One Piece:Becoming the King of the World from the Rocks Era

However, Roz was merely surprised; it did not mean he would fear the opponent. As Li Yuan's child, he had known no fear other than that of his father since childhood! "Wind God Slash!!"

Countless powers of wind quickly converged, transforming into a massive blade a hundred meters long. The invisible hurricane in the world was as if the Wind God had descended, wielding the hundred-meter blade and fiercely slashing down at Saint Lavende.

"Water Curtain of Heaven!!!"

Seeing this, Saint Lavende immediately mobilized his abilities, and countless streams of water cascaded down like a waterfall, blocking in front of him.

"Rip!!!"

However, even such a thick waterfall, dozens of meters deep, was easily torn apart by the Wind God Slash, cutting through like a hot knife through butter and directly striking Saint Lavende's serpentine body.

The scales on Saint Lavende's serpent body were torn apart as if made of paper, and the blade struck down to his spine, but it was resisted by the spine itself.

In an instant, countless serpent blood sprayed out, dripping and splattering in the air, creating a gruesome scene.

"Hahahahaha, damn World Government lackey, die for me!"

"Kill them, if we kill these guys, this world will be ours!"

"Celestial Dragons should not exist in this world; they should be completely exterminated today!"

"What a pity, the Five Elders were beaten to it by those five brats; otherwise, I would have gone to fight those who stand at the pinnacle of world power, to see if they are as tough as they seem!"

"..."

As Gai Nie and the others attacked the Five Elders, the other pirate crew members also began to engage the World Government's top combatants! Everyone present was one of the strongest members of their respective pirate crews, so facing the World Government's top combatants, they were not the least bit flustered; in fact, they were madly excited.

This battle would determine the fate of the world. As long as they won, this world would be ruled by them, the pirates. How could they not be thrilled? How could they not go crazy? "Hoohoohoo, damn Celestial Dragon, die for me!"

"Thunder Bagua!"

Transforming into his Human-Dragon Form, Kaido swung his kanabo and unleashed a powerful attack on the nearest Celestial Dragon's top combatant.

Deep inside, his hatred for the Celestial Dragons was no less than anyone else's, making Kaido one of the most eager for this battle to commence.

Now that the battle had begun, he no longer needed to suppress his hatred for the Celestial Dragons; he just needed to vent it fiercely and kill the Celestial Dragon in front of him! "Dirty pirate, how dare you invade Mary Geoise? Death will be your final destination!"

Celestial Dragon Ulysses Garcia looked at the charging Kaido with disdain, wielding a long sword covered in Armament Haki, he slashed down with all his might.

"Bang!!!"

However, before his disdainful expression could even fade, he felt an overwhelming force sweep over his entire body from the blade.

Though his face still held a look of disdain, his body was sent flying back like a cannonball.

"A greenhouse flower dares to clash with my thunder, seeking death!"

Now it was Kaido's turn to mock the opponent, but mockery aside, Kaido's speed did not slow down. As thunder surged, he rapidly charged toward the direction Ulysses Garcia was sent flying.

"Ulysses Garcia!!!"

Another top combatant Celestial Dragon, Andy Williams, saw his comrade being sent flying by Kaido's kanabo and immediately rushed to help.

But as he charged forward, he was blocked by several of Kaido's calamities.

Though Kaido's calamities alone might not match a top combatant, a few of them working together had no problem stopping one! "Damn pirates, get out of my way!"

Andy Williams drew his long sword and slashed, sending a massive strike toward the flame disaster, but it was dodged, and in retaliation, a jet of flame was shot back.

"Hahahahaha, if you want to interfere with our boss's battle, you have to get past us first!"

The plague disaster Queen laughed heartily, and behind him, mechanical devices launched five massive missiles.

"Since you seek death, I'll send you to hell first!"

Annoyed by Queen and the others, Andy Williams decided to kill these troublesome guys before making any other plans! At this moment, Kaido was like a frenzied beast, swinging his kanabo and relentlessly pursuing Ulysses Garcia to beat him down.

With his super strong defense and thick health, Kaido recklessly charged into the crowd.

"Damn pirates, how dare you look down on the Celestial Dragons? Die for me!"

Kaido's reckless behavior angered another top combatant Celestial Dragon, Trevor Brooks.

"Elbaf Spear: Nation's Might!"

However, before Trevor Brooks could get close to Kaido, an overwhelming shockwave surged toward him.

"Not good!!!"

Trevor Brooks instinctively covered his hands in Armament Haki and raised them in front, but he was still violently struck by the terrifying shockwave, sending his body flying like a cannonball.

"Mahh, Mahh, you damn Celestial Dragons, don't forget your enemies are not just Kaido, but also me!"

Charlotte Linlin revealed all her Homies, stepping on the thundercloud Zeus as she arrogantly charged toward the initially sent flying Trevor Brooks.

Following Charlotte Linlin were her three strongest children: Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Smoothie, and Charlotte Cracker.

Their goal was the same as Kaido's subordinates: to hold back one of the Celestial Dragon's top combatants.

"Yohohoho, damn Celestial Dragons, how dare you imprison me for so many years? This time, let me destroy you!"

"Hahahahaha, what Rocks couldn't accomplish back then, let me complete it!"

"The blood of the Celestial Dragons still stinks as always, but I happen to love it!"

"Exterminate the Celestial Dragons, rule the world!"

"..."

Kaido and Charlotte Linlin charged at the forefront, while John, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and Brandon were not far behind, rushing out alongside Kaido.

Their strength was significantly greater than that of the Celestial Dragons' top combatants, and they were pushing their opponents back steadily.

