"I'll give you a chance to leave now, or you won't be leaving at all. I happen to be enjoying some fresh human flesh lately." The dragon said, revealing its serrated teeth, which clicked together.

Arlong wasn't afraid of Zoro and his crew, after all, he came from the New World and didn't believe there were any strong people in the East Blue. The reason he planned to let Zoro and his crew go was because he didn't want to expose his own strength.

Isn't there a demon with imps? Where is he?

The evil dragon scanned the surroundings, but did not find Yi Shuihan, and was somewhat puzzled.

"Zoro, let's see who kills more," Kuina suggested to Zoro, ignoring Arlong's words.

Zoro's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Fishmen, I want your heads. Stay put and wait for me to come and get them."

This blatant provocation instantly enraged the fishmen, who, without Zoro saying a word, roared and charged towards them.

The fish-men are very strong, much stronger than ordinary pirates, especially some of their officers, who are even comparable to the captains of ordinary pirate crews.

However, Zoro and his crew were much stronger. With their swords in hand, they felt invincible. They easily cut down several fishmen in a single exchange.

Having just killed a fishman in front of him, another fishman wielding a fork lunged at him from behind. In the nick of time, Zoro didn't even turn his body; his sword, as if guided by eyes, thrust backward, ending the fishman with the fork. Then, without a second thought, he continued to slaughter the other fishmen.

There seemed to be fewer people around Kuina, who looked like a little girl, but there were still seven or eight of them. The sword in her hand seemed to transform into lightning, each strike faster than the last, like the wrath of thunder. Often, the enemy would be struck and killed before they could even react.

Seeing that his subordinates were at a disadvantage, the dragon's expression turned extremely ugly, and he exuded a murderous aura that caused the surrounding temperature to drop significantly.

The villagers watched with hope as Zoro and his companions displayed their incredible power, praying in their hearts that they would win and finally vanquish the evil dragon.

"Wow, big brother and big sister are so amazing." Nami and Nojiko had arrived outside the village without anyone noticing.

"What are you two doing out here? Go back right now!" Bellemere, their foster mother, scolded them, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"No, Bellemere, I want to see them beat up the bad guys," Nami pouted and said coquettishly.

Although Nojiko didn't say anything, it was clear from her expression that she didn't want to leave.

Just as Bellemere was about to use her maternal authority to force Nami and the others to go back and hide, her eyes widened in surprise as she noticed a strange man standing next to Nami.

Who is he? I know everyone in the village, there's definitely no one like him.

"Who are you?" he said, pulling Nami behind him and protecting her like an eagle protecting its chick.

"Huh? Who is he? I've never seen him before." Nami looked at the handsome older brother in front of her with her big eyes full of curiosity.

The young man who suddenly appeared was naturally Yi Shuihan. As Zoro and his companions' supervisor, he was naturally there to keep an eye on them. The reason he appeared next to Nami was simply because he liked the innocent and cute Nami at this moment. He had absolutely no intention of raising the little girl.

If Yi Shuihan initially had the idea of ​​taking in all the girls, his thoughts have changed over the years. He no longer wants to take any girl he likes into his household. So, when he met Nami, he was only approaching her out of affection.

With a slight smile, Yi Shuihan said to Bellemere, "Me? You can call me a demon."

"Demon??" This title, which was clearly not that of a good person, made Bellemere even more wary.

"That's right, the demon with the little devil, that demon refers to me."

A demon with a brat? Bellemere was stunned for a moment before realizing that the one fighting the fishman was the brat, and the one in front of her was with them.

Bellemere's gaze softened as she looked at Yi Shuihan, believing that Yi Shuihan had come to help them, since Zoro and the others were dealing with the fishmen.

"A demon? Isn't a demon a hideous villain with horns on its head, a height of 3 zhang, wings on its back, and an incredibly ugly creature? Big brother, you're lying! How could someone as beautiful as you be a demon?" Nami wasn't afraid of Yi Shuihan at all; instead, she acted as if he couldn't be fooled.

Yi Shuihan's lips twitched. Beautiful? This is handsome, okay!

"Alright, I am Yi Shuihan."

"That's more like it. But Yi Shuihan, what a strange name."

Just as Yi Shuihan was about to have a good talk with Nami, he heard a cry of surprise. He then realized that the evil dragon had joined the battle at some point and was launching a sneak attack, injuring Zoro's shoulder. Kuina was also hampered as a result, putting her in a very unfavorable situation.

"It looks like I'm about to make a move!" Yi Shuihan muttered to himself.

Nami, seeing Zoro and the others' predicament, also looked anxious, since they had come to help them. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she heard Yi Shuihan's words.

