Chapter 245: A First Trial of Skill

The reason I say the power I have obtained is a lower-level existence compared to the Blood Scripture is that after these Dharma Power transformed, their quantity suddenly expanded by dozens of times; it is clearly because the quality decreased that the quantity increased.

"What should I call it? Vampire power, or should I call it magic power..."

Just as Uchiha Feiyu was still pondering, the Great Pirate John, holding a door-sized greatsword, had already slashed over:

"Damn Marine, you actually dare to ignore me!! Let you taste my Great Severing!"

The door-sized greatsword wreathed in Armament Haki struck directly onto Uchiha Feiyu's head. With a clang, sparks flew everywhere. A few hairs fell from Uchiha Feiyu's head, and a faint trace of blood could be seen, yet it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"How... how is this possible!! Clearly there was no Armament Haki defense at all... yet you could block my Great Severing!"

Interrupted in his train of thought by this Great Severing, Uchiha Feiyu raised his head and said with some disdain:

"Tsk... who told you it's night right now? My defensive ability at this moment is no less than an Undying Body or an Iron Balloon; it's even equivalent to the sum of both!"

As a monster among the Ghost Race who also ate the Azure Dragon Fruit, Kaido not only has astonishing defensive power, but his recovery power is even more formidable, while Charlotte Linlin's Iron Balloon is purely defensive ability.

At night, Uchiha Feiyu's own Shura Body, combined with the enhancement of the Mythical Zoan Vampire Fruit, results in a defense no less than an Iron Balloon after both are doubled, and his recovery power is even superior to an Undying Body.

Even without using Armament Haki for defense, this kind of pirate who doesn't even know how to flow Armament Haki cannot hurt him; being able to lose a few hairs and leave a tiny bloodstain is already the limit.

"Mon... monster!! Where did you come from, monster?!!"

Watching the performance of the pirate captain before him, Uchiha Feiyu suddenly felt bored. With a casual wave of his hand, the Sandai Kitetsu, flashing with a blood-colored light, swept across the pirate's neck. In an instant, there was another Dried Corpse on the ground.

"My speed has increased by so much. The Vampire Fruit's bonus to physical defense and strength isn't too strong, but the bonus to recovery and speed is terrifyingly high! In other words, have I now become a speed-type character?"

Moreover, this bonus is not just physical speed; it also includes reaction ability, Observation Haki, and many other aspects. Now, as long as he concentrates, Uchiha Feiyu can even feel the world slowing down by several times, as if entering Bullet Time.

"Pity... magic power is much inferior compared to Dharma Power. However, once this clone returns to the main body, all the magic power can be refined back into Dharma Power. This means that in the future, when I harvest resources, I will be able to obtain even more enhancements!"

"Let's work hard on developing the Vampire Fruit first! If one day I can develop a skill like Dead River, I will be invincible in this world!"

"However, the Faith Power has been consumed almost entirely. Devil Fruit Awakening, strengthening Devil Fruit Ability... although Mythical Zoan itself carries a lot of faith, this kind of Devil Fruit also consumes more."

Just as the difficulty of ordinary Zoan Awakening and Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit Awakening is completely different, the Faith Power required for these two types of Devil Fruits is naturally worlds apart. After awakening and strengthening the Vampire Fruit, the accumulated Faith Power is already nearly exhausted.

Carrying the head of this 300 million Belly pirate, Uchiha Feiyu flew back to the Marine warship and conveniently asked Nami for a pair of Seastone Handcuffs.

Stroking these Seastone Handcuffs, Uchiha Feiyu could feel his Devil Fruit Ability being greatly suppressed, but there was no feeling of weakness throughout his body. Clearly, the restraining effect of the Seastone on him had also been greatly weakened.

"Faith Power... fortunately, I have Alabasta as a base. Otherwise, it would really not be easy to bring out the full potential of the Devil Fruit Ability."

After returning to the Marine base, Uchiha Feiyu directly handed over the head of the pirate worth 300 million, which saved him the travel expenses for this trip.

When member nations contact the Marines to ask for help in escorting personnel, they certainly have to pay. It just so happens that this trip's travel expenses were about 300 million, which offset the cost with this pirate's head.

