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

"Shave!"

"Momomo, Seventyfold Speed!!"

After taking a deep breath, Wald exploded with even faster speed than before. Before CP0 Director Rosua had even landed after being sent flying, Wald was already behind him.

Rosua, sensing Wald's approach through his Observation Haki, endured the intense pain in his abdomen and used Moon Step to flip in midair, facing Wald head-on.

He knew that if he didn't seize any opportunity now, he might very well be killed by Wald!

"Smash Space!"

Suddenly, Rosua's arm muscles swelled, blood leaking from his pores. With a powerful punch, the destructive power emanating from him created cracks in space itself, like a spider's web.

Wald, now completely berserk, didn't care how strong Rosua was—he was determined to kill him.

He relentlessly used his Momomo Fruit to amplify his Armament Haki, willing to exhaust his own stamina for the sake of this blow.

"Momomo, Eightyfold Haki!"

Endless Armament Haki poured from Wald's fist, its black glow shining as the punch struck, like a black hole swallowing the world.

Before this terrifying Armament Haki, even Rosua's space-shattering Smash Power was consumed by the force.

Wald's fist tore through Rosua's power just as before, smashing into Rosua's face with terrifying force.

The incredible impact shattered Rosua's nose, knocked most of his teeth loose, and caved in the bones of his face.

More importantly, the overwhelming Haki slammed into Rosua's head, causing his brain to rattle.

Like a falling star, Rosua crashed into the ground, leaving a deep gash in the earth several dozen meters long.

Even with such a powerful blow from Wald, Rosua was not dead, nor had he lost consciousness. He slowly climbed out of the deep crater.

"The stamina consumed by amplifying Haki with the Momomo Fruit is much greater than enhancing other abilities. Once your stamina runs out, that's when you die!"

Blood streaming from his face, Rosua stood up and looked at Wald.

Though Wald was unharmed, he was breathing heavily, clearly exhausted. Despite only trading a few blows, he was already drained as if he had fought for seven days and nights.

"The World Government's lapdog, the next punch will be your last!"

A crazed look flashed across Wald's face. Even if he died today, he was determined to kill this man!

"Shave!"

"Momomo, Eightyfold Speed!"

Wald disappeared in an instant and reappeared in front of Rosua. His speed was so fast that even Rosua's Observation Haki sensed it, but his body couldn't react in time, and he couldn't even throw a punch.

"Momomo, One Hundredfold Haki!"

"Momomo, Fiftyfold Strength!"

As Wald reached Rosua, he canceled the speed amplification and focused all his energy on his punch, amplifying his strength fiftyfold and Haki one hundredfold.

The punch shot forward like a black-glowing meteor, streaking toward Rosua's head.

"Not good!"

In that instant, Rosua felt the familiar yet terrifying sense of death. Wald's speed was too fast, and all he could do was use his body's instinct to cover his head with Armament Haki.

But at that moment, Wald's fist shifted downward and slammed into Rosua's chest instead.

"Splurt!!!"

The unexpected change caught Rosua completely off guard. The terrifying black meteoric fist struck his chest with such force that the overwhelming strength seemed to crush his heart through his ribs.

Blood sprayed from Rosua's mouth, and he was sent flying backward like a broken kite, his eyes wide with disbelief. How could a CP0 Director like him be killed by a pirate?

"Damned bastard, finally dead?"

Wald, despite having killed Rosua, felt the intense backlash from the repeated amplifications, causing his arm bones to crack. 

His entire body had exhausted all its stamina, and his vision blurred. He collapsed onto the ground, his body limp like a pile of mush.

If a Navy lieutenant with a knife had appeared at that moment, they could have easily killed Wald.

"Oh? Wald actually finished his fight!"

While battling Marshal General Jenoir, Li Yuan still had enough focus to extend his Observation Haki to cover other battlefields, observing the overall situation of the war.

He had expected to be the last to finish his fight, but to his surprise, Wald had already ended his battle.

"Momomo's Fruit really has an unparalleled advantage in terms of explosive power!"

Li Yuan couldn't help but admire.

With the Momomo Fruit, as long as there was enough stamina, one could amplify their power by a hundred times. If Li Yuan had this ability, he could have killed Marshal General Jenoir with a single strike, without needing to fight for so long.

"Iron Arm · Elephant Strike!"

Seemingly sensing a weakness in Li Yuan, Jenoir seized the opportunity, switching from defense to offense. The black Armament Haki on his arm surged forward, striking like a giant elephant.

"Wald has already defeated his opponent, I can't lag behind!"

"Marshal General Jenoir, I'll send you to reunite with your two subordinates!"

Li Yuan immediately understood Jenoir's thoughts. Using his lightning-fast speed, he easily dodged Jenoir's attack.

"Life Return · Ultimate Limb Enhancement!"

With Life Return, in the blink of an eye, Li Yuan's limb muscles swelled up, visible veins bulging as blood seeped out from his pores.

"Blood Boiling!"

At the same time, Li Yuan controlled his blood to boil, increasing his overall power. With these two amplifications, his strength skyrocketed.

"How is this possible? He actually used this state now!"

Jenoir's Observation Haki had been watching Li Yuan closely, and he immediately noticed the change. A deep sense of fear began to rise within him.

The World Government had gathered much intelligence on Li Yuan, and two key points were particularly important: one about the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword, and the other about how Li Yuan's power surged dramatically after using Life Return.

Many of the top-tier warriors Li Yuan had killed in the past were slain after he used Life Return to boost his strength.

Now, with Life Return amplifying his power, it was clear that Li Yuan was preparing to kill him!
