Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 7 Testing the Fist
Iron Rod Alvida!

That fat pirate who captured Coby and enslaved him, was the first one Luffy knocked away when he set sail, and later ate the Smooth-Smooth Fruit and became a beautiful woman!

As the opening chapter of One Piece, Alvida doesn't appear much later on, yet her shadow is everywhere—Kaido uses the same spiked club as her, Big Mom has a similar plus-size figure, and Boa Hancock, like her, likes to boast about her beauty. However, while Boa Hancock is truly beautiful, the fat Alvida is a bit abstract.

It's no wonder Guan Yi didn't recognize her at first glance. It was the year 1515 of the Sea Calendar, five years before Luffy set sail. Alvida was only about twenty years old, not as bloated, and didn't have as many freckles. She was somewhere between a thin and a fat version.

Clearly, she hasn't yet set sail to become a pirate. Instead, she's the boss of the docks in this small town of Sicico, where she has established a labor force organization that rivals the Wild Boar Gang—the Iron Rod Gang.

Guan Yi never expected that the leader of the Iron Rod Gang would be such a tough guy. For a moment, he forgot all the words he had prepared and remained silent for a few seconds.

Alvida cupped her cheeks, looking a little shy, and said, "I know I'm very beautiful, but don't stare at me like that."

"..."

Guan Yi almost went blind.

Standing at two meters tall and weighing 250-260 kilograms, she wouldn't be considered extremely fat, but she was certainly quite plump.

You should know that once a person gains weight, being handsome or beautiful becomes irrelevant.

Alvida can actually be shy and coquettish like this, who can resist that?
"That... Iron Rod Boss..."

Guan Yi tried to explain his purpose, but Alvida was completely absorbed in her own world. She laughed loudly for a few moments, then suddenly turned to her henchman on the right and asked, "Keck, who is the most beautiful woman in the whole town of Sicicono?"

Without hesitation, as if without thinking, Keck said, "Of course it's you, boss! You're not only the most beautiful woman in the town of Sicico, but also the most beautiful woman in the entire Konomie Islands, and even the most beautiful woman in the whole ocean!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

With a satisfied look, Alvida turned her gaze back to Guan Yi. "It's your turn. Come on."

Praise my beauty, man!

Faced with Alvida's longing gaze, Guan Yi remained silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

I shouldn't have come.

The Wild Boar Gang wanted his money.

The Iron Rod Gang wants his dignity?!
In some situations, dignity is worthless compared to money, but once a person gains ability, they inexplicably start to value dignity highly.

“Boss Iron Rod, you have regular features and a full forehead. If you could lose weight, you would definitely be a rare beauty,” he said carefully.

"...Hmm?" Alvida's smile froze, and a suffocating atmosphere instantly filled the warehouse. "Ian, are you saying... I'm not beautiful right now?"

Inside the warehouse, Alvida's eight henchmen immediately showed expressions of tension.

Guan Yi carefully considered the wording.

"Well, how should I put it, you... um..."

Never mind, I can't bring myself to praise you.

Start fighting right away.

Guan Yi gave up and said helplessly, "Yes, that's right. To put it bluntly, you are a bit ugly."

The truth is the most hurtful.

"Ah~!" Alvida's underlings gaped in disbelief, their mouths wide enough to fit two fists, their jaws seemingly nonexistent.

What makes him so brave?!

Alvida was struck dumb.

My family members, who understands? It was an ordinary, beautiful night. I was lying peacefully in my own space when suddenly a man came in and said I was ugly.

Following a similar emotional journey, Alvida's face darkened completely.

She suddenly stood up, and as the sofa beneath her slowly bounced back, she picked up the spiked club that was standing next to her.

"Beat this bastard to a pulp!" "Yes, sir!" The underlings, already anticipating what was to come, silently mourned for Guan Yi and charged forward in response.

The person closest to Guan Yi was the gatekeeper who had brought him in. He was clearly an expert in fighting, and he raised his leg and kicked Guan Yi hard in the back of the knee.