There were no problems when coming, and it was equally peaceful on the way back. The Marine's shipping routes are indeed very useful; pirates in the New World seem to have reached a tacit understanding with the Marines and do not patrol the Marine shipping routes.

It is also because at this time period those Supernovas have not yet exerted their power; otherwise, I am afraid there would be no peaceful place in the entire Grand Line.

Crossing the Red Line and entering the first half of the Grand Line, Paradise, there was no Smoker to pick him up this time, but there were still Marine bases that would dispatch ships to escort them all the way.

It has been more than a month since obtaining the inheritance of the Yang God World. Besides the Future Unborn Sutra, Uchiha Feiyu has also started to get initiated into the Sutra of the Present Tathagata and the Sutra of the Past Amitabha.

Although it is said that they can be used in this world, because of the differences in physique and environment, the methods of cultivation also have certain differences.

For example, the Human Immortal Martial Arts cultivated by the Sutra of the Present Tathagata was originally performed in the order of training the skin, training the flesh, training the bones, and training the internal organs, and only then Marrow Cleansing and Blood Changing. Once not cultivated in order, it would cause irreversible damage to the fragile body.

However, people in the One Piece World, not to mention potential, are at least much stronger than humans in the Yang God World in terms of pure physical quality at the very beginning.

Krieg is just a pirate boss in the East Blue with a bounty of less than 20 million Belly, yet he can wield a one-ton golden spear. If it were the Yang God World, even if you brought a Martial Saint over, they would have no way to wield such a heavy spear with ease.

Therefore, the cultivation order of the Yang God World is meaningless in this world. Skin, flesh, and bones can be trained simultaneously; only the internal organs and bone marrow need to be a bit more cautious, but as long as one's strength reaches a certain level, one can also cultivate boldly.

The Ghost Immortal Dao that cultivates the soul goes without saying; there is no such thing as Day Wandering, Night Wandering, Object Driving, or Possession, only the most basic various Visualization Methods.

However, there is a difference between the mental cultivation of the One Piece World and the Yang God World. One values self-will more, while the other values enlightenment and knowledge more. The difference between them can be explained very simply:

Those with strong spirits in the One Piece World are all hot-blooded idiots or paranoid people, while mental cultivators in the Yang God World are basically synonymous with being knowledgeable (old schemers).

In other words, the best way to cultivate mental power in this world is not reading, but fighting!

The Ghost Immortal Dao even has a huge bonus not only to Observation Haki but also to Conqueror's Haki.

On the blue sea, a Marine ship was sailing, and not far away, the silhouette of a pirate ship vaguely emerged.

Uchiha Feiyu's actions had been smooth sailing for so long, but this time, an accident happened unexpectedly.

"Captain Kid, a Marine ship has appeared in the distance!"

"Hmm? Are those annoying Marines pestering us again? How many ships did the other side bring?"

The one speaking was a tall, red-haired man with a wild smile on his face. He stepped onto the deck and reached out casually; a monocular telescope floated up and fell into his hand from the air.

Clearly, although he asked the question, he did not expect the crew to answer, but was prepared to take a look himself.

"Eh! Hahahahaha, there's actually only one ship! It seems it's not a ship coming to encircle and suppress us... Since that's the case, boys, let's go give the Marines a lesson! Bring the ship over to me!"

As the pirate ship approached, the Marine warship also reacted. This time, the person accompanying the Marine warship was just an ordinary Headquarters Lieutenant Colonel. Seeing the approaching pirate ship, his face changed drastically.

"Kid Pirates? Damn it, how could we run into these guys?"

"Sir, what should we do? The other side is a Supernova pirate crew!"

The so-called Supernova refers to pirates who have just entered the first half of the Grand Line and whose bounty can exceed 100 million in a very short time. Compared to other pirates who slowly grind their way up by accumulating evil deeds over time, Supernova pirate crews generally have two characteristics: bold and strong.

Don't look at the bounty as just over 100 million; in reality, their strength might be even stronger than some pirates with 200 or 300 million, and they are even more daring, daring to take action directly even when facing the Marines.

And for an ordinary Marine unit like them, facing this kind of Supernova, I'm afraid it's ominous.

"No choice, we can only prepare for battle... Also, tell the guests in the cabin to let them take the lifeboat and leave first!"

