A Professional Team That's Obvious at a Glance

In the deep mountains and old forests on the other side of Demon Valley Town.

Chaos crashed to the ground like a meteor, startling many birds and beasts.

A small patch of jungle was flattened, forming a crater. Chaos lay within, gazing at the blue sky. His Golden Armor was tattered, and his face was pale and covered in bloodstains, looking miserable and disheveled.

But his eyes were brighter than ever.

Observation Haki covered his surroundings, and he found no one following him. It was safe!

He lay in the crater, breathing in the fresh scent of soil and vegetation. After about half an hour of calming down, Chaos painfully climbed out of the crater and staggered toward the depths of the forest.

This was the consequence of being arrogant and showing off, a mix of pain and pleasure.

But it was exhilarating.

Another hour passed. By a small river, Chaos cleaned himself and his tattered Golden Armor. He then applied herbal medicine and lay on a large rock, clearly feeling the strange power within his body.

"Haha! Haha!"

A smile spread across his lips, and he couldn't help but laugh. Chaos raised his right hand as if to grab the sun in the sky. He had awakened.

He had awakened Armament Haki.

His capital for arrogance had just increased.

He had trained diligently and endured beatings every day for three years and five months before even debuting. Do you know how he spent those three years and five months?

His vanity alone had been suppressed for three years and five months – long enough to give birth to a Nezha!

It was only because of his strong mental fortitude that he didn't develop depression.

Damn it, today he had finally broken free from his cocoon!

The richest man was no ordinary person. Once he mastered Armament and Observation Haki, he would suppress all enemies and become the supreme legend that future generations could only look up to and chase!

Getting carried away!

Day turned to night, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Sakazuki and the others had left that day.

They had maintained a grim expression throughout, unapproachable. Perhaps it was just a glance from a few pirates that set off the already displeased Sakazuki, who exploded and powerfully and domineeringly defeated dozens of pirate crews.

In the end, he almost leveled one-tenth of Demon Valley Town.

His subordinates also suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for a call from Marineford, Sakazuki might have continued to fight in Demon Valley Town.

In the deep mountains and old forests, a river surged. In front of a rock the size of a villa, Chaos stood bare-chested, revealing his chiseled, muscular eight-pack abs.

His right hand underwent Goldenization, emitting a brilliant golden light under the sun's rays. As a surge of power spread, Chaos's golden right fist visibly darkened, eventually turning black and gold.

Bang!

He clenched his fist, veins bulging. Chaos punched the rock in front of him. As the immense impact spread, the entire rock began to dent where his fist made contact, then spiderweb cracks appeared, and finally, the entire rock shattered like a broken mirror.

A sky-shattering explosion erupted. Rock fragments flew like cannonballs, smashing into the river and creating huge splashes, or hitting the ground and forming small craters.

The entire large rock had exploded.

"As expected, both attack power and defense have increased."

Chaos looked at his black and gold fist. He had gained a preliminary mastery of Armament Haki in these five days.

The speed of mastery was a bit fast, which, from another perspective, was a result of accumulated effort. After all, he had spent over three years laying the foundation, coupled with the enhanced talent from his transmigration, it was entirely within expectations.

It wasn't just Armament Haki; in the future, as long as he found the right direction, mastering Rokushiki would be as natural as water flowing.

"I wonder if Sakazuki has left Demon Valley Town yet, and what about my bounty. It should be at least a hundred million Belly!"

Chaos's heart itched with impatience. He wanted to know his bounty now.

After disrespecting Sakazuki so much five days ago, with his vindictive personality, wouldn't the bounty amount skyrocket?

Moreover, when he left, he had given them the lowest possible figure. They should understand, right!

Scattered golden fragments flew into the air, forming a ten-meter-long giant sword that hovered in the sky. Chaos stood on the hilt, flying towards Demon Valley Town with anticipation.

Demon Valley Town was still the same Demon Valley Town. The battle five days ago had not affected anything. It was the same as it had always been.

"Hey! Look at that!"

"What the hell, that's a huge sword, and it looks like it's made of gold."

"So arrogant and flashy?"

"There's someone on the sword hilt."

"No need to guess, it must be that bastard, the Golden Emperor."

"Being so high-profile and attracting hatred, it can only be him."

Many pirates on the street looked up at the sky. The same annoying figure appeared in their minds almost simultaneously, and then they cursed and went about their business.

After staring for a while, their anger inexplicably flared up again.

They were angry at themselves for no reason.

"Captain, such a huge Golden Giant Sword is worth at least over three billion Belly."

Compared to the pirates who already knew of the Golden Emperor, the new pirate crews who landed on the island over the past five days looked up with nothing but greed.

"Don't be rash. That guy is swaggering through town so brazenly, yet the pirates of Demon Valley Town are only shouting insults. Something's not right!"

"Let's observe the situation first!"

Many pirates were smart enough to realize something was off.

So, they didn't act rashly.

However, many others, blinded by greed, actually followed behind the Giant Golden Sword.

"What idiots!"

Many pirates looked at the new pirates chasing after them with disdain.

If the Golden Emperor were that easy to kill, they would have already cut him down with their swords.

Arriving at the former location of the Tropical Grand Hotel, a five-story wooden building now stood there. It looked quite luxurious and exquisite.

That smoking boss is fast!

The Giant Golden Sword descended, hovering three feet above the ground, blocking out the sunlight.

Many pirates, with dark expressions and eyes filled with displeasure, looked at Chaos and cursed him inwardly.

Just seeing this guy made them angry.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out without warning, startling the surrounding pirates.

Chaos tilted his head slightly towards the direction of the shot. Over twenty fierce-looking, greedy pirates were staring intently at the Giant Golden Sword at their feet.

"Kid, we're taking your gold!"

"Our captain has a bounty of fifteen million."

The twenty-odd pirates were extremely arrogant, with more than ten guns pointed at Chaos.

These idiots!

They're dead.

Many pirates around watched the twenty-odd pirates as if they were looking at imbeciles.

Even Chaos was slightly taken aback, and his expression began to turn grim.

"You don't know who I am?"

Chaos still held onto a sliver of hope.

"Who cares who you are! If you don't want to die, just do as you're told!"

Chaos's eyes instantly turned dangerous.

These people don't even know who I am?

This is too much!

The Giant Golden Sword trembled, instantly splitting into over twenty golden spears that shot towards all the pirates.

The ground exploded repeatedly!

After the screams and pleas for mercy died down, all twenty-odd pirates were impaled on the ground, the pungent smell of blood filling the air, nauseatingly.

Instantly killed!

Not a single one escaped!

"Whoever cleans this up gets this pile of gold. Don't ruin the city's appearance!"

All the gold merged to form three golden warriors. Chaos casually flicked a fist-sized lump of gold onto the ground.

Then, in a very bad mood, he entered the Tropical Grand Hotel.

The lump of gold was then picked up by five or six people who appeared out of nowhere. They quickly cleaned the entire area, and everything returned to normal.

Even the pits left by the golden spears were refilled.

It was obvious they were a professional cleanup crew.
