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

Chapter 342 The decisive battle is coming
"Shocked! Whitebeard, who possesses the power to destroy the world, is actually going to duel with the world's greatest swordsman, Li Yuan!!"

"A duel between the two strongest men in the world will select the strongest man in the world. After Rocks, will the strongest pirate appear again?"

"The world's top showdown will take place on Brand Island. Who will be the final winner?"

"."

As the news of the duel between Whitebeard and Li Yuan spread, countless people began to get excited.

Especially those pirates from the New World, all headed towards Brand Island. They all wanted to see the duel between the two strongest people in the world and see how big the gap was between themselves and the strongest in the world.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, the strongest in the world? I don't know if he can kill me. I'm going to check it out!!"

After Kaido saw the newspaper about the duel between Li Yuan and Whitebeard, he immediately called his men to prepare for sailing.

“Hahahahaha, a duel between Newgate and Li Yuan? That’s great, it’s a good opportunity to see how strong they are now!!”

The golden lion laughed loudly.

Ever since his Float-Float Fruit awakened, his strength has skyrocketed, and his self-confidence has also begun to soar. If Li Yuan still shows the same strength that defeated Roger in the kendo competition, he is confident that he can defeat Li Yuan!
"Mom, mom, the duel between Li Yuan and Whitebeard? I can't miss it!"

Charlotte Lingling, who lives a reclusive life, also took her children out to sea because of the news.

"Dad is going to duel with Whitebeard? That's great, I haven't seen Dad use his full strength yet!!"

After seeing the newspaper, Gai Nie, who was traveling with Hawkeye on the Grand Line, immediately jumped up with excitement.

Although he is Li Yuan's son, Gai Nie has never known how strong his father is or what level of kendo he has reached.

Now he could finally see with his own eyes the gap between him and the world's greatest swordsman.

"What? The world's greatest swordsman, Li Yuan, is going to duel with Whitebeard? Where? Is it too late for us to rush over now?"

After hearing what Gai Nie said, Hawkeye asked hurriedly.

"The duel will take place at Brand Island in the middle and rear of the New World in four days. With my vehicle, I should be able to make it in time if I rush there at full speed. Fortunately, we are now in the Grand Line. If we were in the Four Seas, we would definitely be too late!"

As Gai Nie said this, he immediately prepared the supplies and loaded them onto the ship. Hawkeye also followed to move the goods. If he couldn't make it in time, he would lose a lot. That was a full-scale battle between the world's greatest swordsman!

"Fffffffffff, the world's strongest duel? I want to witness it with my own eyes too!"

After hearing the news, Doflamingo, who was on Fishman Island, also wanted to witness the battle to give birth to the world's strongest person, just like he had witnessed the death of the Pirate King and the beginning of the Pirate Era.

"Hey, young master, isn't this too dangerous?"

Trebol, who was following Doflamingo, said worriedly.

That is the world's number one duel. Countless big pirates in the New World will go to watch the fight. Their strength is not enough in front of those big pirates. Maybe one of the big pirates doesn't like them and may destroy them directly.

"Fufufufufu, we are the partners of the Wuji Pirates. When the time comes, we will follow the people of the Wuji Pirates and there will naturally be no danger!"

Doflamingo took full advantage of his current partnership with the Promise Pirates.

As the news spread more and more widely, many pirates from all over the world were quickly heading to Brand Island. They all wanted to witness the birth of the world's strongest.

Holy Land Marijoa:

"Our plan was successful. Let the CP who infiltrated the Wuji Pirates prepare. Once it is confirmed that Li Yuan appears on Brand Island, they will immediately start to act and see if they can find the information hidden in the laboratory in Wano Country, as well as the dragon bone of the millennium dragon."

The Five Elders gathered together, and they tried to sow discord between the Infinity Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, not just to prevent the Infinity Pirates from having time to deal with the World Government.

It is also for the experimental data and thousand-year-old dragon bones of the Wuji Pirates that have excited the Five Elders.

If they can obtain the information about the weapons manufactured by the Infinity Pirates, they will be able to replace the Infinity Pirates and become the world's largest arms producer. At that time, with the network of relationships in the World Government, they will be able to sell the arms to the greatest extent.

