Elder brother's garrison

"No way, Missouri, you've only just received your missile ship equipment. It's already amazing that you're so skilled at using it." Missouri was soaking wet, her clothes clinging to her skin. When they hugged, they could feel the touch of each other even more directly. Xiaobai greedily inhaled Missouri's scent. "If you were more skilled, the outcome might be very different."

"Putting the outcome aside, is it so common here to lure dogs in to kill them?" Pachina's voice rang out beside Xiaobai.

"Wow!" Xiaobai was startled by Pachina's voice and looked over in embarrassment.

The other deep-sea deans of the newbie garrison also arrived one after another. In the battle with Frederick the Great, although they were numerous, Frederick the Great's combat power was too strong. Even though the time was short, they all had some injuries. The injuries were not serious, but it was obvious that they were not as composed as before.

"Pachina, thank you." Xiaobai looked at Dean Shenhai who had rushed over and sincerely thanked them.

"Let's put aside the matter of gratitude for now. Can you tell me about that knife behind you?" Pachina interrupted Xiaobai's thanks, frowning and staring at the military knife behind Xiaobai with a puzzled look. "I saw your fight just now. How can an ordinary knife have such power?"

"what."

Xiaobai snapped out of her daze and took out the military knife from behind her.

"About this...actually, I also..."

Xiao Bai didn't know how to explain to Dean Shen Hai. She was stammering while holding the military knife when suddenly an arm reached out and grabbed the blade.

"Hey! Danger!" Xiaobai exclaimed immediately.

But it was too late; Xiaobai watched helplessly as the outstretched hand touched the blade.

"Huh?" Yamato, still gripping the blade, froze at Shiro's call, momentarily at a loss for words. "Uh... this, can't I touch this?"

"Huh?" Xiaobai's worried expression turned into confusion when he saw Shenhai Yamato's innocent expression.

Shiro looked at Yamato's fingers.

Yamato's fingers were gripping the blade of the saber, a weapon capable of easily cutting through ship-mounted sabers, yet in Yamato's hands it was like a toy, showing no lethality whatsoever.

He... wasn't injured?

Xiao Bai was surprised.

"No...it's nothing..." Xiaobai shook her head and replied subconsciously.

"Oh, okay, I thought I couldn't touch it." Yamato Fukami breathed a sigh of relief, then pinched the blade with his fingers and examined it from top to bottom. "This thing feels pretty light."

Pachina, standing to the side, frowned as she watched Akami Yamato's relaxed and calm demeanor. Not to be outdone, she reached out and touched the blade of the military knife.

Pachina's fair hand swept across the blade of the military knife.

I haven't really had any contact with it yet.

Sudden.

There was a flash of white light.

"hiss!"

Pachina winced in pain and withdrew his hand, squinting at his palm with one eye.

Before everyone's eyes, a rather deep wound was seen in the center of the palm of Pachina's hand, the hand that had just touched the military knife.

Chapter 2176 The Power of the Deep-Sea Assassin

Pachina gripped her wrist with one hand, wincing in pain and taking two steps back. Small streams of black blood flowed from the wound on her palm.

However, compared to the pain in his hand, Pachina's expression at this moment was more one of surprise and confusion.

“How could this be… Shenhai Yamato, she…” Pachina shifted her surprised gaze to Shenhai Yamato, especially to the palm of Shenhai Yamato’s hand that was in contact with the blade of the military knife.

Deep Sea Yamato stared blankly at Pachina's bleeding palm, blinking in disbelief.

"Ouch!"

Then, as if he himself felt the pain from Pachina, Yamato Fukami was so frightened that he quickly released the blade of his saber and took several steps back before raising his hand to look at his palm with lingering fear.

Unlike Pachina's blood-soaked palm, Deep Sea Yamato's palm was completely clean and unmarked.

"Huh? Hiss..." Yamato looked at his palm, puzzled.

Everyone present was also shocked by this bizarre scene.

But it took only a few seconds for everyone to realize what was happening.

"Pachina! How's your injury?"

"Quick, use deep-sea aura to heal... Ouch! There's no deep-sea aura left around here!"

"It's alright, it's alright, I still have an invincible rapid repair device!"

In a flurry, everyone pulled out green hats from their ship's storage space and put them on Pachina's head.

"Pachina, are you alright!" To avoid further accidental injury, Xiaobai quickly put the dagger behind her back and then leaned towards Pachina with a worried expression.

