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

"Six Powers Secret Art: Maximum Wheel - Six King Gun!" 

Hermes, using his beastly instincts combined with the awareness from his Observation Haki, sensed the danger behind him. Before turning around, he had already gathered his strength and launched his dual-fist attack, directly meeting the Buddha palm head-on!

The moment fist and palm collided, Hermes felt an enormous force bearing down on his fists. His arms were violently shaken, muscles tearing under the impact, and his entire body was sent flying back over a hundred meters by a single palm strike.

"Hahaha, Admiral Sengoku, don't think about pursuing Hermes. Take this punch!" 

"Eight Impact Fist Secret Art: Gravity Tiger Cannon!"

Just as Sengoku attempted to press his advantage, Barrett charged in from the side, excitement in his eyes. His blackened fist formed a gravity-imbued tiger, roaring as it lunged at Sengoku, who couldn't afford to take it lightly.

"Palm of the Buddha!"

Sengoku, like the true Buddha, slowly extended his palm. What seemed like a gentle push carried immense force.

The powerful impact shattered Barrett's gravity tiger, and the residual force pushed his Vajra Titan form back several dozen meters.

"Two Mythical Zoan users, such a hassle!" Sengoku muttered, frowning.

Though he appeared to be easily handling Barrett and Hermes, he knew that even his full-strength attacks couldn't decisively injure them due to their Mythical Zoan recovery abilities. They continually took turns fighting him, preventing sustained assaults.

As a result, Sengoku couldn't quickly defeat them, and they successfully held him at bay.

"Hahaha, Admiral Zephyr, this time your opponent is me!" 

Upon reaching the island, Ashura Doji immediately sought out Zephyr. Previously, he had teamed up with Chinjao against Zephyr, but now he felt confident enough to face him alone, thanks to his growth over the past two years.

"Hmph, just you? Where's Chinjao? Let him join in!" Zephyr scoffed, unimpressed by Ashura Doji's challenge.

"Hahaha, I want to solo an admiral!" Ashura Doji proudly declared, dismissing Zephyr's words.

He knew he wasn't yet an admiral's match, but only by challenging one directly would he understand the gap between them.

"Arrogant pirate, this time I'll ensure you're permanently imprisoned in Impel Down!" 

Even with his patience, Zephyr was angered by Ashura's words, which he took as an insult.

In terms of seniority, Zephyr was on par with Li Yuan, while Ashura Doji was merely one of Li Yuan's officers. Challenging an admiral implied that Zephyr was beneath a subordinate of Li Yuan!

"One-Sword Style: Ashura Blood Slash!"

Ashura Doji wasn't concerned with such matters. His Ashura sword intent manifested, casting a blood-red shadow across the sky.

His sword, Earth Doom, turned black as he unleashed a slash, the Ashura blood shadow following, sweeping forward like a comet.

"Wrist Fist!"

Feeling underestimated, Zephyr covered his fists and wrists with black Armament Haki, unleashing his formidable strength.

His punch collided with Earth Doom, and although not as explosive as the clash between Garp and Li Yuan, it was nonetheless significant, fracturing the ground within hundreds of meters through the impact.

Ashura Doji felt the tremendous force on his sword, gritting his teeth to endure it. But as Zephyr pressed on, he was ultimately forced back dozens of meters.

"Hahaha, Zephyr, why is your strength so much weaker than two years ago!" 

Despite being pushed back and feeling the pain of the impact, Ashura Doji was exhilarated.

Not only was Zephyr weaker than two years ago, but Ashura Doji himself had grown significantly stronger. He was now confident that he could handle an admiral alone!

"Hmph, capturing you is more than enough!"

Zephyr snorted, charging forward.

His strength had indeed waned since retiring to a teaching role, his Haki weakening as his mindset shifted. In another five or six years, he might fall from the ranks of top-tier combatants!

"Hahaha, let's see if you have the skill!" 

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

Ashura Doji laughed, unleashing a massive cross-shaped slash at high speed.

"Arm Cannon!"

With a focused gaze, Zephyr punched forward, his strength blasting the cross slash apart like a true cannon.

With the Navy's three strongest combatants occupied, the other pirates of the Infinite Pirates approached the island and began landing.

Despite the efforts of many captains, the Navy could not stop the Infinite Pirates from landing and could only watch as pirates poured off their ships.

"Meteor Volcano!"

Sakazuki, his fists turning to magma, launched massive magma fists skyward, which rained down upon the pirates.

Though he dared not attack Li Yuan, he had no qualms about targeting other pirates.

Despite his rank of rear admiral, Sakazuki's strength rivaled elite vice admirals, even surpassing them slightly.

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

Despite his casual demeanor, Borsalino ascended into the sky, scattering countless golden beams into the pirate ranks.

The combined area attacks of these two Logia users resembled a natural disaster, inflicting significant casualties among the pirates.

Captain Mari, seeing this, flew into the sky with three pairs of white feathered wings formed from numerous feathers.

"Feather Meteor!"

With a wave, countless feathers turned into white streaks, intercepting the descending beams.

Though feathers appeared soft, they were remarkably tough, blocking the beams that could easily pierce steel.

"Infinite Pirates Captain Mari, a Paramecia Feather Fruit user. How terrifying!" 

Seeing his attack blocked by a mere captain of the Infinite Pirates, Borsalino was surprised, expecting an officer to counter him instead.

"Hmph, Navy, knowing the terror, you should stand still and let me kill you!" 

Mari swiftly approached Borsalino, his wings propelling him quickly.

Meanwhile, the feathers that had blocked the beams now surrounded Borsalino, attempting to constrict him.

"No way, my life is too precious!"

"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

However, faced with Mari's feather assault, Borsalino, unperturbed, kicked a glowing leg toward Mari.

"Bang!!!"

Mari's overlapping feathers formed a sturdy shield, blocking Borsalino's kick, though the force pushed Mari back several meters.

"A Logia user, no wonder you aren't afraid of my feathers!"

Mari was surprised to see his feathers pass harmlessly through Borsalino.

"This captain has some skill!"

Borsalino praised Mari, who had been pushed back but remained unharmed.

"Heh, don't think being a Logia makes you invincible!"

Mari sneered, sending more feathers to surround Borsalino again, attempting to crush him.

This time, the feathers were coated in black Armament Haki.

Mari had followed Li Yuan since joining the Rocks Pirates. Over the years, his strength, though not matching officer Kano, was not far behind!

"How terrifying, Armament Haki!" 

Though Borsalino's tone was flippant, he was serious, knowing Haki could harm Logia users.

He concentrated twin energy beams in his hands, blasting them in one direction, forcing the feathers back.

Simultaneously, Borsalino turned into a beam of light, escaping the feather encirclement.

"Such speed? A light-type Logia, tricky!" 

Seeing Borsalino evade his attack, Mari spoke with caution.

Logia users with such speed were difficult to handle unless they made mistakes. While Mari could fly quickly, he was still slower than Borsalino.

"Zing zing zing zing!!!"

Once free, Borsalino unleashed more laser beams at Mari.

"Feather Meteor!"

Mari quickly redirected his feathers to intercept the incoming beams.

Though slower than Borsalino, Mari's fruit powers and Haki were enough to block the attacks.

At this stage, Borsalino's strength wasn't overwhelming, only slightly above elite vice admirals.

"This guy's Haki is so strong, I can't break his defense!" 

Borsalino thought with frustration after several attempts.

Their battle reache

d a stalemate, neither able to defeat the other.

Meanwhile, as Sakazuki's meteor volcano rained down, a pale blue lightning figure used Moonwalk to ascend into the sky.
