Do you understand Fish-Man Karate?

In the reflection of Hanafuda's suddenly constricted vertical pupils.

Luo Yi's fist burst forth.

The next moment, the familiar fluctuation erupted once more.

But Luo Yi's fist was not aimed at Hanafuda's ship, but at the sea below!

"Buzz!"

A surging cold air burst forth, and the cold began to spread.

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"

The surging, unending sea currents were frozen in mid-air at this moment.

The fish and shrimp swimming in the water were frozen in the sea at this moment.

Even the blowing wind seemed to carry ice shards, and the moisture in the air condensed into frost.

The sea surface parted as usual, but this time the waves no longer fell, but transformed into towering ice walls.

Yes.

After this punch was thrown—the sea surface around the 'Giant Dinosaur Fleet' had been completely frozen over!

"'Aokiji's' ability? No, not exactly the same. What is that fluctuation?"

Hanafuda looked at this scene and naturally thought of Admiral 'Aokiji' first.

But then he shook his head—he had never heard of Aokiji having such a move, with the radiance and shockwave that came from Luo Yi's fist.

But it was clear that Hanafuda didn't have time to think carefully at this moment.

"Boom!"

Because the 'Tyrannosaurus' beneath his feet had clearly stopped its forward momentum.

Or to be more precise—it wasn't just this ship.

At this moment, the entire 'Giant Dinosaur Fleet' had been frozen onto the sea surface by this single punch.

But the problem lay here—

"The power of this punch is enough to destroy any ship. Why didn't he do it?"

Hanafuda murmured this question in his heart.

If it were any other Marine, he could certainly find a suitable reason—for example, the other party didn't want to offend him, a Shichibukai, or was wary of his influence and the 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido behind him.

But now, Hanafuda knew.

None of those reasons held true.

Because he could see the look in the eyes of the Marine before him.

What kind of look was that?

Indifferent, calm, resolute, without the slightest hint of yielding or hesitation. It was not the look of someone ready to stop here!

And the facts indeed bore this out.

In the very next instant, Hanafuda saw Luo Yi move again.

He raised his hand once more.

The difference was—this time, he raised his right fist!

"Buzz!"

Golden ripples flowed again, and this time, crimson appeared within the ripples!

It was the color of high temperature.

And within Luo Yi's arm, something crimson and scorching seemed to begin flowing, making his arm appear crimson.

"Flame Wave Fist: Boil the Sea!"

"Roar!"

At this moment, Hanafuda's expression changed drastically.

"Everyone, abandon ship immediately!"

He almost let out a beast-like roar.

As a top-tier Ability User of the Ancient Zoan type, he naturally possessed top-tier beast instincts.

And at this moment, it was his instincts telling him that this attack was extremely dangerous!

Meanwhile...

On the distant sea.

"Hoo!"

Inside the exhaust port behind the Spade, the flames gradually extinguished.

"Haha. Ha."

Ace, dripping with sweat, knelt on the ground, panting, "Damn it. The injury from just now..."

It was just as the Hanafuda had said before.

Using his abilities at high intensity to propel the Spade forward was also a very strenuous task for him.

"Ace, take a break!"

"Captain Ace, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Deuce and some of the mobile crew members also struggled to stand up.

"I'm fine."

Ace waved his hand, took a bottle of water, and drank it. Only then did he say, "Ha, they didn't chase after us, did they?"

During the escape using his abilities just now, he naturally had no time to pay attention to anything else.

"No. Rather, the situation over there is a bit strange."

Speaking of this, Deuce's expression was a little subtle.

"Strange?"

Hearing this, Ace also looked curiously at the sea behind them.

At this point, their distance was too great to see the situation over there clearly—they could only see a few Hanafuda ships that had become tiny dots, and...

"The sea is frozen?"

Looking at the sea surface, which was frozen in a surging state, Ace was stunned.

"It's not the Hanafuda's ability..."

He had fought with Hanafuda and naturally knew that the other party did not have such an ability.

Then the only explanation was...

"That Marine named Luo Yi?"

Ace murmured the name he had only learned for the first time not long ago.

"We think so too."

Deuce, standing beside him, also voiced his guess, "It should be that the other party was fighting with Hanafuda, and the sea freezing might be the other party's ability."

He analyzed with a serious expression, and the other members of the Spade Pirates beside him nodded one after another.

However, after a moment, their discussion stopped.

Because both they and Ace saw the scene in the distance at this moment.

Above the sky, a crimson object appeared.

It was something Ace was very familiar with—flames generated by high temperatures!

"Captain's 'Fire Fist'?"

His companions behind him subconsciously said the same thing.

"No!"

But at this moment, Ace's heart provided the answer.

He looked at the massive pillar of fire, wrapped in a powerful shockwave, heading towards the Hanafuda's ship!

He could clearly see the flying dust kicked up by the surging flames.

He instinctively felt—that flame seemed stronger than his own.

But Ace didn't have time to think.

He then saw the enormous torrent of flames sweep directly across, piercing through the Hanafuda's fleet.

"Boom!"

On the frozen ocean, immense smoke and terrifying firelight instantly rose, obscuring the sky and earth, and a massive shockwave immediately spread in all directions.

"The Hanafuda's fleet is finished!"

Even from this distance, Deuce could be 100% certain—after this attack, not a single one of Hanafuda's ships would remain!

But immediately after, an even bigger question naturally arose.

That was.

