One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

"Die!"

Amidst the astonished and fearful gazes of the pirates blocking his path, Yang Ming glanced forward lightly.

Flames, carrying surging heat, swept past the swords and blades that the pirates were blocking their way, unleashing their fury upon them.

In an instant, the pirate's simple clothes became the best flammable material. Licked by the flames, they instantly turned into a human torch. Even if he lay on the ground and rolled around, he could not extinguish the flames on his body.

This is the flame that punishes evildoers!

Yang Ming twirled his sword, appearing like a king wielding flames amidst the surrounding fireworks. The flames could not harm him in the slightest; instead, they seemed to eagerly welcome the arrival of this new king.

At this moment, everyone was stunned!

As Ace watched the figure approaching, enveloped in flames, his heart seemed to be deeply moved, and a strange expression appeared on his face, as if he were looking forward to it.

Sabo's mouth gaped open like a koi fish, unable to believe that the little boy in front of him was his familiar friend.

We agreed to have fun together, but you've been secretly working hard behind my back?

Luffy smacked his lips and muttered softly:

"You still say you're not a Devil Fruit user?"

Seeing Yang Ming approach step by step, flames swirling around him like the most loyal guard, the Bursam Pirates were horrified.

The image of their companion dying tragically in the flames was still vivid in their minds. They couldn't understand why this boy possessed such powerful abilities.

The more vicious and wicked a person is, the more they are afraid of death and attached to the worldly pleasures.

The Bursam Pirates retreated into a small group, forming a defensive circle.

"You, you don't come any closer!"

Bursam's voice trembled slightly, and even the arm that raised the flintlock musket was shaking.

Yang Ming abruptly raised his head, his pupils reflecting the raging fire around him, yet also seemingly revealing the fury within him. His tone was surprisingly calm:

"When you wantonly take the lives of others, have you ever thought that you yourself might also have your life taken by others?"

"Ah!"

A soft, indescribable laugh rang out, and just as the Flash cooldown ended, Yang Ming vanished from his spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in the center of the Bursam Pirates.

"Turn into ashes of flames!"

Yang Ming used his feet as a fulcrum and rotated clockwise once.

The flaming sword drew in the raging flames all around, as if to vindicate the unjustly killed scavengers, engulfing all the pirates in a sea of ​​fire.

The screams, the cries of anguish, the sounds of people collapsing—all these sounds filled the air.

A foot crushed the charred corpse, and a young boy emerged from the inferno carrying Bursam's head.

The heatwave ruffled the boy's bangs, but his dark eyes shone like stars. Despite not appearing particularly tall, his figure seemed exceptionally imposing against the backdrop of the surrounding flames and burning corpses.

This scene was deeply imprinted in the memories of Ace, Sabo, and Luffy, and it was difficult to erase even after many years.

When Yang Ming and his group returned to Dadan's house, Kapu was still enjoying a rare moment of leisure, lying on a beach chair in beach clothes, holding a book with a cover featuring a hot woman, and occasionally letting out a cryptic laugh.

"We're back!"

The childish voice approached from afar, and Karp shuddered, immediately hiding the book in his hand behind his back.

Karp took off the magic mirror and saw Yang Ming and the other three walking out of the forest covered in dust.

"what?"

With his sharp eyes, Karp quickly noticed that the severed head Yang Ming was carrying was none other than Bursam, the person he had assigned the mission to.

Although Bursam's bounty on the Navy's list of East Blue pirates is only two or three million, he is a minor character that Garp could easily crush.

However, in Karp's view, such a minor character was more than enough to serve as a whetstone for Yang Ming and his group of four.

Karp originally estimated that even if Yang Ming and his three companions finally defeated Bursam, it would still take them a considerable amount of time and at least a week to complete the mission.

But to Karp's utter surprise, the entire process, from their descent down the mountain to hunt Bursam to their return to Dadan's family, took less than twelve hours.

"Could it be that this Bursam is just a fraud?"

However, when Garp learned about Yang Ming's exploits during the entire hunt from Ace, Sabo, and Luffy, he immediately overturned his previous assumptions.

Garp looked at the boy standing there, seemingly deep in thought, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Yang Ming, your growth has exceeded my expectations."

Karp still remembers that when he first met Yang Ming, the other party had just left the Uncertainty Terminal. Due to long-term malnutrition, he was as thin as a monkey, just skin and bones, and looked miserable.

However, after several months of rest and relentless training, the opponent not only caught up with the training progress of Ace, Sabo, and Luffy in just a few months, but also surpassed them, and now gave him a big surprise.

Seeing that Yang Ming seemed not to have heard him and was instead absorbed in his own world, Karp couldn't help but ask:

"What are you thinking about?"

Yang Ming gathered his scattered thoughts and said in a deep voice:

"I've been thinking about this for a long time. How many scoundrels like Bursam are there in this world?"

"If no one is willing to seek justice for those who have died unjustly, how many more human tragedies will occur?"

Garp had already learned of Bursam's evil deeds from Ace and the other two, and also knew that Bursam was being instigated by the upper-class nobles of the Goa Kingdom.

However, sometimes, simply using force cannot solve the problem.

