If you make a mistake, you should make amends. In the original story, Olvia died, but now that I'm here, you can just relax and be a good mother. Little Robin also needs maternal love!
Olvia pulled Robin aside and asked her many questions. When she learned that Robin was not doing well, she felt extremely guilty and kept apologizing.
However, it's clear that Robin doesn't blame her mother. She's just happy to see her mother, so excited that she feels like she's melting into her mother's arms.
"They're here already? A little faster than I expected." Suddenly, Yi Shuihan frowned, then put on a specially prepared Grim Reaper mask. He didn't want to reveal his identity, even if only superficially; he had to at least save face for the Navy.
The sudden sound of footsteps interrupted the warm scene, and a group of sailors in naval uniforms quickly surrounded the Tree of Omniscience.
"Nicole Olvia, you can't escape this time. And you old bastards, daring to research the Void History, you deserve to die too. Eradicate them, take Olvia away, and the Tree of Knowledge will have no reason to exist anymore. Burn it." Spandam, an official of the World Government and Spandam's father from Enies Lobby, was in charge of this matter, speaking with extreme arrogance.
Neither Kuzan nor Sakazuki came? Well, given their status, they wouldn't need to handle such a trivial matter personally.
“You can’t do this! We’re not criminals, and we haven’t broken any laws. The Tree of Knowledge is a precious treasure of the world; it can’t just be burned like this.” Librarian Clover was agitated, completely unable to believe that the Navy would be so ruthless, coming up without asking any questions and directly trying to kill people and burn the Tree of Knowledge.
The other scholars were also bewildered. Faced with death, especially one that came so suddenly, no one could accept it quickly, especially since they believed they had done nothing wrong.
Olvia put little Robin aside and came out.
"I'll go with you, please let them go." Has it really come to this? But at least I can see Robin one last time; I have no regrets! But why am I so unwilling to accept this?
Without Yi Shuihan, the next outcome would have been Olvia being captured, the other archaeologists being captured or killed, and the Tree of Omniscience being burned. But there are no "what ifs".
Little Robin panicked. Her mother was about to be taken away, her beloved library grandpa was about to be taken away and killed, and the Tree of Knowledge was about to be burned. This was completely beyond her imagination. She was filled with despair and at a loss because the other party was the Navy. She didn't even think about resisting, and dared not resist.
At that moment, a warm, large hand enveloped her little head.
"Leave the rest to me, don't worry, everything will be fine."
It's my brother. I still have my brother. He will definitely help me and drive away the navy.
Little Robin looked at Yi Shuihan with surprise. Yi Shuihan's sudden act of putting on a mask was subconsciously ignored, as such a trivial matter was insignificant at the moment.
With a slight smile, Yi Shuihan stepped forward and walked to Olvia's side.
Olvia looked at Yi Shuihan with some confusion. She had noticed that the young man seemed to be very familiar with her daughter, but she hadn't had a chance to ask about their relationship.
"Take little Robin and leave quickly. There's nothing for you to do here." Suddenly realizing that her daughter might be in danger here, Olvia said anxiously to Yi Shuihan.
"At least you're thoughtful enough to still think of Robin," Yi Shuihan nodded inwardly, but it was impossible for him to actually obey.
"Woman, step back. This is where men should do things." Yi Shuihan pulled Olvia behind him, displaying an extremely domineering and ruthless demeanor.
Olvia was completely bewildered, never expecting Yi Shuihan to do this, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
"From today onwards, this island is under my protection." Yi Shuihan's tone was calm, but it was full of unquestionable authority.
"Who do you think you are, a clown? Wearing a mask? Do you think I'm scared just because you're wearing a mask?" Spandam looked at Yi Shuihan with disdain. In his eyes, he had real naval elites behind him, and could call for support at any time. He was not afraid of even the greatest pirates and was full of confidence.
Yi Shuihan frowned beneath the mask, a sign that he was about to lose his temper, while Spandam had no idea what the consequences of provoking Yi Shuihan would be.
"Shoot this troublemaker dead! Daring to openly oppose the Navy, he's asking for death!" Spandam was so arrogant he was practically strutting around.
As Spandam spoke, the soldiers behind him moved, pointing their guns at Yi Shuihan and pulling the triggers.
It's clear that the navy Spandam brought were all his loyal followers, showing no mercy to ordinary people and obeying his orders like machines.
"Be careful!!"
"boom"
A sound was heard, but it wasn't a gunshot.
"What happened?" The marine who was holding the gun was sent flying backward along with the other sailors behind him. The upper body of the marine who was holding the gun was caved in, and he was no longer human. He was clearly going to die. It was a very miserable sight.
Yi Shuihan's movements were so fast that these small fry couldn't even see them. So Spandam had no idea that it was Yi Shuihan who did it and looked around blankly.
"Leave, or die!" The words were few, but they made people believe for no reason that it was not a joke.
"You did this before?" Spandam wasn't stupid; he realized what had happened at this moment, but he didn't want to admit it. How could he have encountered such a powerful person?