"It's nothing...just a minor injury." Pachina's delicate eyebrows furrowed. She opened her hand, revealing a large gash on her blood-stained palm that was slowly healing thanks to the rapid repair device. "More importantly...what's the meaning of this knife? Why can Deep Sea Yamato touch it so easily, but I can't?"

Pachina's voice sounded somewhat displeased; she seemed to care more about her dignity than about physical harm.

—Is this knife underestimating itself?

pachina is very unhappy.

pachina wants Xiaobai to give her an explanation.

But when faced with Pachina's inquiry, Xiaobai could only look embarrassed.

"I...I don't know either..." Xiaobai said to Pachina with a wry smile, "I thought no one but me could touch this knife, so I'm quite surprised that Yamato-neechan wasn't hurt when she touched it..."

"So it's because no one else can touch it?" Deep Sea Ryujo pursed his lips, looking curious. "I thought this knife was only for Pachina."

"Why don't you try it yourself to see what's going on?" Pachina said irritably, her face darkening.

“That makes sense!” Deep Sea Dragon rolled up its sleeves, revealing its fair and tender arms.

Before Xiaobai could react, Shenhai Longxiang nimbly circled behind Xiaobai and gently pointed his finger at the blade.

There was a flash of white light.

"Ouch!" Before her fingers could even touch the blade, Deep Sea Dragon swiftly withdrew her hand, showing her fingers to everyone with a look of surprise. "Look, it really is!"

Sure enough, a small wound appeared on the finger of the Deep Sea Dragon.

Compared to Pachina's wound, Deep Sea Dragon's wound this time was much smaller and almost negligible because it was prepared in advance.

The other Deep Sea Deans curiously gathered around, looking at the wound on Deep Sea Dragon's finger with astonishment.

"It seems the Admiral's sword can only harm those other than the Admiral, with Deepsea Yamato being the exception." Loki said, looking at the wound on Deepsea Ryujo's hand, as he took out a roll of gauze from his maid outfit and wrapped it around Deepsea Ryujo's finger. "Moreover, this sword seems to have the property of penetrating ship rigging and directly injuring the body. Even the strongest ship rigging field protection is useless. It is a very deadly weapon for us deep-sea creatures."

Loki bandaged the Deep Sea Dragon's wound and tied a bow on it.

“Hey, Loki…” Deep Sea Dragon looked at the bandage on his finger, “Why don’t you just give me a quick repair device?”

“The trauma is too minor; using a rapid repair device on such an injury would be a waste,” Loki replied. “Every rapid repair device in the naval base is purchased at great expense, so conservation is necessary.”

“…” Deep Sea Dragon pursed its lips.

"Then why didn't this knife hurt Deep Sea Yamato?" Pachina's injuries had been repaired by the rapid repair device. She casually tossed the green hat on her head aside, washed the bloodstains on her hands with seawater, and asked with a displeased expression.

"Yeah, yeah, why is that?" Yamato himself also came closer.

The eyes of all the deep-sea deans first fell on Xiaobai, but seeing the "I don't understand" expression on Xiaobai's face, they subconsciously moved to the face of the deep-sea Yamato.

"Deep Sea Yamato, what tricks did you play?" Pachina squinted as she interrogated Deep Sea Yamato.

"Huh? I didn't do anything!" Yamato Shinkai shook his head hurriedly, looking confused. "I just... I just... put my hand over normally."

As she spoke, Yamato Shinkai carefully extended her finger toward the military knife behind Shiro. Everyone watched as Yamato Shinkai's finger moved from near the knife, until it touched the knife, even lightly grazing the sharp blade, until finally her hand gripped the blade tightly, without her suffering any harm.

The other Deep Sea Deans, seeing this scene, became curious as well. They imitated Deep Sea Yamato's actions, unable to resist reaching out their fingers to approach the saber, but without exception, each of them was drawn blood by the saber.

Loki skillfully pulled out gauze from his maid outfit and bandaged the fingers of each of the Deep Sea Deans who were trying to handle the saber.

In just a short while, all the directors of the Deep Sea Academy present were injured.

Deep-sea creatures are like this; they are not particularly afraid of getting hurt. Their curiosity usually outweighs their fear of minor injuries.

After a round of trials, among the Deep Sea Deans present, apart from Loki who hadn't tried before, only Deep Sea Yamato could get close to Whitey's military knife. Anyone else who came into contact with the air surrounding the knife would be instantly cut, and the severity of the cut was related to the area and speed of contact.

