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

Kane struggled to open his eyes, the blinding white light causing him to raise his arm in an attempt to shield his eyes.

This simple movement felt like every bone in my body was protesting. Every muscle felt sore and weak from being completely drained.

"woke up?"

A calm and steady voice sounded from beside the bed.

Kane turned his head, his gaze gradually focusing.

What came into view was the familiar ceiling of the warship's medical room, and Bogart's perpetually unchanging poker face.

He was sitting nearby, meticulously polishing his sword.

This adjutant, who was usually as inconspicuous as a shadow, was now looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at "some rare animal."

“Mr. Bogart…” Kane’s voice was hoarse, “Where…am I?”

"On the flagship of a great general of the Warring States period."

Bogart slowly sheathed his sword, the movement fluid and graceful, producing a crisp "click" sound.

“You’ve been unconscious for two days. We’re on our way back to Marineford.”

Two days?

Kane's thoughts seemed to freeze.

He only remembered being stunned by the aftershock of Roger's "divine evasion" and then losing all consciousness.

"How's the battle going?" he asked anxiously. "Where's Shiki? Where's Roger?"

Roger ran away.

Bogart spoke calmly.

"After that 'divine evasion' split the sea, the Oro Jackson took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement. Mr. Karp missed the best opportunity to pursue you in order to save you first."

Did they run away...?

Kane sighed inwardly; this outcome was somewhat expected. A man burdened with a destiny like that was indeed not so easily killed.

“But,” Bogart’s tone shifted, a hint of barely concealed emotion finally creeping into his voice, “Shiki the Golden Lion has been arrested.”

Kane's heart skipped a beat.

"His entire fleet was wiped out, and he himself suffered a severe head injury and brain damage, and he remains unconscious to this day. The Sengoku general has ordered him to be escorted to the underwater prison, Impel Down."

Bogart paused, then gave Kane a deep look.

"The doctor didn't dare remove the ship's wheel stuck in his head."

"The Sengoku general said that it is your most dazzling medal as a naval officer."

Become!

Kane gritted his teeth to keep himself from laughing out loud in front of Bogart.

Screw medals!

What I want are disciplinary points! Real, tangible benefits!

The capture of Shiki means that the Shiki who wreaked havoc in Marineford in the future no longer exists, and he has even defeated Luffy's future movie boss in advance!

How disruptive is that?

How many points would that be?!

Seeing that Kane had woken up, Bogart stood up and said, "You rest first, I'll go and inform the general and the lieutenant general."

As the cabin door clicked shut, silence returned to the medical room.

Kane suddenly opened his eyes, which glowed green.

"System! Settle! Get the hell out here and settle the settlement!!!"

Om-!

A pale blue light screen unfolded on the retina.

[Epic event concluded!]

[Event Name: Battle of Edvard (Honkai Impact Version)]

[Determination of Core Disciplinary Violations:]

1. [Inhumane Massacre]: Maliciously manipulated natural disasters, causing the annihilation of tens of thousands of pirates in the Golden Lion Fleet. The methods were cruel and completely violated the "Basic Guidelines of Naval Humanitarianism".

2. [Historical Rewriting]: Forced interference in the outcome of the "Battle of Edvard" led to the capture of the legendary pirate "Golden Lion" Shiki, the premature exit of the Flying Pirates from the historical stage, and a catastrophic collapse of the world order!

3. [The Blasphemer of Fate]: Attempting to sink the ship of the "future Pirate King" and extinguish the source of the "Great Pirate Era," this act has seriously interfered with the gears of "fate"!

[In the process of comprehensive calculation...]

[Disruptive Factor: MAX!]

[Eyewitness bonus: Roger, Garp, Sengoku, Rayleigh, and thousands of other Marine and pirate survivors.]

[Final Reward - Issued!]

[Congratulations, host! You have gained 800,000 disciplinary points!]

[Current disciplinary violation balance: 935,200 points.]

"Eight... eight hundred thousand?!"

Kane stared at the long number, his breath almost stopping.

I spent over 100,000 yuan to save my life, and now I've not only gotten my principal back with interest, but it's multiplied several times over!

"I'm rich... I'm really rich this time..."

Kane lay on the bed, his lips curling up wildly, emitting a strange "hehehe" laugh, looking just like a landlord's foolish son.

With this money, you can have whatever you want, like awakening fruits or high-level domineering abilities.

Just then, heavy footsteps came from outside the cabin door.

Before anyone even appeared, that signature loud voice was already making the door panel vibrate.

"Pfft, hahaha! I told you that kid was lucky! Being shocked by Roger's aura is nothing. I used to get slashed by that bastard all the time back in the day!"

Kane's eyes sharpened, and he instantly switched modes.

The emotions of greed and ecstasy were perfectly suppressed within a second.

Instead, there was a face filled with weakness and paleness, but with eyes that remained resolute and unyielding.

Best Actor Mode, ON!

boom!

The hatch was violently pushed open.

Kapna's tall figure almost blocked the entire entrance, followed by Sengoku, who had a serious expression and wore round-framed glasses.

"Hahaha! You're finally awake!"

Karp rushed to the bedside in three strides, and slammed his large, fan-like hand onto Kane's shoulder with a "bang".

"Cough! Cough cough..."

Kane felt as if his newly healed bones had almost been shattered again, and the pain made his face turn deathly pale.

"Lieutenant General Garp..."

"Well done!" Garp grinned, his face full of undisguised pride. "As expected of my men! They actually cracked the Golden Lion's head open! Hahahaha!"

"Karp! He's still wounded!"

Sengoku frowned and reprimanded him, then walked to the bedside and looked down at Kane.

Kane struggled, seemingly trying to get out of bed to salute: "Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, your subordinate..."

"Lie down."

Sengoku reached out and pressed down on his shoulder, the force gentle yet undeniable.

The future marshal showed a rare gentleness on his face, and even some undisguised admiration.

“I heard everything from Bogart.”

"To stop the Golden Lion, you didn't hesitate to overdraw your life force and cause natural disasters; to uphold the Navy's justice, you even dared to attack Roger."

Sengoku took a deep breath, seemingly relieved that the navy had produced such a figure.

"Kane, you did a great job. Really great."

"The capture of Shiki the Golden Lion will be the Navy's biggest victory in nearly twenty years. The World Government attaches great importance to this, and the Air Admiral has personally inquired about your situation."

Kane timely feigned a flattered expression, his eyes gleaming with pure light: "This is all I should do. It's just a pity... Roger got away. This is my incompetence."

"Hahaha! If you take down both Shiki and Roger on your first voyage, what's the point of having us guys?" Garp laughed, slapping Kane's bedside. "Don't be too greedy, kid! What you've done this time is enough to scare this whole ocean so much it'll wet its pants!"

Zhan Guo nodded, pushed up his glasses, and a glint of light flashed across the lenses.

"Kane, given your extraordinary achievements, headquarters has decided to promote you exceptionally."

"in addition……"

Zhan Guo lowered his voice, his tone becoming meaningful.

"Some people at the World Government are very interested in your abilities, especially your power to 'manipulate celestial phenomena'... You should be prepared."

World Government?

Kane sneered inwardly.

It seems I really went too far this time, and have now come into the sights of those Celestial Dragons' lackeys.

but……

Isn't this exactly what he wanted?

The higher one's status, the more sophisticated the sources of wrongdoing they come into contact with. If one could infiltrate Mary Geoise and deliver a righteous "backstab" to the Celestial Dragons...

Just imagining that scene made Kane feel his 800,000 points, which had just calmed down, were about to surge up again.

"Yes! I understand!"
