Chapter 52
The only one who was allowed to move freely, Vice Admiral Garp, I heard he took leave and went home...
At this moment, Fleet Admiral Kong, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
"Regardless, it's an undeniable fact that White Ghost's actions have hindered the World Government and the Navy's operations. Instruct your subordinates to prepare for the issuance of an arrest warrant..."
"Hmph!" Zephyr snorted coldly, but ultimately said nothing.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, "So, what's the initial Bounty to be? To hold his own against Sakazuki in a head-on confrontation, that's at least the level of a 300 million Great Pirate, right?"
Fleet Admiral Kong pondered for a moment.
"Tentatively set at... 95 million Beli!"
"Bounty Level: ONLY ALIVE!"
[Chapter 92 [Pirates]]
When Adrian saw his Bounty poster, it was three days later.
"The dragon slayer will become the Arlong himself!"
"And I will become Pirates here!"
"As expected, we've all become the kind of people we used to hate the most..."
After a good rant, Adrian finally calmed down and began to pay attention to the rest of the information on the Bounty poster.
"The photos turned out pretty good, give the photographer a bonus!"
"But why is the Bounty only 95 million Beli? They didn't even give me 100 million Beli, that's so rude..."
"And speaking of which, why was it specifically labeled [ONLY ALIVE]?"
"In the original work, it seems only Vinsmoke Sanji has this mark, right?"
"But that wasn't something that could be accomplished without Pops Judge bribing the World Government and the Navy, after a deal where 'one dares not speak loudly behind the wall, lest a jade pestle strike the rear courtyard.'"
"Could it be that I also have connections in high places?"
Just then, the panel suddenly refreshed with new messages.
[A bounty has been Bounty the Navy!]
You've acquired the Secondary Profession [Apprentice Pirate]!
Ah...
This wave...
Adrian blinked, then instantly poured experience points into leveling up.
[Your new job [Apprentice Pirate] has been upgraded to LV10 (max). Your Stamina increased, Strength +10, Stamina +10, and you have gained 20 Free Attribute Points and 10 Skill Point!]
This wave...
It seems to be called "freeloading"...
However, the prompts on the panel didn't stop there.
[Detected that the [Apprentice Pirate] Secondary Profession has reached the maximum level!]
You have triggered the Profession Upgrade Quest [Pirates]!
[Mission Requirement: Your Bounty must reach 5 million Beli!]
[Quest Reward: Apprentice Pirate's class is upgraded to Pirates!]
On the panel, in the upper left corner of the task icon, there is a bright gold exclamation mark, which indicates that the task has been completed.
Adrian: "..."
Are there any other Profession Upgrade Quest in the world that are this easy?
You're awesome!
I love it!
Tap the task icon.
[Profession Upgrade Quest completed!]
[You have acquired a new profession - [Pirates], your Stamina slightly increased, Strength +2, Stamina +2, and you have gained 3 Free Attribute Points and 1 Skill Point!]
Experience was put back into play.
[Detected that the [Pirates] Secondary Profession has reached the maximum level!]
You have triggered the Profession Upgrade Quest [The Great Pirate]!
[Mission Requirement: Your Bounty must reach 50 million Beli!]
[Quest Reward: Upgrade your [Pirates] class to [Great Pirate]!]
"..."
[You have acquired a new class - [Great Pirate], your Stamina increased by 3, your Stamina by 3, you have gained 4 Free Attribute Points, and you have gained 1 Skill Point!]
Adrian glanced at the panel. Even though the newly acquired [Pirates] was his seventh Secondary Profession, the experience penalty wasn't too much, so he decided to keep leveling up!
[Detected that the [Great Pirate] Secondary Profession has been upgraded to the maximum level!]
You have triggered the Profession Upgrade Quest [Supernovas]!
[Mission Requirements: 1. Have a Bounty of 100 million Beli; 2. Defeat a Marine Vice Admiral]
Adrian inexplicably let out a sigh of relief, calming his tense emotions.
Finally, I haven't encountered Profession Upgrade Quest that can be completed directly!
He was strangely nervous about getting a new job so easily and leveling up so many times in an instant.
Even though the level cap for Secondary Profession is only 10, the combination of [Apprentice Pirate] + [Pirates] + [Great Pirate] instantly grants three Secondary Profession, resulting in a terrifying increase in strength!
