"..."

Unable to reach an agreement, Long's expression turned serious. He dared not underestimate Yi Shuihan, for Yi Shuihan was no ordinary general; he was someone who could fight against the Four Emperors in earlier years.

Dragon's strength is also extremely high. His physical skills and Haki are not weak. These two qualities alone are enough to make him a top-tier admiral. In addition, his mysterious fruit ability is even more powerful than that of ordinary Logia-type Devil Fruit users. He is definitely at the level to fight against Whitebeard.

"The wind is picking up." With Long's words, a strong wind suddenly swept through the entire town of Rogue. The wind came suddenly and was very fast, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

Along with the strong winds, the sky was once again covered by dark clouds, threatening a torrential downpour.

Chapter 153, Neither Will Yield

The ability to change the world with a single word, though a masterpiece created by secretly manipulating the power of a fruit, is far less sophisticated than the idea of ​​words becoming law, but it still looks incredibly impressive.

"What kind of Devil Fruit is it that can do this much?" Yi Shuihan was quite impressed by the dragon's ability to so easily change the world. The level of development of this fruit was definitely top-notch, and it was very likely that it would awaken.

However, for Yi Shuihan, this level of wind was completely useless, unless a hurricane that could blow the entire island away would be something to see.

"Let's fight in the air." After saying this, the dragon's body turned into the wind and disappeared.

“Heaven it is then.” Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn’t show any fear. On the contrary, it was exactly what he wanted to say. If he really fought with the dragon here, it would be difficult to avoid affecting the surrounding area.

The rain began to pour down, and the combination of strong winds and heavy rain made it difficult for everyone to see what was happening in the sky. This made it very difficult to see the battle between Yi Shuihan and the dragon clearly, which was probably what the dragon wanted.

As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon has to consider more things. If his strength is exposed and the World Government finds out his secrets, it will not be a good thing.

As for Yi Shuihan, the person in question, Long had a special kind of confidence in him; his intuition told him that Yi Shuihan wouldn't do that.

He established a revolutionary army capable of rivaling the World Government. Dragon is a top choice in terms of both strength and intelligence. In fact, as Garp's son and Luffy's father, he has virtually nothing in common with Garp and Luffy. Putting aside his strength, his intelligence completely surpasses Luffy's.

If Luffy weren't the protagonist and had such a powerful background, he would have died countless times already.

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the red square tattoo on his face seems to be glowing!" Yi Shuihan suddenly noticed this detail.

Although many pirates have tattoos as decoration, Yi Shuihan felt that the tattoo on the dragon's face was definitely not one of those.

That strange feeling... tattoos must have some special purpose!

The dragon's fingers moved in a very regular rhythm, as if it were playing a piano piece, and with the rhythm of its fingers, the gale in the sky seemed to be manipulated, changing into various shapes.

The winds formed solid wind blades, as well as other shapes such as knives, guns, swords, arrows, and hammers, and then rushed towards Yi Shuihan at an extremely fast speed.

Moreover, wind blades or something similar would occasionally appear where Yi Shuihan was, making it impossible to defend against them and forcing Yi Shuihan to constantly change his position.

"Sonata of the Wind"

One of the skills that the Dragon Fruit ability uses is to manipulate the wind element in the world to attack enemies. Its characteristics are speed and unpredictability.

If it were anyone else, even Kizaru, they would be completely overwhelmed by this attack. But Yi Shuihan is different. He is rated 9 stars, which means he can easily dodge even at normal speed. With his strong strength and defense, he can even force his way in despite the attack.

With graceful steps, as if dancing, Yi Shuihan gradually approached the dragon. As Yi Shuihan drew closer, the dragon's fingers moved faster and faster, and more and more wind blades appeared around them.

The densely packed wind blades had almost no gaps, and as far as the eye could see, they were all a cyan color. Moreover, the attack power of each wind blade was comparable to that of an ordinary general, which was extremely terrifying.

"But that's not enough!"

As the natural domineering aura was unleashed, the wind blades fell directly down from afar, as if unwilling to attack Yi Shuihan.

Long's pupils contracted slightly, and he clenched his fist suddenly. A flash of red light appeared on his face, and the wind blades merged together at an extremely fast speed, turning into a huge cyan giant sword in the blink of an eye.

This time, the giant sword did not fall for no reason, but instead pierced straight towards Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan flipped his hand, the revolver reappeared, and he pulled the trigger, firing at the same spot every time.

After a dozen or so gunshots, the blue giant sword shattered into pieces.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

With a sudden stomp, the air beneath his feet exploded, and like a rocket accelerating, Yi Shuihan's figure vanished from the spot.

"Infinite Laser"

With a whoosh, Yi Shuihan leaped across the giant sword, and then the gun in his hand continuously shot out straight beams of light, like a laser gun, without the slightest pause. In just an instant, the laser beams transformed into a net, blocking the dragon's retreat.

There seemed to be an invisible wind barrier in front of the dragon, which would appear and block any lasers that approached.

