"Golden Lion Shiki, officer of the Rocks Pirates, a swordsman, bounty of 1.44 billion Berries, extremely dangerous, dead or alive."
"Charlotte Linlin, officer of the Rocks Pirates, user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, bounty of 1.55 billion Berries, extremely dangerous, dead or alive."
"Kaido, intern of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 210 million Berries, extremely dangerous, dead or alive."
Beyond these, there were other bounties for members of the Rocks Pirates.
Li Yuan merely glanced at them, recognizing familiar names of those who would later become legendary pirates. At this time, members of the Rocks Pirates hadn't reached their peak, with plenty of room for growth, including Rocks himself.
"Interesting, Golden Lion Shiki isn't a Devil Fruit user yet. It seems he hasn't obtained the Float-Float Fruit," Li Yuan noted an anomaly when he saw Shiki's bounty.
"Senior Brother, since we've set sail as pirates, shouldn't we have a name, like a name for our pirate crew?" Lazuli asked.
"A name, huh?" At that moment, Li Yuan thought of his ideal: to rule the world with an iron fist and enjoy the company of beauties.
"How about the 'Limitless Pirates'? With the Limitless Sword in my hand, I'll slay all enemies, even gods will fall beneath my blade!" A flash of inspiration struck Li Yuan with the perfect name.
"The Limitless Pirates? Only Senior Brother could be worthy of such a name," Lazuli said admiringly. Limitless Sword God, the god among swordsmen, the divine wielder of the sword—this was Li Yuan.
In Lazuli's eyes, Li Yuan was the Sword God incarnate, the foremost swordsman in the world.
"Whoosh! Bam! Bam! Bam!"
Just as Li Yuan wanted to continue looking at the bounties, the once clear sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, pouring heavy rain, and fist-sized hail began to fall.
"Senior Brother, we've encountered the legendary volatile weather of the New World," Lazuli noted, experiencing for the first time the unpredictable weather akin to a woman's changing mood.
"Full speed ahead! Get out of this area as quickly as possible!" Li Yuan, unfamiliar with navigation, relied on the ship's amateur navigator from the island.
They could steer and follow the compass but couldn't handle such extreme weather.
Although Li Yuan didn't know navigation, he knew that this sea was full of such weather, and escaping the area was the solution.
"Helmsman, control the ship's direction! Everyone else, drive the ship with all your might!"
This warship not only relied on wind power but also had a manpower-driven system, essentially rowing with human power.
With Li Yuan's command, nearly everyone began rowing to increase the ship's speed.
"My god, what is that?" Suddenly, Kano felt a chill run down his spine.
Looking up, he saw a massive chunk of ice, three times the size of their ship, descending rapidly from the sky.
The oppressive feeling, like Mount Tai crushing down, was more terrifying than any Conqueror's Haki he had felt before. The direct fear was overwhelming.
"Moonwalk!"
As Kano looked up, Li Yuan was already stepping into the sky, unfazed by the massive falling ice sculpture.
As Li Yuan ascended, the rhythm of the ocean moved at his command, with an invisible sea aura gathering within his sword sheath.
The surrounding howling winds and waves seemed to celebrate him, hailing him as the king of ocean waves.
"Ocean Abyss: Wave Sword Draw!"
As Li Yuan's sword left its sheath, a terrifying aura of the ocean appeared behind him—a massive, hundreds-of-meters-high wave crashing down.
It seemed to form an unfathomable ocean abyss behind Li Yuan, swallowing countless waters, impervious to any splash, as if the entire sea was consumed by this invincible abyss.
With one sword drawn, a slash over a hundred meters long, light blue like the surging waves, mercilessly struck the descending ice block.
"Crack!!!"
The massive ice block split in two under the wave-like slash, with the powerful sword energy dispersing it to the sides, sparing the ship below.
"Boom!!!!"
"Whoosh!!!"
The split ice block crashed down on either side of the ship, with massive waves rolling up, sending a deluge of seawater over the ship and its crew.
But no one complained about being drenched by the seawater. Instead, they were filled with awe and excitement.
Faced with such a colossal natural disaster, they thought they might meet their end under the massive ice block upon setting sail.
Yet they didn't expect Li Yuan, soaring above, to be so powerful, capable of slicing the massive ice block with his sword!
"Full speed ahead! Let's get out of this chaotic sea area!"
Li Yuan returned to the ship, commanding loudly.
"Yes!!!"
With renewed vigor, fueled by Li Yuan's god-like presence, the crew shouted excitedly.
With Li Yuan's powerful presence guarding them, no harsh weather in this sea could hinder their journey.
Falling icebergs would be cleaved apart, surging waves met the same fate, and the ship's path was where Li Yuan's sword pointed, cutting through all obstacles!
Li Yuan's sword techniques now primarily consisted of two forms: Limitless Sword and Ocean Abyss.
The Limitless Sword was based on his Limitless Swordsmanship, combined with memories from his past life and current world swordsmanship, forming a key part of his swordsmanship.
