One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

When Yang Ming helped Karp with official business, he saw a list of people because Karp had the power to promote his subordinates.

Vergo, who belongs to the Don Quixote family, joined the Navy Headquarters four years ago and was promoted to Rear Admiral last year due to his accumulated merits.

Yang Ming sighed, rubbing his forehead, and roughly understood the cause and effect.

Surprisingly, Foxy the Silver Fox, who seemed like an insignificant minor character in the original work, actually plays such an important role.

Yang Ming did not tell Kap and Chief Instructor Zephyr about Vergo's matter. Suspecting a naval rear admiral for no reason and without any evidence to prove that the other party was a female harem would lead to Vergo turning the tables and taking Yang Ming to a military court.

Military tribunals are led by the World Government, with CP9 responsible for arresting criminals, and they show no leniency to the Navy.

Yang Ming didn't want to provoke the madmen of the CP organization; he just wanted to develop his strength discreetly.

The five training ships sped along, and the pirates nearby, upon seeing the naval flag flying on the warships, dared not approach and scattered like birds and beasts.

Yang Ming calmly gazed at the rippling blue waves, where the outline of a pirate ship gradually emerged on the horizon.

When the pirate ship saw the five training ships, instead of fleeing in panic, it headed straight for them.

A black banner with a white skull fluttered on the mainmast of the pirate ship. The skull had the personal features of Foxy the Silver Fox: fox ears, a red pointed nose, and squinty eyes.

Seeing the pirate ship charging straight at them, seemingly unafraid of sinking, Chief Instructor Zephyr frowned slightly, calmly directing the five training ships to disperse and avoid the oncoming pirate ship.

The Silver Fox Pirates' ship was a size or two larger than the training ship. As it passed by the training ship under Yang Ming's feet, a pirate attached a hooked rope to the railing on the deck and swung like a Tarzan ape, somersaulting in mid-air before landing on the deck and rolling a few times to dissipate the force. He then drew a gun in one hand and a sword in the other and charged at the nearby trainees.

Some pirates extended wooden ladders, one end of which concealed iron hooks. Once hooked onto a ship, they could temporarily create a floating bridge. On the narrow planks that could only fit one foot, a group of pirates, with white knives in their mouths, would fiercely pounce on the bridge.

Pirates who can wreak havoc on the Grand Line are mostly bloodthirsty scoundrels who hang their heads on their waists, having long since thrown life and death to the back of their minds. They are beyond the comprehension of those flowers grown in greenhouses.

Despite the fact that the individual naval cadets were far superior to these pirates, several naval cadets cried out in pain the moment they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and were successively injured, some even losing their hands or feet.

Unlike naval cadets, pirates are poorly clothed and sleep poorly, wearing only faded sailor uniforms. Beneath their dark skin are strong, muscular bodies. Their fighting style is completely unpredictable, yet every move is aimed at the naval cadets' vital points.

Eyes, throat, heart, genitals, rear end—whichever part of the human body is vulnerable, that's the navy prioritizes attacking.

The female trainees were especially embarrassed. Not only did they have to endure the lewd stares of a group of lustful single men, but they also had to put up with the verbal abuse from these uncultured pirates. At the same time, they had to avoid being groped by the enemy during battles. It was incredibly frustrating.

Yang Ming was the youngest among all the trainees, and soon three pirates set their sights on him.

"Ah!"

Seeing the expressions in the eyes of these three pirates, Yang Ming knew exactly what they were up to.

Yang Ming slowly drew his sword, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

"Awake, time to hunt!"

Chapter 16 Long Ming

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

"What did I just see? A little kid actually became a navy officer."

A pirate cackled, holding a dagger in his hand. He extended a long, thin tongue and lightly slid it across the blade, his slanted eyes revealing a hint of disdain.

He and two other companions quietly surrounded Yang Ming, and, following the principle of picking on the weak, launched the first attack on Yang Ming.

