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

Kane bent down and exhaled a puff of smoke, blowing it into Luffy's face.

"Go to the dark, sunless mines and dig for sea stone for the rest of your life."

"There you will find the freedom you desire."

Luffy's eyes widened.

The intense pain, coupled with the exhaustion of his physical limits, made it impossible for his simple-minded brain to process such cruel punishment.

He didn't even have time to utter a word of protest before his eyes rolled back and he completely lost consciousness.

"Someone come here," Kane commanded indifferently.

"Yes, Marshal!"

Two burly, fully armed G-5 officers rushed out and roughly grabbed Luffy's arms, dragging the future sun god like a dead dog all the way to the warship.

Dorrag knelt on the spot, his clenched fists turning white at the knuckles, but in the end he helplessly let go.

He did not stop him.

This was... the mentor's final act of leniency towards him.

However, the person experiencing even greater emotional turmoil than Dragon was Karp, who was far away.

This naval hero once disobeyed military orders for the sake of his grandson.

Upon hearing Kane's verdict, Karp trembled violently.

He showed no anger, nor did he erupt in anger.

puff.

Garp's legs buckled, and he knelt down in the pile of rubble.

Tears streamed down his face.

“I survived…” Garp covered his face, tears streaming down his face through his rough fingers.

'That's great...that's really great...'

'This kid, defying the military order to exterminate pirates, managed to spare Luffy's life!'

'Mining? That's nothing! With Luffy's physique, he could mine for a hundred years and still not die!'

'This is Kane... Kane is giving me face!'

Garp braced his hands on the ground, tears streaming down his face, his heart filled with boundless gratitude.

Chapter 292 The Ultimate Blessing of Capitalists!

Dorrag stumbled back into the revolutionary army's camp.

Everyone's attention was awestruck by Kane's superior judgment.

However, at the edge of the battlefield, two enormous monsters were moving cautiously.

Kaido of the Beasts.

Big Mom Charlotte Linlin.

The two emperors who had reigned over the New World for decades showed no arrogance at this moment, no longer vying for supremacy.

They looked at each other, and both saw extreme terror in each other's pupils.

Memories from twenty years ago flooded back.

Kaido recalled the days and nights he spent mining at the Udon Quarry.

Charlotte Linlin felt a dull ache in her veins, as if she was about to have her blood drawn again.

run!

The same thought flashed through the minds of both of the Four Emperors.

They simply couldn't muster the slightest will to resist.

Even Shanks was instantly killed by a gust of wind; if they rushed in, they would only be easy prey.

Without exchanging a single word, the two Emperors reached the most tacit consensus of their lives.

Kaido's enormous body suddenly expanded, transforming into a blue dragon that blotted out the sky.

Charlotte Linlin leaped onto Zeus's thundercloud.

Without even glancing at their subordinates, the two men immediately changed direction and rapidly ascended into the air towards the completely opposite sea area.

"Damn it! Those two pirates have escaped!" A major admiral in the G-5 camp drew his sword and shouted.

Kane stood in the center of the square, still leisurely smoking a cigar, his eyelids slightly raised as he glanced at the two dark figures fleeing in the sky.

Amidst the whistling wind, Kaido glanced back.

They found that Kane was still standing in the same spot, making no move to chase after them.

'There's hope!' Kaido thought with wild joy. 'As long as I escape this sea, I'll find some godforsaken place and never cause trouble again!'

However, the next second.

Kane let out a cold snort.

"You think you can leave early without signing a leave slip? What do you take my G-5 for?"

boom!!!

The god-level Conqueror's Haki erupted once again the moment Kane finished speaking.

A dark red cyclone emanated from Kane, radiating outwards and instantly piercing through the thick clouds above Marineford.

"Ugh!"

In mid-air, the enormous azure dragon's body suddenly stiffened, large patches of pale white appeared in its eyes, and it spewed out mouthfuls of white foam.

The massive body was instantly stripped of all its strength and plummeted straight down from a height of hundreds of meters.

Charlotte Linlin's obese body convulsed violently above the thundercloud. She clutched her head tightly with both hands, letting out a pig-like scream before losing consciousness and plunging headfirst into the hard ice sheet below.

Boom! Boom!

