Li Yuan had just intended to continue pursuing Ivanov when a flash of blood-red lightning flickered in his eyes, and he saw a vision of the future!
"Die for me!"
"Shatter the Void!"
The Aima jiang, who had initially been cut down by Li Yuan, soared back up again. As he was still over a hundred meters away from Li Yuan, he furiously gathered all his shattering power into his left fist and then hurled a punch at Li Yuan from afar.
He knew his speed was insufficient; if he continued to attack with single punches like before, he would surely be injured by Li Yuan again or have his attacks dodged. Thus, he no longer cared about his stamina and directly unleashed the full power of his Devil Fruit for a wide-area attack! At the moment Aima jiang threw his punch, Li Yuan felt that terrifying shattering force aimed to crush everything within a radius of several dozen meters around him.
"Blood Armor!"
Understanding the principle behind Aima jiang's move, a massive amount of blood surged from the Seven Star Sword, enveloping Li Yuan and forming a solid blood armor that covered him from all angles.
Moreover, Armament Haki simultaneously coated the blood armor, ultimately forming a set of dark red armor that encased Li Yuan completely.
Clad in blood armor, Li Yuan charged directly toward Aima jiang, disregarding the damage from the surrounding shattering force.
"How is this possible!"
Aima jiang was astonished to see that his shattering power, which could even create cracks in space, failed to completely shatter the temporary armor Li Yuan had created when it struck him from all directions.
Even if his shattering power could break some parts of Li Yuan's armor, it couldn't even harm Li Yuan's skin. Furthermore, the damaged armor was continuously repaired by the blood that kept flowing in!
"There is nothing impossible in this world; if there is, it's because you are too weak!"
Li Yuan scoffed.
Bursting out of the shattering space, Li Yuan instantly appeared in front of Aima jiang, the Seven Star Sword radiating dark red light and lightning as it ruthlessly swung down.
"Not good!"
Aima jiang instinctively raised his arms, covered in Haki, to shield his head.
"Crack!!!"
The overwhelming force crashed down on Aima jiang's hands like a mountain, causing him to feel intense pain in his arms, accompanied by the distinct sound of bones breaking ringing in his ears.
The immense power pressed his hands down onto his head, and that peculiar force struck through his arms directly into his skull, making him feel as if he had suffered a severe concussion.
Blood streamed from his eyes and nose due to that force.
Once again, Aima jiang was cleaved down from the sky by Li Yuan like a meteor.
This time, as he watched Aima jiang fall, Li Yuan did not pursue him, for Garp and Ivanov had already flown up from below.
In the air, Li Yuan faced three opponents, forcefully suppressing the three top-tier fighters. Even when united, these three top-tier fighters could not inflict a single scratch on Li Yuan. They fell from the sky like shooting stars, each one injured but gritting their teeth as they continued to ascend, trying to hold Li Yuan back! The battle Li Yuan was engaged in drew the attention of nearly all the top-tier fighters on the battlefield. They witnessed that even when Garp and the other two top-tier fighters teamed up, they were still being overwhelmed by Li Yuan.
The World Government's side wore a terrifyingly grim expression, filled with deep apprehension toward Li Yuan. A being with such power was undoubtedly the most frightening threat to the World Government!
The pirates, upon seeing Li Yuan's might, felt a similar trepidation, except for the members of the Infinite Pirates. After all, they had known Li Yuan was powerful, even stronger than the awakened Whitebeard with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but they never expected him to become even stronger now. Despite being a pirate himself, Li Yuan still instilled fear in them.
However, upon reflection, the pirates' apprehension temporarily faded. After all, they were in an alliance; the stronger Li Yuan became, the more advantageous it was for them.
As long as they defeated the World Government, all the territories they had seized in the South Sea would belong to them!
"Fufufufu, that is the world's most powerful force; it's becoming increasingly terrifying! Even the strongest Marine, Garp, along with two top-tier fighters, cannot suppress him. This world is about to be shattered by him!"
Doflamingo looked up at the battlefield where Li Yuan was and burst into wild laughter, then joined the massive battle.
However, he quietly distanced himself from the Infinite Pirates' position and sought out a subordinate of Wang Zhi to challenge him one-on-one.
"Hehehe, Kaido, even if I can't kill you this time, I will make sure to wipe out all your subordinates, letting you experience the agony of watching them die before your eyes!"
Gekko Moria observed the fierce battle between Kaido and Akainu, refraining from recklessly intervening, and instead charged toward the Beasts Pirates.
"Is there really a pinnacle in the way of the sword, to the point where you can no longer grow stronger in swordsmanship, which is why you chose the power of the Devil Fruit?"
Hawkeye Mihawk stared intently at Li Yuan, who was battling in the sky. Initially, Li Yuan had defeated the awakened Whitebeard using his swordsmanship, becoming the strongest man in the world.
At that time, Li Yuan was the most powerful swordsman in Hawkeye's eyes, representing the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the world.
However, upon learning that Li Yuan had consumed a Devil Fruit, Hawkeye speculated that in Li Yuan's view, his swordsmanship had reached its peak, preventing him from growing stronger, which was why he chose to eat the Devil Fruit to enhance his power!
Now, as Hawkeye observed, after consuming the Devil Fruit, Li Yuan's strength was no longer limited to swordsmanship; he also wielded the strange powers of the Devil Fruit, making him even stronger on the foundation of being the world's strongest!
"The way of the sword has no pinnacle; what I pursue is the ultimate swordsmanship!"
Hawkeye withdrew his gaze, resolutely reaffirming his conviction deep within. He would never consume a Devil Fruit; he would always believe in the sword in his hand!
"The great Swordmaster of the Whitebeard Pirates, Vista!"
With that, Hawkeye joined the battlefield, blocking Vista of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Hawkeye Mihawk, you participated in the World Swordsmanship Competition five years ago, but unfortunately, we didn't meet. Now is the perfect time to compare!"
Upon facing Hawkeye, Vista's eyes lit up, for he was a renowned great Swordmaster.
"Then let's do it!"
Hawkeye's sharp gaze locked onto Vista as he drew the supreme blade, Night, from his back!
