    Without warning, David appeared before  Stoned and instantly mmed his head against stoned skull.


    "Bang!"


    The reverberation resulting from the collision echoed through the air, resembling the thunderous impact of a mighty sledgehammer forcefully meeting a substantial brick wall. The resounding sh carried with it a symphony of power and resistance, an auditory testament to the immense force behind the collision. The weighty thud reverberated, reaching every corner of the surrounding space, leaving no doubt about the sheer magnitude of the impact. It was as if the collision itself had be a tangible presence, marking its territory with an unyielding deration of strength and unrelenting force.


    Stoned staggered as the shockwaves as well as the resultant force pushed him seven steps backwards. The pirate fell out of there dizzy spell after a  while and immediately held his nose, preventing himself from bleeding as his entire fave flushed red from anger, he screamed like a  pig in a slighter house.


    "Kill him! Kill him!!!"


    In that second, tens of pirates at the mid-gxy rank burst through the door, shooting toward David with fishing hooks that contained deadly amount of force within even if David was able too avoid the strikes  from the fishing hooks, he would never bee able to escape as there fishing hooks would have trapped him and tied him down.


    This pirates had even robbed  there treasures of a celestial and this was the main reason for  their sess, the Fish formation!


    David Immediately let out a brilliant smile as his muscles constricted and expanded. Like the quake of  waking dragon, his blood roared furiously within his body as rings and rings of visible grey shockwaves ovepped around his body.


    In an instant, David''s face erupted into a resplendent smile, illuminating the surroundings. Simultaneously, his muscles underwent a captivating vibration of constriction and expansion, disying the raw power dwelling within him. As though rousing a slumbering dragon from its deep slumber, a seismic tremor coursed through his veins, causing his blood to surge with an untamed ferocity. This intense rush unleashed a torrential symphony of pulsating life force, akin to the majestic roar of a dragon reborn.


    Enveloping his entire being, an awe-inspiring spectacle unfolded as concentric circles of palpable energy radiated outward. These ethereal rings, brimming with a mesmerizing shade of grey, emanated from David''s core and cascaded outward in a harmonious symphony of force. The ovepping shockwaves, like waves colliding in a tempestuous sea, fused together, intensifying their impact and entuating the sheer magnitude of his inner power.)


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!!" The shockwaves oscited violently, seemingly wanting to disintegrate everyone and everything within a hundred meeter radius.


    David immediately let out a loud bellow, his face dignified as he took an immediate step forwards.


    "BOOM!!!"


    The entire space ship groaned, releasing multiple jet streams of liquid fire anbusted gas as it tilted in ordance to David''s deadly step.


    Time seem to slow down. The iing pirates were locked in position, unable to react or they were simply top slow to react!


    David immediately transformed into a deadly beam. He streaked through the tens of pirates like a bullet, softly pping his palm against each of the pirate''s chest, making them deform inside.


    In the  blink of an eye, David had reached the other side of the room. The pirates could only see a blur sh past them and by the time  thy were able to react, numerous cracking sounds of bones breaking filled their ears as an intense pain erupted through their stratum.


    "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    Like the ovepping sounds of multiple drum beating, the pirates were sent flying backwards with spraying from their mouths like a partly covered tap.


    David''s muscles squirmed repeatedly as his veins bulged out from his entire skin.  Steam of energy and heat and sweat surged out from the top of his head like the sizzling sound of an egg in a frying pan. <novelsnext></novelsnext>


    His skin beet red but a smile hung at the corners of his face. The blood core as well as the strengthening technique was a  perfect match.


    With it, he could cross over  ranks and defeat those who were at least two rank above him and if he were to go all out, he might even match the might of a quasi-celestial being as he wasn''t currently in full health yet.


    Shaking the thought away from his head, David turned to face Stoned once more, walking closer to him.


    "You! D-don''te any closer!" He seem to have been terrified by David''s prowess ashe crawled backwards in fear.


    David ignored his shouts and asked. "Your crew, how many members do you have?"


    Visibly startled, Stoned furrowed his brows and then it suddenly dawned on him what David was  nning.


    He suddenly released a sneer. "You think that with your meager strength, you would  be able to takeover the Flying Whale Pirate? Dream on!"


    David raised an eye brow and chuckled. There was a blur and he immediately grabbed  Stoned''s neck,  lifting him up like a chicken and mmed his  face repeatedly heavily to the ground.


    Arge dent was formed and the slight noise of a crack sounded. It was  obvious if David repeated this process once more, he would absolutely crush Stoned''s skull into pieces.


    By the time Stoned came to , he was  bleeding everywhere from his head with cracks an cuts on his skin, bursted lips and broken nose.


    This time, David brought his face extremely close to his, a dangerous smile hung over his face like a maniac.


    "Now, I could easily gain the information I want from the other pirates. I''m sure there would be at least one  who would confess. But then, I could  go on torturing. If you don''t tell me everything I want to know, it is absolutely fine by me."


    "The longer you resist, the more enjoyable this is for me. So please, don''t give in yet man. Resist."


    "S-ss-"


    David leaned in closer as he couldn''t hear what the pirate was saying. Strangely, the fear in the pirate''s face vanished like a fog, reced with a mocking smile.


    "Ss-see yur e hellll."


    David frowned deeply, dropping the lifeless body of the Pirate as he tried to determine what the pirate meant by those words.


    "That''s cold."


    A voice suddenly spoke amidst the silence as  one of the pirates had struck before in the chest rose up.