In two steps, he jumped in front of Yi Shuihan and tugged at Yi Shuihan's clothes.

"what?"

"Big brother, you must be really amazing, right?"

"of course."

"Then hurry up and save them, defeat the bad guys, and I'll give you a reward."

A reward? What the heck is that?

Under Nami's innocent gaze, Yi Shuihan made a decisive decision and took action; this was a perfect opportunity to show off.

Slowly, they walked out of the crowd and headed towards the battlefield.

"Who is he? Has he lost his mind? That's a vicious merman!"

"I don't know, I've never seen him before."

Yi Shuihan's strength was so formidable that even when he was right behind the evil dragon, the dragon did not notice him.

"What's wrong?" The dragon noticed that his men were all looking behind him and became puzzled.

What was behind me? He instinctively thought of a brick, but instead, he was met with two fingers.

"Ultimate move: Gouge out eyes."

"Ah!" A bloodcurdling scream rang out, and the evil dragon collapsed and rolled on the ground.

Chapter 108, Retiring Successfully

Yi Shuihan's sudden action left everyone dumbfounded. With a simple eye-poking move that even an ordinary person would know, he turned the evil dragon into that silly creature on the ground, making everyone feel like it was unreal.

That was Arlong, the leader of the Arlong Pirates, yet he was so easily defeated and knocked to the ground in such an unexpected way.

"Does it really hurt that much?" Looking at the still-writhing dragon, Yi Shuihan murmured to himself, staring at his hand.

"Who attacked me? Kill him!" The evil dragon covered its eyes and shouted loudly upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words.

Upon hearing the dragon's words, the fishmen immediately abandoned Zoro and his companions, deciding to deal with Yi Shuihan first.

"Are you facing us?" Kuina and Zoro stood in front of the fishmen, and without the dragon's restraint, they once again gained the upper hand.

Yi Shuihan nodded slightly upon seeing this, but did not take any further action, instead standing there quietly.

After a short while, the dragon finally recovered. Although its eyes were still sore, the pain was not a major concern.

"I'm going to eat you alive!" Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, who had injured his eyes, the evil dragon pounced, its mouth wide open as if it wanted to devour him.

As a sawtooth shark, the dragon's teeth are extremely hard and have a strong bite, capable of biting through ordinary iron. If it were a human, it could easily crush bones.

"Bite? What a beast." Yi Shuihan raised his right hand and slammed it down the moment the evil dragon got close.

With a loud bang, the dragon was struck directly on the back and crashed to the ground. The powerful impact shook the ground.

A mouthful of blood spurted from the dragon's mouth, and a huge fist mark was clearly visible on its back.

With just a simple blow, the dragon was essentially rendered powerless, a turn of events that shocked everyone.

"Impossible? Brother Evil Dragon, how could you lose to a human?"

"How can this human be so strong?"

The fish-men's eyes were filled with panic, and they involuntarily moved away from Yi Shuihan.

"Senior is indeed powerful?" Zoro complimented, but inwardly cursed him as a monster. That was an enemy that even he couldn't guarantee he could defeat, yet he couldn't even withstand a single blow, or rather, it didn't even qualify as a single blow.

"As expected of a senior?" While marveling at Yi Shuihan's strength, Kuina looked at the evil dragon on the ground with pity. Meeting a senior was probably the most unfortunate thing that had ever happened to him.

"Sigh, I didn't control my strength well. I only meant to use a fraction of my strength, but who told you to bite me? I hate being bitten the most." Yi Shuihan sighed, looking completely innocent.

This explanation is even more frightening; if this isn't even at full strength, just how powerful is the real force?

The fishmen were not unfamiliar with powerful figures, and having even lived in the New World, they were quite knowledgeable. But this was truly the first time they had encountered a formidable person like Yi Shuihan. The scene just now was truly shocking—simple, brutal, and incredibly domineering!

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yi Shuihan felt embarrassed and said to Zoro and Kuina with a stern face, "What are you all standing there for? Let's do it! Leave no fishmen alive."

It wasn't that Yi Shuihan was heartless; it was just that these fish-men were pirates, and they had more than one life on their hands, so there was no need to spare them.

The battle continued, but this time it was one-sided. Soon, the only surviving merman was the evil dragon S, whose fate was unknown on the ground.

"Aren't we going to kill him?" Zoro asked, pointing at the dragon, somewhat puzzled.

Yi Shuihan slapped Zoro on the head. "You still want to slack off? Your mission is the dragon. I'm the one who did the dirty work. Wait until he wakes up, then you can have another fight with him."