In total, Strength +60, Stamina +60, Free Attribute Points +90, Skill Point +30.
It's like a windfall from heaven!!!
Allocate all Free Attribute Points to Intelligence, and temporarily retain Skill Point.
Adrian glanced at the panel information.

I thought being wanted by the Navy and becoming Pirates would be a very frustrating thing.
But to his surprise, the unexpected start of Secondary Profession completely lifted Adrian's spirits.
He even felt a little resentful that the Marine Headquarters hadn't set a higher Bounty; if they had, the [Supernovas] mission would have been half complete!
Thinking of the mission, Adrian checked the control panel.
In the Supernovas mission, is the requirement for "defeating a Marine Vice Admiral" to be Headquarters Vice Admiral or a Branch Vice Admiral?
Even within the Navy, the abilities of people in the same rank can vary drastically.
Because of a certain person, the rank of Marine Vice Admiral is already quite peculiar.
The difference between Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral and Vice Admiral at the Four Blues Branch is like heaven and earth!
The panel responded quickly.
[No specific requirements, only for Vice Admiral positions!]
"That makes things much simpler."
Adrian felt much more relieved. Before heading to the Grand Line, encountering Headquarters Vice Admiral within the four outer seas was a rather difficult task.
There is a Sakazuki nearby...
But should we provoke that mad dog again?
Adrian would never do something so stupid!
"But there are still other tasks that need to be completed..."
Looking at the B-rank random quest [Justice's Massacre] on the panel, Adrian couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, I'm already wanted by the Navy as Pirates, as long as..."
Before he could finish speaking, several more notifications popped up on the panel.
[The [Pirates] Secondary Profession has been detected!]
[You have initiated a naval faction relationship!]
[The Navy's affinity towards you has increased; the current relationship is Neutral!]
"... This is absolutely unbelievable! My favorability rating has increased! I'm Pirates now!"
Adrian instantly went berserk.
"And you guys increased my favorability rating, yet you still issued me a wanted notice? What kind of weird tactic is this?"
However, the prompts on the panel did not end there.
[You have activated the Pirate Bounty-to-Experience Exchange System at a ratio of 10:1!]
[You have activated the Navy Simulated Bounty Testing System, with a ratio of 10:1!]
After figuring out this so-called "bounty for experience points system," Adrian's mood instantly soured again.
This newly unlocked subsystem ability can automatically detect the bounty of enemy Pirates, and automatically grant experience points equal to one-tenth of their bounty upon defeating or killing them.
If it were the navy, they would roughly estimate his strength level and then calculate the bounty Bounty on the amount detected by the system.
For example, Chinjao's stated Bounty is 542 million Beli.
If Adrian had activated this subsystem beforehand, he would have received an additional 54.2 million bounty experience points on top of the original reward for killing enemies above his level!
And then consider all those Pirates we chased before...
A feeling of having made a huge mistake instantly welled up in my heart!
Adrian thought to himself, "Why do Pirates get to unlock so many fancy features? Why don't Swordsman get all these perks?"
[Chapter 93 Mission Settlement]
Several months later.
South Blue, Mira Island.
This is a very ordinary small island with a mild and pleasant climate. There are at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, such small islands in the South Blue.
In the very center of the island lies a small town.
On the once peaceful and bustling main street of the town, squads of cold-faced naval soldiers moved back and forth among the noisy crowd, occasionally forcefully pulling out women of marriageable age from the crowd.
If they encounter resistance, they will simply turn their guns on the innocent civilians and threaten them with brutal firepower.
The World Government Agent, dressed in suits, held a thick stack of documents and examined each of the pregnant women brought before them, verifying their identities one by one based on intelligence gathered from local Doctor.
If a pregnant woman is found to have been pregnant before Roger's Execution last year, no matter how minor the suspicion, she will be taken away immediately!
Just as the naval soldiers and government Agent finished searching all the people in the town and were preparing to take away all the suspicious persons for centralized processing, they suddenly noticed a young man in a black suit appearing in the sky.
Below, a well-informed Agent widened instantly, his pupils shrinking to tiny points, as he shouted in terror, "It's [White Ghost]!"
Dream Ghost: Sleeping Curse!
