"Silver Wolf!"
Claude’s body twisted, and immediately, silver wolf fur appeared all over him, his hands transforming into wolf claws, his legs into wolf legs, and even Claude’s head began to change, gradually turning into a wolf’s head.
The power of the Silver Wolf Fruit!
In an instant, Claude transformed into a standing silver wolf!
Bai Ye tilted his head and said, "The Silver Wolf Fruit combined with beast transformation, Iron Block techniques with steelification? You didn't take those three guys as your subordinates because they had abilities similar to yours, did you?"
"Not subordinates, but pups!" Claude said in a deep voice, "They are all my children!"
Bai Ye spread his hands and said, "Whatever, it's all the same. If you love them so much, go and join them!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he stepped forward and threw a punch.
Poison Dragon!
A large amount of venom gathered, forming a poison dragon that charged forward, rapidly approaching Claude.
But Claude was very fast!
Facing the approaching poison dragon, Claude flickered his body, circled around from the side, directly evading the poison dragon's attack, and then sprinted towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye was not particularly surprised by this.
If the Poison-Poison Fruit had any obvious drawbacks, besides lacking burst damage, it was...
Attack speed!
While the Poison-Poison Fruit's attacks couldn't be called slow, they were generally average. Against fast opponents, it was difficult to land a hit.
However, the weaknesses of the Poison-Poison Fruit were relative.
Just as the Poison-Poison Fruit lacked burst damage but had terrifying continuous damage.
Although the attack speed of the Poison-Poison Fruit was average, even if he could dodge, it would be difficult for the opponent to get close to attack Bai Ye, because, in the state of the Poison-Poison Fruit, Bai Ye's body was untouchable.
As long as they touched him, the opponent would be injured by the venom, and even getting too close to Bai Ye was not allowed. Bai Ye not only had venom but also poisonous gas.
So, what choice did Claude have?
Of course...
Ranged attack!
Stardust Bullet!
Claude reached out towards Bai Ye, and then, a large area of silver-white light appeared again, like scattered starlight, which then condensed into Stardust Bullets that shot towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye curled his lips, a wise choice.
Since close combat was not viable, ranged attacks were the only option.
However...
The power of the Stardust Bullets was not enough to kill him, and if he didn't get close, the physical attribute boost from the Silver Wolf Fruit's Silver Wolf form would be meaningless.
Bai Ye waved his hand, and a large wave of flames shot forward.
Boom, boom, boom!
Upon contact with the flames, the Stardust Bullets continuously exploded, emitting loud noises.
Bai Ye looked at Claude and said, "See, it's useless..."
Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, his pupils suddenly narrowed.
Under the cover of the Stardust Bullets, Claude had actually charged towards him, instantly appearing in front of Bai Ye, then opening his arms and embracing Bai Ye.
At this moment, Bai Ye was covered in corrosive venom. The instant Claude embraced Bai Ye, a "sizzling" sound emanated from Claude's body. The intense pain caused Claude's body to tremble uncontrollably.
But...
"I've got you!"
Claude's silver fur was quickly scorched, turning black, and his flesh was continuously corroded by the venom. His flesh quickly became pitted and bloody.
However, Claude appeared incredibly excited.
Because he had hugged Bai Ye, preventing Bai Ye from using "Soru" to create distance.
Then...
Claude opened his large maw, preparing to bite towards Bai Ye's head.
"So that's how it is!"
Bai Ye understood Claude's intention.
This guy didn't intend to exploit the ordinary attack speed of the Poison-Poison Fruit, but rather to exploit another weakness of the Poison-Poison Fruit – its lack of burst damage.
The Poison-Poison Fruit was a type that dealt continuous damage, which meant it was difficult to kill someone instantly!
Claude had recognized this, intending to...
Kill Bai Ye before Bai Ye could kill him!
But...
Looking at Claude opening his maw and revealing his sharp wolf fangs, Bai Ye remained indifferent.
"A good strategy, but unfortunately..." Bai Ye said, "You can't kill me!"
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking...
Shadow Ball!
Gengar suddenly appeared from the shadow behind Claude, grinning widely as it floated into the air, condensing a Shadow Ball in its hands and hurling it towards Claude's back.
Boom!
The Shadow Ball hit Claude's back, then exploded with a deafening roar.
The intense shockwave spread outwards as the Shadow Ball detonated, sending Claude flying.
Bai Ye had secretly released Gengar from the beast-taming ball earlier, and it had been lurking in the vicinity!
On the other side, after rolling several times on the ground, Claude struggled to get up. At this moment, Bai Ye walked up to Claude, stepped on his chest, and pushed Claude back to the ground.
"If it hurts so much, don't struggle anymore," Bai Ye said. "Go and join your pups!"
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, a large amount of venom flowed from his body, continuously dripping down and completely engulfing Claude's body.
"Ah..."
As the venom covered him, Claude let out a scream until Bai Ye turned and disappeared at the end of the street, the scream gradually faded.
"Unlucky!"
After Claude died, Bai Ye couldn't help but complain.
With Claude's strength, Bai Ye believed he should have had quite a few God Stone fragments, but none dropped.
However, this was purely a matter of luck, and Bai Ye could do nothing about it.
The good news was...
Bai Ye's Sin Value instantly reached 770 points!
Claude's strength was not much stronger than Adam's, who had nearly killed Bai Ye, but Claude had a very high Order Value.
After all, if Claude and the three he had previously dealt with cooperated, it would be easier to farm Order Value. Furthermore, Claude was the strongest, so most of the Order Value would naturally be concentrated on him. This was why Bai Ye's Sin Value increased by nearly two hundred points after killing Claude.
"Still need 230 more points. With a little effort, I should be able to receive a quest soon."
Bai Ye showed a hint of excitement. After all, he was still almost halfway to his Sin Value goal, but with Claude's assistance, reaching one thousand Sin Value had suddenly become within reach.
As Bai Ye was thinking, a television in a shop window on the side suddenly caught his eye.
On the television screen, Director Gordon was being interviewed, and behind Director Gordon, he was being escorted into a car...
The Joker!
The Joker had been caught!