It only takes one or two years to recover the world government’s previous losses, five years to surpass the prosperity of the world government, and ten years to reap 10% of the world’s wealth!

Similarly, the Millennium Dragon Bones are also within their target range. The Millennium Dragon Bones that the World Government bought back have been refined into life-extending potions. After obtaining the life-extending potions, they are even more eager for other Millennium Dragon Bones.

"What, ninety-five CP members died?"

However, what made the Five Elders angry was that they had just given the order and the CP had not yet started to act, but 95% of the CP hidden in the Wuji Pirates had already died.

This made them very angry, it was obvious that the Infinite Pirates had already discovered these CPs before, but pretended not to have discovered them. Now perhaps they have noticed that the World Government has taken action against the Infinite Pirates, so they are killing the chicken to scare the monkey in front of the World Government.

They were just dreaming of getting the core secrets of the Infinite Pirates, but now, before they even started any action, 95% of their people have been killed by the Infinite Pirates.

They now have no doubt that the remaining five CP members have also been discovered by the Wuji Pirates, and are specially kept by the Wuji Pirates to report the "results" to their Five Elders!

This is simply a blatant slap in the face!

"After the last incident, the Wuji Pirates have been on guard. They guessed that we would take action during the time when Li Yuan was not in the Wuji Sea, so they killed those CPs!"

"If that's the case, then the information sent back by those CPs during this period of time is likely to be false, and the Wuji Pirates deliberately let us know!"

The scientific defense god of war, Saint Satan, said solemnly.

He didn't expect that the Wuji Pirates' intelligence was so powerful that they could even dig out all of their CP members who had sneaked in, and after digging them out, they could do so without letting the CP members find out. This kind of intelligence capability made him feel incredible. The Wuji Pirates' control over the Wuji Sea was too strong.

"Since the plan has failed, let's give up. With the current control of the Wuji Pirates over the territory, there is no way to sneak in except by storming."

The agricultural god Peter Saint shook his head.

Infinite Sea:

"Husband, all of the CPs in the Wuji Pirates and most of the spies from other forces have been eliminated."

Xia Qi said.

"That's good. Those guys really think that it's so easy to get into the Wuji Pirates. If I don't teach them a lesson, they will think that it's so easy to get information about our Wuji Pirates. They even want to make trouble inside the Wuji Pirates!"

Ever since the duel between Li Yuan and Whitebeard spread, the spies in the Wuji Pirates have been receiving orders from the forces they belong to. Most of them want to steal the Wuji Pirates' various technologies or cause trouble.

That's why Li Yuan issued the order to clear them out. Although these guys can't cause any trouble in the Wuji Sea, it would be really disgusting once they start making trouble.

Whitebeard Pirates: "Dad, it's all our fault. If we were stronger than those leaders of the Infinity Pirates, Dad wouldn't have to fight alone!"

Marco said.

Albertus Gomez was killed by Mari, a cadre of the Promise Pirates. The Whitebeard Pirates were very angry and wanted to avenge their crew members.

But there is no way the Infinite Pirates would hand over their leader Mari, so if they want to kill Mari to avenge their companions, they can't avoid the Infinite Pirates. The most important thing is that their Whitebeard Pirates cannot defeat the Infinite Pirates.

So in the end Whitebeard decided to challenge Li Yuan to a duel, without involving his crew members in the fight, just to protect Marco and the others.

Otherwise, if they really had to go into full-scale war with the Infinity Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely be the ones to lose, and at least half of the crew members under the Whitebeard Pirates would die.

"Gulala, revenge for your own children, that's what a father should do!"

Although Whitebeard noticed that something was wrong with this matter, no matter what, it was Mari from the Promise Pirates who killed his son. This is a fact that cannot be changed. Whitebeard cannot kill Mari who is in the Promise Pirates, so he can only fight with Li Yuan to vent his anger, and also to intimidate those who are secretly plotting against Whitebeard!

"Dad, after a few years when I become stronger, I will definitely defeat those executives of the Infinity Pirates!"

Rama Arellano, who is four meters tall and has bulging muscles all over his body, said firmly.

