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

Chapter 478 Li Yuan vs. Yim
"I don't want to stage a scene where an ant breaks through in the middle of a battle. If you don't have a stronger power, then you can die!"

Perhaps Yim realized Li Yuan's purpose, so he said this.

Although he also used Li Yuan to restore his body's fighting instincts during the battle, he was unwilling to let Li Yuan learn his Armament Haki techniques.

Although the probability of this happening is very low, Im doesn't want to gamble. Instead of doing so, he might as well use his true strength to kill the opponent!
More importantly, he found that he had been bombarding the opponent's body continuously, causing injuries. Even if it was a physique of an awakened Animal-type Mythical Beast Devil Fruit, it should have been seriously injured or even dying after his continuous bombardment.

But now the other party still looks energetic, without any signs of injury.

This was what surprised him the most. If he had not felt the power of the immortality surgery on Li Yuan, he would have suspected that Li Yuan had achieved immortality!

As Im spoke, a powerful force began to revive in his body, and the power of darkness burned around him like a flame.

That dark force was like a black hole that devoured its prey. Anyone who got close to it would be swallowed up by the darkness.

“Hahahahahaha, you’re such a petty person. But getting beaten all the time is not my style. I hope I won’t beat you to death next time!”

Seeing the change in Im's aura, Li Yuan naturally did not dare to continue fighting in ordinary human-beast form.

He clearly felt that if he continued to use the strength he had just used, Im might really seize the opportunity and kill him instantly.

He values ​​his life very much, and he doesn't want to use his life to verify whether what Im said is true.

"Life return, full body strengthening!"

As he spoke, Li Yuan's life returned to strengthen his entire body's muscles. All of a sudden, his muscles bulged to the limit. Even though he was wearing blood armor, it could be seen from the outside that Li Yuan's body had become stronger.

After strengthening his whole body, Li Yuan felt that the strength of his whole body had skyrocketed. If the previous state was Li Yuan’s most normal state, then the current state was his body’s strengthened state!
"Now, let's start the second round of battle, Im!!"

"kill!!!"

Without waiting for Yim to make a move, Li Yuan rushed forward with the Seven Star Sword and slashed at Yim's head!
Suddenly, the dark power burning in Im's body shrank back into his body, leaving only the dark power on his fist burning.

Seeing Li Yuan rushing towards him, Yim punched him as he did before.

The fist and the sword collided again, but this time, Li Yuan was not knocked away by Im, but blocked Im's fist unwaveringly!
"Hmm? Interesting. This technique of strengthening the body's strength shouldn't last long!"

Yim looked at Li Yuan's current condition with some surprise. Even though Li Yuan's body was wrapped in blood armor, Yim still realized why Li Yuan could enhance his pure physical strength so much in a short period of time.

It is precisely because Li Yuan is stronger than Im now in terms of pure strength that he can block Im's punch!
But Yim was wrong. Li Yuan's Life Return had already been trained to the peak and perfectly combined with his own abilities.

It is impossible for a normal person to strengthen himself by returning life for a long time, but as a vampire, there is endless blood hidden in his Seven Star Sword, and he can use the power of blood to perfectly make up for this shortcoming.

In other words, Li Yuan can maintain this enhanced state for ten days or half a month without stopping, which is enough to sustain until the moment of defeating Im.

"Darkness Impregnated!"

When the fist and the sword were in a stalemate, the dark fire that was originally burning on Im's fist suddenly surged onto the Seven Star Sword.

The dark fire possesses a terrifying devouring power. After it surged to the Seven Star Sword, it began to devour the blood power and armed color domineering on the Seven Star Sword.

This dark fire even wanted to spread from the Seven Star Sword to Li Yuan's arm.

"This dark power is really overbearing. Logically speaking, the power of the devil fruit will be restrained by the armament Haki. Now this dark power can even devour my armament Haki. It's incredible. This ability is completely beyond the scope!!"

"Blood baptism!!!"

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan immediately mobilized the blood in the Seven Star Sword to start washing away the Dark Fire's devouring, letting the blood be at the front to be devoured by the Dark Fire, thus preventing the Dark Fire from devouring Li Yuan's domineering aura and the Seven Star Sword itself.

Although he didn't know what the consequences would be if he was swallowed by the dark fire, he would never give the other party a chance to be swallowed. The unknown is the most dangerous!
At the same time, Li Yuan immediately increased his strength to force Yim back.

