Multiverse Skill System

What could he say? If he didn't take the things out soon, Yi Shuihan felt that Robin and the others would tear his clothes to shreds.

With a wave of his hand, two large barrels appeared on the ground, and Robin and his companion pounced on them like hungry wolves.

At this moment, the two women had completely abandoned any semblance of ladylike restraint; they were acting like girls, grabbing the buckets and drinking without a care in the world, drinking with unrestrained abandon.

To Yi Shuihan's astonishment, Robin and the succubus had drunk a full three buckets, twice as much as he had. If they hadn't been struggling to even move, they probably would have continued.

The woman's obsession with beauty was now fully revealed to Yi Shuihan, making him realize what true terror was.

Over the next few days, Yi Shuihan acted within his limits. In addition to drinking blood, he occasionally ate some delicacies. After all, although the dragon blood tasted good with the added seasonings, it was still not as good as the delicacies that Yi Shuihan had treasured. Besides, drinking too much of it would be cloying.

Robin and the succubus fully demonstrated what madness meant in front of Yi Shuihan. They basically drank dragon blood every day until they couldn't move anymore, as if they would never get tired of it.

In fact, they spent the last few days lying down, and Yi Shuihan even took the helm of the boat himself.

Pain and pleasure coexist—this is the true picture of Yi Shuihan's current state. He is in pain because he was originally a young master who was served by two women and had everything done for him. Now, he has to take care of the two women instead. But he is happy because his body is changing day by day, and he is pleased to see the two women becoming more and more beautiful and charming.

This continued for half a month before it finally stopped. In fact, the dragon blood had basically lost its effect on Yi Shuihan by the 10th day, and his lifespan reached a thousand years as he wished. The two women reached a thousand years on the 4th day.

However, the two women valued the transformation of the dragon's blood on their skin more than their lifespan, so they continued to drink it as long as it had even the slightest effect, until half a month later when it had absolutely no effect and they stopped their crazy behavior.

"Finally, I can get some rest." Feeling the softness on her shoulder and the grapes that weren't being offered to her mouth, Yi Shuihan was in an exceptionally good mood.

Chapter 166, The Collision of Fireworks

It must be said that the effects of the dragon blood are truly astonishing. The three of them have been completely transformed, with changes in their lifespans and other aspects of their lives varying degrees.

The powerful vitality greatly enhances the body's recovery ability. Yi Shuihan conducted an experiment, making a cut about 10cm long on his hand. The cut disappeared completely in just about 10 seconds, leaving no trace of injury.

Not only that, but my stamina also seems to be inexhaustible. The most obvious thing is that I can now basically keep my burst mode active all day long, without having to worry about running out of steam due to stamina issues.

Although there is no fundamental change in strength and speed, Yi Shuihan's strength has undoubtedly improved significantly. He is no longer afraid of being surrounded by opponents of the same level, and with his powerful recovery ability, he can wear down his enemies.

Yi Shuihan already possesses near-peak strength in this world, so naturally his overall level won't increase. However, Robin and the succubus are different; the lower their strength, the more benefits they receive.

Robin's strength was originally only Iron 6, close to the Admiral level. Now, the aura emanating from her body has completely changed to Iron 7, making her a true Admiral. Moreover, combined with her physical strength, it can be said that she is almost invincible among the Admirals and can even hold her own against Iron 8.

The succubus, originally an 8-star Black Iron expert, is now showing signs of breaking through to 9-star Black Iron and becoming one of the highest levels in the One Piece world. It's clear that she hasn't fully digested the benefits of the dragon blood yet. After some time, she will definitely be able to enter the 9-star realm. Combined with her powerful regenerative abilities, her strength will be far beyond that of an ordinary 9-star.

Having spent so many years by Yi Shuihan's side, the succubus, who had already developed strange feelings for him, was now completely imprinted with his image because of his generosity. Their relationship was only a thin membrane, which would break easily.

"A lifespan of a thousand years... I wonder if there are any ancient monsters in this world that have yet to be born, and how old are the Five Elders?" Since there are such things as thousand-year dragons in the world, Yi Shuihan does not believe that no one has ever discovered them before. Perhaps there are some ancient monsters that have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, silently watching all of this from some corner of the world.

The "Operation Fruit" and the "Millennium Dragon" are the methods Yi Shuihan currently knows for extending lifespan. Although the latter only extends lifespan by a thousand years, a thousand years is an incredibly long time, long enough to witness the rise and fall of a civilization. This is not some primitive world where a period of seclusion is measured in tens of thousands of years.

"Let's go to that desert country next. Maybe we can catch Luffy fighting Crocodile. If we're lucky, the system will recognize it as a big event, and that would be great."

