One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Everyone immediately calmed down, watching the sunlight filter through their fingers and cast dappled patterns of light on the boy's face.

At that moment, he was like a god.

Chapter 36 Entering the Deep-Sea Prison

Naval Headquarters, tea room.

Two elderly people, both over fifty, sat facing each other. On the table were two teacups filled with emerald green tea.

Chief Instructor Zefa, unfamiliar with the art of tea tasting, downed his cup of tea in one gulp, then slammed the cup down heavily on the table with his broad, bear-like hands, saying:

"Xiao He, it's just as you said. That kid Yang Ming would rather go to the deep-sea prison to complete his graduation exam than stay at the naval academy."

Opposite Chief Instructor Zefa, a weathered woman sat cross-legged on a soft couch.

Despite her advanced age, one can still vaguely see the dashing spirit of her youth in the contours of her face.

The woman's hair was gray, styled in a simple ponytail that fell to her shoulders. Her hairstyle was neat and tidy, revealing her smooth forehead, which was covered with sharp wrinkles. She wore a pair of emerald green jade earrings, two gold bracelets on her right hand, a light blue shirt underneath, a navy cloak over it, and a purple tie with white stripes around her neck.

Vice Admiral Tsuru was a naval soldier in the same class as Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp, and Chief Instructor Zephyr. The four fought side by side for many years and had developed a deep friendship that transcended romantic relationships.

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Tsuru lowered his head, took a small sip of tea, and said meaningfully:

"That child has unlimited potential, and one day the fledgling eagle will spread its wings and soar high."

"For ordinary people, Impel Down is a hellish place, but for some, it is a treasure trove where countless riches are buried."

Chief Instructor Zefa scratched his head, completely unable to understand what Lieutenant General Tsuru meant.

I hate riddle tellers!

The protagonist, whom Chief Instructor Zephyr was so eager to see, suddenly sneezed.

Yang Ming shuddered and looked around.

At this moment, he was sailing straight ahead on the warship of Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji, cutting through the waves towards the location of Impel Down, the deep-sea prison.

Such treatment is not something everyone receives.

General Kuzan of the Blue Sky Clan doted on his junior brother, and his personal escort of Yang Ming was clearly intended to leave a deep impression on the officers and soldiers stationed at the Deep Sea Prison.

"Who's talking about me behind my back?"

Yang Ming murmured to himself, then turned his attention to the system notification.

"Ding!"

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

A lottery wheel, invisible to ordinary people, slowly appeared, with only two categories of prizes: weapons and special moves.

Armaments: Phantom Scale Armaments, Phoenix Feather Armaments, Dragon Battle Armaments...

Ultimate moves: Fiery Cloud Technique, Illusory Heaven Technique, Frosty Shadow Technique...

【Fire Cloud Technique】: Increases fire affinity and fire-type slash power, actively condenses fire elements to form a massive fireball with astonishing destructive power.

The moment the lottery results were announced, an ancient incantation appeared in Yang Ming's mind.

The prismatic gemstone at his waist trembled slightly. This Eye of God seemed to have formed some kind of connection and resonance with the Fire Cloud Technique. Yang Ming's body spontaneously combusted without any fire, and flames danced and leaped about as if in celebration.

When Yang Ming opened his eyes again, the strange phenomena on his body vanished instantly, as if everything just now was nothing more than a mirage.

As if sensing something, Yang Ming suddenly raised one index finger.

"call!"

With a thought, a flame spontaneously ignited on Yang Ming's fingertip.

Yang Ming's expression was slightly strange, and he thought to himself:

"If I continue developing like this, won't I be stealing Ace's title of Fire Fist?"

"Everyone can play with fire, so the Flame-Flame Fruit is a useless fruit, right?"

The warships cut through the white waves and ventured into a fog.

Upon entering the area of ​​the island where Impel Down, the deep-sea prison, is located, the once clear sky is now covered by a perpetually gloomy haze, with wisps of mist drifting in the air, significantly reducing visibility.

After a flight of more than half an hour, the outline of a magnificent and huge building began to appear in the distance.

The bright yellow searchlights in the lighthouse pierced the fog like sharp swords, guiding the warships to safe anchorages.

Ships not moored in designated locations will be harassed by sea monsters and piranhas, and will also be under heavy scrutiny from the numerous cannons on the fortress walls.

Under the command of Admiral Kuzan, the massive warship sailed into the open gates.

At this point, this enormous fortress, which struck fear into the hearts of outsiders, finally unveiled its mysterious veil to Yang Ming.

Impel Down, the deep-sea prison, is a massive structure over 100 meters high. The buildings that protrude above the sea form a heavily fortified fortress, with three layers of walls forming a three-dimensional network of firepower. Every so often, a giant cannon is mounted on the walls, its blackened muzzle menacing, clearly indicating that it is regularly maintained and always ready for battle.

After the warship passed through a huge archway, a bright and open space suddenly appeared before us.

Soldiers from the deep-sea prison were already at the naval port to greet them, led by an elegant young woman.

The girl wore a black military cap slung across her head, covering her right eye, and reddish-brown sunglasses on her nose, making it difficult to see her captivating eyes from behind. Her wavy blonde hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders, adding to her gentle and charming appearance.

