How do you stand up and down?

The sound of the flow of the servant is the sound of the servant..."

It must be said that the charm of the song is amazing. When the music starts, everyone is immersed in the mood. The old man recalled his desire to become stronger and the countless times he faced difficulties and overcame them. The young man was also inspired by the song to become stronger and never give up.

BGM truly lives up to its reputation as a master of showing off. Once this skill is unleashed, everyone submits. Regardless of what others thought before, at least now they all look at Yi Shuihan with new respect.

Roger smiled, seemingly extremely satisfied with the atmosphere Yi Shuihan had created.

The music continued, and Yi Shuihan's aura grew stronger with it. A gust of wind suddenly appeared around him and spread outwards.

As the last note of the music played, Yi Shuihan finally made his move. A sword aura hundreds of meters long shot into the sky, transcending time and space to instantly strike Roger.

This attack was comparable to that of an admiral, and it was no less powerful than the one Hawkeye used in the original story. He was originally completely unable to use it, and he only managed to use it by slowly gathering his energy and consuming most of his stamina.

Faced with this powerful attack, Roger did not resist. Instead, he opened his arms to meet it, as if he were courting death. He accepted the way Yi Shuihan had given him.

"He didn't even fall down in death!" Looking at Roger, who still had a smile on his face and his eyes were still open, though he had lost a bit of his liveliness, Yi Shuihan sighed. This way of dying was indeed much better than being beheaded!

Since that's the case, I'll take good care of your body for you; it's a way of repaying a favor.

Yi Shuihan understood that if Roger didn't want to, he absolutely couldn't kill him.

"Dead? The Pirate King is dead!" When Yi Shuihan walked up to Roger, someone exclaimed in surprise, showing an expression of disbelief, clearly still finding it unbelievable.

At that moment, everyone felt a sense of loss.

Now that the Pirate King is dead, this grand event has come to an end. Many smart people left cautiously, while only a few powerful individuals wanted to see what would happen next.

"What do you want to do?" Kizaru looked at Yi Shuihan with confusion. This time, he paid even more attention to Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan's previous attack could have threatened an admiral. Although he could have avoided it, there were more than just him among the marines. If Yi Shuihan went berserk, the marines would inevitably suffer some losses.

Most importantly, Yi Shuihan has not yet shown any intention to antagonize the Navy. In fact, having just killed the Pirate King, he is still thinking about whether he can win Yi Shuihan over to the Navy, so his tone is still relatively amicable.

"I'm going to take his body with me!" Yi Shuihan said bluntly. At this moment, he seemed more confident than before and was no longer so afraid of Huang Yuan.

What's going on? His aura hasn't decreased; in fact, it's become much stronger. Is it just my imagination? Huang Yuan was puzzled. He had clearly seen that Yi Shuihan's aura had noticeably dropped after he unleashed that attack. How could it be completely different in the blink of an eye?

In fact, Yi Shuihan's mission was completed the moment Roger died. The mission reward was directly issued, instantly transforming him. His strength is now comparable to that of a general, and with some more training, he can solidify his position at the general level.

It has to be said that the more difficult the task, the richer the reward. After completing this task, the reward was to upgrade any one of his current skills to the extraordinary stage, plus a skill lottery.

Yi Shuihan didn't use his upgraded skill to the extraordinary level, but he did complete the subsequent lottery draw. The newly acquired skill did not disappoint him, directly causing a huge leap in his strength, from lieutenant general to general, the highest level of combat power in the entire world, truly deserving to be called a strongman.

Chapter 16, Skill Burst

It's hard to believe that an 11-year-old general could be called that. Even Roger, at that age, would only be equivalent to a major at most.

The transition from vice admiral to admiral is a huge hurdle. Just look at the navy: there are only a handful of admirals, while there are dozens or even hundreds of vice admirals. What skill did Yi Shuihan possess that enabled him to make such a leap?

Skill Name: Burst Aura (Perfect):

Rank: Bronze II

Description: Increases strength by 3 times in all aspects, lasting until stamina is exhausted.

"

Although it may seem like 3 times is nothing, it's not calculated that way. It's a comprehensive improvement, not just one aspect. In other words, as long as you unleash your full power, everything—strength, speed, physical recovery, skill power, etc.—will increase by 3 times. The total increase is not just a simple 3-fold increase in strength; it's at least more than 10 times.

