"cough!"
Spitting a mouthful of bloody phlegm mixed with fragments of internal organs onto the ground, Yang Ming looked down at the gruesome knife wound on his chest, which slid down from his left shoulder to his right abdomen. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and the outline of the internal organs could be faintly seen.
If it weren't for the triple protection of the iron block, the dragon's roar, and the dragon scales, and the fact that Yang Ming's strength is now far greater than before, this single blow would probably have been enough to cut him in two.
Through the battles on the first two levels of Impel Down, Yang Ming realized that before his Zanpakuto was released, his combat power was slightly higher than Rob Lucci of CP9, and after the Zanpakuto was released, his combat power was comparable to that of a Marine Commodore.
However, it is clear that if the combat power boost from the Zanpakuto is removed, Yang Ming's strength is still far behind that of Shiryu of the Rain.
This gap cannot be bridged by a year or two of training. After all, while Yang Ming was training like crazy, Shiryu of the Rain was not idle either. He was also sharpening his skills by using death row inmates in prison.
Standing amidst the rubble, Yang Ming felt every breath he took aggravate his wounds, sending a burning pain through him.
The fear between life and death is immense. The sense of crisis of being on the verge of death also stimulates the dormant superhuman cells and gourmet cells in Yang Ming's body. Under the unified command of the dragon bloodline, the potential hidden in the bloodline factors is constantly being stimulated.
The wounds left on Yang Ming by the famous sword Lei Yu were visibly healing, slowly stopping the continuous bleeding. It would probably start to scab over in another two or three days.
Such rapid recovery from injuries did not come without a price. Yang Ming could feel that the Qi he had stored up in his body through overeating and drinking was being consumed at an alarming rate.
"This battle should not be prolonged."
Yang Ming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, tore off his tattered clothes, and used them as a medical bandage to urgently wrap around the wound to prevent it from becoming infected and worsening. He looked up and saw that Shiryu of the Rain looked disappointed and had no intention of continuing to attack.
Shiryu of the Rain seemed to realize that he had made a big fuss, only to find that his opponent was a weakling who had not even mastered Armament Haki, which was clearly not what he expected. Seventy percent of the murderous aura he had gathered dissipated.
Just then, Warden Magellan and Deputy Warden Domino arrived together.
Seeing from afar that Yang Ming hadn't been killed on the spot by Shiryu of the Rain, Chief Magellan finally felt a huge weight lifted from his chest. Fearing that Shiryu of the Rain might do something wrong, he quickly called out:
"Shiryu, stop!"
"Tsk, here comes the nuisance."
Shiryu of the Rain was visibly annoyed. If he weren't outmatched by Chief Magellan, he would definitely have given this guy who repeatedly ruined his plans a piece of his mind.
Out of consideration for Director Magellan, or perhaps out of a lack of interest, Shiryu of the Rain was about to sheathe his sword.
But just then, he suddenly felt a terrifying sword intent coming from the ruins opposite him, and his previously sullen face was once again filled with a bloodthirsty smile.
Yang Ming suppressed the numbness in his arms, gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, raised the tip of the blade high above his head, and unleashed endless flames that engulfed his small figure in a towering pillar of fire.
"Everything in the universe is reduced to ashes, and the flowing blade is like fire!"
"Swastika!"
The pillar of fire burst forth, shooting straight into the sky, even reaching the high ceiling of the Hungry Hell.
"boom!"
In that instant, the entire deep-sea prison trembled for a moment.
The ground paved with gray flagstones trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck the sea.
Deputy Warden Domino stumbled and nearly fell to the ground, but was caught by the quick-thinking Commissioner Magellan, who prevented him from falling to the ground.
The aloof beauty stared wide-eyed at the towering flame, feeling the intense heat, more terrifying than any hellish inferno, wash over her. Even with her immense strength, she felt a wave of discomfort on her skin, as if she were inside a giant furnace.
"This...what is this?"
Commissioner Magellan's brow furrowed with seriousness as he gazed intently at the figure flickering within the pillar of fire, and said:
"Domino, you told me before that this was a student preparing for early graduation exams at naval academy?"
"This is not the level a student should have!"
"I have felt this terrifying power before, in Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu!"
"However, I have a strong feeling that this boy has not yet fully unleashed this power. Once he can fully master it, he may even surpass Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu!"
Commissioner Magellan's words echoed in the ears of Deputy Warden Domino like the morning bell and evening drum.
"Comparable to...comparable to the strength of a general?"
Domino's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief. Even when Yang Ming had broken through the first two levels of the Deep Sea Prison, he had never given her such a shock.
Domino had no idea that Commissioner Magellan was teasing her.
If it weren't for the severe side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit that Director Magellan took, which required him to spend at least twelve hours a day in the toilet, he would have at least one of the positions of Admiral in the Navy, given his immense strength.
Director Magellan truly lives up to his reputation as a general-level commander; his insight is indeed sharp.
After its Bankai, the Zanpakuto Ryujin Jakka can reach a temperature equivalent to the core of the sun, which is 1500 million degrees Celsius.
However, even with the fire elemental power bestowed upon Yang Ming by the Eye of God, his fragile body could not withstand such terrifying high temperatures.
Therefore, Yang Ming can only unleash one-three-thousandth of the power of Ryujin Jakka's Bankai, which is a high temperature of 5000 degrees Celsius.
It's important to know that the highest temperature of magma is only 1400 degrees Celsius!
When the pillar of fire first appeared, Shiryu of the Rain showed a look of joy.
But when he felt the wave of heat hitting him, Shiryu of the Rain couldn't keep his composure.
He felt like he had gone too far!