Two earth-shattering explosions.

Two massive craters, each a hundred meters wide, were smashed into the ice cap surrounding Marineford, sending ice fragments soaring into the sky.

Just as everyone was still in shock at Kane killing two Yonko with a single glance, a tall and fiery figure darted out from the front of the G-5 formation.

"You audacious pirate, don't even think about escaping punishment!"

Vice Admiral Yamato's eyes gleamed as he wielded a black spiked club, striding with his long, white legs towards the bottom of the pit where Kaido had fallen at the fastest speed he had ever seen.

"Yamato's going to finish him off!" King and Queen of the Beasts Pirates felt a chill run down their spines. They tried to stop him, but the aftershocks of Conqueror's Haki made them unable to stand up.

Yamato charged wildly into the pit, and before Kaido, who was still dizzy from the fall, could react, she stomped hard on her father's dragon head.

Then, her figure blurred into afterimages as she darted and weaved across Kaido's massive dragon body, the seastone chains in her hands rattling loudly.

Wrap around the neck, tie the arms behind the back, and lock the legs in a tight knot.

In just five seconds, the mighty Yonko Kaido of the Beasts was bound tightly into a rice dumpling, with even the tip of his tail tied firmly to his thigh.

"You unfilial son... what are you doing!" Kaido trembled with rage, his voice weak and feeble due to the suppression of the sea stone, his eyes filled with humiliation.

Yamato completely ignored his father's roar.

She grabbed the end of the chain, hoisted it onto her slender shoulders, and with great strides, dragged the tens of tons of Kaido out of the deep pit.

The massive dragon's body carved a deep furrow into the ice, and Kaido's face was rubbed raw and bleeding from the ice shards.

Yamato jogged all the way to a spot three meters in front of Kane.

She casually tossed the chain to the ground, knelt heavily on one knee, pressed her right fist against her left chest, raised her head, and looked up with an expression full of excitement and a desire for praise.

"Reporting to Lord Kane!" Yamato's booming voice echoed throughout the area, "Vice Admiral Yamato of G-5 Headquarters has successfully captured the notorious criminal 'Kaido of the Beasts'! Awaiting your judgment!"

Kaido lay on the ice, watching his own daughter groveling for mercy, and a surge of turmoil welled up inside him.

The phrase "Awaiting your judgment" shattered the last vestige of dignity of the Four Emperors.

“You unfilial son…” Kaido’s eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Yamato, “I should have…”

puff--!

Before he could finish his sentence, Kaido was overcome with rage, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His vision went black, and he almost fainted again.

Kane glanced at Kaido on the ground, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

He stepped forward, stretched out his long, slender hand, gently placed it on Yamato's head, and softly rubbed it.

“Well done, Vice Admiral Yamato.” Kane’s voice softened. “You put aside family ties for the greater good and upheld justice. You are not only the sharpest blade of my G-5, but also the highest moral standard for the entire Navy.”

Upon hearing the words "justice" and "role model," Yamato trembled with excitement, and a blush rose to her fair cheeks.

"To die for Lord Kane is the highest honor of my life!" Yamato kowtowed heavily, his voice filled with fervent faith.

Kane withdrew his hand and slowly walked to a video Den Den Mushi (snail phone) responsible for global live streaming.

People all over the world are glued to their screens right now.

Kane flicked the ash from his cigar, his gaze indifferent.

"Those two who ran away just now were Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom Charlotte Linlin."

"These two remnants of the old era disregarded the laws of the world government and should have been executed on the spot."

"But I am a compassionate person, and I also believe in making use of waste and reducing costs to increase efficiency."

“Leave them a way to continue creating surplus value.”

Kane paused for a moment, then turned and pointed at Kaido on the ground, and Charlotte Linlin, who was still stuck in the pit in the distance.

"Kaido, head to the G-5 Seastone Mine for indefinite labor reform. Your daily quota is 10,000 tons of high-purity ore. If you fail to meet it, your food rations will be deducted."

"Charlotte Linlin, sent to the Punk Hazard military factory for indefinite labor reform. Her daily task is to infuse souls into a thousand Pacifistas. If she dares to slack off, all sweets will be cut off."

The verdict has been announced.

Silence fell over the live broadcast screens around the world.
