Settsetse! The Pirate Nemesis

Then comes the second skill, which is also Master Yi's ultimate skill: Highland Bloodline.

Skill Description: Active Effect: Increases movement speed by 45% and attack speed by 45%. Immune to slowing effects!

It only increases attack speed and movement speed by 45%, which may seem insignificant. However, almost everyone who has played Master Yi knows that the truly important aspect of his R skill isn't the increased attack speed and movement speed, but rather its passive cooldown refresh that can instantly turn the tide of battle!

155·I flow

Skill: Highland Bloodline.

Passive effect: When you get a kill or assist, the cooldown of Master Yi's basic abilities will be reduced by 70%.

Active Effect: Increases movement speed by 45%, attack speed by 45%, and grants immunity to all slowing effects for 7 seconds. While active, kills or assists extend the duration of Highland Bloodline by 7 seconds. Units released during this period ignore wind resistance.

As Master Yi's core skill, the power of Highland Blood passive is undeniable. All basic skills have their cooldowns reduced by 70%, and it also counts towards assists... In other words, on the battlefield, as long as one enemy soldier dies, Sett's Subdued Force and Charged Punch can be released again after a few seconds.

Of course, skills like Deliberate Punch will only deal pitifully low damage if you unleash them infinitely, except for the first hit, unless you have full Gait. Even though Sett can continuously generate Gait through his control of his emotions, it doesn't mean that every Deliberate Punch he uses will have the same effect as the one he used in Shanks' fight.

The power of the active effect is also reflected in the numbers—a 45% speed bonus is terrifying, especially considering that this speed also includes movement speed. This means Sett's Shave's range and speed can be directly increased by at least a third—while the blink distance of Shave's Flash won't be as far as the distance covered with the same amount of stamina, the speed at which he covers that distance will increase dramatically. Simply put, it reduces Ezreal's seamless E casting animation.

More importantly, each kill or assist extends this time by seven seconds... In other words, in large-scale team battles, as long as the enemy keeps dying, Sett's Highland Bloodline will not stop.

Especially the part about ignoring wind resistance – which means that when activated, Sett is not only immune to slowing effects, but can also achieve unlimited acceleration when he has enough stamina!

With the Double Strike buff, Sett's combat power and team-wide destructive force have risen to a new level. The passive effect of Double Strike alone increases Sett's efficiency in performing masturbation by a quarter—it's just unclear whether the post-masturbation cooldown counts as a debuff. If it does, relying on the Highland Bloodline's immunity to slow effects, Sett will essentially become a blue-flame Gatling gun.

Sett was quite satisfied with Master Yi's skill set. It was just a pity his E skill wasn't available—meaning he couldn't pull out the Wuju Path skill, which grants high true damage. However, for Sett, the visceral, relentless barrage of attacks was far more satisfying and enjoyable than true damage!

Taking a deep breath, Sett finished drawing Master Yi's skill pack and then looked at the Unforgiven skill pack beside him.

Sett didn't have high expectations for the swordsman's skill set. The reason was simple: the swordsman's skills were far too incompatible with Sett's.

Take, for example, the ultimate skill "Painful Liquid Pain!" which has a score of 0-21-0.

While it looks incredibly cool in the game, dealing massive damage and providing crowd control upon activation, and even granting a period of armor penetration that ignores 50% of armor after the skill ends, it's fundamentally unsuitable for Sett's playstyle. And his E skill, the ultimate core ability—no, it should be said, the soul of the "Happy Wind Man"—is even less relevant… With Shave, which is practically a no-cooldown Flash, who needs that crappy thing?

With a mix of disappointment and anticipation, Sett opened Yasuo's skill pack.

Skill: Steel Slash.

Skill Description: Throws a sword forward, dealing significant physical damage. Each time the skill is used and hits a target, it accumulates one stack of "Gale". When two stacks of Gale are accumulated, unleashing Steel Slash again will trigger a storm that unleashes an area-of-effect attack.

Yasuo's true core skill has arrived. This is Yasuo's main damage-dealing skill, and also the only skill that can trigger the pre-cast effect of his ultimate ability—knocking up enemies.

But that's just in the game. In reality, someone who can Moonwalk can simply walk on air; knocking someone away is completely useless. Especially the forward sword strike in the skill description—Sett looked utterly dumbfounded—a sword? What is a sword? Is it harder than my bones?

Garbage skill, I'm numb.

Then comes the second skill: Wind Barrier.

Skill effect: Creates a wall of air that lasts for four seconds, blocking most long-range projectiles.