Excluding the Five Elders, the twenty-five top combatants were dealt with by the Beasts Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, John, and Brandon against eight, while the Flying Pirates faced seven, leaving the remaining ten to the Infinite Pirates.

However, when the twenty-three cadres of the Infinite Pirates appeared, they completely dominated the ten top combatants of the Celestial Dragons.

The twenty-three powerful combatants from the Infinite Pirates included: Esdeath, Akame, Asuna, Barrett, Hermes, Chinjao, Ashura Doji, Nepal, Howard, Kano, Karu, Kumas, Mari, Gerald, Amy, Enel, Tesoro, former Shichibukai Atle McClane, Doflamingo, Fujitora, Akainu, Weevil, and Green Bull.

Among these twenty-three, the vast majority did not adhere to the rules of combat, directly engaging in two-on-one fights.

The Celestial Dragons' top combatants were already weak, and facing the Infinite Pirates' two-on-one tactics, they found it nearly impossible to withstand.

In an instant, the battlefield of Mary Geoise was overwhelmingly in favor of the pirates, who had maintained the upper hand from the very beginning.

The only two who had not engaged were the Golden Lion and Li Yuan, both of whom were waiting for the World Government's strongest, Imu, to appear.

Meanwhile, they were observing the entire battlefield, and upon seeing the one-sided situation of the World Government, they couldn't help but smile.

"Hahaha, Li Yuan, it seems your Infinite Pirates really have a lot of top combatants!"

However, the Golden Lion's smile quickly faded as he realized that the Infinite Pirates' top combatants were indeed numerous, far surpassing those of the Flying Pirates! He did not want to see such a situation.

Once, he had thought that even if the Infinite Pirates had more top combatants than the Flying Pirates, it wouldn't be by much—just a few more at most.

Now, seeing the true strength of the Infinite Pirates on display, it was clear that they had more than doubled their numbers!

If the Flying Pirates were to engage the Infinite Pirates, there was no doubt that the Flying Pirates would suffer a humiliating defeat!

Fortunately, he had not clashed with the Infinite Pirates before; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable! "Hahahahaha, Golden Lion, you didn't want to have more children, while I have eight! They have all grown up now, and they are all top combatants, the strongest kind, while you only have two, and they lost to my two daughters. How can you compare with me!"

Li Yuan laughed heartily.

Hearing Li Yuan's triumphant laughter, the Golden Lion gritted his teeth.

Since Li Yuan had surpassed him, the Golden Lion had always felt suppressed.

Even now, he felt he could not match Li Yuan. If it weren't for the fact that they had not clashed over the years and had gotten along well during their time on the Rocks ship, sharing common ambitions, they would not have been able to join forces against the World Government.

"Hmph, the war has just begun. The world king you speculated about has yet to appear. As long as I defeat him, I will be the world king!"

"But don't worry, we've known each other for decades. If I become the world king, I won't kick you while you're down; you can still share the world with me!"

As he had said before, he was someone who could accept defeat. As long as this world war followed the previously agreed-upon rules, if Li Yuan won, he would naturally concede!

But for now, the outcome was still uncertain. As long as he won, the position of world king would be his! "Hahahahaha, is that so? Then let's wait and see who will become the new world king!"

Li Yuan laughed.

He liked the Golden Lion's straightforwardness and willingness to accept defeat.

Moreover, he did not want to reach a point of mutual destruction with the Golden Lion; after all, no matter how one looked at it, the Golden Lion had been his friend for many years!

Time rewind:

Core area of Pangea Castle: Sitting on the Void Throne, Imu protected the core area of Pangea Castle with his abilities during the explosion, preventing it from being destroyed.

"Another airstrike explosion, damn it!"

As the dark power surrounding him faded, even though Imu's face was not visible, his voice conveyed endless anger.

However, even though he knew who was responsible for all this, Imu did not rush out immediately to kill the enemy.

Instead, he quickly made his way to his backyard, where there was a massive, earthy-yellow rock straw hat. Seeing that the hat had not been destroyed, Imu let out a sigh of relief.

Immediately, a surge of dark power erupted from beneath Imu's feet, flowing into the base of the straw hat.

"Crack!!!"

The rock straw hat suddenly stood upright like a manhole cover.

Where the straw hat had originally covered, a massive underground entrance appeared.

Seeing this, Imu rushed down as fast as he could, not knowing how deep he traveled underground through this passage. When he reached the bottom, his vision suddenly opened up.

There was a space as large as two football fields, filled with various high-tech machines.

Most notably, there were over a hundred things resembling nutrient pods, each containing a person lying inside.

They were naked, and various nutrients were injected into their bodies through technological means.

Most importantly, these people were all still alive, and judging by their muscular bodies, each one was incredibly strong.

However, on their chests, there was a dark mark that filled their chests, inscribed with mysterious runes.

"Fortunately, nothing happened here!"

Looking at everything here unchanged, Imu breathed a sigh of relief. The massive explosion had made him most afraid of the aftershocks burying and destroying this place.

"Give me your power!"

With a wave of his hand, the dark runes on the chests of the more than a hundred people suddenly lit up with black light. The black light then flew out of the nutrient pods and into Imu's body.

"Truly wonderful!!"

The moment these dark powers entered Imu's body, he felt an incredible sense of comfort, as if he had become young again, his body filled with vitality.

Meanwhile, the bodies of those over a hundred people seemed to shrink slightly due to the departure of the black light. Though not obvious, they had indeed shrunk a little.

Consultation of Opinions: Some readers suggested that after finishing the pirate section, I could write about Dragon Ball, as the pirates are considered a lower world while Dragon Ball is a higher world.

Do any readers have opinions on this? I want to see how many agree with crossing over to Dragon Ball. (End of this chapter)
