The Terrifying Improvement of Conqueror's Haki

Koby scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment.

"Your scumbag father really doesn't care about anything, all he does is drink. He'll drink himself to death sooner or later." The fisherman shook his head, feeling sympathy for the 11-year-old child.

"Be careful, Koby. Pirates are rampant around here lately, and the Navy probably won't have time to deal with them for a while."

"Ah?"

"The Navy is conducting World Military Draft, and all branches are taking action; that's what the news says."

When the topic of conscription came up, the fisherman's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's it! You should just join the army. It's better than following that drunkard father. Who knows, he might sell you one day when he's short of money for alcohol."

After saying that, he slapped his forehead again.

"I almost forgot, at your age, the Navy wouldn't want you. At best, you'd be relegated to menial tasks like cleaning."

Koby fell silent. With his small arms and legs, how could he dare to become a marine? That meant fighting against ruthless pirates, and he might die at sea one day.

Rather than thinking about the future, catching more fish at sea is the most important thing right now.

Sabaody Archipelago.

The Wave-Breaking Warrior was still in the New World, returning to rendezvous with Mammon. He had come back alone; he preferred the feeling of being on solid ground to being on the ship.

At this moment, in a certain restaurant.

The murmurs around him caught Dimon's attention.

"The Navy suddenly wants to World Military Draft?"

"Is the content in the newspaper credible? This is the World Economy News Paper, and it's even written by Morgans herself."

"That damn birdbrain wouldn't make up something like this, would he?"

"What are you thinking? Don't forget who we are. We're all pirates! Do you think we can switch sides and join the Navy?"

"Why not? Marines often fall into depravity and become pirates. Why can marines become pirates, but we pirates can't switch careers and become marines?"

"There's no point in talking to an idiot. I'm speechless."

Dimon smiled too.

There are so many talented people in One Piece; you think it's a game where you can change jobs at will?

Even in a game, the Horde's pigs can't become the Alliance's dogs...

However, the navy's sudden World Military Draft is indeed quite interesting.

He got up and walked towards the table opposite him.

"Could I borrow the newspaper to read?"

Who are you?

"I'm your bounty hunter grandpa!"

Dimon spread his five fingers and grabbed a pirate's head.

"Ouch!" the pirate cried out in pain, begging for mercy, "Grandpa, spare me! Grandpa, spare me!"

Considering the sincerity with which the other man called him "Grandpa," Dimon let him off the hook for the time being, then snatched the newspaper away.

The pirates at the table looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them was about to Wrath when his companion immediately grabbed his shoulder.

"Are you an idiot? Don't you know this guy? You want your skull crushed?"

Who is it?

"The bounty hunter recently active in the Sabaody Archipelago, the swordsman Zoro! He captured a Supernovas!"

"Hiss... I can't afford to mess with them."

Everyone gasped; the ruthless pirate instantly transformed into a docile child.

Dimon had no idea he was so famous; Zoro, far away in the East Blue, should thank him.

Ignoring the group of pirates, he carefully read through the news.

"Is this considered ahead of schedule?"

With that thought in mind, Dimon returned the newspaper to the group of pirates and then turned to leave.

The pirates exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.

"Is this guy going to participate in the World Military Draft?"

"He's a bounty hunter, with a clean record; maybe that's really the case."

Why don't you arrest us?

Everyone immediately looked at this idiot as if he were a moron, without even considering how much bounty they had on their heads.

Those are bounty hunters who can capture Supernovas, why would they look down on ordinary pirates?

"Don't speak anymore, I'm afraid people will misunderstand."

"Idiots are contagious. I think we should tell the captain and have him fire you!"

"So why don't they arrest us? Are they looking down on us?!"

Outside the restaurant.

Dimon headed toward the Marine Base located in Area 66.

He wasn't really going to join the navy; he was just there to watch the excitement.

"Ain, what's the situation with Mammon?"

[Master, Mammon was recently promoted to Marine Vice Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Candidate that was considered exceptional.]

[Just now, Sengoku informed Mammon that he should also participate in the World Military Draft; perhaps he'll have a chance to become Admiral.]

For a moment, Dimon didn't know where to begin his rant.

