Pirate: I'm an admiral now, what's wrong with taking a little extra money?

“Robin, Hancock, and Sakazuki, the three of you,” Kane said, closing the ledger. “You did a fantastic job.”

This is the highest form of affirmation a boss can give to their employees!

Upon hearing this, tears finally streamed down Robin's face, and Hancock was so moved that she almost fainted.

Kane tossed the ledger containing endless wealth to Gion behind him.

He took a deep drag on his cigar and slowly turned around.

Those eyes, which had once held "warmth," transformed into those of a god looking down upon all living beings and displaying extreme tyranny the moment he turned around.

Chapter 290 I'll kill you just because you're too ugly!

Kane's gaze swept past the 100,000 fanatical G-5 marines, past the ruins of the execution platform, and fixed itself on the edge of the inner bay.

There stood the Blackbeard Pirates, who had just stolen the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and were attempting to dominate a new era.

"Gudong."

The moment that gaze swept over him, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach swallowed hard.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his large back.

One second ago, he was still immersed in his invincible state, with his left hand holding dark water and his right hand shattering the world.

But at this moment, under the pressure of a god-level being, the two strongest Devil Fruits within Teach's body seemed to have encountered their natural enemy, and they trembled instinctively.

Fight? What are we going to use to fight?!

The man flicked his cigarette ash and used a wisp of wind to shatter the Supreme Grade Sword Griffin, instantly killing one of the Four Emperors, Shanks!

Teach's mind completely collapsed, and only one word remained in his mind—escape!

The farther we get, the better! What are the Four Emperors' thrones, what are the new era's overlords, none of them are as important as our lives!

He whirled around, grabbed the sniper Van Oka beside him, and roared at the top of his lungs, "Oka! Ability! Use your ability! Get me out of this hellhole! Now!!!"

Van Oka's hands, holding the sniper rifle, trembled violently, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Faced with that overwhelming pressure capable of obliterating everything, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. He didn't care about the captain at all. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated the teleportation fruit's ability on himself.

hum!

Space distorted, and Van Augur vanished from the spot, disappearing without a trace.

"Oka, you bastard!" Teach's hand, which was outstretched in mid-air, froze, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

The abandoned Shiryu of the Rain, the Evil King, and others looked at each other, their faces extremely grim. They also tucked their tails between their legs and prepared to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Kane, standing in front of the 100,000-strong army, took a cigar from his mouth, exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, and let out a contemptuous sneer.

Did I give you permission to leave?

Kane raised his right hand and casually flipped it downwards.

Om-!

The airflow in the upper atmosphere of Marineford was instantly sucked away.

A raging azure storm suddenly appeared out of nowhere, condensing into a massive, invisible storm hand that slammed down!

"don't want--!"

Van Augur, still in mid-air, didn't have time to use his Devil Fruit powers again before his body was struck hard by the giant storm palm.

The immense force carried him, slamming him straight down to the ground.

Boom!

The entire inner bay of Marineford was violently shaken. The ice was blasted into a massive crater tens of meters deep!

Seeing Van Augur's fate, Teach completely abandoned the idea of ​​escaping.

He scrambled and crawled on his knees until he was less than ten meters away from Kane.

He disregarded any dignity of a powerful figure and slammed his head heavily against the solid ice, causing it to bleed profusely.

"Lord Kane! Spare me!"

Teach was in tears, her once arrogant face now filled with humility and fawning.

"Look! I have two Devil Fruits! I'm the only dual Devil Fruit user on the high seas! I possess the strongest destructive power!" He desperately tried to demonstrate his worth to Kane. "I'm willing to be your dog! Let me join G-5! I'll be your vanguard! I'll kill whoever you want! Please spare my life!"

The entire room fell silent.

Only Titchina's pleas for mercy echoed across the empty ice.

Those notorious criminals he had just released from the sixth level of Impel Down were now frozen in place. Shiryu of the Rain's eyes twitched wildly as he silently slid his half-drawn sword, Raiyu, back into its sheath.

