Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 53 Big News

An unnamed deserted island.

The salty sea breeze swept across the jagged rocks, bringing no life whatsoever, only stirring up the sand and pebbles, which then lashed against a huge golden bell.

The golden bell emitted a continuous rustling hum. In the distant woods, a squirrel, attracted by the refracted sunlight, curiously approached the bell. It ran and stopped, and after confirming it was safe, it began to circle the bell, occasionally scratching at its surface with its paws and squeaking.

It thought it was a treasure, but it was too big to take with it, so it tried to pry off a piece, but that was even more impossible.

Just then, a hand suddenly reached out from under the Golden Bell, grabbed the bell, and then waved another hand outwards.

"Stop fooling around, go play somewhere else."

"Squeak!"

The squirrel bristled instantly, turned around, and darted into the bushes, disappearing from sight. The golden bell slammed shut again with a bang, and then fell silent.

Inside the bell, Guan Yi, dressed in tattered clothes, lay sprawled out on his back, blinking hard, feeling as if he wanted to lie there forever.

Did I sleep for three days? Or four days?

Anyway, after escaping from Kaido, he forced himself to run back to the deserted island where he had previously trained, and fell asleep while holding the golden bell.

At this moment, his external injuries had mostly healed, but he was still a little hungry because he hadn't eaten. However, the fatigue from using divine intervention and demon-slaying techniques was far from over.

"Get up."

Taking a deep breath, Guan Yi got up, pushed aside the Golden Bell, and went outside, squinting as the sunlight stung his eyes. After a while, he raised his hands to examine them. The torn skin and several bright red blisters made Guan Yi frown.

"No one would believe it if I told them, but the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit was actually burned."

Is plasma a thing that can really be developed, or is it something that the power levels of the One Piece world can reach? If your physical strength can't keep up, and you develop it recklessly, you'll end up cremating yourself one day.

Consider it a trump card for now; it's best to use it sparingly, including relying on divine intervention and demon-slaying.

Exhausted, Guan Yi ventured into the woods and found a lucky giant wild boar. After singeing off its hair and skinning it, he roasted it until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, quickly devouring the massive boar down to its skeleton.

Only then did he feel like he had finally come back to life. He opened the targeted assistance plan and checked his life-saving income for the past few days.

[Hit Value +140]

[Hit Value +364]

[Hit Value +1095]

[Hit Value +31380]

Among the scattered +1 and +2 income, there are four incomes exceeding 100, which should be the life points affected by Guan Yi ringing the bell, Enel being taken away by Kaido, and Guan Yi injuring Kaido.

Guan Yi couldn't distinguish each stroke; he only knew where the largest stroke came from.

By a twist of fate, he caused Nico Robin, the only survivor of Ohara, a historian, an important member of the Straw Hat crew in the story, and capable of translating ancient texts, to be taken away by Kaido!

In the Wano Country arc of the anime, Kaido wanted to capture Robin because he and Big Mom needed a historian to decipher the inscriptions on the Poneglyphs and find the way to Laugh Tale.

Kaido is a true pirate who aspires to become the Pirate King. His acquisition of Robin will have a huge impact on the entire pirate world!
Guan Yi rubbed his throbbing head. The acquisition of this life value didn't make him very happy. If he had known earlier that he could understand the Poneglyphs, he wouldn't have brought Robin to the Sky Island. It was really unlucky that they ran into Kaido.

He felt like he was playing a strategy game, and he accidentally encountered a hidden boss, couldn't defeat it, and also lost the key female NPC.

Besides, Robin isn't an NPC. Although we haven't had much contact with her, she's still a pretty and vibrant woman.

"I need to go to Wano Country."

You have to deal with the problems you caused yourself.

But we can't go now; going now would be like delivering food to Kaido. We need to improve further, until we can withstand a few more of Kaido's blows!
[Wealth: 0]

[Life Points: 66985]

[To initiate the ninth practical sparring session, you need 5 million Berries and 50000 Life Points.]

My life points are enough, but my money is gone.

While playing a chase with Kaido, Guan Yi completely forgot about the more than 200 million Berries in his pocket; they were all burned to ashes, including Ryuma's famous sword, Shusui. Time to sell the Golden Bell!
Gold also has a high value in the world of One Piece. This golden bell, weighing several tens of tons, should be worth hundreds of billions of Berries according to the exchange rate!
Some small countries have about this much gold reserves, so it's impossible to sell the entire Golden Bell at once. Even auction houses in the Sabaody Archipelago would have difficulty handling it and could only melt down a few hundred pounds to process in batches.

