One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

"boom!"

A sound like metal clashing against metal rang out, and a violent gust of wind spread in all directions, blowing the weak over and knocking them off their feet, leaving them sprawled out in a sorry state.

Despite having long heard of Marshal Shura's unparalleled fighting prowess, and how even the old-era king Shiki the Golden Lion and the powerful Kaido of the Beasts had both fallen to this excessively young boy during his conquests, Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, still harbored a sliver of unwarranted hope.

Perhaps it is precisely because they had met once several years ago that Jinbe, the knight of the sea, has never believed that any human could have reached this point in just a few years, hence his unrealistic wishful thinking.

Only now, after truly coming into contact with Marshal Shura, has Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, suddenly realized that the rumors were true, and even became somewhat humble.

Even when Whitebeard sparred with him, he wouldn't risk using a single finger to defend himself!

It's important to know that you can't exert force properly with just one finger, especially when facing a larger object. Because the fingertip is only a small part, the pressure and destructive force it experiences are much stronger than when using your palm or fist to block!

In other words, Yang Ming's finger has been honed to an incredibly high level; when wrapped in Armament Haki, it is even harder than a diamond.

But if he thought that would scare away Jinbe, he wouldn't be Jinbe, because he already knew from the very beginning that he might never return!

"Fishman Karate! Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick!"

Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, suddenly twisted his waist and exerted force in mid-air. The spinning motion drew all his strength into his legs, which, wrapped in Armament Haki, swept towards Yang Ming like a battering ram.

Chapter 383 A Gift for Whitebeard

"Fishman Karate! Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick!"

Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, suddenly twisted his waist and exerted force in mid-air. The spinning motion drew all his strength into his legs, which, wrapped in Armament Haki, swept towards Yang Ming like a battering ram.

This whip kick produced a piercing, cracking sound.

The entire sequence of moves was executed flawlessly, demonstrating that Jinbe's mastery of Fishman Karate had reached an unprecedented level, truly deserving of his former title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. His fighting skills alone were enough to allow him to roam the seas freely.

Unfortunately, the enemy he is facing now is no ordinary opponent, but Fleet Admiral Shura of the Marine Headquarters!

With a "snap," Yang Ming transformed his fingers into claws, and with a flick of his wrist, he precisely gripped Jinbe's ankle, his five fingers forming a claw that held it firmly. In that instant, Yang Ming seemed to get bored, and with a jerk of his shoulder, he flung Jinbe away with his right hand.

This change happened far too quickly.

Before King Neptune and his entourage could react, they saw a dark figure fly backward at an even faster speed than it had come, leaving behind a trail of turbulent ocean currents in front of them. Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, then crashed heavily into the wall of the Dragon Palace, causing the entire wall to collapse and burying Jinbe's figure under a large amount of rubble.

Upon seeing this, Jinbe and his gang of followers were terrified.

"Boss Jinbe! Are you alright?"

These underlings were indeed loyal. Instead of running away at this moment, they rushed up, moved and cleared away the rubble, and helped the slightly disheveled knight Jinbe to his feet.

Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, had a slight wound on his forehead, looked somewhat haggard, his chest heaved violently, and he would occasionally lower his head and cough, spitting out phlegm mixed with blood.

When the group of underlings saw that Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, had suffered such serious injuries, they looked at each other in shock.

It should be noted that fish-men are naturally stronger than humans, and Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, is one of the best among them. He trains in the deep sea year-round and can withstand cannon fire without flinching. Yet now, he has suffered such severe injuries simply from being thrown out of the sea, which is truly baffling to them.

Jinbe, the knight-errant, did not offer much explanation to those around him who were surprised.

In reality, only the person directly involved, Jinbe, could truly feel the terror of the Asura Marshal before him. The moment he was thrown away, he was struck by Yang Ming's lightning-fast uppercut. The movement was so fast that he could only vaguely see a blue arc of electricity flashing before he felt heavy blows to all parts of his body, with varying degrees of damage to his internal organs.

Yang Ming sat leisurely in his seat, looking at this loyal and righteous man with a half-smile.

To be honest, if he hadn't admired Jinbe's character and hadn't been a friend of his good brother Ace, Yang Ming would have taken him down on the spot.

