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

Chapter 51 Owing a favor

[Let’s forget about the name change. Let’s just call him Li Yuan. I think this name sounds good.]

He analyzed Li Yuan's information, and according to what Zhikai said, Li Yuan's swordsmanship was very strong, but his physique and domineering aura were not strong, which meant that he was easier to target than other Rocks Pirates cadres.

"Marshal, once Li Yuan leaves the Rocks Pirates, I will personally capture him."

Gang Gukong said that with his strength, it would be very easy for him to capture Li Yuan. After all, he was a man who could even withstand Rocks' attack.

"Okay, Kong, I'll leave it to you. Make sure you catch him back."

"Next, the bounty on the Rocks Pirates. The World Government requires us to increase the bounty."

"Rocks D. Gibeck, captain of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 35 billion berries, he is guilty of a heinous crime, he deserves death or life."

"John, a member of the Rocks Pirates, has a bounty of 16 billion Baileys. He is guilty of a heinous crime and his life or death is at stake."

"Silver Axe, a member of the Rocks Pirates, has a bounty of 16 billion berries. He is guilty of a heinous crime and his life or death is at stake."

"Wang Zhi, a cadre of the Rocks Pirates, has a bounty of 16 billion berries. He is guilty of a heinous crime and his life or death is at stake."

"Kurozumi Murasaki, a cadre of the Rocks Pirates, is the user of the Mimic Fruit, with a bounty of 5 million Baileys. He is guilty of a heinous crime, and his life or death is at stake."

"Kurozumi Chanmaru, a cadre of the Rocks Pirates, is the user of the Barrier Fruit. His bounty is 5 million. He is guilty of a heinous crime and his life or death is not a matter of concern."

"Whitebeard Edward Newgate, a member of the Rocks Pirates, is the user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. His bounty is 18 billion berries. He is guilty of a heinous crime and his life or death is at stake."

"Shiki the Golden Lion, a leader of the Rocks Pirates, a great swordsman, with a bounty of 18 billion berries. He is guilty of a heinous crime and his life or death is at stake."

"Charlotte Linlin, a member of the Rocks Pirates, is the user of the Soul-Soul Fruit. Her bounty is 18 billion Baileys. She is guilty of a heinous crime and her life or death is at stake."

"Li Yuan, a member of the Rocks Pirates, a swordsman, has a bounty of 16 billion Baileys. He is guilty of a heinous crime and his life or death is at stake."

"Kaidou, a trainee of the Rocks Pirates, has a bounty of 3 million Baileys. He is guilty of a heinous crime and his life or death is at stake."

After the reward was set, it was distributed to the whole world in the shortest possible time.

Roger Pirates:
"The Rocks Pirates are so strong that they completely defeated the navy."

Rayleigh sighed as he looked at the newspaper in his hand.

"The Rocks Pirates are indeed very strong, but their actions are too overbearing, brutal, and ruthless. They have plundered so many kingdoms, and I don't know how many people have died. They have even made the sea violent and many pirates have lost their freedom."

The more Roger looked at the Rocks Pirates, the more he disliked them, but he could do nothing about it and could only hide.

"Forget it, let's not care about the Rocks Pirates anymore, let's have a party and have some fun!"

Then, Roger threw the newspaper away and started the party on the spot.

"Wow, the captain is so wise!!!"

“Wahahahaha, we’re back to Beehive Island, it’s time for the party!!”

When the Rocks Pirates returned to Beehive Island, Rocks laughed loudly, very excitedly.

"Long live the captain!!"

“Have a party!!!”

"Hahaha, there's wine to drink again!!"

"."

After returning to the base camp, many members of the Rocks Pirates cheered. Aren't the things that pirates love most money, beauties, power, strength and banquets? No pirate would refuse a banquet. "Gulala, Li Yuan, I heard that you defeated the former admiral Jikai. It seems that you have made great progress in the past three months!!"

When the banquet started, the guy with white beard came to Li Yuan again to drink, and in order to avoid appearing embarrassed, he said something nice.

"It seems like that guy lost to me on purpose."

Li Yuan drank a bottle of wine and then spoke.

"Hahahahaha, that guy probably wanted to continue his retirement, so he lost to you on purpose."

At this time, the golden lion also came over with the rescue.

"Shiki, I heard that when you fought against Garp, you broke through to become a great swordsman?"

Li Yuan asked curiously. He had received Shi Ji's slash before, and he was sure that he was definitely not a great swordsman before.

“Hahahahaha, Garp’s fist is really hard. If I don’t break through and become a great swordsman, I might not be able to cut his fist in half.”

The golden lion laughed triumphantly.

There is a huge watershed between the Great Swordsman and the Swordsman. It can be said that the attack power of the Great Swordsman is almost equivalent to that of a general-level strongman.

Now Golden Lion has broken through to become a great swordsman, and his strength is completely at the level of a general.

Moreover, a great swordsman like Golden Lion is not just an old swordsman who is old enough to retire. He is a great swordsman who is at the peak of his powers, and that is extremely terrifying.

It can be said that great swordsmen are really rare on the sea, because the threshold to become a great swordsman is too high, which almost traps 99% of the swordsmen.

Even in the original work, there are not many great swordsmen.

"Shiqi, when can we have the sparring match?"

After confirming that Shi Ji had become a great swordsman, Li Yuan wanted to spar with Shi Ji even more.

After all, a strong man at the level of a great swordsman is very rare, and he also wants to use Shi Ji's sword intent to help him break through to the level of a great swordsman.

Once he reaches the level of a great swordsman, his strength will once again experience a rapid leap forward.

“Hahahaha, Li Yuan, if it was before I broke through, it would be fine for me to agree to you, but now, if I spar with you, I’ll just be your sparring partner, it’s boring.”

The golden lion said proudly.

With his current strength, defeating Li Yuan would take almost no effort. After all, the gap between a general and a general candidate is still very large.

Since he couldn't kill, Shiki the Golden Lion didn't want to spar with Li Yuan. If he had to spar, he would spar with Whitebeard. It would be interesting to spar when the two were of similar strength.

"Shiki, how about you spar with me six times, once every ten days, and I'll owe you a favor?"

Li Yuan also knew that his request was a bit excessive. For people who were stronger than himself, his request was indeed not good. After all, the strong are respected, and the weak must have the awareness of the weak.

"Oh? No problem!!"

Hearing what Li Yuan said, Golden Lion became interested. Although Li Yuan's strength was temporarily lagging behind, his potential was very great. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately made friends with Li Yuan before.

If he could make Li Yuan owe him a favor now, he could use it to get ten or even a hundred times the return in the future. What's more, he also needed a sparring partner to adapt to his level of strength as a great swordsman.

　I feel that the name Li Yuan sounds better, so I changed my name back to the one I changed before.

　　And I will use this name from now on and will not change it.
