One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 256 Harvest Arrested
The horrifying impact hit the Golden Lion. The powerful domineering aura rushed into his body wantonly, destroying his vitality. His vitality, which had already dissipated rapidly due to the pulling out of the rudder, dissipated at an even faster rate.

but···
"It's not enough! This power is not enough!"

The Golden Lion looked like a madman, with domineering aura surging wildly on the weapon in his hand. When he pulled out the rudder, he had already prepared for a fight to the death. At this moment, he didn't care about the disappearance of his vitality at all, and released all his strength without reservation.

As the golden lion roared, several floating islands around were dragged over directly, and as he swung the weapon in his hand, he pressed down with a terrifying momentum.

"Not enough? How about this?"

Rhodes clenched his fist and threw out another punch.

boom!
Fists slammed into the pressed down island.

"Is this still the case?"

boom!
Another punch hit another island that was flying over.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
The sound of punches rang out one after another. No matter whether the Golden Lion was commanding the island to smash down or swinging the weapon to make a huge flying slash, Rhodes just kept punching one after another.

However, as Rhodes swung his fist, the Golden Lion's face became paler and paler.

The power of each attack from the opponent is stronger than the previous one!
Moreover, there is almost no upper limit!
boom!
A fist smashed into a flying island.

boom! ! !
A terrifying gust of air suddenly erupted, with Rhodes' fist as the center. Everything in front of him was completely destroyed by one punch, and the original island was directly annihilated under the terrifying impact.

After the powerful shock wave penetrated and destroyed the island, it disappeared and directly hit the clouds in the sky. Under such power, the sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds due to the battle here, instantly became clear.

Such power!!

The golden lion looked terrified.

Such power was beyond his imagination.

He is a legendary pirate after all. He has dealt with and fought against the former Rocks, the Pirate King Roger, and Whitebeard and others.

However, no one has ever demonstrated such powerful strength!
This is an absolute and overwhelming force that can crush everything!

but···
“Hahahaha! That’s awesome!! This kind of power is awesome!!”

The golden lion's hair and beard were all standing up, his golden hair was flying in the wind, his eyes were unusually bright, and he laughed loudly at Rhodes.

"With such power, you will definitely not submit to the World Government. I am looking forward to that day, the day when you go to war with the World Government!
This world is too boring. Both Roger and Whitebeard are too cowardly and lack courage. But you are great, kid!
Let's turn this world upside down, overthrow the World Government, and pull the high and mighty Celestial Dragons off their thrones!"

"There will be a day like this."

Rhodes looked at the golden lion.

"But you won't have the chance to see it. Just be my stepping stone to the top!"

The fist grew bigger and bigger in front of the Golden Lion's eyes. The Golden Lion burst out with all his strength, and slashed with the two swords in his hands, pouring all his energy into it.

boom! !

The fist avoided the golden lion's slash, and terrifying power exploded instantly, painting the blue sky with red and yellow.

···
"The Golden Lion was killed!"

On the sea in the distance, Smoker was puffing on his cigar.

He had just arrived at the sea area when he saw the golden lion being smashed to pieces by Rhodes' punch.

His Den Den Mushi, which was communicating with the Navy Headquarters, also sent the relevant information to the Navy Headquarters as soon as possible.

···
"The Golden Lion was killed by Rhodes!"

In Marinford, Zhan Guo took a look at the confidential information sent to him.

“Hahahahaha, that Golden Lion guy was also killed. I still remember how he attacked Marinford!”

On the sofa in front of Sengoku, Garp picked his nose in an ungraceful manner, then wiped it on the clothes that Sengoku had placed on the sofa, and picked up another senbei to eat.

"Yes!"

The scene from that year also flashed through Zhan Guo’s mind.

As the user of the [Float-Float Fruit], if Shiki the Golden Lion is determined to avoid fighting, the navy will have no good means. Perhaps Kizaru can use the power of the fruit to chase him, but the result is hard to say.

If he had not been so impulsive because of the news of Roger's arrest, it would not have been easy to keep the other party even if Sengoku and Garp joined forces.

Who would have thought that such a great pirate would also die at the hands of Tyrant Rod.