His face remained blank—if I remember correctly, this move also required swinging a sword?

But the question is, have I ever used a sword?

With that in mind, Sett decided to try out the skill he had just acquired. There were no sparring partners in the system space, and he couldn't actually use it. So, Sett simply exited the space, only to open his eyes to the curious gazes of everyone around him.

"Mr. Sett...do you do this often?"

The dragon beside him stared at Sett with some curiosity—his eyes were unfocused and his body stiff. Just now, Sett seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, which was incomprehensible.

In particular, according to Hawkeye, Sett does this every now and then—it's hard to imagine that a monster who seems to have almost no blind spots would have such a habit.

Scratching his head, Sett casually replied, "I just learned a few things..."

"You've learned something?"

Hearing Sett's words, Hawkeye and the others seemed somewhat confused. Seeing this, Sett didn't explain, but instead lowered his head and looked at the teacup in front of him.

Then, he flicked his finger—no response.

He flicked his finger twice, then three times. Just as people were starting to wonder, the fourth flick landed. There was nothing wrong with that, since Sett hadn't even used any force. But in the next instant, a white burst of energy followed the fourth flick, seamlessly merging with it. Almost instantly, the teacup shattered into pieces!

"..." Silence. Then, Hawkeye picked up a piece of the shard and said hesitantly, "You... didn't use any force at all, did you?"

There were no weaklings present; they could easily see that Sett's flick of his finger hadn't used much muscle strength at all.

And this seemingly sudden flick of the finger unleashed a power so powerful that no one could even react in time...

Sett nodded and said, "No."

Similarly, after actually triggering and testing it, Sett also understood—the effect of Double Strike is not calculated based on the strength of the attack itself, but rather as additional damage after Sett's total power is discounted. Furthermore, the method of Double Strike is determined by the fourth major attack animation; that is, if Sett kicks, then Double Strike will also be triggered as a kick.

Thinking about it this way, I really need to be more careful when going to the toilet in the future. Otherwise, if I'm not careful and lose control, Sett's toilet days might turn into little Sett's death anniversary...

After taking another look, Sett breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming that the passive skill would only be activated during combat—otherwise, if the passive skill would result in a double strike every fourth action, Sett might as well not live at all.

Let alone urinating, even defecating can cause a sudden collapse if you're not careful... The sphincter muscles are already quite strong under the influence of a storm, and with an additional 50% force, wouldn't they be like a guillotine when they contract?

However, this level of attempt was still too vague. Taking a deep breath, Sett looked up and asked, "Could you please spar with me? I want to try out what I've just learned!"

"..."

Upon hearing Sett's sudden words, Ryu and the others exchanged glances. Finally, Koushirou said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um... I just sparred with Mr. Hawkeye. If Mr. Sett is willing, please wait a moment."

To be honest, Koushirou was somewhat curious. The best way for swordsmen to communicate is through battle. And in the battle just now, Koushirou could clearly feel Hawkeye's arrogance and self-confidence.

In this situation, to be recognized by Hawkeye and to be on the same boat with him... it would be impossible for Koushirou not to have his own thoughts.

But Sett was clearly impatient—the fight between Hawkeye and Koushirou had already made Sett feel excited.

In other words, he made an appointment with Hawkeye to let Hawkeye deal with the next swordsman. Otherwise, given Sett's personality, he would have intervened in the battle long ago—ideally, he would have gotten them to attack him together!

But there's a limit to how much you can suppress your fighting spirit. Especially now that he's learned a new ability, Sett is like a child who's got a new toy, eager to show it off to his friends.

Long shook his head helplessly. "As for me... it will probably take at least five days for my wound to heal."

Five days? By then, the daylily will be too cold.

Seeing this, Ivankov, the only one present who was uninjured and not exhausted from the battle, stood up with a long face; "Looks like I can't escape..."

"Haha! I didn't expect it to be you? You big-faced bastard, I've been wanting to see what your head feels like for ages!"

Hearing Ivankov's words, Sett stretched his arms, his eyes filled with excitement. Ivankov, somewhat displeased, retorted, "My big face grew like this for the sake of more beauty! Besides, even if Mr. Dragon takes a liking to you, I won't go easy on you!"

They were all strong, and Ivankov didn't think he would be easily defeated—after all, in the eyes of people like Dragon, Ivankov, and Whitebeard, Sett's title of "Sinking Kingdom" was largely undeserved.

After all, that was indeed too heavy a burden... They preferred to believe that Shiki had made a deal with the Navy rather than that Sett had personally taken on the responsibility.

