"Brother Yi, who are you talking to?" Luffy asked directly.
Yi Shuihan looked at Luffy with a strange expression, then said, "With your old man."
"..." This answer clearly made Luffy's brain stop working, and his eyes widened.
"Dad, oh my god, do I still have a dad? Really? Where is he?!"
Seeing Luffy's eyes suddenly light up, Yi Shuihan felt at a loss for words.
Yi Shuihan's sudden words caught the dragon hidden in the shadows completely off guard. The immediate result was that the sun reappeared in the sky, and the rain was just an illusion.
Originally, Dragon didn't intend to reveal his relationship with Luffy. After all, if he knew that Luffy was his son, Luffy would be facing real powerhouses in the Navy, possibly even an Admiral. But now, Smoker is only chasing after Luffy because he came to his territory.
Yi Shuihan's words completely put Luffy in the spotlight, and Dragon, who originally didn't have much of an opinion about Yi Shuihan, became somewhat hostile.
Silently, a whirlwind appeared out of thin air not far from Yi Shuihan, and then transformed into a person whose body was completely hidden by a black robe.
"Has it come out yet?" Looking at the dragon in front of him, Yi Shuihan had to admit that the other party had a very unique temperament, full of mystery and power, which was very charming and made people want to befriend it.
As expected of the leader of the revolutionary army, he has an extraordinary presence!
"Coming to drop off your son?" The tone was very casual, as if it were dropping him off at kindergarten.
"Well, what about you?" It was a very ordinary answer, but with a rhetorical question, as if asking if I had eaten.
"Look at your son!"
"..."
There was nothing more to say. Long found Yi Shuihan's words quite puzzling. They sounded completely impossible, but his intuition told him that Yi Shuihan was not lying.
Since it was the first time Long had met Yi Shuihan, he didn't know how to start a conversation. After all, the two were enemies in terms of status, and it would be strange if they didn't fight when they met.
"Hey, are you my dad?" Luffy shouted at Dragon, his eyes full of inquiry.
For Luffy, "father" is an extremely unfamiliar word, because from childhood to adulthood, he only had a grandfather who would occasionally visit him, and he had no memory of his parents at all. Although he was not too concerned about it, when he actually found his father in front of him, a special feeling welled up in his heart.
"Luffy!" Dragon raised his head, and only then could his face be seen. Although half of his face was covered with incomprehensible symbols, it felt strangely fitting. His eyes, which seemed to see through everything in the world, were full of wisdom.
"My son! You've grown up." There was an inevitable sense of emotion in Long's tone. Now that he had been told his place, he simply admitted his identity.
Luffy suddenly felt his eyes getting wet, as if something was about to flow out. He had so much to say and so many questions to ask, but in the end, he found himself unable to speak.
Even Luffy, at this moment, didn't behave any different from the others!
"Da da da"
The sound of orderly footsteps rang out, and a squad of naval soldiers appeared not far away, approaching quickly. Leading them was Smoker, a white-haired man with a cigarette in his mouth.
Chapter 151, Wealth and Gold
Smoker was taken aback when he saw Yi Shuihan. Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, he recognized Yi Shuihan immediately.
How did he end up here? Shouldn't he be in the New World right now?
Who is this person? Smoker noticed the dragon, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.
His gaze kept shifting between Yi Shuihan and Long; his intuition told him that these two were the most noteworthy people on the scene.
As for Luffy, who was originally his target, he now seemed somewhat insignificant.
He didn't care about Luffy, but Luffy made a new move. Perhaps because he saw his father, he finally unleashed his power and easily broke free of the ropes binding him. To Buggy's astonishment, he stretched out his hand, which instantly lengthened, and leaped from the execution platform to Dragon's side.
Buggy was completely bewildered, feeling that the world was so unfamiliar. First, he encountered a Marine Admiral, then Luffy's father, and finally, Luffy, whom he had captured, escaped with ease.
Holy crap! With that kind of strength, you got caught? Were you just playing with me all along?
"You really are my dad!" Luffy looked at Dragon with curiosity and excitement.
What? He's Luffy's father! Smoker's expression turned strange upon hearing Luffy's words, because he already had a vague idea of Dragon's identity.
"If that's the case, then his presence here makes sense." Smoker looked at Luffy and Dragon with a playful expression.
So, did Yanlong come here for him?
Smoker continued to fill in the blanks in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more correct it seemed.
Since this matter involves dragons, it's beyond his control, so Smoker is now in a wait-and-see mode.