It took a tenfold increase for Yi Shuihan to cross the threshold of becoming a general, which shows just how big the gap is between a general and a lieutenant general.

Previously, Yi Shuihan could unleash sword energy hundreds of meters long with a single full-force strike. Now, sword energy thousands of meters long is no problem at all. It can be said that he could sink a small island with a single blow, comparable to a real nuclear weapon, or a nuclear weapon in human form without any limitations.

And if you think about the level of Roger and others who are above the generals, you'll know how dangerous this world is.

"Take his body away?" Kizaru was taken aback. He himself didn't mind too much. Although Roger was an enemy, he admired him greatly. He had no problem giving Roger a dignified burial after his death.

"What do you want to do with his body?" A strong voice suddenly came from behind Yi Shuihan.

Huh? I didn't even notice how he got behind me! Yi Shuihan was startled. He turned around and saw who it was, and then he was slightly relieved. It was Garp. Although he was a vice admiral, his true strength surpassed that of an admiral. He was a fierce man who had chased Roger many times.

Out of respect for the strong and Garp's character, Yi Shuihan's tone softened slightly, "I want to find a place to bury him. Since I killed him, I should naturally collect his body."

Looking at the boy's unwavering gaze, Garp knew the boy was right. After thinking it over, he decided not to refuse. Roger was his friend, and he didn't want Roger's body to be used for research.

Although he thought so, Garp couldn't just agree on his own, since he wasn't the one in charge here.

As they were talking, the real person in charge, Sengoku, also arrived. As one of the few wise generals in the navy, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He looked Yi Shuihan, this young man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, up and down.

Regardless of Yi Shuihan's strength, he can already be considered a prodigy at this age, and his demeanor is extraordinary. It is clear at a glance that he will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the world in the future.

"Are you interested in joining our navy? If you agree, I'll arrange a rear admiral position for you." Sengoku's words caused an uproar among those around him.

Major General? Don't be fooled by the fact that the Major General is basically a minor character with little presence in the original work; in the real world, it's not like that at all.

As the fourth rank in the navy, after admiral, general, and vice admiral, their power is so great that they can be on par with ordinary small kings in the outside world, and even in medium-sized countries, they are someone that even the king has to treat with respect.

In reality, this would be equivalent to the position of a mayor, especially in a relatively large city.

Furthermore, this is clearly just the beginning. He was promoted to major general right away, which shows how much the Warring States period valued him. Anyone with a modicum of sense knows that he is bound to become a lieutenant general, a general, and even a marshal.

Even Yi Shuihan was taken aback when he heard Zhan Guo's offer of recruitment. It was indeed very sincere, and he was tempted. Being a pirate sounds nice, like being free and unrestrained, but in reality, you have to rely on yourself for everything and you are always surrounded and attacked. It's not as comfortable as being a navy pirate.

However, joining the navy inevitably involves some shady dealings, which makes Yi Shuihan somewhat conflicted.

Sensing Yi Shuihan's hesitation and dilemma, Zhan Guo smiled slightly and said, "You can consider it. My conditions are still valid, as long as you don't become a pirate."

"As for your conditions, I agree. You can take him with you now!"

An old fox is an old fox. This will make Yi Shuihan more inclined to side with the navy.

In reality, anyone from the world of One Piece would have agreed without hesitation in this situation, since Cai had just killed the Pirate King and could no longer survive as a pirate; joining the Navy would be his last resort.

Yi Shuihan is different after all. His future cannot be bound by any world. In addition, he already has the strength of a general. There is nowhere in the world he cannot go. No faction can bind him anymore.

"Thank you! I will give you an answer in three days." With Roger's body in his arms, Yi Shuihan slowly departed.

Watching Yi Shuihan's departing figure, Zhan Guo's eyes flashed with a sharp light. This boy is extraordinary. If he cannot become a member of the Navy, he must not be allowed to become an enemy.

"This isn't like you! You agreed so easily?" Garp teased.

“Old friend, can’t you see it? The power hidden within his body.” Zhan Guo’s tone was solemn.

