Frenzied Harvest

Chapter 47: Frenzied Harvest

"Is this Rocks's power? No wonder he's called the World's Strongest man. He really is strong!!"

This was Li Yuan's first time witnessing Rocks's power, and also the first time he had seen the pinnacle combat power of this world so clearly. It was simply overwhelming!!

One man against three Admiral-level experts!

Although, among those three Admiral-level experts, only Steel-Bone Kong was truly strong, while the other two were considerably weaker than him, such a record was still utterly shocking!

Great Buddha Impact!!

While Rocks fought the three Admiral-level experts, Sengoku and the others had also charged ashore. With a raised hand, he unleashed a terrifying shockwave.

"Gurarararara, Sengoku, let me play with you."

Air Quake.

Seeing Sengoku charging over, Whitebeard rushed forward as well, using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's vibration power to smash into the shockwave and completely disperse it.

"Garp, take my sword!!"

Mad Lion Slash!!

Golden Lion had fought Garp before, so when Garp charged in, he immediately chose him as his opponent.

"Zephyr, die for me!"

Charlotte Linlin sought out Black Arm Zephyr for a fight.

The Marines knew the veteran officers of the Rocks Pirates very well. At the first opportunity, they dispatched some of their strongest Vice Admirals to intercept those officers.

Yet Li Yuan, a newly joined officer, had been overlooked.

Many pirates had spread the rumor that Li Yuan had only become an officer by exploiting a loophole, and that he could merely hold out for one day against John in aerial combat, where John was not skilled.

As a result, the Marines did not pay much attention to Li Yuan and merely sent an ordinary Vice Admiral, Skina, to intercept him.

"So I really have been underestimated. But that works out nicely. Using the head of a Vice Admiral like you to establish my reputation isn't bad at all."

Li Yuan's battle intent soared. Back when he had first set sail, fighters at the Vice Admiral level had been synonymous with invincibility to him.

But in less than half a year, ordinary Vice Admiral-level combatants no longer mattered to him.

"You're spewing nonsense. Today, I'll thoroughly kill you, a Rocks Pirates Officer who hasn't even fully grown yet."

Soru!!

Finger Gun: Rapid Fire!!

As Skina spoke, he immediately rushed forward. Black Armament Haki covered two fingers as they shot rapidly toward Li Yuan's throat and heart.

Soru!!!

Watching Skina's machine-gun-like assault approach, Li Yuan likewise used Soru to evade Skina's attack.

Limitless: Void-Breaking Sword Art

At the same time, the Longsword in its sheath instantly left its scabbard, slashing out a sharp strike a hundred meters long at extreme speed.

Armament: Tekkai: Steel!!

Li Yuan's slash was far too fast. It was so fast that although Skina's Observation Haki detected the incoming strike, his body could not react in time. Unable to dodge, he could only take it head-on.

Crack!!!

Splat!!!

The incomparably sharp slash directly tore through Skina's Armament Haki, cutting deep into the bone and sending him flying in an instant.

After only one exchange, Skina had fallen into a disadvantage because he had misjudged Li Yuan's strength.

"Your speed is too slow, and your use of Soru isn't refined enough!!"

The instant Skina was sent flying, Li Yuan closed in. Before Skina could even land, Li Yuan had already chased after him with sword in hand, giving him no chance to react.

Geppo!!

Skina endured the pain wracking his body and used Geppo to steady himself in midair.

Slash!!!

Yet just as Skina stabilized himself, Li Yuan's Zanfeng Sword, now transformed into a black blade, had already reached his face.

Boom!!!

Skina instinctively raised both Armament Haki-coated hands in front of himself, only to be sent flying once more by Li Yuan's sword.

Having fallen behind from the start, Skina was completely led around by Li Yuan for the rest of the battle. Before Li Yuan, Skina had very few chances even to strike back.

If not for Skina's years of combat experience and his Armament Haki supporting him, Li Yuan would likely have already taken his head with a single slash.

"Marine, didn't you say earlier that you were going to get rid of me? Why are you hiding like a turtle now?!"

Even as Li Yuan attacked relentlessly, he did not forget to taunt Skina.

Skina had now been completely forced into passive defense, with no ability to fight back at all.

One careless move would leave him seriously wounded by Li Yuan's blade. Even when facing Li Yuan's mockery, he did not have the spare breath to retort.

In just a few minutes, large and small sword wounds had nearly covered Skina's entire body. Blood streamed down him until his whole pair of trousers had turned crimson.

"Damn it, I'm no match for him. Run!"

Seeing his injuries grow increasingly severe and realizing he was no match for Li Yuan at all, Skina did not hesitate. After forcing Li Yuan back, he fled toward the Warship behind him.

Running when defeated was not difficult for Skina. Desperately fighting to the death and then dying would be the truly foolish thing to do.

"Trying to run? Did you ask me first, Marine?"

Seeing Skina attempt to flee, Li Yuan smiled coldly.

Three-Stage Soru!!

The next moment, Li Yuan used Soru three times in succession. His extreme speed instantly broke through the sound barrier, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Skina.

Limitless: Flowing Light Starfall Pierce!!!

When Li Yuan's speed reached its peak, he thrust out his sword. It was like a meteor streaking across the night sky, so fast that no one could match it.

"Block it for me!!!"

As the crisis of death descended, Skina screamed wildly from the depths of his heart. His body instinctively covered itself in Armament Haki, and he raised both hands before him.

A streak of flowing light flashed past, as though that light had pierced through the restraints of space itself. Even the stars above the night sky would fall beneath this sword.

Sshhk!!!

Skina's hands were pierced by the Longsword, its tip emerging from the back of his neck as the Sword Body completely passed through his throat.

Splat!!!

Blood burst from Skina's throat. His eyes remained fixed on Li Yuan, unwilling to close even in death.

"I said I would use your death to establish my reputation. You can consider your death worthwhile."

Li Yuan pulled out his Longsword and spoke to the already dead Skina.

Kill!!!

Killing Skina did not satisfy Li Yuan. With no Marines coming to intercept him, he charged into the crowded battlefield.

With a casual swing, he sent out a fifty-meter-long slash, instantly killing a Rear Admiral who had been fighting a Rocks Pirates Lieutenant Captain.

Then, like no one could stop him, Li Yuan continued harvesting Marine lives across the battlefield with the sword in his hand.
