Watching the pirate ship flee farther and farther away.
A Navy major hurried over and asked, "Rear Admiral Roya, those pirates are getting away. Should we pursue them?"
"Getting away?"
"Not one of them is getting away!"
"Open fire and sink their pirate ship!"
Roya issued the order without hesitation.
Having been won over by the power Roya had displayed, the Marines' morale soared at his command, and every sailor sprang into action.
Roya could not even be bothered to deal with the remaining lackeys himself.
Instead, he was reflecting on the two abilities he had just unleashed.
The first was the Dark-Dark Fruit power. It had now reached the intermediate level, and through using it, he had discovered that the Dark-Dark Fruit held many more mysteries.
As for the second ability, the Venom-Venom Fruit power, Roya liked it quite a bit as well. Once unleashed, it could eliminate enemies cleanly and decisively. It was extremely powerful.
With only low-level Venom-Venom Fruit power, he had already been able to use a skill like Venom Dragon to instantly kill Jack the Drought. One could imagine how terrifying it would become in battle if he cultivated the Venom-Venom Fruit power to its limit, or even awakened the fruit.
Meanwhile, following Roya's orders, the soldiers operated every cannon on the Warship, aiming them all at the Beasts Pirates' ship fleeing in panic across the distant sea.
Boom! Boom!!
What followed was a barrage of countless cannonballs.
Under the bombardment of the Warship's countless shells, no matter how sturdy the Beasts Pirates' ship had been, it was blown apart and sank completely beneath the sea.
After all.
Most of the pirates aboard had eaten Artificial Devil Fruits. Even if those Devil Fruits were artificial, they still carried the Devil Fruit's "curse of the sea." Once these landlubbers fell into the water, they had no way to save themselves and could only wait silently for death.
As for the few pirates aboard who had not eaten Artificial Devil Fruits, they were not strong enough to begin with and had no chance of surviving after falling overboard.
It could be said that the Beasts Pirates members led by Jack the Drought had been almost completely wiped out.
As for Jack the Drought, once the venomous gas from the Venom-Venom Fruit dispersed from his body, the Marines shackled him with Seastone and brought him aboard the Warship.
Not only that, but the Donquixote Family was treated the same way. Every officer, along with Donquixote Doflamingo, was arrested.
According to Sengoku's arrangements.
He had originally come to summon Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai, back to Marine Headquarters.
Yet Roya had unexpectedly encountered Jack the Drought while he was conducting an underground deal with Donquixote Doflamingo.
Roya had not wanted to meddle in the first place, but Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack the Drought had taken the initiative to provoke him. He could hardly be blamed for acting.
So.
Roya had already decided on their next destination—not Marine Headquarters, but Impel Down!
That was right! They would head straight to Impel Down and imprison Donquixote Doflamingo, a Shichibukai, along with Jack the Drought!
He meant what he said. Since he had said he would lock them up in Impel Down, then into Impel Down they would go!
After Roya returned to the Warship.
Donquixote Doflamingo looked at him and sneered, "Fufufu! Do you really think you can lock me up in Impel Down? I know far too many things. The people above will definitely let me out."
"Is that so?"
Roya merely glanced at him and sneered. "That's your business. Either way, I'll throw you into Impel Down. If you have what it takes, then come back out. But from now on, every time I see you, I'll send you back in. Let's see how many times you can get out!"
"Roya! Don't go too far!"
"You should know that this time, it isn't just me you've offended. You've also offended the Beasts Pirates!"
"You actually dared to capture Jack the Drought! Let me tell you clearly: Kaido will never let you off!"
"Don't think that beating us means you can deal with Kaido. He's one of the Four Emperors!"
Donquixote Doflamingo, who had always cared greatly about his pride, roared furiously.
Roya did not even acknowledge him. He simply waved his hand, and Donquixote Doflamingo's entire group was taken away and locked up.
Just like that.
Roya led the Warship as it sped across the vast sea once more.
Four Emperors?
Were they that strong? So what?
Roya did not care in the slightest.
At the same time.
The system's voice rang out.
[Ding! Your Conqueror's Haki believes that a true conqueror should be like this—fearless!] [Your Conqueror's Haki resonance has greatly increased!] [Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your Conqueror's Haki has broken through, granting you the power of Conqueror's Haki Infusion!] [Ding! Your Six Powers—"Soru"—was stimulated by Conqueror's Haki's breakthrough. In order not to hold Conqueror's Haki back, it has finally broken through its final shackles!] [Congratulations, Host. Six Powers "Soru" has reached max level!]
What!?
His Conqueror's Haki, which had stubbornly refused to break through, had actually advanced?
Previously, his Conqueror's Haki had already been able to manifest into tangible attacks. After this breakthrough, it could now be emitted and infused like Armament Haki!
One had to know that among experts possessing Conqueror's Haki, only a very small number could master Conqueror's Haki Infusion!
Most importantly!
The Navy Six Powers had actually reached max level as well!
In the entire Pirate World, Roya was likely the only person capable of training the Navy Six Powers to max level.
After all, no one else had the aid of a system!
Just as Roya was still immersed in his joy.
The system's voice sounded once again.
[Congratulations, Host. Six Powers "Soru" has reached max level and completed its automatic cultivation project. The system has unlocked a mysterious reward for you!] [Ding! This mysterious reward is: Alternate-Dimension Draw!] [Would you like to draw now?]
"Start the draw immediately!" Roya confirmed without the slightest hesitation.
He had not expected this mysterious reward to be an Alternate-Dimension Draw. If he did not draw now, when would he?
As the saying went, only an idiot turned down a free advantage!
[Drawing in progress...] [Ding! Congratulations, Host. Draw successful. You have obtained the ocular ability "Byakugan" from the world of Naruto!] [Congratulations, Host. An automatic cultivation project for the "Byakugan" ability has been established!]
When he heard that reward.
Roya's first reaction was utter bewilderment.
"Byakugan?" Roya asked in confusion.
Wasn't this one of the three great ocular techniques from the Naruto world?
Had the system switched channels? Or had it picked up the wrong script?
In truth, the system did not even need to explain it.
As a veteran manga fan in his previous life, how could he possibly not know what the Byakugan could do?
The Byakugan was essentially a pair of x-ray eyes that could see an opponent's meridians, acupoints, and the flow of chakra through the human body. It could also see through objects, view distant places, and possessed exceptional observational power.
The Byakugan of the main family even had a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree field of vision with no blind spots.
"Does this thing really hold much significance for me in the Pirate World?"
"When it comes to perception and observation, top-level Observation Haki can even foresee the near future."
"When it comes to strengthening my power, I already have Armament Haki, and now my Conqueror's Haki can be infused as well."
"Not to mention the Navy Six Powers that will reach max level in the future, along with my two Devil Fruit powers."
"Unless this Byakugan can evolve..."
The more Roya thought about it, the more useless this Byakugan ocular technique seemed.
It was the sort of thing that was useless to keep, yet a shame to throw away.
Suddenly, the system's voice rang out yet again.
[Ding! Your ocular technique—"Byakugan"—was looked down upon. After sensing the overwhelming power of Conqueror's Haki and other abilities, it was deeply stimulated and became so depressed that it wanted to commit suicide. However, an unexpected mutation occurred before it could do so, and it directly evolved into the "Tenseigan"!] [Congratulations, Host. An automatic cultivation project for the ocular technique "Tenseigan" has been unlocked!]
