One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 4: One and a Half Years



"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!" "Bang!!!"

Afterwards, the fellow apprentices began to whip Li Yuan with the long whips in their hands, which made Li Yuan feel what ancient whipping felt like.

"Hold it back!"

The pain was so severe that Li Yuan almost couldn't help asking his fellow apprentices to stop. However, with his strong willpower, he gritted his teeth and continued to practice the first level of the Sword God Body Tempering Technique and persevered.

"stop!"

After half an hour of whipping, the fellow apprentices were all exhausted and out of breath, and finally Li Yuan asked them to stop.

"Huh, it finally stopped, Big Brother, are you okay?"

Kano asked with concern.

"fine!"

Li Yuan said with difficulty.

At this moment, his whole body was covered with whip wounds, even his face, and he looked extremely miserable.

However, this kind of injury was healed in half an hour. If it weren't for the fallen skin and blood on the ground, Kano would not have believed it was true.

"Go, bring me the barbecue."

After recovering from his injuries, Li Yuan's stomach growled and he was very hungry. Fortunately, his master had saved a lot on the island and supplied it to him for free, so he never lacked meat to eat.

"Big Brother, the barbecue you requested is here."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Third Junior Brother Kalu soon arrived pushing a cart full of barbecue.

"The barbecue tastes a bit bland, add more salt next time."

Li Yuan grabbed the barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth. The cart of barbecue was three times bigger than his body, and he ate it all.

Kano and other fellow disciples looked at Li Yuan as if he were a monster. They had never seen anyone who could eat so much.

"In the future, I will go out to sea and become a pirate. I will form a pirate group, become a world-famous pirate, and become the world's greatest swordsman!"

"You are my fellow apprentices. If you also want to go out to sea with me, then you should train with me and work hard to become stronger together. If you are not strong enough by then, I will not take you out to sea."

After Li Yuan had eaten his fill, he looked at the ten fellow apprentices surrounding him and spoke seriously.

He wants to form a pirate group, and the early members will most likely be selected from the sword hall, which is also his initial team.

"Great, Big Brother, I want to go out to sea, too. I want to become a great pirate. I will work hard to train, and when the time comes, I will definitely go out to sea with Big Brother!"

Second Junior Brother Kano said excitedly.

"Big Brother, I will do my best too."

Third Junior Brother Kalu was also very interested in this.

"Then let's work hard together!"

After eating, Li Yuan continued to exercise. He looked at the rock 30 meters away, walked to the rock, lifted the rock above his head with both hands, and then did frog jumps with the rock.

After he had trained himself to the limit, he began to practice the first level of [Sword God's Body Tempering Technique] to reduce fatigue, and then began to practice swordsmanship.

However, the sword in his hand now is not an ordinary iron sword, but a special giant sword weighing a thousand pounds.

Li Yuan took the giant sword and began to practice the basic sword move of "picking". He planned to practice just this one sword move for a month. After all, half a year ago, he had only practiced six basic sword moves.

He needs to practice every basic sword move until he reaches perfection and makes it become instinct.

One and a half years later

Li Yuan's inhuman daily training lasted for a full year and a half.

It has been two years since Li Yuan regained consciousness. Two years have made his strength change dramatically!

His observation Haki has become even stronger, and his physique and swordsmanship have also improved rapidly. He is completely different from before!

"In the past two years, I have become much stronger, but I have never really fought an enemy and have no combat experience."

Li Yuan is very satisfied with his progress in the past two years.

"Big Brother, it's bad, it's bad, the pirates are coming, the master told us to hide and not go out."

Kalu hurried over and shouted.

"Third Junior Brother, Master won't let us go out, what about Master himself?"

Li Yuan asked after helping his third fellow apprentice Kalu to stabilize himself.

"Of course, Master is going to stop the pirates from invading our island. Don't worry, Master is very strong and nothing will happen to him. Master has stopped many pirate

invasions in the past."

Kalu said after taking a breath.

"You stay here, I'll go see the master."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes lit up. Isn't the pirate invasion a good opportunity to test his

own strength?

As long as he doesn't commit suicide and doesn't rush to the front, relying on his observation Haki, there shouldn't be any danger.

"Hey, big brother, wait a minute."

Kalu wanted to say something, but Li Yuan would not listen to him and immediately ran out of the sword hall.

Li Yuan ran to the edge of the house next to the island's port, hid aside without showing his face, and secretly looked at the pirate ship approaching the port.

"Boss, although this island is under the protection of the navy, it is on the edge. The navy can't arrive so quickly. As long as we are fast enough and run after looting, the navy won't be able to catch up with us!"

A pirate with a black turban on his head and a knife in his hand said as he looked greedily

at the island in front of him.

"Hahahaha, you're right. As long as we're quick enough, all the treasures will be ours."

"My fellow men, come on! Kill them all, burn them all, and rob them all!"

The pirate captain raised the machete in his hand and shouted excitedly.

"Go, go, go, the treasure is mine!"

"Kill! All the women are mine!"

"Kill them all, burn them all, loot them all, eat them all!"

When the pirates on the pirate ship heard the captain's words, they were suddenly excited.

A greedy laugh appeared on everyone's face. They jumped off the pirate ship and rushed

towards the island.

"Hahaha, old man, are you welcoming us? Don't worry, we will let you go peacefully. No

need to thank us."

However, as soon as these pirates rushed down, they saw an old man holding a knife

standing in front of them.

These pirates didn't care at all and just started chopping with their knives. For them,

chopping old men was a normal thing.

"ah!!!!"

"ah!!!!"

However, the five pirates who were at the front and didn't take the old man seriously

suddenly screamed because their hearts were all pierced!

"Pirates, retreat now, otherwise, you will all die!"

Louis said calmly.

Although Louis's expression was calm, the murderous aura he exuded made all the

originally excited pirates stop.

Then they looked at their captain. This old man was very strong, and they, the younger brothers, would be serving as food if they rushed forward.

"I didn't expect the master to be so strong. He never fights with me on weekdays. I don't know what level the master's strength is at, but the leader of the pirate group should not be as

strong as the master."

After Li Yuan came here, he had already used his Observation Haki to observe. He could sense that the captain of the pirate group did not seem to be very strong.
