One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

With one foot sinking deeper than the other, Yang Ming slowly made his way towards Shiryu of the Rain.

The violent movement had torn open the wound that was still healing, and a large amount of blood stained the tattered cloth used to bandage the wound. As Yang Ming slowly moved forward, he left bloodstains of varying depths on the ground.

Excruciating pain coursed through his entire body, as if his bones had been repeatedly pounded by an iron hammer. Yang Ming had no choice but to focus his attention on the system notifications to distract himself from the pain.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from the Type-Moon series. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel slowly appeared, divided into two categories: magic and treasures.

Magic: Mystic Eyes of Petrification, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Mystic Eyes of Distortion...

Noble Phantasms: Gate of Babylon, Chains of Heaven, The King's Army...

【Mystic Eyes of Death Perception】: A causal ability. All things are born and die. You can see the death lines and dead points of things. When your attack cuts along the death line, the attack is unstoppable. When your attack hits the dead point of a thing, the thing will come to an end.

A deep blue light suddenly emanated from the depths of the Sharingan with its two tomoe, like the gaze of the Grim Reaper, sending a chill down one's spine for no apparent reason.

Everything that is born must die.

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception grant Yang Ming the ability to see another side of everything in the world. Whether it is a person or an object, they are all constructed from countless lines, forming a three-dimensional existence.

Among these countless lines, there is a special line concerning the existence of people and things, which is called the dead line.

A point formed by the intersection and convergence of various dead lines is a dead point.

Yang Ming looked up at the prison guard beasts that were hiding far away. These prison guard beasts had many death lines on their bodies, but no fatal points, which meant that their vitality was extremely tenacious. Although they had many weaknesses, it was difficult to kill them by ordinary methods.

As Yang Ming's gaze quickly swept over Director Magellan, he noticed that the man had almost no dead lines, let alone dead spots.

This means that if Yang Ming is stronger than his enemy, the enemy will be more likely to expose more dead ends or even fatal weaknesses, and vice versa.

The benefit of having the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception integrated into Yang Ming's body is that if he encounters a physically powerful monster like Kaido of the Beasts in the future, he will be able to unleash a deadly move that ignores all defenses and severely injure the opponent.

When Yang Ming arrived in front of the heavily injured and collapsed Shiryu of the Rain, the opponent was in a weakened state, with a large number of death lines distributed on his body. In fact, the various death lines intersected and converged to form three fatal death points, respectively on his abdomen, right chest and forehead.

Few people know that Shiryu of the Rain's heart is not in his left chest, but in his right chest.

But none of this could escape the scrutiny of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which exposed everything.

The still-hot blade tip gently touched Shiryu's right chest. The burning sensation from the blade tip made Shiryu struggle to lift his heavy eyelids, and in his blurred vision, he saw a figure covered in blood.

Shiryu of the Rain had deep, bone-revealing wounds on his body, with an astonishing amount of bleeding that evaporated rapidly in the high temperature. Now, when he looked at Yang Ming's figure, he was seeing overlapping phantoms, and even the boy's hoarse voice was causing strange auditory hallucinations.

The young man coldly stared at his defeated opponent and said:

"I won."

"Would you be interested in working for me?"

Seeing that Shiryu of the Rain's chapped lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to refuse, Yang Ming continued:

"The Deep Sea Prison is too small a temple to contain such a great Buddha as you."

"I know you're bloodthirsty by nature, but if you keep choosing defenseless death row inmates to torture and kill, life would be too boring. Why not follow me and make something of yourselves on the Grand Line?"

The embers lingered behind the boy, trailing a long cloak. The flickering firelight illuminated half of his face in light and half in darkness. Amidst Shiryu's numerous visual and auditory hallucinations, he seemed to see a demon with two faces appear in the world, one filled with compassion and the other with a blue face and fangs.

Shiryu of the Rain grinned and said:

"If you possess such magnanimity, what harm is there in me following you?"

Upon hearing this, Magellan, the director who had traveled a long way, turned pale.

