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

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Kaido vs. Gecko Moria



"Congratulations, Lord Li Yuan, for fully mastering the King's Fist!"

Elisavero II, having recovered from the aftershocks of the mighty King's Fist, quickly began flattering Li Yuan.

"The King's Fist is quite impressive, and so are you. This is a gravity bracelet as a reward for teaching me the King's Fist. If you ever run into trouble, feel free to seek help from the Infinite Sea, and I'll have someone assist you."

Li Yuan handed Elisavero II a gravity bracelet. Although he was a pirate, he wasn't the type to simply pillage. Besides, Elisavero II was technically under his command.

"Thank you, Lord Li Yuan!" Elisavero II said joyfully. The gravity bracelet was a great tool—it could control gravity, a useful aid for physical training. Only high-ranking officers of major pirate crews in the New World would possess such an item.

"My husband, now that you've mastered the King's Fist, should we head back?" Yadina asked, coming over and linking her arm with Li Yuan's.

"No hurry. Let's stay here for a few more days before heading back."

Seeing the reluctance in Yadina's eyes, Li Yuan knew she wasn't ready to leave yet and wanted to enjoy a few more days here.

"My husband, you're so wonderful!" 

Hearing Li Yuan's response, Yadina happily kissed him on the cheek without any hesitation, even in front of Elisavero II and his son. It was clear that the shy and innocent witch of the past was long gone.

The territory that had originally belonged to the World Government's Volder was now largely occupied by the Beast Pirates, with only small portions taken over by other pirate groups entering the New World.

A figure with a spiky, fire-like hair and demonic features, wearing a bat-collared shirt and Gothic-style attire, led his zombie army and subordinates toward the headquarters of the Beast Pirates.

This person was none other than Gecko Moria, a new pirate who had entered the New World and taken over a part of Volder's territory.

"Hehehe, as long as I defeat Kaido of the Beast Pirates and Crocodile with his Sand-Sand Fruit, this territory will be mine!" 

Gecko Moria grinned as he imagined his future.

"Boss is right! Once we defeat those two, we'll be the biggest pirate crew in the New World. Then we'll take down Lord Li Yuan of the Infinite Pirates and the Golden Lion of the Flying Sky Pirates. We'll become the legendary pirate crew and find the treasure left behind by Pirate King Roger. Then, boss will become the new Pirate King!" 

Willow Kagura, one of Gecko Moria's subordinates, said with great admiration.

They had fought their way through the seas and had already taken over a significant portion of land in the New World. Their confidence was at an all-time high. Whoever stood in their way would be defeated, and they were determined to reach the Pirate King's throne.

"Hehehe, Willow Kagura, you're right! I, Gecko Moria, am going to become the Pirate King!" 

Gecko Moria relished the praise, his jagged grin seeming to envision himself as the Pirate King already.

"Boom boom!!!"

The loud sound of footsteps reached them from the distance, and Gecko Moria and his crew turned to look.

"It's the Beast Pirates, Kaido and them are here!" 

Gecko Moria quickly spotted Kaido in the front, who, like him, had horns on his head and was over seven meters tall, with the bloodline of the Oni race.

"Hahaha, boss, the Beast Pirates came just in time, no need for us to look for them!" 

Willow Kagura said excitedly.

"Hehehe, leave Kaido to me, and you guys handle the others!!"

Gecko Moria charged forward with a massive sword in hand, his nearly seven-meter frame matching Kaido's.

"Kaido, die!!"

Gecko Moria shouted as he rushed towards Kaido, swinging his hardened black-coated sword with the power of Conqueror's Haki aimed straight at Kaido's head.

"Ughhhh! Gecko Moria, do you think you can fight me for territory?" 

Kaido laughed as he swung his spiked club, also enhanced with Armament Haki, and swung it at Moria.

"Bang!!!!"

When their weapons collided, the shockwaves spread out violently, and the two were knocked back, each by their own forces after only a brief moment of standoff.

"Hehehe, no wonder you have the same bloodline as me—your strength is immense. But power alone won't do!"

"Shadow Slash!!"

As Gecko Moria raised his sword, a massive amount of shadow energy gathered on it, and with a swift swing, a black shadow blade hundreds of meters long sped toward Kaido.

"Ughhh, don't think you're the only one with Devil Fruit powers. I've got mine too!"

Kaido said as he transformed into his human-dragon form.

"Thunder Bagua!"

With immense force, Kaido swiftly dodged Gecko Moria's shadow slash, and a surge of lightning power flowed into his club, which he sent charging toward Gecko Moria at breakneck speed.

"What?! How can he be so fast?!"

Gecko Moria was caught off guard by Kaido's speed. Without any time to react, he could only block with his sword.

"Bang!!!"

Kaido's overwhelming power sent Gecko Moria's sword crashing into his own body, sending him flying over a hundred meters.

"Dammit Kaido, die!!"

"Shadow Spear!!"

Spitting blood and raging with anger, Gecko Moria's terrifying shadow power surged, and the shadow behind Kaido transformed into a massive spear, stabbing toward Kaido's heart.

"Harden!"

Kaido immediately sensed the threat behind him and shifted his body, using Armament Haki to block the attack.

But the shadow spear's penetration power was too strong. Even with Kaido's dual defenses—Armament Haki and dragon scales—the spear pierced through.

However, by now, the shadow spear had lost most of its strength. It only pierced Kaido's body by five centimeters before being stopped by his bones.

"Thunder Bagua!"

As Kaido enveloped himself in a massive surge of lightning, his speed became even faster, and a streak of lightning shot toward Moria.

"Shadow Warrior!!"

Seeing that his ability had failed to heavily injure Kaido, Gecko Moria's pupils contracted. He immediately switched places with a shadow he had previously created at a distance.
