"Kid, I'll admit you're good enough! Let me see just how far you can go." With that, Rayleigh turned and left, and the battle ended abruptly.

"Uh, if we're just leaving like this, then where should I go now..." Yi Shuihan was also a little confused for a moment.

Since there was no need to deal with Roger's funeral arrangements, Yi Shuihan thought of the Warring States' attempt to recruit him. Should he go?

The benefits of going are obvious: all kinds of training and cultivation methods will be readily available, collecting Devil Fruits with the help of the Navy will become much easier, and you won't have to worry about being wanted as a pirate.

After only a moment's thought, Yi Shuihan made a decision: to go, to go without hesitation. Although the navy may have its dark side, he hadn't seen it yet. When that time came, he would decide what to do based on his own feelings. In short, joining first and getting the benefits was the right thing to do.

Yi Shuihan, who is considered to be part of the so-called black and white camps, is quite open-minded. He doesn't think that pirates are necessarily bad or that the navy is necessarily good. Ultimately, good and bad depend on people's hearts, and it's useless to be bound by appearances.

Besides, this is a real faction. In the end, most pirates are bad. Only a few, like Luffy, pursue their dreams. They are considered outliers among pirates.

On the contrary, the navy is mostly used to protect civilians; without the navy, the world would truly be in chaos.

Well, I definitely didn't want to join because of that promise of becoming a major general immediately.

Having made up his mind, Yi Shuihan did not immediately go to find Zhan Guo, but returned to his own ship. Anyway, there were still two days left, so he would go on the last day. This way, it would seem like he had been thinking about it for a long time. Being too hasty would not be good.

Over the next two days, Yi Shuihan explained what would happen after he left, and then gave the boat to the three people who bought it, letting them do whatever they wanted with it, whether they sold it or did something else, he didn't care.

He couldn't bring ordinary people with him when he joined the navy. As for the money he spent, he didn't care. Once he became a major general, these things would be nothing to him.

When Yi Shuihan came to join them, he was naturally warmly welcomed. Zhan Guo personally received him and immediately told him that he could come to him with any problems he had in the navy. As for the issue of the Rear Admiral, he made a full guarantee.

And so, Yi Shuihan embarked on the journey back to the naval headquarters with Zhan Guo.

At this time, Sengoku was still a general, but it was said that he would soon be promoted to naval admiral. Yi Shuihan himself did not know when he was promoted. Besides, it was normal for the real world to change a little, so he did not pay attention to it.

Since Sengoku is still an admiral, then the trio of Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu are naturally still vice admirals, albeit in a special way, as they will only be promoted once the current admiral steps down.

"What? You're only 11 years old?" When everyone learned Yi Shuihan's true physical age, they were shocked, and their attention to Yi Shuihan increased even further.

Soon, information about Yi Shuihan was presented to the Five Elders. Faced with such a monstrous genius who had joined their side, the Five Elders ordered that he be carefully nurtured. If he could maintain his loyalty, the positions of Admiral and Fleet Admiral could be considered in the future.

"I wonder how they'll arrange my position?" Yi Shuihan had considered this when he revealed his age. He knew that the more potential he had, the more attention he would receive, and the better things would come his way.

On the other hand, it's good to be high-profile when necessary, otherwise you might offend all sorts of petty thugs.

After following Sengoku and the others to the Navy, Yi Shuihan was temporarily sidelined until a week later when he was summoned to meet with the current Fleet Admiral, Kong, presumably because his future had already been decided.

There were six people in front of Yi Shuihan: Fleet Admiral Kong, Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Zephyr, another admiral whom Yi Shuihan did not recognize, the special Vice Admiral Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru, who could be called the naval strategist.

Standing before a group of powerful figures, Yi Shuihan remained neither arrogant nor humble, showing none of the pressure one would feel when facing the Navy's top combat forces.

"What a handsome young man!" Sora looked at this young man, who had been mentioned by Sengoku countless times and had even been the subject of several discussions, and had to admit that he was indeed a man of exceptional talent.

