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

"Rokushiki Secret Art: Six King Gravity Gun!!"

Both fists struck simultaneously, the compressed gravity carrying the immense strength of a titan, aimed at Sengoku's head and heart.

Sengoku's Observation Haki had already sensed Barrett's actions. He tilted his head to dodge one punch while blocking Barrett's heavy blow with a Buddha palm.

As Sengoku was about to retract his palm after sending Hermes flying, planning to hit Barrett with a shockwave, Karu, in his human-tiger form, charged at Sengoku from the other side.

"Two-Sword Style: Cross Evil Light Slash!!"

Karu slashed out a massive cross attack, hundreds of meters long, using his black tiger wings, which were covered in Armament Haki, as dual swords. The ground was torn apart instantly, and even Sengoku dared not take the powerful slash head-on with his Great Buddha form.

"Vajra Staff!!"

A golden light gathered in one of Sengoku's Buddha palms, blocking the incoming massive cross slash, while another shockwave sent Barrett flying back.

He intended to deal with Karu, whom he considered weaker, but Hermes, with bloodshot eyes, rose again in fury, charging at him once more. His body, previously injured by the shockwave, was already healing and much improved.

"Attack!!"

Hermes knew few martial arts, mainly the Navy's Rokushiki and Eight Impact Fists. Using Soru, he rushed forward, delivering a powerful punch towards Sengoku as before.

"Hmph, no matter how many times you try, it's the same!"

"Great Buddha Impact!"

Seeing this, Sengoku abandoned his plan to pursue Karu, raising his hand to unleash another shockwave that sent Hermes flying once more.

Immediately, Barrett engaged Sengoku again in fierce combat, with Karu providing support with slashes, harassing Sengoku from the sides. Lacking combat experience against strong opponents, Hermes was repeatedly sent flying by Sengoku's shockwaves, like a wild beast charging mindlessly.

However, Hermes, seemingly indestructible, always got back up to attack again, like an unyielding cockroach. The three main officers of the Infinite Pirates joined forces against Sengoku, holding him at bay.

Sengoku considered defeating Karu or Hermes first, but Barrett consistently intercepted him. Though Barrett wasn't as strong as Sengoku, he was able to hold him off.

After battling for two days and nights, Sengoku still couldn't overcome the trio, and he couldn't help but admire the tenacity of the Infinite Pirates' officers. However, by the third day, Hermes was exhausted. Despite being a Beast King and having eaten a Mythical Zoan, he was still inexperienced, having been human for just over three months, and his Haki wasn't strong enough. He had to withdraw from the assault on Sengoku.

Just as Sengoku thought he could defeat Karu and Barrett, another officer of the Infinite Pirates, Kano, appeared on the battlefield, taking Hermes' place to continue the assault on Sengoku.

On the fourth day, Karu couldn't hold on anymore and was replaced by another officer, Howard.

"Damn Infinite Pirates, they're using me as a sparring partner!"

By now, even someone as dignified as Sengoku realized the Infinite Pirates' strategy. As a proud Navy Admiral, being reduced to a pirate's training partner was a grave insult!

"Retreat!!"

Seeing the situation, Sengoku decisively used Moonwalk to fly away, choosing not to continue the fight. His mission was merely to probe the Infinite Pirates, and having gathered the necessary information, he decided to withdraw. After all, this was the New World, a pirate's domain. He couldn't afford to exhaust his strength here, fearing that someone like Shiki might capture him.

"Hahaha, as expected of Admiral Sengoku, truly formidable!" Barrett laughed as he watched Sengoku fly away. He didn't pursue, instead spitting out blood and collapsing onto the ground in his human form.

Over the past four days, he had borne the brunt of the battle against Sengoku, sustaining numerous injuries. Without the support of the other officers, he wouldn't have lasted even half a day against Sengoku.

But Barrett was undeterred. He was still young and would become even stronger in a few years. By then, he wouldn't fear facing Sengoku alone!

"Admiral, very strong!" Hermes, having recovered from his injuries, approached. In front of Sengoku, he had been utterly powerless, much like when he faced Li Yuan. He was only alive thanks to his tenacious life force.

