With a burst of power and a quick dash, he unleashed his full potential in an instant, reaching the level of a general, and joined the battle.

The clone Yi Shuihan acted as if he had a blood feud with Yi Shuihan, which impressed Sakazuki and improved his impression of Yi Shuihan considerably.

Something seemed off about him. Kuzan, who had been in contact with Yi Shuihan for some time, had some doubts.

It seems like 3 against 1, but what is the reality?

Suddenly, the clone Yi Shuihan attacked Yi Shuihan, but just as it was about to hit, Yi Shuihan turned its head, and the clone Yi Shuihan's fist struck Sakazuki.

"Yi Shuihan, how did you manage to attack me?" Sakazuki said angrily.

"A mistake, a mistake. This villain is too cunning," the clone Yi Shuihan explained, then his eyes became even fiercer. "Take this."

"boom"

"Why are you here again?"

"This...it really wasn't my fault, you villain, you're shameless."

"boom"

"Yi Shui Han!!"

"You villain, I will never forgive you."

A good show unfolds continuously. The clone Yi Shuihan, in coordination with the real Yi Shuihan, constantly creates various mistakes. Each time, the clone Yi Shuihan "accidentally" hits Sakazuki. However, because the clone's performance is too perfect, and the hatred for the real Yi Shuihan is expressed vividly, Sakazuki repeatedly puts down his doubts about the clone Yi Shuihan.

With the interference of Yi Shuihan's clone, Sakazuki and Kuzan were ultimately unable to defeat Yi Shuihan in a short period of time.

"How could this be? How can he be so powerful? Three lieutenant generals, including two general candidates, couldn't take him down." Spandam, who was watching from a distance, was dumbfounded and suddenly felt a little fortunate that he hadn't died at the hands of his opponent.

Suddenly, several earth-shattering explosions rang out from the sea, attracting the attention of Kuzan and the others who were fighting Yi Shuihan.

"That is?"

"Oh no! Our warship is under attack!"

Before they could react, the remaining warships exploded one after another in a short period of time, and it seemed that the entire fleet was about to be wiped out.

No one noticed the hint of a smile that flashed in Yi Shuihan's eyes at that moment; he had created more than one clone.

Chapter 58, Temple of All Realms

"Where did this monster come from? How could it defeat the lieutenant generals so easily? And..."

Just now, Yi Shuihan's second clone appeared directly above the warship, instantly destroying several warships with lightning speed. By the time the lieutenant general on the warship reacted and attacked, he was easily defeated.

Of course, Yi Shuihan's second clone controlled his strength well. Although he could destroy the warship each time, he also gave the navy on the warship time to jump into the sea and escape.

At this moment, the sea was covered with a dark mass of heads, which looked incredibly spectacular.

On the shore of Ohara,

"What should we do? It seems he has accomplices. Should we go back and provide support?" Yi Shuihan muttered, trying to sound convincing.

Sakazuki's expression was grim, not only because Yi Shuihan's clones had "unintentionally" attacked him multiple times during this period, but also because he was impatient with not being able to defeat Yi Shuihan for so long.

Compared to Sakazuki, Kuzan valued the Navy's comfort more, and after a moment's thought, he said, "I'll go back first, you guys continue, I'll come and help later."

Alright, Kuzan's gone, Sakazuki, let's see how you handle this.

"Yi Shuihan!" Kuzan suddenly called out, then gave Yi Shuihan a meaningful look, as if he saw through everything.

Did he discover something? Yi Shuihan was startled, but Kuzan didn't say anything and left directly, which put his mind at ease.

Did they actually discover it? If they did, why didn't they say so? Was it because they didn't want to see the island sink, or because they didn't agree with Sakazuki's actions?

Forget it, the current matter is more important. I'll talk to him again when I have the chance later.

With Kuzan gone, only Sakazuki and Yi Shuihan remained at the scene, ignoring Spandam.

"Sakazuki, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Yi Shuihan spoke for the first time, though his voice was slightly different, sounding somewhat hoarse.