However, capturing Fire Fist Ace and using the opportunity to launch the Marineford War is the most important part of Yang Ming's series of plans, and he absolutely cannot allow anyone to disrupt it. If Jinbe continues to be relentless, he will have no choice but to temporarily detain Jinbe in the Deepsea Impel Down to let him calm down a bit.

Yang Ming took out a gift box from his spatial ring, flipped his hand and slapped the table. With a clever use of force, the gift box flew out and rushed straight towards the Hai Xia Shen Ping's face.

His eyes narrowed, and the moment Jinbe reached out to grab the gift box, the force surrounding it made his hand go numb, filling him with horror.

"In just a few short years, that monstrous genius has grown to this extent; it's truly terrifying!"

As Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, was still in shock, he heard Yang Ming's calm voice in his ear:

"Jinbe, we've met once before, this is a gift for Whitebeard. Please give my regards to him."

Jinbe, the knight of the sea, weighed the gift box in his hand and found it to be much lighter than he had imagined, almost like there was nothing there. He was filled with doubts, wondering what this Marshal Shura was up to.

However, the group of fish-man underlings around him, being less educated and less knowledgeable, thought that Yang Ming was humiliating Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, and they all offered their suggestions:

"Boss Jinbe, we mustn't fall for Marshal Shura's womanizing scheme!"

"Exactly, there must be some shady conspiracy hidden here!"

Ignoring the suggestions of these brilliant and talented individuals, Jinbe silently accepted the gift box. Feeling powerless to fight any longer, he pursed his lips and noticed the meaningful smile on Yang Ming's face. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but recall their meeting several years ago.

At that time, the World Government was about to grant Jinbe the title of Shichibukai in order to ease the racial conflict between humans and fish-men, and at the same time to win over this powerful fighter to the World Government's side in order to counterbalance the Navy and the Four Emperors.

At that time, Yang Ming was just a student taking his graduation exams at the Naval Academy in the deep-sea prison.

But Jinbe, the knight of the sea, never forgot what Yang Ming had said to him back then:

"Race does not represent honor..."

"I have seen the noblest fish-men and the most despicable humans."

From that moment on, Jinbe, the knight of the sea, understood that this young man was no ordinary genius.

***, when it encounters wind and clouds, it transforms into a dragon.

Sure enough, in just a few years, this young man traversed a path that most naval personnel had never taken, rising all the way to become the Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

Will the boy who uttered those words back then really become the ruthless marshal who doesn't care about family ties?

As a friend of Fire Fist Ace, Jinbe naturally understood that Ace was Yang Ming's friend, and the more he understood, the more confused he became.

At this moment, his heart wavered.

"Marshal Shura..." Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, paused for a moment, then asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "May I ask why you publicly executed the Ace brothers?"

That's a really stupid question.

Let alone the fact that there are too many people and too much gossip here, Yang Ming couldn't say anything.

Even if it were just the two of them, Yang Ming would never say it. Once he revealed his plan, it would be earth-shattering, leaving many people stunned.

Seeing that Yang Ming maintained a mysterious smile throughout and didn't answer his question, this was actually the best answer. Jinbe sighed silently, clenched his fist, and said in a deep voice:

"I will pass on the gift you sent to my father, but given the current tension between you and the Whitebeard Pirates, I cannot guarantee whether he will accept it. I hope you can understand."

Chapter 384 I once killed a man in ten steps, but I was defeated by a single look from you.

Seeing that Yang Ming maintained a mysterious smile throughout and did not answer his question, which was the best answer, Jinbe sighed silently, clenched his fist, and said in a deep voice:

"I will pass on the gift you sent to my father, but given the current tension between you and the Whitebeard Pirates, I cannot guarantee whether he will accept it. I hope you can understand."

After leaving those words, Jinbe, the knight of the sea, left the Dragon Palace somewhat disheveled, supported and surrounded by his underlings.

Throughout the entire process, the Neptune guards stationed in the Dragon Palace acted as if they were blind, making no attempt to stop them at all, as if they hadn't seen them at all.

This scene, witnessed by King Neptune, caused him a pang of pain.

No matter the era or the kingdom, the thing that a king fears most is that his subordinates become too powerful and overshadow him.

Jinbe, the knight-errant, once served as the leader of Neptune's army, clearly reaching a point where his achievements overshadowed his lord.

He can enter and leave the Dragon Palace without hindrance today, and he can take King Neptune's head without hindrance tomorrow.

