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

Chapter 257: Fighting Garp Again
"So it's the Life Return that locks all the blood in the body? No wonder it can resist the blood-sucking ability of the Seven Star Sword!"

The next moment, when Li Yuan saw the pale muscles around Karp's wound, he knew that Karp had used the life-returning technique to lock and transfer all the blood around him.

Reduce the amount of blood in the wound to a minimum, so that the Seven Star Sword will naturally not absorb any blood.

This is something that can only be achieved with the ability to predict and a deep understanding of the return of life.

“Hahahahahaha, I have spent the past two years thinking of a solution to the problem of the Seven-Star Demon Sword’s bloodthirstiness. This time, just die under my iron fist!”

When Karp saw Li Yuan's surprised expression, even though he was injured, it didn't affect his good mood.

At the same time, this minor injury has no effect on Garp at all, and he will recover quickly after his life is restored.

At this moment, his iron fist hit Li Yuan's abdomen again.

"Humph, little by little, it adds up to a lot. You can't succeed every time. Even if you succeed, your physical strength will be consumed!"

Li Yuan sneered and used the Seven Star Sword to block Garp's fist.

This method can be used to avoid being sucked blood by the Seven Star Sword, but the requirements are very high. I'm afraid the only one in the world who can do it is Garp.

But this is not without cost. First, Garp's Observation Haki can accurately predict the trajectory of the Seven Star Sword every time.

The second is that even if the Seven Star Sword cannot absorb much blood, it does not mean that it cannot absorb any blood. As long as it cuts enough, it can still absorb enough blood.

The third is that every time Garp uses Life Return to do this kind of thing, it consumes physical strength. Once it happens too many times, Garp's physical strength will be consumed much more seriously than Li Yuan.

"Then let's see who can't hold on first!"

Garp was unmoved by Li Yuan's words, and hit Li Yuan's face with his other iron fist even harder.

Of course he knew what Li Yuan said, but there was nothing he could do about it. If he wanted to avoid being sucked blood by the demon sword, he had to dodge it.

If he cannot dodge, his Armament Haki cannot completely block the sharpness of the Seven Star Sword. In this case, this is the only way to prevent the demon sword from devouring his blood.

Otherwise, it would be like last time, where too much of his blood was consumed, leading to a severe depletion of his physical strength in the later stages.

"Of course you will be the first one to give up. The final winner will be me, Li Yuan!!"

As he spoke, a confident smile appeared on Li Yuan's lips.

“The blood is boiling!”

Immediately afterwards, the blood in Li Yuan's body began to flow faster and began to boil.

Suddenly, wisps of white smoke emanated from the pores on Li Yuan's body, causing his strength, speed, reaction and other abilities to increase rapidly.

The power of vampires is to control blood, not only the blood of others, but also their own blood.

Now Li Yuan is controlling his own blood to achieve a state similar to Luffy's Gear 2 in the original work, making himself stronger on his original basis.

Under his own precise control, this state would not cause any side effects to Li Yuan. It only consumed a tiny bit of his physical strength, which was not worth mentioning at all.

With the two enhancements of life return, normal strengthening of limbs and boiling blood, Li Yuan's strength is much stronger than normal.

“Blood Rage Step!!”

The next moment, Li Yuan's speed increased dramatically, so fast that even Cap had difficulty reacting when he saw this speed for the first time.

Garp's observation Haki captured Li Yuan's movements, but his body did not react at this moment. He did not even have the chance to charge and punch, and could only passively block the iron fist in front of his chest.

With one sword, even Garp's iron fist could not block the edge of the Seven Star Sword. The powerful force from the Seven Star Sword even made Garp's iron fist hit his chest, causing him severe pain in his chest.

"boom!!!"

Caught off guard, Garp's entire body was cut by the sword and flew backwards for thousands of meters.

At the same time, it flew up to Garp who was flying backwards like a ray of blood, and its speed was even faster than Garp's flying speed.

However, Garp is worthy of being Garp. Facing Li Yuan, who is stronger than him in overall strength and has had his combat power increased once, he did not lose confidence. Instead, he quickly stabilized his body with high morale, then dodged Li Yuan's pursuit sword and readjusted his state.

“Hahahahahaha, I didn’t expect that in addition to the initial increase in life return, you actually have another means of increase. However, this superposition of increases will cause your physical strength to be drastically consumed!”

Garp wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed, as if he was not the one who was completely at a disadvantage. "Want to know? Then come and try, and see if you can hold on until I run out of energy!"

Li Yuan showed an ambiguous smile and rushed forward again with sword in hand.

At this moment, Li Yuan is much stronger than before. He is better than Garp in speed, attack and defense.