Defeat Whitebeard, kill Big Mom, and destroy Golden Lion.

There are also various companies that continue to expand, bringing jobs and daily necessities to many barren islands.

Why does it feel like Tyrant Rod, one of the Shichibukai, cares more about people's livelihood than their navy?
A strange feeling arose in Zhan Guo's heart.

According to his understanding, the Rod Pirates have hardly engaged in any looting since they set sail, and have not had many conflicts with the navy. Instead, they have frequently clashed with many large pirate forces.

Not only that, according to feedback from the Navy's own intelligence agencies, the living standards of ordinary people on the islands governed by Tyrant Rhodes have improved significantly.

What they do is not like pirates at all, they are more positive than their navy.

It's just like...
Revolutionary Army!!!
Zhan Guo was suddenly startled, as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head.

It would have been fine if he hadn't thought of this before, but when he connected Tyrant Rod with the Revolutionary Army, all the unreasonable news he had seen before had reasonable explanations.

No, they are different from the Revolutionary Army.

The revolutionary army led by Dragon will not directly manage and rule. They will only spread their ideas and encourage the people of those countries to take spontaneous actions to resist the existing rule.

As for Tyrant Rhodes, he did not want to save those people, nor did he encourage or teach them to revolt.

He is ruling!
He is seizing the actual ruling power of those places from the hands of the world government.

He wants to establish his own hegemonic rule outside the world government!

"We underestimated him before, Tyrant Fist Rod."

Zhan Guo put down the information in his hand, his expression was solemn and his eyes were complicated.

"That little devil is really powerful!"

Cap continued to eat and drink.

“He was able to defeat Whitebeard, kill Big Mom, and now kill Golden Lion. Almost all the legendary pirates of the old era were defeated by him.

He had escaped from Zefa before and had a battle with me.

If you count carefully, although the kid has not been at sea for a long time, less than two years, he has fought with almost all the famous strong men on the sea, and most importantly, he has never suffered any losses.

Even Roger didn't have such an exaggerated performance back then.

If this kid continues to grow, I think he might become the next Pirate King!"

Although he usually doesn't ask about things, Karp can still distinguish important matters like this.

"The next Pirate King? No, you still underestimate his ambition."

Sengoku looked at his old friend.

"He wants to achieve a new hegemony!"

"Battle Fist Rhodes? Perhaps we should call him [Hegemony] Rhodes."

Thinking back on Rhodes' performance in the past period of time and his expansion of power, Zhan Guo felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Rhodes' power in the New World has already reached the level of the new "Pirate Emperor".

Not only that, the other side also expanded its power to a considerable extent in the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line. If it was just a simple expansion of power, it would be fine. As long as Rod was killed and the main cadres of the Rod Pirate Group were eliminated, their power would be replaced by others in an instant.

However, during the expansion process, the Rod Pirates brought a new life to countless poor people, allowing them to have enough food to eat and good clothes to wear. Those people all had deep gratitude towards the Rod Pirates.

Once the Rod Pirates are liquidated, no one can predict whether large-scale resistance and riots will break out.

“This is getting tricky!”

Zhan Guo organized his thoughts, stood up and walked to the window of the office, looking in the direction of Mary Joa in the distance.

"I don't know how the Five Elders will handle this."

···
Bang! !

A violent explosion sounded, and a figure flashed quickly, and each flash was accompanied by a violent roar.

"Who are you!"

Pei Jin looked grim. He burst out with all his strength, but still couldn't shake off the enemy.

"You'll have a chance to find out."

The opponent used the skilled Six Styles of the Navy and followed closely behind Peikin.

"As for now, please surrender."

The next moment, two more figures flashed out from the side, and the three of them attacked together, surrounding Pei Jin.

"It's the World Government!"

Although the other party did not reveal their identity, their moves have completely exposed their identity.

Apart from the World Government, which other force could possess so many experts in the Six Styles of the Navy?

However, it’s not so easy to catch myself!
Thinking of this, a faint red light flickered on Peikin's body.