Since no one else spoke, Yi Shuihan naturally kept quiet as well, and he didn't know what to say either.

"You must be Yi Shuihan! As expected of a young hero, your strength is astonishing at such a young age, and you are full of righteousness. You slew the Pirate King to rid the people of a scourge. Now that you have joined our Navy, we are very happy to welcome you. The Navy is exactly what we need: a person with a strong sense of justice like you..."

First, they showered Yi Shuihan with praise and brainwashing, portraying the Navy as a righteous force and how wonderful it would be to join it. An average 11-year-old would definitely be completely fooled.

"...We have three options for where you will go next," Kong paused here, giving Yi Shuihan some time to process the information.

The main event was finally here. Yi Shuihan was startled, but on the surface, he pretended to be all ears.

Chapter 19, Confirming the Stay

"The first option is for you to stay at Marine Headquarters, where you will be trained by a dedicated instructor for three years before being assigned to another post; the second option is to choose a branch in one of the four seas as a commander for training; the last option is to go to the New World to capture pirates." After Kong finished speaking, he quietly waited for Yi Shuihan's choice.

There are three options. The first one is the easiest: just quietly improve your strength at the Navy Headquarters. The downside is that without merit, there is no way to get promoted quickly. But Yi Shuihan is still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities for promotion in the future.

The second option is to accumulate seniority, and when the time comes, there will naturally be opportunities for promotion. Alternatively, you can become a local tyrant, which offers more freedom, but it doesn't significantly improve your strength.

The last option is more adventurous. The New World is currently in chaos and has not yet achieved the stability of the Four Emperors. There are many strong pirates and great pirates at this time. If you really want to capture pirates, even if you are an admiral, the danger is not small.

Of course, combat is always the fastest way to improve one's strength. If you can persevere, it will definitely improve much faster than training silently at the Marine Headquarters.

Furthermore, as long as you can capture more powerful pirates, your advancement speed will be much faster than being sent to the four seas.

Having figured out the key points, Yi Shuihan immediately ruled out the second option. Although he could cultivate on his own, it would be much slower without guidance.

Yi Shuihan hesitated between the first and third choices, but quickly made a decision.

"I choose option 1, to temporarily train at headquarters to improve my strength."

"I see! Then let Zephyr teach you. He's quite good at this." Kong said kindly, quite satisfied with Yi Shuihan's choice. The fact that he chose to stay at headquarters showed that he was truly committed to the Navy. It would also be convenient for him to be closely monitored and brainwashed at headquarters.

Seeing the fleeting satisfaction in Kong's eyes, Yi Shuihan knew he had made the right choice and would likely receive significant training in the future.

Yi Shuihan had no objection to having Zephyr as his teacher. Although Zephyr wasn't the strongest, his teaching skills were exceptional. He had produced a large number of powerful individuals, including Aokiji and Akainu.

To Yi Shuihan's surprise, he had originally planned to focus on his training, mastering the Haki and the Six Styles, without worrying about the Devil Fruit or earning training points.

Unexpectedly, the system released a bunch of tasks on the very night I made my choice, and they were the kind of tasks that were practically free.

"Cultivation Task 1: Increase your strength to 10 points. Reward: 200 cultivation points. Penalty: None."

"Cultivation Task Two: Increase speed to 10 points. Reward: 200 cultivation points. Penalty: None."

"Cultivation Task 3: Raise your Spirit to 5 points. Reward: 200 Cultivation Points, 10 Fusion Points. Penalty: None."

"Cultivation Quest Four (Repeatable): Learn a new skill and level it up to Mastery (skills gained using cultivation points do not count). Reward: 100 cultivation points. Penalty: None."

Four tasks, one of which is a repeatable task for farming points, perfectly suited Yi Shuihan's wishes. You see, his next goal is to learn skills and improve his basic attributes, so doing tasks is just a side thing, plus there are no penalties for doing them.