Garp paused for a moment, then said, "Want to have a donut-eating contest? I've already broken the previous record."

"Get lost!" Sengoku's face darkened.

"I never expected to encounter the infamous Dark King Rayleigh!" Yi Shuihan sized up the man in front of him, who was still at the peak of his life. Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the man, he became somewhat wary. He had no idea what the man was thinking. If he wanted to avenge Roger, then a great battle was inevitable.

Even with his confidence, Yi Shuihan didn't believe he could defeat Rayleigh in his current state. If Rayleigh were to make a move, he might have no choice but to retreat when the opportunity arose.

Rayleigh didn't speak, but looked at Roger on Yi Shuihan's back with a sad expression, as if he was lost in memories.

a long time,

"Although it was Roger's choice, you did take action after all. Let me test whether you are qualified!"

"Still want to fight? Then let's fight!"

Chapter 17, The Song of Ultraman

Although he knew he was no match for Yi Shuihan, he still had the courage to fight.

Perfect, let me see just how strong I am now.

With this thought in mind, Yi Shuihan felt much calmer, but before that...

"Right here?" Yi Shuihan knew the other person understood what he meant.

Seeing Yi Shuihan's attitude, a hint of appreciation appeared in Rayleigh's eyes. Then, his expression turned slightly serious, and he waved to the person behind him. A tall and strong giant appeared.

"Take the captain away!" The giant man came to Yi Shuihan, who handed Roger's body to him. He was at ease leaving Roger in Rayleigh's care.

The giant took Roger away, leaving only Rayleigh and Yi Shuihan facing off.

"Draw your sword! Let me see your capabilities!" Rayleigh's tone was calm, as if he were instructing a junior, clearly indicating that he did not truly regard Yi Shuihan as an opponent of the same level.

Yi Shuihan didn't care. The other party was qualified. The title of Hades was not something that could be given away so easily; it was earned through real strength.

A white light burst forth from Yi Shuihan's body. He unleashed his power and instantly felt a surge of strength welling up from the depths of his body, causing his power to skyrocket.

An invisible aura spread from Yi Shuihan's body, transforming into gusts of wind that shook the sand and stones on the ground.

"This is...?" Rayleigh was also taken aback by Yi Shuihan's sudden outburst. The increase in strength was too great, directly jumping from the rank of lieutenant general to the rank of general.

Even Rayleigh, who was an admiral, dared not underestimate him, and his eyes became much more serious.

Is it a Devil Fruit? No, it should be a special technique that temporarily enhances physical abilities but cannot be sustained. Rayleigh's insight and experience are extremely keen, and he saw through the essence of the burst aura.

This is an ability I've never seen before. If he created it himself, then it's terrifying! This thought popped into Rayleigh's mind, and he began to somewhat agree with Yi Shuihan.

"Senior, I won't stand on ceremony." Knowing that he couldn't win by sheer force of will, and that his burst of energy couldn't sustain a prolonged battle, Yi Shuihan chose to attack first.

With a single step, Yi Shuihan shot out, cracks spreading across the area where the battle had been fought, demonstrating the immense force he exerted.

"Clang!" Yi Shuihan's wooden sword swept horizontally, while Rayleigh's sword was already drawn.

Yi Shuihan knew that he was no match for Rayleigh, but he wanted to at least let Rayleigh know that he was not someone to be trifled with. With his life-saving skill, Instant Flash, he could easily escape under his rage, so he was not worried about his escape route and could fully unleash his strength.

Adhering to the principle of striking while the iron is hot, Yi Shuihan launched a fierce attack, giving Rayleigh no chance to strike.

Whether it's chopping, hacking, slashing, stabbing, lifting, or strangling...

Yi Shuihan smoothly executed various basic sword techniques, each move flowing seamlessly together, fully demonstrating his solid foundation in swordsmanship.

But it was no use. Compared to swordsmanship, Rayleigh was even more unfathomable. Every time, he could find Yi Shuihan's attack point one step ahead and block it. Yi Shuihan even felt that if Rayleigh hadn't been unwilling, he could have countered instantly.

And that was indeed the case; Rayleigh did not use his full strength, as can be seen from the fact that he did not use his Haki at all.