Facing such a powerful Li Yuan, even though Garp was full of fighting spirit and excited and eager to fight, he was still suppressed by Li Yuan.

The battle between the two was crazy and fierce. Garp's strength was indeed very strong. Now at the age of 51, he is at his peak. No matter how strong Li Yuan is, he is not afraid at all!

When he was much weaker than he is now, he was not afraid of Rocks. Now that he is stronger, facing Li Yuan who is even weaker than Rocks, he naturally has no fear, only an intense fighting spirit.

The same goes for Li Yuan. It can be said that now, except for some unused power of the devil fruit, he has already made an all-out effort.

The powerful fighting spirit spread throughout his body. He was obsessed with fighting and becoming stronger, and at this moment he was enjoying the fight with Garp very much. There were not many people in this world who could fight with him to this extent!
The battle between the two was fierce, massive and intense. No one dared to approach within a radius of ten thousand meters where they were fighting.

The occasional violent collisions would cause the entire island to shake violently. You can imagine how fierce the battle was.

After Li Yuan flew to the naval fortress, many cadres of the Wuji Pirates also flew to the fortress one after another. Barrett even directly found Zhan Guo as his opponent!

"Hahahahahaha, Admiral Sengoku, let's continue the battle that was not completed two years ago!!"

Barrett transformed into a human-beast form and stood in front of the big Buddha Zhan Guo, blocking his way!
"Admiral, kill!!"

Hermes also followed Barrett to deal with Sengoku.

Zhan Guo was Hermes' first enemy, and this enemy taught him a lesson so badly, he must take revenge no matter what!
During the past two years, Hermes has been fighting, fighting, and fighting again against the Giants. In addition, he has continued to fight with many cadres of the Infinity Pirates.

His strength has skyrocketed in the two years of continuous fighting. Now he is no longer the man who could be slapped away by Zhan Guo!
Zhan Guo knew that if he didn't defeat these two people, he would be dragged down, so Zhan Guo didn't say much. The moment he raised the Buddha's palm, he combined his own shock wave with the domineering domineering.

"Big Buddha Impact!!"

The violent shock wave force was pushed out by the Buddha's palm and instantly hit Barrett and Hermes.

"Gravity Punch!!"

Barrett didn't dodge at all. He started with the Eight-punch. Gravity was attached to it. He punched out with one punch. The impact force and gravity were integrated, and he faced the shock wave of the Warring States head-on.

The collision of the two violent impacts caused a huge aftermath impact, tearing the ground within a hundred meters in radius, shattering the rocks, and billowing smoke and dust like a dragon.

However, Sengoku is Sengoku after all. Even if Barrett's gravity impact plus Eight Punch are not inferior to Sengoku's shock wave, Barrett, who has not mastered the technique of domineering color entanglement, is no match for Sengoku.

He was defeated by Zhan Guo's Big Buddha attack, which caused him severe pain all over his body and he retreated dozens of meters.

However, Barrett was not surprised by this, and was even very excited, because two years ago, when he faced the same move by Zhan Guo, he was more seriously injured and was pushed back farther. Now, he can fully withstand this injury. This also indirectly proves that the gap between him and Zhan Guo is getting closer and closer!

At the moment when Zhan Guo and Barrett attacked, Hermes also attacked. He had fought countless battles in the past two years, and his combat instinct was terrifyingly strong.

In the Dai-Nyu-dō form, Hermes is only slightly smaller than Daibutsu Sengoku.
"Eight Punch Secret: Double Heavy Cannon!!"

A pair of huge fists covered in dark armed color domineering suddenly attacked, and the extreme fists carried a violent impact force and hit the waist of the Warring States.

As soon as Zhan Guo released a shock wave, another Buddha's palm blocked Hermes' attack, but Hermes' tremendous strength and impact force blasted Zhan Guo back more than ten meters.

"These two pirates have become much stronger!"

After just one contact, Zhan Guo calculated the gap between them two years ago and now. It can be said that the gap is very large.

Two years ago, the Promise Pirates had to send out at least three cadres to stop him. Now, just Barrett and Hermes are enough to stop him!

Although his body in the form of the Warring States Buddha was huge, it was still flexible. He used the shaving technique to the extreme. Combined with the power of the impact, his instantaneous explosive power was very strong. He disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye and appeared behind Hermes.

"Big Buddha Push Palm!"

The shock wave in the palm of Zhan Guo's hand became more condensed and compressed to the extreme. It did not rush out directly from the palm of his hand, but condensed on the palm of his hand. As Zhan Guo blasted out with his palm, the power reached a new level.

If the Big Buddha's impact is a range damage, then today's Big Buddha's push palm is a single-target damage, which is more lethal to individuals and single targets.
