[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the mission to kill Wapol and his subordinate soldiers. The system reward is +50 energy points!]
“Heh, this task is simple,” Rokujin chuckled, steering his boat towards Wapol’s ship at high speed.
Meanwhile, the people on the ship noticed Rokujin approaching and quickly reported to Wapol, “Prince… someone is coming!”
“What? Is it the Navy?” Wapol’s face lit up as he grabbed the soldier’s hands, urgently asking.
The soldier, sweating profusely, stammered, “Yes, it’s the Navy!” He could recognise the uniform Rokujin was wearing.
“Really? The Navy! Take me there! We don’t need to fear those pirates if the Navy is here!” Wapol’s face was filled with joy.
“Alright!” The soldier led Wapol to the ship’s side, pointing towards Rokujin’s direction, “Prince, over there!”
“Good!” Following the soldier’s direction, Wapol saw a single Navy man approaching in a tiny boat. Instantly, his face twisted with anger, and his arm transformed into a long gun aimed at the soldier.
“You idiot! Just one Navy man and you tell me the Navy is here?”
“Bang!” With a gunshot, the dark bullet pierced the soldier’s head, a splash of bright red blood marking his end. He died without understanding that he had told the truth.
Wapol then aimed the gun at Rokujin, cursing, “Useless Navy! What good are you now?”
“Bang!” Another bullet was fired.
“What a tyrant, indeed deserving death!” Rokujin’s eyes flashed as he slightly tilted his head, allowing the bullet to miss.
“What?! He dodged it!” Wapol was stunned. He raised his other hand, which also turned into a long gun, and fired both guns at Rokujin in rapid succession.
“Bang! Bang! Bang…” With his Devil Fruit powers, Wapol’s guns fired without needing to reload, unleashing a barrage of dark bullets.
“Try dodging this!” Wapol shouted.
“Heh,” Rokujin sneered, lightly stepping on his boat. His figure vanished, using Moonwalk to appear in mid-air.
In Wapol’s eyes, Rokujin seemed to have disappeared into thin air. “Where is he? Where did he go?”
“To attack a Navy Rear Admiral, you are hereby sentenced to death!” Rokujin’s cold voice echoed from above. He raised his sword and unleashed a powerful sword slash.
“You…” Wapol’s eyes widened in fear. He opened his mouth, transforming his flesh into a thick iron wall to block the attack. His entire body morphed into a small fortress.
“Munch-Munch Factory!” Wapol cried.
However, he underestimated Rokujin’s strength. The sword slash instantly cut through the iron wall and the fortress, splitting Wapol in half with precision.
As his body was sliced open, Wapol’s eyes bulged in disbelief. “You… dared to kill me!”
He was a noble, a prince! How could a Navy officer dare to kill him?
Moments later, his Devil Fruit power faded, and his body reverted to flesh, leaving a bloody wound. Blood poured out as Wapol fell, his eyes filled with unwillingness and regret, lying dead beside the soldier he had killed, both with similar expressions.
Seeing their prince killed, the remaining soldiers panicked.
“The prince is dead! Run!”
“The Navy killed the prince! Run!”
“Run!”
Rokujin’s eyes turned icy as he smirked, “Since you saw me kill Wapol, none of you can live either!” Killing a prince would have repercussions, so he decided to leave no witnesses.
With a swing of his sword, Zhan Tian, covered in a blood-red aura, unleashed a devastating slash. The entire ship was cut in half, and the soldiers aboard were torn to shreds by the sword’s energy. The ship itself was reduced to splinters.
“Boom!” With a resounding explosion, the ship and its crew were obliterated as if they had never existed.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. System reward: +50 energy points!]
Rokujin glanced at the wreckage and turned to leave, but a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him.
“I didn’t expect a Navy Rear Admiral to strike down a noble, and a prince at that!”
“Hm?” Rokujin frowned and quickly turned around, seeing a man he hadn’t noticed before.
The man had a rugged appearance, thick body hair, and a burly build. His black hair was tousled, and he wore a headscarf. He had two necklaces around his neck, bracelets on his wrists, and various rings on his fingers.
【Character: Marshall D. Teach】【Position: Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates】【Devil Fruit: Dark-Dark Fruit】【Level: S+】【Skills: Devil Fruit Development (S)】【Bounty: 10 million Beli】
At this point, Blackbeard hadn’t made a name for himself yet, so his bounty was relatively low, and his crew was small. It wasn’t until the Paramount War that his name began to resound throughout the Grand Line.
Suddenly, the system’s notification sounded.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the mission: Kill Blackbeard. System reward: + energy points, +1 Sword Technique, +2 levels to a chosen skill!]
“What? The system triggered this mission too?” Rokujin was slightly surprised but accepted the mission, as there was no time limit. He wasn’t confident he could kill Marshall D. Teach just yet, but he’d take the opportunity when it came.
“My business has nothing to do with you,” Rokujin said with a light laugh after a moment’s thought.
“Haha, you’re right, it doesn’t. I came here to kill him, but you did the job for me, making things easier,” Blackbeard laughed heartily. From Rokujin’s earlier display, he could tell this young Navy officer was no ordinary figure. He also recognised Rokujin’s identity—Monkey D. Rokujin, grandson of the Navy hero, Garp. This had been published in the newspapers. Garp’s public acknowledgment meant that anyone touching Rokujin would oppose Garp himself.
