The strength of the range of formation left Tashigi thrilled beyond words.
It could strengthen her own power while also slowing down her enemies. More importantly, the range of the formation was quite wide. Earlier, everyone had already backed far away because of the duel between the two of them, yet they were still caught by the slowing effect.
It also seemed that the closer one moved toward the center, the stronger the slow became. It was an extremely powerful support formation.
One weapon for attack, one for support. This hundred thousand Berries had been worth every last coin.
Just as Tashigi finished testing the power of the second weapon, the system's voice rang out again in Amon's mind.
["Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully completing the system mission and obtaining a mysterious gift!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for selling ten Jars and obtaining one exclusive Jar!]
After Amon handed the final item over to Tashigi, his exclusive Jar and that mysterious gift were delivered by the system.
Looking at the exclusive Jar in hand and the mysterious gift beside it, Amon felt delighted. Still, there were too many eyes around, and he had no intention of opening them here.
Anything related to his strength was his greatest secret. The fewer people who knew, the more effective it remained.
And the less likely he would be targeted.
So he forcibly suppressed the urge to open them on the spot.
"Amon, I still have some matters to handle, so I won't disturb you any longer. If fate allows, we'll meet again."
Now that Tashigi had finished opening her Jar, Garp also prepared to leave with Koby.
"Oh, right. If anything comes up and you need my help, don't forget to contact me through the Den Den Mushi."
He still owed Amon a favor, so he actually wanted to repay it sooner rather than later.
After saying that, Garp left directly.
His vacation had already ended, and he could not stay away from Headquarters for too long, or Sengoku would start yelling at him again.
Watching the way Garp treated Amon before leaving, Smoker became even more convinced that Amon's status was extraordinary.
The moment he thought back to how he had nearly arrested such a person just now, his heart turned cold with fear.
Fortunately, Amon had not held it against him. Not only had he let it go, he had even allowed him to open a Jar.
"By the way, Mr. Amon, if you're free, why not come sit for a while at our Loguetown Marine branch?"
"No need. I still have something to do, so I won't be going."
Right now, Amon only wanted to open his exclusive Jar and mysterious gift as quickly as possible, so he declined Smoker's invitation.
What was there to do at the Marine branch? All he wanted now was to open Jars.
It had been quite a while since he had last opened one. Ever since that damned system changed the rules, things had become much more troublesome.
Still, now the missions had actually become easier in one way, he could travel the world of One Piece more freely.
After opening the Jar, he planned to go see the place where Pirate King Roger had been executed.
As a One Piece fan, now that he had come all the way to Loguetown, not visiting Roger's execution platform would be absurd.
That man had not even properly appeared for a full episode, yet he was the one who set the entire world of One Piece in motion.
"In that case, we won't disturb you any longer, Mr. Amon."
Smoker did not press the matter further after Amon's refusal
He could not figure out the temperament of someone like Amon. He might be all smiles now, but if he got angry, Smoker knew full well he would not be able to handle it.
Smoker did not dare invite him again, but Tashigi was not afraid at all.
To her, Amon felt very approachable. The more she looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed.
"Mr. Amon, after you finish your business, you have to come see us again!"
Amon laughed, then reached out and patted her head. "Alright. Once I'm done, I'll come see you. And remember to train hard. Don't waste those two weapons or that swordsmanship insight."
Her realm was already high enough. As long as she did not slack off and kept training properly, it would not be long before her name spread across the sea.
With those two epic weapons in hand, she was destined to become extraordinary.
Tashigi nodded firmly. "Mm. After I go back, I'll definitely train hard. I won't let down Mr. Amon's expectations. Once I become a great swordsman, I'll set out to sea and come find you!"
Amon laughed again. "Good. Then I'll wait for you in the Grand Line."
He quite liked Tashigi's personality. And besides, she looked far too much like Kuina. That was one of the reasons he found her so likable.
Both of them were swordswomen, and both of them dreamed of becoming great swordsmen.
If the two ever met out at sea one day, that would probably be a very interesting scene.
Just imagining their stunned expressions when they faced each other made Amon want to laugh.
After giving Tashigi a few more words of advice, Amon left in a hurry.
He was dying to see what kind of mysterious gift the system had given him, and what his fourth exclusive Jar would contain.
Ever since witnessing Garp's strength, Amon had felt more and more that his own power was still not enough.
He needed to grow stronger again.
Who knew whether the World Government might suddenly go back on its word and decide to move against him?
On top of that, he might soon have to make a trip to Sky Island. Enel's strength was no joke either, so Amon had to raise his own power even further.
Thinking of it, Enel was actually one of the more tragic characters in One Piece. He had appeared too early, then was promptly crushed by the plot itself.
Otherwise, with his Devil Fruit ability alone, he probably would not have been any weaker than an admiral or emperor-level figure.
With those thoughts in mind, Amon returned to his inn.
At this moment, quite a few fishermen had gathered near his ship.
Loguetown's location really was special. It sat where three seas met, and fish found here could not be caught in other waters.
After opening the Jar, he could go fishing for a while.
Leaping onto the deck, Amon returned to the cabin.
The moment he entered, he could no longer restrain himself. He immediately took out the fourth exclusive Jar awarded by the system, along with that radiant box glowing in brilliant colors.
The system really did not hold back. Just from the appearance alone, it was obvious these were no ordinary rewards.
Still, Amon decided to leave the mysterious gift for later.
What interested him most right now was what kind of treasure this exclusive Jar would reveal.
