One Piece:Becoming the King of the World from the Rocks Era

"Send a message to Holmans to investigate who killed Genos," Steel Bone Kong said, regaining the authoritative demeanor of an Admiral after calming down.

"Yes, Admiral Kong!" The relevant marine quickly relayed Steel Bone Kong's orders.

"Damn the Rocks Pirates, one day I'll bring you all back to Impel Down!" Looking at the intelligence reports, most of which were about the Rocks Pirates, Steel Bone Kong's recently subdued anger nearly erupted again.

Sailing on the sea, the initial excitement made the ocean seem beautiful—a vast blue expanse, the sun shining brightly, lounging under a parasol in comfort and ease.

But as time passed, it became monotonous, leading to a visual fatigue of the ocean, a sentiment shared by many disciples.

However, Li Yuan did not feel this way. After the initial excitement, he began reflecting on his battle with Marine Rear Admiral Genos and the gains from it.

The biggest gain was the awakening of Armament Haki, which, along with its awakening, enhanced his physique. The body and Armament Haki complement each other.

With Armament Haki, both his offensive and defensive capabilities improved significantly.

"With Armament Haki awakened, I can start training the fourth layer of the [Sword God Body Refinement Technique]!"

This was what Li Yuan was most concerned about. In the world of pirates, Armament Haki can refine the body, but the methods are usually crude, or unteachable, relying on personal mastery and talent.

Some people specialize in using Haki to temper their bones, Steel Bone Kong being a typical example.

As for Garp, while refining his body with Haki, he focuses on tempering his fists, earning the nickname Iron Fist Garp.

Zefa, similar to Garp, tempers his arms with Haki, earning the title Black Arm Admiral.

Li Yuan's [Sword God Body Refinement Technique] includes methods for refining all parts of the body and is more efficient than the refinement methods in the pirate world.

This is because his Haki refinement follows a special path through many acupuncture points, akin to the body refining techniques in martial arts novels, providing a comprehensive way to refine the body.

The fourth layer refines the skin, the fifth layer the muscles, the sixth layer the tendons, the seventh layer the bone marrow, the eighth layer the internal organs, and the ninth layer the blood.

As for the contents beyond the ninth layer, he cannot see them yet.

Compared to the Haki body refinement methods in the pirate world, one uses a body refining technique for training, while the other uses the most primitive methods, making Li Yuan's body refinement efficiency much higher than others.

Even powerful body technique users like Garp and Steel Bone mainly focus on refining a part of the body, with secondary focus on the whole body to increase physical strength.

This situation arises mainly because the efficiency of Haki body refinement is very slow and requires time to accumulate.

Even body technique monsters like Garp and Steel Bone can only abandon comprehensive refinement in favor of focusing on a specific part of the body.

They simply don't have the time, or their lifespan of merely a century is insufficient to support full body refinement.

But Li Yuan, with vampire blood, has more vitality and lifespan than ordinary people.

Even though he is not a pureblood vampire, mixed-blood vampires typically have a lifespan of about 120 years.

And pureblood vampires generally have a lifespan of 150 to 200 years.

With the innate talent of vampires and the [Sword God Body Refinement Technique] offering a more efficient Haki body refinement than the pirate world, he has the qualifications and the ability to refine all parts of his body with Haki.

"The [Sword God Body Refinement Technique] Haki refinement—the higher the quality and quantity of Haki, the faster and better the refinement efficiency."

"According to Genos, my Haki quality is inherently higher and more abundant than others. This is a bodily talent, much like Barrett in the original work, who possesses vast amounts of Haki."

Li Yuan couldn't help but think of his Haki talent and the special gains it brought.

"The quickest shortcut to enhancing the quality of Haki is to continuously use Armament Haki in battles."

"In one battle after another, let the Haki released be shattered and worn down, leaving a trace of pure Haki to return to the body."

"Repeat this cycle until all the Haki in the body is purified, raising the overall quality of Haki."

"I can also, like Garp, continuously expend Haki by striking mountains to refine it."

Li Yuan then thought of methods to enhance Haki quality, realizing he could use both approaches in the future.

"Senior Brother, here are the latest bounty posters from the sea."

Lazuli, seeing Li Yuan gazing alone at the sea, brought over a stack of bounty posters to him.

They had been at sea for two days without encountering any pirates, and their destination was still three days away.

"Oh? A bounty poster? And it's mine!"

Li Yuan noticed the top poster in the stack was his bounty.

"Pirate Li Yuan, for murdering Marine Rear Admiral Genos and over a hundred marines, is heinous and carries a bounty of 110 million Berries, dead or alive!"

"The Marines are quite efficient. It seems Genos left a life card with the Marines. Once they detected its disappearance, they investigated the situation, which is why they were able to confirm my identity and issue a bounty so quickly."

Li Yuan surmised what had happened behind the scenes after seeing his bounty poster.

"These are all bounty posters for the Rocks Pirates!"

Below Li Yuan's bounty, the stack contained posters for members of the Rocks Pirates.

In the current New World sea, the Rocks Pirates were the strongest, marking the era known as the Rocks Era.

Thus, most of the major pirates in the New World were gathered under the Rocks Pirates.