"You have one minute." Yi Shuihan didn't answer, but instead stated the time limit.
This disregard infuriated Spandam, but he dared not act rashly, as the previous scene had made him realize that Yi Shuihan was not someone to be trifled with.
Unlike the Navy, Robin and her companions were filled with hope, never expecting things to turn around so quickly.
Chapter 56, The Demon-Slaying Order is Activated
Spadain is now in a dilemma. He wants to kill Yi Shuihan immediately, but what just happened makes him hesitate.
Silence, only silence, so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.
A minute isn't long, so it passed quickly, and Spandam was still in the same spot.
Spandam didn't think Yi Shuihan would actually kill him. After all, openly opposing the Navy and killing World Government officials was no joke.
If they really did that, the Navy and the World Government would definitely not let them off the hook. They would face a full-scale siege by the Navy, and unless their strength reached the level of the Pirate King Roger or one of the Four Emperors in the future, they would be doomed.
Furthermore, for someone as proud and arrogant as Spandam, being taken advantage of by an unknown junior like Yi Shuihan was simply intolerable. If he were to leave like this, he felt he would never be able to face anyone again.
Although he was doing well, there would always be competitors. If his political enemies seized on this and said that he had fallen because of an unknown person, or was even scared away by a single sentence, his future would be difficult.
For various reasons, Spandam cannot back down now, and he still has a trump card: the authority to issue the Buster Call is currently in his hands.
“The time has come, so…” Yi Shuihan made his move. He had already given them the opportunity, and since they didn’t appreciate it, there was no need for him to hold back. Besides, these guys were clearly from the World Government’s navy.
Yi Shuihan slowly walked forward, treating the navy as if they were nothing, with a leisurely demeanor.
“You forced me to do this. I wasn’t planning on doing this, but now…” Spandam said, taking out a special golden Den Den Mushi, and then, “This is Spandam. Activate the Buster Call. Target: Ohara.”
The moment the "Buster Call" was announced, everyone who knew about it changed their expressions drastically. Olvia even collapsed to the ground, her face filled with despair.
"The Demon Buster Order consists of ten warships, five vice admirals, and elite naval forces, with the aim of carrying out a devastating attack," Yi Shuihan said slowly.
Spandam was somewhat surprised to hear this. "I didn't expect you to know this too. However, it's too late. The Buster Call will not stop. This place will soon be a wasteland. You can only wait to die in despair!"
"Let's go," Spandam ordered the sailors behind him. He didn't want to stay behind and get killed by mistake.
"Did I tell you to leave?" Yi Shuihan's icy voice rang out, and then he raised his hand.
Each time he pointed at a marine, his finger emitted a white light at incredible speed, instantly piercing through several marines in the direction his finger was pointing.
Using your fingers to create the effect of a storm kick is a method that Yi Shuihan recently developed. This effect can only be achieved when using a finger gun while your fingers are in an iron block state.
With each ray of light, one or even several marines would fall to the ground, their bodies pierced, dying instantly.
"what!"
Screams filled the air, and in a short time, most of the marines Spandam had brought were dead.
"Run! It's a ghost!" Even these so-called elite marines were thrown into a panic by such a bizarre situation, and fled in disarray. As for turning around and fighting back, they didn't even think about it.
A moment later, only Spandam was left standing still. It wasn't that he didn't want to run, but he was so terrified that he couldn't move his body.
"tick"
A pale yellow liquid dripped down Spandam's trouser leg; he was so frightened he wet himself.
Yi Shuihan frowned and gave Spandane a look of disgust.
"Don't worry, I'll handle the Buster Call. But you'd better all prepare to leave, otherwise even if their navy fails this time, they'll come back next time." Yi Shuihan said this and left. He believed that these stubborn scholars would understand after this experience.
Before Robin could react, Yi Shuihan had already disappeared from their sight, carrying Spandane in one hand.
Only after Yi Shuihan left did these people react, causing an uproar.
"That's incredible! Just who is he? How could he kill so many marines so easily?"
"It's terrifying. He's like a murderous demon, killing so many people without any reaction."
"So what should we do? Should we listen to him and leave?"
"We have no choice but to leave! Everyone saw what happened just now. The Navy has gone completely mad and used the Buster Call. There's nothing we can do if we stay. We might as well take all the books of the Tree of Knowledge and leave the seeds behind."
"That's right, that's the only way."
"..."
Yi Shuihan quickly brought Spandane to the shore of Ohara. When he arrived, the Buster Call warships were already nearby, about to launch a bombardment of Ohara.
"Lieutenant General, preparations are complete. Shall we proceed with the Buster Call immediately?" On one of the warships, a stern-faced officer reported to a navy officer wearing a cloak of justice. This man was Sakazuki, who had appeared there at some point.
Not far from Sakazuki, Kuzan was also prominently present.
"Then let's get started," Sakazuki ordered expressionlessly.
