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

Chapter 21: World Government CP

"Get out of the way and don't get yourself killed. Leave these guys to me." 

Li Yuan's gaze was sharp as he stared at the CP members rushing from behind. 

Seeing this, Xia Qi quickly followed Li Yuan's instructions. 

There was no ship at this port; Li Yuan's junior brothers had sailed away with their ship. The Leopard Pirate Crew's ship had been destroyed by Li Yuan, so Xia Qi couldn't escape quickly unless she jumped into the sea. 

"We are with the World Government. Daring to harbor a member of the Rocks Pirates is akin to opposing the World Government!" 

The man in the tiger mask coldly warned as he saw Li Yuan siding with Xia Qi. He hoped Li Yuan would know when to back down and not get involved, thus saving them trouble and reducing unnecessary variables. 

"Foolish. Since I've already become a pirate, do you think I'd still fear the World Government?" 

"Don't you know that villains often die because they talk too much?" 

Li Yuan's gaze emitted a cold light, and his entire being exuded a murderous aura and Conqueror's Haki. 

The entire port felt like a calm sea suddenly struck by a massive meteorite, as a violent wave of Conqueror's Haki surged forward from where Li Yuan stood. 

Like a giant stone creating a thousand ripples, the tsunami of Conqueror's Haki engulfed all the incoming CP members. 

The sudden terrifying pressure dealt a heavy blow to the CP members. 

Even though they had undergone rigorous training from the World Government, they still couldn't withstand this immense pressure that seemed to come from the heavens. 

They halted their charge, falling to their knees as they struggled against the oppressive force of the Conqueror's Haki on their spirits. 

In less than three seconds, more than half of the CP members had fainted, unable to withstand the impact of the Conqueror's Haki. 

"This is Conqueror's Haki!!!" 

Xia Qi, watching from the side, was also surprised by Li Yuan. She didn't expect to meet someone on the island who possessed such strong Conqueror's Haki. 

Although it wasn't as formidable as some of the monster officers of the Rocks Pirates, Li Yuan seemed very young. 

He had great potential and might become someone on par with the monster officers of the Rocks Pirates. 

"Since you're a stubborn pirate daring to obstruct our mission, then you should just die!" 

Seeing Li Yuan unleash his Conqueror's Haki, the man in the tiger mask knew discussions were futile. So, he decided to eliminate him and complete his mission. 

"Roar!!!!" 

With a tiger's roar, the man in the tiger mask suddenly bulked up, his muscles bursting through his suit. 

Simultaneously, he transformed from a human into a humanoid tiger, clearly an animal-type Devil Fruit user. 

"Standard Animal-type Devil Fruit, Cat-Cat Fruit: Bengal Tiger Form!!" 

Li Yuan immediately guessed the man's Devil Fruit ability upon seeing him. 

When fighting a Devil Fruit user, it's crucial to understand their ability first. 

Otherwise, when dealing with special Devil Fruit users, carelessness could lead to defeat. 

The transformation of this man in the tiger mask was similar in aura to that of the previous leopard transformation, both being regular animal-type Devil Fruit users. 

"Bang!!!" 

As soon as the man transformed, the pressure from the Conqueror's Haki lessened, and he used the "Shave" technique to charge forward. 

His strength lay in physical combat, and he needed to get close to his enemy to unleash his full power. 

"Tiger Gun!" 

He used Finger Gun, covered in Armament Haki, aiming at Li Yuan's heart and throat. 

"I was waiting for you!" 

Seeing the man charge forward, Li Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile. 

"Life Return: Limb Enhancement!" 

At the moment Li Yuan withdrew his Conqueror's Haki, his limb muscles suddenly swelled. 

His robust muscles expanded to the extreme, with bulging veins clearly visible, and the strength in his limbs visibly increased. 

Having mastered Life Return, he naturally developed some enhancement techniques. 

Enhancing his limbs allowed him to increase their strength fivefold, but it also exerted immense pressure and muscle damage, making it unsustainable. 

"Triple Shave!!" 

As the man in the tiger mask approached, Li Yuan's figure suddenly vanished, the tiger's fingers piercing through the afterimage he left behind. 

He used the first Shave to dodge the attack, the second to position himself behind the tiger-masked man. 

By the time the man realized his attack only hit an afterimage, it was too late—Li Yuan was already behind him. 

The third Shave was the most powerful and fastest! 

"Limitless: Cross Evil Light Slash!!" 

A black longsword condensed and compressed to the extreme, unleashing two massive white slashes, forming a colossal cross slash. 

The cross slash lacked sharp cutting power, penetration, or speed. 

Instead, it converted all the power attached to the slash into extreme impact!! 

The man in the tiger mask never expected Li Yuan to burst forth with such speed, surpassing even his Shave, leaving his beast instincts unable to react. 

His Finger Gun only hit an afterimage, and the enormous slash was already behind him. 

"Armament: Iron Block!!" 

Instinctively, he strengthened his back with his best defense. 

"Boom!!!!" 

The robust body of the man in the tiger mask was struck by the cross slash, sending him flying like a cannonball toward the sea. 

"Stop me!" 

The man seemed to realize something as he was propelled toward the sea, struggling to stabilize himself mid-air with Moonwalk. 

But the force behind him was too strong, and he couldn't stabilize himself, leaving him to be carried toward the sea. 

Fortunately, the impact was parallel, not downward into the sea. 

"Hmm? Not good!!" 

Realizing something, he looked up with difficulty, shocked to see Li Yuan's sinister smile. 

As soon as he unleashed the Evil Light Slash, Li Yuan's Observation Haki had already tracked the man's trajectory, and he had used Moonwalk to reach the path's top at even greater speed. 

Harnessing the rhythm of the ocean, Li Yuan's sword energy shifted from sharp and unrivaled to as vast and deep as the ocean. 

As he raised his longsword, a massive phantom of a sea vortex seemed to appear in the sky. 

The vortex devoured seawater, forming a sea tornado, and the bottom of the sea tornado, like a funnel, was precisely where the sword's blade was positioned.