"Hahaha, Hermes, you're already strong. You just lack combat experience," Barrett said with a grin. "In a while, I'll take you to Elbaf. It's full of giant warriors, and you'll have plenty of fights there!"

"Marshal, Barrett and the other officers of the Infinite Pirates are very strong. I was..." Upon returning to the warship, Sengoku immediately ordered a return to base and called Kong to report the outcome.

The Infinite Pirates' strength was formidable, and their formerly weak officers had grown significantly. Even Barrett, with just two other officers, could hold off Sengoku, a Navy Admiral.

Thinking about the Infinite Pirates having two core officers and many regular officers made Sengoku's scalp tingle. If those regular officers advanced to core officers in the future, it would be even more terrifying.

"I understand. Return for now. According to your assessment, the Infinite Pirates' high-end combat power surpasses that of the Flying Pirates."

On West Sea Grimoire Island, four days had passed, and Ashura Doji and Chinjao were still locked in aerial combat with Zephyr. Despite Zephyr's attempts to knock them into the sea, he couldn't defeat Ashura Doji and Chinjao.

The battle between Li Yuan and Garp was the most intense. Even fighting at a thousand meters in the air, the clash of sword and fist sent massive waves hundreds of meters high.

The entire sky had become their battlefield, with Haki clashes turning the sky into a realm of red lightning. Their duels were perilous, each exchange a testament to their determination to fight to the death.

"Hahaha, Garp, you're losing your touch!" Li Yuan laughed maniacally, attacking relentlessly. His clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in wounds, but his spirit was unbroken.

Garp, faced with Li Yuan's taunts, remained silent but was inwardly frustrated. In the past, he would taunt Roger during their battles; now, he found himself the target of mockery!

Garp's body was bloodied, with deep sword wounds and numerous scars, looking worse off than Li Yuan. After pushing Garp back, the Seven Star Sword's blood-colored dragon coiled around its blade, merging sword intent with Haki.

"Trinity Secret Art: Haki-Infused Blood Dragon Sky Slash!"

With a slash, a massive eastern dragon-shaped blood dragon soared, its roar echoing through the heavens, heralding its arrival. The blood dragon opened its massive jaws, charging at Garp to devour him whole!

"Bone Fist: Meteor Impact!"

Garp swung his fist, striking the dragon's fangs, his immense strength and Haki coursing through the dragon, shattering its body. Yet, the blood dragon's impact sent Garp flying, pain radiating from his fist throughout his body.

Somehow, the Seven Star Sword gathered its sword intent again, casting a blood-red glow over the heavens, dimming the sun and letting a blood-red moon reign.

"Trinity Secret Art: Haki-Infused Blood Moon Ascension!"

A blood-red moon, a kilometer in diameter, shot skyward, its speed reaching an extreme, its trajectory erratic and unpredictable.

As Garp steadied himself, the blood moon charged from below, quickly closing in on him.

"Bone Fist: Galactic Impact!"

Garp raised his iron fist, confident that nothing could withstand his punch! The blood moon, like a rotating saw blade, cut into Garp's fist, even breaking through his iron defense.

"Break for me!!!"

Garp roared, shattering the blood moon, but its fragments continued to crash into him, forcing blood from his mouth as he was flung hundreds of meters into the sky.

As Garp soared, Li Yuan appeared above him, the destructive power of the Seven Star Sword ready to unleash.

"Trinity Secret Art: Haki-Infused Earth-Shattering Slash!"

Li Yuan, with the sword in both hands, dived using Moonwalk, compressing the fierce wind, invisible air currents, and the combined force of Haki and sword intent onto the blade.

When the power reached its peak, Li Yuan unleashed a devastating slash. The sword's force exploded with a roar, space quaking, and countless blood-colored lightning streaking through the void. It seemed as if the entire realm would be destroyed by this single strike.

Garp's Observation Haki had sensed the danger above him, but the violent impact made it impossible to evade in time.

"Bone Fist: Galactic Impact!!"

Unable to dodge, Garp gathered his power in his iron fist, believing in his invincibility. As sword and fist met again, the air was sucked out of the sky, a shockwave exploding, scattering clouds miles away.
