From the moment he became the Blue Silver Emperor of Douluo Continent

On an unnamed island, Shi Yin and Aokiji stand facing each other.

"Unleash your full power!"

"Of course, I won't stand on ceremony."

Shi Yin really doesn't hold back at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished and reappeared in front of Aokiji in the next instant. He pointed a finger, incorporating the technique of finger gun, and his finger instantly became harder than refined iron, his finger force capable of penetrating gold and stone.

"Is this 'shaving' or 'finger gun'?"

"No, not entirely. You've improved it, kid, infused it with some kind of energy? Not domineering power?"

Aokiji was stunned, not expecting that this little guy would give him such a big surprise as soon as they met.

Let's not even talk about where this guy learned his six techniques.

Just the fact that this guy actually improved the Six Styles is quite extraordinary. The Six Styles is a martial arts technique that has been passed down within the Navy for hundreds of years and has already been refined to the extreme. Where is there any room for improvement?

At most, it's just that after mastering the Six Styles, one can develop more unique and personalized techniques.

However, this guy's actions were not about comprehending a unique and profound secret, but rather about making basic improvements, incorporating some other martial arts techniques, and raising the upper limit of the Six Styles.

He reached out and caught Shi Yin's blow, a blow powerful enough to shatter gold and split rocks.

His hands were as steady as a machine, without the slightest tremor.

Shi Yin turned around and used his waist to generate power, then delivered a side kick and retracted his fingers in the process.

Aokiji blocked the attack again.

Shi Yin immediately retreated, walking back more than ten meters.

Immediately following was a powerful kick, and a massive moon blade hurtled towards Aokiji.

His figure disappeared again, but following the moon blade slashed by Lan's foot, he launched another wave of attacks against Aokiji.

Faced with this attack, Aokiji finally seemed to be taking it more seriously.

A flash of black light appeared on his hand, which was covered with Armament Haki.

He threw a punch at the Moon Blade, which not only shattered the Moon Blade but also blocked the kick that Shi Yin followed up with.

Although Zephyr always criticizes the current three admirals of the Navy for only focusing on developing Devil Fruit abilities and neglecting physical fitness and Haki.

But that applies to top-tier players of their caliber.

For example, the previous admirals of the Navy, such as Zephyr, Garp, and Sengoku, as well as the previous Fleet Admiral Kong, were all strong individuals who placed more emphasis on physical fitness and Haki.

Just look at the names they've earned: "Black Wrist," "Iron Fist," and "Steel Bone"—you can tell from those names that they're incredibly physically strong and have an imposing presence.

However, all three admirals of this generation are famous for their Devil Fruit abilities.

It's unrealistic to leave three top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruits undeveloped.

Developing Devil Fruit abilities to increase strength is far faster than painstakingly training the body and honing Haki. Even a fool would know which to choose.

Even so, Aokiji and his crew's physical abilities and domineering presence are still among the best in the world. They're just not considered outstanding among their peers.

Dealing with a player of Shigin's caliber would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

"Alright, that's enough warm-up. Now, buddy, I'm going to get serious."

Aokiji smiled at Shi Yin.

Shi Yin found the laugh somewhat eerie.

Sure enough, the next two hours turned into Aokiji beating him one-sidedly.

Toki no longer had any ability to fight back, and even his occasional counterattacks seemed so weak that they were completely ineffective against Aokiji.

Two hours later, Aokiji finally stopped, by which time Gin's face was already swollen.

"Well then, goodbye, buddy."

Feeling refreshed after beating up Toki Gin, Aokiji walked towards his bicycle on the beach. It was getting late, and the tide was about to come in.

But Aokiji had no intention of staying. He got on his bicycle and slowly pedaled away. A thin layer of ice had formed under the bicycle wheels to ensure that the bicycle wouldn't sink when he rode over it. Perhaps this was also a way for Aokiji to train.

Incidentally, Aokiji did not use his Devil Fruit powers at all during his sparring session with Toki Gin.

He easily beat Shi Yin with just his physical strength and domineering presence, leaving Shi Yin with no chance to fight back.

Shi Yin sighed helplessly; the gap between him and these top players was truly vast.

Having personally experienced just a fraction of Aokiji's strength, he now understood just how terrifying the power of these top fighters on the high seas truly was.

That was an all-around, flawless power; it was the kind of power that could crush him in any dimension.

However, Toki Gin was not discouraged.

Conversely, the stronger these top ocean athletes are, the greater the potential for improvement they can achieve.

He still has a lot of potential to be explored in this world.

If he were to truly reach the pinnacle of this world, he would be confident enough to slay gods upon his return. As long as the supreme god and the god-king of the divine realm do not descend to the mortal realm, he dares to refuse to eat beef.

But right now, treating myself is the most important thing.

Aokiji was still very careful in his attacks. Although he looked disheveled, he was covered in superficial wounds and had not suffered any serious injuries.

I gave myself a "Life Light" treatment, and my face, which had swollen like a pig's head, went down.

Although I got beaten up, it wasn't for nothing.

Aokiji demonstrated the secrets of Armament Haki to him very clearly, showing the two methods of application: binding and hardening.

Contrary to his initial assumption, Armament Haki is not a supernatural energy, but rather a manifestation of spiritual will.

Essentially, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki are all applications of mental will, only the methods of application differ.

The total amount of domineering aura has little to do with physical fitness, but rather with mental fortitude.

However, the two are not entirely unrelated. If one's physical condition is too poor, even the strongest will cannot sustain it; if one's spirit is weak, even the strongest body cannot exude an aura of dominance.

Knowing this, he will know the direction if he wants to awaken his domineering aura in the future.

It's getting late, and things have come to this, so let's go to sleep.

At midnight, fully energized, Shi Yin woke up precisely on time, ready to fly over the Red Earth Continent.

As he got closer to the Red Earth, he realized why so few people chose to fly over it.

This continent is truly high; the main body of the red earth continent is nearly 10,000 meters above sea level. To cross it from above, one must simultaneously face two major challenges: natural environmental hazards and man-made defense threats from the world government.

In terms of the natural environment, one aspect is that the air is thin at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and ordinary humans will suffer from hypoxia and disability if they stay there for a long time, and the temperature is extremely low; another aspect is that the red earth continent is a giant mountain range that surrounds the globe, which will stir up the atmosphere and make the surrounding area prone to strong turbulence and thunderstorms.

In terms of man-made defenses, the central section of the Red Line is the Celestial Dragons' holy land, belonging to the World Government's highest alert zone. Any unidentified flying object entering its airspace will immediately attract the attention of the Navy and CP0 for interception.

Fortunately, Shi Yin didn't plan to fly directly over the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

He just wanted to avoid Mary Geoise and fly over from other no-man's-land.

The World Government's defense focus remains on the area around Mary Geoise; other areas are not heavily guarded.

The entire Red Earth Continent is so vast, they can't possibly defend against it all.
