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

Chapter 78: The pressure from Li Yuan on John



After Shiki the Golden Lion was promoted to a great swordsman, his strength soared. He had always been suppressed by Whitebeard before, and now he wants to get back at Whitebeard.

It's a pity that even though Golden Lion's strength has greatly improved, he still can't beat Whitebeard.

After all, Whitebeard's strength is also constantly improving, and he is not standing still waiting for Golden Lion to catch up.

"What?"

"Hahahahahaha, Li Yuan is such a talented swordsman. I didn't expect that he would become

a great swordsman after such a short time away from home."

"After I come back, I must learn from him what his sword intention is like."

After seeing Li Yuan's message, Golden Lion burst into laughter.

"I said, what about my previous suggestions?"

"How about you, me, and Li Yuan to challenge Rocks?"

As its strength continues to grow rapidly, the Golden Lion's ambitions are also growing.

He didn't want to continue working under Rocks, and he also wanted to form his own pirate group and be the captain himself.

But he couldn't beat Rocks, so he thought about joining forces with Whitebeard and Li Yuan to challenge Rocks.

On the one hand, I want to see with my own eyes the gap in strength between me and Rocks.

On the other hand, if they succeed in the challenge, or if Rocks cannot crush them, they will quit the Rocks Pirates.

After all, they are all monsters, and they believe that they will not be weaker than Rocks in the future.

What they lack is just time. Once they grow up fully, they will be able to reach the strength of Rocks.

"Let's talk about it after Li Yuan comes back. We are not strong enough now!"

Whitebeard did not reject Golden Lion's proposal. After all, he didn't want to stay in the Rocks Pirates anymore.

But Rocks' strength was obvious to all, and even Whitebeard didn't think he could survive Rocks' hands.

"Hahahaha, it's settled then. When we become stronger in the future, we'll bring Li Yuan along to give it a try."

Golden Lion felt relieved when he heard Whitebeard say this.

He just didn't believe it. If they couldn't win in a one-on-one fight, how could they not be able to tie if three against one?

"Wang Zhi, Li Yuan has become a great swordsman now. Maybe he will surpass you soon."

John didn't even taste the wine. Instead, he took out Li Yuan's newspaper and handed it to Wang Zhi.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Zhi stared at John and said.

"What he meant was that the three of us are old and will soon be surpassed by newcomers." Silver Axe continued.

"Our current strength will reach its peak in a few years, and it will be almost impossible to continue to improve in this way."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

John continued.

"You mean, you want to use the devil fruit to increase our strength?"

Wang Zhi finally understood what John meant.

None of the three of them have the ability of a devil fruit, and it is difficult for them to improve their physical strength and domineering. Only the devil fruit can quickly improve their strength.

If it were in the past, they would definitely not eat it, because they could still clearly feel that their strength could continue to improve.

But as he gets older, his strength improvement is very slow, or is about to stop.

Coupled with the continuous rise of new cadres such as Li Yuan, their previous desire not to eat devil fruits gradually faded.

In the new world, strength is everything. Once your strength lags behind, it means death.

So now after John's words, they all wanted to eat devil fruits to improve their strength. "Devil fruits can improve our strength, but do you have a devil fruit that suits you?"

Silver Axe asked.

It is very difficult to find a powerful devil fruit that suits you. In any case, Silver Axe has never encountered one in all these years.

"Of course. Now that I've said it, there's a way to get it."

"I've seen Captain Rocks' collection, and there are devil fruits suitable for us in it. As long as we go to Captain Rocks and pay some price, he shouldn't be stingy."

John laughed.

In fact, this news was originally passed to John by Rocks, and then John passed it to Silver Axe and Wang Zhi.

The problem of disunity among the officers of the Rocks Pirates was deliberately created by Rocks.

Keeping the cadres hostile to each other and then maintaining a balance in the hostility will help Rocks control the pirate group.

But now, with the rise of Li Yuan, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Charlotte Linling, John, Silver Axe, and Wang Zhi were gradually suppressed.

So Rocks had to think about increasing the strength of John and others, and then continue to

right the balance.

"What devil fruit?"

Wang Zhi asked curiously.

"Paradox-Speed Fruit, Parahuman-Speed Fruit, Parahuman-Strength Fruit!!"

John smiled mysteriously.

"They are actually two top-level parahuman devil fruits!!"

After Wang Zhi and Yin Fu heard about these two devil fruits, they said with great desire.

The Speed Fruit can increase the user's movement speed, reaction speed, attack speed, etc., which is very suitable for a mad swordsman like Wang Zhi.

The Power Fruit can enhance the user's physical strength, endurance, etc., and is very suitable for Silver Axe, who has natural supernatural powers.

There was another devil fruit that John didn't mention, because that devil fruit was the one he

wanted.

Human-Human Fruit-Mythical Beast Devil Form!!

This is the devil fruit he wanted, and it is also the devil fruit that Rocks promised to give him.

Now that the Rocks Pirates have become the overlord of the New World, it has become much easier for them to collect devil fruits than before.

Especially in those kingdoms with a long history, there are always some precious devil fruits hidden, which were then plundered by Rocks.

This caused Rocks' treasury to increase dramatically in a short period of time.

Li Yuan fell asleep after being injured by Kong and slept for a whole day and night before

waking up.

When he woke up, what he saw was Yadina taking good care of him and wiping his body.

"Yeah, you're awake!"

When Yadina saw Li Yuan open his eyes and looking at her, her face suddenly turned red and

she became a little flustered.

At this time, Yadina changed into a pair of short shorts and white stockings.

He was wearing the black leather tights that he and Xia Qi had bought together, and he had

black rabbit ears on his head.

This kind of scene gave Li Yuan a feast for the eyes as soon as he woke up.

"Of course I'm awake. You've worked hard to take care of me. Now it's my turn to take care of

you."

As he spoke, Li Yuan ignored the bandages on his body and tore them all off, revealing a body

of strong muscles.

The injuries on his body had already completely healed while he was sleeping.