"Who launched this attack?"

A crew member of the Spade Pirates asked this question.

The scene fell silent.

The answer was not difficult to guess.

Because of the fluctuation contained within that massive fiery shockwave. They had seen it with their own eyes not long ago.

Then, the entire ship could only hear Ace's low murmur.

"Luo Yi Amos."

"Hey, hey! Are you kidding me? Boss is terrifyingly strong right now!"

And it was obvious.

The members of the Detention Unit currently held a similar view to the Spade Pirates.

At this moment, Hans and Fal were waiting on the deck.

Following Luo Yi's instructions, they had arranged for people to search the ship's cabins for the two injured individuals and to repair the cabins.

However, they hadn't followed all of Luo Yi's instructions.

For example, they weren't hiding as Luo Yi had ordered. Instead, they were each holding their weapons.

They had already decided that if their boss was defeated, they would step in.

But the reality far exceeded their imagination.

Even through the smoke, they could see the tragic scene on the frozen sea not far away.

The entire Giant Dinosaur Fleet had indeed been almost completely annihilated.

Six of its sub-ships had vanished in the center of the explosion, with only burning wreckage to indicate their existence.

The only one that retained its complete appearance was the main ship, the Tyrannosaurus—but even so, its hull was broken in half, and the entire ship was melted through.

"It only took two attacks to defeat that legendary Shichibukai."

The Marine soldiers of the Detention Unit felt their heads spinning.

"Um, do you think that's still our boss? Maybe it's Admiral Zephyr in disguise?"

Hans's train of thought was as peculiar as ever.

"What are you talking about? Of course, it's our boss!"

Fal punched him on the spot. "But can Admiral Zephyr freeze or ignite the sea? Did he give Boss a Devil Fruit?"

"Oh, you're right!"

Hans finally understood. "That's right—Admiral Zephyr isn't an Ability User, so it wasn't him impersonating Boss."

"Are you even listening to me!?"

And as the two of them were arguing...

"You two have made two more mistakes."

They saw Luo Yi descend from the sky using Geppo, landing back on the warship.

His expression remained calm, even seeming to carry a strange sense of 'relief'.

"First of all, everyone knows I'm not an Ability User, nor have I eaten a Devil Fruit. As for what you just saw, it's still 'Wave Fist'."

He looked seriously at Fal and Hans, who were full of disbelief.

"Not long ago, my teacher told me that the Fish-Man Race's physical technique, 'Fish-Man Karate,' can control the moisture in the surrounding air."

"This gave me a slight realization, so I created a new school of Wave Fist techniques—it's called 'Ice Wave Fist'."

As he spoke, blue ripples appeared on his hands.

"Besides that, my teacher also told me that there's a swordsmanship in Wano Country called 'Foxfire Style,' which can release and cut through flames."

"And there are quite a few people who can use flames by utilizing friction. For example, I know a Pirate and his cook who can use similar moves."

"I've made some minor developments based on this, and thus created this second school of Wave Fist techniques—it's called 'Flame Wave Fist'."

What he casually said was, of course, complete nonsense.

The two so-called Wave Fist techniques he was displaying now were essentially the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu's heat and extreme cold effects, layered with the Magma-Magma Fruit and Freeze-Freeze Fruit respectively.

By using shockwaves to spread these two effects, such powerful attacks naturally developed.

However, because the abilities of both Logia-type fruits and the Great Buddha Fruit consumed a lot of stamina, he had this idea before but hadn't used it in actual combat.

But now, after recent physical enhancements, he could already initially master it!

As for his claim about new schools of Wave Fist, it was naturally completely unscientific.

But that clearly didn't matter.

Because...

"So that's how it is!"

"It's actually like this!"

"As expected of Admiral Zephyr's disciple!"

"Shouldn't we say, as expected of the boss?"

Upon hearing his words, the Marine soldiers chose to believe him without any hesitation.

Luo Yi wasn't surprised by this situation at all.

That's right.

This was the most crucial part.

If it were Luo Yi Amos, a regular Major from the Detention Unit before, it would be unreasonable and somewhat suspicious to display such a significant increase in strength in a short period.

But now, the situation was different.

He was now a legendary Marine Admiral, the recognized strongest instructor, and a disciple of 'Black Arm' Zephyr.

And almost every Marine had grown up listening to Zephyr's legends!

So, what was surprising about Zephyr's disciple, the former Admiral, getting stronger a little faster?

"In Teacher Zephyr's eyes, I am a 'monster-like genius'."

"In the eyes of other Marines, I am the 'disciple of a Marine legend'."

A smile spread across Luo Yi's lips.

"So now, I can be a bit more unrestrained in displaying my strength."

After a brief moment of awe, Hans and Fal reacted again.

"Boss, you said we made two mistakes. What's the other one?"

Fal asked curiously.

Upon hearing his question, Luo Yi smiled again.

"The second mistake is that you said I defeated a Shichibukai with one blow."

"Although I've become much stronger now, it's still somewhat difficult to defeat a guy like that with a single blow."

As Luo Yi finished speaking.

"Marines!"

Hans and Fal heard the roar that spread across the entire sea.

Then.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

On the ice, huge vibrations echoed deafeningly.

It was the heavy footsteps of some kind of monster.

Then, everyone saw it clearly.

From the front of the 'Tyrannosaurus', shrouded in thick smoke.

A massive, monster-like figure walked out of the smoke!
