However, Will paid no mind to what Torega was thinking.
Hearing the man ask about his identity again, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, his tone tinged with surprise as he countered:
"Oh? Do you normally introduce yourself to a corpse?"
Torega was stunned for a moment, but he quickly caught on to the meaning behind Will's words. A sinister grin spread across his face.
"Kid, you sure seem confident in your own strength."
He had no intention of wasting any more words. With a wave of his large hand, he barked:
"Kill this damn bastard! And capture those two women who dared to steal our treasure—alive!"
At their captain's command, the so-called treasure hunters instantly brandished their weapons and charged at Will like a pack of rabid beasts.
"Haha! Cut him down!"
"Heh heh~! Let me handle this! My blade's coated in venom!"
"Charge together! Take back our treasure!"
"Jie jie jie~! Grab those two women!"
Watching the horde of pirates rushing toward him, their shouts echoing in the air, Will's lips curled into a wicked smile.
"How troublesome... Looks like it's another massacre."
He casually ran his fingers through his hair, smoothing it back.
The battle lust he usually kept suppressed surged forth like a tidal wave, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp, murderous intent.
"Pirates born of evil—I'll take care of you myself!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Will didn't retreat. Instead, he stepped forward, vanishing from his spot in an instant and reappearing before the nearest pirate.
Iron Body: Collapsing Fist!
Tensing his muscles into hardened steel, Will clenched his right fist and delivered a devastating punch straight at the pirate's torso.
A shockwave burst from the impact, sending the pirate flying backward like a cannonball.
The men behind him had no time to react before the airborne body slammed into them, knocking them over like bowling pins. They crashed to the ground, blood dripping from their mouths, eyes rolled back—dead in an instant.
Without pausing, Will's gaze shifted to another pirate on his left—a scar-faced brute swinging his blade down at him.
With a swift sidestep, Will effortlessly avoided the attack.
At the same time, he raised his arm and drove his elbow forward—
Iron Body: Iron Elbow!
His muscles tightened like forged steel, turning his elbow into a battering ram as it crashed into the pirate's temple.
The sheer force of the impact turned the pirate's eyes bloodshot. He staggered sideways, body twitching violently, before collapsing lifelessly to the ground.
Another pirate roared as he lunged from behind, swinging his blade at Will's neck, aiming for a fatal strike.
At such close range, attacking from a blind spot—any ordinary person would have been defenseless.
But Will was no ordinary person.
The moment his assailant shouted, his body had already reacted instinctively.
With a fluid motion, Will spun to the side, narrowly dodging the incoming strike. In the same movement, he maneuvered behind his attacker.
In the blink of an eye, their roles had reversed.
Iron Body: Spinal Break!
Without hesitation, Will reinforced his hand with hardened muscles and delivered a precise, lightning-fast chop to the back of the pirate's neck.
A sickening crunch echoed as the pirate's head snapped backward at an unnatural angle, forcing him to stare helplessly at the sky.
His body crumpled like a ragdoll, spasming slightly before going completely still.
But even such a gruesome sight didn't deter the surrounding pirates. They continued their frenzied assault without fear or hesitation.
Will's eyes darted around, rapidly assessing the positioning and distance of his enemies as he adjusted his footing.
In an instant, Will's body swayed like a weightless sheet of paper, tilting unnaturally as if he were about to fall.
Using the shift in momentum, he closed the distance between himself and a burly pirate in the blink of an eye.
Before the man could react, Will had already struck.
With an explosive burst of speed, Will propelled himself forward, driving his elbow into the pirate's chest with unstoppable force.
The pirate's eyes bulged as blood spurted from his mouth, his chest caving inward from the sheer impact.
Will withdrew his elbow swiftly, dodging the spray of blood while shifting his gaze to his side.
As the burly pirate collapsed to his knees, three more pirates rushed in from Will's flank, weapons raised high!
Unfazed, Will remained calm. He extended his right foot in a lightning-fast motion, stomping down on all three pirates' feet before they could strike.
Crunch, crunch, crunch—!!!
The sheer force was like a steamroller flattening them into the ground.
The excruciating pain contorted their faces as they let out synchronized screams of agony.
Tears streamed from their eyes as they instinctively dropped their weapons, bending over to cradle their mangled feet.
Their movements were almost eerily synchronized.
But Will had no time to dwell on such trivial details. As soon as he regained his footing, he surged forward once more!
Like an unyielding iron mountain, he crashed into the three injured pirates, sending them soaring through the air.
Even their crushed feet, previously embedded in the ground, were yanked free, kicking up dirt and debris as they tumbled away.
Suddenly, just as Will completed his attack, two massive chains shot out from the side!
Like two lurking black serpents, they lashed toward him with deadly precision.
Yet, the instant the chains whistled through the air, Will had already reacted.
He stood his ground, his muscles tensing like reinforced steel. Raising his hardened arms, he met the chains head-on, his eyes filled with unwavering confidence.
The chains struck his arms with immense force, producing a crisp metallic clang.
But despite the tremendous impact, Will remained completely unmoved, standing firm as if rooted to the earth.