"Colonel, shall we capture Straw Hat Luffy now?" a bespectacled girl with a serious expression asked Smoker.
"So alike, so very alike!" Yi Shuihan suddenly clicked his tongue as he looked at the girl who was speaking.
The girl was a little confused by the stare. "What are you talking about?"
“You look almost exactly like someone I once met. Her name is Guina. Do you remember her?” Yi Shuihan’s expression was a little strange as he said this. A small hand had appeared on his waist without him noticing, and it only withdrew after he finished speaking.
Ever since meeting the succubus, Robin has learned all sorts of essential skills for women. I wonder who taught him these skills. Give me back the obedient Robin I used to know!
"Kuina?" Tashigi looked confused; it seemed she truly didn't know.
Are there really people like me? You're not kidding me, are you?
"Of course, I'll let you two meet then."
In fact, Yi Shuihan was also very curious about the relationship between Tashigi and Kuina. It was impossible for two people who looked almost identical to have no connection at all.
“He shouldn’t be lying,” Smoker interjected.
"Colonel, do you know him?" Tashigi was taken aback; Smoker's words had piqued his curiosity about Yi Shuihan.
Smoker gave Tashigi a strange look. "You really didn't recognize her?"
"What? Should I know about him?"
"Take a closer look, doesn't he look familiar?"
Smoker's words made Tashigi start to look at Yi Shuihan more closely. His serious expression, combined with his bespectacled and adorable look, gave him a unique charm.
"Ah!" Tashigi suddenly exclaimed, her face showing indescribable surprise. "General Yanlong!"
After calling out the title of Yi Shuihan's general, Tashigi lowered her head, a faint blush visible on her face, looking like a shy young wife.
Yi Shuihan was completely baffled by this scene and had no idea what was going on.
Smoker's expression also became very strange as he explained, "She is your admirer and has always looked up to you, a senior who became a Marine Admiral at such a young age, as her role model."
"So that's how it is," Yi Shuihan smiled upon learning the inside story. This feeling of being admired was wonderful.
"Sigh, I'm just that outstanding, there's nothing I can do about it." Yi Shuihan's eyes showed a hint of pride as he spoke gently to Tashigi, "You're very good, I have high hopes for you. As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll achieve great things in the future."
He was practically patting Tashigi on the shoulder, looking completely smug.
"Buggy, where are you going!" Luffy suddenly shouted, which drew everyone's attention back.
Buggy glared angrily at Luffy. He could have easily escaped unnoticed, but with that shout, he was doomed. Especially when he saw Yi Shuihan's gaze, Buggy's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not make the slightest move.
"I'm a little hungry, I want to go get something to eat!" Bucky said cautiously.
"Eat? Eating is good! Actually, I'm a little hungry too." Yi Shuihan said expressionlessly, beckoning Bucky with his finger.
Bucky walked over step by step, as if each step had exhausted all his strength.
"Here's what we'll do: have your men buy it. If I enjoy this meal, then I won't interfere in your affairs anymore."
"Really?"
Yi Shuihan's words cheered up Bucky, who was almost in disbelief that he could be let off the hook as long as he ate well. What a good thing!
"Of course, I keep my word. Just give me a portion of the 'Wealthy Gold Mountain'."
"Wealth and prosperity?"
"It's a small mountain made of gold! Don't you understand?"
Bucky was dumbfounded. A small mountain of gold—was this food? Looking at Yi Shuihan's ambiguous smile, Bucky realized that the other party was teasing him.
Even so, he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction, because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great!
He gave an almost tearful smile and said, "I can't afford such a luxurious meal! Can we have something else?"
"Can't afford it! Want to change it? Fine, then give me a fruit platter!"
"A fruit platter?"
"That's right, it's a fruit platter made from Devil Fruits."
Well, this is even more unrealistic than before. Bucky is completely desperate; it's obvious they're not going to let him go!
Chapter 152, Headshot from 3 Kilometers Away
Putting aside Baji himself, everyone else who heard Yi Shuihan's words could only smile wryly, their eyes filled with sympathy as they looked at Baji.
Knowing that Yi Shuihan would not let him go, Bucky suddenly felt courageous. He couldn't just wait to die like this.
Of course, Bucky had no intention of fighting Yi Shuihan; his only thought was to open fire, and that's what he did.
"Men, you wait here, I'm going to get something for Master Yanlong." With a loud shout, Bucky ran off with somewhat comical steps.
