"That\'s cold." Buzzing sounds emanated from the body of the risen pirate. In a mesmerizing display, his once black robe began to disintegrate into fine ash particles, gracefully drifting into the vast expanse of the atmosphere.

A wave of coldness washed over David\'s face, betraying his surprise. The presence of this individual had managed to completely elude his senses. Even during the intense battle, when David struck him with a powerful palm strike, there was no discernible reaction. It puzzled him deeply. Perhaps, it was due to the fact that all his sensory were being overloaded but it could also be another matter entirely.

As the robe dissolved into nothingness, the concealed form underneath was finally unveiled, exposing a young and captivating gentleman. His countenance bore the striking mark of a criss-cross scar gracing the corners of his face, adding an air of mystery to his appearance. One of his eyes possessed an ethereal purity, gleaming entirely white, while the other retained its natural hue of captivating blue. Judging by his youthful visage, he appeared to be merely a few years older than David, with an estimated age of approximately 26 years old.

He was certainly a strange 26 year old. For Stoned to have that sort of confidence to smile at the verge of death, that was certainly very terrifying.

Dusting the ash off his body, the young man continued. "Though easily expendable, Stoned was quite loyal. "

David spared a glance at Stoned and then at the young man. His pupils constricted and blood iced with his optical nerves turning them blood shot. 

It was dripping crimson red as he stared at the figure before him. What David saw made his rapidly beating heart skip a beat.

"Ah, I see. So that\'s the source of your strength. It\'s quite an unusual theory, I must say. Considering the body\'s remarkable ability to adapt to change, why not enhance its adaptive strength by subjecting it to greater challenges? The greater the pressure, the more room you have to grow."

With a blink of his expressionless eyes, the young man locked his gaze onto David, as if peering through the depths of his being, unearthing countless enigmatic secrets hidden within his very core, his vision penetrating through every layer of his skin.

"Truly a massive universe filled with strange things indeed."

David felt absolutely uncomfortable. He controlled his muscles, oscillating them as he immediately released a pulse filled with destructive waves with thew undulation of his muscles. With that, he had managed to destroy the young man\'s ability to view through his body no matter how formidable it might seem. 

"What do you want? With your strength, mingling with Pirates is beneath any of you. What\'s you angle here?" 

The young man smirked hearing David\'s words. He gently walked towards the cockpit where the captain was, passing by David\'s side who was at the entrance by a mere inch. 

But it was as though David didn\'t dare to do anything and could only watch as the young man passed by him, helplessly witnessing the young man\'s unhindered advance as he strode past him , closing in on the captain with swift purpose. In a bold display of strength, the young man seized the captain by the neck, firmly asserting his dominance over the situation.

Wait! H-Hold on! How much do you desire? One Cosmic coin? Or perhaps ten?! I implore you, name your price! I am willing to offer any amount, just spare my life." The captain\'s words tumbled out in a rapid flurry, laced with an overwhelming sense of fear and terror. The sheer intensity of his emotions dripped down his face like a relentless stream, painting a vivid portrait of his distress.

"Humans without strength, so weak. So easy to play with." 

The chilling words hung in the air, reverberating with an eerie resonance. Suddenly, a sharp and thunderous crack shattered the previously tranquil silence, jolting the crew members and flight attendants into a state of panic. Gasps and screams erupted from all corners of the cabin, a cacophony of fear and disbelief as the chilling reality of the situation took hold. 

"Ahhh!"

Overwhelmed by the intense circumstances, one of the flight attendants reached her breaking point and swiftly made the decision to escape. However, as she frantically attempted to approach the exit, tragedy struck in a horrifying instant. In a catastrophic turn of events, her body erupted into a devastating explosion upon coming into proximity with the young man. 

The sheer force unleashed upon her passing shattered her form into an indescribable display of destruction, leaving behind a scene of unimaginable blood, gore and devastation.

David\'s pupils shook slightly and his heart quaked with worry. He saw exactly how the woman exploded and even saw the young man pointing at the waitress direction but after that, what happened next exceeded his entire thought process.

He the young man\'s senses could only grasp the shifting air compression and the subtle alterations in pressure, a sudden and violent explosion ruptured the atmosphere, causing blood to disperse in all directions. Amidst the chaos, a small droplet of crimson landed on the corner of David\'s lips, drawing his attention to the gruesome aftermath. His gaze fell upon the disfigured remains of what was once a waitress, now reduced to a grotesque mass resembling nothing more than pulverized flesh.

In an instant, a spontaneous chuckle escaped David\'s lips, accompanied by a carefree smile that embraced his entire face. Retreat from a battle? Not a chance. Reflecting on his past experiences, David had never shied away from a confrontation, no matter how formidable the opponent. Even though this current adversary seemed to possess a level of power that surpassed that of the sun celestial he had recently encountered, David\'s life had been defined by countless encounters with individuals wielding greater strength than his own. David\'s entire life had been based on fighting individuals with higher levels of strength than his. 

Hence, David found himself completely devoid of fear, quite the contrary, in fact. Instead, an overwhelming surge of exhilaration coursed through his veins, defying any attempt at verbal description. It was as if a potent elixir of excitement had infused every fiber of his being, compelling him to exert tremendous effort in containing the intenBut sity within himself.
