"Die, kid!"

Just as the blade was 10cm away from Yi Shuihan, Yi Shuihan moved instantly, slightly shifting his body and then sweeping his sword horizontally.

The sword in his hand moved like a nimble snake, passing through the four knives to reach their masters, and then with a light slash, as if cutting tofu, it swept across their necks.

"Boom!"

The four pirates in front of Yi Shuihan immediately fell to the ground, but at this moment Yi Shuihan had already appeared in another place, and the sword in his hand repeated the previous action.

His movements were incredibly smooth, and strangely enough, it seemed as if the pirates were deliberately delivering themselves into his sword each time.

"Such elegant swordsmanship? Is this a sword dance?"

"So...so strong!"

The entire battle lasted only a few moments. Once all the pirates except Scarface were dead, gasps of surprise rippled through the merchant ship, and the people on board looked at Yi Shuihan with shock in their eyes.

"You can't even warm me up properly, can't you be a little stronger?" Yi Shuihan frowned, his gaze towards the scarred man filled with dissatisfaction.

"Uh...uh..." Scarface was on the verge of tears, filled with fear while cursing Yi Shuihan countless times, "It's not that we're weak, it's that you're too strong! Where did this monster come from, and how did we end up running into it?"

Chapter 10, Niu Bi is unbearable to look at.

"Shouldn't we play a pretentious hit song now? How about Little Apple? Or The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style?" Despite his outward appearance, Yi Shuihan was actually thinking rather eccentrically.

In the end, I gave up on the idea of ​​performing a hit song, mainly because I felt that showing off in front of these people would be a bit low-class, and showing off also requires a good stage.

This makes me even more excited for One Piece's execution day. Should we play the March of the Volunteers or the Heroes' Song?

While Yi Shuihan was preoccupied with his own thoughts, others saw things quite differently. Our Scarface was under immense pressure! He was terrified by Yi Shuihan, but thankfully he didn't wet himself.

At this moment, there was movement on the opposite pirate ship again. A group of pirates who were obviously much more elite than the previous pirates boarded the ship.

"Captain Niu Bi, you've arrived." The scarred man greeted the seemingly frail but ruthless man with the air of someone seeing a relative.

"They were taken down so easily, a bunch of trash, they've really disgraced Captain Niu Bi." Niu Bi, the real captain of the Blood Bull Pirates, spoke with a hint of disdain.

He didn't care about the deaths of his men at all; was he more concerned about their incompetence? With that kind of personality, no wonder he became a captain!

"Awesome? Great name!" Yi Shuihan said with a hint of surprise, expressing his admiration for his parents' naming skills.

"Haha! You also think my name is great, don't you?" Niu Bi looked at everyone with an air of superior taste, which surprised everyone except the pirates.

Niu Bi's next move completely shocked Yi Shuihan. He cleared his throat and then...

"Come on, kids! Let's shout together!"

"Niu Bi, Niu Bi, the number one in the world, unifying the four seas, invincible under heaven!"

Amidst the almost stunned gazes of the crowd, a group of pirates who were originally known for their ruthless killer demeanor suddenly started shouting something that sounded like idiots, making it unbearable to watch.

In some ways, this sense of self-satisfaction is indeed quite impressive! Even Yi Shuihan had to admit that there was some truth to the name.

Can we still communicate normally? But this does match the art style I remember!

Yi Shuihan recalled the nonsensical scenes from One Piece in his memory, and suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity with the current situation.

Reality is reality; things won't just turn hostility into friendship and then everyone can play happily together.

Although Yi Shuihan was very strong and displayed extraordinary strength, it was clear that the pirates did not think so.

"Kid, you worked really hard just now, didn't you!" Niu Bi's expression turned somewhat cunning. "The reason you stopped at the end wasn't because you didn't want to, but because you used up too much energy. Am I right? You must have used some kind of explosive power just now, and you can't use it anymore."

"Is that so? As expected of the captain, you have a keen eye!" The scarred man quickly flattered him, but only he knew what he was really thinking.

