Chapter 188: A Perfect Performance
"It's just this kind of stuff... feels a bit overestimated," Mio muttered as he narrowed his eyes, glancing down at his feet. A Den Den Mushi lay there—clearly dropped by Amy earlier.
He stared at the Den Den Mushi for a moment, thoughtful. Then, he picked it up and waved to Hei Yan, pointing to the pirate ship nearby.
The pirates aboard that ship had already begun to panic. Seeing their captain killed so easily, fear consumed them. They scrambled to steer their vessel away as fast as they could.
Receiving Mio's signal, Hei Yan nodded without hesitation. The kaleidoscope pattern swirled in his eyes as a massive, black-and-purple phantom began to materialize around his body. In the phantom's hand, a bow forged entirely of black Amaterasu flames appeared. The giant phantom pulled back the bowstring, forming a searing arrow made of pure black fire.
The flaming arrow locked onto the retreating pirate ship.
The sinister flames radiated immense heat, making the air around the deck noticeably hotter.
Whoosh!
The sound of the arrow slicing through the air rang out.
Then—
Boom!
A thunderous explosion erupted as the arrow struck. The pirate ship was immediately engulfed in black flames, which devoured the ship piece by piece. The cursed fire didn't fade, continuing to burn even as the vessel was reduced to scattered planks.
