To be honest, his strength is above Magellan's, but he didn't get enough training in prison and suffered from long-term malnutrition, so his strength has declined significantly. He can barely be considered an admiral now. Of course, no one knows what would happen if he were to unleash his full power.
Xiao Ke doesn't possess a Devil Fruit; he relies on Haki and physical skills. He has no special abilities, but also no weaknesses.
Another observer was Shaw's younger brother, Nadal Minjie, who also followed a domineering style combined with physical skills, and was only slightly weaker than his brother.
Neither of them were Devil Fruit users. It was only because the Seastone that bound Devil Fruit users, Golden Lion, was helpless. After all, even he had to break free at the cost of losing both of his legs.
"Someone's here. Oh, it's a young navy officer. Judging by his uniform, he's a rear admiral!"
"A mere major general dares to come here? Don't get scared out of your wits."
"Hahaha!"
Someone spotted Yi Shuihan, who had just arrived, and recognized him as only a major general. They immediately became disdainful, glaring at Yi Shuihan with fierce eyes, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.
"Warden Magellan, headquarters sent me to provide support," Yi Shuihan said loudly to Magellan, who was still fighting, completely ignoring the menacing criminals around them.
There's no need to worry about a group of tigers locked in cages; even if they were released, who knows who the prey would be!
"Which general is leading this team? Quickly, send him to provide support," Magellan said in a moment of pause, assuming that Yi Shuihan was merely a general's subordinate.
Magellan's tone was cold, and he did not treat Yi Shuihan as an equal.
Yi Shuihan didn't make a move, which surprised Magellan, who almost got attacked.
Why aren't you going yet?
"There are no generals leading the team, only major generals."
"The one leading the team is a major general???"
"As you can see, it's me."
Chapter 35, Violent Qi on Blood Body
"Hahaha! Did you hear that? The navy has really declined. They don't even have an admiral to lead the team, only a rear admiral, and he's just a little kid!"
"Damn it, does the Navy really underestimate us? Do they think a mere rear admiral can suppress us?"
The criminals reacted in various ways, some mocking and others angry.
Magellan reacted even more strongly, retreating directly in front of Yi Shuihan, thus ending the fight.
"What did you say? Don't joke around."
"I'm not joking! Besides, having me is enough, isn't it?"
Magellan stared intently at Yi Shuihan, then finally smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this place to you."
“Okay!” Yi Shuihan agreed immediately, a reaction that surprised Magellan and made him even angrier, determined to leave him to die later.
Ignoring Magellan's somewhat dark expression, Yi Shuihan slowly walked forward, his aura increasing with each step.
Major General, Lieutenant General, and by the time they stand still, they are already at the level of General.
The criminals, who had initially looked down on Yi Shuihan, and Magellan, were now completely dumbfounded, staring at Yi Shuihan's figure in disbelief.
"Gulp" A sound of spitting out saliva. "Are you kidding me? Or am I dreaming? This is a major general? Could it be some old monster in disguise?!"
"Mr. Criminal, do you want to go back to where you were before, or do you want to resist?" A calm voice sounded, and Yi Shuihan stretched his body.
Xiao Ke noticed that Yi Shuihan's expression had become much more serious, and Mingjie, who was standing next to him, also walked over and assumed a stance ready to take action at any moment.
Mingjie didn't make a move before, partly because Xiao Ke didn't want to gang up on the weak, but also because he was wary of Magellan's poison, which was too advantageous in such a confined space.
"It seems you won't agree," Yi Shuihan said with a smile, but it gave off a chilling feeling. "Then come at me all at once!"
Just as Yi Shuihan uttered those words, a notification sounded in her mind, making her even happier.
"Come at me all at once? You think too highly of yourself. My brother told me to deal with him." Mingjie was enraged by Yi Shuihan's words, and Xiao Ke didn't stop his brother, which was considered tacit agreement. Not only did he not want to gang up on him, but Magellan was still watching him from the sidelines!
"Hey! What are you doing?" Yi Shuihan suddenly put down the sword in his hand, making Mingjie think that he was looking down on him.
Yi Shuihan didn't actually mean that. His strength wouldn't be diminished even without a sword. He just wanted a hand-to-hand combat.
"Arrogant brat," Magellan sneered from the side.
Yi Shuihan offered no explanation, but instead chose to strike first; he couldn't wait for the battle to begin.
"Iron Shave" took countless steps on the ground in an instant, disappearing from everyone's sight, and no one noticed the metallic luster emanating from his body.
"Wow, that's fast, it's Rokushiki." As the Navy's signature technique, it was naturally recognized.
Mingjie was also startled by the speed Yi Shuihan displayed, but as a veteran powerhouse who was proficient in Haki, he quickly caught sight of Yi Shuihan with his Observation Haki.
“Found it,” Mingjie said, throwing a punch at the right side of the room. Just as his fist landed, Yi Shuihan happened to be there.
