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

"Kekekekeke! I told you the Infinite Pirate Fleet would come to save us! Let's go, Judge!"

Seeing Kano arrive, Caesar Clown was ecstatic. He immediately bolted, not wasting a second.

"Caesar, wait for me!"

Judge, reacting a beat slower, hurried to catch up.

"Shave!"

The CP0 agents, realizing their targets were escaping, sprang into action, using their techniques to give chase.

"Blade Spin!"

But Kano moved faster. In the blink of an eye, he intercepted them, his arms transforming into razor-sharp black blades that sliced through the air.

"Crack!"

Even with Armament Haki shielding their arms, the CP0 agents couldn't withstand the force. Their bones shattered, and they crumpled to their knees.

"I gave you a chance earlier because I didn't want to hurt the scientists. Did you really think vermin like you could escape my blades?" Kano sneered.

"Slash!"

With a swift spin, Kano's legs transformed into black blades, delivering precise strikes to their necks. Their heads tumbled to the ground as blood sprayed in arcs.

These CP0 agents were relatively new recruits, far weaker than their predecessors. Without Devil Fruit abilities and possessing only mid-tier strength, they stood no chance against Kano.

Inside Vegapunk's Lab

Four CP0 agents surrounded Vegapunk.

"We're with the World Government. You're coming with us!" one of them barked.

Without looking up, Vegapunk responded, "Why the rush? My experiment is almost done. Do you realize this experiment is worth at least 100 billion Berries? If it fails, can you afford the loss?"

The agents hesitated. Such a massive sum left them unsure of how to proceed.

"How long will it take?" the leader asked.

"Just one minute. Then it'll be complete," Vegapunk replied calmly, still focused on his work.

Reluctantly, the CP0 leader signaled his team to wait. But before the minute was up, a chilling presence filled the room.

"Intruder!"

All four agents turned toward the lab door, their instincts screaming danger.

They moved to grab Vegapunk, but before they could act, the door burst open in a flash of crimson light.

A streak of blood-red energy shot into the room, decapitating three CP0 agents before they could react.

The leader, faster than the others, managed to block the incoming attack with his Haki-coated arms. Still, the force shattered his bones, sending him hurtling through the air and out of the lab.

"Li Yuan!"

The remaining agents, recognizing their assailant, were paralyzed with fear. Blood gushed from their necks as they collapsed, their lifeless bodies rapidly drained of every drop by the Seven-Star Sword.

Outside the Lab

The surviving CP0 leader used his Devil Fruit ability to flee, jets of gas propelling him higher and faster into the sky.

"What kind of Devil Fruit is that?" Li Yuan mused, watching the agent's retreat. Though he wanted to chase, the CP0 leader's speed made it nearly impossible.

"No matter. Securing Vegapunk is more important."

Returning to the lab, Li Yuan found Vegapunk still engrossed in his work, typing furiously on his keyboard.

"Dedicated, aren't you?" Li Yuan muttered, amused.

After a moment, Vegapunk declared, "It's done!" He admired his creation—an artificial clone of Stussy, the pinnacle of his Life Blueprint research.

"Great. Now, take a rest."

With a subtle smirk, Li Yuan released a wave of hypnotic ultrasonic energy. The mental attack overwhelmed Vegapunk instantly, leaving him unconscious.

Outside the MADS Facility

Li Yuan emerged with the unconscious Vegapunk slung over his shoulder.

The Infinite Pirate Fleet had fully secured the area, capturing numerous scientists. Among them were Caesar Clown and Judge, who approached alongside Kano.

"Senior Brother, I've brought the two scientists you asked for," Kano reported.

"Excellent. Welcome to the Infinite Pirate Fleet," Li Yuan said warmly, addressing Caesar and Judge. "The terms we promised remain unchanged. Show your worth, and your rewards will increase."

"Kekekeke! Thank you, Captain! I'll do my best!" Caesar laughed, eager to ingratiate himself.

Judge nodded solemnly. "I'll ensure my efforts are worthwhile." Seeing Vegapunk unconscious in Li Yuan's grasp, both scientists silently vowed to stay on his good side.

"Kano, Karu, gather all the lab's equipment, instruments, and data."

"Ashura Doji, escort the scientists to safety."

The crew worked quickly, transporting everything of value through Shaki's Mirror-Mirror Fruit portals.

Mariejois, the Holy Land

"What? Li Yuan of the Infinite Pirate Fleet has taken all the scientists? And only one CP0 agent survived?"

The Five Elders were furious.

Vegapunk's research, especially his Life Blueprint technology, was invaluable. Losing him to the Infinite Pirate Fleet meant a catastrophic shift in the balance of power.

"If Vegapunk remains in their hands, their technological advancements could destabilize the world," Peter Saint, the Agricultural God, fumed.

"Our ancient weapon needs energy. Without Vegapunk, its full potential remains untapped," Saturn, the Scientific Defense God, added grimly.

The Five Elders deliberated their options, knowing that reclaiming Vegapunk was now a top priority.

Back in the Infinite Pirate Fleet's domain, Vegapunk and the other scientists were safely transported to their new lab. Li Yuan observed his n

ewest recruits with satisfaction, knowing their combined intellect would propel his fleet to unprecedented heights.
