The first Silver chest he opened contained an item from the Dragon Ball world: the Flying Nimbus.
In the world of One Piece, the ability to fly could be considered extremely important.
The Red Line intersected with the Calm Belt, dividing the world. Between the four seas of East, West, South, and North, even the Marines found it difficult to cross the Calm Belt before Vegapunk's research.
However…
After thinking for a moment, Rowan reached out and poked the Flying Nimbus.
Hmm… it was soft and did not pass through.
For a soul shaped by modern internet culture, whether this thing would even allow him to ride it was uncertain.
He would have to manifest it outside and test it physically later. It had probably been modified by the system, so it should not be a problem.
The yellow Flying Nimbus slowly drifted by, but Rowan's gaze soon fell on the remaining twenty two thousand four hundred sin points.
Should he try again?
Items from the Dragon Ball world had already appeared. That meant his luck today was quite good.
After thinking for a while, the twenty two thousand four hundred sin points dropped to twelve thousand four hundred, and another Silver chest appeared before him.
He reached out and opened it.
The image froze.
Two cards.
One was a skill card from the Naruto world: Shadow Clone Technique.
The other was a basic physique attribute card.
A double reward. Not bad.
Rowan glanced at the sin points displayed on the platform. It had already increased by five.
He could still open another one…
He could not resist.
But the Gold chest was even more tempting.
The screams from Passages Six, Seven, and Eight continued without end. There were pleas and curses, but Rowan, already used to it, automatically ignored them.
Another Silver chest, or save up for a Gold one?
This year, Roger would be publicly executed in Loguetown in the East Blue. And the one who possessed the power to change the world would appear in two years, according to what he knew.
Roger's execution…
He wondered whether Colonel Lomi's connections would be enough. In the original story, only two ordinary Marines carried out Roger's execution.
But regarding Roger's sin value…
The Pirate King who ordered his crew never to harm ordinary people, not even to rob them.
Yet the words he spoke on the execution platform at Loguetown, while igniting the great age of pirates, also led to the deaths of countless innocent people.
Just like what he once said to Rayleigh. Let us go and turn the world upside down together.
…
The next moment, after experiencing two Silver chests, Rowan withdrew his consciousness from the prison.
There were still two years left. He had already opened two Silver chests. Saving up sin points to open a Gold chest was the correct choice.
Having made up his mind, Rowan looked at his slightly itching hands and felt a bit of regret.
Then he manifested the physique attribute card. With a thought, it disappeared directly in his hand.
Used.
In the next moment, his body began to heat up. It felt as if a stream of heat spread from his heart throughout his entire body, seeping outward from his internal organs.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
He could even feel the beating of his heart in his mind, followed by his lungs, stomach, and other organs.
His bones began to ache faintly. His muscles and tendons heated up and changed.
Clearly, the physique attribute card from the Silver chest was vastly different from those of Bronze and Wooden chests.
The last time his body underwent such a huge transformation was when he first used a physique card from a Bronze chest.
If that was the case…
He might be able to start trying to train Armament Haki.
Thinking this, Rowan walked out of his room and headed toward the branch cafeteria, his pace gradually increasing.
"Grrr…"
The sound from his stomach reminded him that it needed a large amount of food, and the cafeteria had already prepared it.
Meat with bones, richly scented soup, and a large amount of fruit.
Very quickly, large quantities of food were eaten by Rowan. The nutrients were absorbed almost instantly, and the usual portion for ten people was no longer enough.
"Bring more. Please hurry."
After asking the stunned logistics soldier nearby, the kitchen became busy again.
Twenty portions. Thirty portions…
By the time Rowan stopped eating, he had consumed nearly seven times his own body size in food.
Yet strangely, he still maintained a height of nearly two meters, and even his stomach showed no sign of bulging.
…
Marine Branch 80, Base Commander's Office.
Colonel Lomi looked at the communications soldier reporting in front of him. "He ate food for thirty five people? Life Return… truly a monster-like physique."
After speaking, he waved his hand. The soldier saluted and left.
"The elite training camp at Headquarters has started recruitment. Perhaps we can recommend that monster-like kid. What do you think, Holledi?"
Holledi shook his head. "Rowan is obsessed with executing evil pirates. When the news of Roger's capture came out at the beginning of the month, did he not ask you for help? And at Headquarters, Devil Fruit users are basically all sent to Impel Down, while public executions for non-users are rare."
Colonel Lomi thought for a moment. "At first, I thought he might have eaten some Paramecia-type Devil Fruit related to execution, but not long ago, he chased a group of pirates and jumped directly into the sea…"
"In that case, combined with the fact that he has not undergone extremely intense training, it can only be attributed to his talent. And with such talent, you know very well what kind of future he would have at Headquarters."
Holledi replied, "Starting as a Vice Admiral, and possibly even becoming an Admiral candidate like that monster from six years ago."
Colonel Lomi nodded slightly. "I spoke with Teacher Zephyr on the phone some time ago. After Roger was captured, Golden Lion stormed Headquarters alone and was also captured. However, because of his Float-Float Fruit ability, he has already been sent to Impel Down."
"As the Pirate King, Roger's death will suppress the madness of pirates, and the four seas will become peaceful. That kid Rowan's stage should not be here, but in the Grand Line filled with powerful pirates."
Just as he finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi on the desk rang.
After picking it up, the snail put on a pair of toad-like sunglasses, and a capable voice came through.
"Vice Admiral Garp has urgent matters, so I will go to Loguetown instead. The matter you requested has been arranged. However, time is short, and he will need to go through Marine channels to cross the Red Line."
At this moment, Rowan, now full and satisfied, was lying by the coast under the afternoon sunset, resting and digesting.
He casually manifested the Flying Nimbus and tested it. As expected, it had been modified by the system, and even someone with impure thoughts like him could ride it.
Hmm… the seaside scenery was quite nice.
He let the Flying Nimbus stay in the sky on standby, then used the Shadow Clone Technique skill card.
After that, he pulled down the sunglasses on his forehead to cover his eyes and began enjoying the scenery.
After two years of suppression, with the Marine branch stationed here, public security in Rasgap Town had improved. Pirate ships no longer dared to dock openly along this coast.
After all, with a public execution held once every month on average, Rowan's name as the executioner was already widely known throughout the West Blue.
