NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25: Chapter 25 The Hunting Ground
The first half of the Grand Line is on the endless sea.
Lucifer stood on the bow of a pirate ship, looking at an island in the distance, and smiled.
"Finally reached."
The small island ahead is Crescent Island, which is also Lucifer's goal this time.
"There are so many people here; now there are some to play with."
Lucifer glanced at the surrounding sea, which was full of pirate ships. More pirate groups were arriving in the rear sea area.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by a burst of artillery bombardment, a pirate ship was bombed and sunk, destroying the vessel and killing everyone aboard.
The victor stood on his ship, laughing arrogantly, the laughter echoing harshly.
Before landing on the island, the cannibalism among the pirates had already begun.
There were long-range artillery bombardments and close-quarter battles, and the fighting methods varied.
A pirate group that was not strong enough couldn't even land on Crescent Island.
"Hey, kid, are you the only one on this boat?"
Suddenly, a burst of ridicule sounded from behind, followed by another pirate ship.
The pirate ship was twice the size of Lucifer's, filled with vicious pirates numbering in the hundreds.
"Is this really bad? There's only one brat!"
"Quack, quack, quack! Are all his companions dead?"
"How pitiful."
"Hey, Sally, why don't you give him a ride? Let him meet his companions."
"Hahahaha, that's a good idea!"
"No, this little brother is quite handsome; it's a pity to let him die."
"Hey, hey, Bana, are you a nympho again?"
A group of pirates stood on the deck, staring at Lucifer as if he were prey.
The male pirates looked fierce, but a few female pirates eyed Lucifer with interest.
If the female pirates were beautiful, Lucifer wouldn't mind showing mercy and having a romantic encounter.
But it was a pity that these female pirates were all unattractive, with bucket waists and fat all over their bodies.
Lucifer took a look and almost vomited his last meal.
"Hey, kid, if you kneel down and beg for mercy, maybe we can spare your life."
"Come on, beg for mercy."
"Hahaha!"
The pirate ship got closer, and the laughter grew louder.
"It's really noisy."
Lucifer maintained a stoic expression and raised his hand lightly. "Flash Rays!"
A laser shot out from Lucifer's fingertips, instantly piercing through the pirate ship behind him.
With a loud bang, the entire pirate ship exploded into a massive fireball.
Hundreds of pirates were engulfed in flames before they could even scream, leaving no bones behind!
"Ding! Host killed the pirate Bartley and received 6,500 killing points."
"Ding! Host killed the pirate Bana and received 2,500 killing points."
"Ding! Host killed the pirate Sally and received 1,700 killing points."
"Ding! Host killed the pirates and received 400 killing points."
"..."
A series of system prompts echoed, providing Lucifer with 16,000 killing points.
Adding to what he originally had, Lucifer's total killing points reached 80,000.
"A group of miscellaneous fish; it's too sad."
Lucifer shook his head and sped up the pirate ship towards Crescent Island.
The battle that unfolded here was clearly observed by the surrounding pirate groups.
"Hey, hey, what kind of ability was that just now? Isn't it too terrifying?"
"With just one blow, the Bartley Pirates were completely annihilated!"
"This ability feels familiar; I think I've heard of it somewhere."
"Flash Ray, isn't this Admiral Kizaru's ability?"
Some pirates thought of Kizaru and suddenly felt panic.
"Could it be that a Marine Admiral is here?"
"Impossible! That person is just a young kid; he's not Kizaru at all, and there's no sign of the Marines in the surrounding sea!"
"I remember now; he's Lucifer, the newcomer who's been in the limelight lately!"
A pirate suddenly shouted.
"I heard his ability is the same as Marine Admiral Kizaru's. He's extremely powerful, at the level of a monster!"
More and more pirates recognized Lucifer's identity, recalling his bounty notice.
The Devil Lucifer, with a bounty of 230 million Baileys, had committed heinous crimes without regard for life or death.
The person in the photos looked exactly like the one they had seen.
"I encountered this kind of monster after coming here. It seems it will be very difficult to compete for Captain John's treasure this time."
A pirate captain shook his head and sighed.
"No matter what kind of monster he is, as long as he dares to rob me of treasure, I will kill him!"
A pirate captain declared fiercely.
"The treasure must belong to me!"
Although afraid of Lucifer's strength, none of the pirates dared to escape.
As they thought of the massive treasure left by Captain John, these pirates felt nothing but determination.
Money touches people's hearts, and these pirates had been blinded by the treasure.
For money, they would do anything!
...
Soon, Lucifer's ship arrived at the port.
After disembarking, Lucifer headed straight to the small town in the center of Crescent Island.
His Observation Haki spread out, covering almost the entire town.
Lucifer sensed some malicious eyes secretly watching him.
Their auras were all locked onto Lucifer one by one.
"Not bad; it's comparable to a Marine Rear Admiral."
"That's decent too."
"There are so many prey; this truly is the best hunting ground."
Lucifer stood atop the roof of a tall building, looking down at the town below with an evil smile on his lips.