This Marine Colonel did not know Uchiha Feiyu's strength; he only knew that he was royalty from a World Government member nation. Looking at him bringing two beauties, Nami and Robin, he thought this was just a noble out for fun and didn't consider him any combat power at all.

"That... the lifeboat can be forgotten! Actually, we also have some combat power."

A faint voice sounded from behind, immediately startling the Marine Colonel. He turned his head and happened to see Uchiha Feiyu with his arms crossed.

"You... how did you suddenly appear? Forget it, let's not talk about that anymore... The other side is not the kind of pirate that can be dealt with by bullets, but a real Supernova. You'd better run away quickly!"

Clearly, this Marine Colonel did not trust Uchiha Feiyu's strength much. After all, World Government member nations are just like that; although it's not that there are no experts, there are really few who can compete with a Supernova.

And the vast majority of royalty from member nations are basically a bunch of weaklings. Most of those with strength are just subordinates; I haven't heard of many royalty from member nations who can fight... oh, there seems to be one called Cavendish, but he ran off to become a pirate.

"I've been completely underestimated..."

Uchiha Feiyu sighed and was about to say something more, when he saw the Pirate ship opposite suddenly increase its speed, charging straight toward the Marine warship.

Not only that, but dozens of cannonballs floated up above the Pirate ship, paused for a moment, and then smashed toward the Marine warship like a meteor shower.

"Oh no!"

This Marine Colonel no longer had the heart to bicker with Uchiha Feiyu; he drew his long sword and swung out several Flying Slashes, cutting the cannonballs in the sky in half.

But the cannonballs were numerous and dense, and even when cut in half, they would still smash into the Marine warship under the control of a strange power, making them impossible to block.

"It's over!"

Watching the cannonball fragments falling toward the warship, a look of misery appeared on the Marine Colonel's face; possessing Armament Haki and Iron Body, the Colonel was not afraid of the power of the cannonballs, but the ship and his subordinates absolutely could not withstand cannonballs accelerated to this degree.

Just as the Marine Colonel closed his eyes, an incomparably surging Haki suddenly rose from his side, transforming into a wall of energy; with a series of rumbling explosions, it blocked all the cannonball fragments.

Sensing that something was wrong, the Marine Colonel took a look, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head; he stammered:

"Armament... Armament Haki emission!!"

Armament Haki emission could be considered an advanced application technique of Armament Haki, one that even the Marine Colonel himself could not perform.

Of course, even so, it would not have surprised this Marine Colonel so much; the key was that the Armament Haki emitted by Uchiha Feiyu was excessive in both range and defensive power!

Although Haki emission is an advanced technique, it is merely a technique; both Sentomaru and Kaido possess this technique, but no one would compare the Armament Haki of the two, as the key difference lies in the quality and quantity of the Armament Haki itself.

Sentomaru's Foot Power Empty Walk could only knock away a Luffy who did not know Haki; if it were replaced by Kaido's Thunder Bagua, the future Pirate King, who did not know Haki at the time, would probably have died on the spot, which shows that Armament emission cannot be generalized.

Being able to become a Colonel in Haijun Benbu, he naturally had a discerning eye; an Armament Haki emission capable of covering the entire ship and blocking such a wide-range attack must at least belong to a top-tier figure among Marine Vice Admirals.

(Perhaps even a monster at the level of an Admiral Candidate; honestly, are the royal families of the member nations so competitive now? With someone of this strength, what do they need us Marines to escort?)

The Marine Colonel's mind was filled with wild thoughts, and at this moment, the Pirate ship opposite had already approached; standing at the very front of the Pirate ship's deck was an arrogant Pirate with a head of red hair, laughing wildly.

"Not bad, Marine, what kind of Devil Fruit ability is this, to actually be able to block my attack!"

The Marine Colonel was not afraid at all now; Kid lacked discernment and currently knew little about Haki, mistaking the defense just now for a Devil Fruit ability, which was why he had the guts to provoke them, but the Colonel knew very well that this level of Haki was far more powerful than any Devil Fruit.

"You are Kid? The Magnet-Magnet Fruit user?"

Uchiha Feiyu took a step forward, his gaze looking at Kid with great interest.

As everyone knows, abilities related to fundamental physical forces are all considered to have infinite potential, and among them, Kid's Magnet-Magnet Fruit is naturally no exception.