If force could solve all the world's troubles, then the navy, with its many top-tier fighters, and the world government, with its Uranus, wouldn't be so busy dealing with the constant pirates rising up everywhere.

Garp didn't want this promising young man, who had the potential to become a pillar of the Navy, to follow the same path as his son, Dragon. So he avoided the topic and instead changed the subject:

“Yang Ming, as long as you return to the Navy Headquarters with me, you will be able to find out what justice is in your heart.”

"Justice?"

Yang Ming's gaze passed over Garp's tall and imposing figure and landed on the navy cloak that had been washed and was hanging on the hanger, fluttering in the wind. The word "Justice" written on it seemed somewhat glaring.

Chapter 9 From the moment you enter the kitchen, you bear the responsibility of cooking delicious food.

The Kingdom of Goa, a seaport.

A naval warship with a dog's head carved on its prow is docked here.

The navy has a clear hierarchy, with officers of different ranks being equipped with sailing warships of different classes.

The warship is 65 meters long, 14 meters wide, and has a draft of 7.8 meters. It is equipped with 100 main guns, can store 30 tons of gunpowder and 110 tons of shells, and can sail continuously for more than half a year. Its standard displacement is 3450 tons and its maximum load capacity is 1920.1 tons.

Currently, the main power of naval warships still relies on the power of three sails. The mainmast is 61.3 meters high, the foremast is 54.1 meters high, and the aft mast is 45.7 meters high. The ship can achieve a speed of 9 knots by relying solely on the power of the sails, and the maximum crew capacity is 730 people.

The bottom of the warships, below sea level, is coated with a layer of seastone to protect them from harassment and attacks by sea kings.

Such a naval warship is a veritable mobile fortress at sea, and it is very difficult to destroy or sink it with ordinary shells.

Yang Ming, dressed in a naval trainee uniform, bid farewell to Ace, Sabo, and Luffy.

Despite having only spent two or three months together, Yang Ming won over the three men with his actions and became their good brother.

Of course, this brotherhood is more than that of ordinary good friends, but it hasn't reached the level of sworn brothers.

The relationship between Ace, Sabo, and Luffy can only be described in one sentence:

“I don’t ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but I ask to die on the same day, month, and year.”

Yang Ming stood at the bow of the boat and waved to the three people on the shore:

"After I leave, there will be no one to make you compete in the same way, so don't miss me."

Ace and Sabo's lips twitched slightly. At such a sad moment, Yang Ming deliberately made them recall heartbreaking memories.

With Yang Ming joining them, the training volume of the three of them increased dramatically, and they also had to be given a lot of instructions by Capra every day.

"Look at Yang Ming, he can learn it after I teach him once, but you guys can't learn it no matter how many times I teach you. Now, do it again for me!"

"Yang Ming's progress today is due to his extra practice every night. You bunch of rascals should learn from him. Starting tonight, we'll all practice extra together!"

"Work hard! Keep going! Strive! Are you even inferior to a newcomer like Yang Ming?!"

Ace and Sabo could still hear Garp's angry roar, which made them feel terrible.

Of the four, Luffy was the youngest. Having inherited Garp's shamelessness from a young age, he didn't realize how tough the training had been. He kept waving his arms and shouting:

"Yang Ming, when we meet again, I will definitely become the Pirate King!"

Yang Ming, Ace, and Sabo all covered their faces.

This slogan was shouted in front of at least five hundred naval officers and soldiers!

Yang Ming believed that if Luffy weren't Garp's grandson, he would have been hung up and beaten by the Marines who rushed over long ago.

"Luffy, I hope you've improved by the time we meet next time, or I'll catch you!"

Yang Ming's voice faded into the distance as the warship set sail, with only the damp sea breeze still blowing along the shore.

After Yang Ming boarded the warship, he did not receive any preferential treatment because of his special relationship with Garp.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of this special relationship that Karp directly assigned Yang Ming to the grassroots level, starting him as a trainee.

Trainees live in single rooms, which can only accommodate a single bed with no extra space and no windows to see the outside. The living conditions are quite poor.

The trainees did a wide variety of jobs, including sweeping, mopping, washing dishes, and doing laundry—these were the most basic tasks.

Every morning, trainees also have to go to the deck with other officers and soldiers for daily training.

In addition to work and training, the Navy also has very strict requirements for the lives of trainees, requiring them to fold their blankets neatly after getting up and to eat within a specified time.

In addition, at night, Yang Ming would receive academic instruction from Karp's deputy, who would introduce him to the world's writing system, geography, maritime knowledge, and cultural environment.

Yang Ming felt like he had returned to the period before the college entrance examination, when he had to be on edge every moment to complete a lot of work, training and study, just like a spinning top that could never stop.

Most people really couldn't withstand such a high-pressure environment; they would probably collapse long ago.

But Yang Ming had a fierce determination in his heart, and he persevered. Like a dried-up sponge, he absorbed all kinds of knowledge with all his might, constantly enriching himself.

Initially, the naval officers and soldiers on the warship thought Yang Ming was someone with connections and treated him coldly.

But after spending this time together, everyone gives Yang Ming a thumbs up whenever they talk about him.

Those who have never sailed on the ocean will always have all sorts of fantasies about this unknown vast expanse, praising the sea with beautiful, poetic words, and describing it as a fairyland.
