Using electric shocks to strengthen his body. This method was a training regimen developed by Ye Jia, as an Earthling, after obtaining Enel's Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble-Rumble Fruit). When an ability user is not in their elemental form, their body is merely flesh and blood.
Casually destroying their heart or severing their neck would instantly lead to death. To prevent future encounters with Haki or Sea Prism Stone, which pose extreme threats to ability users, Ye Jia had to enhance his own power, making his physical strength exceptionally formidable!
Electric shocks were an excellent choice. When current enters the body, muscles instinctively react. One electric shock, according to Ye Jia's current current intensity, was equivalent to him doing thousands of push-ups in an instant! Every day,
if Ye Jia shocked himself dozens, even hundreds of times, his body would immediately become extremely sore, as if he had truly worked out for a long time. However, after a period of experimentation, the method proved very effective. Ye Jia's physical strength also became exceptionally formidable in a short time.
But this method could not be used long-term. Current, for Ye Jia in his elemental form, caused no damage, but for his real body, it would cause tremendous harm! Therefore, every so often,
Ye Jia would have Guya Manni help him heal his injuries, repairing the damage caused by the electrical stimulation to his body. Otherwise, it wouldn't take long before Ye Jia would "electrocute himself to death" without anyone else's intervention!
"If I hadn't used electricity to strengthen my body, I probably wouldn't even be able to block one sword strike now, would I?" Ye Jia wielded Ama no Murakumo, using the Glint-Glint Fruit's extreme speed to react to Vice Admiral Bastille's attacks. The two fought with increasing fervor, clashing at close quarters, each strike immensely powerful. The Death God continuously trembled, as if an earthquake was occurring.
"Too amazing..." Qiuli watched, startled. He was a swordsman, most proficient in close-quarters combat, so he could tell how terrifying Ye Jia and Bastille's fight was. Whether it was power, reaction speed, or the angle of their strikes, everything was impeccable... at least instantly killing him would be no problem at all!
"Who exactly is this pirate...? To be able to fight Vice Admiral Bastille to a standstill, it's terrifying!"
"That pirate flag has never been seen before. They're not among the pirates with bounties over a hundred million!"
"A pirate crew of two people, I've never heard of them!"
"..." The Marine soldiers watching this scene were aghast. They knew Vice Admiral Bastille's strength all too well. He even had the power to fight against the most heinous Shichibukai,
and had already captured several great pirates with bounties of one to two hundred million Beri! Even among the 16 Vice Admirals at Marine Headquarters, Bastille's combat power was noteworthy. Yet such an elite combatant from Marine Headquarters was fighting an unknown pirate to a draw? It was truly unbelievable!
"...Yes! We encountered a pirate ship. Saint Augus-sama requested pursuit... Currently, Vice Admiral Bastille is fighting members of the pirate ship. We need to request reinforcements! For the safety of Saint Augus-sama, request support from Headquarters!"
From the start of the battle, Marine soldiers had already been reporting the situation via Den Den Mushi, requesting aid from Marine Headquarters. For the Marines, the Celestial Dragons must be absolutely safe.
Not even the slightest harm could come to them. Once a conflict arose where a Celestial Dragon was present, the Marines had to be there. Protecting the Celestial Dragon's safety was their most important mission!
...
"To withstand so many of my sword strikes without a hint of damage... he used Armament Haki!" Ye Jia's gaze was solemn. It was not uncommon for Marine Vice Admirals to master the use of Haki. Basically, Haki was a prerequisite for anyone becoming a Marine Vice Admiral.
The Ama no Murakumo, condensed from the Glint-Glint Fruit, was, if taken seriously, an extremely destructive aurora sword... Ye Jia had used this characteristic last time to break into Dralon's treasure room and loot it extensively.
But he had clashed Ama no Murakumo with Bastille's Shark Cutter so many times, and the opponent's Shark Cutter showed no signs of damage. Clearly, it was Haki at work! Only by using Haki could one resist the laser effect of Ama no Murakumo. And only Haki could harm Ye Jia! Otherwise, with just a knife, how could one contend against a Logia-type ability user?
"Shark Sever: Cut!" Suddenly, Bastille's blade changed. His sharp moves suddenly became peculiar. None of his strikes went directly for Ye Jia's vital points. Instead, he aimed to attack Ye Jia's arms, thighs, abdomen, and other areas. This strange attack made a look of confusion flash in Ye Jia's eyes. But soon, Ye Jia discovered the trick.
"So that's it! He's trying to use this move to create an opening for me!" Ye Jia only realized after carefully sensing that if he followed the opponent's rhythm, he would eventually expose a considerable opening. Once caught, Bastille could immediately inflict a heavy blow on him! Marine Vice Admirals... none of them were pushovers!
"This battle has dragged on for too long. I've pretty much figured out the Marine Vice Admiral's strength. It's time to say goodbye!" The corner of Ye Jia's mouth curved into a sinister smile. Vice Admiral Bastille, noticing this, felt his heart skip a beat, and an ominous premonition spontaneously arose. "What's with his smile? Why do I feel a huge crisis welling up within me?"
Just as Vice Admiral Bastille was still bewildered by Ye Jia's smile.
Zzzzzzz— Electrical sparks flickered and glowed on Ye Jia's hand, which held Ama no Murakumo. Electrical snakes danced, coiling around Ye Jia's hand. Not just his hand, Ye Jia's entire body was enveloped by flashing electrical light at the same time!
"What the hell?!"
"A third Devil Fruit ability?!"
If Ye Jia simultaneously possessing the Barrier-Barrier Fruit and Glint-Glint Fruit abilities had already astonished Vice Admiral Bastille beyond measure, then when the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability appeared, and the azure current illuminated Ye Jia like a god bathed in lightning, Bastille completely didn't know how to describe the shock in his heart.
Two Devil Fruit abilities coexisting in one person was already astonishing enough. But now Ye Jia had brought out a third Devil Fruit ability...
"How did this guy do it? Three Devil Fruit abilities on one person, and he's still alive?!"
"I can't resist! Three Devil Fruit abilities, I can't handle them!"
"Must retreat immediately!" A retreat intention appeared in Vice Admiral Bastille's heart the instant the electric light emerged. If he could barely cope with two Devil Fruits, and even had a slight chance of killing the opponent, then with three Devil Fruits simultaneously, he had no chance of winning at all!
"What? Trying to escape now? Hohoho... Too late!" A fierce glint shot from Ye Jia's eyes.