Chapter 41 Nothing is perfect; the world is imperfect, and that's what makes it beautiful.

The deep-sea prison has four underground levels, a scorching hell.

This is a rather peculiar prison level. In the center is a huge pool of blood. Bubbles and thick smoke constantly rise from the surface of the boiling blood pool. The most heinous prisoners are often first burned by the sea of ​​fire at the outer edge of the blood pool before being thrown into the scalding blood pool to undergo a series of tortures.

The crimson blood in the pool wasn't there from the beginning; it was formed over a long period of time by the blood of countless prisoners. The screams of prisoners echoed from the pool, making it seem like a living hell.

The Scorching Hell is not a simple prison. In addition to rows of cells, there is also a huge granary. The food stored in the granary is enough to feed all the staff of the Deep Sea Prison for a year.

In addition, there is a spacious and clean kitchen next to the director's office.

A figure wrapped in medical bandages stood in front of a wok, skillfully tossing the meat slices of sea monsters mixed with green peppers and stir-frying. The aroma of bay leaves and cumin lingered in the air, making one want to devour the food.

Yang Ming placed the stir-fried dishes on a cool silver plate, humming a little tune as he carried the plate into the director's office.

At this moment, a dignified figure sat upright in the executive chair in the director's office.

This person was enormous, seemingly possessing the blood of giants. His appearance closely resembled that of Satan from the Bible, with two horns on his head and black wings on his back. He wore a jet-black director's uniform with a red stamp on his arm. When he was not smiling, he gave off an aura of authority without anger. His pair of triangular eyes were fixed intently on a document on his desk.

Deep-Sea Prison Renovation Plan

This was a document that Yang Ming had prepared long before entering the deep-sea prison, and now it was being presented to Director Magellan for review.

Director Magellan glanced meaningfully at the young man who walked in. The young man acted as if he knew the place well, found an empty seat, and sat down to enjoy the nutritious food.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Within the Navy Headquarters, there are now roughly three factions: the ***, the neutral faction, and the hawks.

Notable figures include Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp, Admiral Kuzan (Aokiji), Chief Instructor Zephyr, and Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Representatives of the neutral faction include Admiral Borsalino and Warden Magellan.

Hawkish figures include Admiral Sakazuki Akainu, Vice Admiral Doberman, and Vice Admiral Onigumo.

*** believes that the navy should have autonomy, advocates balancing the major powers at sea, maintains world peace at the lowest cost, and supports the World Government's Seven Warlords system.

The hawks, on the other hand, hold the opposite view, believing that the Navy should completely obey the orders of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, and advocating that all pirates and revolutionaries should be eliminated at all costs.

Over the years, the differences between the naval leadership and the hawks have grown increasingly pronounced, gradually spreading from the upper echelons of the navy to the lower ranks.

The differences in their philosophies led to vastly different ways of behaving.

The navy usually doesn't kill pirates on the spot, but instead arrests them and imprisons them in the deep-sea prison.

The hawkish navy, on the other hand, shows no mercy and is accustomed to eradicating pirates completely, leaving no one alive.

In the adult world, it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong.

Director Magellan preferred to stay in Impel Down rather than work at Marine Headquarters, partly because the side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit left him with little free time, and partly to avoid factional infighting within Marine Headquarters.

He casually flipped through the "Deep Sea Prison Renovation Plan" and was immediately confronted with tortures he had never seen before: the dripping torture, the Iron Lady torture, the slow slicing torture...

The purpose of these various forms of torture was to extract information from prisoners about the location of their hidden treasures and any secret information they possessed.

Director Magellan was not naive enough to think that a young boy could have such insight.

After witnessing Yang Ming display his admiral-level combat prowess, he immediately contacted his superior, Admiral Kizaru Borsalino, and learned from him that the planner of the early graduation exam for the Naval Academy was Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Within the Navy Headquarters, Vice Admiral Tsuru was known as a wise strategist, second only to Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"Could it be that General He handed this proposal to me through Yang Ming?"