"It seems the system knows that mental strength is hard to increase, which is why it only gave me a standard of 5 points!" Yi Shuihan thought to himself as he looked at the attribute list in front of him.

Name: Yi Shuihan

Lifespan: 1199

Power: 63

Speed: 25

Spirit: 17

skill:

Black Iron: Chopping (Mastery), Basic Movement (Mastery), Basic Fist Techniques (Mastery), Basic Leg Techniques (Mastery), Fishing (Mastery), Basic Swordsmanship (Perfect), Forging (Minor Mastery), Water Skills (Perfect), Fishing (Mastery)

Bronze: Language (Perfect), Instant Flash (Extraordinary), Burst Aura (Perfect), Personal BGM (Perfect)

silver:

Cultivation Points: 60; Fusion Points: 10

Overall combat strength: 92 points (Taking a step towards becoming a strongman)

Strength is 37 points short, speed is 75 points short, and spirit is 33 points short. Strength is the easiest to reach the target, speed is a bit more troublesome, and spirit is probably even more troublesome than speed.

Strength can be easily achieved by honing the body and practicing the Iron Block technique in the Six Styles. Speed ​​can also be improved by practicing the Shave technique in the Six Styles. However, he doesn't know how to improve his spirit. Yi Shuihan can only hope that his spirit will increase when he awakens his domineering aura.

The next day, Yi Shuihan was taken by Zefa to a special training ground.

Yi Shuihan wasn't the only one being taught; Zephyr had other disciples as well. He also saw Smoker, Tina, a prison inmate, and some other unfamiliar faces.

Of course, Zefa also knew that Yi Shuihan was exceptionally strong, and he did not intend to put him together with these people. He didn't even introduce him to them. They just trained together in the same place.

"Who is he?!" Many people were quite curious about Yi Shuihan, the newcomer.

"Are they the teacher's new students? But why aren't they with us?"

"..."

Regardless of their opinions of Yi Shuihan, things have changed on Yi Shuihan's side.

"What are your skills?" Zefa asked, wanting to know about Yi Shuihan's situation.

Yi Shuihan thought for a moment, "Some basic combat skills, some swordsmanship, a few burst skills, and, well, one more mystery skill."

He genuinely didn't know how to describe it, and if possible, he even wanted Zephyr to just look at his attribute panel.

Zefa frowned slightly at Yi Shuihan's words, but he could tell that Yi Shuihan was probably not just being perfunctory.

“In that case, let’s have a fight. Use everything you know so I can figure out how to teach you,” Zephyr said.

There is no doubt that combat is the fastest way to understand a person's fighting ability.

"Ding, the scenario meets the requirements, system task issued:"

Name: Defeat or draw with Zeff

Mission Description: Zephyr wants to understand your situation through combat, to give you a warning and show you that there are always stronger opponents. As the system host, how can you tolerate this? Defeat or fight Zephyr to a draw.

Reward: Defeating Zephyr grants 100 training points; a draw grants 50 training points.

Failure penalty: One skill will randomly drop by one level.

"

The system had spoken, so what could Yi Shuihan say? He could only defy it and make a gesture of invitation to Zefa, saying, "Then I'll trouble you!"

Chapter 20, Rank A! Not Rank C?

Zefa doesn't use a sword, so naturally he couldn't teach Yi Shuihan swordsmanship. Therefore, Yi Shuihan didn't bring a sword either, and they are definitely fighting bare-handed now.

While the Flash can only unleash its full power when a sword is present, it doesn't mean it's useless without a sword. Yi Shuihan doesn't want to become someone whose combat power drops by more than half when he's without a sword.

In order to let Zefa know his true situation so that he could formulate an accurate training plan, Yi Shuihan was not going to hold back at all. In addition to the background music, he even used his burst energy.

"Not bad speed and power, but still too green!" He easily repelled Yi Shui Han Ze Fa with a single punch.

"Again!" With a loud shout, Yi Shuihan and Zefa clashed once again.

