Multiverse Skill System

Thinking this to himself, Crocodile Sand had no words to express his suffering. It was obvious that Yi Shuihan was making things difficult for him, so what could he do? At this moment, he hated Yi Shuihan. He had done a lot of things by bullying others because of his strength, without feeling that there was anything wrong with it. Only when he became the one being bullied did he feel so aggrieved.

Fine, if I can't afford to mess with them, I can at least run away.

Without uttering a single harsh word, the Sand Crocodile transformed into a sandstorm and fled, completely ignoring his important subordinate.

"Ran away?" Yi Shuihan was somewhat taken aback, then smiled. "Could they have escaped?"

A natural, domineering aura burst forth, precisely enveloping the patterned sandstorm hundreds of meters away. Instantly, the sandstorm trembled, the storm vanished, and the sand crocodile's figure plummeted from the sky to the ground, landing face-first in the dirt.

Chapter 169, Taking Down the Crocodile Head-on

Feeling the immense pressure on his body, Crocodile finally panicked. He had thought that as a Logia-type user, and in the desert, his home turf, as long as he didn't encounter another Logia-type enemy, especially a speed-type like Kizaru, he could simply run away if he couldn't win, making him invincible from the start.

Even though he had previously placed himself in the position of the weaker party, and Yi Shuihan was an invincible strongman, Sand Crocodile was still able to remain calm. But now, he had completely lost his confidence.

To suppress himself so easily, without even lifting a finger, the difference was immense, like two completely different worlds.

"What should we do? We can't escape." The sand crocodile anxiously tried to think of a solution.

By the way, I am a Shichibukai. He wouldn't dare kill me. As long as I lower my stance a bit later, I should be able to save my life.

Faced with a life-or-death threat, Crocodile was ready to abandon all principles. After all, losing to Yi Shuihan wasn't anything shameful, since the opponent was a general capable of fighting against the Four Emperors.

Thinking this way calmed me down considerably.

With a dashing gait, Yi Shuihan, arm in arm with Hancock, looking every bit the winner in life, walked up to Crocodile.

"Continuing our previous topic, what are you planning to do?"

With a hint of mockery in her eyes, Hancock watched all this with flushed cheeks, looking at Yi Shuihan with adoration. In her eyes, Yi Shuihan at this moment was so domineering, overlapping with the most perfect prince in her heart, and even exceeding her imagination.

Oh my god! What should I do? I'm completely captivated by Brother Yi. I feel like my heart is melting.

Luffy was completely baffled by everything at this moment, his eyes filled with confusion. But with his intelligence, if he didn't understand, he wouldn't think about it. In short, he understood one thing: Crocodile had been defeated.

Luffy couldn't see through Yi Shuihan. In his memory, he called him "Uncle" when they first met, but after all these years, Yi Shuihan looked only a few years older than him, as if time had left no trace on him. This is also why he later called Yi Shuihan "Brother Yi".

Luffy, who originally wanted to beat up Crocodile, is now in a dilemma because it seems that he won't be able to do it if things continue like this. What should he do?

"Brother Yi, can I beat him up first?"

Well, he just shouted it out, which surprised everyone present.

Yi Shuihan looked at Luffy with surprise, while Luffy chuckled and scratched the back of his head, saying, "I promised Weiwei that I would beat him to a pulp. If I promise someone something, I have to do it."

“Not bad, a good kid. Well then, you can go ahead. I'll only give you 3 minutes.” Yi Shuihan nodded, but took a few steps back, indicating that he would not interfere for the time being.

Not only that, he also withdrew his domineering aura, allowing the sand crocodile to stand up again.

They didn't dare say anything to the crocodile of Yishui Hansha, but Luffy was different. He had been furious about the losses he had suffered before, and when he saw Luffy charging in, he immediately exploded.

"Desert Sword"

The Seven Warlords of the Sea finally revealed their ferocious power. Their massive sand blades, accompanied by a terrifying roar, seemed poised to devour everything.

"Right, kid?"

Luffy was about to be struck by the sand blade and seemed destined to die.

However, if it were the original Luffy, it might have been in real danger, but now...