As the three pirates expected, the little boy in front of them was completely terrified and stood frozen in place.

however,

When the weapons of the three pirates landed on the boy, there was no sign of a head falling to the ground. Instead, when the three men's blades struck Yang Ming's neck and heart, they made a crisp clanging sound, as if striking a steel plate.

"She's awake..."

Yang Ming's eyes were obscured by his bangs. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with his five fingers, stomped his foot, and a ball of flame exploded beneath his feet. As if propelled by a thruster, his small figure shot out like an arrow. The standard longsword in his hand swung, creating a surge of heat.

With a flash of light, crimson flames clung to the three pirates like a persistent infection.

Yang Ming landed firmly on the ground behind the three pirates, and only then did he manage to utter the second half of his sentence.

"Hunting time!"

The three corpses fell to the ground with a thud. The blood that had just spilled from their slit throats quickly evaporated into wisps of bloody smoke as the flames burned, emitting a nauseating stench of blood.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Honor of Kings. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

The system notification was drowned out by the noise of the battlefield, but fortunately Yang Ming kept some of his attention focused.

A lottery wheel slowly appeared in my field of vision, displaying three categories of prizes: hero skins, runes, and hero skills.

Hero Skins: Wuling Immortal Lord, Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, Flying Balance...

Inscriptions: Hunting, Eagle Eye, Mutation...

Hero Skills: Dragon's Roar, Thunderous Dragon, Word of Power Barrier...

The lottery wheel spun rhythmically, matching the sound of Yang Ming's feet hitting the deck.

Swords clashed, and gunshots rang out incessantly.

The trainees on the training ship, stepping out of their sheltered environment for the first time, were subjected to the brutal baptism of pirates on the Grand Line.

Compared to the heartwarming stories we used to see in anime, real-world pirates are much more cunning and cruel.

They have no bottom line; their fighting style is often to risk their lives, targeting the enemy's vulnerable points with every move, wishing nothing more than to kill or maim them.

Even the students inside the cannon seemed to be thrown off their rhythm, forgetting that they were supposed to fire cannonballs at the pirate ship next to them.

Chief Instructor Zefa did not issue any commands or intervene; he simply acted as an observer, letting the situation unfold as it would.

The Silver Fox Pirates are not considered a powerful pirate crew on the Grand Line. If they can't even defeat such an opponent, this year's cadets will only drag down their teammates if they manage to graduate and enter the Marine Headquarters.

Fortunately, these cadets were carefully selected by the Navy, and after the initial chaos, they quickly regained their footing under the guidance of the top students.

Smoker, with his elemental powers, constantly moved across the battlefield. His billowing white smoke could be both soft and hard, sometimes transforming into nooses to bind enemies, and sometimes into smoke needles to knock down a group of pirates.

Tina is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and moves nimbly among her enemies. Once she catches an opening, she will close in and suddenly knock you to the ground, leaving you with at least a broken bone.

Dadi Mastasson is a master marksman, wielding two guns as he roams the edge of the battlefield. His calm gaze always finds the enemy's weak points, and a single bullet pierces the enemy's heart with pinpoint accuracy.

Jonathan's physical skills, swordsmanship, and marksmanship are all mediocre, but he possesses a remarkably intelligent mind and the ability to command and organize combat. He has gathered a group of trainees around him and manages them with great skill and efficiency.

Under Jonathan's command, five training ships surrounded the enemy pirate ship. The wounded were moved to the rear, while the front was led by trainees skilled in melee combat. With his organization, the originally precarious defensive line was immediately stabilized.

Drake was familiar with Jonathan and was assigned by Jonathan to charge at the forefront. Wherever his blade passed, many pirates fell into pools of blood.

Among all the trainees, Yang Ming stood out the most.

He was like a king born from flames. With each step he took, before other pirates could even react, a blinding flash of light would appear, and a pirate engulfed in flames would fall beside Yang Ming, dying without even a scream before becoming a cold corpse.

