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

Chapter 228 VS Red Earl

“Hahahaha, Golden Lion, you can’t do it!!”

Li Yuan laughed loudly while attacking frantically.

The Golden Lion now has multiple sword wounds on his body, his face is pale, his breath is weak, and his physical strength is severely depleted. If he continues to fight, he will definitely lose.

Golden Lion didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on the Seven Star Sword. It was this sword that sucked a large amount of his blood away, which caused him to consume so much physical strength in just five days.

When he first got the news about Li Yuan's Seven Star Sword, he thought he could block it with his armament domineering, but when he actually faced the sword.

Only to find that as long as he was hit, even the Armament Haki would be difficult to resist. After all, his physique was not strong, and his Armament Haki was similar to Li Yuan's. How could he block the sharpness of the Seven Star Sword with his flesh and blood?

Once the Armament Haki is broken, the Seven Star Sword will be able to break through the physical defense, and being sucked blood is inevitable.

If this continues and the fight goes on, Li Yuan will definitely win.

Unless he can avoid being hit by the Seven Star Sword, he can avoid having his blood sucked and will not be defeated!
"The Secret of Three Elements Combining into One: Slaying God!!!"

The moment he sensed a flaw in the golden lion, Li Yuan's three sword intents burst out again.

A flash of blood-red light appeared, and the power of the sword seemed to be able to kill all the gods and Buddhas.

"boom!!!"

The Golden Lion subconsciously blocked with his two swords, but the terrifying force crushed the two swords in his hands and smashed them towards his own chest.

At the critical moment, the Golden Lion used the power of the Floating Fruit to block the damage of the sword, and at the same time immediately flew back into the sky, removing the power of the sword.

"Hahahaha, Li Yuan, I lose this time, I admit it!"

After Golden Lion finished speaking, he immediately flew away from the arena. He was forced to use the power of his fruit, which was equivalent to admitting defeat.

With the end of Li Yuan's battle with Golden Lion, the list of the top four in the Kendo Tournament has been announced.

It was Li Yuan, Roger, Redfield and Wang Zhi!
The next day, under the attention of the world, the four began to draw lots again. The result of the draw was Li Yuan VS Redfield, Roger VS Wang Zhi
"Hahahaha, Ryder, I didn't expect that we would be fighting again!"

Looking at the Red Earl standing opposite him, Li Yuan smiled.

They had fought twice before, but Li Yuan won both times. This was the third time.

"Li Yuan, this is our third battle, but I will definitely win this time!"

The Red Earl said confidently.

"Then come on!"

"The Secret of Three Elements Combining into One: Blood Dragon Sky Slash!"

Li Yuan laughed loudly and swung his sword. The sword intent transformed into a thousand-meter-long blood dragon that soared into the sky and attacked the Red Earl as fast as a dragon emerging from the abyss.

The sword intent has been condensed to the level of Li Yuan, so it is completely possible to transform the sword intent into a shape.

"Bloody Hunt!"

The Red Earl condensed his sword intent and slashed out a thousand-meter-long strike, but when the strike collided with the blood dragon, it was unable to cut the blood dragon in half. The blood dragon opened its mouth wide and bit towards the Red Earl.

Seeing this, the Red Earl dodged the blood dragon's attack at an extremely fast speed like a stream of light.

However, just as he dodged the blood dragon's attack range, Li Yuan had already slashed at him with the Seven Star Sword.

After his Observation Haki noticed it, Earl Red raised his sword umbrella to block the Seven Star Sword, but was caught off guard and was hit by Li Yuan's sword, knocking him back hundreds of meters.

"This guy's strength and sword intent have become much stronger."

The Red Earl said solemnly.

Ever since he was defeated by Li Yuan last time, he had worked hard to improve his physique, and his sword power had also become more condensed.

But he didn't expect that Li Yuan's physical strength and swordsmanship improved more than his. Is this guy really infinitely improving? Is there no limit?
"Hahahaha, Ryder, you are indeed much stronger than you were two years ago, but I will not stand still and wait for you!"

Li Yuan noticed the surprise in the Red Earl's eyes and rushed over while speaking. He would not give up the pursuit of victory just because of the Red Earl's surprise.

When Li Yuan attacked again, Earl Red released the force from his feet, steadied his body, blocked the attacking Seven-Star Sword with his umbrella sword, then deflected the Seven-Star Sword as far as possible and stabbed Li Yuan's heart with the sword umbrella.

Li Yuan did not retreat but advanced, dodging sideways while the Seven Star Sword swiftly attacked the Red Earl's neck.

The Red Earl had no choice but to pull back and attack Li Yuan with his umbrella sword to stop him from getting closer.

"Explosive step!"

Unexpectedly, the moment Li Yuan blocked the sword umbrella, an even more powerful force erupted from his feet, making him even faster and getting closer to the Red Earl once again.

"Shadowstep!"

