The pirate looks gravely at the old man who is standing two meters away from but he feels the menacing aura in the air that makes it hard for him to even think straight as his instinct keeps telling him to run far.

He is trembling because of the impact of the punch earlier in his brain, he stumbled to the side as he felt dizzy and he thought because of the heavy punch.

But the reason for it is the poison is starting to act and is scattering throughout his body.

The poison that Mother Riz concocted with the help and full of improvement from her past predecessor proved lethal and once the target got the poison even a little whip on it would be fatal as the time went on.

Trying to stabilize his body a searing pain was felt in his side as his body curl in impact and flew to the side 'Sh*t!' He can only curse in his mind as he felt that he would again collide in a tree but his assumption fails.

A whipping sound was produced as he felt his mind would go blank because a heavy foot firmly planted in his face midair and smashed him to the ground, the impact of the force made a circular crack in the vicinity.

"Hey!? still alive?" a blackened face of Old Geez was the only blur vision the pirate can only see as he slightly feel the same assault that buried his head in the ground "Gruuagh" a weak groan unconsciously grimaced because of pain.

"Good to hear that." Old Geez stone cold face said, his deep flesh wounds in his shoulder to the chest were tightly closed as a steam of white air kept oozing out in his body like steam enveloping him.

Old Geez abandoned everything and fully utilized his body by absorbing nutrients all over his body and displaying this kind of power.

By using Life return with his current injury would never produce this kind of power but he utilized his short life to extend it, in the past Old Geez would not be able to used Life Return to this extent but his fury and anger break the limits and he was burning his life just to avenge little Jas.

He lifted his foot over his head and forcefully brought it down giving all of his might to this attack and a red fire burst in his foot as the friction in the air ignited it.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

The flaming foot of Old Geez fall toward the pride of the grimacing pirate who sees a scene like a punishing blow from above sending a meteor to wipe out the sinful thing "Noooo!"

But the shout didn't affect the result as a five meter circle deep was crushed in the impact as the rumble scattered around as the ground quake in a collision.

A dim light still shines in the eyes of the pirate but he knows that he would die in a second but he still looks at the perpetrator of his death as want to etch it in his soul but the dust didn't let his last wish be fulfilled and his life was extinguished.

The dust completely subsided and a skinny old man was seen standing on one foot as his other foot was missing and only left a bone and flesh sticking out in the knee.

Like the pirate, Old Geez's eyes were luck luster but his body kept its position like a stone sculpted in that position and you will find out that in his body you would not find even an ounce of blood. Showing the consequences of using the ultimate form of Life Return

Matt tried to stand up but it was futile as he just looked at the lifeless body of Old Geez and could only silently mourn in silence.

"To think that there is someone who can use three styles out of the six styles of marines here in this backwater island." a fleeting shadow emerge in the side of a tree "Lucky me to seen a final form of Life Return even I would not be able to leave unscathed with that kind of power"

Captain Jiggs mumbled to himself as he looked at the body of Old Geez and admired it a little as he flick a little stone in his hand and like a bullet that fired in a gun is shot straight to the center of the forehead of Matt.

"So many casualties, your captain was killed by a little kid and just earlier my vice captain was dragged to death by an old woman. What a bizarre village this is." Captain Jiggs said and looked at a certain tree.

"What do you think, Mad Bear Torres?"

Torres emerge in a tree and looked cautiously at the Captain Marine "Dying to the hand of an old woman, what a humiliating death." and readying himself for a fight but Captain Jiggs just calmly ignored him and walked slowly leaving the wary pirate "You would die to that old woman if you by chance meet her earlier but what an unlucky day for Merv."

Captain Jiggs stopped for a while and said "Ow, the kid who killed your captain is in that direction." then leave afterward.

'Thinking ahead I would not kill that brute for a while as I need manpower to achieve my goal, what a shame for Merv though' the captain sighs in loss and determined the location of his mission, and strode to it.

"He should use the noble kid's head, then I'll get it in his hands afterward. That should be one mission accomplished."

"Hmph, don't order me around bastard!" weakly murmured as he know himself that he wouldn't win in a fight to that captain as he knows that man deeply hidden his power so he was currently in the standard rank of the marines.

But he really should find the kid and decapitate his head to show that he avenged their captain and he can own the pirate crew and become the captain.

He looked in the direction where the bastard marine point on to and hardly step in the ground and catapult there in the air. As he landed on the ground he was dazzled to see a kid who was currently in a muddles state.

"I'm sorry, It's because of me why all you die!" Pate who is in the middle of self blame and frenzy state weakly said as he cried looking at the sky.

But what dazzled Torres is the mark that glowing in the chest part of the kid where an obvious mark was shining in green lights.

And his black iris have this tiny mark on it and form like a spider web as a green glow in it.

"T-this!? I should kill him immediately!" Torres didn't know what is happening but he should go for the kill and end this fuss.

His hands transform into a bear like paw as a metallic claw gleamed in the moonlight "Die kid!" and dashed forward and clawed toward the neck of the kid but he was stun when the roots in the surroundings move like it was a living snake and whip him in the waist with a speed that he can't fathom and be repelled far away.

Four massive trees were destroyed and fall because of the devastating blow, Torres hardly groan in pain and vomit a mouthful of blood as he feels the dozen broken bones in his body "Arrkkgghh!"
