Starting with Contracting with Red-Haired Shanks

Li Cang's expression turned extremely grim. Indeed, he had already been beaten, and if they were to start a fight now, the beating would have been for nothing.

But it hurt so much.

Ye Yu grew impatient: "Make your choice quickly, continue or stop."

Li Cang, humiliated, replied: "Continue."

Slap!

As soon as Li Cang finished speaking, Ye Yu delivered another fierce slap to his face, sending him spinning several times in the air before he hit the ground.

Those watching the live stream could feel the pain.

"That was so loud, it must hurt."

"I used to see videos of foreigners slapping each other, thinking they were brutal, but Li Cang got it worse. His face is swollen like a pig's head, completely deformed."

"Ordinary people can't compare to pirates."

"What kind of grudge is this?"

"After all, Li Cang and Lin Muxue from the Chosen One Pirate Crew often mocked Ye Yu, doing all sorts of nasty things behind his back. Like threatening people not to join the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew and mocking Ye Yu's strength, which Lin Muxue seemed to enjoy."

...

After nine slaps, Li Cang could barely stand. He was even knocked unconscious at times, only to be jolted awake by the pain of another slap.

Ye Yu felt somewhat relieved.

"Alright, let's stop here for now."

This brought a sigh of relief from everyone in the Chosen One Pirate Crew, as they could avoid a fight.

The crew quickly helped Li Cang up, and the ship's doctor applied medicine, but the injuries were too severe to heal quickly.

Li Cang felt his face go numb, unable to feel it anymore, but he could see his swollen cheeks. Normally, one could only see a bit of their nose, but his face was so swollen like a pig's head that he could clearly see it.

Xia Ling laughed: "Hahaha, he looks like a pig's head now."

Zhao Yan'er mocked: "It's so ridiculous and funny."

Zhou Xing sneered: "If I didn't know better, I'd think he ate the Zoan Pig-Pig Fruit and transformed into a pig's head."

...

Facing the ridicule, Li Cang had never felt so humiliated. Millions had seen it, it was trending, and more people would know. He had become a global laughingstock.

The crew of the Chosen One Pirate Crew whispered in Li Cang's ear.

"Vice Captain, you did well."

"You've suffered, but it's for the best now."

"Starting from level 30, Ye Yu will gradually weaken. That's when we'll take our revenge. The Dominant Feather Pirate Crew has many Non-Ability Users, so their mid-game will be their weak period."

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. Vice Captain, you're not Ye Yu's match now, but by level 50 or 60, I believe you can defeat him one-on-one."

...

Hearing this, Li Cang felt a bit better, though his heart remained cold.

"Ye Yu, I'll remember you. I'll endure this humiliation now to avenge it later. By mid-game, you'll be weak, and I'll definitely repay today's humiliation."

Ye Yu frowned slightly: "Li Cang, you're not happy?"

Li Cang quickly softened his gaze and shook his head.

"Not at all."

Ye Yu proposed: "I'll give you a chance. Let's exchange a punch, no Haki, and no matter the outcome, neither of us can object."

This surprised Li Cang, who felt a surge of joy.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course."

Li Cang confirmed: "Even if I injure you, your crew won't retaliate against us?"

"Of course, do you dare to accept?"

Li Cang was ecstatic but kept his composure and nodded: "Of course I can!"

Li Cang was extremely pleased, sneering inwardly, "What an idiot. Knowing I'm in a bad mood, are you trying to vent my anger? Just using your own strength to punch me, without using Haki, how could you possibly match me with the Might Might Fruit? If you were to use a Slash, I might hesitate to take it, but a punch? I have no reason to fear you. I could injure you, even break your arm, and you wouldn't be able to retaliate. You'd just have to endure it. Hahaha, this is perfect."

The crew of the Chosen One Pirate Crew was also stunned, whispering reminders.

"Captain, could this be a trick?"

"You've eaten the Might Might Fruit. How dare he challenge you to a pure strength contest?"

"What if he suddenly uses Haki?"

...

Li Cang sneered softly, "No, if he goes back on his word, he'll be humiliated in front of the world. So many people are watching."

The crew thought so too, but they were still worried.

"Ye Yu shouldn't be this foolish. Does he have confidence?"

Li Cang shook his head, "I don't think so. Although it's puzzling, how could he possibly match me in a punch? He didn't say I couldn't use the Might Might Fruit, so I'll definitely make him scream in pain."

In truth, Li Cang was also a bit confused. Why would Ye Yu propose this? Confidence? Impossible. Stupidity? Unlikely.

He didn't dwell on it too much.

Suddenly, the attention of the world was focused on them, as most people didn't understand either.

Ye Yu and Li Cang stood ten meters apart, facing each other, with everyone's eyes fixed on them.

Li Cang sneered inwardly, "Ye Yu, prepare to be sent flying in front of the world! This will make me famous and establish my authority, letting the world know the power of the Might Might Fruit."

Just as they were about to start, the Mystic Realm flashed, and a figure was teleported out, heavily injured, stumbling and nearly falling.

Li Cang quickly rushed forward to help Lin Muxue.

Lin Muxue was startled. Just as she emerged, a pig-headed man was charging at her. Was it an Exotic Beast?

Li Cang reached out to help Lin Muxue but was kicked away.

"Where did this pig-headed man come from? Get lost!"

Although injured, Lin Muxue was still capable of fighting. She kicked Li Cang in the abdomen, sending him flying.

However, she didn't use her abilities, so Li Cang quickly got up after flying ten meters, stunned.

"Xue Er, it's me."

Hearing this voice, Lin Muxue frowned slightly, finding it familiar.

"It's Li Cang."

Lin Muxue was taken aback, "Li Cang? How did you end up like this?"

"Xue Er, it's like this."

Li Cang quickly explained what had happened.

Lin Muxue's expression quickly turned grim, and she stepped forward, slapping him.

With a loud smack, she hit Li Cang's pig face, knocking him to the ground.

Li Cang was confused, "Xue Er, why did you hit me even though you knew it was me?"

Lin Muxue was furious, "In front of so many people, you've embarrassed our Chosen One Pirate Crew. You're the vice-captain of the Chosen One Pirate Crew, and you've disgraced us! From now on, you're no longer the vice-captain! The position of vice-captain is temporarily vacant!"

"What? I'm not the vice-captain anymore? Fine, then I'll be an Executive."

"Not even an Executive. You're such an embarrassment. You'll be a Combat Crew."

This made Li Cang want to cry. His status had dropped so low, but he had no choice. He knew Lin Muxue was trying to salvage some dignity.

After all, whether it's the vice-captain or a Combat Crew member of the Chosen One Pirate Crew being humiliated, the latter has a smaller impact.

Li Cang was feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

Lin Muxue also knew that even if she were present, Li Cang would still end up taking the blame. Now, she was just letting him continue to shoulder the responsibility.

Lin Muxue solemnly reminded him, "From now on, don't embarrass our Chosen One Pirate Crew. If you can save face, we might consider making you an Executive."

Lin Muxue was alread

y aware that Ye Yu was going to exchange a punch with Li Cang.

Li Cang confidently assured her, "Alright, Xue Er, don't worry. I am, after all, a Might Might Fruit Ability User."
