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

"The Violence Pirates have joined forces with the Silver Axe Pirates to attack the Infinity Pirates' territory. Currently, the two pirate crews are engaged in battle!"

"The Infinity Pirates split their forces, sending three commanders to intercept Branton, while Captain Li Yuan personally deals with Silver Axe!"

"The Flying Pirates, like the Infinity Pirates, have divided their forces. Three commanders are confronting John, while Golden Lion faces off against Wald."

"Whitebeard Pirates are clashing with Wang Zhi Pirates. Although Whitebeard's subordinates are weaker than Wang Zhi's, Wang Zhi avoids direct confrontation with Whitebeard, using the Soru Soru no Mi to maneuver."

"Big Mom Pirates are staying within their territory, expanding only slightly to nearby islands, avoiding conflict with other major pirate crews."

The Navy, though not participating in the New World pirates' war, continuously gathered intelligence, analyzed by the strategy department.

Fleet Admiral Kong, along with Sengoku and others, closely monitored the developing situation.

"Latest report: The Infinity Pirates have defeated the Silver Axe Pirates. Silver Axe was beaten by Li Yuan and fled. The Infinity Pirates are capitalizing on their victory, seizing Silver Axe's territory!"

"Moreover, the Violence Pirates are being held off by the three commanders of the Infinity Pirates, unable to advance further."

The Navy swiftly received the latest updates.

"Impossible! The Infinity Pirates' three commanders managed to hold off Branton!" Kong exclaimed, shocked by the news.

In the past, it took three Admiral-level forces to capture Branton, and even then, it wasn't quick.

Yet now, Branton was being stalled by three of the Infinity Pirates' commanders. And Li Yuan defeated Silver Axe in just two days. The Infinity Pirates were becoming as formidable as the Roger Pirates.

"Admiral, we've gathered information on the three commanders holding Branton."

"Barrett, Mythical Zoan user with the Titan ability, adept in martial arts, age unknown, appears about fifteen."

"Ashura Doji, Ancient Zoan Alligator Fruit user, swordsman, age unknown, appears in his twenties."

"Howard, Paramecia Shock Fruit user, former Grand General of the Hayes Kingdom, joined the Infinity Pirates after the kingdom's fall, 39 years old."

Vice Admiral Tsuru presented the profiles to Kong.

"Why are such talented monsters always pirates? Why don't we have them in the Navy?" Kong sighed, reviewing the profiles.

While the Navy boasted top-tier forces like Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, the younger generation lacked exceptional talent, leaving the Navy in a transitional phase.

"Judging by this, the Infinity Pirates could be among the victors in this New World war," Tsuru noted, implying the Navy might need to intervene.

Both the Navy and World Government preferred to see pirate crews weaken each other through mutual destruction, rather than one crew emerging as a dominant force similar to the Rocks Pirates.

"For now, let's observe. It's not the right time to act," Kong decided, waving off the suggestion.

The New World's large-scale conflict continued, with Li Yuan leading the Infinity Pirates in rapid expansion after defeating Silver Axe.

Despite Silver Axe returning to challenge Li Yuan after recovering, he was defeated again.

This time, he wisely conserved enough strength to escape.

Li Yuan understood Silver Axe's strategy was to delay his progress.

Unfazed, Li Yuan continued to seize Silver Axe's territory.

Two months later, Li Yuan had claimed most of Silver Axe's holdings and half of the central New World territory.

In their latest battle, Silver Axe, covered in deep sword wounds and bleeding profusely, faced Li Yuan.

"Hahaha, Li Yuan, you've won again!" Silver Axe laughed despite his injuries, ready to flee as before.

"Hmph, Silver Axe, I let you go before to use you as a whetstone. But now, you're no longer useful," Li Yuan declared.

"Life Return: Ultimate Limb Enhancement!"

With a cold snort, Li Yuan's muscles swelled, veins bulging, as blood seeped from his pores.

"Boom!!!"

The ground beneath him cratered as Li Yuan vanished from sight.

"Trinity Unification: Conqueror's Divine Severance!"

The Seven Stars Sword emitted a violent, blood-red lightning, locking onto Silver Axe with an overwhelming killing intent.

The terrifying aura, capable of slaying even gods, momentarily stunned Silver Axe.

"Arrogant brat, I'm Silver Axe!!"

Spurred by Li Yuan's murderous gaze, Silver Axe's pride surged.

Familiar with the attack, Silver Axe knew evasion was futile, opting to meet it head-on.

"Mighty Axe!"

His giant axe, infused with Conqueror's and Armament Haki, along with immense strength, clashed with the Seven Stars Sword.

"How can this be!!"

Feeling the unmatched power from the sword, Silver Axe's face paled.

Overwhelmed by the force, his imagined balance or slight disadvantage vanished, leaving only crushing defeat.

In a blink, his axe faltered, spraying blood from his chest as ribs shattered under the impact, sending him flying backward.

"Not good!"

Attempting to escape, Silver Axe realized Li Yuan had already ascended, descending like a meteor.

Too late to dodge, he braced for impact.

"Trinity Unification: Conqueror's Heaven-Shattering Slash!"

Li Yuan, plummeting like a meteor, wielded the Seven Stars Sword with a brilliance that dimmed the sky.

The sword's destructive aura threatened to obliterate the island beneath it.

Though yet to strike, Silver Axe felt an unprecedented mortal danger, knowing failure to block would mean death.

"I am the great pirate Silver Axe!!"

Coating his body in Armament Haki, Silver Axe raised his axe, channeling all his strength into a mighty swing.

The resulting explosion echoed like an atomic blast, shockwaves radiating from the island's center.

Towering waves surged back to sea as the island fractured, revealing a massive crater.

At its center, a blood-red abyss crackled with lightning.

Silver Axe, gripping his axe, faced Li Yuan's relentless advance.

"Cough, cough!!"

Despite his defiance, Silver Axe spat blood, his body weakening under the relentless assault.

Li Yuan pressed down, shattering Silver Axe's defenses, driving him into the ground.

Leaping back, Li Yuan raised the Seven Stars Sword, condensing its aura into a vortex-like force.

"Trinity Unification: Conqueror's Kingdom!"

Unleashed, the sword's shockwave obliterated the air, devastating the island below.

Buried in the crater, Silver Axe watched helplessly as the shockwave descended, barely raising his axe in defense.

"Boom!!!!"

The shockwave shattered Silver Axe's defenses, his bones fracturing under the onslaught, rendering him unconscious.

The island, already crumbling, disintegrated further, sinking into the sea and forming a deep chasm as water rushed in.

Silver Axe was swept into the depths, doomed as a Devil Fruit user.

"Captain!!"

The giant eagle, hovering above, watched in shock as its revered captain fell.

Yet, without Silver Axe, it dared not approach, fearing instant death.

"Life Return, release!"

Li Yuan released his enhanced state, diving into the sea to recover Silver Axe.

Awakening underwater, Silver Axe struggled but couldn't escape.

Expecting death, he was surprised as Li Yuan pulled him to safety.

"Bang!!"

Li Yuan tossed Silver Axe onto the deck of a pirate ship.

"Cough, cough!!!"

Expelling seawater, Silver Axe looked at Li Yuan in confusion.

He couldn't fathom why Li Yuan saved him, doubting it was out of camaraderie.

As pirates, they were rivals, each wishing the other's demise to claim territory.