Sorry, Shandians.

A moment later, Guan Yi melted a small piece off the tongue of the golden bell and used Moonwalk to shoot it towards the nearby bustling island, selling it piece by piece.

After circling three islands and visiting dozens of gold shops of all sizes, it took a full day to finally find enough merchants to buy the more than 200 kilograms of gold, which they exchanged for more than 600 million berries.

Of course, it did attract some covetousness during this period, but that was easy for Guan Yi to handle.

Just as he had purchased enough supplies and was preparing to return to the deserted island to begin his ninth practical training exercise, the point-to-point assistance plan was suddenly opened again, and a series of life value gains jumped out rapidly.

[Hit Value +1]

[Hit Value +3]

In a short time, dozens of them appeared.

Guan Yi's heart skipped a beat; she had a familiar feeling of déjà vu. The last time she had this kind of experience was...

On his way back, he used his Observation Haki to capture and intercept a news bird that was delivering a newspaper, and bought a copy of the news from its claws.

The Four Emperors Clash! The Seven Warlords' Nemesis, Ian the Tiger, Reappears, Aiming for the Throne of the Sea!

"..."

Guan Yi was stunned for a long time.

Morgans, why don't you go work for UC's shocking news department? Wait, this news might be...

……

Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

Sengoku is meeting with Jeygolucia Satan, the scientific defense god among the Five Elders.

He was somewhat agitated: "Lord Satan, why did you instruct Morgans to release such false news?!"

Saint Satan remained calm and said, "Untrue? What's untrue about it? Wasn't the intelligence relayed by Borsalino? He personally witnessed Kaido of the Beasts fighting Ian of the Flame Tiger, spitting blood, didn't he?"

“But that’s because…” Zhan Guo paused mid-sentence, looking at Satan Saint with a hint of understanding.

Satan snorted and said, "Morgans is a disobedient fellow. If it's completely fake news, he probably won't do it completely."

Regardless, Ian the Tiger did indeed engage in a fierce battle with Kaido of the Beasts, wounding him and allowing him to escape successfully. Everything reported in the newspapers is true. Since he's lowered the reputation of the Seven Warlords to this level, he'll be responsible for lowering the reputation of the Four Emperors as well!

"Moreover..." Satan Saint's tone darkened, "A guy who can fight Kaido and escape alive has already begun to possess the ability to influence the balance of power on the seas. But he is neither a member of the World Government nor a pirate. No one can predict what he wants to do."

We cannot tolerate his reckless behavior. Can you be sure his next target won't be Doflamingo, Tesoro, or even Hawkeye?

Such free spirits are not allowed to exist on this vast ocean!
Sengoku said, "But aren't you worried that such actions will be noticed by him and force him to join the ranks of pirates? Judging from the 'logistics company' he established in the East Blue, he doesn't seem like a villain."

"What does it matter? Because of that damned Gol D. Roger, the seas are already in such chaos, are we afraid of having one more pirate wanted?!" Satan Saint sneered. "Sengoku, if you don't want that to happen, invite him to become a Marine, or give him a Shichibukai position before that happens!"

The Warring States stood there for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

"Yes, I understand."

……

"Whether it's the World Government or Morgans, thank you both in advance."

Guan Yi tore up the newspaper in his hand that described him as someone who could punch Kaido, letting the scraps drift into the sea with the wind, and silently thought to himself.

He certainly understood one principle: if people say you have powerful backers, you'd better actually have them. Similarly, if people say you have the ability to fight a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea), you'd better actually have them!
On this vast ocean, heroes are as numerous as the river's flow, and there are far too many who aspire to fame. The release of this news will undoubtedly stir up huge waves at sea, bringing him much trouble, hostility, fear, challenges, conspiracies, traps, or all sorts of evil schemes.

But... these actions against him will also subtly influence the fate of the secret realm. Let the life points surge even more fiercely, and everything will become nourishment for my improvement!
Back on the deserted island, Guan Yi unleashed his Conqueror's Haki with abandon. After his battle with Kaido, the intensity of his Conqueror's Haki had significantly increased, and he no longer needed to rely on the Tiger Form to unleash it.

He will ride the wind and become stronger.

Gensai Kuroki, come here!
