Crazy Reaping

"Is this Rocks's power? No wonder he was 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 so clearly seen the pinnacle of combat strength in this world. It was overwhelmingly powerful!!

One man against three Admiral-level experts!

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

"Great Buddha Impact!!"

While Rocks fought the three Admiral-level experts, Sengoku and the others also rushed onto the shore. With a raised hand, he unleashed a terrifying shockwave.

"Gurarararara, Sengoku, let me have some fun with you."

"Air Quake."

Seeing Sengoku charge over, Whitebeard rushed forward as well, using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power to shatter the shockwave completely.

"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, come die!."

Charlotte Linlin sought out Black Arm Zephyr for battle.

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

But Li Yuan, the newly joined officer, was overlooked.

After all, many pirates had spread word that Li Yuan had only become an officer by exploiting a loophole, and that he could merely hold out for a day against John in the aerial combat John did not excel at.

As a result, the Navy 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 too. Using your Vice Admiral's head to establish my reputation isn't bad at all."

Li Yuan said with surging battle intent. When he had first gone to sea, a Vice Admiral had been synonymous with an opponent he could never defeat.

Yet in less than half a year, ordinary Vice Admiral-level strength was no longer worth his attention.

"You sure know how to brag. Today, I'll completely kill you, a Rocks Pirates Officer who has yet to mature."

"Soru!!"

"Finger Gun: Rapid Fire!!"

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

"Soru!!!"

Watching Skina's machine-gun-like assault descend, 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, hundred-meter-long sword strike at extreme speed.

"Armament: Tekkai: Steel!!"

Li Yuan's slash was far too fast. Even though Skina's Observation Haki sensed 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 broke through Skina's Armament Haki, cutting deep into the bone and instantly sending him flying.

After just 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 flew back, Li Yuan pressed forward. Before Skina could even land, he was already chasing after him with sword in hand, giving him no chance to react.

"Geppo!!"

Skina endured the pain throughout his body and used Geppo to stabilize himself as he flew backward.

"Slash!!!"

However, just as Skina stabilized himself, Li Yuan's Zanfeng Sword, now transformed into a black blade, had already swung down before his face.

"Boom!!!"

Skina instinctively raised his Armament Haki-covered hands before himself, only to be sent flying again by Li Yuan's sword.

Having fallen behind from the start, Skina's combat rhythm was completely led by Li Yuan for the rest of the battle. Before Li Yuan, Skina barely even had a chance to fight back.

If not for Skina's many years of combat experience and his Armament Haki supporting him, Li Yuan would likely have beheaded him with a single strike long ago.

"Navy man, didn't you say earlier that you wanted to get rid of me? Why are you hiding like a turtle now!"

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

Skina had now completely fallen into passive defense, with no ability to retaliate whatsoever.

With the slightest carelessness, Li Yuan would cut him down and seriously wound him. Even when faced with Li Yuan's mockery, he had no spare breath to refute him.

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

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

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

Retreating when outmatched was nothing difficult for Skina. Fighting desperately to the death and then dying was the most foolish thing one could do.

"Trying to run? Did you ask me, Navy man!"

Seeing Skina trying to flee, Li Yuan smiled coldly.

"Three-Stage Soru!!"

The next instant, Li Yuan used Soru three times in succession. His extreme speed instantly broke the sound barrier, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before Skina.

"Limitless: Flowing Light Starfall Pierce!!!"

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

"Block it for me!!!"

As the threat of death descended, Skina screamed frantically in the depths of his heart. His body instinctively covered itself entirely in Armament Haki as he raised both hands before him.

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

"Pssh!!!"

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

"Splat!!!"

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

"I told you I'd use your death to establish my reputation. You can be considered to have died for a worthy cause."

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

"Kill!!!"

Killing Skina did not satisfy Li Yuan. With no Navy soldiers coming to intercept him, he charged into the densely packed battlefield.

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

Then, like a man entering an uninhabited land, Li Yuan continuously harvested Navy lives across the battlefield with the sword in his hand.