Yi Shuihan didn't answer, too lazy to waste words, but in the eyes of the pirates, it gave the impression of showing weakness. Now, even those who didn't believe him before started to have some doubts. The pirates, who hadn't been so aggressive because they were wary of Yi Shuihan's strength, finally became unrestrained.

At this point, words are meaningless; only actions can prove everything. Yi Shuihan understood this and did just that.

Yi Shuihan casually tucked the wooden sword into the deck, assumed a fighting stance, and then...

His body blurred into afterimages, appearing before the pirates before they could even react, and then he gave them a proper demonstration of what a real fight was all about.

"Bang! Bang!" Fists landed with a thud, showcasing perfect violent aesthetics. Accompanied by the sounds of bones shattering and screams, just like before, soon all the pirates except for Niu Bi were lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

"Well, this is what you call a warm-up. Was the warm-up less effective before because of using a sword?" Yi Shuihan said, twisting his neck from side to side, looking quite satisfied.

Niu Bi's expression was extremely stiff. As the captain, he was naturally the most powerful person on the ship, but even so, he could easily feel the gap between himself and Yi Shuihan. It was a gap that could make him despair. At least now, he didn't even have the will to fight Yi Shuihan.

"Hey! How much is his bounty?" Yi Shuihan wasn't particularly interested in Niu Bi, who had absolutely no desire to fight.

"Ah! Oh! 1000 million, his bounty is a full 1000 million." Onodajima said hurriedly, his tone full of excitement. He had guessed that Yi Shuihan was a master, but he thought there would be an earth-shattering battle, or at least a close one. He did not expect that Yi Shuihan would completely crush him.

"1000 million! He's really a nobody. Oh well, I'll just exchange him for some small change. I'm still a poor guy anyway!" Yi Shuihan's thought ultimately saved Niu Bi's life.

After that, Yi Shuihan and his group arrived at their destination without incident. However, as soon as they arrived, Yi Shuihan parted ways with them and went directly to the naval branch on the island to collect his reward.

"Niu Bi, it really is him!" the naval officer in charge of receiving Yi Shuihan exclaimed in surprise. He had checked the bounty list several times before finally confirming that this Niu Bi was indeed Niu Bi.

Yi Shuihan was extremely pleased with his ability to capture Niu Bi alive, as capturing Niu Bi alive demonstrated Yi Shuihan's strength.

Amidst the farewells of the navy, Yi Shuihan left the naval branch with a large bounty, and afterwards he completely abandoned Niu Bi's fate.

With the money, he naturally made a purchase, then inquired about how to get to Loguetown, and also because he didn't want to sail alone at sea for months this time.

It must be said that Talia Island is very prosperous. The island has almost everything you need, and it is easy to find the supplies you need. It truly deserves to be called a trading island.

Yi Shuihan finished preparations in just one day, and spent most of the money he had, but it was still worth it.

Chapter 11, Winning in Youth

Loguetown, known as the town of beginning and end, holds a very delicate position in the world of One Piece. Almost every pirate knows about this place.

Pirates with any ambition will usually come to Loguetown to see the place where the Pirate King was executed, and pay their respects.

Of course, that's a matter for the future. At least for now, the Great Pirate Era hasn't been completely ignited by Gol D. Roger's last words before his death.

On a ship similar to the Going Merry in the original novel, Yi Shuihan was lying on a newly purchased recliner that was said to be made from the Tree of Omniscience and had a calming effect, and that long-term use could also improve wisdom.

Next to it was a small white round table with a cup of filled black tea and some snacks on it. Most importantly, a pretty girl dressed in a maid outfit was gently fanning him.

This scene clearly shows how much he was enjoying himself; he could never have experienced such a thing in the world before Yi Shuihan.

"Sigh, when will this decadent life end!" Yi Shuihan sighed, shaking his head as if he were very disdainful, but the contented look on his face betrayed his true feelings; he was clearly enjoying himself.

To be honest, Yi Shuihan hadn't expected things to turn out this way before. On Talia Island, he originally just wanted to find a chef who could cook and a navigator who could sail. He initially planned to hire them.