Sakazuki's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this. After fighting for so long, he already knew that Yi Shuihan was not easy to deal with. He was afraid that he would not be a match for him in a one-on-one fight. In the past, he would probably have left. There would be plenty of opportunities to settle scores later. In his opinion, finding helpers to surround and kill him was the most correct choice.

Such a powerful individual has already fallen out with the Navy and must be eliminated.

Seeing Yi Shuihan's clone glaring angrily at the masked man, Sakazuki suppressed the urge to leave.

"The Great Spitfire"

"Volcano Fist"

When the battle resumed, Sakazuki went all out, pushing his Devil Fruit powers to the limit, but he no longer possessed the ferocity he had at the beginning.

"Not good!" A strong sense of crisis arose in Sakazuki's heart. This feeling had appeared many times before, which was the prelude to Yi Shuihan's clone hitting him.

However, this time is different from before; the sense of crisis is several times stronger.

With a "boom," Sakazuki felt an earth-shattering force surge through his head, followed by indescribable pain. Under the intense agony, Sakazuki gloriously fainted.

"Ah! I..." Yi Shuihan's clone pretended to be terrified by the result of his actions, while the real Yi Shuihan took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and then Yi Shuihan's clone also gloriously fainted.

Under Spandam's terrified gaze, Yi Shuihan left behind the words, "Tell the Navy that I have protected this island. In the end, I am Dark Star, one of the 12 Guardians of the Temple of All Worlds."

The reason he let Spandine leave was to clear himself of suspicion, since he himself had been knocked unconscious and it was impossible for him to be suspected.

As for the final title, it was added on a whim, in order to create the illusion that he was a powerful figure.

At the same time, at sea

"The Temple of All Realms, the Radiant Extinction of the Twelve Guardians?" Kuzan muttered to himself, his heart filled with curiosity about what kind of great power the so-called Temple of All Realms was.

"What should we do now, Lieutenant General Kuzan?"

Kuzan glanced at the remaining ship, which was still capable of sailing, and made a decision: "Prepare to return to headquarters. We can ignore the matter of Ohara for now; the newly emerged mysterious force is the most urgent task."

Afterwards, Kuzan returned to Ohara and saw the unconscious Yi Shuihan, Sakazuki, and the disheveled Spandam. For some reason, he led them on their way back to headquarters.

……

"Is the battle over?"

"Probably! There's been no movement at all now."

"So who won? Should we leave right away?"

At the Tree of Omniscience, a group of scholars carrying large and small bags looked like refugees. The commotion caused by Yi Shuihan and Sakazuki's battle was so great that it could be felt from afar. It was this earth-shattering battle that strengthened their resolve to leave; it was simply too terrifying.

The battle was so intense that the entire island was shaking. They even thought the island was about to be sunk, and for the first time, they felt that the world was so dangerous.

"I am back."

"Brother Han!" Little Robin ran over excitedly as soon as she saw Yi Shuihan and hugged him, as if she was afraid that Yi Shuihan would disappear at any moment.

The others looked at Yi Shuihan, whose clothes were only slightly torn, with gratitude and awe in their eyes. They were grateful for Yi Shuihan's help and in awe of his unimaginable strength.

Olvia looked curiously at the boy being hugged by her daughter not far away, her eyes filled with inquiry.

She had already prepared herself to sacrifice herself when she saw Spandam, and she was even more desperate when she heard that Spandam had launched the Buster Call. She blamed herself for bringing danger to her hometown, but she never expected that it would be this boy who stood up and fought against the Navy all by himself and actually won. Even now, she still feels like she is in a dream!

Who exactly is he? Where is he from? Why does he possess such immense power? And why is he so kind to Robin?

"The navy has been driven away and won't be back for the time being, but you should still be prepared to leave," Yi Shuihan said calmly.

"Is he really gone?" someone asked in disbelief.

Yi Shuihan nodded. "Yes."

"Great!" A cheer erupted, accompanied by countless laughs, which made Yi Shuihan smile as well.

"I knew my brother was the best." Little Robin smiled radiantly, and not far away, Olvia's beautiful face also blossomed, so beautiful.