"boom"
Mingjie felt the impact on his hand, but before he could even feel joy, his expression changed drastically. "Oh no!"
He pushed off with his right foot, took several steps back, and trickles of blood fell from his hand.
"Iron Body! But how is that possible? His switching speed is so fast that even I can't detect it." Mingjie is also very familiar with the Six Styles of the Navy and knows that only one style can be used at a time. However, he grabbed it at the perfect time, and the opponent's Shave skill hadn't even finished yet, so there was no time to switch styles.
Most importantly, he was too confident and didn't use Armament Haki to strengthen his fist, so it was a tragedy when he hit Yi Shuihan's extraordinary iron block.
Not only Mingjie himself, but also the people around him narrowed their eyes, equally unsure when Yi Shuihan had changed.
Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't explain, and charged forward again, using very ordinary moves, but each time he used them very skillfully.
The two began a dazzling clash, and Mingjie also began to show his strength. His Armament Haki had undoubtedly reached its peak, even approaching perfection.
Both arms and legs were completely covered, and it could also instantly cover other areas to enhance hardness. When the domineering aura that originally covered one arm gathered on the fist, the power it unleashed far exceeded that when it was dispersed.
In terms of the application of domineering aura, Yi Shuihan was indeed less agile than his opponent, but fortunately he made up for this gap in other aspects, and his speed was a few points faster than his opponent's.
"So that's how it is. This is how you use domineering aura to unleash its full power." During the battle, Yi Shuihan continuously refined his combat skills and improved them.
At first, he needed to rely on speed to suppress his opponent, but gradually his speed decreased, and eventually he was on par with Mingjie.
It's not that he can't handle high speeds, but rather that his mastery of combat and his use of domineering aura mean he no longer needs to rely on speed to suppress his opponent.
"What a monster, he's getting stronger and stronger." The changes in Yi Shuihan were so drastic that the others could naturally see it too.
"Where did headquarters find such a monster? His strength is probably no less than mine," Magellan thought to himself, regretting his previous attitude.
Fortunately, things didn't get too tense. We'll have to try to salvage the situation later, because we might end up working under him in the future.
Yi Shuihan was naturally unaware of Magellan's thoughts. He was now fully engaged in the battle, and had pushed his strength to the limit, except for a few trump cards that he hadn't used.
"If this continues, we're bound to lose." Feeling himself being gradually suppressed, Mingjie was also getting angry, especially since he was being suppressed by a brat like Yi Shuihan.
"You forced me to do this, Blood Mode activated." Mingjie's skin suddenly turned blood red at a visible speed, not only that, his eyes also began to become bloodshot, and then white steam began to rise from his body.
It looks like Luffy's Gear Activation! This thought popped into Yi Shuihan's mind, and he knew that the other party had unleashed a powerful attack.
With his Blood Body Mode activated, Mingjie's speed and strength increased several times over, and Yi Shuihan was accidentally kicked away.
"This kid is doomed to lose now. Even I can't stop him in this state. I can only wait for him to run out of energy," Xiao Ke said with certainty. In his opinion, the strength that Yi Shuihan had shown before was probably the limit. He really couldn't imagine that the opponent could have any stronger power.
"Burst!" A deep shout rang out, and a layer of white light appeared around Yi Shuihan's body, making him look incredibly holy. At the same time, his aura surged again, subtly overshadowing Mingjie.
"impossible!"
Chapter 36, Powerful Defense
"Nothing is impossible! Now let's see who is stronger." In his berserk state, Yi Shuihan exuded a violent aura, like a powder keg ready to explode.
"He really has a lot of trump cards!" Magellan felt an even greater weight on Yi Shuihan's shoulders. He had thought he had the upper hand based on the strength Yi Shuihan had just displayed, but now he didn't even dare to say that he could defeat him.
The white voice and the red figure transformed into two beams of light and collided once more. Each collision made the surrounding air even hotter, and in a short moment, the temperature around them rose by more than ten degrees due to their battle.
Fortunately, the people here are not ordinary, so this slight change in temperature won't affect them.
"Your opponent is me."
Seeing Magellan blocking his way, Xiao Ke's face darkened. He had planned to secretly help his brother since he knew he was about to lose, but Magellan appeared as soon as he made a move.
Although Xiao Ke wasn't particularly clever, he wasn't stupid either. He knew that if he couldn't get rid of Yi Shuihan and let Yi Shuihan and Magellan join forces, he would definitely not be able to escape. For the sake of freedom, it wasn't impossible for him to give up a little pride and join forces to deal with a kid.
But in the end, he still failed. Magellan had already decided to repair his relationship with Yi Shuihan, so naturally he wouldn't sit idly by. Besides, this was his business after all.
"Let him come here!"
"What?" Magellan was taken aback, but Shaw smiled, realizing he was still too young.
