Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 114 Yingchu
When Guan Yi had arranged everything and returned to Cake Island, it was already a week later.

Alvida and the others were sent to the Revolutionary Army headquarters by Guan Yi to serve as a link between Guan Yi and the Revolutionary Army, and also to allow the Revolutionary Army to temporarily protect them. The Dark-Dark Fruit was also taken by Dragon.

Guan Yi even took the opportunity to visit the future island of Egerhead, where she met with Vegapunk, a man who was 500 years ahead of the world, and took away all the medical information about Bonnie, the daughter of the giant bear.

Surprisingly, the sea was calm. Morgans, who had made too many big news stories, was probably really being watched by the Five Elders this time. There was not much information about the secret execution of Alvida and others, or about the destruction of Marine Headquarters and the killing of Akainu.

Of course, such a major event, even if deliberately concealed, will spread throughout the country in less than a month.

However, to Guan Yi's surprise, the first thing he heard upon returning to Whole Cake Island was unexpected news: "Kaido has gone missing?"

"That happened a week ago."

Before Guan Yi, Katakuri confirmed, "Kaido and his subordinates have been keeping the Den Den Mushi open to inform you of the progress of the investigation in Elbaf and to find out if there is any news from your side."

But since a week ago, it seems all of Kaido's Den Den Mushi have been destroyed, and no messages have been transmitted anymore.

Guan Yi frowned slightly and looked at the plan.

[Life Points: 228850]

His actions, such as killing Akainu, changing the fate of Kuma and his daughter, and letting Dragon take the Dark-Dark Fruit, brought Guan Yi a huge amount of life points, allowing his life points to break through the 200,000 mark for the second time.

The most life points were gained from killing Akainu, comparable to Teach not being able to eat the Dark-Dark Fruit.

After all, Akainu was originally a future Fleet Admiral, someone who could survive to the 'final round'.

However, compared to him, Kaido's influence is not much less. Although there are two instances of income exceeding 10,000 life points that cannot be accurately matched, Kaido cannot possibly be worth only a little over 10,000.

"It should be fine."

After thinking for a moment, Guan Yi said, "He might just be held back by some troubles. If he hasn't returned by the time I recover, I'll go again."

With his physique, the injuries inflicted by Kizaru have recovered by 60% within a week, and it is estimated that he will be fully recovered in another week.

Katakuri nodded slightly. He wasn't in a hurry, but Kaido's subordinates who remained on Whole Cake Island were somewhat anxious. After all, with the example of their mother being framed by the World Government, they were genuinely worried that Kaido might also be assassinated by the World Government in some despicable way.

"Is Lingling still not recovered?"

"No, and there's no sign of him regaining his memories. Perhaps in the short term..."

Guan Yi nodded: "Let her recover slowly. We won't go to war with the World Government for now. Katakuri, let me ask you something. You can now fully mobilize the resources of Whole Cake Island, right?"

"...That's right, what do you want to do?"

"Lend me some money to spend," Guan Yi said with a smile.

"Borrow money?" Katakuri was taken aback, his eyes wide with astonishment. How could a man like you possibly be short of money? "What's the amount?"

"Around 350 billion pegories, in cash."

"?!!"

Unfortunately, the activation requirement for the 13th infrastructure project is 500 billion Berries, and Guan Yi still has a funding gap of 320 billion. They've already used the Golden Bell to take away most of Doflamingo's cash flow, so even if they ask him for money again, Doflamingo probably won't be able to come up with it anytime soon.

Aside from the World Government and the national treasuries of various major powers, there aren't many other forces that could afford this amount. Whole Cake Island is indeed one of them, after all, it's a country that the Pirate Emperor Charlotte Linlin has run for decades, and she also enjoys receiving gifts.

However, it would be difficult to come up with 350 billion peggs in cash all at once.

It took Katakuri five whole days to deliver the thick stack of Berries to Guan Yi. He didn't even ask Guan Yi what he wanted to do, but simply said, "There's still no news from Kaido's side."

"Then something must have happened," Guan Yixin said.

Since the Five Elders and Grimm weren't seen at Marine Headquarters, they were most likely off to deal with Kaido. Guan Yi had initially thought that even if Kaido were surrounded by such a force, he would at least have the ability to escape, but now it seems…

Were they trapped? Or even arrested?

Without life points, there can be no death.

"I'll be heading to Elbaf tomorrow to investigate. Be careful around Whole Cake Island."

Katakuri said solemnly, "Yes, you should also be careful. If even Kaido of the Beasts is in trouble, the World Government will definitely have a trap set up and be waiting for you in Elbaf."

“I know,” Guan Yi said.

Isn't this already being prepared?