He initially sent Mammon to infiltrate the navy simply to find out Punk Hazard's location.

As time went by, this guy was practically rising to the Admiral...

How long has it been?

Dimon had no doubt about Mammon's combat abilities. If no hidden monsters emerged during this conscription, Mammon's chances of becoming Admiral were at least 99%, if not 100%.

"This guy is highly regarded in the Sengoku period."

[Master, I think it's because of Zephyr.]

"Their expressions will be something to look forward to when Mammon's true identity is revealed."

Just thinking about it makes Dimon want to laugh.

The funniest part was three years later, or more accurately, a little over two years later.

If the Paramount War breaks out again, the position of Fleet Admiral will have to be changed again, and Mammon might actually become Fleet Admiral then.

At that time, shouldn't the Marine Headquarters simply be renamed the Seven Deadly Sins Headquarters?

With this in mind, Dimon decisively gave the order:

"Tell Mammon that we must seize the position of Admiral! That's the mission!"

[Yes.]

Shortly afterward, Dimon arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago Marine Base.

The base is located in area GR66, and its official full name is "Sabaody Archipelago Naval G-12 Branch".

When Dimon arrived, a long line had already formed at the entrance of the base, with at least several hundred people registering.

Maybe we should just forget about it; we don't necessarily have to join in the fun...

"Young man, are you here to register too?"

At that moment, the man at the very end of the queue turned around and greeted them.

When he saw Dimon's face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"It's you, the bounty hunter who captured the Supernovas."

Hehe...

Dimon's lips twitched slightly; he never expected to be so famous in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Where did this image of his come from? How come just any random passerby recognizes him?

Do you know me?

"I know you. You're quite famous in the bounty hunter circle, Mr. Zoro! I didn't expect you to participate in the World Military Draft."

"So, you're a bounty hunter too?"

"My name is Rainer, and I come from the bounty hunter organization, the Cider Guild."

Bounty hunters have organizations and guilds?

Dimon thought for a moment and vaguely felt that the name "Cider Guild" sounded familiar.

So he didn't rush to leave, but instead joined the queue and chatted with a bounty hunter named Rainer.

Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters.

After a long period of repairs, the ruins have been cleared away, and the entire fortress is under reconstruction, with construction workers busy everywhere.

At the inner bay port, a warship is ready to depart.

Momousagi took out a pocket watch, glanced at the time,

"Honestly, they're still not here? How long do we have to wait?"

"Hey, Miss Gion, why are you so angry? Why don't we just leave first? There's no need to wait for Mammon."

The speaker had narrow, slit-like eyes, wore a brown top hat, a yellow belly band, and a righteous cloak befitting Marine Vice Admiral.

He wore wooden clogs, had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and exuded a nonchalant and frivolous air.

Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, concurrently Admiral Candidate, "Chaton" (Tokikake high-ranking official).

Faced with this annoying suitor, Momousagi secretly rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

Tokikake didn't take it to heart; he believed in relentless pursuit of women, and he was already used to Momousagi's indifference.

Just then, a figure flew in from the horizon.

Mammon landed in front of the two and quickly folded his wings.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting. The Fleet Admiral and I spoke for a while."

Tokikake shook his leg. "Hey kid, don't think that just because you've suddenly become Admiral Candidate, you can be on equal footing with us. You're still too green. Don't keep my Momousagi waiting this long next time."

"Ignore him."

Momousagi pursed her lips and walked towards the warship first:

"Our trip to the Sabaody Archipelago is for military selection. As Admiral Candidate, we must participate in this operation. We cannot afford to hold back and risk being eliminated; we must at least make it to the third round."

Mammon didn't care. Ain had already conveyed his master's order: he had to get the position of Admiral.

Therefore, it is necessary to reveal some of our true strength.

I just hope that too many monsters won't appear in the countryside...

Chapter 178 The Terrifying Enhancement of Conqueror's Haki

The warship departed from the inner bay of the main fleet and arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago about half an hour later.

When Mammon and his two companions arrived at the G-12 Branch, a series of exclamations immediately rang out from the long line of people queuing to register for the World Military Draft.

"It's Vice Admiral Momousagi, Vice Admiral Candidate! Oh my, what a beauty!"
