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

"Wow~ If the Sengoku generals knew this, they'd probably have a stroke from anger~"

Not far away, Borsalino was holding an account book that he had just "collected" from a merchant ship, crossing out the goods list on it with a pen, and slowly muttering complaints under his breath.

"This is even more blatant than being a pirate!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Kane chewed the grapes that Gion offered him, juice spilling out, his voice muffled.

"The emperor is far away, so it's none of his business."

“Besides,” he lazily raised his chin, pointing to an underground merchant ship that was being looted by the G-5 veterans, “we are weakening the forces of evil!”

Kane's gaze shifted to the other side of the deck, to that cold, imposing figure.

“Sakazuki, you tell us.”

"How many of these ships that pass through here are clean?"

Sakazuki, standing on the ship's side, let out a cold snort upon hearing this.

"Hmph! They're either reckless pirates, underground merchant ships that transport supplies to those big pirates, or filthy slave ships!"

"None of them are innocent!"

"That's right!"

Kane slapped his thigh and sat up a little straighter.

"It's the same old saying."

"They're broke, so they can't afford guns and cannons, they can't recruit henchmen, and they can't do bad things!"

Sakazuki nodded in deep agreement.

"That's right! Any act of funding evil must have a price to pay!"

Just then, the lookout shouted excitedly.

"Sir! Another pirate ship is coming!!"

It was a pirate ship flying an unknown skull and crossbones flag. The pirates on board were obviously hotheads who had just come out of "Paradise," their faces filled with longing for the new world and lawless fanaticism.

"stop!"

The veteran thugs of G-5 picked up megaphones and expertly recited the lines Kane had taught them the day before.

"Naval Branch G-5 ahead, collecting taxes!"

"Hands up in surrender! Hand over all the treasure on board!"

"Hahaha! The Navy? You think you can handle that?"

The pirate captain laughed arrogantly.

"I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

"Men, charge! Seize their ship!"

However, their laughter quickly froze on their faces.

"Wow, these young people these days have such a terrifying murderous aura!"

Borsalino's irritating voice drifted over slowly.

A golden light flashed, and he appeared at the top of the pirate ship's mast, looking down at the dumbfounded pirates below.

He pushed up his sunglasses and slowly lifted his foot.

"Speed ​​is weight..."

Have any of you ever been kicked at the speed of light?

boom!!!

A dazzling golden laser beam pierced straight through the deck of the pirate ship!

The violent explosion instantly engulfed half of the ship, and countless pirates were blasted into the sky amidst screams.

[Ding! Detected that the host is condoning his subordinates' indiscriminate slaughter of pirates, a serious violation of the Navy's humanitarian code!]

[Disciplinary Value +2200!]

"Good job!"

Kane lowered the back of the beach chair a notch, enjoying the sunshine and the system notification sounds.

This is the retirement life he has always dreamed of.

"The next one!"

A suspicious underground merchant ship was stopped.

"We are legitimate businessmen!" the captain cried, trembling on the deck.

"legitimate?"

Kane's voice traveled across the entire sea via Den Den Mushi.

"Then explain yourself, which pirates are you planning to sell those weapons on your ship to?"

"Stop talking nonsense." His tone instantly became unquestionable.

"Leave the goods behind, and you can get out of here."

[Ding! Host has been detected openly robbing merchant ships and abusing his power for personal gain; his behavior is no different from that of a pirate!]

[Disciplinary Value +3500!]

"The next one!"

A noble ship flying the flag of a member state of the World Government swaggered in.

A portly nobleman stood at the bow of the ship, arrogantly pointing at Kane's flagship and shouting insults.

"You bastard! Do you see this flag clearly? I am a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Stolaber!"

"You lowly navy men, how dare you block my ship?"

"Get out of my way! Otherwise, I will definitely complain to the World Government!"

"Stop arguing, it's too noisy."

Kuzan, who was dozing on another beach chair, opened his eyes impatiently from the noise and waved his hand casually.

Ice Age!

Click... click click...

A chilling cold swept across the sea, instantly freezing the magnificent ship into a giant ice sculpture.

The soldiers of G-5 erupted in thunderous cheers and charged forward.

They used chisels to clang and clatter as they "retrieved" their spoils from the ice.

[Ding! Detected that the host has tacitly approved the attack on ships of World Government member states, severely damaging the World Government's international reputation!]

[Disciplinary Value +5800!]

"The next one!"

This time, a powerful pirate crew with a bounty of over 500 million has arrived, exuding murderous intent.

"Absolute justice will not tolerate the existence of any evil!"

Sakazuki was too lazy to say another word.

He raised his hand.

"A massive fireball!"

Boom!!

A colossal lava fist descended from the sky, and the massive pirate ship, along with its hundreds of crew members, was instantly vaporized by the intense heat before they could even utter a scream.

[Ding! Host detected...]

[Disciplinary Value +3100!]

In this way, the three of them took turns "on duty," and their efficiency was incredibly high.

If you encounter a rookie pirate, perform a physical exorcism.

Heavy taxes are levied on any underground merchant ships encountered.

If you encounter a nobleman who doesn't know his place, just flip the table.

In just a few days, G-5 branch transformed from a notorious naval dump into an incredibly efficient money-printing machine at sea.

The entrance to the entire new world was thrown into chaos by them, with everyone complaining.

For the first time, countless pirates and underground forces experienced the fear of being "robbed" by the Navy.

Chapter 70 So what if the money is black? As long as the heart is red!

Night falls.

The square of the G-5 branch was brightly lit and even more lively than during the day.

The treasures, wine, and food looted over the past few days have piled up like mountains, and the golden Baileys, at Kane's behest, have been stacked into a glittering little mountain.

All the soldiers sat around, devouring the juicy roasted meat and drinking large bowls of strong liquor; the atmosphere was incredibly lively.

"My men!"

Kane stood atop Mount Bailey and raised his glass. The entire arena fell silent instantly, everyone staring at him with fervent eyes.

"Tell me, have you enjoyed these past few days?!"

"Cool--!!!"

The roar of hundreds of people almost shattered the night sky.

“In the past few days, we have collected a total of 1.3 billion yuan in ‘justice protection tax’!”

"Wow--!"