But in the end, they discovered a special kind of goods: slaves. Yes, it was the heinous human trafficking. Although Yi Shuihan didn't approve of this trade, he had no intention of liberating the slaves. He wasn't a savior; he couldn't possibly manage all the affairs of the world.

So he shamefully made the decision to become a slave owner, selling a seemingly nice maid, a middle-aged navigator who was said to be very experienced, and a chef who was good at cooking and looked very appealing.

The three people alone cost him 5 million, while the other expenses, including the ship and supplies, cost another 5 million, completely depleting the money he received from the naval branch.

Of course, even if he had to do it all over again, Yi Shuihan would still make the same decision. Money is not a problem for him now; with his strength, he can acquire it with ease.

If you have money but don't make yourself comfortable, what's the point of having money? Money only shows its value when it's used to its fullest potential. As the saying goes, "Money itself has no value; it is through transactions that money gains value."

It must be said that Yi Shuihan was quite lucky this time. He didn't encounter any shipwrecks or foolish pirates and arrived at his destination, Loguetown, smoothly.

"There are still a few days until the execution! What should I do?" After leaving the others to watch the boat, Yi Shuihan walked aimlessly down the main street of Rogge Town.

Unlike the later prosperity of Loguetown, the current Loguetown is merely decent, not even as prosperous as the former Talia Island.

Perhaps because of Gol D. Roger's affair, Loguetown is now overcrowded with people from all walks of life, and this large influx of people makes up for its shortcomings.

The Navy took this public beheading very seriously. Soldiers in uniform could be seen passing by on the streets from time to time. Judging from their demeanor, they were clearly true elites. If they were out in the open, one of them could easily take on several ordinary pirates.

Of course, the world is not entirely under the control of the Navy, especially at this time. The pirates are still quite tough. Although they haven't openly defied the Navy, it would be a complete lie to say that they are afraid of the Navy.

Even with the Navy in front of them, the pirates did not lower their voices; in fact, they deliberately raised them a few decibels, though without any obvious provocation.

"There are so many strong people!" Although it wasn't intentional, Yi Shuihan had encountered many strong people along the way, the kind of strong people who could really fight him, and there were even a few he felt completely uncertain about.

How do you determine if someone is a strong person? Yi Shuihan himself didn't believe it before, but now he has to admit that powerful beings do have a special aura, and this special aura can be sensed by people with a certain level of strength, as long as it can not be hidden.

As they passed an intersection, Yi Shuihan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked in a certain direction.

It was a boy with short black hair, carrying a greatsword on his back, and eyes like an eagle. Opposite him was a white-haired boy with a pipe in his mouth, looking somewhat out of place. They seemed to be in a standoff.

Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk, one of the future Seven Warlords of the Sea, is known as the "World's Greatest Swordsman"; Smoker, the user of the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit, is not top-tier in strength, but he is not bad either.

Although they were from their teenage years, Yi Shuihan recognized them at a glance.

"You're pretty strong. How about it? Want to join me?" The smoker said casually, giving off a nonchalant vibe, if you ignored the chilling aura emanating from him.

Hawkeye's expression didn't change at all. He glanced at the smoker briefly, then slowly said, "My sword will not yield to anyone."

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but when Hawkeye speaks, he gives the impression of a sharp, pointed sword.

Not getting the answer he wanted, the smoker didn't seem to care, as if he had expected it. He just casually said, "I hope you don't go down the wrong path."

The two then parted ways, and the large-scale battle that Yi Shuihan had hoped for did not occur.

Yi Shuihan was quite interested in Hawkeye, though it was just curiosity.

Yi Shuihan walked quickly to Hawkeye and stared at him without saying a word.

A minute later, Hawkeye's expression subtly changed. "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

"Know each other? Of course, even if it's only one-sided, doesn't that count?" Yi Shuihan said with a light laugh.