Second gear

Luffy let out a soft shout, his figure blurred for a moment, and then disappeared from the spot. Only then did the sand blade strike hard where it had been.

A cut nearly ten meters wide and several tens of meters long appeared in the desert, and the cut was crackling with something resembling lightning, making it look extremely dangerous.

"bang bang bang"

Luffy, now in Gear Second, is entirely pink, his blood circulating rapidly, unleashing power far exceeding his normal state. Furthermore, his arms are now completely black, as he unleashes the Armament Haki he had previously held back.

Since Luffy hadn't used Haki before, Crocodile was surprised when Luffy displayed extraordinary speed, but he didn't take it seriously and simply transformed into his elemental form.

The result was obvious: he was doomed. His first punch sent Crocodile into his elemental form, the immense force causing his abdomen to cave in. The subsequent barrage of punches, like a machine gun, left Crocodile utterly helpless.

"Tick-tock"

Blood dripped from Luffy's hand, falling onto the desert and instantly being absorbed by the parched earth. At this moment, Luffy's eyes were serious, as if he were doing something sacred.

"Take this! Eraser, eraser, grab it!"

His arm stretched a hundred meters backward, then he returned at an even faster speed, using the recoil combined with his own strength to strike the already badly injured sand crocodile.

"Wow"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and then the sand crocodile took a rapid flight. Because it was in the desert and there were no obstacles behind it, it flew exceptionally far, and in the blink of an eye, it was just a small dot.

"Whoosh!" Luffy's skin began to return to normal, and his eyes returned to their usual silly look, showing no trace of the ferocity he had just displayed.

"Have you had enough? Want to continue?"

"No need, I've already beaten him up. I feel really good."

This time, Luffy directly defeated Crocodile, which was much more satisfying than the original story's plot involving a burst of power, coincidences, and twists and turns.

"Then you go ahead and do your work. Don't worry, he won't appear in this country again," Yi Shuihan said, then walked away in the direction the sand crocodile had flown.

Robin and the others naturally followed in Yi Shuihan's footsteps, and in the blink of an eye, they too disappeared from Luffy's sight.

Luffy originally wanted to catch up with Yi Shuihan again, but remembering his promise to Weiwei and the fact that the capital of the country still needed help, he ultimately did not catch up with her.

When the Sand Crocodile was seen again, his body was covered in fist marks, his clothes were half torn, and his waxed hair was disheveled, making him look terrible.

At this point, the sand crocodile was extremely close to death. He was so badly injured that even an ordinary person could easily kill him. If he were left unattended, he would die soon as well.

Barely opening his eyes, he saw Yi Shuihan, and the Crocodile's eyes were filled with despair.

"Let...let...me go!"

It sounded like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy; it was utterly pathetic.

Chapter 170, Things Destined for Each Other

Faced with the crocodile's pleas for mercy, Yi Shuihan was somewhat surprised and fell silent, feeling a little sympathy.

"I'm not going to do anything to you. Why are you putting it out? Hancock, what do you suggest?" Yi Shuihan no longer had the intention of making things difficult for Crocodile, feeling that it would be beneath him.

Hancock watched Crocodile with schadenfreude. She hadn't forgotten the threat Crocodile had made before, and seeing Crocodile's miserable state made her feel incredibly satisfied.

When asked the question, Hancock thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we just leave him alone and let him fend for himself?"

Upon hearing this, the sand crocodile on the ground, seemingly summoning strength from nowhere, cried out, "No, save me! I'll die if this continues!"

"What do I care if you live or die? Let's go." Nonsense, it's already a great mercy that I'm not killing you. Although even if I don't care, there's still a 99% chance that the crocodile will die, there's still a 1% chance that it will survive.

Yi Shuihan made the decision, and naturally no one else would disagree. So the group left amidst the despair and intense resentment in the eyes of the sand crocodile.

About three hours after Yi Shuihan left, a group of navy personnel arrived at the side of the unconscious Crocodile. The leader was Yan Nan. Crocodile escaped with his life, and his fate was the same as in the original story: he was sent to the Great Prison.