Of course, given Jinbe's personality, he would never do such a thing.

Unfortunately, when the king suspects you, he doesn't need any reason, nor is it because he has any doubts; it's simply because he possesses such power.

King Neptune was secretly grateful for Yang Ming's arrival and had already decided that once the navy arrived, he would use the entire treasury of the Dragon Palace Kingdom to fund the construction of the naval branch in the shortest possible time and to help them recruit local fishmen as soldiers.

Thinking this to himself, King Neptune turned his head and saw his beloved daughter, the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, nestled against the back of Yang Ming's head, her beautiful eyes sparkling like stars.

King Neptune, being an experienced man, naturally understood that this was his youngest daughter's budding romance and growing affection for Marshal Shura. His heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding arose within him.

"Could it be that the cabbage I painstakingly cultivated is going to be eaten by the pigs of the navy?"

It's no wonder that the three brothers, including the eldest prince of Shark Star, are all doting on their sisters; they clearly inherited this doting sentiment from King Neptune.

If it were an ordinary young talent, King Neptune might have sternly turned him away.

But Yang Ming is no ordinary person.

Besides, Yang Ming is so outstanding, it doesn't seem like a bad thing that his daughter likes him.

For a moment, King Neptune was caught in a dilemma, experiencing both pain and pleasure.

Princess Bai Xing, who had spent most of her time in the Dragon Palace, had never witnessed anything so interesting before. She kept pestering Yang Ming, her voice sweet as she said:

"Brother Yang Ming, do you have any other interesting stories? Tell me quickly, okay?"

Two snow-white arms wrapped around Yang Ming's neck. Feeling the soft, fluffy sensation on the back of his head, he looked up and saw strands of smooth pink hair falling down, tickling his cheeks. The mermaid princess Bai Xing's smooth chin, long neck, and those alluring peaks didn't seem so far away after all.

Yang Ming felt that the mermaid princess Shirahoshi was as innocent and lovely as a girl next door. The negative emotions that had accumulated from his travels over the past few days seemed to melt away, and he felt much better in an instant. So he patiently told Shirahoshi stories, from seeking justice for Enies Lobby in Water 7 to hunting down Don Quixote Family executives all over the world. The new things and cultural geography they encountered along the way were all legendary stories that Shirahoshi had never heard before.

Whenever Yang Ming got to the point of his storytelling, the mermaid princess Bai Xing would cover her mouth with both hands and let out a gasp.

The fish tail beneath her, seemingly due to excessive excitement, went from swaying repeatedly at first to wrapping itself around Yang Ming's waist.

At this moment, Yang Ming finally felt Sanji's happiness.

No wonder gentlemen all over the world love mermaids; there's a reason for it.

The mermaid princess Shirahoshi's fishtail has smooth lines, neither too fat nor too thin, and each scale on it is clearly visible. It is about the size of a baby's palm. The moment the fishtail wrapped around Yang Ming's waist, it gave people a plump and soft feeling, and you could even feel the mermaid princess Shirahoshi's body temperature gradually rising.

When Yang Ming placed his hand on the mermaid princess Shirahoshi's fishtail, she was listening to the story with complete absorption and was completely unaware.

As her fingertips caressed the fish scales, a jolt of electricity traveled through Princess Shirahoshi's mind, and she let out a soft moan.

Yang Ming thought the mermaid princess Shirahoshi was unwell, so he turned around and asked:

Don't you like it when I touch your fishtail?

"No...that's not the case..."

Princess Bai Xing quickly lowered her head, using her cascading pink bangs to conceal her blushing face, seemingly afraid that if she rejected Yang Ming, he would stop telling her interesting stories. She quickly placed her hand on the back of Yang Ming's hand and said softly:

"If it's Brother Yang Ming... I... I can accept it!"

Towards the end, Princess Shirahoshi's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

Hearing Princess Shirahoshi's words, Yang Ming, unfamiliar with the customs of the mermaid race, naturally felt nothing.

On the contrary, King Neptune, as the old father, almost had his eyes pop out of their sockets, his heart was pounding so hard he was on the verge of a heart attack. He quickly drank several mouthfuls of seawater to barely suppress his turbulent emotions.

Among the mermaid race, the mermaid's tail is equivalent to the human's legs, and the fish tail has many of the mermaid's nervous system, which makes mermaids much more sensitive than humans.
