Chapter 10 - Rewards from a Gold Treasure Chest

He hit the jackpot!

Inside the special prison space, on the central platform, the sin value had already reached 148,000.

That meant 140 Bronze chests, 14 Silver chests, and one and a half Gold chests.

A Silver chest could already produce something like the Flying Nimbus from the Dragon Ball world. Would a Gold chest give something like Android 18?

Not only a bodyguard, but also a combat instructor…

Rowan rubbed his hands together. Whether it was execution or not did not matter. As long as he killed a few truly evil people, he could make a huge gain like today.

No matter what, open a Gold chest first.

It was his first time opening a Gold chest. Before entering, Rowan had even taken a proper bath and washed his hands several times with soap.

With a thought, the six digit number on the platform instantly dropped to five digits.

148,000 became 48,000.

Then, a golden treasure chest appeared.

Rowan stepped forward, rubbing his hands, feeling nervous.

Goddess of luck, bless me. From today onward, I am your most devoted believer.

If Android 18 is not possible, Android 17 would also work. If I get Cell, I can go straight to Mary Geoise and crush everything.

Then…

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt.

A skill card and a mental attribute card.

As expected, a Gold chest could not produce something on the level of Dragon Ball androids.

Rowan picked up the two cards, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

[Naruto World Skill Card: Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato Version]

The Flying Thunder God Technique, the space time ninjutsu that made the Fourth Hokage famous, allowed the user to teleport to a marked location.

At the beginning, Minato marked special kunai and used them in combat, once killing fifty elite enemy ninjas in a short time.

Of course, Rowan knew that the real reason behind that was Minato's terrifying reaction speed.

Without sufficient reaction speed, a technique like instantaneous movement could easily result in moving straight into an enemy's attack. Especially in this world, where Observation Haki could sense presence.

However…

Rowan picked up the other mental attribute card.

A Gold chest attribute card enhanced mental will and reaction speed. Paired with the Flying Thunder God Technique, it was a perfect combination.

After thinking for a while, Rowan suddenly smiled.

From the moment he was born into this world, that idea had been with him until now.

And now, it finally seemed possible to achieve.

This world had Devil Fruits, but it was well known that no one could eat two at once. A single person could not exist in two distant places at the same time.

But Rowan could freely travel across the seas, and he was not a Devil Fruit user.

Very soon.

The fat Celestial Dragon in Mary Geoise would soon experience the suffering of this prison.

Rowan put away the two cards and looked toward the first three passages of the prison.

In Passage One, a man sat inside a room, looking around with excitement.

There were very few rooms in Passage One. It was more like a dormitory than a prison.

No prison cell had furniture, doors that could be opened freely, and allowed prisoners to move around at will.

"Warden? God? King of Hell? Anyone there?"

Roger walked out of his room. As he exited Passage One, he saw Rowan standing on the platform.

"Hahaha. Boss, it is you again. You executed me, and now you are running this prison. Is this some kind of Devil Fruit ability?"

Rowan looked at him. "You should already know the rules. The prison implants basic information directly into your soul, Gol D. Roger."

Roger nodded. "Being able to implant memories directly… that is quite a terrifying power. If I had this when I was learning to read, I would have been amazing."

As he spoke, Roger walked around, touching everything, even the steps of the platform.

After a while, Rowan exhaled. "If you are done, come here. There are things I want to ask you."

Roger paused and looked at him. "In this soul state, I cannot go against your commands. That is part of the rules."

"But if you want to ask about One Piece, then I can only say… no comment."

His curiosity faded, replaced by determination.

Rowan shook his head. "No. I am not particularly interested in Laugh Tale. And there cannot be any treasure there. You, Gol D. Roger, were broke. What treasure would you leave behind?"

Not about Laugh Tale?

Roger frowned slightly.

"A pirate who likes treasure, or perhaps a new kind of World Government intelligence agent?"

"What do you want to ask then?"

Rowan thought for a moment. "Before you said those words… did you already know the kind of change they would bring to the world?"

Roger was momentarily stunned.

"I knew."

Loguetown Marine Branch Cafeteria.

A huge round table was piled with food. Rowan, the executioner of the Pirate King, was eating like a madman.

The attraction of a Gold attribute card was too strong. And food in this world seemed to replenish everything.

With his enhanced mental strength, Rowan entered eating mode again. He consumed more than fifty portions before finally slowing down.

"Are people from the West Blue all this good at eating? Anyone who can eat this much must be strong, right?"

Without even turning his head, Rowan knew it was the man who had executed Roger alongside him.

Yanichi sat upright beside him. Seeing no response, he continued speaking.

"Right now, the outside world only recognizes you as the executioner of the Pirate King."

"Even though we carried it out together, all the pirates remember you. I have been completely ignored."

"But you are really calm. You know it, right? The pirates are very interested in you now. Killing you is like avenging the Pirate King."

"And the One Piece… they can claim to have inherited it."

Yanichi looked at Rowan, who had just finished the last piece of meat.

"You…"

Before he could finish, Rowan pushed his head aside with one hand.