He decisively sold out his subordinates! At a critical moment, Bucky himself was in danger, so naturally he wouldn't care about others.
Alvida's pretty face turned pale. Just as Bucky was about to disappear completely from sight, Yi Shuihan remained motionless, gritted his teeth, and ran after him without saying a word.
The other pirates looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this, and the smart ones eventually ran away, leaving only a very few standing still.
"Should we pursue them, Lord Yanlong?" Yi Shuihan wasn't in a hurry, but Tashigi seemed a bit anxious; she was very concerned about catching the pirates.
Yi Shuihan merely gave him a playful look and didn't react at all. Run? Could he possibly escape?
The succubus who had witnessed Yi Shuihan killing people from a thousand miles away was the most at ease and didn't feel anything was wrong. Even Robin, who had never seen Yi Shuihan kill people from a thousand miles away, trusted Yi Shuihan deeply.
As for Smoker, he didn't take Buggy and his crew seriously at all. Even if they escaped, he thought catching them would be a piece of cake. He even wanted to see Buggy and the others escape from Yi Shuihan's clutches, so he calmly smoked his cigarette.
Without Yi Shuihan's permission, Tashigi couldn't make a move. After all, acting on her own would be a sign of distrust towards Yi Shuihan and would offend people.
"They're gone!" Finally, Buggy and his crew completely disappeared from everyone's sight. At this point, even if Tashigi and the others wanted to chase after them, they couldn't find the direction.
Should we just let those pirates go? That's what most people think.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan began his next move. With a flick of his wrist, a revolver appeared in his hand, and to everyone's astonishment, he fired continuously into the air.
"Bang bang bang..."
After a burst of inexplicable gunfire, Yi Shuihan put away his revolver and said to Tashigi, "Go and bring them back. Hmm, about 3 kilometers to the northeast."
Tashigi was stunned, completely unable to understand Yi Shuihan's words. Yi Shuihan meant that he knew where the other party was, but the other party was not stupid, so why wouldn't he move?
"Do as he says." Smoker gave the order, and Tashigi hurriedly left with her group.
A few minutes later, when Tashigi and his group returned with Bucky and his gang, everyone was shocked. Every one of them had been shot in all four limbs and was unable to move. It was more like they were being carried back than escorted.
Tashigi was somewhat dazed at this moment. She had just gone to the place Yi Shuihan had described, almost exactly where she had seen Bucky and his gang lying miserably on the ground. After asking them, she learned that they had been hit by bullets from the air and were now unable to move.
Based on the confession, the result was obvious: Yi Shuihan's previous firing into the sky was not without reason, but was actually aimed at them.
They were so far away, they couldn't even see each other, and there were obstacles in between. Most importantly, they were clearly fired at the sky without any angle deviation. How could they hit these people's different positions so accurately?
This ability is simply...
Tashigi didn't know how to describe it. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that such a thing could happen.
Tashigi brought back not everyone; only Buggy and a few key pirate officers were brought back. The other minor pirates were all shot in the head.
This further demonstrates Yi Shuihan's power; it was all premeditated!
"We meet again." When Bucky heard Yi Shuihan's emotionless words again, his face was filled with despair. He had completely given up on escaping. He was even somewhat relieved that he hadn't been shot in the head. Since he hadn't been killed immediately, it meant he still had a chance to go to prison, and then he could stay away from Yi Shuihan.
Even after being defeated by Luffy, Buggy was still arrogant and wanted revenge. But when it came to Yi Shuihan, revenge didn't even cross his mind. He would run as far away as possible if he encountered Yi Shuihan again.
Bucky didn't respond, but Yi Shuihan didn't care. The bullet he fired was no ordinary bullet. What Bucky didn't know was that he would probably be crippled from now on. This punishment was enough.
After Buggy and the others were dealt with, only Luffy, the pirate, and Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, remained on the scene.
Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't attack Luffy, but seeing Dragon, it would be unreasonable not to take action.
Yi Shuihan immediately used his aura to lock onto the dragon.
Dragon's expression changed, and he gestured for Luffy to move away.
Luffy was confused, but he instinctively stepped back.
"Tashigi, back off." Smoker had also noticed something amiss and ordered his men to leave a large area for Yi Shuihan and Long.
Yi Shuihan glanced at Robin and the succubus, and the two understood and left.
"Is a fight really unavoidable?"
"We don't have to fight! You can just surrender."
