That white light was actually the energy of heaven and earth gathered by Yi Shuihan. It looked real, but it didn't have the effect it was supposed to have. It was just to fool Yizak.
"Alright, if you have nothing else to do, go ahead!" Before Yizak could react, Yi Shuihan vanished.
"Hoo," Yzak looked at the wreckage on the ground, exhaled a breath of stale air, his expression changed for a moment, and then he left in one direction.
Back at the spot where they had pitched their tent, they found that Eileen had cleaned up the bloodstains around them a bit, making the area look less disgusting.
Nodding in satisfaction, he took the tent out again, called to Eileen, and went back to sleep. Yi Shuihan was in a good mood, especially thinking about completing the mission tomorrow, and quickly fell asleep.
Eileen wanted to ask what happened next, but seeing Yi Shuihan's expression, she could only swallow her words.
Chapter 120, The Power of One Man
The next day, after waking up and enjoying breakfast, Yi Shuihan did not leave as usual. Instead, he took out a recliner and a chessboard and started playing chess with Eileen.
Although puzzled by Yi Shuihan's actions, Eileen found it to be a good thing, so she played along without any qualms. Compared to rushing on the road, this leisurely play was a kind of enjoyment.
The game they were playing wasn't chess, military chess, Gomoku, or any other board game, let alone Ludo. It was a unique game called Pirate Chess, specific to this world.
Pirate Chess is a game where the goal is to find the ultimate treasure. Each player has eight pieces: Captain, First Mate, Battle Captain, Navigator, Cook, Musician, Historian, and Doctor. The rules are as follows: each turn, a player has one chance to designate a character to move. The number of moves is determined by rolling dice. Along the way, there will be a series of traps or special effects, which have different branches depending on the character.
To win, you need to bring all the characters to the finish line.
The rules seem simple, but they're actually quite fun. Yi Shuihan and Eileen are having a lot of fun with them.
"Hurry up! It's just rolling a die, you don't need to wait this long!" Eileen looked at Yi Shuihan speechlessly, knowing full well that Yi Shuihan didn't want to admit defeat.
At this point, Eileen already had 7 characters reach the finish line, and the last character was just a little short of reaching the finish line. Maybe she would win next time. On the other hand, Yi Shuihan still had 3 characters that had not reached the finish line. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like she was going to lose.
"What do you know?" Yi Shuihan said, as if you knew nothing. "I'm communicating with the god of luck. I'll succeed in a little while."
Holy crap, I've already lost 7 games in a row. If I lose again in this game, it'll be absolutely awful. Is my luck really that bad, or is her luck just too incredible?
Eileen watched Yi Shuihan's desperate struggle with amusement in her eyes. She stopped urging him and just stared at him, making Yi Shuihan feel embarrassed.
"Alright." Unable to bear the gaze any longer, Yi Shuihan finally threw the dice, and the pattern on the dot made Eileen laugh.
“Now it’s my turn.” Eileen picked up the dice and threw them without hesitation.
"Yay, it's three o'clock!" Eileen exclaimed with delight, because the last character was only three steps away from the finish line.
He lost! Yi Shuihan covered his face with his hands, feeling incredibly embarrassed!
"Shall we continue?" Eileen rearranged the pieces.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan stood up and smiled, "Finally here."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded, and a black dot could be seen in the distance, followed by a group of black dots. The black dots grew larger at an extremely fast speed, and human shapes could be seen.
With Yi Shuihan's keen eyesight, it was clear that the leader was none other than Yizak. At this moment, he was filled with excitement, his eyes blazing with fervor, as if he had discovered some incredible treasure when he saw Yi Shuihan.
"Brothers, charge! The spots to leave the valley are right in front of us. Whoever gets one gets it."
"This spot is mine, nobody can take it from me."
"Idiot, we're robbing you."
A dense crowd, their eyes bloodshot, surged toward Yi Shuihan as if they were on stimulants; the scene was nearly out of control.
Upon seeing this, Eileen was so frightened that she hid behind Yi Shuihan, while Yi Shuihan was completely unaware that he was about to be ganged up on.
"He really is a talent!" Eileen didn't know that Yi Shuihan was praising Yizak, but hearing Yi Shuihan's unmoved voice, she felt at ease.
A wooden sword appeared silently in Yi Shuihan's hand, and a chilling sword aura began to emanate from it.
"Explosive"
"Crescent Moon Celestial"
It was certainly not Ichigo Kurosaki's signature move, Getsuga Tenshou; Yi Shuihan had simply called out a name casually.
A curved sword aura, over a hundred meters wide, tore through the air and hurtled straight toward the crowd.
Its power is in no way inferior to the original Crescent Moon Sky Slash!
Those who charged ahead were still running when they were swept away by the sword energy. Moments later, their upper and lower bodies separated, with their upper bodies remaining in one place while their feet continued to run.
