Ye Feng's Strength

Because of those techniques, Ye Feng had nearly finished mastering them all. After all, he had the top-tier cultivation technique within the jade pendant, the "Divine Illumination Scripture," which helped him rapidly cultivate any technique.

Ye Feng's movement techniques, the escape-oriented "Lingering Wave Steps" and the attack-oriented "Wind God Leg," had both reached mastery. They had directly fused into a single technique, "Storm Leg," combining attack power and speed. Thus, the two original techniques were both extremely powerful.

If one compared Ye Feng's current swordsmanship and leg techniques to see which could inflict greater damage—

His leg techniques were slightly superior to his swordsmanship.

There was also his body-tempering method, the "Demon God Body." After reaching mastery, Ye Feng's body had gained an unimaginably fast recovery ability. As long as an enemy could not kill Ye Feng in a single blow, they would have no further chance. And that was before he had even obtained the Blood-Blood Fruit's power!

Now, with the Demon God Body combined with the ultimate move developed from the Blood-Blood Fruit, "Blood Reincarnation"—

As long as even a single drop of Ye Feng's blood remained, or there was blood nearby, he could possess the legendary, long-desired "immortal body," just like Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

The sword art Ye Feng was currently cultivating, the "Nine Yang Sword Scripture," had reached the fourth realm, granting him the strength of a peak Swordmaster.

Finally, there was the god-tier technique Ye Feng mainly cultivated, the "Nine Yang Manual." Ever since he had reached the fourth layer, "Endless Vitality," back in Frost Moon Village, he had not cultivated it again.

He silently thought, "Once I reach the Marine Headquarters at Marineford in the New World, I must obtain it—"

Overall, Ye Feng's current strength was already enough to fight an admiral to a draw!

That's right! An actual "Marine admiral"! Perhaps you would not believe it, but that was the bloody truth!

A twelve-year-old child could actually fight the Marine Headquarters' strongest combat force, a "Marine admiral," to a draw.

If news of this got out, every expert in the New World would be so frightened they would think admirals had become as common as cabbages in winter.

Fortunately, this matter had not spread. If it did, it would be the equivalent of a massive nuclear bomb.

The next morning, after cultivating the Blood-Blood Fruit for an entire night, Ye Feng had developed many more all sorts of techniques.

After getting out of bed and washing up, Ye Feng heard a knock at the door.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Ye Feng called toward the door, "Come in."

With a creak, the door opened. A Marine soldier from yesterday entered and asked Ye Feng, who had finished washing up and was packing his luggage, "Are you ready?"

Ye Feng did not have much luggage—just two or three changes of clothes and, most importantly, his sword. There was nothing else. He replied to the Marine soldier, "I'm ready. Let's go."

After leaving his room, Ye Feng followed the Marine soldier ahead of him all the way to a dock on the western side of Loguetown. Raising his head, Ye Feng saw a light-blue ship docked on the sea, with a seagull flag hanging from its sail.

It was a Marine warship. Smoker, wearing a Marine coat and still smoking his ever-present three cigars, leaned over the warship's railing. Looking down at Ye Feng, he said somewhat impatiently, "Why are you so late? Get up here. We're leaving."

After hearing Smoker's words from the ship, Ye Feng slung his luggage and sword onto his back. Instead of taking the nearby stairs, he leaped directly onto the Marine warship. Once aboard, he said to Smoker, "Let's go!"

Seeing that Ye Feng had not taken the stairs but had leaped straight up, Smoker was greatly surprised. He knew perfectly well that the Marine warship stood more than ten meters above the dock below, yet Ye Feng had jumped up in a single bound.

Looking at Ye Feng's skinny shoulders, Smoker silently thought, "This kid is definitely not simple!"

Once aboard, Ye Feng asked Smoker, "Excuse me, where is my room?"

Smoker came back to his senses after hearing Ye Feng's question and replied, "The third room in the left cabin is yours."

After Smoker told him where his room was, Ye Feng headed toward the cabin. Following Smoker's directions, he went straight to the third room in the left cabin. When he opened the door, he found someone lying on the bed.

Ye Feng walked over and patted her shoulder...
