With a simultaneous shout of "Dominion Country," Ye Yu and Phantom swung their blades together. Two terrifying slashes erupted instantly, merging into an even more fearsome shockwave slash. This attack was immense in both power and range! Its brilliant light resembled a colossal lightning bolt tearing through the heavens, carrying devastating force as it surged toward the Giant.
The Giant's expression twisted in alarm as he sensed an unprecedented threat. The slash was too fast, too vast—there was no dodging it. Instantly, he abandoned all carelessness.
The Giant's arm muscles bulged like small hills, his calf muscles tensed, and his entire body's strength seemed drawn by an invisible force. Power surged from his legs upward, converging at his waist before flooding into his back, ultimately concentrating in his massive black fist.
With a furious roar, the Giant's colossal black fist smashed forward, colliding with Ye Yu and Phantom's Dominion Country.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion shook the earth, churning the surrounding air into violent turbulence.
The two terrifying forces clashed, locked in a brief stalemate. Behind the Giant, the sea erupted into towering waves, and the shoreline's water level abruptly dropped. The ocean was repelled by Dominion Country's overwhelming power, surging backward as if in retreat—proof that Ye Yu held the advantage in this clash.
With another thunderous crash, the brief deadlock ended—the Giant's punch was shattered.
His face paled in shock. He hadn't expected his full-power strike to be overwhelmed so quickly.
Before he could process it, he swiftly crossed his arms in defense, muscles taut as Armament Haki erupted across his body, bracing against Dominion Country's might.
"I can't be knocked into the sea—that would be too humiliating!"
The Giant believed his punch had weakened Dominion Country enough to avoid being thrown back or seriously injured.
But reality struck harder than he anticipated.
Upon impact, searing pain shot through his arms—his bones felt on the verge of shattering. His limbs were instantly lacerated, drenched in blood, and the overwhelming force surged through them, slamming into his chest.
"ARGH—!!"
Even after mitigating some of the attack's power, even with his full defense, the Giant couldn't suppress a scream. His towering hundred-meter frame was sent flying.
SPLAT!
SPLASH—!!
Blood gushed from his mouth mid-air, raining down like crimson droplets, staining the sky red.
The Giant soared backward—a full kilometer—before crashing into the sea. Water erupted upward, and blood rapidly spread, dyeing the surrounding ocean scarlet.
The world fell into stunned silence. Every witness was left speechless, eyes wide in disbelief. The sheer visual impact was overwhelming—such a colossal, mighty Giant, sent flying by Ye Yu and Phantom's combined Dominion Country.
Then—chaos erupted.
"My god! Am I seeing things?! That was terrifying!"
"Dominion Country—what a domineering technique! I never knew Ye Yu had something like this!"
"Is it because it's a combined attack?"
"It should be possible to perform solo, but clearly the combined technique is more powerful when executed by two people."
"I thought Ye Yu would join forces with Phantom to unleash a full-powered Divine Departure—a true dual Divine Departure. I never expected a new combined technique: Dominion Country. Such a domineering name, so incredibly strong."
...
The people in the safe zone were first stunned, then erupted into cheers.
"Ye Yu is amazing! There's hope! The Giant is heavily injured!"
"As expected of Ye Yu, always creating miracles and shocking the world."
At this moment, the happiest were the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, who cheered excitedly:
"The Captain is incredible!"
"This must be the Captain's trump card—so strong."
"Thankfully, Han Ling created the Phantom, allowing the Captain to execute the combined technique Dominion Country."
"Han Ling, you're awesome!"
...
Han Ling stood to the side, her face lit up with joy. She was thrilled to have been able to help Ye Yu in such a big way.
Sun Long sighed lightly. "The Captain must be the real Naming Fruit Ability User. This name is way more domineering than any of my move names."
Xia Ling felt slightly relieved, silently praying in her heart: "Keep going. This combined technique might just turn the tide."
Lin Muxue's expression darkened. Earlier, she had been gloating with schadenfreude, but now she had been thoroughly humiliated and couldn't even force a smile.
Li Cang was furious, gnashing his teeth. "Damn it, how can he be this strong? And that name is so domineering too."
It made him jealous—first Divine Departure, now Dominion Country.
The other slaves worried, "Could Ye Yu actually pass? If he does, he'll gain a lot of experience."
Lin Muxue shook her head firmly. "Impossible. Even if Dominion Country injured the Giant, he still can't pass. The best outcome is lasting until the three-hour mark. The worst is death. Either result is acceptable to me."
Li Cang agreed. "True. It only increases the chance of Ye Yu surviving the three hours, not of him passing."
...
After their initial shock, Jin Mo and the others similarly consoled themselves, secretly relieved that Han Ling hadn't joined Ye Yu's crew during their earlier battles. Otherwise, if Ye Yu had used this large-scale attack, Dominion Country, against their alliance of four pirate crews, it would have been disastrous.
At this moment, the Phantom beside Ye Yu slowly faded away. It could only attack once, leaving Ye Yu somewhat unsatisfied—he had wanted to team up with the Phantom to unleash more terrifying moves.
The people in the safe zone sighed:
"If only the Phantom could last a little longer."
"Yeah, then he might actually have a chance to clear this Mystic Realm."
...
Han Ling steeled her resolve, silently vowing: "I must work harder to develop the Phantom Fruit's abilities, so I can help Ye Yu even more in the future."
Splash!
Seawater sprayed as the Giant rose from the ocean, the water reaching up to his waist.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his right hand clutching his chest in a futile attempt to cover the massive wound—it was simply too large to hide.
Everyone could clearly see the horrifying gash stretching from his left chest to his right abdomen, blood pouring out incessantly.
This only deepened their shock. Dominion Country was so powerful—it had inflicted such severe injuries on the formidable Giant. This wasn't just a minor wound; it was at least a critical injury.
Ye Yu wasn't surprised. After all, the Dominion Country attack jointly unleashed by Dorry and Brogy in One Piece was already tremendously powerful. Having contracted seven formidable Non-Ability Users, his combat strength certainly surpassed Dorry and Brogy's. Moreover, when the two strongest versions of himself combined forces to execute Dominion Country, the result would naturally be even more terrifying.
Ye Yu felt some anticipation. When he reached level one hundred and joined forces with Phantom again to unleash Dominion Country, just how devastating would the impact be?
He stopped dwelling on it—that day was still far off.
Turning his gaze toward the Giants standing awkwardly in the sea, Ye Yu sneered mockingly, "Hah... You've drifted even farther from the city now."