The merciless flames devoured the pirates' corpses, leaving behind a pile of burnt ashes in Yang Ming's wake.

When a sea breeze blew by, ruffling Yang Ming's bangs, his deep, dark eyes, reflected in the firelight, exuded a powerful sense of oppression, making one's heart tremble involuntarily.

What was once a coveted prize in the eyes of pirates has suddenly become a great white shark that preys on its prey.

After the number of deaths under Yang Ming's blade exceeded thirty, the surrounding pirates dared not approach, and a vacuum area immediately appeared around Yang Ming.

During a lull in the battle, Yang Ming finally had time to check the prizes he had won.

【Dragon's Roar】: Each time you take damage in battle, the damage you receive will be slightly reduced, up to a maximum of one-third of the damage you receive.

The passive ability Dragon Roar is enough to greatly enhance Yang Ming's survivability and endurance.

With the addition of the Navy's Six Styles Iron Body, Yang Ming's defensive capabilities are greatly enhanced, making him increasingly formidable in battle.

Furthermore, as Yang Ming further developed his Armament Haki, his vitality became increasingly tenacious in battle, making him comparable to a replica of Kaido of the Beasts!

Seeing that the trainees on the five training ships had secured their positions and were showing signs of pushing back onto the pirate ships, the officers on the pirate ships could no longer sit still.

However, before they could make a move, Yang Ming took the lead, stepping across the floating bridge built by the pirates from the training ship and landing steadily on the pirate ship.

The navy frequently engages in battles with pirates from various regions, and close combat is commonplace. Therefore, the discipline program at the naval academy includes training in body balance.

A wooden plank that could only accommodate one foot was no big deal for Yang Ming.

After landing, Yang Ming quickly surveyed the enemies on the deck.

Foxy the Silver Fox, Hamburger, Pochi, Ito, Cabernet, Biculus, Gina, Saunie, Donovan.

All nine officers, including Captain Foxy the Silver Fox, were present.

besides……

Yang Ming glanced meaningfully at the three burly men with long beards.

The burly man at the head of the group was enormous, like a small giant. He was tall and imposing, and his most distinctive feature was his beard. He tied his long, brown beard into three braids, and anyone who didn't know him might mistake him for a white-bearded admirer.

"Teabe Pirates Captain Teabe Boss, bounty 1700 million Berries."

Upon hearing Yang Ming reveal his identity, Boss Tea Beard let out a hearty "woohohoho" laugh.

This seemingly hospitable, burly man had a fierce glint in his eyes, like that of a vicious wolf.

"All the navy personnel must die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Tea Beard took the lead and swung a spiked club weighing over 500 pounds with great force.

A strong wind rushed towards Yang Ming's face, stinging like a blade.

Boss Tea Beard went all out from the start, showing no slackening even though his opponent was a child.

Pirates who can make a name for themselves on the Grand Line are no ordinary people. They know very well that there are three types of people who cannot be ignored on this sea: the elderly, women, and children.

Especially since this boy was the first to come from the training ship, it's clear he's a rising star cultivated by the navy. If we underestimate him and are careless, we really don't know what death means.

Just as Yang Ming was about to dodge, Silver Fox Foxy revealed a sinister smile and pointed a finger at Yang Ming from afar.

"Slow light!"

A pink beam of light shot out. Although it wasn't as fast as the speed of light, it was still something Yang Ming couldn't dodge, and he was hit by the pink beam on the spot.

The next moment, Yang Ming felt his thoughts slow down to an extreme degree.

It must be said that the pirates on the Grand Line are extremely treacherous and have no sense of martial ethics. They will even gang up on a child without hesitation.

Fortunately, Yang Ming had been keeping a close eye on everything around him and had been paying attention to every move of Silver Fox Foxy. The moment the other raised his finger, all the muscles in his body tensed up.

"Iron!"

Amidst the piercing sound of wind being cut, the spiked club viciously pounded against Yang Ming's body.

"boom!"
