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

"interesting……"

Roger grinned, revealing a smile of utter admiration, the blade in his hand humming softly.

"He survived Shiki's attack and even awakened that color of Haki in the face of death..."

"Garp, your Navy... has produced an extraordinary newcomer!"

Chapter 46 Awakening Conqueror's Haki! The System Generously Grants 100,000 Disciplinary Points

"Conqueror's Haki?"

On the Oro Jackson, the red-nosed intern's hand went limp, and the dagger clattered to the wet deck.

Bucky the Clown felt his teeth chattering uncontrollably.

"That Marine... he actually has Conqueror's Haki?!"

The red-haired boy beside him, Shanks, didn't speak, but gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes fixed on the figure swaying precariously in the storm.

It's not just them.

Rayleigh, Jabba, and all the officers of Roger's pirate crew.

The pirate captains in the Golden Lion Fleet who survived the giant waves.

And on Garp's ship, there were the marines who had just swum ashore and were still trying to figure out what was going on.

Everyone is stupid.

An unknown naval recruit.

Under the Flying Admiral's deadly strike, in front of the most powerful group of monsters on this sea, he awakened the kingly talent that only one in a million could achieve!

What kind of bizarre plot is this?!

"Pfft, hahahahahaha!"

Garp was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The laughter contained barely suppressed surprise, admiration, and a sense of pride that "my soldiers are just that awesome."

"Good job, kid! That's well done!!"

Garp, too lazy to look at the Golden Lion whose face had become extremely gloomy, instead shouted at Roger as if showing off a newly unearthed treasure:

"Roger! Do you see this? This is my subordinate!"

Kane, at that moment, had no time to pay attention to the shock of others.

Because the voice he had been longing for most was ringing in his mind.

[Ding! Host detected that they are facing a life-or-death situation, and their willpower has exceeded its limit!]

[The host has been detected to possess a powerful soul foundation from two lifetimes, with a mental threshold far exceeding that of ordinary people!]

[Congratulations, host! You have achieved a breakthrough in awakening your power! [Conqueror's Haki (Intermediate)]!]

[Unlock special achievement: Chosen King!]

[Achievement Reward: 100,000 Disciplinary Points!]

One hundred thousand?!

fuck!

Kane glanced down at his system balance, which had just been emptied and then instantly replenished, and felt the new power surging from the depths of his soul. The intense pain throughout his body seemed to lessen considerably.

The relief of surviving the ordeal, mixed with the exhilaration of a sudden surge in power, made his blood boil.

He survived.

Not only did he survive, he also awakened intermediate-level Conqueror's Haki!

This feeling... is even more exhilarating than riding on the most popular courtesan in the entertainment district!

Meanwhile, on the other side, someone was furious.

"You bastard..."

Shiki the Golden Lion's face turned extremely ugly.

He messed up.

He, the mighty Flying Admiral and the overlord of this sea, unleashed a furious attack, only to have it evaded by a mere "small fish" in his eyes.

Not only did they dodge it, but... they also awakened Conqueror's Haki in their opponent?!

What a shame!

"Today...I'm going to tear you to pieces!!"

The Golden Lion went completely berserk. He abandoned Roger and Garp, and the famous sword in his hand burst out with dazzling golden light. He transformed into a golden meteor and rushed straight toward the floating plank of the ship.

"Again?"

Kane could feel the chilling killing intent emanating from the Golden Lion, which had firmly locked onto him.

There's no escaping it!

Since there's no way to avoid it...

As Kane watched the rapidly enlarging figure, he felt no fear, but rather an unprecedented surge of pride.

Come on, Golden Lion!!

The extreme experience of escaping death, the spiritual sublimation of awakening Conqueror's Haki, and the heavy sum of money in his account have elevated his entire state to an unprecedented peak.

He no longer held back any energy, nor did he think about the consequences, pushing the Storm Fruit, which he had just fully developed, to its limit!

He's going to make up for every penny of disciplinary points he just spent here!

"With me at the center—storm, gather!"

He was like the center of a vortex, frantically devouring all the surrounding air currents.

He soared into the sky and plunged headlong into the massive, towering waterspout he had created earlier!

That is the most violent core of the storm.

That place is also the most absolutely tranquil spot.

"Hmm? This kid..." Roger looked at Kane's actions and stroked his chin with interest. "Garp, aren't you going to save your precious subordinate? He looks like he wants to fight Shiki one-on-one."

"Pfft, hahaha!" Garp punched a piece of warship debris the size of a house into dust, laughing nonchalantly.

"He didn't ask me for help; instead, he went to meet me."

Garp grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Then I will believe him!"

After all, he was able to stand up to the attacks of three monsters' Conqueror's Haki, survive the Golden Lion's slashes, and awaken Conqueror's Haki on the spot.

This kid is already qualified to have his own stage on this battlefield of the strong!

The Golden Lion scoffed disdainfully at Kane, who was charging into the eye of the storm: "Does hiding in a turtle shell work? Before absolute power, any tricks are futile!"

However, just as he entered the storm's range...

His arrogant laughter abruptly stopped.

Because he discovered that, under Kane's will, the entire waterspout had once again increased in size!

It transformed into a true, world-destroying behemoth that connected heaven and earth!

Its top disappeared into the depths of the pitch-black clouds.

Its bottom creates a huge, bottomless whirlpool on the sea surface.

Countless thick purple lightning bolts, like giant dragons, coiled around its body.

Even more terrifying, the vast seawater that was sucked into the sky transformed into a giant circular wave hundreds of meters high, and it actually developed its own consciousness!

Like giant, sky-covering hands, they crushed down on the massive fleet of the Golden Lion!

"This...this is...an ancient weapon?!"

A pirate captain, seeing a scene that was completely beyond human comprehension, had his legs go weak and knelt down on the deck, his crotch wet and hot.

"Run! Run!"

"Turn! Turn the fuck around! Get out of this area!"

"It's too late! The sails are torn to shreds! The rudder is malfunctioning!"

The Golden Lion's invincible fleet was in complete chaos.

Click!

The keel of a heavy warship was snapped in two by a giant wave, emitting a painful cry.

Whoosh!

Another warship was lifted hundreds of meters into the air, spun helplessly several times, and was then violently thrown down, crashing into another friendly ship. The two ships instantly turned into a huge fireball.

Countless pirates were torn to pieces by the raging winds amidst screams, swept into the deep sea by giant waves, and charred into pieces by lightning.

A torrential downpour of broken masts, burning planks, and mangled corpses rained down from the sky.

At this moment, the waters of Advor have become a slaughterhouse of natural disasters.

Kane, who orchestrated all of this, is silently suspended in the eye of the storm.

He closed his eyes, feeling the howling wind, the roaring thunder, and... the desperate cries of countless lives before they vanished.

This is... Kane's power!

PS: The following is my understanding of the stages of domineering, which is purely subjective.

Observation color

Basic stage: Perceive the enemy's location, number, and attack actions; extract information about enemies outside the field of vision.

Intermediate stage: Able to briefly foresee the future and predict the opponent's next move.