[Wealth: 503.7 billion]

[Life Points: 234309] [Can spend 500 billion Berries to activate the 13th infrastructure upgrade]

[You can spend 100000 Life Points to activate the fifth international superstar interaction]

We will fight to sustain our strength and grow ever stronger!
What if I use up all my wealth and life points and then fight all five elders by myself?
Spend 100000 Life Points to activate the fifth International Superstar Interaction!

……

[Physical Peak Ascension Progress: 80%]

[Gain a 80% bonus to physical fitness]

After nearly a year of battlefield training, during which he also had several minor clashes with the impatient Yujiro Hanma, Guan Yi increased his progress in reaching the pinnacle of his physique to 80%, achieving another improvement.

However, instead of immediately activating the sixth international superstar interaction, he first used 500 billion Berry to gain a year of independent training time.

This time, however, he did not go back to his master's house.

Teito University Hospital, Japan.

More than eight years later, Guan Yi met the "murderous doctor" Ying Chu again.

“Hmm, this is a really troublesome illness. It doesn’t seem like a genetic disease caused by autonomous gene mutation. It’s more like the result of some kind of inhumane human experimentation…” Ying Chu examined the information about Bonnie’s Jade Scale Disease that Guan Yi had given him for a while and said, “This patient is also very interesting. Logically speaking, she should have died long ago, but her physique… is dozens of times stronger than that of an ordinary martial artist.”

He looked at Guan Yi and said, "The instruments that measured these things are also very unique, both retro and advanced. Are they some kind of secret experiments in China?"

Guan Yi replied without changing his expression, "No, I found it after I destroyed an American research institute."

Where is the patient?

"It's not very convenient to bring it over."

“I see…” Yingchu frowned slightly.

"That's a bit troublesome, so... what kind of payment do you plan to offer me for remotely treating a patient with such a complicated condition?"

"Can it be cured? If it can be cured, that's good."

Guan Yi smiled and said, "As for the payment, how about I give you some ideas?"

Yingchu was taken aback, her eyes brightening slightly. She circled around Guan Yi, looking him up and down, and said, "I noticed as soon as I saw you that you were different from before. This terrifying muscle arrangement is almost like a species change compared to the Kengan Deathmatch!"
You, a martial artist, wouldn't accept human modification, would you? This is the result of natural training? Since you've brought it up, I won't hold back!

He wasn't a freak scientist, but he enjoyed constantly exploring the boundaries of medicine. Even without any compensation, he would study the Qingyulin disease that piqued his interest, and it was even better that Guan Yi, such a valuable subject, had come to him for this purpose.

"Don't mention it, and could you do me another favor while you're at it?"

Guan Yi then pulled out a photograph from his pocket; the photograph showed someone's broad back.

However, compared to normal people, this person's back muscles are arranged in a strange way, forming a ghost face shape, which is simply the embodiment of a demon's face!

Its entire latissimus dorsi muscle forms a clearly defined demonic face. The upper edges of the latissimus dorsi muscles on both sides form the demon's raised brow bones and eye sockets, while the bulging muscle group in the middle forms the nose and fangs of the demonic face. In addition, each muscle fiber is extremely swollen and angular, and the separation of the muscles reaches an inhuman level, with veins coiling around the muscles like writhing dragons.

Even when viewed through still photos, a sense of oppression is palpable. The muscles in the photos seem to surge and throb violently with life, as if a demon is truly sealed beneath them, eager to break free.

"Is this human?" Yingchu blurted out.

Guan Yi shook his head; he was a Fanma Xingren.

This photo was taken during an international celebrity interaction a year earlier, where Guan Yi asked Yujiro Hanma to show his back so he could take a picture. For this, Guan Yi even got punched by Yujiro Hanma again.

This man's innate talent reached a terrifying level. Even now, even after reaching 80% of his physical peak, Guan Yi can still feel the obvious gap between them.

With the real battle against him drawing ever closer, Guan Yi had no choice but to think of a way to improve faster!
"How can I develop a back like this through exercise?" Guan Yi asked Ying Chu.

"It's impossible under any circumstances."

After a moment of silence, Yingchu shook her head: "If this is the back of a real person, it should be an innate physiological structural variation that cannot be replicated through training."

"I really want to see him..." Yingchu slowly revealed an excited smile: "Guanyi, you're really greedy. Not only do you want me to treat your difficult patients, but you also want me to help you take another step forward on your martial arts path. But... no problem!"

He held the photo in his hand and said, "Although I can't reproduce this thing, I'm still very interested in using a martial artist like you to explore the limits of the human body. Besides... the potential of the human body may not be inferior to that of monsters. Since you've asked me to do this, be prepared to explore the boundaries of humanity!"