He was the son that Whitebeard specifically searched for and adopted two years ago. Whitebeard also gave him the Parahuman Wave Fruit, and his strength improved rapidly, almost catching up with Marco.

"Gulala, Arellano, Dad believes you will have the ability in the future!"

Whitebeard has high expectations for Rama Arellano. The Parahuman Wave Fruit has great potential, and with Arellano's own efforts, his future achievements will definitely not be bad.

Brand Island:

As the day of the duel approaches, many pirate ships have docked in the waters around Brand Island. They all want to witness the birth of the world's strongest person.

Here, there are not only pirates, but also people from the navy, the world government, and other forces disguised as pirates.

After all, this kind of duel would absolutely not be recorded by Den Den Mushi or other means. Many people with sensitive identities dare not appear in the New World, so they can only send people to witness this decisive battle for them, and then these people will describe it after returning.

"Hey, young master, why don't these people go to the island, or even get close to Brand Island?"

"If the distance is so far, how can they see if Li Yuan and Whitebeard really fight?"

Trebol, who was following the Wuji Pirates, asked in confusion.

Doflamingo did not say anything after hearing what Trebol said, because he himself was also confused.

“Hahahahahaha, you guys have never seen a true top-level battle, right? Those people can easily destroy an entire island!”

"Not to mention our captain. If he wants to destroy this island, he only needs one sword!"

"If you dare to go to the island, or get within a thousand meters of the island, even the aftermath of the battle between our captain and Whitebeard can easily kill you, so if you want to observe closely and want to seek death, we will not stop you!"

After hearing what Trebol said, Kumas, a cadre of the Infinite Pirates, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The people on these ships all used their connections to find the Wuji Pirates and wanted them to protect them so that they could come here to watch the battle between Li Yuan and Whitebeard.

Many of these people have cooperative relations with the Infinite Pirates, so the Infinite Pirates sent Kumas and some pirates to protect them.

Anyway, the Wuji Pirates are coming here too, so it's no problem to take them along.

"Can one sword destroy an island?"

After hearing what Kumas said, Doflamingo was shocked. The most powerful person he had ever seen was Esdeath, who killed him instantly with one sword.

But compared with Li Yuan, the world's greatest swordsman who can destroy an island with one sword, there is a world of difference!

“Na na na na, destroying an island with one sword, this is no joke!”

Torrepol was also shocked beyond words by Kumas' words.

"You'll know when the duel starts!"

Kumas had no intention of continuing to explain. Any explanation would be worse than letting them see it with their own eyes!
"That's the Flying Pirates coming!!"

"The new great pirate Kaido is here too!"

"Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, Brandon, Charlotte Linlin and other pirates are all here!!"

"Oh my god, almost all the great pirates from the New World are here!"

"."

With the arrival of many large pirate groups such as the Flying Pirates, the area around Brand Island is bustling with activity.

"Hahahaha, those two guys Newgate and Li Yuan haven't arrived yet, it seems I'm here too early!"

After the many spaceships led by the Golden Lion arrived, they landed on the sea from the sky, which was a sign of respect for Li Yuan and Newgate.

After all, if I were to duel with someone else, I would never allow anyone to overlook my duel with someone else from high above!
"Mom, mom, little brother Kaido, congratulations on becoming a great pirate. Do you want to have a child with me? In the future, our child will definitely become a great pirate like us!"

When Charlotte Linlin saw Kaido, her eyes immediately lit up.

Kaido has grown up, and based on her friendship with Kaido, she can be considered to have a natural ally again.

However, after seeing the powerful aura of Kaido, she wanted to have a child with Kaido even more!
"Lingling, I'm not interested for now!"

Seeing Charlotte Linling's fiery gaze, Kaido's mouth twitched suddenly.

"Whitebeard and Li Yuan are here!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, two pirate ships sailed over from both sides of the island. Standing on the bows were today's protagonists, Whitebeard and Li Yuan!

After approaching the island, Li Yuan and Whitebeard jumped onto the island, and then the pirate group that originally carried them immediately turned around and left.

As they are now at the two ends of the island, they cannot see each other, but they can clearly sense that the other party is on the island.
