Chapter 47: Frenzied Harvest

"This is the power of Rocks? No wonder he's called the world's strongest man; truly formidable!"

This was the first time Li Yuan witnessed Rocks' power, and it was also the first time he clearly saw the pinnacle of combat strength in this world. It's incredibly strong!

One man against three admiral-level powerhouses! Although among these three, only Kong was the strongest, with the other two significantly weaker, this feat was still astonishing!

"Great Buddha Impact!"

As Rocks battled the three admiral-level powerhouses, Sengoku and his team charged ashore, launching a terrifying shockwave with a wave of their hand.

"Gurararara, Sengoku, I'll play with you."

"Tremor."

Seeing Sengoku rushing over, Whitebeard charged, using the tremor power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to shatter the shockwave completely.

"Garp, take my sword!"

"Fierce Lion Slash!"

Golden Lion, having previously crossed swords with Garp, chose him as his opponent as Garp charged forward.

"Zephyr, prepare to die!"

Charlotte Linlin confronted Black Arm Zephyr in battle.

The navy was well aware of the veteran members of the Rocks Pirates and immediately dispatched powerful mid-ranking officers to intercept them.

However, Li Yuan, a newly joined member, was overlooked.

Many pirates rumored that Li Yuan became a member by taking advantage of a loophole and could only hold his ground against John in air combat for a day.

As a result, the navy didn't pay much attention to Li Yuan, sending only a regular vice admiral, Skina, to intercept him.

"They're really underestimating me, but that's fine. Taking your head as a vice admiral will establish my reputation quite nicely."

Li Yuan declared with fighting spirit. The level of a vice admiral was once an insurmountable challenge when he first went to sea.

But in less than half a year, the strength of an ordinary vice admiral no longer fazed him.

"Arrogant! Today, I'll kill you, the yet-to-grow member of the Rocks Pirates!"

"Shave!"

"Finger Gun: Barrage!"

As Skina spoke, he charged forward, his fingers covered in black Armament Haki, aiming rapidly at Li Yuan's throat and heart.

"Shave!"

Seeing Skina's machine-gun-like attack, Li Yuan used Shave to dodge.

"Infinite: Air Shattering Sword Technique"

Simultaneously, the longsword in its sheath was drawn, unleashing a hundred-meter-long sharp slash at incredible speed.

"Armament Iron Block: Steel!"

Li Yuan's slash was so fast that even Skina's Observation Haki couldn't keep up, and he couldn't dodge, forced to take it head-on.

"Crack!"

"Slash!"

The extremely sharp slash broke through Skina's Armament Haki, cutting deep into his bones and sending him flying.

In just one encounter, Skina fell behind due to underestimating Li Yuan's strength.

"Your speed is too slow, and your Shave usage is not refined enough!"

As Skina flew back, Li Yuan pursued, closing in before Skina even landed, giving him no time to react.

"Moonwalk!"

Skina, enduring the pain, used Moonwalk to stabilize himself in mid-air.

"Slash!"

However, as soon as Skina regained his footing, Li Yuan's black blade was already at his face.

"Boom!"

Instinctively, Skina covered his face with Armament Haki-clad hands, but Li Yuan's slash sent him flying again.

Once Skina fell behind, Li Yuan controlled the pace of the fight, leaving Skina with little opportunity to counterattack.

Had it not been for Skina's years of combat experience and Armament Haki, he might have already been beheaded by Li Yuan.

"Navy, didn't you say you'd eliminate me earlier? Why are you hiding now?"

While relentlessly attacking, Li Yuan taunted Skina.

Now, Skina was completely on the defensive, with no ability to counterattack.

A single misstep would result in severe injury, leaving him no room to retort to Li Yuan's taunts.

Within minutes, Skina's body was covered in numerous sword wounds, bleeding profusely and staining his pants red.

"Damn it, I'm no match; retreat!"

Seeing his injuries worsen, Skina realized he was no match for Li Yuan, so he retreated towards the navy ship without hesitation.

Escaping when outmatched was no challenge for Skina; fighting to the death was the most foolish thing to do.

"Trying to run? Did you ask me, Navy?"

Seeing Skina attempting to flee, Li Yuan coldly laughed.

"Triple Shave!"

In an instant, Li Yuan used Shave three times in succession, his extreme speed breaking the sound barrier and appearing in front of Skina in no time.

"Infinite: Starfall Thrust!"

At maximum speed, Li Yuan's sword thrust forward like a shooting star across the night sky, surpassing all speeds.

"Block it!"

Facing impending death, Skina's inner voice screamed frantically as his body instinctively covered itself with Armament Haki, raising his hands in defense.

A streak of light flashed by, as if breaking through space itself, capable of felling even the stars in the sky.

"Slash!"

Skina's hands were pierced by the sword, the blade emerging from the back of his neck, completely penetrating his throat.

"Slash!"

Blood gushed from Skina's throat as he stared at Li Yuan, eyes wide open in death.

"I said I'd use your death to establish my reputation. You've died a worthy death."

Li Yuan withdrew his sword, speaking to the lifeless Skina.

"Kill!"

After slaying Skina, Li Yuan remained unsatisfied. With no navy to intercept him, he charged into the crowded battlefield.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a fifty-meter-long slash, instantly killing a rear admiral fighting a Rocks Pirates squad leader.

Then, as if in an unchallenged realm, Li Yuan continued to reap the lives of the navy with his sword on the battlefield.
