Setting a small goal! Earning one trillion first!

On the bustling deck of the warship, pirates recently captured were lined up, their expressions a mix of uncertainty and trepidation.

Among them stood Alvida, wide-eyed and visibly shaken. Her attempt to raid a cruise ship had led to unexpected encounters—one with a formidable devil fruit user and now with the navy.

Kahn stepped onto the scene, his presence commanding attention. Alvida's eyes widened further as she recognized him—the enigmatic swordsman who had effortlessly cleaved their pirate vessel in half.

"Vice Admiral Kahn," a navy sailor saluted, introducing him with a mixture of respect and formality.

The title reverberated within Kahn's mind, a testament to his growing reputation within the naval ranks. As his gaze swept across the assembly, it rested on two familiar faces—Luffy and Koby—amid the captives. Intrigue swelled within him. What was their connection to this unfolding drama?

Turning to Pochi, Kahn sought an explanation. "How did they end up here?"

Pochi, a navy soldier, explained that Luffy intended to join their ranks and had followed them onto the ship.

Kahn's lips curled in amusement. "Classic Luffy, carving his own path as always."

His thoughts briefly amused himself .

Had his earlier words inadvertently led the navy to assume Luffy and Keby weren't pirates?

A wry smile played on his lips. "Luffy certainly has his own way of doing things."

Kahn's reflections ceased as he remembered Luffy's dreams—the young man aspired to be the Pirate King, a goal both audacious and captivating.

His attention refocused, Kahn fixed a keen gaze upon Luffy.

"So, what kind of king do you aim to become?"

Caught off guard, Luffy hesitated momentarily, then his determination ignited. His eyes gleamed with unyielding resolve.

"I'm gonna be the Pirate King!"

Kahn's smile grew warmer.

"A lofty goal indeed."

With a nod of agreement, he continued, "Very well then. Here's a gift for you—a greeting and perhaps a lesson."

Luffy furrowed his brow.

"Lesson? Who's your grandson? Only my Grandpa can give me lesson"

A hearty laugh escaped Kahn, rich and resonant.

"Off you go. This isn't your place. Take your companion and set your sights on the navy."

He will entrust koby to vice admiral Garp , an hero of navy who would guide this eager young recruit as in manga.

As Luffy prepared to depart, Kahn offered a final piece of counsel. "And remember, sail toward your dreams—whatever they may be."