"The two of them are a good test to see just how strong I really am," Yi Shuihan's voice rang out again.
If I can't defeat their combined attack, who will I ask for my mission reward from?
No one knew that Yi Shuihan had such considerations; they just thought he was too arrogant, or perhaps fearless.
"Did you hear that? He doesn't mind at all." Xiao Ke's tone was somewhat strange. He felt a slight appreciation for Yi Shuihan and wondered if he should only seriously injure Yi Shuihan instead of killing him.
Magellan's expression changed several times before he finally snorted coldly and stepped aside.
Fine, I'll save his life when he's in dire straits. That way, I'll gain a lot of favors.
"Haha, a dignified warden, actually listening to a little brat, you're getting worse and worse."
"Magellan, your rank in the Navy isn't very high! Why don't you join us pirates?"
"Yes, join us as pirates, and we'll guarantee you more freedom than the Navy."
The prisoners in the jail mocked and ridiculed Magellan, and they hated him so much that they didn't mind humiliating him whenever they had the chance.
A bunch of idiots. You'll see what happens after this is over. This little monster already has this much strength. It's only a matter of time before he becomes an admiral. He even has a chance to become a fleet admiral. If you don't befriend him now, you'll never have another chance.
Magellan's indifference eventually silenced the criminals.
"Big brother!" Mingjie's tone was somewhat low, clearly ashamed that he couldn't defeat Yi Shuihan and needed his older brother's help.
Xiao Ke gave Mingjie a reassuring look. "Let's finish this quickly. Magellan is no pushover."
As brothers, Xiao Ke and Ming Jie's teamwork is extraordinary; the combined power they can unleash is definitely not ordinary.
As soon as they started fighting, Yi Shuihan felt the pressure. Although he had an absolute advantage against either of them individually, their combined strength made him flustered and gradually put him at a disadvantage.
The constant "bangs" hitting his body made Yi Shuihan feel pain all over his body, but they were all just external injuries.
At first, the two brothers thought that Yi Shuihan would soon be unable to hold on, since most of their attacks landed on Yi Shuihan and they only suffered very little counterattack.
However, after a while, their expressions changed, because apart from his breathing being slightly erratic, Yi Shuihan had not changed at all; in fact, his strength and speed had not decreased.
"Damn it, what kind of body does he have that he can withstand so many attacks? Even steel would have been broken long ago."
The two brothers' attacks had no effect for a long time, so they naturally became impatient.
A smile appeared in Yi Shuihan's eyes. His own defense was naturally not that strong, but there was still a layer of iron beneath his domineering aura.
Normally, the iron block wouldn't be able to move it, but his sheer power allows him to achieve this effect.
With double protection, plus the fact that he was already in a berserk state, his defense was enhanced to the extreme. Even if he stood still and let them hit him, as long as his berserk state didn't end, he would at most be hit a little hard, but no real damage would be possible.
Yi Shuihan's strength exceeded everyone's expectations, and Magellan once again increased his attention to him, while the criminals watching the battle fell silent.
Such a monster is actually a Marine. Who among the pirates will be able to rival him in the future? Even Roger's talent was far superior to his.
“He’s using the Xiao brothers as a whetstone,” an elderly criminal suddenly said, his voice filled with emotion.
“But he does have that kind of strength, doesn’t he?” Magellan said with a smile, a smile that would never be believed by anyone who knew him well, as they would never believe that the warden in their eyes could actually smile.
Time passed gradually, and half an hour later,
The Xiao brothers were exhausted by this point, not only physically but, more importantly, mentally. Anyone would feel tired facing an enemy they couldn't defeat.
"Not many left." Yi Shuihan shouted, suddenly unleashing a powerful force, instantly seizing an opening in Xiao Ke's defenses and pointing out with his index finger.
"Seven Stars of Finger Pistols"
With a "whoosh," seven holes appeared on Xiao Ke's body, which, when arranged, formed the Big Dipper.
"Big brother!" Mingjie was furious, but there was nothing he could do. The two of them were no match for him, let alone one person.
"Ah-da!" Yi Shuihan roared, his fist transforming into countless afterimages, firing at Mingjie like a machine gun. "Hit, hit, hit, hit..."
At this moment, Yi Shuihan is transformed into Bruce Lee, and Kenshiro is reborn...
Yi Shuihan's fists are not like Luffy's machine guns. Not only is the power and speed precise, but even the landing point is calculated precisely. Each punch, in a specific position, is enough to make someone freeze for a moment. And in that moment, he throws another punch, continuously striking the opponent so hard that they can't even move.
"What kind of punch is that!" Jemin was still standing in the same spot, but blood was already gushing from his body, making him look like a blood-soaked figure.
"Well, who knows? Give me back my Pretty Punch! A regular series of punches? Or..."
The sound became barely audible towards the end.