Accompanied by a clang of a blade, a hoarse voice, like that of a demon from hell, suddenly came from within the pillar of fire:
"Do you think you're a hunter, able to disregard other people's lives like a god?"
"But in my eyes..."
"I'll kill anyone who's alive, even if they're a god!"
Chapter 40 The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Subduing Shiryu of the Rain
"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!"
The entire deep-sea prison trembled violently, even causing panic among the large sea kings swimming around it.
Large sea kings possess a more acute sensory system than ordinary humans, enabling them to sense a repressive and frenzied power from somewhere in the deep-sea prison. It is a power akin to that of a natural enemy, deeply piercing the nerves of these large sea kings and causing them to flee this sea area at their fastest speed.
Suddenly, a rare blank area appeared within a radius of a hundred miles around the deep-sea prison.
The sixth basement level of the Deep Sea Prison, also known as the Infinite Hell, is where death row inmates and prisoners serving life sentences are held. These prisoners are all extremely vicious monsters and pirates who have been erased from history. The mortals imprisoned on this level are all near-legendary figures.
Because the prisoners in the Infinite Hell committed numerous atrocities and acts that went beyond the bounds of cruelty, the World Government covered up the truth, and even the newspapers concealed it.
At this moment, feeling the burning sensation emanating from the hell of hunger, the prisoners who had been dozing all opened their eyes.
"This immense power is already very close to that of a Marine Admiral, isn't it?"
"Hehehe... Is someone coming to break me out of prison? I'm really looking forward to it!"
"No matter who it is, as long as they rescue me, I'll consider them my brother!"
"..."
"boring!"
A faint voice echoed from the depths of the Infinite Prison, instantly silencing the prison that had been as bustling as a marketplace.
The prisoners glanced silently into the depths of the prison, then immediately shrank back, afraid to utter a sound, lest they displease the other party.
A tall figure sat cross-legged deep within the Infinite Prison. His black and white striped prison uniform could not conceal his strong physique. His exposed arms bore large scars from artillery fire, and his eyes, as ferocious as a "ghost," had not diminished their ferocity even after years of imprisonment. Instead, he waited for his chance like a hungry tiger in a cage.
This legendary pirate is imprisoned in the deepest part of Infinite Hell, without any other prisoners around him. This isn't intentional isolation, but rather to prevent unnecessary casualties among the other prisoners.
Douglas Bullet, once a trusted subordinate of the Pirate King Roger, possesses extremely powerful Observation Haki, so much so that even thick walls cannot block his perception.
His Observation Haki swept across the Hungry Hell like a radar, and after sensing it for a while, he felt a sense of loss and closed his eyes again.
The katana, seemingly charred black by flames, suddenly emerged from the massive pillar of fire, its tip rising in thick smoke.
However, the moment Shiryu of the Rain saw the Zanpakuto, he was immediately overwhelmed by a chilling sense of oppression.
"Sword of Fire!"
The boy in the pillar of fire held his Zanpakuto in both hands, as if he were lifting a hundred thousand catties of cold iron, and swung the sword with a seemingly heavy yet light motion.
With such a simple slash, it stirred up scorching flames all around, and the rolling flames condensed on the blade, transforming into a blazing slash that was a hundred meters long, carrying a terrifying power.
After unleashing his full power, the boy held his Zanpakuto upside down, the tip of the blade plunging into the gray stone floor, his muscles twitching slightly and irregularly.
Clearly, maintaining the Bankai attack had exhausted all of Yang Ming's strength, leaving him unable to unleash any more strikes.
Shiryu of the Rain's pupils dilated, and the blazing flames within them continued to grow larger.
Intuition told him that in that instant, all the space he could dodge was blocked by the opponent's attack, leaving him with no way to dodge and no way to avoid it!
"Tsk!"
With a sudden, forceful bite, Shiryu snapped the cigar between his teeth, his eyes flashing with a ferocious light like a jackal. His right arm moved rapidly, wielding his famous sword Raiyu at the fastest speed he had ever seen, unleashing three streaks of sword energy.
Armament Haki, imperceptible to the naked eye, covers the blade of the famous sword Raiyu, greatly enhancing the power of each sword strike.
The three sword energies merged into one along the way, possessing enough power to cleave a warship in two. Upon touching the Blazing Flame Slash, they melted away as quickly as spring snow in summer.
"This...how is this possible!"
Shiryu of the Rain's pupils dilated in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
Not to mention him, even the deputy warden Domino, who was watching from a distance, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
"Am I dreaming?"
Domino looked up at Magellan beside him and saw that his brows were furrowed and his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
"This is a full-force attack comparable to that of a Marine Admiral!"
Upon hearing this, Domino's body trembled.
Recalling the time when Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji sent Yang Ming to the Deep Sea Prison, Domino wondered if this young man might have the potential to become an admiral.
But how long has it been? The opponent has actually unleashed a strike comparable to that of a general!
Even though Yang Ming seemed to be completely exhausted and unable to fight after using this move, it still meant that he possessed combat power comparable to a general during a short burst of power!
More importantly, he is only seven years old!
For a moment, Domino didn't know if it was because a lot of oxygen in the air was consumed or because her worldview was greatly shocked; she just felt dizzy.
"boom!"
A charred figure flew backward at high speed, smashing into a granite wall and creating a human-shaped crater. A gruesome knife mark cut the wall in two along the crater, and half of the granite wall collapsed with a crash. Scorching red flames clung to the cut like magma, emitting billowing smoke.
Inside the cells near the human-shaped pit, the prisoners who had been huddled in the corners felt the once cool floor radiating an intense heat, like a branding iron, so hot that they all stood on one leg.