Having determined their destination, Yi Shuihan's ship sped off at full speed, racing wildly across the sea.

While Yi Shuihan was heading to Alabasta, a unique battle was taking place in a desert region of Alabasta.

"Let me see if my fire is stronger, or your smoke."

"You arrogant brat, I'll teach you how to behave today."

"Emperor Yan, King of Flames"

"The Chaotic World of White Light"

A giant of fire, hundreds of meters tall, brandished its fists, its powerful aura like that of a king reigning over the world, intimidating everything around it.

Opposite it, however, was a vast expanse of white, with nothing else visible, as if it were a mist. The mist continued to spread, as if it were devouring the world and trying to assimilate it, spreading at an astonishing speed toward the fire giant.

"Boom"

"crash"

Fire and smoke intertwined, each containing the other, resulting in an incredible and bizarre transformation. This enormous spectacle could be seen throughout Alabasta, and everyone stared in horror at the sky.

Rainy ground,

A man with a captain's hook on his left arm and a scar that almost splits his face in two in the center of his face looked up at the direction of the battle, a cold glint in his eyes. "To actually fight in my kingdom, you don't take me seriously!"

Such a grand tone naturally indicates that he is no ordinary person. Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is naturally the owner of the Sand-Sand Fruit.

In this desert kingdom, Crocodile's Devil Fruit ability is greatly amplified, making it practically his home turf.

"Luffy, that guy really is your brother." Usopp stared in disbelief at the huge commotion behind him. He had never witnessed such a world-destroying battle before, and his body felt weak, his stomach cramping.

"Yeah, Ace is the eldest brother, and I have a second older brother," Luffy said casually.

These words, however, caused a magnitude 18 earthquake in the ears of his crew. If the eldest brother is so powerful, the second brother must be no less so. They originally thought Luffy was a freak, but it turns out his relatives are all monsters too.

Remembering what they had learned about Luffy's grandfather and father, Nami and the others looked at Luffy with strange expressions.

Neither the Smoke-Smoke Fruit nor the Fire-Fire Fruit could overcome the other. Even the Smoke Man, having witnessed Yi Shuihan's power, had learned Haki that made him much stronger than in the original story, yet he still couldn't defeat Ace. There was no way around it; Ace had actually been trained by Yi Shuihan for a period of time, so the two powers canceled each other out.

Just like in the original story, Ace came in search of Blackbeard. After a brief reunion with Luffy, they parted ways again. It remains to be seen whether Ace will repeat the same mistake this time.

Yi Shuihan felt conflicted about this. He hoped that Ace wouldn't be captured, since they had known each other for a while. However, if Ace wasn't captured, the Marineford War couldn't begin, which would be a major event that directly affected Yi Shuihan's own interests, and he couldn't give it up.

Yi Shuihan's attitude in the end was simply to let things take their course. He wouldn't help Ace just because they had some connection, nor would he deliberately force the start of the Marineford War. If all else failed, without Ace as the catalyst, he could start a world war himself!

It's just a matter of whether the system will recognize this as a major event. If it does, then Yi Shuihan might need to create more grand occasions, easily complete tasks, and obtain a large number of rewards. Yi Shuihan wouldn't refuse that.

Chapter 167, The Empress Who Came to the Door

"Why are you here?"

"I have come to you."

Looking at the empress before him, who appeared to be a delicate and refined young lady, Yi Shuihan felt a tremor in his heart.

Come to think of it, he had almost forgotten about Hancock all these years, but he never expected that she would come looking for him.

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Empress Boa Hancock, was dressed in a bright red cheongsam, her hair flowing straight down to her waist. She looked incredibly beautiful. As a traditional Chinese man, Yi Shuihan had a particular fondness for this classic type of girl.

"If your hair grows long enough to reach your waist, will you marry me?" These words slipped out involuntarily, instantly turning Hancock's face bright red as she looked shyly at Yi Shuihan.

That's great! He cares about me, otherwise he wouldn't have said those words. Hancock's previously anxious heart became incredibly happy.

Back then, Yi Shuihan's rescue of Hancock was a great success. Over the years, Hancock has not forgotten Yi Shuihan because of time. On the contrary, she has gone to the other extreme. Like wine, the longer it is stored, the more mellow it becomes. Yi Shuihan's place in her heart has become more and more important. Now, she has even reached the point where she can't fit anyone else in her heart except for Yi Shuihan.

"Hmph, pretentious," the succubus said, looking at the woman who had suddenly appeared with great dissatisfaction, especially Hancock's beauty, which made her feel somewhat pressured.

Even after using dragon's blood, the succubus wouldn't dare say she's more beautiful than Hancock. At most, they're each beautiful in their own way. But this is her after drinking dragon's blood; if Hancock drank it too, just how beautiful would she be?