Chapter 59, Naval Response

"You mean two mysterious masked figures suddenly appeared, one single-handedly holding off your, Sakazuki's, and Yi Shuihan's combined attack, and the other ambushed the ship while you were fighting, and when you returned to reinforce, Sakazuki and Yi Shuihan were knocked unconscious?" Sengoku said incredulously, still feeling like he was dreaming even now.

What a joke! Although Yi Shuihan and Kuzan are not yet admirals, their actual combat strength has reached the admiral level. One against three, could it be that another pirate king has appeared?

That's not all. Based on the titles revealed by the other party, they are clearly from the same faction. The Temple of Myriad Realms, where did they come from? One of the 12 Guardians. If there are 12 such powerful individuals, they could completely sweep through the Navy. Not to mention that the Guardians are usually not the strongest. It's simply unbelievable.

"Is it possible that they just said it on purpose to get our attention and divert our attention, and that there were actually only the two of them?" Kuzan guessed, recalling Yi Shuihan's unusual behavior during the battle. In his current opinion, the masked man's strength at that time was only slightly higher than Sakazuki's, and it was absolutely impossible for him to deal with three general-level experts at the same time.

But why would Yi Shuihan help him?

By the way, Yi Shuihan went out to save someone. Could it be that the person was from Ohara? If so, that's possible.

"That's possible, but we can't rule out the possibility that what he said is true. We should prepare for the worst. These are truly turbulent times!" The situation was already chaotic enough, and now a powerful force has suddenly emerged. Even Sengoku, known as a strategist, is having a headache.

Fortunately, the other side has not explicitly declared war on the Navy. They cannot act rashly before knowing whether they are friend or foe. Compared to the Ohara incident, this matter is obviously much more troublesome.

"It seems that we need to speed things up on that matter," Sengoku murmured.

"Alright, you did a good job. That was the best we could do at the time. Don't worry about this for now. I'll report to the World Government. We'll make plans after we find out what this so-called Temple of All Worlds is all about." Although he said that, Sengoku actually knew that if such a force really existed, it wouldn't make much difference in a short time. They only learned about the Temple of All Worlds because the other party took the initiative to speak up.

"Someone else will take over the Ohara issue. Anyway, it wasn't our responsibility in the first place, so let the World Government deal with it." Although the Navy is a subordinate agency of the World Government, it doesn't mean that the Navy completely belongs to the World Government. Many people in the Navy don't care much for the World Government.

Yi Shuihan's fabricated Temple of Myriad Realms did have some use. In the end, the Navy didn't even have a single wanted criminal, and the situation in Ohara was completely sealed off, as if it had never happened at all.

……

In Ohara, most scholars left the Tree of Knowledge, taking the seeds of knowledge with them. Only a small number of stubborn scholars remained, but they dared not openly study the blank history and went into hiding, truly frightened by the Navy's Buster Call.

On the other hand, Yi Shuihan has been getting along very well with Robin and her mother Olvia these past few days. However, Olvia still wants to find the truth behind the Poneglyphs and plans to entrust Robin to Yi Shuihan.

After learning about Robin's ordeal on the island, Olvia even severed ties with her brother.

"Why do you want to leave? After all these years, can't you understand? Even if you know the truth of history, what difference does it make? Is it still as happy as little Robin's life?" Yi Shuihan's tone was heavy. Little Robin looked at her mother pitifully beside him. She didn't want her mother to leave like this either. In the few days she spent with her mother, she felt the long-lost maternal love and didn't want to lose it again so soon.

Olvia's eyes showed struggle, guilt, and shame. How could she not want to be with Robin? But the truth of history had become her obsession; she was truly unwilling to give up until she found it.

"Give me three more years. If that still doesn't work, I'll just stay by Robin's side and be an ordinary mother." In the end, her obsession prevailed, but Olvia did give a deadline.

"Three years?" This result is not unacceptable. Originally, I planned to take her away by force, but that would only be a temporary solution. Even if I forced her to stay, it wouldn't be a good thing. It would be better to agree to her request.

Fine, I can wait three years, but I feel sorry for little Robin.