“No, there are still so many innocent islanders up there. Shouldn’t we tell them to leave first?” Kuzan stopped him. He knew the Buster Call was inevitable, but he also hoped to minimize the damage.
Sakazuki gave Kuzan a cold look. "Womanly compassion. Since the islanders knew that those historians were studying the historical texts but didn't report it, that's covering it up. They can't blame anyone for their deaths. If they didn't know, then they died for justice, and that's a worthy death."
It's hard to imagine that such cold words came from a navy officer rather than a pirate.
Kuzan remained silent, clearly disagreeing with Sakazuki's words, but he was not in charge now.
"Initiate the artillery barrage immediately," Sakazuki ordered.
"Yes!"
The warships began to move, and with the sound of cannons, countless shells bombarded O'Hara, creating a deafening roar.
Just as the shells were about to reach Ohara, countless white rays of light burst forth in the air, each colliding precisely with a shell, and fireworks began to light up the sky.
"That is?"
"There are experts!"
The navy spotted the figure in the air: Yi Shuihan, wearing a death mask, single-handedly halting the attack of the Demon Slayer Order.
Chapter 57, Villain, You Are Shameless
"Dare to obstruct my righteous punishment? You deserve to die!" Sakazuki's anger surged, and he used Moonwalk to fly into the air.
It's here after all. Yi Shuihan silently watched Sakazuki approach, without the slightest fear.
A scorching aura rose, and Sakazuki's hands transformed into magma. He threw a punch at Yi Shuihan, a massive magma fist hurtling straight at Yi Shuihan with astonishing power, as if it would obliterate him into dust.
"Dead!" Sakazuki was stunned, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Yi Shuihan already on the shore. "When?"
Without hesitation, Sakazuki also gave chase.
"Lieutenant General Sakazuki, save me! This thug killed all my men!" Spandam cried out in surprise. In his opinion, Yi Shuihan was no match for Sakazuki. After all, Sakazuki was not an ordinary lieutenant general, but a candidate general, whose strength was already at the general level.
Sakazuki frowned upon seeing Spandam. He smelled the strange odor emanating from Spandam, gave him a cold look, and said nothing.
Seeing that Sakazuki had not made any move for a long time, Spandam became angry and embarrassed. He was a direct official of the World Government, arrogant and proud, and considered himself superior to the Navy. Even if Sakazuki became a future admiral, he could not be ignored like this.
"Hurry up and do it! I'm a member of the World Government, or I'll make sure you don't become an admiral."
"Huh?" Spandam's mindless words touched a nerve with Sakazuki. He was an ambitious man and would never allow anyone to stand in his way. He had previously planned to save Spandam while he was at it, but now he changed his mind. Dead men tell no tales.
However, it shouldn't be too direct.
"No matter who you are, anyone who dares to interfere in the Navy's affairs will die." Sakazuki moved, appearing in front of Yi Shuihan with a single step.
His fist turned fiery red, clearly intending to melt Yi Shuihan with its intense heat. He didn't believe that Yi Shuihan could escape at such close range as before.
However, Sakazuki miscalculated once again.
"Armament Haki?" Sakazuki was surprised to see the pitch-black fist blocking his way. It was unbelievable to encounter someone with Haki in such a small place. Recalling Yi Shuihan's earlier appearance in the air, he was clearly using Moonwalk, which made Sakazuki even more suspicious.
"Is he wearing a mask to hide his identity? Could he also be a Marine?" A thought flashed through Sakazuki's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense, but he also became increasingly angry.
In his view, while pirates were certainly despicable, betraying the Navy was even more unforgivable.
Watch me take off your mask and expose you to the naked eye in the Navy.
Having decided to expose Yi Shuihan's true identity, Sakazuki seized every opportunity to attack Yi Shuihan, determined to remove his mask.
As the battle raged, Sakazuki grew increasingly alarmed, for Yi Shuihan's displayed strength was simply too astonishing, leaving him unable to find a way to counter it in such a short time.
In particular, his opponent's mastery of domineering aura was several levels higher than his own. He even felt like he had encountered Garp. Fortunately, his opponent's physical skills and strength were much weaker than Garp's, otherwise it was hard to say whether he could have defeated him.
"bang bang"
Intense collisions rang out continuously. In just a short time, the ground around the two was riddled with craters and cracks, and scorching lava was also present, making it look like a scorching hell.
If this continues, it really can't end in a short time. What should we do?
Yi Shuihan was also getting a little annoyed. Even using only the Six Styles and regular Haki, it would be difficult for him to defeat Sakazuki. It would probably be a long battle. Normally, he wouldn't care, but Sakazuki wasn't just one person.
"Kuzan, come help me take down this villain!" Sakazuki suddenly shouted. It turned out that Kuzan had arrived outside the battlefield at some point.
Although Kuzan was somewhat unwilling, he still made his move, and Yi Shuihan was instantly subjected to both ice and fire.
Yi Shuihan was startled, but then smiled.
"I'll help too!" Yi Shuihan's clone also appeared on the scene. "You villain, die!"
