Pirate: It's reasonable for me to simulate a Super Saiyan, right?

If you want to enter the Grand Line, just bribe them.

If Yang Hao could really make a fortune from the five major gangs, he wouldn't mind giving some of it to Colonel Yellen.

The problem is, Yang Hao's money isn't so easy to get.

To some extent, Yang Hao is also a money-grubber.

He wouldn't be willing to pay this amount if the other party wasn't strong enough.

When the time comes, just launch it directly.

Of course, a naval captain who can guard the key points of the Grand Line must be quite capable.

Even if he's not as good as Smoker from Loguetown in the East Blue, he shouldn't be too much weaker.

These are things that Yang Hao can only confirm by continuing to investigate.

Next, Yang Hao calculated the last of his money and found that he still had more than two million Berries, so he continued the simulation.

He felt that the intelligence obtained from a single simulation was not yet reliable.

We need to continue investigating.

Moreover, it's not about the big picture, but requires more details.

For example, is Capone Becky currently in Fall Valley?

For example, how capable is Colonel Yellen?

These are all pieces of intelligence that need to be carefully verified so that Yang Hao can formulate the most suitable money-making plan based on them.

that's it.

Once, twice, three times.

Soon, Yang Hao conducted three more simulations.

In the second simulation, Yang Hao gathered even more intelligence.

For example, Capone Becky is indeed in Fall Valley.

In the subsequent two simulations, Yang Hao personally went to verify the intelligence.

The main purpose is to verify information about the five major gangs.

After some verification and investigation, Yang Hao was surprised to discover a major piece of information.

That is, the conflict between the five major gangs has become clear.

This situation is still related to Capone Becky.

It turns out that Capone Becky does indeed want to replace the current leader and become the new leader of the Capone family.

However, after killing the current leader, he was busy conquering various important branches.

At this very moment, the other four major gangs began to seize Capone's territory.

Capone Becky realized that even if he gained control of the Capone family, his power would be greatly reduced after all this trouble, so he decided to go all out and challenge the four major gangs!

He actually issued a challenge, challenging the four major gangs.

No, with the Capone family's influence, Capone Bege is taking on five opponents at once!

He single-handedly challenges the five major gangs of the West Sea!

Upon learning this information, Yang Hao was astonished.

But he quickly came to terms with it.

After all, he originally thought that Capone Bege had entered the Grand Line by unifying the West Blue underworld.

And now, it's just confirming his speculation.

Given Capone Becky's posthumous circumstances and his power, the outcome of this challenge was already self-evident.

But this challenge, whose outcome was already predetermined, suddenly excited Yang Hao.

Because he suddenly realized that this was a great opportunity to make money!

The only problem now is with Captain Yellen.

You should either pay me or transfer the money over...

Yang Hao still intends to find the answer to this question through simulation.

Chapter 41 Navy Captain Yellen, Half-Step Swordsman

041 Navy Captain Yellen, a half-step swordsman

Upon arriving at Autumn Valley Island, you didn't bring your men ashore, but instead waited on the sea.

Time flew by, night fell, and after a rare half-day of rest, you, refreshed and ready to act, quietly went into the sea alone without alerting any of your subordinates.

The purpose of doing this, of course, is to avoid attracting attention and avoid being noticed by anyone. You know very well that you are already quite famous in the West Blue, and approaching the coast rashly would likely attract the attention of the town's powers. Whether it's the mafia, the navy, or other pirates, you don't want to be discovered by any of them. Your plan is to hide, strike decisively at the right moment, and then quickly escape!

[However, your immediate goal is to personally assess Navy Captain Yellen's strength. Once at sea, you immediately entered your human-beast form and activated your lung enhancements. A distance that would normally take a ship over half an hour to reach the shore was traversed by you in just a few minutes.]

Upon arriving here, you'll quickly spot a large number of ships anchored along the shore. Autumn Valley Town truly lives up to its reputation as the most important gateway town in the Western Sea; the sheer number of ships speaks volumes about its prosperity.

You didn't make a sound, but sank into the sea, searching for a quiet place to reach the shore.

After a while, you finally found a secluded spot, but it was extremely remote and situated on a cliff face.

"No wonder there's no one here," you murmured, but without stopping, you leaped up and climbed directly towards the cliff edge overlooking the sea.

The moment you emerged from the seawater, your enhancement shifted from your lungs to your arms, and this time, the enhancement was focused on your hands.

In an instant, the muscles in your hands tensed, and ten sharp fingernails suddenly sprang out from your fingers. With a soft "thud," your fingernails pierced the hard cliff face. Seeing this, a smile played on your lips; you weren't surprised. Then, with agile movements, you climbed upwards. The several-dozen-meter cliff was like flat ground to you; you reached the top in no time. As expected, there was no one on the cliff. Smiling, you then transformed your enhanced legs, becoming a golden blur, and flew away.

Moments later, you arrived silently in Autumn Valley Town and entered the Marine branch.

Your idea is to bypass the Navy and go directly to Captain Yellen here.

Unfortunately, your first time entering the naval branch, you were quickly detected by the surveillance Den Den Mushi, alarms suddenly went off, and naval personnel began pouring out from all directions.