The poor dragon, I wonder what it will feel like when it wakes up and learns this cruel reality.

"Are we just going to wait for him like this?"

"if not?"

"You can wake him up by splashing water on him."

After a bucket of water was poured down, the dragon woke up from his coma. When he saw Yi Shuihan, his expression changed drastically as he recalled what had happened earlier. He tried to run away, but would Zoro and the others allow him to leave?

Another great battle ensued. First, Zoro and Arlong sparred one-on-one. After Zoro placed his sword against Arlong's neck, Kuina also began sparring with Arlong. Finally, after squeezing Arlong dry, she learned of his sinful life under his desperate gaze.

With the threat of the evil dragon gone, Cocoyasi Village had escaped a calamity and expressed their gratitude to Yi Shuihan and his group, preparing to hold a celebration. However, Yi Shuihan declined.

They left under the reluctant gazes of the villagers, especially Nami.

"They're all gone, don't bother looking anymore."

"I've made up my mind, I must go find him sometime."

After that, the demon duo with the little devil disappeared in the East Blue. Some say they went to the Grand Line, others say they died in some unknown corner, and still others believe they were just out for training and have now returned.

"I've become a swordsman! I've become a swordsman!" Zoro looked at the sword he had just broken, his excitement overflowing.

"I'm still a swordsman!" Kuina said dismissively, as if becoming a swordsman was nothing special. Little did she know that she was even more excited than Zoro when she became a swordsman a few days ago, and even cried.

Another month has passed since they returned. In this month, Kuina became a swordsman through her own enlightenment, and today Zoro has finally become a swordsman as well.

"Very good, the transaction is over, and I can leave with peace of mind." Yi Shuihan smiled, especially when he realized that Zoro's luck was more than enough to support him for one silver lottery draw.

After celebrating Zoro's breakthrough, Yi Shuihan left without saying goodbye the next day, leaving only a letter.

Zoro and Kuina were heartbroken over Yi Shuihan's departure, but they knew that Yi Shuihan couldn't stay by their side forever.

The two made up their minds to set sail together in a few years to find a master swordsman to challenge, and also to see Yi Shuihan again.

So where did Yi Shuihan go?

"Usopp's 4% luck combined with Zoro's is enough for me to draw the Silver Lottery twice. It's time to reap the rewards again." After leaving Zoro and the others, Yi Shuihan found the still young Usopp and obtained 4% of his luck in exchange for telling him about his father. It was quite easy.

That being said, both of them had 4% luck. The reason they stayed with Zoro for so long, besides not having much affection for Usopp, was for Kuina's sake, to prevent her accidental death. Now that he has intervened, Kuina's fate has been completely changed, and she will probably not give up on herself and die unexpectedly in the end.

Chapter 109, The General Elimination Tournament

"Gululu, gurulu..."

Just as Yi Shuihan was about to draw a prize, he was interrupted by a sudden sound. He looked and saw that it was the special Den Den Mushi that Zhan Guo had given him.

Why are you contacting me at this time? What could it be about?

He cleared his throat, picked up the Den Den Mushi, and connected the call.

"Hello, is this Yi Shuihan? This is Zhan Guo." The voice remained as authoritative as ever.

"Does Your Excellency have something to discuss?" Yi Shuihan went straight to the point.

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" With a hint of anger in his voice, Yi Shuihan could even picture Zhan Guo feigning anger on the other end of the phone.

Yi Shuihan pursed his lips, naturally not taking it seriously, but quickly added, "How could that be? Of course you can come to me if there's nothing wrong."

"Well, you're smart to know what's good for you. But something really has come up this time, so you need to come back right away. It's hard to explain over the phone."

"It's hard to explain over the phone? I think it's easy to explain!" With that thought in mind, Yi Shuihan quickly promised to return as soon as possible.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Yi Shuihan was thinking about why Sengoku wanted him to go back quickly, and for a moment he lost the mood to draw the lottery.

the other side,

In Sengoku's office, only he and Garp were present.

Seeing Garp still acting as if it were none of his business, eating a donut, Sengoku said helplessly, "Can't you do something about this?"

Garp swallowed a Tenten Ring in one gulp, and during the break, he said nonchalantly, "Having you is enough."

Upon seeing this, Zhan Guo roared, "Then what use are you?"

"Oh yeah, then I'll go out for some donuts. I'm definitely going to break the record this time." Garp started to leave.

"boom"

After Garp left, Sengoku was left alone, his face showing worry: "I don't know if bringing him back this time was the right thing to do. In the past, as long as an admiral was nominated, the World Government would be notified and that would be enough. I didn't expect them to interfere this time and even conduct the assessment themselves."