"Alright, I'll wait for you for three years. But if you don't come back by then, I'll personally take you to Little Robin's side." Yi Shuihan nodded and said. Little Robin, who was standing to the side, knew that she would have to be separated from her mother for another three years, and tears welled up in her eyes. However, she was very sensible and did not make a fuss about not letting her mother leave.

Seeing Robin's expression, Olvia felt an urge to stay and not seek the truth of history.

“My dear child, I’m so sorry. I will definitely come back in three years. I will make it up to you for everything you’ve lost. I’m entrusting Yi Shuihan to you.” After saying this, Olvia turned and left, tears streaming down her face.

Once Olvia disappeared from Yi Shuihan's sight, Little Robin finally couldn't hold back her tears and burst into sobs.

"Don't cry, don't cry, you still have your brother. Besides, three years will pass quickly." Yi Shuihan patted Xiao Robin's back gently.

"Okay, I won't cry," Little Robin bit her lip, but tears still fell uncontrollably.

"Forget it, just cry! It'll make you feel better." Yi Shuihan knew that holding it in wasn't a good idea.

"Wah! I want my mommy, my mommy." Little Robin finally burst into tears, but only once. The next day, she regained her happy smile. However, Yi Shuihan could still occasionally see the longing in her eyes.

Olvia left, and Yi Shuihan also didn't plan to stay in Ohara. However, he needed to devise a plan to bring Little Robin to the Marine Headquarters, as going back directly like this wouldn't work.

Chapter 60, Picked up during a walk?

"What? You said you found this while you were out for a walk today, and that you took a liking to her at first sight, treating her like a little sister, and that you'll take care of her from now on?" Zhan Guo stared dumbfounded at Yi Shuihan and the little Robin beside him.

He didn't believe a word Yi Shuihan said; such a thing could not possibly happen at the Navy Headquarters.

But Yi Shuihan insisted that this was the case, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Oh well, she's just a little girl, let her stay if she wants.

In the end, Sengoku compromised and even gave Robin the title of captain, whose duty was to take care of Yi Shuihan's daily life. Thus, Robin's identity was settled.

Yi Shuihan was in an exceptionally good mood after leaving the Warring States period. Although she knew that her reasons were not very good, and even full of loopholes, as long as they could achieve her goal, they were good reasons. Didn't the great man say that it doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat?

Of course, Yi Shuihan understood that Sengoku would definitely investigate Robin's background afterward, but so what? Even if he knew Robin's identity, given her importance to the Navy, Sengoku would simply pretend not to know. As for what others thought, did it matter?

If it weren't for the fact that Sengoku had treated him fairly well, he wouldn't have thought of any reason and would have just done it. So what?

A vice admiral with unlimited potential, whose strength is already that of an admiral and will only grow stronger in the future, would not be a problem at all if he brought a little girl to Marine Headquarters, or even a pirate, as long as it wasn't one of the world's most famous pirates.

"Brother, was that old man the Fleet Admiral?" Little Robin asked curiously. Yi Shuihan had already explained his current situation and offered to take him to the Marine Headquarters. Little Robin quickly agreed. For her, it didn't matter where she went, as long as she was by Yi Shuihan's side.

Little Robin was quite startled by Yi Shuihan's identity as a vice admiral. Having been at the Navy Headquarters for some time, she had gained some understanding of the outside world and naturally knew how exaggerated it was for Yi Shuihan to be a vice admiral at his age.

However, thinking of Yi Shuihan's omnipotence, Xiao Robin accepted it quickly, only becoming more and more dependent on and admiring of Yi Shuihan.

"Of course, don't let his appearance fool you, he's quite capable, just a little less so than me." Yi Shuihan spoke the truth; his true strength was indeed greater than Zhan Guo's.

"Yes, yes, brother is the best." Little Robin's eyes shone, but there was a hint of cunning deep in them. Clearly, she didn't think Yi Shuihan was stronger than Sengoku. After all, he was the Fleet Admiral, a level above the Admiral on the surface.

However, Robin is absolutely certain that her older brother will be stronger than her grandfather in the future.

Yi Shuihan's guess was correct. On the third day, the Sengoku office had information about Robin from childhood to adulthood, and also learned that a boy appeared during the Ohara incident, who was one of the 12 Guardians.
