The scene that unfolded on the warship's deck evoked a loud cheers from the navy crew—a spontaneous tribute to their formidable leader.
Navy Crew: "Long live Lieutenant General Kahn, long live Lieutenant General Kahn!"
The formidable slash of Kahn's blade left an indelible mark on the air, a testament to the prowess of a true swordsman. Even at his age, his skill was nothing short of terrifying.
Across the waters, the pirates met their doom in the form of Kahn's strike. Some were left screaming in terror, unfortunate souls cleaved into two.
Yet Kahn didn't spare the scene a second glance. He simply slung the red tasseled blade over his shoulder and moved on. To him, pirates were no more worthy of compassion than the celestial dragons themselves.
IN his opinion, Pirates' claims of seeking freedom had long lost their appeal to him. They were not the virtuous rebels they portrayed themselves to be. This conviction was rooted in his fifty years of naval experience.
The notion of freedom championed by pirates was a farce to him, and this skepticism extended even to figures like Luffy, once a hero in his eyes. After the events at Enies Lobby, Luffy had lost his luster.
After issuing orders to Pochi to follow the standard procedure and report to his office later, Kahn's brow furrowed.
Kahn: (grumbling) "Power's slipping away and I am getting weak. It's annoying as hell."
The constant march of time had begun to erode his strength and vitality, a discomfort he couldn't ignore. For years, he had sought a solution—perhaps a means to halt the aging process itself.
Kahn: (musing) "Maybe there's something out there... a way to combat this inevitable decline."
That fleeting hope had kept him traversing the world, a search that had eluded him for half a century.
Then, in a moment that seemed to resonate with his thoughts, an unexpected voice echoed in Kahn's mind.
DING "Congratulations to the host. The super money system has been loaded successfully."
The term "super money system" piqued Kahn's curiosity. It carried the promise of wealth, a resource he had always been adept at accumulating.
Kahn: (intrigued) "Super money system? Sounds like a path to riches."
With a newfound sense of purpose, Kahn delved into uncovering the system's secrets.
However, his enthusiasm was quelled by a stark reality—the system's interface lacked any form of explanation.
Kahn: (bewildered) "System, seriously? No instructions?"
DING "Yes, activation requires Bailey."
Kahn: (confused) "Bailey? What's that?"
DING "It's the currency of this world."
Kahn: (sighing) "You're relentless, aren't you?"
Despite his frustration, Kahn's financial prowess wasn't to be underestimated. He had found his own way in this world, amassing wealth through diverse means.
Kahn: (determined) "Alright, let's play your game. How much?"
System: "Rough version: 10,000 Baileys
detailed version: 1 million Baileys
deluxe version: 10 million Baileys."
Kahn: (astonished) "Unbelievable. You're robbing me !"
System: "The prices are clearly stated. No deceit."
Kahn: (grumbling) "Deluxe version, then."
System: "Congratulations on your deluxe version purchase."
:As information streamed before him, Kahn read through the dense contents. The system's functions and rules unfolded, revealing a world of possibilities.
Kahn: (marveling) "This is insane... and costly."
Narrator: Despite his reservations, Kahn recognized the system's potential value—wealth beyond measure, with the ability to buy almost anything.
Kahn: (thoughtful) "It's like a capitalist's dream."
Yet, the system came at a price— real substantial and expensive price.
Kahn: (intrigued) "So much to explore, so much to gain..."
Kahn: (curious) "Is there a way to restore someone's peak condition?"
System: "A portion of the water of life can achieve that, it will worth 20 billion Baileys."
Kahn: (taken aback) "20 billion!!!!!? not 20 million?? That's a fortune!"
The price was not lost on Kahn considering the result . The pursuit of eternal youth seemed to come with a staggering bill.
Kahn: (reflecting) "20 billion... that's no small sum."
Even with his amassed wealth, the idea of spending such a colossal amount felt daunting.
Kahn: (inquiring) "What about immortality?"
System: "A piece of eternal water grants an eternal body and life, worth 500 billion Baileys."
Kahn: (stunned) "500 billion? That's beyond astronomical!"
Kahn's realization was immediate—immortality came at an incomprehensible cost.
Kahn: (ironic) "Just a few billion Baileys short, huh?"
The gap between his dreams and reality felt as vast as the Grand Line itself.
Kahn: (inquiring) "How about top-tier Haki abilities?"
System: "Two billion Baileys for advanced armed haki , two billion for advanced observation haki, and three billion for advanced conqueror's haki . An additional five billion for advanced conqueror's haki, coating."
Kahn: (inquiring) "Top-tier swordsmanship?"
System: "Three billion Baileys."
Kahn: (raising an eyebrow) "Pricey, but reasonable."
Kahn: (inquiring) "How about a devil fruit suitable for me? An mythical zone fruit, perhaps?"
System: "The dragon fruit, fire dragon form, suits the host the most, worth 10 billion Baileys."
Kahn: (intrigued) "A dragon fruit, huh? That's enticing."