The dojo was still messy, with straw mats scattered everywhere, cut into pieces by the splashing sword energy.

However, Sett didn't seem to care much—in fact, he was quite satisfied. At least, this saved him the trouble of cleaning up after the battle.

“You go first,” Seti said, staring at Ivankov. “I want to try out the new things.”

"Oh? Trying out a new trick? But I won't hold back!"

As he spoke, before Sett could react, Ivankov suddenly widened his eyes. They were much bigger than a bull's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Sett could even clearly see the blood vessels in his eyeballs.

"Death—Affection!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyelids blinked rapidly. The explosive wind generated by the rapid blinking blasted towards Sett like a hidden artillery shell.

Although they were far apart, Sett could feel a threatening force approaching from the air. Without dodging, Sett threw a punch. With a sound like the air exploding, Sett staggered back two steps, and some scratches appeared on his body.

Upon seeing this, Ivankov assumed Sett intended to shatter the exploding air with his fists. He immediately chuckled and reminded Sett, "My Death Gaze isn't something you can contend with with your bare hands!"

Sett simply shook his hand, showing little disappointment—just as he had expected, he indeed couldn't use Steel Slash with his fists…

In that case...

With another deathly glance coming his way, Sett raised his arm once more.

Seeing this, Hawkeye frowned slightly—he knew that Sett, though reckless, was definitely not stupid. He had already determined that the explosive wind couldn't be broken through by brute force, so why was Sett… wait, something's not right.

Upon closer inspection, Hawkeye quickly noticed that although the movements were the same, Sett's attack this time was not delivered with a punch, but rather by raising his straight and slender fingers in a hand-blade stance! Furthermore, this attack was no longer a punch—although the movements were the same, Sett immediately followed with a thrust.

It's just that the fist was replaced with a hand chop... is that what's called a "piercing hand"?

In Sett's previous life, the piercing strike, while a close-quarters combat technique, was rarely used. In a world where even playing basketball could result in a broken finger, this particular technique was most likely used to damage soft tissues and vulnerable joints such as the jaw, intercostal spaces, armpits, throat, and eyes.

In the world of One Piece, the piercing hand technique is not mainstream either—in Naruto, at least there's the Third Raikage's Hell Thrust: One-Piece Piercing Hand to set things up. But in this world, there are almost no well-known piercing hand techniques.

Especially now, with no prior demonstration of his abilities, even Hawkeye is starting to wonder if Sett is being a bit too overconfident.

But in the next instant, Sett's actions powerfully refuted Hawkeye's doubts.

In an instant, the technique of Steel Slash flashed into my mind, like a memory in my DNA. It was clearly a palm, but at the moment of the thrust, a cold light slashed through the air!

Is it a sword? No, it's not a sharp, slender blade. The bulging muscles of the arm, covered in veins, seem to pierce through the air as if even the sound barrier were broken—it's less a sword and more an indestructible spear!

My Style: Steel-Cutting Flash!

Demon Gun!!!

(

156·Instant Kill

He bent his elbow, and then the muscles in his arm bulged one after another. His heart pumped, and the bulging veins spread across his arm and fingers.

At the moment of the thrust, a semi-transparent sonic boom visibly appeared at the tip of the piercing hand. Accompanied by a belated, ear-piercing sonic boom, the piercing hand, like a giant spear, directly pierced through the explosive air of Death Wave.

After piercing it, Sett did not shatter it. Instead, immediately after the thrust, he opened his five fingers, grabbed the colorless and invisible explosive air, pulled it behind him, and casually detonated it.

boom!!!

With a deafening roar, intense flames erupted from Sett's palm.

Seeing this, Hawkeye, standing to the side, seemed somewhat unsure—was the attack's focus the attack on the piercing hand, or some other kind of Armament Haki...? The piercing hand enhanced by Steel Slash was simply too fast; even Hawkeye's sharp eyesight couldn't guarantee he had seen it clearly. Techniques like this are easier to understand in actual combat than through observation.

Seeing Sett defuse his attack, Ivankov wasn't surprised, but he was curious about how Sett's fragile fingers sliced ​​through the air and pierced his Death Gaze—though he figured it must be some kind of Armament Haki technique.

Without much thought, Ivankov spread his arms wide, and his fingernails grew rapidly, instantly feeling like steel needles.

Instead of stabbing Sett, he plunged the stab into his own cheek.

"Ambrio Facial Growth Hormone!!"

With the injection of large amounts of hormones into his face, Ivankov's already over two-meter-long face grew at a visible rate once again. Without any change in his body, his face swelled to over five meters in length.