"What do we do next? It's not even a big deal." Looking at the progress of a certain task, Yi Shuihan was unhappy. He came here specifically for the task, but who knew that he would come for nothing after all this time.

"Forget it, let's go to the capital to check the historical records, and then retreat as soon as possible."

Yi Shuihan and his group went directly to the capital, ignoring the fierce battle between the royal army and the rebel army. They arrived at the location of the historical text without anyone noticing, stayed for about half an hour, and then left.

"Is it a message about Hades?" Yi Shuihan asked casually on the way.

“Yes, do you want me to tell you where Hades is?” Robin didn’t keep him in suspense and was about to tell him directly.

"No need, I don't need that thing." He shook his head and refused in Robin's surprised gaze. With Yi Shuihan's current strength, he really didn't need Hades. Although it was one of the three ancient weapons, it was ultimately an external object.

Hades is something Crocodile has been dreaming of day and night. He has spent years trying to overthrow his kingdom in order to obtain Hades and then dominate the world.

The name "Pluto Yi Shui Han" is unknown, but the Sea King, who is equally famous, is now the princess of the Mermaid Clan. After awakening her bloodline, she can command all the Sea Kings in the sea.

The number of sea monsters in the ocean is definitely not small. Their combined power could potentially overthrow the world, which shows the power of ancient weapons.

The reason Yi Shuihan didn't care was entirely because of the system. No matter how strong Hades was, he couldn't compare to the system. At most, he was limited to this world. Could he possibly defy the heavens?

With his strength reaching the world's limit, and enhanced by the thousand-year-old dragon blood, Yi Shuihan could be said to be far more powerful than the three ancient weapons. As for the Sea King, even if all the Sea Kings in the world joined forces to attack him, Yi Shuihan would not be afraid. With a single burst of his natural domineering aura, even an Admiral would have to kneel. And there are probably very few Sea Kings stronger than an Admiral in the entire world, at most no more than three digits.

Even with hundreds of generals surrounding him, Yi Shuihan said he could easily defeat them. He added that he could do the same even if hundreds of Black Iron 9-star generals surrounded him, as his strength was already subtly beyond the Black Iron level.

Without further ado, having not received the benefits he had imagined, Yi Shuihan abandoned his plan to follow Luffy and ride the wave of the big events, and instead led the girls straight to their next destination, Skypiea.

Speaking of which, Yi Shuihan has been to Skypiea before, but it wasn't the one Luffy and his crew went to. This time, he's going to Skypiea to steal a certain Thor's golden ship.

"This golden ship is such a high-class thing, it's perfect for showing off in the future. This thing is destined for me, it's rightfully mine to have it!" Yi Shuihan thought shamelessly, which made Enel, who was far away on the Sky Island, shiver for no reason.

Well, if Enel knows what's good for him, I can make him the ship's generator. Otherwise, the power problem that others can't solve isn't a big deal for me.

A mere amount of electricity can be easily dealt with using any skill; so easy.

Along the way, they leisurely flirted with girls, played around with flirting, admired the wonders of nature, and enjoyed delicious food. Finally, they arrived at Jaya Island before Luffy.

Before they arrived, Yi Shuihan had told everyone about Jaya Island, and they all knew that Golden Island was actually real, but it had been swept into the sky. So everyone was particularly looking forward to Sky Island, and Robin was especially interested in hearing that there was a Poneglyph on it.

"Are we looking for the Compass Bird?" Having heard that Jaya Island was lifted into the sky by updrafts and how to get there, Robin and the others guessed Yi Shuihan's plan.

“That’s right, it makes things even safer. If you don’t want to get off the ship, you can wait for me on the ship. It won’t take long.”

"No, I'd rather come with you. I've been on the ship for so long, I want to experience what it's like to have my feet on solid ground."

"I want to go with you too. As long as I'm with you, I don't care where we go."

"Then let's do it together."

After putting away the boat, the group set foot on Gaya Island and headed into the depths of the forest. Originally, Yi Shuihan did not intend to join a certain guy on the island who was diving day and night to search for clues about the Golden City and wanted to clear his ancestors' names. However, some things are not subject to his will.

