He couldn't even defeat Arita, who had a bounty of 50,000,000 yuan. What about the " Great Sea Route " where experts were everywhere? Wouldn't he be treated like a meat bag?!

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of unwillingness. He used all his strength to condense a glass ball the size of a water tank.

Kirby staggered to his feet, only to be met with Arita's disdainful ridicule.""Very impressive, my little Bobby! He still had this strength even at the brink of death! Do you think I'll be afraid of you just because you've become bigger? Hahahaha…laugh…ah!" As if it was God's will, Arita suddenly felt an intense heat in her eyes. This was a dazzling light that made her unable to help but close her eyes.

Kirby was shocked. He didn't expect this to happen so suddenly. Looking at the light spots in Arita's eyes, then at the glass ball in his hand and the sun in the sky, he seemed to have thought of something. He slapped his forehead and blamed himself."Aiya, how could I be so stupid? I actually forgot about it!”

Arita took a few steps back, and the burning sensation in her eyes gradually disappeared. She glared at Kirby and said coldly,""Little bastard! Looks like I underestimated you just now!……I can't let you live now!" After he finished speaking, he waved his huge iron cudgel and stood up straight. The huge iron cudgel created a strong wind that swept toward Ke Bi with a destructive force.

Kirby was confident now and was no longer afraid of her. With the help of the conversation, he recovered a little of his strength. He quickly jumped away and controlled the glass ball in his hand to fly into the sky. The huge ball of light condensed sunlight and projected on Arita's head.

Arita didn't know what Kirby's intention was. She was about to hit him again when she suddenly smelled a burnt smell. The back of her head felt hot. She reached out and touched it, but she let out a miserable cry. It was clearly rolling flames!

The sudden incident made Arrita panic. She grabbed her hat and slapped her head desperately. Unfortunately, her head was long and thick, hanging all the way to her waist. At this moment, with the traction of her head, the fire did not decrease but increased, burning her clothes.

The corners of Kirby's mouth curled up slightly. He felt extremely happy as he watched this woman who bullied him in the past get what she deserved! "I will never be afraid again. I will never be weak again.”Kerby muttered to himself.

Arita's entire body was covered in flames. In the end, because of the pain, she rushed over the fence and jumped into the sea. She seemed to have forgotten that she was a fruit ability user!

Kirby finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Hearing the " thud " from the bottom of the boat, he laughed wildly.

"Damn fat woman, farewell! Hahaha…Wuuu." The shock to his soul was too great. Kirby laughed until he cried. He was no longer the same as before. He had become a true warrior. In the future, he could truly soar on the sea. All the evil people would be terrified when they heard his name.

At this moment, a hint of maturity appeared on Kirby's face.

*****************

This was the first real battle in the history of the Ghost Pirates. Except for Li Yu, the other two people had gained some mental gains. Kirby overcame his cowardice and became a real man.

As for James, he was currently picking up the pieces of Leakey's body that had already split apart. He ignored the blood and pus on his hands and threw them into the sea.

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat. He walked to Li Ji's body and started cleaning up. James glanced at him and continued to work without saying anything.

Seeing that he was ignoring him, Li Yu laughed dryly and said,""Hey, weren't you fine just now? After a fight, look at how awesome you are. Even the captain was left hanging by you!”Li Yu's words were filled with ridicule. He originally wanted to make James happy, but he didn't expect him to only lightly say,"I have nothing to say to you." Crack! Li Yu's dignity was broken.

He was filled with hatred! He thought, What kind of crew are these? It's all because I spoil them too much!!!”Although he thought so in his heart, he still smiled apologetically."We are brothers! Your business is my business. Now that you've killed someone and you're upset, shouldn't I persuade you?!”

James sighed. Recalling the scene just now, his body actually trembled a little. He said sorrowfully,"You're not me. We have different views on life. You can kill without blinking. It'll be over after a nap. But if I kill people, their blood will flow into my conscience and torture me every day. If I kill them, I'll feel uneasy for the rest of my life!!!”After he finished speaking, he slowly lowered his head, tears dripping onto the ground.

Suddenly, Li Yu sneered and said in a serious tone,""I'm the fish on the chopping block. In order not to be 'fish meat,' we can only be 'knife'! If you don't kill them now, they will kill you sooner or later!”

Seeing James raise his head in shock, Li Yu continued,""In this world, not a single person will die because of your kindness, nor will humanity go extinct because of your ruthlessness. There were no absolutely good people in this world. Everyone lived for themselves. The law of the jungle was the truth of life! Think about it, how many riots, how many hardships, how many killings have they experienced in history? Weren't they still living well? I can tell you that survival is the greatest hope!”

James 'expression turned from calm to shock, and from shock to contemplation. He repeated to himself,""Only survival is the greatest hope?”

Li Yu gently patted James 'shoulder. In an instant, he returned to his previous frivolous self. His previous maturity and seriousness were all gone. He teased,"Hey, bro. You're too practical! Who said you must kill? You could beat them half to death or torture them. That way, even if they didn't die, you would be able to vent your anger. Why not? Haha! Good idea ~~~ Hurry up and thank me!”

After a while, James suddenly raised his head. The tears on her face had been wiped away. She looked at Li Yu, who was smiling mischievously, and suddenly said seriously,""Thank you, Captain!" His eyes were no longer filled with conflict and gloom. Instead, they were filled with ease, clarity, and comprehension.

Li Yu looked at the reborn James in front of him and felt extremely happy.

"You're welcome!" he said.