This dark fire was extremely overbearing, it could even devour the Armament Haki. He did not dare to let the dark fire continue to stay on the Seven Star Sword. Even though the Seven Star Sword had already turned into a black knife, he did not want to take the risk.

After all, the Seven Star Sword is part of his power. Without the Seven Star Sword, he would not be able to exert only 80% of his full strength!

"Instant cut!"

While forcing Im to retreat, Li Yuan rushed forward again, and while Im was unable to stabilize his body, he slashed at his abdomen with a sword.

"Pfft!!!"

The layer of dark power on Im's body blocked most of Li Yuan's power, but the Seven Star Sword still broke through the protection of darkness and slashed Im's abdomen!

However, when Li Yuan took action, Imna's fist filled with dark fire also hit his chest.

"Crack!"

With one punch, the blood armor on Li Yuan's chest instantly collapsed, the chest muscles caved in, and the whole person flew out like a cannonball.

"You deserve to die. How dare you steal the blood of God!!!"

Although Li Yuan was injured, Yim was very angry because he just noticed that a lot of blood had been sucked away from the injured part of his abdomen.

That was his blood, and it was stolen by this damn ant in front of him!

In anger, Im burst out at a faster speed than before. Li Yuan had just flown a few dozen meters away when Im caught up in an instant!

Without any hesitation, Yim threw a punch filled with anger towards Li Yuan.

"Hahahahaha, that's just stinky blood. I don't want it even if it's given to me!"

Facing Yim in this state, Li Yuan was not afraid at all. He used the Seven Star Sword to block Yim's fist.

He even used the force of Im's fist to retreat away from Im, then unloaded the force to stabilize his body, and then rushed over to fight with Im.

The power exerted by the angry Im was stronger than before. The power of the armed color domineering on his fist was constantly increasing, and the power of the dark fire was also constantly increasing. However, the current Li Yuan was not the normal Li Yuan. It was not an exaggeration to say that the power of Li Yuan in the enhanced state was the best in the world!

After all, he has already practiced the [Sword God Body Tempering Technique] to perfection at the ninth level, and his entire body has been completely tempered with domineering aura into a [Domineering Body]. Naturally, his strength is incomparably powerful, not to mention the strength after being enhanced.

Yim's power is also very strong. He is the most powerful person Li Yuan has ever seen except himself.

Li Yuan suspected that he had also cultivated a domineering body, that is, he used the armed color domineering aura to temper his entire body, and his devil fruit was also the kind of animal-type mythical beast that could enhance his own strength.

After all, Im has lived for eight hundred years, and his armament domineering is so strong. Li Yuan has no doubt whether Im can develop into a domineering body, because Im has a unique advantage in this regard.

The battle between Li Yuan and Yi Mu was more intense than before. Every collision between fists and swords was like the explosion of a dynamite rock that was amplified a hundred times.

If the two of them had not fought at an altitude of ten thousand meters, all the countries on the Red Soil Continent would probably have been destroyed, and the Red Soil Continent might even have been broken apart.

"It feels so good. It feels so good. Come again, come again!"

Li Yuan felt extremely excited in the battle with Yim. Every time he swung his sword, he felt so refreshed. Even when he was injured, he was still happy!
In the Pirate Alliance's logistics department not far from the Marijoa battlefield, many doctors were trying to save the seriously injured and dying Golden Lion. After more than ten minutes of rescue, Golden Lion finally woke up from his coma.

However, the Golden Lion's brain had already been severely damaged, and his body was in great pain. Even the numerous painkillers could not completely stop the severe pain.

"Damn it, how could I lose? I am the king of the world!"

When the Golden Lion woke up, he still refused to admit defeat. He had finally come this far, and the throne of the king of the world was right in front of him, but he did not have the ability to sit on it. He did not expect that he would be defeated, and defeated so thoroughly!

"Captain, you are seriously injured now and cannot get up yet!"

Seeing that Golden Lion wanted to get up, the doctor said very worriedly.

"Get out of the way, I haven't lost yet, I can still keep fighting!"

Golden Lion snorted coldly, and his body floated up and flew directly out of the infirmary.

However, when he came outside and lost the defense base, the majestic aftermath of the collision at an altitude of ten thousand meters instantly shook the flying golden lion to the ground.
"what!!!!"