"No, no, no, rather, it's more accurate to say that the Warring States Marshal was secretly behind it all?"

No one who is qualified to serve as director is a fool.

Intelligent people always think about many things, and Director Magellan increasingly felt that there might be some deeper meaning behind this, like that of the Warring States Marshal.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table. After a moment of contemplation, Director Magellan said:

“Young man, I agree in principle with the suggestions in your proposal, but I have one condition: I want 10% of the treasure surrendered by the prisoners to be used to improve the treatment of the staff of the Deep Sea Prison.”

The deep-sea prison is responsible for providing manpower and resources to implement the new punishments, and it is reasonable for them to demand one-tenth of the prisoners' treasure.

Yang Ming quickly devoured the food on the table, feeling a warm current flowing through his body as his injuries gradually healed. A slight smile played on his lips as he approached Chief Magellan, took his hand, and said:

"Pleasant to work with."

Director Magellan would never have imagined that the proposal provided by Yang Ming was not authorized by Marshal Zhan Guo, but was entirely his personal action.

Yang Ming used his influence to successfully mislead Director Magellan, causing him to have a wonderful misunderstanding.

Yang Ming did this for two reasons: firstly, to amass wealth and provide the initial capital for secretly building his own power base in the future; and secondly, to gather intelligence and establish his own intelligence system.

For eight hundred years, various secrets have been hidden on this sea. The secrets that can be learned from the original plot are only the tip of the iceberg.

Despite Yang Ming's advantage of having foresight, he never became blindly confident.

He knew very well that behind the World Government was the deeply hidden Lord Im, an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years.

If Yang Ming wants to change this already rotten world, he will inevitably have a major conflict with Lord Im.

But Lord Im possesses a trump card, a terrifying weapon capable of instantly erasing a kingdom from the map, seemingly belonging to a supreme being.

It was precisely because he feared Lord Im's power that Yang Ming chose to work hard to build his own network and influence within the Navy, rather than becoming a pirate.

Pirates may be free, but if they do something outrageous, they easily become a thorn in the side of Lord Im, and if they encounter a siege by the major forces of the World Government, they are likely to perish halfway.

The effectiveness of the new punishments proposed in the "Deep Sea Prison Reform Plan" remains to be seen through practice.

Yang Ming was not a man of indiscriminate killing. In the "Deep Sea Prison Reform Plan", prisoners were divided into two groups: those who committed minor crimes would not be subject to new punishments, while those who committed serious crimes would be subjected to a new three-part punishment.

The deep-sea prison has a prisoner list that records basic information about the prisoners on each level of the prison.

As Yang Ming reviewed the list of prisoners, he discovered that most of the prisoners held in the Deep Sea Prison were innocent and had committed heinous crimes. Only a few prisoners had offended the Celestial Dragons or nobles and were forced to go to sea to become pirates, yet they were still able to keep themselves pure and had not committed any heinous acts.

Suddenly, Yang Ming's gaze focused on a line of names.

"Sawtooth Shark Man, Evil Dragon."

"Six months ago, Arlong, a remnant of the Sun Pirates, attempted to attack a Navy warship but was arrested and imprisoned by Admiral Borsalino."

Let's choose the dragon as the guinea pig for our new punishment!

After Yang Ming selected his target, Director Magellan and he returned to the second basement level of the Deepsea Prison.

Shiryu of the Rain seemed to have heard some rumors, and despite being on the verge of death, he rushed over with his heavily injured body to see what was happening.

When they saw Yang Ming reappear, the ferocious beasts lost their usual ferocity, trembling and hiding in dark corners, all thinking to themselves:

"Chief Sphinx was the smartest; he shouldn't have provoked that boy in the first place."

"Look, it hasn't been that long, and he's already on friendly terms with Warden Magellan and Warden Shiryu of the Rain!"

The three walked one after the other down the dark and secluded corridor and stopped in front of a row of cells.

Commissioner Magellan selected a matching key from a row of keys hanging from his waist and inserted it into the lock.

"Crack!"
