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

He could no longer hold back, and suddenly bent over. A metallic taste rose in his throat, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

My body has been hollowed out.

He manipulated celestial phenomena on a large scale and fought against a legendary pirate, almost exhausting all his strength.

Especially the final move to snatch the golden lion's head, which drained him of his last bit of energy.

Now, let alone raising a finger, he even felt his soul swaying with the waves.

But he won.

Kane forced himself to lift his head, his bloodshot eyes peering over the ravaged sea and locking onto the distance.

There, the clash between the two figures continued to tear the sea apart.

Garp and Roger.

Those two real monsters have been fighting since the start of the war, seemingly tireless. Every clash of their fists and blades still changes the color of the sky and makes the sea wail.

Kane's extremely exhausted brain was now working at an unprecedented speed.

The Golden Lion is now useless.

The Battle of Admiral was completely ruined by his own actions.

but……

The true heart of this naval battle, that man, Gol D. Roger! is still there!

The Great Pirate Era.

It was this man's dying words that sent countless ambitious people, villains, and scum into the sea, chasing after that elusive treasure.

The number of pirates exploded, completely shattering the peace of the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line. Countless civilians lost their homes and were displaced.

Admittedly, he may have had his own dreams and a desire for freedom, and he ushered in a turbulent era, but he also brought endless disasters to the world.

From the perspective of "justice," Roger is the root of all evil.

From Kane's own perspective...

If, while I still have a sliver of strength left, and my mind remains clear...

Should we send the Oro Jackson ship to the bottom of the sea as well?

Without the Oro Jackson, Roger was like a rootless duckweed, unable to escape.

Once Sengoku's main fleet arrives, Garp and Sengoku will join forces, along with Garp himself, who can control celestial phenomena...

Roger, you will never leave the Advor Sea today!

If we could end the future "Pirate King" here ahead of schedule...

So, will the "Great Pirate Era" begin again?

Where will the future of this world lean?

The thought of this made Kane's heart pound uncontrollably.

How much disciplinary points will the system reward for this "disruptive" nature that is enough to change the world's landscape for decades to come?

How generous will the system's rewards be?

That was an astronomical number that he dared not even think about, and it might even cause the system to crash and restart!

It's done!

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Kane's eyes sharpened once more, a mixture of greed and madness.

He forced out what little life force he had left, raised his violently trembling right hand, and aimed it at the distant Oro Jackson.

"Hey! Kid! What do you think you're doing?!"

On the Oro Jackson, Rayleigh's keen Observation Haki immediately detected Kane's intentions.

The storm energy that had regrouped, carrying undisguised malice, was directed at their ship!

"nothing."

Kane grinned, his smile as bright as the midday sun, but his words sent a chill down Rayleigh's spine.

"I just think that pirate ships are better left to sink to the bottom of the sea."

Before the words had even finished...

Kane moved.

He poured the last bit of power he had squeezed out of his body into controlling the storm.

The sea, which had just calmed down, became raging again!

A massive waterspout, stretching from the sky to the ground, whipped up towering waves hundreds of meters high, lashing fiercely at the Oro Jackson!

"Men! Hold on!"

On the Oro Jackson, Jabba, Shanks, and others were in complete chaos.

The all-consuming waterspout was about to tear the ship apart.

"Captain!" Ridley exclaimed.

Roger, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Garp, caught a glimpse of this earth-shattering change out of the corner of his eye.

For the first time, the cynical smile disappeared from his face.

The boat was their only home on the sea.

He can die, but the ship cannot sink!

"Garp! That's enough for today!"

Roger forced Garp back with a single slash, then stomped his foot and leaped high into the air, instantly appearing at the very front of the ship.

"You're a hundred years too early to mess with my ship, you little navy brat!"

Roger's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

He held the Supreme Grade Sword named "Ace" with both hands and raised it above his head.

Buzz—!

A surge of Conqueror's Haki far surpassing any previous one erupted!

Centered on Roger, it exploded in a ring-like pattern! That wasn't just a display of power; it was the tangible pressure of a king!

Dark red thunder roared wildly, and pitch-black domineering energy, like raging black dragons, tightly coiled around his blade.

The sky shattered, and the sea howled.

Even Garp behind him had his pupils shrink, his whole body tensed up instinctively, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

That's the Pirate King's all-out attack!

"—God, dodge!!!"

In an instant, Kane's sensory world was completely stripped away.

A jet-black slash that stretched across the sky burst forth from the blade. It was so domineering and unreasonable, so brutal and ruthless, that it inspired despair.

In Kane's pupils, only that ever-expanding darkness remained.

He frantically stirred up the storm, trying to resist it, trying to deflect it, trying to do something.

But it didn't work.

Wherever that slash passed, it seemed that all rules and all existence were forcibly "avoided" in the face of this one strike!

Rip!

The sea tornado that connected heaven and earth was easily split in two from the very middle by the pitch-black cleaving wave!

The force of the powerful strike had not yet dissipated when it grazed the edge of the driftwood where Kane was, and flew towards the distant horizon.

next second.

boom-----------!!!!

The entire ocean behind Kane was completely cleaved in two.

The once continuous sea has disappeared, replaced by a bottomless abyss canyon!

The seawater on both sides churned in terror, hesitant to close, emitting a deafening roar, trembling in fear under the divine power of this attack!

"puff--!"

Kane was struck dumb, and the backlash caused him to cough up a mouthful of blood.

His strength was instantly drained, everything went black, and he fell straight backward into the icy seawater.

Is this... the true power of the Pirate King...?

In the final moments before his consciousness faded into darkness, Kane seemed to hear Roger's voice, tinged with regret and approval.

"What a remarkable kid... It's a pity you're still too young."

"Garp, for your sake, I'll spare this kid. Until we meet again!"

"My men, raise the sails!"

With a violent gas ejection sound, the stern of the Oro Jackson burst forth with powerful thrust, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

The icy seawater completely engulfed Kane.

Just moments before Kane's consciousness completely dissipated.

A cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind!

[Ding! The source of the host's attempt to end the "Great Pirate Era" has been detected, and the course of history has been forcibly interfered with!]

[The world line has deviated by an epic magnitude! The degree of disruption is being assessed...]

Chapter 49 Opening my eyes, I found myself richer than a country!

The last thing I remembered was the cold seawater, the suffocating pressure, and that dark, slicing wave.

"Well……"