Guan Yi seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He didn't see the foot lift, but he saw the person move to the side and dodged the kick with great precision. Without turning his head, he raised his elbow to strike from behind.

With a heavy thud, the doorman, who had missed his kick and was leaning forward, had his chin hit Guan Yi's elbow. The combined force sent his eyes rolling back and him flying through the air, falling asleep in a second!
"..."

This fierce attack slightly slowed down Alvida's other seven henchmen, but their numerical advantage quickly gave them courage.

Keck, the underling who had previously praised Alvida, took the lead, wielding a wooden stick and preparing to smash it hard on Guan Yi's head from the front.

The next moment, the look of Guan Yi in front of him changed.

It seemed to transform from a human into a fierce tiger, letting out an invisible roar that shattered his courage.

'Roar!'

That roar was devastating.

In a moment of distraction, he didn't have time to see Guan Yi's movements clearly. With a tiger pounce, his body flew backward in an arc, breaking several ribs in his chest. He crashed into two teammates behind him, still not losing momentum, and tumbled to the ground with them, groaning in pain.

Xingyi, Tiger Form!
After this swift and fierce attack, Guan Yi slightly hunched his chest, arched his back like a bear, and lowered his entire body's strength, concentrating a mountain-moving force to protect his abdomen!
Snapped--

A wooden crate was thrown into the air and slammed into Guan Yi's back, but Guan Yi remained unshaken, letting the crate shatter and splinters fly, then turned and unleashed a powerful punch, knocking out another person with a single blow!
Xingyi (形意), Bear Form!
In just a few seconds, five of Alvida's eight henchmen fell to the ground, and the remaining three were so terrified that they dared not advance, sticks in hand.

Alvida finally lost her temper, roared, and charged forward like a tank, swinging her spiked club fiercely towards Guan Yi's head. Her massive body brought astonishing power; the moment the club swung, a whistling wind cut through the air, its momentum terrifying.

Guan Yi remained calm and composed, neither blocking nor attempting to withstand the blow. He simply tilted his head to the side, his entire body seemingly weightless, and floated backward with the force of the club's movement. The massive spiked club narrowly missed his nose.

Its movements were incredibly light, like a leaf or a piece of thin paper being blown by a gust of wind!
Xingyi (a form of Chinese martial arts), monkey form!
Taking advantage of Alvida's weakened state, Guan Yi suddenly lunged forward with a half-step crushing punch!
bang——

The blow landed squarely on Alvida's face, causing it to cave in.

Alvida staggered backward, her face a mess of blood and tears streaming down her cheeks. After using her spiked club to steady herself, she let out a desperate wail.

“No~!”

"My beauty! How dare you... how dare you... I'll kill you!"

See, knowing that a smeared face makes you ugly shows you have a normal sense of aesthetics, right? If you want to be pretty, find a way to lose weight. What's the point of pointing a spiked club at someone and asking them questions?!

Guan Yi shrank back, like a startled monkey, and curled up into a ball to dodge the swinging spiked club. Then he reached out with his right hand as a claw.

Xingyi, Eagle Form!
Swah——

With a slash of its talons, the eagle tore three deep, bloody gashes into Alvida's right arm.

"what!"

In excruciating pain, Alvida's spiked club slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground. Guan Yi, without hesitation, transformed into a tiger and swiftly crashed into her arms!
thump—

With the added weight, the punches pierced through the fat layer, causing Alvida to cough up blood. Five more punches followed, gradually lifting her massive body off the ground and sending her flying!
When she fell unconscious to the ground, the entire warehouse fell into a deathly silence.

Guan Yi withdrew his move and stood still.

Besides sparring with his senior brothers and sisters, he was very satisfied with the results of his first real combat experience with Xingyi Quan. He was able to defeat Alvida, even before she set sail, so pirates with bounties of three to five million should not be a big problem.

So next...

What am I here for?