Robin was much more rational. She was used to Yi Shuihan's romantic luck. Although she was not calm, she was more puzzled as to why Yi Shuihan knew Hancock, especially since Hancock was like this.

Yi Shuihan didn't reveal the details of how he saved Hancock, otherwise Robin wouldn't have been surprised.

Of course, Yi Shuihan's offhand remark made Robin feel genuinely jealous, and she wondered if she should grow her hair longer.

Hancock was still accompanied by her two younger sisters. She had originally intended to come to find Yi Shuihan alone, but in the end, she couldn't persuade her two sisters. After all, she was now the Empress of Amazons, and it would be inappropriate for her to leave alone.

"You haven't come to see me for a long time, and I thought you had forgotten me, so I came to find you." Hancock's voice sounded very weak, arousing a protective instinct in people, especially the grievance she showed, which made Yi Shuihan feel guilty.

Yi Shuihan inwardly exclaimed that she was a monster, and glanced at the succubus beside him without showing any emotion. This Hancock was even stronger than the succubus. This completely natural softness was even more powerful to Yi Shuihan.

It was indeed well-developed, much larger than Robin and the succubus, and must have conquered countless members of the opposite sex.

"Are you two Brother Yi's maids?" Hancock was a completely different person when she saw Robin and the succubus, with an arrogant expression, as if her previous act of weakness towards Yi Shuihan was just an act.

Hancock looked Robin and the succubus up and down, a strange light flashing in her eyes. Although she believed she was no less attractive than them, the two women were not much different from her.

"I'm a maid, and you're not even a maid!" the succubus retorted, though the meaning behind her words was somewhat twisted, indicating that she wasn't against the position of maid!

The succubus's words made Hancock raise an eyebrow, ready to start a fight. However, seeing that things were not going well, Yi Shuihan stepped forward, coughed, and Hancock immediately backed down, looking at Yi Shuihan obediently, as if everything was up to him.

Feeling a little smug, Yi Shuihan thought, since the other party had already chased him all the way here, he couldn't very well let them go back. He couldn't hurt the heart of someone who loved him!

"If there's nothing else, you can come with me."

"I have nothing to do and am quite free," Hancock said quickly, her face beaming with joy.

I was kept behind. I was kept behind. That phrase kept repeating in my mind.

Hancock's two younger sisters behind her were shocked by what they saw. They were astonished that the Empress had this side to her. However, they probably only acted this way when facing their sister who was a man!

Yi Shuihan's group expanded once again, parading through the city with three beautiful women. It was a very unique feeling. Whenever he saw countless murderous eyes staring at him, Yi Shuihan wondered if this "good-looking disease" was truly incurable.

"I wonder if there's a book called 'How to Get Along with People When You're Handsome'? If there is, I'd definitely like to borrow it and learn from it."

Ignoring the envious and jealous looks, Yi Shuihan and his group finally arrived in the rainy land, just in time to witness Luffy's battle against Crocodile.

Even without Robin, Crocodile still found someone who could translate ancient texts—a somewhat sickly-looking young man who was watching Luffy being tortured by Crocodile with great interest.

"Yes, Brother Yi." Seeing Yi Shuihan, Luffy was very happy, and even his fighting power increased a bit. For a moment, he briefly gained the upper hand with his domineering aura.

However, Crocodile's home advantage is too great, and if things continue like this, he will probably win again.

"It was him. This is troublesome."

Yi Shuihan's reputation is too great. A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Even a great villain like Crocodile cannot ignore him, especially since Yi Shuihan seems to be somewhat familiar with Straw Hat Boy.

"Now that General Yanlong is here, I won't interfere with your arrest."

After thinking for a moment, Crocodile broke away from the battle and spoke to Yi Shuihan, as if Yi Shuihan's purpose in coming here was to capture Luffy.

Even as he spoke, Crocodile remained vigilant, ready for Yi Shuihan to make a sudden move at any moment, demonstrating his shrewdness and experience.

"You bedbug, why don't you kneel before me?"

Before Yi Shuihan could react, Hancock stepped forward, looking at Crocodile with disdain. She could tell that Crocodile had ill intentions.

"Empress!?" Crocodile only then noticed Hancock's presence, and upon hearing her words, his face darkened considerably.

Chapter 168, What do you suggest we do?

He was already wary of Yi Shuihan, and now an empress, who was also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has appeared. This makes even Crocodile, who has the home-field advantage, feel insecure.

