Novel Full Chapter 264: How Much?!
Chapter 264: Chapter 264: How Much?!
As Vir’s voice rang out,
Jina’s pupils shrank to the size of needle tips.
She could feel it—a force powerful enough to obliterate her completely!
Impossible!
This guy in front of her!
How could he possess such power?!
It’s fake! He’s gotta be bluffing!
No way this was real!
Yet no matter how much she denied it, reality would not change!
Her eyes still burned with defiance, ferocity, and unwillingness!
Her massive sword continued its full-force downward slash with all her might.
But when the terrifying, overwhelming, world-shattering surge of lightning erupted from Vir’s mouth and surged toward her, Jina finally understood.
This power… was real!
Enough to kill her!
This man… truly intended to kill her!!
Jina trembled—her entire body shook violently!
The terror of death enveloped her completely!
All color drained from her eyes, replaced only by sheer panic!
The fear of death!
At this moment, the dread of dying and the desperate desire to survive seized Jina’s mind entirely!
She no longer cared about anything else.
Abandoning her sword mid-swing—unable to retract it in time—she threw herself to the right with every ounce of strength she had!
This desperate roll was her last hope for survival.
The overwhelming, suffocating pressure of Vir’s attack was already on the verge of shattering her mental defenses!
She was on the brink of tears!
Though Vir had slowed his attack speed several times over, there was no way Jina could fully evade it!
This was a technique Vir had already charged with lightning in his mouth, amplified threefold in power. The sheer range alone made escape impossible!
The thick, violent purple lightning resembled a beast finally breaking free from its cage, hungrily surging forth to tear everything before it to shreds!
The moment it erupted, the space in front of Vir twisted violently under its force.
The lightning pierced through Jina’s body in an instant—giving her no chance to react.
A dazzling purple streak tore across the sky!!
Leaving a searing mark upon the vast blue heavens.
Vir had not intended to kill Jina.
This attack had only struck her right shoulder.
Jina felt no pain.
Because her arm had been completely vaporized.
No process, no lingering sensation.
Gone in an instant.
Even though she had desperately hardened her entire right arm with Armament Haki and reinforced every cell in her body for defense…
The result remained unchanged.
It simply vanished.
Not even a trace remained.
The edges of her vaporized arm even showed signs of petrification.
Unless Vir undid this effect, her arm would never regenerate.
*RUMBLE—!!!*
Only now did the deafening roar of thunder finally erupt.
Jina, closest to the blast, stood frozen in shock—before a sharp pain exploded in her right ear.
Then… nothing.
Her eardrum had been ruptured by the sheer force of the sound.
A trickle of blood seeped from her ear.
*Thud!*
*CLANG—!*
Jina collapsed to the ground, her massive sword falling beside her.
And with that single strike from Vir, the battle was decisively over.
On the spectator stands, everyone was left dumbstruck, their faces blank with shock.
The sheer visual impact of what they had just witnessed was too overwhelming.
Their minds reeled, their emotions in turmoil!
Just like that… she lost?
Jina clearly had considerable strength!
Yet Vir had defeated her in a single move?!
And just as he had said—without moving his hands or feet.
He had taken her down with nothing but his mouth?!
Wasn’t that a bit over the top?!
And that lightning blast—fired from his mouth—was so fast, so devastating!
The aftershocks alone were strong enough to make them feel the vibrations from where they stood.
Not the ground shaking.
But space itself trembling!
This guy… had even affected the surrounding space with that attack?!
Just how absurdly strong was he?!
How could someone casually unleash such a devastating strike without even a hint of warning?
Before he opened his mouth, there hadn’t been the slightest trace of his power.
“This guy… feels like he’s gotten even stronger…”
Yamato muttered in disbelief, her face a picture of astonishment.
Her scalp tingled with shock.
When Vir had fought her before, he definitely hadn’t been this powerful.
“If that blast had hit me in the face, my head would’ve been gone…”
“Not exactly the kind of surprise you want mid-fight.”
Rayleigh, too, recognized the extraordinary nature of Vir’s attack.
He could tell Vir had held back.
The attack had clearly been restrained.
Yet even so, the speed of execution was frighteningly fast—almost instantaneous.
The kind of technique that could be used for a sudden ambush or to break an opponent’s stance in battle.
Meanwhile, Shiki’s expression was complicated.
This brat had promised to go easy, yet in one move, he’d taken his daughter’s arm clean off.
He didn’t even know what to say.
If Vir had no connection to him, Shiki would’ve already had his blade at the boy’s throat by now.
But they weren’t strangers.
He couldn’t just act recklessly.
And technically, Vir had kept his word—no hands, no feet.
Could he really say Vir hadn’t held back?
With a sigh, Shiki could only blame himself for his daughter’s lack of training.
Though he wouldn’t hold Vir accountable for injuring Jina…
He would make sure the brat fixed what he’d broken.
Not by healing her himself, of course.
But by coughing up some miracle medicine.
This brat definitely had something good stashed away.
With that thought, Shiki—who had already risen to his feet—sat back down with a grumble.
“This young man… is absolutely, absolutely not ordinary. To possess such strength at his age…”
Elder Nyon was so shocked that even her seasoned self was stumbling over her words.
Vir’s display had left her shaken.
Beside her, Hancock was beaming with joy!
Yes~! Vir won!
Her mind was already spinning with fantasies.
Just then—
A Kuja Pirate officer rushed over in a panic, clutching a bounty poster.
“Empress! Vir’s new bounty has arrived!”
The moment she heard this, Hancock—who had been indifferent—instantly snatched the poster!
But when she saw the number on it, her delicate face froze.
Then, her hand flew to cover her slightly parted lips.
“Hmph. What’s with that reaction? Where’s the composure of a Pirate Empress?”
Elder Nyon leaned over curiously.
But the moment her eyes landed on the figure—
“W-W-WH—?! T-T-T… 1,9 BILLION?!!”
Elder Nyon looked like she’d been struck by lightning, her tiny eyes nearly burning a hole through the poster.
Even for someone who had seen countless storms…
She had never expected this unassuming—no, rather striking—young man to have such an astronomical bounty from the Marines!
This was nearly on par with the Yonko themselves!
Hearing Elder Nyon’s shriek, the others turned to look.
“What’s the big deal? Scared by a bounty poster?”
Marco scoffed as he walked over.
Three seconds later—
“H-H-H… HOW MUCH?!”