"Who are you!" "Why are you trespassing on the Navy headquarters!" Shouts rang out as more and more Navy personnel arrived. You exhaled a breath of stale air, and your leg enhancements instantly switched to arm enhancements.

[This first incursion into a naval branch didn't surprise you. Since you can't find Yellen directly, you might as well take out some naval personnel first. With this idea in mind, you immediately activated Unlimited Firepower!]

Like a hail of bullets, rocks rained down from your hand, stunning the newly arrived navy soldiers. One or two junior officers fell amidst the flying rocks!

These stones were more powerful than bullets, causing some damage to the surrounding buildings.

[You've killed dozens of people, but the navy continues to pour in, and they've started pointing their muskets and pistols at you.]

[Bang bang bang!!! Soon, the Navy launched a counterattack. You rolled on the spot, entered fur-enhanced mode, and with the momentum, transformed into a large fur ball, rolling towards the Navy like a human bomb.]

The navy was thrown into chaos as you charged into the crowd. Some of the navy soldiers hesitated to fire, and taking advantage of this opportunity, you nimbly reverted to your beast form, unleashing a roar with enhanced lung capacity!

The roar created a sonic wave that swept outwards, instantly causing nearby marines to scream and fall. The surrounding marines also showed signs of pain. This attack shook the entire naval branch. In the midst of the silence, an unusual figure swiftly approached, a flash of cold light suddenly slashing towards you.

[Your gaze sharpens, and you swiftly retreat, your leg enhanced. With a whoosh, the cold light misses its target, and a long-haired figure appears before you, wielding a longsword. His naval uniform is exceptionally imposing. It is none other than your target, Navy Captain Yellen, nicknamed "The Money-Grubber"!]

"Ferocious Ape Yang Hao!?" "Why did you attack our branch!?" Yellen clearly recognized you, his brow furrowed. You grinned, and without a word, your arm bulged as you unleashed an unstoppable barrage of fire at Yellen!

[Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A large number of stones shot out, but this time, it didn't have the desired effect. Yellen wielded her longsword and precisely cut through all the stones!]

You immediately realized that Yellen's swordsmanship was quite remarkable, but you couldn't determine its exact level. Seeing that the stone-throwing technique was ineffective, you switched to another method of attack!

Grabbing the giant club on your back, you transformed into your beast form and pounced on Yellen, intending to test her swordsmanship skills in close combat!

[Clang, clang, clang! The giant club swung around, forcing Yellen to retreat step by step. Yellen's swordsmanship was not bad, but his strength was still much weaker than yours.]

[But Yellen's longsword quickly returned the favor. Your staff skills are ultimately only at a basic level; they are clearly no match for the opponent's skill!]

The sharp blade quickly cut a wound on your body. A thought crossed your mind, and you tried to activate your fur enhancement to parry the attack. However, the sharp blade proved ineffective; the razor-sharp attack only managed to leave a minor cut on the surface of your skin!

Seeing this, you finally understood Yellen's swordsmanship level. He wasn't a sword master yet; if he were, with his profound understanding of cutting iron, he could easily pierce your enhanced skin. However, his swordsmanship was indeed exquisite; to be truly apt, he was probably a half-step sword master!

[Your strength, at almost the level of a swordsman, is clearly inferior to Smoker from Loguetown in the East Blue, but as a Marine captain, it's still quite impressive. However, realizing this, a smile appeared on your face!]

Because you know that even a half-step swordsman is no match for you!

As expected, when you unleashed your lung-enhanced sonic roar once more, Yellen was immediately stunned. Taking advantage of this opportunity, you swept your giant club across, deflecting his longsword, and then swung it down on his head. Red and white matter exploded, and you predictably killed Yellen.

Chapter 42 The Money-Grubber's Fortune

042 The Money-Grubber's Fortune

Yellen's death made the Navy hesitant to approach you, but you chuckled and swaggered into the Navy headquarters building!

As the ferocious ape, you completely intimidated the Navy, moving with impunity towards their territory. You headed straight for the Navy's warehouse with a clear objective.

After killing Yellen, your target will naturally be her wealth. Since she's a greedy person, she should have a lot of assets, right?

[Armory, lounge, training room—soon you found the Navy branch's treasure room, but the contents there greatly surprised you: a mere few million Berries.]

[Simulation ended. Positive changes occurred: 1 combat experience point. No negative changes.]

In that instant, a flood of information rushed through Yang Hao's mind.

This is combat experience gained from simulation.

As Yang Hao absorbed the combat experience, he looked at the simulation and fell into deep thought.

This simulation, a battle against the money-grubbing Yellen, didn't surprise him much.

Even if the opponent wasn't a half-step swordsman, but a true swordsman, he probably wouldn't be a match for him.

Because of this battle, Yang Hao didn't even have to use his heart enhancement.

However, what satisfied Yang Hao the most was actually the effect of various transformations during the simulation.

After gaining multiple transformation abilities, his skills and methods indeed increased.

Whether trekking through mountains and rivers or facing attacks from multiple people, they became adept at handling the situation.

What dissatisfied Yang Hao the most was naturally the final distribution of his assets.

Yellen's nickname is "Money-Grubber," how could her assets only be a few million?!

However, Yang Hao thought about it again and quickly understood.

"It seems those millions didn't belong to Yellen, but to the Navy branch!"