"This is..." Yi Shuihan could naturally tell that the invisible barrier did not appear because of the dragon's operation, but was similar to an automatic protective aura. To describe it, it was similar to Gaara's sand defense in the Naruto world. Of course, compared to sand, this barrier made of wind was undoubtedly more advanced.

"If that's the case, then what about close combat?"

Abandoning the revolver, Yi Shuihan closed in on the dragon and swung his fist without hesitation.

"Click"

The wind barrier only held for a moment before shattering, and the fist pierced through it.

Long also made his move, his fist covered in a distinct blue color, and the tattoo on his face began to spread, showing a tendency to spread throughout his body.

"boom"

With their fists clashing, Yi Shuihan remained unmoved, while Long was knocked back two steps.

This result was clearly unacceptable to Long, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"Come again!"

Yi Shuihan swung his fist again, so fast that his arm was completely invisible.

With a roar, the dragon's facial tattoos finally glowed bright red, and marks quickly appeared on its arms, turning them crimson. The blue light was now enveloped in red, carrying a strong sense of foreboding.

The two crossed paths again, but this time the dragon did not retreat; instead, Yi Shuihan took a step back.

"interesting!"

Yi Shuihan took the initiative again, this time using the power of the iron block.

The dragon took a step back, while Yi Shuihan remained motionless.

The next time, the red light on the dragon's body surged again, and as a result, Yi Shuihan took a step back.

After several rounds of back-and-forth, there will be several outcomes, with neither side willing to give in!

Chapter 154, The Red Armor

As the two fought, not to mention Yi Shuihan, after Long unleashed even stronger power time and time again, the tattoos on his body completely covered him, making him look extremely mysterious.

The tattoos covering his entire body were not the end. Yi Shuihan could sense that an extremely powerful force was still brewing. Perhaps due to concerns or some unspeakable reason, Long did not use that power.

"However, that's not up to you."

With 5% of its power unleashed, its ferocious aura shattered the dark clouds in the sky, making it look as if it had punched a hole in the heavens.

"What, this power..." The dragon's pupils constricted, completely unexpected that Yi Shuihan had not used his full strength all this time. After all, the power that Yi Shuihan had shown before was already enough to contend with the Four Emperors.

Little did they know, they had already reached a point where they could not advance any further in the world of One Piece. Their current 5% strength was comparable to their full power a few years ago. In fact, it could be said that this 5% strength was enough to make them the strongest in the world of One Piece.

"If you don't use your hidden power, you probably won't be able to leave today," Yi Shuihan said calmly. Although he didn't make a move, the powerful pressure constantly reminded him of his terrifying nature.

Long gave Yi Shuihan a complicated look, but finally calmed down.

"Since you're so eager to see it, then go ahead and take a look, just don't regret it!" Before he finished speaking, the tattoos on his body began to flash at an extremely fast speed.

Yi Shuihan squinted, watching the changes on the dragon's body. When the tattoo detached itself from the dragon, as if stepping from an illusion into reality, and transformed into a blood-red suit of armor that completely enveloped the dragon, he revealed a slightly surprised expression.

At this moment, the dragon's aura was no weaker than his. In terms of system level, it was a Black Iron 9-star existence, and not just in one aspect, but in all aspects.

As expected of the leader of the Revolutionary Army? Someone who can stand up to the World Government, it's not surprising that he has such strength, is it?

The two were currently engaged in battle thousands of meters in the air. With the dragon's deliberate concealment, those below could hardly feel anything, at most experiencing a sense of oppression.

However, when Dragon fully unleashed his power, under this world-class aura, everyone in Loguetown seemed to be swept by an extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki. Only four people were still conscious: Smoker, Luffy, Robin, and Succubus. The others had already collapsed to the ground.

Smoker looked up at the sky, his expression extremely serious, his heart filled with shock. The power emanating from such a distance was so strong. He could imagine whether he could stand up if he were facing it head-on. The answer was cruel; he didn't think he could stand up.

In fact, he was almost unable to support himself and was about to kneel down, but seeing Luffy and the two women still standing, his pride wouldn't allow him to kneel.

"What exactly is going on? Could it be that their strength is even above mine?" Smoker looked at Robin and the others in silence, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.

Luffy's eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at the sky, completely ignoring the storm, as if he could really see the battlefield.

"Brother Yi and Dad are so strong." Seeing such a powerful aura for the first time, Luffy felt no fear at all. On the contrary, he was excited and a certain power in his body was about to awaken.

"Huh?" The succubus suddenly sensed something and looked at Luffy in surprise. If she wasn't mistaken, there was a Conqueror's Haki aura around Luffy, and the one emanating it was Luffy himself.

As expected, those who caught his attention were no ordinary people. At this moment, the succubus truly understood why Yi Shuihan had come to find Luffy.

"Brother Yi won't lose, right? He definitely won't. He won't lose to that old man!" Robin murmured, feeling a little worried as she sensed the astonishing aura above.

"I see it!" The succubus suddenly pointed to the sky, where two points of light, one red and one white, were colliding continuously, each collision bringing with it a huge thunderclap and lightning.

