A Grand Lottery Triggered Again

At the sight of this.

Sakazuki jolted and hurried forward, wanting to make a show of himself.

"Someone, bring the Seastone handcuffs over and cuff him!" Sakazuki shouted.

Immediately after.

Several Marines carrying Seastone handcuffs walked up to Roya.

However, those Marines hesitated.

They looked at Roya with complicated expressions. "Admiral Roya..."

Honestly, how could they possibly dare lay a hand on Roya? With Roya's strength, he was a terrifying existence who could kill them in the blink of an eye.

"You want to cuff me?" Roya sneered, glaring sharply at them.

The few Marines were so frightened by Roya's gaze that they retreated again and again.

Honestly.

Roya had chosen to compromise mainly because Sengoku and Garp had spoken to him sincerely.

If Sengoku and Garp had personally said they wanted to put handcuffs on Roya, he might not have objected. After all, with Roya's powerful Three Haki Colors, these Seastone handcuffs were completely useless against him.

What was more, his Dark-Dark Fruit power and Venom-Venom Fruit power would not be affected by Seastone in any way.

Unfortunately, those words had come from Sakazuki's mouth, so naturally Roya could not simply let him swagger around and show off.

"Damn it!"

"You useless bunch!"

"I'll do it myself!"

Sakazuki angrily stepped forward, snatched the Seastone handcuffs, and stormed toward Roya.

"Sakazuki! Stop right there!"

Garp immediately stepped forward to stop Sakazuki.

"There's no need to cuff Roya! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!" Garp said, standing in front of Roya.

"Garp!"

Sakazuki frowned at Garp. He was clearly extremely displeased with Garp shielding Roya, and the way he gritted his teeth made it seem as though he wanted to make a move against Garp.

"What? Sakazuki, do you want to fight me?" Garp pressed aggressively.

Faced with Garp, Sakazuki froze for a moment, then clenched his fists, but he did not dare truly attack Garp.

After all, Garp was a Marine legend, and his strength was beyond doubt. Besides, Sakazuki had already expended so much effort fighting Roya just now, and there was no reason for him to fight Garp.

"Enough!"

"There's no need to cuff Roya!"

"Let him go to Impel Down like this. Sakazuki, Kuzan, Borsalino, and Garp, the four of you will come with me to Mary Geoise!"

Sengoku, as Fleet Admiral, gave the order directly.

Since Fleet Admiral Sengoku had issued the order, Sakazuki naturally said nothing more. He merely cast Roya an extremely displeased look.

"Roya!"

"Don't act rashly!"

"Sengoku and I will definitely find a way!"

Garp patted Roya on the shoulder and spoke solemnly.

"Mm." Roya nodded.

And so.

Under Fleet Admiral Sengoku's arrangements.

Roya was sent aboard a warship responsible for escorting him to Impel Down.

However.

On this warship, not only was Roya left unrestrained, there was not even an admiral-level guard watching over him.

To put it plainly, Sengoku knew that even if Roya were restrained and all three admirals were sent to guard him.

If Roya truly wanted to escape, it would take no more than a few minutes.

Rather than that.

It was better to let things take their natural course. Sengoku also believed that Roya was a man of his word. Since he had agreed to Sengoku's request, he would certainly not go back on it. There was no need for Sengoku to do anything more to provoke Roya.

Because Sengoku knew that in the days to come, it would not just be Sengoku who needed Roya— the entire Marine force would need Roya's strength!

The warship escorting Roya left the Sabaody Archipelago and sailed across the sea.

Yet the Marines responsible for escorting Roya did not treat him like a prisoner. Instead, they still respectfully addressed him as Admiral Roya and served him the finest food and drink.

To these Marines.

They sincerely admired Roya's strength from the bottom of their hearts.

"Heh."

"I only killed one useless Celestial Dragon."

"And that's enough to throw me into Impel Down?"

"There really is no fairness in this world!"

Roya sneered, shaking his head as he complained.

And he wondered whether his choice had truly been right.

Should I just run? Going to Impel Down would be so boring.

But then Roya remembered that he had promised Garp and Sengoku. He was a man of his word, and since he had promised someone something, he had to keep it.

Suddenly.

The system's voice rang out.

[Ding! Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki are enraged by the host's unfair treatment. They swear to seek justice for the host, and the cultivation speed of all Three Haki Colors has increased twentyfold once more!]

Hearing the system's voice, Roya was completely stunned!

A twentyfold increase in cultivation speed!

What kind of concept was that?

"I never expected that one small choice of mine would bring such a huge surprise!" Roya exclaimed.

At this point, Roya no longer regretted his choice. Otherwise, how would he have obtained this system reward?

Immediately after.

The system's voice seemed not to have stopped.

[Ding! Marine Six Powers: Finger Pistol is extremely enraged by the host's plight. After frantically cultivating and turning grief and indignation into strength, it has achieved a breakthrough!]

[Congratulations, host! Marine Six Powers: Finger Pistol has broken through to the top level!]

At this moment, Roya's excitement had reached its peak.

After Marine Six Powers: Soru had broken through to the top level last time, now Marine Six Powers: Finger Pistol had also broken through to the top level.

Most importantly, Roya knew that once an ability broke through to the top level, what came next would be the mysterious grand lottery.

The previous mysterious grand lottery had given him the Byakugan, which had mutated into the Tenseigan.

What kind of surprise would this mysterious grand lottery bring him this time?

"System, System, hurry! Is there some kind of grand lottery?" This time, Roya took the initiative and asked first.

[Replying to host, there is!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the top-level cultivation reward for Marine Six Powers: Finger Pistol. The system has activated the mysterious lottery for you!]

[Would you like to draw now?]

"Draw!" Did he even need to think about it?

[Drawing...]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully drawn the ability 'Armament Conqueror's Haki Infusion'!]
