Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Flying Nimbus

West Blue, Navy Branch, Ridgemouth Town.

The silver treasure chest opened, revealing a reward from the Dragon Ball world: [The Flying Nimbus].

In the world of One Piece, the ability to fly was incredibly valuable.

The Red Line and the Calm Belt intersected, dividing the world into four segments.

Even for the Navy, crossing the Calm Belt between the East, West, North, and South Blues had been tremendously difficult before Vegapunk's research.

However...

After thinking for a moment, Kano reached out and poked the [Flying Nimbus].

Well... it was soft and had no penetration.

For a soul who had received modern internet training, it really wasn't certain whether the cloud would be willing to carry him or not.

He would still have to try it in its physical form after manifesting it in the outside world.

It should be modified since it was a reward, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

The yellow [Flying Nimbus] slowly floated nearby, and Kano now turned his attention to the remaining points.

How about one more?

something in the Dragon Ball world had appeared, proving that his luck was good today...

After some deliberation, the sin value dropped, and another silver treasure chest appeared before Kano.

He reached out and opened it and then froze.

Two cards.

One was a skill card from the Naruto world: [Shadow Clone Technique].

The other was a simple physical attribute card.

'Double rewards were also good.'

Kano glanced at the sin value displayed on the high platform…

He could do it again.

What should he do… he couldn't help himself.

But a golden treasure chest was more tempting...

Another silver? Or save up to open a gold?

This year, Roger would be publicly executed in Loguetown in the East Blue, and the guy with the ability to change the world was still two years away from appearing, according to what he knew.

Roger's execution...

He didn't know if Colonel Lomi's connections would prove that effective.

He remembered that in the original timeline, only two ordinary sailors had been the executioners when Roger was executed.

But regarding Roger's guilt...

A Pirate King who ordered his crew never to take action against ordinary people, not even to steal from them.

Yet those words on the execution platform in Loguetown, while setting off the Great Pirate Era, had also caused countless ordinary people to lose their lives.

Just like what Roger had said to Rayleigh at the beginning:

"Let's turn the world upside down together."

...

The next second, Kano, who had now experienced the silver treasure chest twice, exited the prison.

There were still two years left, and the silver treasure chest had been opened twice already.

The right choice was to save a wave of sin points and open a gold.

After firming up his resolve, Kano looked at his hands, feeling a little reluctant.

Then he manifested the physical attribute card, and it disappeared directly into his hand as soon as he thought:

'Use it.'

The next moment, his body began to heat up, as if a warm current started from his heart and spread throughout his entire body, gradually penetrating from his internal organs outward.

"Thump! Thump! Thump..."

He could even feel the beating of his heart in his mind, followed by his lungs, stomach, and organs...

His bones began to ache, his muscles experiencing feverish changes...

Obviously, the physical attribute card from the silver treasure chest was vastly different from those of bronze and wood.

The last time his body had undergone such a huge transformation was the first time he'd used a physical attribute card from a bronze treasure chest.

In this case...

Maybe he could start trying to train his Armament Haki.

Thinking about it, Kano had already walked out of his room and headed toward the branch restaurant, his pace quickening.

"Whine..."

His growling belly alerted Kano that he needed to eat a lot, and fortunately, the restaurant had food ready.

Meat, rich soup, and plenty of fruit.

Soon a large amount of food was consumed by Kano.

The nutrients from the food were absorbed by his body instantly.

The usual servings prepared for ten people were no longer enough.

"More, and please hurry up."

After calling to the dumbfounded soldier nearby, the restaurant's kitchen became busy once again.

Servings for twenty people, servings for thirty people...

By the time Kano stopped eating, he had consumed food nearly seven times his body size.

But the strange thing was that at this moment, despite being nearly two meters tall, his stomach wasn't bulging at all.

Office of the base commander of the Navy Branch.

Colonel Lomi looked at the communications officer who was reporting in front of him. "He ate food for thirty-five people? Is it life Return...? He really does have a monster-like physique."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the communications officer saluted before turning to leave.

"Registration for the elite training class at the Headquarters has begun. Maybe we can recommend this monster-like kid. What do you think, Holiday?"

Holiday shook his head.

"Kano is passionate about executing evil pirates. After the news of Roger's arrest came out at the beginning of the month, didn't he immediately ask you to arrange something for him? Besides, at the Headquarters, basically all Devil Fruit users are sent to Impel Down. There are very few public executions of capable individuals there."

Colonel Lomi thought for a while, then said, "Originally, I thought he might have eaten some kind of Paramecia Devil Fruit related to execution, but not long ago this guy chased a group of pirates and jumped into the sea..."

"In this case, since he hasn't undergone any extraordinarily monstrous training, it can only be attributed to his natural talent. And with such talent, you should know very well what kind of future he could have."

Holiday replied.

"Starting as a lieutenant at the Headquarters, it's not impossible for him to become a candidate for admiral like those monsters from six years ago."

Colonel Lomi nodded slightly.

"I had a phone call with Teacher Zephyr some time ago. After Roger was arrested, Golden Lion broke into the Headquarters alone and was also arrested. However, because of his Float-Float Fruit ability, he's been escorted to Impel Down."

"As the Pirate King, Roger's death will curb the madness of pirates, and the world will calm down. The stage for that brat Kano shouldn't be here, but on the Grand Line, filled with powerful pirates."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Den Den Mushi placed in front of him rang.

After answering the call, the snail put on a pair of toad-shaped sunglasses vividly, and a capable voice came from within:

"Vice Admiral Garp had something come up suddenly, so he asked me to go to Loguetown instead. The thing you asked me to arrange is ready. But the timeframe is a little short, so he'll need to use the Navy's official channels to cross the Red Line."

At this time, Kano, who had already eaten and drunk his fill, was taking advantage of the afternoon sunset to relax on the coast.

He had retrieved the [Flying Nimbus] and tried it out.

Sure enough, it had been transformed by the prison, and even a person like himself could ride it.

Hmm... the scenery on the coast was quite nice.

He let the [Flying Nimbus] stand by in the sky, then tried the [Shadow Clone Technique] skill card.

Afterward, the sunglasses on his forehead slid down to cover his eyes, and he began to enjoy the scenery.

After two years of being stationed here, the Navy branch had improved law and order in Ridgemouth Town significantly. There were no more pirate ships brazenly docking on this coast anymore.

After all, with public executions occurring on average once a month, Kano's name as "the Executioner" had become known to everyone in the West Blue.
