One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 53 Harvest



The deep sword marks on Li Yuan's body were all left by the Golden Lion in a short period of time.

While Li Yuan was struggling to resist the attack of the Golden Lion, he was also feeling the Golden Lion's sword intent, and then he was constantly trying to comprehend his own sword intent and become a great swordsman.

The Golden Lion's sword is a very simple killing sword. It draws quickly and ruthlessly, and it pursues the ultimate killing. It kills people in whatever way is convenient for it.

It can be said that many swordsmen on the sea take this path.

As he continued to fight with the Golden Lion, Li Yuan felt more and more that his swordsmanship was inadequate.

After fighting with the golden lion for three days and three nights, it finally stopped. "Hahahahaha, how about it, Li Yuan, how about my sword?"

The Golden Lion laughed as he looked at Li Yuan, who was covered in blood and seriously injured.

"Your swordsmanship is amazing. Let's fight again next time!"

Li Yuan ignored the Golden Lion's smug look and dragged his seriously injured body back to his residence.

In the next three months, Li Yuan continued to grow under the oppression of the Golden Lion. Every time he came back from a battle with the Golden Lion, he gained a lot.

Then, when he was not fighting the Golden Lion, he practiced hard on the Beehive Island, as if he had returned to the days of crazy practice when he first arrived at the Beehive Island.

Three months passed in a flash, and now Li Yuan's strength has greatly increased.

Unfortunately, he is still a swordsman, only half a step away from becoming a great swordsman, but he cannot take this half step, or the time has not come yet.

The greatest improvement during this battle with Shiki the Golden Lion was not his progress in swordsmanship, nor was it his accomplishment in having already mastered the fourth level of [Divine Sword Body Tempering Technique] to perfection.

Instead, his observation Haki has reached a high level, and he has newly awakened a talent for observation Haki, mind reading.

Just like the Observation Haki that is as domineering as Red Earl Redfield, the Observation Haki that can read people's memories is equivalent to a weakened version of the Memory Fruit.

Relying on mind reading, when fighting with the Golden Lion Shiji, Li Yuan was able to know the Golden Lion Shiji's various sword-drawing methods, attack targets, and even the Golden Lion's thoughts in a short period of time.

It was because of the breakthrough in his Observation Haki that he was able to slowly regain his rhythm from being beaten. Even though he could not compare with Shiki, at least he could occasionally fight back.

It can be said that his greatest advantage is the [Divine Sword Body Tempering Technique] which has infinite potential.

The second biggest advantage is his soul strength which far exceeds that of ordinary people, which gives him extremely strong talent in observation and kendo.

"The next step is to quickly break through to the Great Swordsman level, and then proceed to the fifth level of the [Divine Sword Body Tempering Technique] to temper the muscles."

Li Yuan thought.

The breakthrough of a great swordsman requires an opportunity, and the fourth level of [Divine Sword Body Tempering Technique] to temper the skin is the simplest and easiest.

Later, as the number of layers increases, the difficulty of quenching becomes higher and higher, and the time required becomes more and more, but the benefits obtained also become stronger and stronger.

Tempering muscles can improve one's defense, attack power, physical strength, physical recovery ability and so on.

They can all get a substantial increase, it is not like tempering the skin, which only increases the skin's defense.

"Boss, the new welcome party is about to begin." Mali ran over to remind Li Yuan.

The Rocks Pirates' welcome party, also known as the recruitment party, is held every six months, and all pirates who want to join the Rocks Pirates are welcome to join.

And he had heard that as Rocks' ambition grew, the schedule was changed from half a year to three months, and in the future, it might even become once a month.

"Let's go!!"

Originally, Li Yuan didn't plan to go, but the Rocks Pirates had a rule that when the welcome ceremony began, all cadres on or near the Beehive Island had to attend.

For this reason, Li Yuan had to participate.

"It's really lively. This welcome meeting is much more lively than the last time I attended."

Li Yuan arrived at the welcome meeting, stood next to many cadres, and looked at the densely packed figures below.

The number of pirates was much larger than when he first joined. There were at least 30,000 pirates!!

"This year, our Rocks Pirates have become famous all over the world. Many pirates have come to the New World from all over the world just to join the Rocks Pirates. This number will increase in the future."

Golden Lion smiled with a cigarette in his mouth. Li Yuan could clearly see the excitement on Golden Lion's face and the ambition in his eyes.

"Ahahahahaha, is this the strongest man in the world?"

"It was really scary. Just standing there made me feel suffocated."

"The Rocks Pirates' executives have also appeared. There are so many executives. I heard that each one of them is as good as a navy admiral. Is that true?"

|||||

The pirates who wanted to join the Rocks Pirate Group began to get excited when they saw the arrival of Rocks leading many cadres.

With the appearance of Rocks, the incomparably terrifying domineering aura on his body rose

into the sky.

A terrifying aura as if doomsday was coming and the world was collapsing arose, shocking the newcomers who wanted to join the Rocks Pirates.

At the same time, the domineering aura of Li Yuan and other cadres also bloomed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

One after another, terrifying domineering auras overlapped each other, and suddenly the sky

was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if a storm was about to come.

In this terrifying appearance scene, Rocks and many Rocks Pirates cadres stand together,

forming a historic picture of everyone being villains.

This is an era that belongs exclusively to the Rocks Pirates!

Those pirates who were so lively just now were all frightened by Rocks and the cadres. They swallowed their saliva and stared at the scene in a daze.

"Hahahaha, you bastards, do you want to join the Rocks Pirates? Do you want fame, wealth,

and power?"

"If you want, then fight. Only 20,000 people survive in the end can join the Rocks Pirates." As soon as Rocks said this, the scene suddenly became silent.