On the way, they encountered Venblanculik, a descendant of the "Big Talker" with a diamond-shaped face and a naked upper body.

Kulik still had some seawater on him from diving, so he looked like he had just finished diving. He probably hadn't seen anyone else on the island for a long time. When he saw Yi Shuihan and her group, he didn't react at first, especially when he saw the other beautiful women besides Yi Shuihan. He was stunned for a long time.

Chapter 171, Bai Hai

"Have you seen enough? If not, you can't continue," Yi Shuihan said jokingly.

Kulik then came to his senses and felt a little embarrassed about his previous behavior. He awkwardly changed the subject: "I wonder what brings you all here? This is an isolated island, and there is no one else here except me."

It is indeed an isolated island. Apart from Kurik staying here as a diving athlete, the only other thing is that the Ape Brothers Pirates occasionally bring Kurik some daily necessities.

Gaya Island, though somewhat famous and known as the land of gold in legends, is now practically a deserted island. Almost no one comes here, and people deliberately avoid choosing it when selecting routes, since the Sky Island that the pointer points to is generally inaccessible to most people, and there is no such thing as a Sky Island.

"We need the Compass Bird to get to the Sky Island," Yi Shuihan said without any intention of hiding anything.

Kulik was taken aback by what he heard, and looked at Yi Shuihan with some excitement in his eyes, "Do you also believe in sky islands?"

"Is it strange? It's always been there, isn't it?" Yi Shuihan said with certainty, which touched a chord in Kulik's heart, and his gaze towards Yi Shuihan softened considerably.

"Need any help? I can help with the guidebird."

It was clear that Kulik genuinely wanted to help, but Yi Shuihan still refused, as getting a guide bird was not a difficult task for him.

Kulik didn't press the matter after being refused his offer, but reminded Yi Shuihan to be careful.

"By the way, someone might come looking for you soon. They might have the same goal as me and hope you can help them." After mentioning this, without waiting for Kulik's doubts, Yi Shuihan and his group continued their journey.

"Sky Island? I hope they can get there safely!" Kunik murmured, watching Yi Shuihan's retreating figure, a complex and unreadable expression in his eyes.

Leaving aside Kulik's continued repetitive salvage life, Yi Shuihan and his group easily found the Guide Bird and easily tamed one.

From landing on the island to achieving their goal and obtaining the guide bird, it only took 2 hours, so naturally they wouldn't just leave like that.

In the original story, Luffy reached Skypiea in a very dangerous way by relying on the upwelling current. Yi Shuihan would naturally not use the same method. For him, it is not impossible to temporarily make the ship fly, and there is no need to rely on the upwelling current.

Since they were already there, Yi Shuihan decided to take a good stroll around Gaya to relax. The group walked leisurely through the forest, enjoying the fragrance of the earth, feeling relaxed and happy.

The wild beasts on the island posed no danger to Yi Shuihan and his companions; on the contrary, they worried that Yi Shuihan might accidentally kill them.

"Was this really a land of gold before? It doesn't look like it at all."

"Once you reach the Sky Island, you will see what the Golden Land is all about. Although only ruins remain, it is still quite amazing."

"Really? We'll have to take a good look then."

Yi Shuihan and Robin were discussing the Golden Land, while Hancock held Yi Shuihan's left arm with both hands, her face flushed, clearly lost in her own fantasy world.

The succubus, watching from the side, also felt an urge to take over one of Yi Shuihan's arms, but since Robin was almost right next to Yi Shuihan on the water's edge, she didn't make a move.

Hancock's two sisters faithfully performed their duties of protection, watching over Hancock from behind and ready to intervene whenever she was in danger.

"This is good enough." Yi Shuihan stopped the boat, estimating that taking off from here should take them not too far from the Sky Island.

"How do we get up there?"

Robin and the others looked at Yi Shuihan with curiosity, vaguely guessing what would happen next.

"Now comes the moment to witness a miracle. Everyone, keep your eyes wide open and don't blink," Yi Shuihan said mysteriously, then slightly raised his hand.