The two figures kept shifting positions on the training ground, creating a scene reminiscent of a martial arts movie battle, leaving the young men and women watching around them dumbfounded.

"Hey! No way? He's actually that strong, able to fight Zephyr to this extent."

"Is he really about our age?"

"monster!"

Even Smoker's face was solemn. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that his opponent was stronger than him, and by a significant margin. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

The only thing that comforted Smoker was that he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, while the other person was just an ordinary person.

"Wow! Tina can be this amazing too?" The girl Tina standing to the side had pink hair, a face as delicate as a porcelain doll, and a standard beautiful figure. Although she was still very young, it was already clear how stunning she would be when she grew up.

The battle lasted for nearly 5 minutes and ended in a draw. This was partly due to Yi Shuihan's considerable strength, and partly because Zefa hadn't used his full strength, as it was just a casual sparring match.

"Alright, I have a general idea of ​​your strength now, and I will use that to plan your training." Zefa looked at Yi Shuihan, who was slightly out of breath, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. To have such strength at such a young age, I really don't know how far he will grow in the future.

A draw? Oh well! Beating him is indeed a bit difficult for me right now.

“Teacher Zefa, I’ve heard of a power called domineering aura. I wonder if you know it?” Yi Shuihan asked casually.

Zefa was taken aback, but then a proud expression appeared on his face. He was known as the "King of the Hill," a man who excelled in his studies and whose academic performance was outstanding. He was a true master of his craft, a man of exceptional talent and ability. He was confident in his abilities and knowledge. Zefa was a man of great talent and ability, a man who could achieve anything. He was a man of exceptional talent and ability, a man who could achieve anything.

So, you mean around 10 points in Strength, 4 points in Speed, and he probably won't be able to sense the difference in Spirit, but 2 points should be enough.

"I see! So what should I do now?" Yi Shuihan asked.

Zefa pondered for a moment and said, "Go to the equipment room and get a set of A-grade cultivation equipment first. I'll tell you what to do when you come back."

"Equipment room?"

“Uh, I forgot where you are? I’ll have someone take you there, Tina! Come here for a second.” Zephyr waved to someone not far away.

"Is there something you need, Teacher Zefa?" Tina asked curiously, looking at Yi Shuihan standing next to Zefa. Yi Shuihan responded with a smile.

"Take him to the equipment room and get a set of Grade A training equipment."

"Okay! Please follow me."

Walking side by side with Tina, they left the training ground.

"I'm Tina, what's your name?" Tina's eyes blinked, she looked very cute.

“Yi Shuihan!” Yi Shuihan said coolly.

"What a strange name. Oh well, you must be a student of Teacher Zefa too. You're really amazing, using A-grade training equipment. Mine is only C-grade."

"Grade A? What's the difference?"

"Oh! I forgot you're new here, so it's normal that you don't know. The so-called cultivation equipment is something unique to this place. It's a kind of equipment that is provided according to the cultivator's strength. It's an aid to cultivation and is divided into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D. Level S corresponds to general or lieutenant general, level A corresponds to lieutenant general or major general, level B corresponds to major general or colonel, level C corresponds to colonel or lieutenant colonel, and level D corresponds to lieutenant colonel or major."

"You're A-rank, which means your strength is equivalent to major general to lieutenant general, while I'm barely a lieutenant colonel. You're about my age, how come you're so strong?"

After Tina finished speaking, her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Yi Shuihan, clearly showing her respect and worship for his great strength.

"Well, it just gets the same as it gets with practice." Actually, if it weren't for the system, I might not even be as good as you. Of course, I didn't say that out loud.

Yi Shuihan wasn't surprised that he was using A-grade equipment, because aside from Instant Flash and Burst Aura, he would probably barely qualify as a Major General. The skill's enhancement to him was simply too great.

"Tina is disappointed. You didn't lie to me, did you?" Tina was clearly dissatisfied with Yi Shuihan's answer.
