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

Synchronization successful!

[Congratulations, host! You have mastered an advanced application of Conqueror's Haki—Haki Entanglement!]

[Congratulations, host! You have mastered an advanced application of Conqueror's Haki—Haki Defense!]

outside world.

The three future generals, who were pointing at blueprints and discussing where to build the bathhouse and the canteen, suddenly froze.

The once clear sky suddenly darkened.

Dark clouds gathered out of nowhere, the wind howled, and the sea roared.

A terrifying, suffocating sense of oppression spread wildly outwards in a ring shape from Kane's center!

"Ok?"

Sakazuki turned around abruptly, his pupils contracting sharply.

He saw Kane still sitting there, in the same posture, but around Kane, streaks of jet-black lightning with crimson edges were spontaneously generated and leaping wildly.

Crackle!

Black and red lightning tore through the air, producing a chilling crackling sound.

"Hey, hey..." Kuzan subconsciously took a half step back, a fine layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead. "This feeling... is even more dangerous than the Red Earl's."

"Conqueror's Haki? No... it's different~" Borsalino's fingers trembled slightly as he adjusted his sunglasses. "How terrifying~"

Sakazuki, enduring the oppressive force, his arms churning with magma and steaming heat, gritted his teeth, refusing to show the slightest fear.

Kane slowly opened his eyes.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

The raging black and red lightning bolts, like obedient pets, instantly gathered in his palm, solidified and flowing like water.

"This is... a power that transcends everything."

Kane muttered to himself, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

Is this what it feels like to have 600,000 points? So smooth.

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch at the empty sea, sending it flying through the air!

There was no sound, no light or shadow.

One second later.

Boom-! ! ! !

A thousand meters away on the sea, a giant column of water tens of meters high shot into the sky without warning, as if it had been hit hard by something unseen!

The seawater burst open, revealing the dark seabed below!

At that moment, the pupils of the three Sakazukis shrank to the size of pinpoints.

A strike from a distance?!

No, that's not "Ryuo"!

That's a power on a level higher than Ryuo, a power they simply cannot comprehend!

Kane withdrew his fist, feeling the new power within him, and nodded in satisfaction.

This is the ticket to becoming a royal-level combatant!

Chapter 81 The most important thing in life is to get things for free!

Tickets alone are not enough.

With a thought, Kane unleashed even more Conqueror's Haki from within his body, no longer projecting outwards, but instead forming an invisible barrier of will on the surface of his body.

Conqueror's Haki Defense!

In the original work, only the legendary Rocks displayed such divine skills!

“Sakazuki…”

Kane turned around and glanced at the three future generals who were completely stunned.

"Punch me!"

"what?"

Sakazuki frowned, wondering if he had misheard.

"Stop talking nonsense and use your full strength."

Kane beckoned with his finger, his expression utterly smug.

"Let me see just how much your so-called absolute justice really weighs."

boom!

This statement precisely triggered Sakazuki's pride.

"Insanity!"

Sakazuki let out a low growl from his throat, and his right arm instantly transformed into rolling magma, the scorching heat igniting the surrounding air.

He didn't hold back.

Since this bastard is courting death, let's teach him a lesson!

"A massive fireball!"

The enormous magma fist, like a volcanic eruption, carried terrifying kinetic energy that could destroy everything in its path, and slammed straight into Kane's face.

Faced with this devastating blow, Kane simply stood there quietly, hands in his pockets.

Thump—! ! ! !

The giant magma fist stopped abruptly ten centimeters from Kane's face.

It was like hitting an invisible wall of sighs.

The terrifying shockwave rippled wildly in all directions, blasting away layers of rocks beneath their feet. Kuzan had to create thick ice walls to block the aftershocks.

At the epicenter of the explosion, Kane's hairstyle wasn't even slightly disheveled.

The magma, powerful enough to melt steel, was firmly blocked by that invisible barrier, unable to advance an inch.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Sakazuki's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

His attack possessed extremely high penetrability and temperature! How could it possibly be completely blocked by something invisible?!

“That’s the difference, Sakazuki.”

Kane's voice pierced through the smoke and dust, its calmness instilling despair.

"At the table of the strongest in the New World, Devil Fruit abilities are merely tableware, while this..."

He took a step forward, and a black and red shockwave swept across the entire arena as if it were a tangible object.

The oppressive aura even caused the elemental bodies of the three nature-type monsters to become unstable.

"This is the only ticket to the game."

A deathly silence.

Strong.

It's ridiculously strong, so strong it's suffocating!

We all came out of the training camp together, so how did you secretly evolve into another species?

The feeling of being left far behind by their peers gave these three proud geniuses an unprecedented sense of frustration.

Kane keenly noticed the change in their emotions, and a smile curved his lips.

good chance.

It would be a waste of these 600,000 points not to use some PUA tactics at a time like this.

"What's wrong? Feeling discouraged?" He slowly walked up to the three of them. "However... you really are too weak."

“Sakazuki,” Kane’s gaze first fell on the magma man, “your ‘absolute justice’ can’t even touch the hem of my clothes, so what are you talking about burning away all the evil in the world? Your justice needs to be supported by power, not just a slogan.”

Sakazuki's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his teeth were clenched, and he didn't utter a word.

“Kuzan.” Kane looked at the languid man again.

"Ah, la la... what do you want to say?" Kuzan scratched his head, trying to hide his inner shock with his lazy tone.

"Stop rambling," Kane interrupted him bluntly. "Lazy justice? You need to have the power to make the world tolerate your laziness. Without the power to overturn the chessboard, you're just a pawn to be manipulated at will, without even the right to lie down."

Kuzan's smile froze on his face.

Finally, there's Borsalino.

"And you, Flashman. Speed ​​equals weight? Don't be ridiculous."

Kane scoffed.

"In the face of a top-tier powerhouse's 'foresight' and 'Conqueror's Haki,' your speed, which you're so proud of, is a joke. They predicted your prediction, and with one blow, you didn't even have time to activate your elemental transformation."

Borsalino pushed up his sunglasses, the lenses reflecting light and obscuring his expression.

Kane's words were a triple critical hit.

Each strike avoided vital points, yet each one pierced the heart.

But what he said was true.

The gap between them and Kane has widened to a despairing degree.

"I don't care what kind of justice you uphold."

Kane's voice turned cold.

"On this vast ocean, weakness is the original sin."

"The weak don't even have the right to choose how they die!"
