"Ninja from on high, why are you bothering us lowly pirates?" Yamazaki cautiously probed Orochimaru, holding a heavy sword nearly a meter long defensively in front of him.
"Bothering you?"
Orochimaru chuckled and pointed at Baishi: "I'm here to help you. Baishi has already gained immense power. Can't you see it?"
"Stop bragging, you damn brat!"
A giant spiked club swung fiercely towards Orochimaru.
However, Orochimaru made no move, neither dodging nor counter-attacking.
"I got him! What kind of ninja is he? Just a kid!" The pirate who ambushed him widened his eyes in excitement!
With a "bang"...
A sturdy arm appeared in front of the spiked club, steadily catching the powerful blow.
"Baishi!?"
The pirates widened their eyes in surprise: "This guy was clearly the weakest among the pirates, often mocked for his strength!"
But now, he had caught the second-in-command's spiked club with his bare hands!
Seeing that a fight had broken out, the other pirates rushed forward, attempting to kill Baishi. But Baishi simply disarmed the spiked club and with a gentle swing, sent all the surrounding pirates flying. The pirates were stunned. In just five minutes, Baishi, who was once the weakest, could now fight ten opponents. This was a significant shock to them!
Could it be that everything was as that child said?
For a moment, unrest spread among the crew...
"What did you do to Baishi?"
Yamazaki shouted angrily: "Gaining such immense power rashly must have side effects!"
With a reprimand, he jolted the pirates awake!
"That's right, it must be a secret technique that consumes lifespan!"
"I've seen it elsewhere. After a burst of power, they die soon after."
It must be said that Yamazaki had some skill. At a time when morale was wavering, his words stabilized the crew!
"However... it's a pity!" Orochimaru sneered dismissively: "Don't confuse the ninjutsu Lord Aoi gave me with those low-class techniques!"
The power of the curse seal comes from Ryūchi Cave, one of the three great sage lands. Natural energy is the purest chakra energy, with no side effects on the body!
"Words are useless. Baishi, defeat them for me." These pirates won't shed tears until they see their coffins!
With Orochimaru's command, Baishi did not hesitate. Like a tiger descending a mountain, he knocked out more than ten pirate lackeys in a few moves.
"Go, my little darlings!" Orochimaru spread his arms, and more than ten white snakes emerged from his sleeves, biting the pirates' ankles.
"Damn it, what did you do to them!?" Yamazaki's eyes widened. These subordinates were his life's savings. If they all died, the Giant Strength Pirate Group would have no reason to exist.
"Don't worry, these guys probably won't all die!" Orochimaru sneered and retracted the ten curse-seal snakes back into Ryūchi Cave.
"Won't all die?"
"Ah!!!"
At this moment, a pirate's waist bent unnaturally, and dense curse seals covered his entire body. The intense pain caused him to lose consciousness due to convulsions.
Crimson blood slowly seeped from all parts of his body, dyeing him into a blood-soaked figure. After another violent convulsion, he completely lost his life.
"Taima!"
Yamazaki roared in grief.
"Oh? This person's name is Taima? What a shame." Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the air, as if he could taste death.
"He couldn't overcome this trial!"