"Ah!" A scream rang out as intestines and internal organs flowed out from the large hole in his waist, turning the place into a living hell in an instant.
"Ugh!" Eileen immediately vomited right there beside her; it was just too disgusting.
This attack wiped out nearly half of the crowd; several hundred people died from this terrifying blow.
Those who weren't caught in the crossfire stared blankly at the scene before them, then their fervor vanished. After glancing at Yi Shuihan, they ran away like madmen.
The people behind didn't know what was happening ahead and kept running forward, and then tragedy struck—a stampede occurred.
"What?"
"You stepped on my foot."
"my waist!"
"My kidneys!"
At a spot swept by the sword energy, beneath a corpse, a wriggle stirred, and then a hand reached out.
Yzak's face was filled with fear, and he was still terrified. He had been scared to death just now. When the sword energy arrived, he even felt that his mind was frozen. If he hadn't known Yi Shuihan's strength and hadn't been prepared to retreat at any time, and if he had instinctively fallen to the ground the moment he saw the sword energy, he would probably be split in two and become a corpse by now.
Seeing some people not quite dead yet, desperately stuffing their internal organs back into their bodies, not far away, Yitzhak felt a chill run down his spine, his stomach churned, and he felt like vomiting.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, Yizak quickly ran towards Yi Shuihan.
"Look at that guy, I admire him, he's actually going to fight the demons." Some of the people who saw Yzak's actions showed admiration, and some even had an urge to follow him.
But before they could make a decision, they witnessed a scene that shocked them.
Yzak actually knelt down 50 meters from the demon, then slid all the way to the demon's front. There was no fighting after that. The demon smiled at Yzak and said something. Yzak nodded frantically, then stood up and walked behind Yi Shuihan, looking like a lackey.
"This..." The unexpected scene left everyone dumbfounded, their minds racing. After they came to their senses, they started cursing, but their cursing was a bit strange.
"shameless."
"To this act of defecting to the enemy on the front lines, I just want to say: Take me with you."
"Faced with such a demon that everyone should kill, to actually grovel so humbly in exchange for one's life... why didn't I think of this method?!"
Chapter 121, Stealing Akainu's Head
Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't let the heads delivered to his door escape. Besides, everyone in the Valley of Life and Death has several lives on their hands. In this special environment, good people basically can't survive.
Their purpose in coming here was naturally to obtain Yi Shuihan's head, so Yi Shuihan could have killed them without any remorse.
The crowd was completely terrified by Yi Shuihan's earth-shattering sword strike and dared not resist at all. They only cared about escaping, revealing their selfish and self-serving nature.
There's a saying that goes, "When you're in danger, you don't need to run fast, you just need to be faster than your companions."
To increase their chances of escape, these people from the Valley of Life and Death showed no mercy, since it was only a temporary alliance after all.
Many people were framed without realizing it, and after being injured, their speed was greatly reduced, and they were instantly killed by Yi Shuihan in despair.
However, they ultimately underestimated Yi Shuihan. While killing people, Yi Shuihan's speed hardly decreased, and those who were used to buy time were completely useless.
"Phew, my hands are a little sore from killing so many people." After killing the last person, Yi Shuihan showed a tired expression. His body was not tired, but his mind was tired. Repeating the same actions over and over again had even made him aesthetically fatigued.
"gollum"
Yzak's gaze towards Yi Shuihan shifted repeatedly, his throat going dry. He had brought so many people, yet they hadn't caused Yi Shuihan any harm. Fortunately, he had made the right decision; otherwise, he would definitely have died at the hands of this great demon.
Not to mention Yizak, even Eileen looked at Yi Shuihan with immense fear. Thousands of people had been slaughtered like this, and judging from Yi Shuihan's manner, killing these people was as easy as killing chickens, without any feeling at all. It was truly chilling!
Yi Shuihan also noticed Eileen and Yzak's expressions. Yzak didn't seem to mind, but Eileen's gaze made him feel a little uncomfortable. After all, in his eyes, Eileen and he were already friends. The people he killed were all there to kill him. If others wanted to kill him, why shouldn't he kill others?
Eileen's standing in Yi Shuihan's heart dropped considerably, a fact she was unaware of.
"The elimination rounds are over, what's next?" Just as he was thinking about this, a burst of fire suddenly shot into the sky in the distance, followed by a violent earthquake.
"That's... magma?" Sakazuki? Who is he fighting?
Alright, I don't need to think about it myself anymore. I'll just find an opportunity to see if I can kill Sakazuki.
"The Great Spitfire"
A giant fist made of magma scorched everything and crashed unstoppably into a huge figure whose entire body was covered in bones.
The temperature of magma is nearly a thousand degrees, enough to melt even steel instantly, let alone bone. Yet when the giant fist slammed into the bone, the bone was completely undamaged.
"Armament Haki?" Sakazuki stared at the black bones with a grim expression.