Seeing this, Red Earl also burst out with even faster speed. Ever since his defeat to Li Yuan, he had deliberately learned physical skills in order to make himself even faster.

After all, he knew how bloodthirsty Li Yuan's Seven Star Sword was. Only by being fast enough could he avoid being slashed by Li Yuan's Seven Star Sword. "Failed again!"

When Li Yuan approached, the Red Earl wanted to use his special observation Haki to read Li Yuan's memory. However, he could not read the intention and direction of the attack even though it was not the memory. His special observation Haki was ineffective on Li Yuan!
"Hahahaha, Reid, you really didn't let me down!"

Seeing that the Red Earl was so fast, Li Yuan became even more excited, and he began to attack more violently with the Seven Star Sword in his hand in line with his speed.

The Red Earl's speed was not slow at all, and Li Yuan's violent and fast attacks were all blocked by the Red Earl.

However, it was a little difficult for the Red Earl to block. After all, Li Yuan's swordsmanship was too tricky and his style was too strange and changeable. Without the help of mind reading, the Red Earl could not block or dodge all the enemy's attacks as easily as he did with other people.

Li Yuan and Red Earl were moving so fast that most people couldn't keep up with them. Even some great swordsmen could only see two figures constantly crossing each other and couldn't even see their swords clearly.

Roger's swordsmanship is very strong, much stronger than Wang Zhi's. After the two fought for half a day, Wang Zhi was defeated by Roger.

At this moment, almost everyone's attention was focused on the battle between Li Yuan and Redfield. This peak showdown would determine the top two in the World Kendo Championship!
"Is this the world's top swordsman? I am so far behind!"

Roberts stared at the battle between Li Yuan and the Red Earl and sighed.

After he was defeated by Li Yuan, Li Yuan told him that his swordsmanship lacked a lot of training and was far behind the world's top swordsmen. Now it seems that what he said was absolutely right.

"Master, in ten years, I will also participate in the World Kendo Tournament!"

Hearing Roberts' words, Hawkeye Mihawk next to him said firmly.

When the top 16 contestants came out, the Wuji Pirates had already announced the date for the next World Kendo Tournament, which would be ten years later!
And every ten years, a World Kendo Championship is held, which is simply the sound of nature for many swordsmen!

This action earned the Wuji Pirates the favor of swordsmen all over the world.

"Hahahaha, of course. You are my most outstanding disciple. When you go out to sea in the future, don't stay in the Four Seas for too long. Come to the New World for training as soon as possible."

"Ten years from now, you will definitely have a place in this world swordsmanship competition. Twenty years from now, you will have the opportunity to pursue the position of the world's greatest swordsman."

Roberts was very satisfied with his disciple. Although he was born into a noble family, he had an unwavering swordsmanship. He was a natural swordsman and a natural swordsman!
"Roger, are you sure you can handle Li Yuan?"

Rayleigh asked Roger who had already sat down, because Roger's next opponent would be Li Yuan.

Although it seems that Li Yuan and the Red Earl are evenly matched now, people at their level can see that it is only a matter of time before the Red Earl is defeated.

"Hey, you can see that Li Yuan's swordsmanship that combines the three sword intents is too domineering."

Roger sighed.

His strengths lie in his Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki. His swordsmanship is weaker than both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki. If we simply compare swordsmanship, he naturally cannot beat Li Yuan.

"That's fine. Since you came in second, you'll get at least 8 billion berries. Our pirate group won't have to worry about money for a long time in the future."

Rayleigh said indifferently.

On the first day, Red Earl was still able to compete with Li Yuan.

The next day, Earl Red found it difficult to defend against Li Yuan's sword moves.

On the third day, Earl Red was at a disadvantage and was injured by Li Yuan from time to time.

On the fourth day, the Red Earl was completely suppressed by Li Yuan.

On the fifth day, the Red Earl's battle rhythm was completely controlled by Li Yuan.

On the sixth day, the Red Earl, like the Golden Lion before him, was almost in a position of being crushed.

"You win!"

On the seventh day, the Red Earl conceded defeat. If the fight had continued, the outcome would not have changed much.

He didn't expect that he would lose to Li Yuan again. Although he didn't use his full strength this time, Li Yuan didn't use his full strength either.

Even if both sides fight with all their might, the outcome won't change much.

"Hahahahaha, Reid, I beat you again, and I will continue to beat you next time!"

Looking at the Red Earl who admitted defeat, Li Yuan laughed.

"That's not certain. You might be the loser next time!"

The Red Earl looked at Li Yuan's smug expression, his face darkened, and he stepped down immediately after saying some harsh words. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the whole world.

"This World Kendo Championship has reached the finals stage. The finals will be held in three days, and the two finalists are Li Yuan and Roger. Let's look forward to their showdown in two days!"

The voice of the beautiful host spread throughout the Douzhan Pyramid.

This makes everyone even more excited for the finals in three days!

During this period, Redfield and Wang Zhi fought again, and the third place was decided, and it was Redfield!