The girl wore a white shirt underneath a brown jacket and brown shorts. Her well-developed figure could barely contain itself, outlining breathtaking curves. A black tie was tied around her chest, positioned in a suggestive spot. She paired it with dark red knee-high boots and dark red gloves, exuding a serious yet playful charm, perfectly embodying the term "ascetic beauty."

As General Kuzan led Yang Ming off the warship, the girl and the officers and soldiers behind her saluted.

"Welcome, Admiral of the Naval Headquarters, for your guidance!"

General Kuzan of Aokiji recognized her as Domino, the newly promoted deputy warden, whose rank and title were equivalent to brigadier general. She could be described as a promising young man.

He looked around but couldn't find Director Magellan.

Noticing Admiral Aokiji's strange gaze, Domino blushed slightly and explained in a low voice:

"The director has food poisoning and is still in the toilet."

Upon hearing this, Kuzan looked enlightened.

“Since Magellan isn’t here, let’s not reminisce with him.” Kuzan put his arm around Yang Ming’s neck and introduced him to Domino: “This is my junior brother, Yang Ming. He will be breaking into the Deep Sea Prison and going all the way to the sixth underground floor to complete his graduation exam at the Naval Academy. Please take good care of him during this time.”

Although Kuzan was very polite in his words, Domino's officers and soldiers understood the underlying meaning.

Behind her reddish-brown sunglasses, Domino's beautiful eyes shimmered as she looked at the boy in front of her, seemingly in disbelief.

"This child is so young, yet he's a student at a naval academy?"

Domino was also a student at the Naval Academy, and in some ways, she was Yang Ming's senior. She naturally understood how difficult the graduation exam at the Naval Academy was, and how difficult it was to graduate early.

Of course, there have been exceptionally gifted students in history who graduated early.

Domino's gaze fell on Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji. This man was also a prodigy who graduated from the Naval Academy ahead of schedule!

Could it be that this young man has the potential to become a great general?

Domino was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

After entrusting Yang Ming to Domino's officers and soldiers, General Kuzan of Aokiji boarded his warship again and left the area.

Nowadays, conflicts are constant on the Grand Line, and every naval force is extremely busy. It is already difficult for Aokiji to find time to send Yang Ming on a trip.

Domino led the way for Yang Ming, her slender waist swaying gently as she dutifully introduced him to her.

"The prisoners in each level of Impel Down, the deep-sea prison, are determined by the size of the bounty on their head. The higher the bounty, the lower the level they are imprisoned. In addition to the various cells for imprisoning prisoners, each level has a unique form of torture. Therefore, each level is given the name of hell. With each level you go down, the torture the prisoners suffer will intensify."

As he spoke, Domino pulled a bunch of keys from his waist and opened the iron gate on the first floor of the building above sea level.

The moment you enter the gate, a wave of heat hits you.

"Stop! Stop it right now!"

A scream came from the right.

Yang Ming looked in the direction of the sound and saw two jailers holding a prisoner on each side, locking him in the baptismal room, and then suddenly opening the valve.

In an instant, hot water at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius was poured down, soaking the prisoner from head to toe.

Hot steam billowed out from under the baptismal door, mixed with a foul stench and the screams of prisoners.

Seeing Yang Ming's calm expression, Domino's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said:

"As you can see, this is the baptismal room, where prisoners undergo comprehensive sterilization and disinfection."

Good guy!

I was like, wow!

Yang Ming looked at the prisoner, whose body was burning hot and whose skin was as red as blood.

This isn't sterilization and disinfection; it's clearly murder for profit!

However, the prisoners who can be held in the deep-sea prison are not ordinary people. The boiling water that would scald an ordinary person to death would only make the prisoners scream a few times.

The first floor of the building is filled with offices of various sizes, as well as rooms for full-body checks of visitors and various torture rooms. Bloodstained instruments of torture hang on the walls, which are often used to torture prisoners.

A large elevator is installed next to it, which can take you directly to the prison warden's office on the fourth basement floor. Other prison guards are not allowed to use it under normal circumstances.

The Deep Sea Prison usually has few visitors, and the interior is deserted, with only the footsteps of Domino and Yang Ming echoing in the corridor.

After passing through a long corridor, at the end of the corridor was a huge steel gate.

Domino inserted the special key into the lock, and with a "click," the heavy steel door slowly opened.

Domino gave Yang Ming a meaningful smile and said:

Welcome to the Crimson Lotus Hell!

"Next, you'll be venturing out on your own, junior. Be careful not to get caught by the jailers. They don't care about your background. If you get caught, they might beat you to death."

Chapter 37 I bloom amidst the carnage, like a flower at dawn.

Judicial Island, medical clinic.

A young man, whose appearance and clothing bore a resemblance to Spandam, entered the ward and placed the brocade box he was carrying on the bedside table.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on Spandam's sinister and cunning face.

Spandam opened the brocade box, inside which was a Devil Fruit. He turned to the man on the hospital bed, whose entire body was wrapped in medical bandages, and said:

"Rob Lucci, this is the Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Cat-Cat Fruit. If you serve me and help me become the new CP9 commander, it will be yours."
