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

Due to the relaxed rules this time compared to the past, two-thirds of the members were retained!

It's worth noting that in the previous recruitment, only half remained, and the one before that left only forty percent.

As time has gone on and the Rocks Pirates have grown stronger, the entry barrier has become progressively lower.

"Kill!!!"

"Die for me!!!"

"Hahaha, I'm going to become a member of the Rocks Pirates."

"Break them, die for me!!"

For pirates eager to join the Rocks Pirates, Rocks' words were undoubtedly a blessing, as it made joining the crew much easier.

The entire scene of over thirty thousand pirates erupted into fierce battles instantly, with all sorts of schemes and backstabbing, showcasing the worst of pirate nature.

"Jiehahahaha, war is about to begin. We need more cannon fodder. Only those who survive the baptism of war are qualified to become true members of the Rocks Pirates."

The Golden Lion laughed heartily as he watched the chaos below.

He never believed that those low-level pirates could stand on the same ship as him.

"So, it's cannon fodder, huh? Indeed, a lot of cannon fodder is needed."

Hearing the Golden Lion, Li Yuan understood what was going on. Compared to the Navy, the World Government, and the kingdoms, the visible forces of the Rocks Pirates were just under fifty thousand.

Now that the Rocks Pirates have essentially declared war on the World Government, they need a large amount of cannon fodder for the upcoming conflict. Lowering the entry bar for joining the Rocks Pirates was to recruit more cannon fodder.

This indicated that Rocks could no longer hold back, as conflicts with the World Government and Navy intensified, leading to an inevitable major battle.

Apart from Whitebeard, who was uninterested in the recruitment slaughter, the other pirates watched with great interest.

They were also scouting for any promising talents or monsters like Li Yuan.

The entire recruitment battle lasted for three hours, leaving only twenty thousand out of the thirty thousand plus.

The corpses of over ten thousand lay on the ground, rivers of blood flowing, and those pirates still standing looked terrifyingly fierce.

The scale of this massacre and death toll was the most shocking in years.

This made spies from various global forces on Beehive Island acutely aware of the viciousness and cruelty of the Rocks Pirates.

"Wahahahaha, brats, welcome to the Rocks Pirates!!!"

"Do you want to become officers in the Rocks Pirates?"

Rocks shouted to the twenty thousand new pirates still alive.

"Yes!!!"

"I want to be an officer!!"

"Captain Rocks, I want to be an officer in the Rocks Pirates!!!"

Hearing Rocks' words, the newcomers who had just survived the slaughter shouted, thinking they were receiving benefits.

Rocks' words tapped into the dreams of many pirates. Who among those joining the Rocks Pirates didn't have ambition?

"Wahahahaha, see the officers present? If you want to become an officer in the Rocks Pirates, defeat any one of these officers, or draw with one, and you'll become an officer!"

These were the same words Rocks had once said to Li Yuan, who became an officer through this method.

Upon hearing this, the two thousand newcomers all turned their eyes to the officers of the Rocks Pirates.

Whitebeard closed his eyes, ignoring the crowd, but his aura was so overwhelming that no one dared challenge him.

The Golden Lion exuded a fierce sword intent, deterring challenges.

Charlotte Linlin continued eating cake, paying no attention to the pirates, who knew her monstrous strength and dared not challenge her.

Wang Zhi and Silver Axe were also not to be trifled with.

Eventually, the newcomers focused on Li Yuan and John.

Li Yuan had become an officer by drawing with John, so many targeted John.

As for Li Yuan, even though he had defeated former Admiral Zhi Kai, who was a retired old man, it didn't deter the ambitious pirates. They, confident by nature, thought, "If he can do it, so can I."

"I want to challenge Li Yuan!!!"

"I want to challenge John!!!"

The New World pirates, abundant in fools, quickly saw over three hundred step forward to prove themselves, choosing Li Yuan and John.

Over two hundred picked Li Yuan, and around a hundred chose John as their opponent.

Li Yuan had no patience for those foolish enough to challenge him.

"Hmph, don't waste my time. Those who want to challenge me, come at once."

In an instant, Li Yuan appeared before the pirates, sword in hand, his gaze icy as he faced them.

Since Li Yuan said so, those pirates, not individuals for personal honor, naturally attacked together.

"Kill!!!!"

Over two hundred new pirates charged with their swords, their ambition unbroken despite their exhaustion.

They hoped to wear Li Yuan down with their numbers, thinking if they could last a day, Rocks might notice them, and they might become officers like Li Yuan.

Thus, they spread out, attempting to encircle Li Yuan from all sides.

Li Yuan cared little for their tactics. As they surrounded him and charged, his gaze sharpened, like sword eyes, piercingly intense.

"Infinite Circular Slash!!!"

His long sword swept horizontally, slicing from left to right, then with a turn, from right to left, creating a perfect 360-degree slash.

The circular slash, centered on Li Yuan, spread rapidly.

"Slash!!!"

"Crack!!!"

The Circular Slash was too fast, too sharp, and the pirates' weapons and bodies couldn't withstand its force.

Wherever the slash went, all pirate weapons and bodies were severed, whether in the front or back rows, all were slashed by Li Yuan's single stroke.