This is still without Crocodile knowing the strength of Succubus and Robin. They could easily defeat him now. After all, Crocodile is barely even at the Admiral level, belonging to the peak of Black Iron 6-star. With the help of his Devil Fruit, he might be able to unleash Black Iron 7-star attacks, which is Admiral level.

Although there are seven Shichibukai, there is a significant difference in their strength. Crocodile is one of the weaker ones, and he doesn't even know Haki.

"Empress, you'd better watch your mouth. I'm not one of your trashy citizens." Even if he didn't want to antagonize the Empress, Crocodile wasn't the type to let himself be bullied.

"Trash citizens! How dare you call my compatriots trash!" Hancock was furious, her eyebrows almost standing on end. "You're not even trash. You're just wasting air by living in this world. Why don't you just commit suicide?"

"Suicide!?" Crocodile would never do that, and he was secretly furious at Hancock's analogy, but he dared not provoke her any further, fearing that if he continued, Hancock would really take action.

Crocodile clearly doubted Hancock's resolve. She was completely obedient to Yi Shuihan, showing no trace of the Empress's domineering nature. But Crocodile was different. The Empress had awakened Conqueror's Haki and was among the top of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. She looked down on Crocodile.

With her hands placed in front of her breasts in a heart shape, she instantly exudes charm, even captivating Yi Shuihan with her beauty.

"Sweet and refreshing breeze"

Like rays of love spreading from Hancock, they instantly struck Crocodile and the sickly young man beside him.

"click"

The sickly youth petrified from head to toe at a visible speed, turning into a stone sculpture in the blink of an eye. The sand crocodile fared better, but it was also petrified, just at a slightly slower rate.

"Damn it!" The sand crocodile was extremely shocked and furious. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he actually severed his own legs.

Despite having a broken leg, there was no blood. The sand crocodile transformed into a cloud of sand and moved to a nearby location. When he reappeared, both his legs were intact. However, his pale and weak complexion showed that he was not actually in good condition.

Crocodile's strength should have prevented him from being petrified by Hancock's Sweet Sweet Wind. As a great pirate, he also knew some information about Hancock and naturally had a solution to this move: as long as he didn't focus on her, or even if he had no lustful thoughts at all, he could be petrified.

The latter, Crocodile, admitted that he was no match for her, but he believed that he was still quite relaxed since his attention was not on Hancock. It was just that the other party's attack was too sudden, which caused Crocodile to fall into a trap.

"Wow, that's amazing." Luffy looked at Hancock in amazement, deeply impressed by her ability to petrify people.

Hancock glanced at Luffy. Just now, Luffy was also within the attack range, but it seemed that the light had no effect on him at all, which made Hancock slightly concerned, but it was just a fleeting thought.

"Release him, or I can't do anything to you, but I'll definitely make sure your Amazon region is never at peace." Crocodile pointed at his petrified subordinate and made a threatening statement.

Even now, he clearly understands that he cannot do anything to Hancock, which shows that he is still very calm.

Not only did he not fight back after being beaten, but he could also say such things. Even Yi Shuihan looked at him with new respect. He's not simple!

This is the quality of a great pirate, a Shichibukai! I really don't know how Luffy defeated him in the original work, or whether Crocodile's intelligence was suppressed to the same level as Luffy's after he encountered Luffy with the protagonist's halo?

Seeing that Hancock was about to make a move, and even her domineering aura was faintly emanating from her, Yi Shuihan walked to her side and gently put her hand on her slender waist and put it around her arm.

Caught off guard, Hancock was suddenly pulled into Yi Shuihan's arms. Her instinct was to get angry, but upon realizing it, she instantly became incredibly obedient, completely letting Yi Shuihan take the lead.

Crocodile was stunned by this scene, even extremely envious. If he weren't so wary of Hancock's strength, he would want to have a woman like that too!

Crocodile couldn't understand it at all. He had never heard of Yi Shuihan and Hancock being so close. Moreover, it seemed that Hancock was completely obedient to Yi Shuihan. Could it be because of Yi Shuihan's powerful strength?

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Crocodile did not let his guard down. On the contrary, he became more and more alarmed and was ready to run away at any moment. Yes, not to fight, but to run away directly, which shows his fear of Yi Shuihan.

"Old Sha, what do you suggest we do about this?" Yi Shuihan said gently, as if chatting with a friend. "It's one thing to bully me, but you shouldn't bully my woman! If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, we might lose one of the Seven Warlords today."

Old Sha? Who is Old Sha? It took Crocodile Sha a while to realize that he was being referred to. Yi Shuihan's words made him curse inwardly. It was clearly your woman who provoked me first, and I'm the one who always suffers. I only cursed and threatened her, and it wasn't even directly aimed at your woman.

You still want me to give you an explanation, a satisfactory answer? I want an explanation too!