The person surrounded by bones is naturally the Bone Demon, one of the Five Demons. Compared to the other Five Demons, the Bone Demon is relatively easy to find because the place where he is located is completely covered with bones. His combat power will be greatly increased here, so he usually does not move.
"Damn evil, it shouldn't exist in this world." Sakazuki began to change from his upper body, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a humanoid magma body.
Lava dripped onto the bones on the ground, making a sizzling sound as the bones melted away as if being corroded.
Meteor Volcano
With a roar, countless fiery fists were unleashed as if they were free, crashing into the ground and causing the earth to shake violently, like a natural disaster.
The destructive power of the natural system was displayed to the fullest extent. In just a short while, the valley, which was originally a forest of bones, was almost completely devoid of intact bones, with only a few bone fragments remaining.
Sakazuki's actions drove the Bone Demon completely mad. After letting out a roar that was not human, countless bones grew out of the Bone Demon's body like a hedgehog, instantly covering it completely. The slender bones were incredibly sharp at the front, like javelins.
"shhhhhh"
The bones shot towards Sakazuki like bullets, and relentlessly at that. It was as if the bones on the Bone Demon's body were endless; they shot out and then grew back.
A large cloud of dust rose around Sakazuki from the impact of the bones, each bone possessing the power of a cannonball, creating an astonishing spectacle.
It took a full three minutes for the Bone Demon to stop moving. When the smoke cleared, a large hole, several hundred meters in diameter, appeared where Sakazuki had been standing. The hole was dark and bottomless.
Did Sakazuki just die like that?
No, that wasn't it. A red light appeared from the blackness, and gradually the light grew brighter and brighter. Sakazuki flew out of the cave. At this time, he was still in magma form, but there were several bones stuck in his body, making him look very disheveled.
With a wriggling motion, the bones gradually melted and eventually burned away in the air.
Having regained his human form, several bloody holes appeared on Sakazuki's body. Those bones were no ordinary bones; they were bones imbued with Armament Haki, enough to injure the elementalized Sakazuki.
The Bone Demon's aura had diminished considerably after shooting out so many bones, indicating that he had expended a great deal of energy.
"You actually injured me, die! Dog bites the Crimson Lotus!" Sakazuki's arm suddenly turned into magma, then transformed into a giant dog, roaring as it charged towards the Bone Demon.
The Bone Demon remained motionless, clearly powerless to stop anything.
Sakazuki already had a victorious smile on his face, but the next moment...
"what?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared in front of the giant lava hound, and with a wave of its hand, the giant lava hound vanished.
Yi Shuihan looked at Sakazuki with a smile, "You're such a good person! You've gone to such lengths to help me. Well, now you're done, this head is mine."
Sakazuki was so angry at Yi Shuihan's words that his face turned pale. He stared at Yi Shuihan with wide eyes, pointing at him for a long time without being able to speak.
Chapter 122, Killing Akainu
"Yi Shuihan, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? It means exactly what it says! You can't even understand what I'm saying? No way, I think your IQ is over 7!"
It's impossible for Sakazuki not to be angry at Yi Shuihan's obvious overcharging, but he also knows that he is not in good condition right now. The battle with the Bone Demon may seem short, but he had actually given it his all. Although he won in the end, he was also injured.
If he were at his peak, Sakazuki wouldn't be afraid of Yi Shuihan. But now, he knows he can't do anything to Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan easily shattered his ultimate move, which makes him wary of Yi Shuihan.
Sakazuki was no kind person, and he was very unwilling to leave like this, but he had no choice but to stand there in a daze.
Ignoring Sakazuki's changing expression, Yi Shuihan turned around, walked up to the Bone Demon, and with a flash of sword light, the Bone Demon's head flew off.
After the Bone Demon died, all the bones on his body disappeared, leaving behind an extremely old face. His physique was also just average, indicating that he was not a master of physical combat.
With a wave of his hand, the Bone Demon's head disappeared, and Sakazuki, who had been watching from the sidelines, looked at Yi Shuihan in horror. The scene of the head suddenly disappearing was truly frightening.
How did they manage that? Was it a space-time Devil Fruit ability?
Knowing that Yi Shuihan possessed spatial abilities, Sakazuki was even more hesitant to make a move.
"I will report this to the Marshal." With that cold remark, Sakazuki decided to accept his defeat and leave.
Just after Sakazuki turned around, Yi Shuihan reappeared in front of him, blocking his way.
Sakazuki's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Yi Shuihan warily. "What do you mean? Do you still want to keep me here?"
Yi Shuihan chuckled and looked at Sakazuki with a very strange gaze, making Sakazuki feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Are you stupid? Can't you see how obvious it is?"
"Yi Shuihan, how dare you! I am a candidate admiral from the Navy Headquarters. Are you betraying the Navy? If you step aside immediately, I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, once I get out, I will tell the Fleet Admiral about this, and you can expect to be surrounded and annihilated by the Navy!"