"Rumble"

The ground was shaking, as if the world was trembling because of the battle between the two. If you looked at the island where Loguetown is located from the air, you could see that the area around it was completely calm. The strange storm was covering the entire island.

Under the shadow of the storm, the island was like a small boat adrift in the tempest, constantly bobbing up and down, as if it were in danger of capsizing at any moment.

"Is this power a Devil Fruit?" For some reason, Yi Shuihan suddenly had this question. Devil Fruits are undoubtedly powers of life, and they can manifest in any form. The dragon's armor can undoubtedly be explained by the power of a Devil Fruit. However, Yi Shuihan had a vague feeling that this power did not belong to a Devil Fruit.

At Yi Shuihan's level of strength, premonitions are generally not easily formed, but once they do, they are very likely to be correct. Therefore, it is highly probable that the power the dragon is currently displaying does not belong to a Devil Fruit.

If it's not a Devil Fruit, then what is it? Yi Shuihan had absolutely no clue about this.

This world is far more complex than it appears on the surface! Suddenly, the memory of encountering an angel flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind.

With 5% of its power, it was evenly matched with the new dragon. This result was undoubtedly beyond Yi Shuihan's expectations. Just as the thought of defeating the dragon with even greater power appeared in Yi Shuihan's mind, he found that the dragon suddenly stopped. Its armor had disappeared at some point, and its tattoos had returned to the way they were when they first met.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I admit defeat." Long's voice was slightly weak, and the tattoo on his face seemed to have faded a bit.

"Not fighting anymore?" Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment, then lost interest in continuing. After all, he didn't have much hostility towards Long. They had fought once but failed to defeat him, which was something that could be forgiven in the Warring States period.

See you next time

Before Yi Shuihan could reply, the dragon transformed into a whirlwind and disappeared.

"They ran away? That's really fast!" According to Yi Shuihan's perception, the dragon's special way of moving was much faster than the speed of sound, and it was obviously the kind of way of traveling that could be used continuously. Apart from Kizaru and himself, almost no one in the Navy could catch up with it.

That's fine, then there's nothing more to say. It's just a bit difficult to explain to Luffy. What a hassle!

Chapter 155, Reunion

The dragon has left, but the storm continues and has not stopped; on the contrary, it seems to be intensifying.

"Wow, what a beautiful day!" Yi Shuihan exclaimed in a strange tone. The raindrops stopped a few meters away from him, as if an invisible barrier separated them, creating a world apart.

Over the years, Yi Shuihan has mastered the art of using domineering aura to perfection, making this a piece of cake for him.

"It seems something terrible happened while I was away. Are you the only ones left who can fight?" Yi Shuihan's expression was somewhat exaggerated.

Robin glared at Yi Shuihan with annoyance. Her clothes were soaked through by the rain, revealing glimpses of her alluring figure. Seeing that Yi Shuihan was completely unaffected, she went straight to her side to take shelter from the rain.

"It's all someone's doing," Robin said pointedly.

Luffy and the succubus also came over. Luffy curiously looked at the protective shields that were still under control, and even reached out to touch them several times. However, each time his hand passed through them without touching anything, which made him even more surprised.

"Your father had to leave early, so you'll have to see him next time," Yi Shuihan said to Luffy. Luffy just grunted in response, seemingly more curious about the strange sight before him than about the dragon.

I initially thought I would have to explain, but it seems I don't need to now.

Smoker also walked towards Yi Shuihan, but stopped outside the protective barrier. Rainwater slid down his face, and he looked somewhat pale, as if he was enduring something.

"Damn weather." Smoker muttered as if cursing, his Devil Fruit ability making him very averse to rain.

"Hey, can you help me out?" Smoker pointed to the people on the ground around him. In this kind of weather, if left unattended for too long, they could become seriously ill, or even die.

People in the world of One Piece are indeed strong, and those with great strength rarely get sick, but they don't have the immunity to all diseases that cultivators possess. Their resistance is not directly proportional to their strength, at least not below the rank of Admiral.

"Very well, I also have my reasons for this." As Yi Shuihan spoke, an invisible wave spread from his body, instantly enveloping the entire island.

Another use of Conqueror's Haki is to relieve the mental pressure caused by it.

"Huh? What's going on? How did I get here?"

"Holy crap, what just happened?"

"It's raining so hard, we need to find shelter quickly."

People quickly came to their senses and began to seek shelter from the rain. In the blink of an eye, all that was left besides Yi Shuihan and his group were the navy personnel and those like Bucky who couldn't move.

“Colonel Smoker, what was that just now…” Tashigi’s memory stopped at the moment before she lost consciousness.

Smoker didn't answer, but instead turned his gaze to Yi Shuihan, and Tashigi looked over as well.

"Why are you looking at me? This has nothing to do with me! You guys go do whatever you want, I'm taking Luffy with me."

Smoker did not stop Yi Shuihan and the others from leaving. Instead, he ordered the Marines to head back and bring Bucky back to the branch as well.

As for Luffy's situation, after this battle, he knew it was beyond his control, as both Yi Shuihan and Long were too powerful.

The four of them randomly chose a restaurant and went in, intending to wait out the rain for a while.