Even without using his domineering aura, he could easily withstand Yi Shuihan's attack; if he did use it, the situation would likely change instantly.

It's important to know that Haki is one of the three major power systems in this world, on par with Devil Fruits and swordsmanship. In fact, it's far more difficult to learn than the latter two, and its initial power boost is also higher.

Ordinary moves had no effect on Rayleigh, so Yi Shuihan simply used Instant Flash. In his berserk state, even Rayleigh, caught off guard, suffered a minor loss as a corner of his clothes was cut off.

"Good lad!" Rayleigh exclaimed, then exerted his strength, his originally fair hand quickly turning pitch black.

"Such powerful force! Is it Armament Haki?" After using Haki, Yi Shuihan's hand trembled slightly, and he immediately had the idea of ​​learning Haki in the future.

Lacking sufficient strength, Yi Shuihan naturally couldn't engage in a direct confrontation, so he began to use swimming techniques to avoid physical clashes.

Because of the instantaneous flash, Yi Shuihan's speed advantage remains, allowing him to launch occasional counterattacks.

The battle continued for a while, and Rayleigh suddenly said, "Kid, why is Observation Haki useless against you?"

"Huh?" Yi Shuihan was also stunned. Thinking back to the previous battle, he suddenly realized that he thought Rayleigh hadn't used Observation Haki, but it turned out he had used it but hadn't.

It must be a system issue? Even Roger's Hear the Voice of All Things didn't work, so naturally ordinary Observation Haki wouldn't work either.

He smiled without saying a word, because he really didn't know how to answer. Should he tell Rayleigh that it was because of the system?

"You won't talk? Then I'll beat you until you do." Rayleigh's aura suddenly turned fierce. If it was an ordinary sword before, it had now become a divine sword.

Yi Shuihan felt a chill run down his spine and unconsciously increased his strength.

"The sword energy is everywhere!"

With a wave of his hand, Rayleigh unleashed hundreds of white sword energies, each about ten feet long, shooting towards Yi Shuihan.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sword energy struck the ground beside him, creating a crater several meters wide, comparable to a cannonball. The force of a single strike was equivalent to a salvo from an artillery battalion, or even greater, making it terrifyingly powerful.

In response, Yi Shuihan could only rely on his extraordinary speed to dodge, and only used his sword to defend himself when all else failed.

"That's enough! If my strength weren't even slightly lacking, I would be seriously injured!" Yi Shuihan thought angrily, then...

"Just as sunlight pierces through the darkness, and dawn quietly sweeps across the horizon, whose voice echoes through the cycle of reincarnation? The road ahead lies beneath our feet. Do not grieve, do not fear, but look forward to tomorrow with confidence. A new storm has already appeared, how can it cease its relentless advance..."

As Ultraman sang his song of hope, a miracle truly occurred: the sword energy in the air abruptly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

"What kind of ability is this?" Rayleigh was dumbfounded; he had never seen such a bizarre scene before.

"You want to learn? I'm not going to teach you! Hmph." Yi Shuihan said arrogantly.

Chapter 18, Joining the Navy

Rayleigh was speechless, but he didn't press the matter further. It's normal for others not to tell you things that are obviously their trump cards.

After this short battle, Rayleigh had a general understanding of Yi Shuihan's strength. If he didn't unleash his full power, he would be at the level of a vice admiral. Once he did, he would basically reach the level of an admiral. In addition, with his strange speed and the strange ability he just possessed, he was not weak among the admirals. Even Rayleigh himself would not be able to defeat Yi Shuihan.

And he's still a teenager! I remember when I was that age...

Dying at his hands wouldn't be a disgrace to the captain; this thought became increasingly certain in his mind.

Rayleigh himself knew that the reason Yi Shuihan was able to kill Roger was Roger's own choice, but he just couldn't accept it for a while. Now that he had fought with Yi Shuihan and understood Yi Shuihan's strength, he had calmed down a lot and decided to let Yi Shuihan go for the time being.

"Aren't you going to fight anymore?" Seeing Rayleigh suddenly put away his sword, Yi Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the other party would unleash some powerful moves, in which case he would really have no choice but to retreat strategically. It's better not to retreat strategically if possible.