"Ding, the scenario meets the requirements, system task issued:"

Chapter 12, The First Extraordinary Skill

Yi Shuihan's words made Eagle Eye's eyes narrow slightly, but he didn't make any extra moves. After all, Yi Shuihan hadn't shown any hostility yet, and their current position didn't allow him to be too casual, as there were many powerful people gathered around them.

Originally, Yi Shuihan intended to say goodbye and leave, but since he had a mission, things were different.

Wasn't his purpose in going to sea to cultivate his spiritual power?

"How about we fight a battle?"

"Why?" Hawkeye looked at Yi Shuihan with some confusion. He clearly had no fighting spirit before, so how could he suddenly unleash such a powerful fighting spirit after a moment of stunned silence?

Yi Shuihan's moment of distraction when he heard the system notification was naturally noticed by Eagle Eye, who was standing right next to him.

"Follow me!" Without saying much, Yi Shuihan turned and left, as if he wasn't worried that Hawkeye wouldn't follow.

And indeed, Hawkeye hesitated only for a moment before following behind Yi Shuihan. If it were the previous Yan Nan, he would never have followed, but Yi Shuihan was different. From the aura that Yi Shuihan had exuded before, he could sense that Yi Shuihan was clearly a master swordsman.

Hawkeye, who aims to become the number one swordsman, will not be afraid of challenges from sword masters. He himself has also been inspired to fight by Yi Shuihan.

In a desolate place, two people stood facing each other.

"A wooden sword?" Hawkeye was surprised because he hadn't noticed that Yi Shuihan's sword was wooden. However, he didn't let his guard down; instead, his expression became more serious.

Seeing Hawkeye's reaction, Yi Shuihan had to admit that some people's success was quite natural, and this kind of mindset was very helpful on the road to success.

Clearing his mind of unnecessary thoughts, Yi Shuihan became serious. He believed that defeating Hawkeye shouldn't be difficult, but it would be bad if he accidentally stumbled and failed. The punishment for this mission would be severe!

He wasn't yet the Hawkeye he would become, and at this moment, he wasn't very composed and made the first move.

The two figures quickly clashed. Both Hawkeye and Yi Shuihan were quite strong, and the difference in strength was not too great, so for a time the fight was evenly matched.

As they fought back and forth, Hawkeye and Yi Shuihan's battle speed increased, and their bursts of power gradually intensified.

Improving during combat? If there were an observer at this time, they would be amazed to find that the two's combat skills were constantly improving with each battle, and they basically wouldn't repeat the same mistake they made.

Yi Shuihan became more and more excited as the fight progressed, gradually becoming completely absorbed in the game, feeling his strength constantly increasing, a feeling of pleasure that was indescribable to outsiders.

No wonder those strong people love to fight. Only through fighting can they quickly improve their strength, especially when the strength of two people is not much different.

"Overlord Slash!" Eagle Eye suddenly shouted, his aura rising sharply as he unleashed his skill.

It was at least three times the power of his normal attack. Yi Shuihan instantly realized that this attack was extraordinary and dared not be careless.

With a thought, Yi Shuihan made a decision and burst out with a speed several times faster than Eagle Eye to escape Eagle Eye's attack range.

Flash is an attack skill, but when not attacking, its burst speed is even faster than when attacking, making it very suitable for escaping.

As for why Yi Shuihan didn't directly use Instant Flash to meet the attack head-on, it's entirely because he had already judged that doing so would inevitably result in mutual destruction.

After all, Hawkeye's speed was not slow at the time, and Yi Shuihan was not confident that he could avoid injury. If it were a life-or-death battle, then it would be fine to exchange injury for life, but this was just a normal sparring match, and Yi Shuihan did not want Hawkeye, who shone so brightly in the original work, to die like this.

Hawkeye, who had unleashed a powerful attack, was clearly a little out of breath and his stamina was waning, but his eyes had become even sharper.

"You're strong? I'm not as good as you right now." Thinking of Yi Shuihan's amazing speed, Hawkeye admitted that he couldn't compare. With his eyesight, he could see the terrifying power of Yi Shuihan without even using his moves. He was somewhat grateful that Yi Shuihan had retreated instead of attacking at that time.