"Two fruits?"

Kane looked down at Teach, who was kneeling at his feet wagging his tail wildly, a cold glint in his eyes.

He stroked his chin and pointed at Teach with the finger holding his cigar: "Sounds like a really good laborer. Old Bei's side is just in need of useful experimental subjects."

Upon hearing this, Teach's eyes instantly lit up with ecstatic joy.

There's hope! As long as the other party takes a liking to his abilities, he can survive! As long as he survives and fully develops his two Devil Fruits, sooner or later he'll...

"but."

Kane's indifferent voice was like a bucket of ice water, completely extinguishing Teach's hopes.

"You're so ugly, you're all fat and your teeth are gaping."

"Keeping you in my base seriously lowers the average appearance of my G-5 Legion and affects my mood for going to work and having afternoon tea every day."

The ecstasy on Teach's face froze completely.

ugly?

He lay low for thirty years, harboring his ambitions, killing Thatch, betraying Whitebeard, and scheming across the entire sea. And the reason his life and death were decided was simply because he was ugly?!

"Wait! Kane, the great..." Teach suddenly raised his head, wanting to speak.

Kane didn't give him a chance to say another word, and casually waved his hand.

A thin, cyan wind blade flashed out from the fingertip at lightning speed.

puff.

A slight sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

Teach's unfinished plea for mercy stuck in his throat. He stood frozen, his hands raised, his eyes fixed on the front.

Half a second later.

A very thin red line appeared right in the center of Teach's forehead.

The blood trailed down his nose, chin, throat, and hairy chest, all the way to his crotch.

Sizzle—!

Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's massive body was neatly split in two symmetrical halves along the bloodline right in the middle.

Internal organs and intestines, mixed with scalding hot blood, were spilled all over the ground.

The two halves of the body fell heavily to the left and right, their cuts as smooth as mirrors.

A brief ruler of a new era. The only user with two Devil Fruit abilities.

Physically split in two. Died on the spot.

Kane took a puff of his cigar, glanced at the broken pieces on the ground, and then looked around his chest.

"What Trinity, what alien constitution?" Kane raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with boredom. "You only have one heart, what a waste of my time."

clack.

Dozens of meters behind, Shiryu of the Rain dropped the cigar she was holding onto the ground.

The ruthless warden felt a chill run down his spine, and his hand gripping the knife froze. He immediately gave up resisting, covered his head with his hands, and expertly squatted down on the ground in a standard prisoner surrender posture.

Seeing this, the remaining sixth-level hardened criminals also squatted down in unison.

In the distance, the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates stood frozen in shock.

Their despair was as intense as the depth of their hatred for Blackbeard.

Even Blackbeard, who possessed two Devil Fruits, was no match for that man, less than a wild dog.

How do these remnants of the old era survive?

Just as the entire stadium was stunned into silence by Kane's ruthlessness, a series of heavy footsteps suddenly rang out on the broken ice.

Tap. Tap.

A figure draped in a dark green cloak stumbled through the broken ice, heading straight towards the 100,000-strong G-5 Legion.

In his left hand, he held Luffy, who was covered in blood.

Dragon, leader of the revolutionary army.

All the naval personnel gripped their weapons instantly.

Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino all locked their gazes on the past, their killing intent surging once more.

This is the guy who almost ruined the whole plan!

"Stop!" Sakazuki roared in a deep voice.

Garp's eyes widened in shock: "Drag! You bastard, why aren't you taking Luffy and running away?! Are you going to your death?!"

Dragon ignored Sakazuki and Garp's roar.

He dragged his right leg, which was charred extensively by lava, leaving bloody footprints with each step, until he was less than five meters away from Kane.

Dorrag stopped in his tracks.

He raised his head, and his weathered face was now only marked by bloodshot veins and trembling.

thump.

Dorrag knelt on one knee.

He lowered his proud head deeply, his eyes bloodshot, his voice trembling and hoarse.
