No, I Need to Make Money

The Five Elders ' faces were contorted with rage!

Hundreds of agents!

All that's left are these useless bastards!

Why don't you all just die?!

Even for a large Cipher Pol, selecting hundreds of agents to carry out a mission is a major undertaking.

In particular, the entire team that carried out this mission was composed of elite troops.

Not only are they quite capable.

Their loyalty to the World Government is beyond question.

It's no exaggeration to say that for the World Government, the Navy is just an outsourced worker; the truly elite members of the Cipher Pol are the real right-hand men!

This time, however, they lost hundreds of people!

To say it was a serious injury would not be an exaggeration.

If they could, the Five Elders would really like to twist the heads off these people in front of them!

"Tell me, what information have you gathered! Is that man really someone you can't handle?!"

"This... please take a look yourself."

Faced with the Five Elders, whose faces were contorted with rage, the agents didn't dare utter a sound, and could only exchange bewildered glances before finally handing over a report.

"If you can't satisfy everyone, then all of you should commit suicide! The World Government doesn't tolerate useless people!"

One of the Five Elders snorted coldly.

He first gave the agents in front of him a cold look, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, and then snatched the intelligence.

He wanted to see just what other skills that man had up his sleeve!

However, his face immediately darkened upon seeing the report.

The more he looked, the more terrified he became.

It wasn't until much later that the Five Elders, with a grim expression, handed the intelligence to the others.

The other four people had the same expression after reading it.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became deathly silent.

What should be done?

"Only by suppressing this can we issue our orders! From today onwards, all intelligence regarding this person must be personally reviewed by us; no one is allowed to open it without authorization! At the same time... suspend all investigations into him and those around him; you are only permitted to passively gather intelligence."

After a long period of deathly silence, the Five Elders finally issued their formal orders with grim expressions.

"Yes!"

The agents, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, quickly agreed and turned to leave.

Just look at the expressions on the Five Elders, and you'll understand, right?

Starting today.

Anyone who investigates this matter will be doomed!

As elites specially trained by the World Government, they naturally know what to do.

As mentioned before.

The way to immortality is to neither listen, speak, nor ask.

Even after the few agents who had narrowly escaped death closed the door, the Five Elders remained silent.

"Could it be... that we're really just going to let it go like this?"

After a long pause, the Five Elders, with the First Generation Kitetsu hanging from their waists, spoke with an extremely grim expression.

"What else can we do? At least until we find out more about that man, we can't keep probing him. And besides that... everyone should think about how to report to that lord."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once again.

I second that.

Eighteen years later, on an unnamed island within the Whitebeard Pirates' territory.

Without warning, a ripple-like wave suddenly appeared in the space above the island, and then a figure fell straight out of it.

"Damn system! Do you only feel happy when you do this every time?!"

As soon as Lin Yan landed, she couldn't help but start cursing.

The Five Elders probably never imagined, even if they racked their brains, that the mysterious man they had been searching for for nearly twenty years, both openly and secretly, was actually a time traveler.

"..."

The system remained aloof as always, indicating that it did not want to talk to Lin Yan.

After venting her frustrations to no avail, Lin Yan could only compose herself and assess her current situation.

The first thing!

How much money did I actually spend?!

With a pained expression on her face, Lin Yan's first action was to take out the Holy Grail of the Underworld to verify its contents.

"... Squeeze it until it hurts!"

One-fifth!

To change Little Hancock's physique, and then, with the help of the Holy Grail of the Underworld, to unleash that earth-shattering attack.

It actually consumed a full fifth of the Celestial Dragons' treasure!

This is outrageous!

This terrifying amount of money, even if you took Whitebeard at his peak and exchanged his bounty for it, you probably couldn't make up for it!

Is there no law left?!

Although I already knew that the Holy Grail of the Underworld consumed terrifying amounts of treasure, seeing a full fifth of the treasure disappear from the Holy Grail was still quite a shock.

Lin Yan was still so heartbroken she couldn't breathe.

Can't you even offer a discount or promotion?!

But to be fair...

It's really easy to use.

To be honest, although this trip seemed like a tale of chivalry and revenge, only Lin Yan herself knew that it was actually extremely dangerous.

Imagine if we didn't have the Holy Grail of the Underworld.

He brazenly threatened the Five Elders and then eliminated all the elite agents who followed him...

Even Lin Yan wouldn't dare say she could escape unscathed.

So this thing is great in every way.

Blood is so expensive!

No, I need to find a way to make money!

After standing there for a while, heartbroken and struggling to breathe, Lin Yan's eyes quickly brightened.

He now has only one thought!

Make money!

no way.

Based on my own experience, the Holy Grail of the Underworld is incredibly powerful; for the people of this world, it is practically unbeatable.

Even if it's expensive, it's still a good deal!

You know, if I went to the Five Elders and said I had a way to make them immortal just by spending money, they would definitely try their best to give me the wealth that the Celestial Dragons had accumulated over eight hundred years, even if it cost twice as much!

No one can resist such a miracle!

For these top-tier individuals, money is nothing more than a string of meaningless numbers.

Of all things, only immortality is noble!

"Phew... Great product, but it's a bit of a rip-off."

Lin Yan carefully put away the Holy Grail of the Underworld, adjusted her mindset, exhaled, and then looked around at her surroundings.

It's still that deserted island.

It was exactly the same as when I left.

It seems that while the system's offerings may have minor flaws at times, overall they are not particularly outrageous.

Lin Yan thought to herself with some satisfaction.

Little did he know that this current way of thinking would dig a bottomless pit for his future self...

Of course, that's a story for another time, so let's leave it at that for now.

With a cheerful mood, Lin Yan stood up and dusted herself off.

"In any case, let's go back to the pirate crew and check first!"