The wounds all over his body burst open again, and the intense pain made Golden Lion couldn't help but scream loudly. It was too painful. Even though his consciousness was very strong, the pain was really painful!
"That's Li Yuan and Yi Mu."

However, even at this moment of severe pain, his eyes were still fixed on the sky, watching the aftermath of the violent collision in the sky sweeping in like a tide again and again, his heart filled with bitterness and a sense of defeat.

He didn't expect that Li Yuan and Yim were so strong. Even his last crazy move, in today's view, was not as powerful as a collision with the opponent.

The power displayed by Li Yuan and Yim now far exceeds his own. Even if he were in his prime, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from the other side!
This kind of frustration was simply the first time he had ever encountered it in his life.

Even though he was suppressed by Rocks at the beginning, Golden Lion was still full of confidence in himself, because he believed that as long as he grew up completely, he could defeat even Rocks.

Now, he has grown to the peak and there is no room for improvement, but facing Yi Mu and Li Yuan at this moment, he has no confidence at all that he can defeat them!

"captain!!!"

When the pirates from the logistics department saw Golden Lion lying on the ground bleeding, they immediately rushed over and carried Golden Lion back to the base.

At this time, the Golden Lion did not continue to refuse the crew's transportation, because he knew that he was really defeated, and defeated completely.

After all, strength is what is respected in this world. If his strength cannot match that of Li Yuan and Yim, then he will have no chance of becoming the king of the world.

If their time difference was not too big, Golden Lion would still have the confidence to catch up, but the gap between them was too big, so big that even if Golden Lion was twice or three times stronger than it is now, he would not be able to catch up. This gap made Golden Lion feel despair for the first time, and he could not see any hope of catching up with the opponent!

"Li Yuan, is this the reason why you never competed with me? It turns out that you have always been giving in to me, or you have always been confident of winning and never worried about losing!"

When he was carried back to the infirmary bed for the doctor's surgery, Golden Lion couldn't help but think of Li Yuan's various behaviors towards him over the years.

The whole world has always known that the Wuji Pirates and the Hiku Pirates are the two strongest pirate groups. Both are legendary pirate groups, and their status is equal, with neither being stronger than the other.

But today's world war allowed Golden Lion to see that the overall strength of the Wuji Pirates is at least twice as strong as that of the Feikong Pirates.

And Li Yuan's strength had long surpassed that of Golden Lion, and it was a crushing victory.

But Li Yuan had never shown these before, just to be able to bring the Flying Pirates and all the pirate groups together to fight against the World Government.

Now, the world war has begun, and all the pirate groups are tied together, and have reached a point where there is no point of retreat.

Now the Wuji Pirates and Li Yuan have demonstrated their absolutely overwhelming strength. If Li Yuan continues to defeat Im and the Pirate Alliance defeats the World Government, then this world will belong to Li Yuan. No one can object to this. Anyone who dares to object will be liquidated by Li Yuan. No one can think that they can survive under Li Yuan's sword!

"Li Yuan, ever since I met you, I knew you were very calculating, but I didn't expect you to hide it so well and have the whole world figured out by you!"

"However, I, the Golden Lion, am not someone who cannot afford to lose. As long as you can defeat Im, then I don't mind giving you the power to rule this world!"

After figuring out some things, Golden Lion let go of some of his feelings. After all, he was no match for the opponent in strength and he really lost. But he, Golden Lion, was not someone who could not afford to lose, so he would naturally admit his defeat!

But it is not an easy task for Li Yuan to truly defeat Im, not to mention that the World Government also controls ancient weapons, and the outcome is still unknown.

He also knew that Li Yuan must be hiding some ancient weapons to deal with the World Government. After all, he knew Li Yuan very well and never did anything without certainty. Since Li Yuan knew that the World Government possessed ancient weapons, he must have a way to deal with it!

"Heal my injury quickly!!"

Thinking of this, Golden Lion hurriedly urged the doctor who was performing the operation on him. The world war was not over yet, how could he, Golden Lion, be absent!

Even though he had decided not to be the king of the world anymore, he would never allow himself to spend this war lying in the infirmary!
Because he knew clearly that once the world government collapsed, or when Im was about to be defeated, the ancient weapon would definitely be aimed at Mary Geoise. He needed to heal his injuries before that, and then take all his subordinates away before the ancient weapon fell!
"Yes, Captain!"

Seeing that the captain cooperated so well with his surgery, the doctor immediately sped up the operation.
