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

"In the year 1484 of the Haiyuan calendar, Rocks is going to attack God's Valley. With only three years left, I must seize the opportunity to raise my strength to a level where I am unafraid of a Navy Admiral; otherwise, my life will be in jeopardy."

The thought of the Battle of God's Valley heightened Li Yuan's sense of urgency. After all, that's God's Valley, where even Rocks perished. Who knows what dangers might lurk there?

After becoming a cadre of the Rocks Pirates, Li Yuan brought his junior disciples to Hive Island. 

His junior disciples were initially intimidated by the numerous fierce pirates they encountered for the first time. However, upon seeing these pirates yield and clear the path for their senior brother, none daring to approach, their fear subsided.

They even overheard the pirates referring to their senior brother as the "Decapitating Sword Master" or something similar.

On Hive Island, each cadre has a villa as their base, specifically prepared by the pirate crew, without the need for purchase. 

Hive Island isn't solely inhabited by pirates; many residents and merchants come and go as well. Under Rocks' strict rule, no one dares to cause trouble here, not even the fiercest pirates, who must adhere to Rocks' set rules.

Those who disobeyed the rules are all dead; the remaining ones are those willing to follow them.

Upon reaching his residence, Li Yuan found someone already waiting for him.

"Li Yuan, congratulations on becoming a cadre of the Rocks Pirates."

Shaki, seeing this young man she hadn't seen for a month, felt a surge of excitement deep inside.

"And congratulations to you for becoming the woman of a Rocks Pirates cadre."

Upon seeing Shaki, Li Yuan wasted no time, directly picking her up and carrying her to the bedroom.

Though Shaki symbolically resisted Li Yuan's domineering behavior, she soon ceased struggling, realizing its futility.

Today, Shaki wore glasses, presenting a scholarly demeanor. However, she also wore black ultra-short shorts and a black camisole, her long white legs and fair skin fully exposed.

This sight instantly excited Li Yuan, igniting a fierce battle.

After an intense confrontation, the two lay quietly, basking in the post-battle warmth.

"On the desk over there, I've prepared for you some cultivation notes on swordsmanship, martial arts, and Haki, as well as a Devil Fruit guide that every cadre of the Rocks Pirates possesses," Shaki said, drawing circles on Li Yuan's chest with her fingers.

"You truly are my considerate woman," Li Yuan couldn't help but praise. Having a woman who looks out for him is indeed wonderful.

To rapidly advance his strength now, Li Yuan needs to progress in both physical prowess and Haki, as well as in swordsmanship and martial arts. 

Progress in physical strength and Haki requires more time, while advancement in swordsmanship and martial arts calls for broadening horizons, learning from various sources, comprehending and creating a unique path.

Undoubtedly, his foundation in swordsmanship is lacking, as he initially learned only the Infinite Sword Technique, a mere average sword master's legacy. His current achievements are entirely supported by his exceptional talent in swordsmanship.

To go further down the path of swordsmanship, he needs to explore different routes.

Extract the essence, discard the dross, and transform it into the foundation and nourishment of his swordsmanship, continuously propelling it forward.

In the Rocks Pirates, these cultivation notes are hidden benefits for cadres.

Though Rocks does not personally teach cadres how to cultivate, he generously copies these plundered cultivation notes and distributes them for self-study.

Guidance from a master can significantly aid in one's path to strength, greatly shortening the time it takes to become stronger.

It can help avoid many detours, allowing one to find the most suitable path in the shortest time and then rapidly grow stronger.

In the original story, wasn't Zoro and Luffy's strength greatly enhanced in just two years under the tutelage of masters?

Many cadres of the Rocks Pirates have followed this path.

Previously, they never received formal swordsmanship, martial arts, and Haki education like the future Navy Elite Training Camp.

They rose from humble beginnings, relying entirely on their innate talent to stand out among many pirates and catch Rocks' attention.

Once in Rocks' sights, they were invited to join the Rocks Pirates, receiving numerous cultivation notes and the protection of the Rocks Pirates, fully unleashing their potential and soaring in strength.

Given their talent, even without a master's guidance, they can self-study with numerous cultivation notes, becoming their own teachers and forging their path to strength.

Previous cadres of the Rocks Pirates followed this route, and now Li Yuan does too.

"By the way, please help gather information about Suigu Town and Aska Island. I need to know their exact locations," Li Yuan said, gently kissing Shaki's hair.

Li Yuan recalls that Suigu Town holds a Bat Fruit, Model: Vampire, a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, granting eternal youth and near-immortality. It's the only Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit he knows the whereabouts of.

On Aska Island, there is a Seven-Star Sword, which, in Li Yuan's opinion, can rival the Supreme Grade Swords.

As a swordsman, the future world's greatest swordsman, he currently lacks even a Quality Grade Sword, making him yearn for a good sword—a powerful sword that can enhance his swordsmanship and increase his sword's lethality.

His current sword, even when imbued with Armament Haki, is nearing its limit under his full strength, making finding a good sword imperative.

"Okay, I'll collect information on those two islands for you," Shaki nodded. As Li Yuan's woman and a member of the Rocks Pirates intelligence division, gathering information on the two islands is relatively simple.

The intelligence network of the Rocks Pirates is vast. Though the Rocks Pirates haven't invaded all four seas, they have established numerous intelligence bases there, and even more so in the New World, where the Rocks Pirates have a presence in most places.

Having joined the Rocks Pirates as a cadre, Li Yuan doesn't plan to leave Hive Island anytime soon.

He is acutely aware of his current insufficiency in strength. Among the many combat cadres, he is the weakest and could easily become a target.

Thus, Li Yuan opts to stay low-key on Hive Island, disregarding other trivial matters, focusing on training and studying the cultivation notes to grow stronger.

At sixteen, his body is rapidly developing, and his strength is rapidly increasing. Through training and cultivation, he can quickly become stronger.