Those who tried to grasp the blade directly, like pachina did before, ended up with a hard cut on their palms, while those who cautiously probed like other deep-sea deans only managed to cut their fingertips and suffer minor injuries.

"You guys think... is there a possibility, I mean, a possibility?" Finally, after trying a round of things, the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy finally turned their suspicious gazes to the wedding ring on Deep Sea Yamato's hand. "The reason Deep Sea Yamato isn't injured is because of her relationship with Shiro?"

"What?"

“Look, the biggest difference between us and Deep Sea Yamato is that we are the only ones who haven’t had that kind of relationship with Shiro, right? Shiro happens to be the owner of this knife. Is there a possibility that this knife recognized their relationship and then let Deep Sea Yamato go?”

"That's a lie. Even though Dahei has a wedding ring, she'll still get hurt."

"They're different. The Super Yamato ring is just a wedding ring, simply given to her to facilitate her undercover work, while the Deep Sea Yamato ring is one that she shared a bed with Shiro."

"Hiss—that makes sense."

"..."

The directors of the Deep Sea Academy were discussing and their eyes were shining as they looked at Deep Sea Yamato.

"Huh?!" This was the first time Yamato had ever been looked at like that by one of her own kind. She instinctively clutched her chest. "What are you going to do?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to verify it."

"Let's verify it then, why are you all staring at me like that!" Deep Sea Yamato took two steps back. "Besides, even if you come to a conclusion, how are you going to verify it? I can't just divorce Xiaobai on the spot!"

Yamato's words stunned the deep-sea deans present.

What Yamato Shinkai said also makes a lot of sense.

After a moment's thought, the deans of the deep sea slowly shifted their gazes, finally settling on Missouri beside Xiaobai.

"Missouri... seems to be Xiaobai's wedding ship too."

"But Missouri is a ship girl, she's not an Abyssal."

"Hiss... Well, why don't we give it a try first?"

"Huh? Missouri is coming?" Xiaobai was surprised and quickly looked towards Missouri.

The directors of the deep-sea institute discussed the matter, casting hopeful glances toward Missouri.

Previously, when the Deep Sea Deans were playing around with Little White, Missouri never participated, but simply stood aside, serving as the most harmonious background scene.

When Missouri noticed that all eyes were on her, she didn't react much. She just turned her head slightly and looked at Little White beside her.

"It seems the seniors are quite eager to see Missouri handle this saber," Missouri said with a smile. "Admiral, may I have a touch as well?"

"Uh..." Xiaobai was speechless for a moment.

Xiaobai really didn't want to see Missouri get hurt.

but……

Forget it.

As long as you don't grab it directly like a pachina, but are careful, the worst-case scenario is that your fingertip will be slightly cut, similar to the damage from a blood test at the hospital.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai did not object. He simply silently held the general's knife horizontally in his hand and handed it to Missouri.

"Then you can try it," Xiaobai said.

"Yes, ma'am." Missouri nodded with a smile.

Under everyone's gaze, Missouri slowly raised her hand, extended a finger, and slowly moved it toward the military knife.

Just as Missouri's fingers were about to approach the warning circle of the military knife, he suddenly opened his palm and, before anyone could react, gripped the blade of the knife.

Chapter 2177 The String Breaks

Missouri's movements were remarkably fluid. She neither sped up nor slowed down throughout the entire sequence. From extending just one finger to unfolding her fair palm, her movements were seamless. By the time everyone realized what she was doing, Missouri's hand was already gripping the sharp blade of the military knife.

Everyone was stunned.

Only Missouri, with a smile, slowly released her hand, showing everyone her unharmed palm.

"It seems the seniors were right, this military knife really won't hurt Missouri." Missouri smiled broadly.

“Missouri, Missouri, you really dare to do this…” The Deep Sea Deans stared in astonishment at Missouri’s expressionless face. “We told you to try it, meaning you should just touch it lightly with your finger. Nobody told you to hold it directly… Aren’t you afraid that if this knife doesn’t recognize you, your finger will be cut off by the blade…”

“How could that be?” Missouri said with a smile. “Actually, not only you seniors, but Missouri herself also has a bit of a idea. What I just did was to verify my own thoughts.”

"Oh, you..."

Looking at Missouri's expression, everyone was at a loss for words.

Xiao Bai was also startled by Missouri's sudden behavior, but seeing Missouri's unharmed hand, even though her heart had just been pounding with fear, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Missouri with a hint of reproach, "Missouri... don't do that next time."

"Mmm." Missouri stuck out the tip of her tongue at Little White.