This is the ability of his [Explosion-Explosion Fruit], which can turn himself into a powerful bomb. Even a master of physical skills will be killed instantly when facing such a powerful attack!
boom!
A bullet flew from a distance and embedded deeply into Pekin's body, making his body instantly weak and powerless, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Seastone bullets!"

There was a flash of annoyance in Peikin's eyes.

At the same time that Pekin was captured, in other parts of the world, several leaders of the Rod Pirates were attacked and captured by unidentified people.

···
East China Sea
"found it!"

Bakara handed a devil fruit to Rod.

In this battle, Rhodes killed the Golden Lion with a single punch, without giving her a chance to take her time.

Fortunately, Luo's fruit ability was further improved, and he opened a huge "isolation room" in the first time. Bakara's [Lucky Fruit] also played a role. Although Golden Lion's [Floating Fruit] did not regenerate directly in the fruit in their hands, the distance was not far, and under Violet's observation, it was quickly found.

“Goal achieved.”

Rhodes put away the devil fruit and was in a good mood.

Although I don’t know what Vegapunk meant by “the world will sink into the sea”, it will be a good idea to get the devil fruit that represents air supremacy first.

As for who will eat the fruit.

Rhodes glanced at Minina.

The other party is undoubtedly the best candidate.

She is an old member of the pirate group, and she is very talented and has amazing physical fitness. With her physical fitness, she will definitely be able to make good use of the power of this fruit.

However, she herself doesn't really want to become a person with special abilities.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

Rhodes put the matter of the [Float-Float Fruit] aside for the time being, played with the two weapons of the Golden Lion, and then gave [Bokek] and [Sakura Ten] to Zoro.

"You are a three-sword style, right? But except for the Wado Ichimonji, the other two swords are not very good. I will give these two swords to you."

Although Golden Lion was also a great swordsman with strong abilities in all aspects, his weapons could no longer provide Rhodes with more nourishment. Rhodes also knew everything he knew.

In that case, it would be better to give his weapon to the green algae head that was just captured.

"This is a great gift!"

Zoro took the two swords and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He has long wanted to get two good knives!
It was just as Rhodes said. Apart from the Wado Ichimonji sword left to him by Kuina, his other two swords were often damaged. After every battle, he had to find a swordsmith to repair them.

But good knives are too rare!

Besides, it was expensive and he couldn't afford it.

These two swords are the swords of the great swordsman. In terms of quality, they are not inferior to the Wado Ichimonji. With these two swords, he doesn't have to worry about the weapons being damaged in battle.

"I will soon be worthy of the two knives you gave me!"

Zoro stroked the three swords on his waist, feeling very proud for a moment.

Today, he saw that there are always people better than you, and there are always better things than you, and he also saw the peak of the sword path.

His current strength is still too weak. If a mountain is compared to kendo, he is just a beginner at the foot of the mountain.

However, he had already seen the scenery on the top of the mountain, climbed up the mountain path, and had the opportunity to leave the East China Sea and enter stronger waters.

One day, he will climb to the top of the mountain and experience the feeling of being alone at high altitude.

Then, let your name resound throughout the heavens!

“The animals on these islands are very special!”

In the battle with Rhodes, Golden Lion turned most of the islands that rose into the air into weapons and threw them at Rhodes, who then destroyed them one by one with his two iron fists.

In the end, there were only three islands left.

These islands are now being held up by the power of the flame cloud.

And when Luo was searching for the [Piao Piao Fruit] just now, he discovered that the animals on these islands are very special!

They seemed to have undergone some mutation and possessed powers far beyond those of ordinary animals.

"It may be the secret research of Golden Lion."

Rhodes only vaguely remembered that the Golden Lion seemed to be breeding some ferocious animals.

"Let Caesar study it together and see if it can be combined with his research on artificial devil fruits."

Rhodes was looking forward to it. With these mutated animals, would Caesar's artificial devil fruit become more powerful?

"Oh no!"

Just as Rhodes was controlling the flame cloud and carrying the islands towards the new world, Violet suddenly screamed.

"what happened?"

"Pekin, Shaggy, Bepo, Brooke, Gray, Franky!"

Violet's face was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she uttered the names of her companions one by one.

"They've been arrested!"
