Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Salted Fish Admiral Kizaru, Ask For An Increase In Overtime Pay
Boom!
A powerful momentum erupted from Lucifer, causing a strong wind.
The sea water in front was struck by the wind, setting off waves.
Several seagulls fell from the sky onto the deck, foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.
"This is the High Conqueror's Haki, and it's truly extraordinary."
Conqueror's Haki is special among Haki types.
It embodies the aptitude of a king. Only the chosen can awaken this power, and only one person in a million will awaken Conqueror's Haki. It sounds impressive.
However, on the surface, Conqueror's Haki can only be used to clean up weaklings, and has no effect on the strong; it seems rather tasteless.
In fact, Conqueror's Haki, like Armament Haki, can also be used to enhance attacks.
It's just that few people have mastered this technique, so few know how to use it.
Conqueror's Haki's enhancement of attacks is more powerful than that of Armament Haki.
The kings of the old era, and now the sea emperors of the New World, all possess this skill, which is why they are so terrifying.
Lucifer looked in the system store and soon found the Conqueror's Haki enhancement technique.
At the same time, the skills for using Armament Haki were also available.
Armament Haki Enhancement: 100,000 Kill Points
Armament Haki Internal Destruction: 100,000 Kill Points
Conqueror's Enhancement: 100,000 Kill Points
The three skills cost 100,000 Kill Points each, which is quite expensive.
Properties Panel:
Host: Lucifer
Age: 23
Devil Fruit: Word Spirit Fruit
Physique: Hell Demon
Armament Haki: Advanced
Observation Haki: Advanced
Conqueror's Haki: Advanced
Kill Points: 64,000
Looking at the remaining 64,000 Kill Points, Lucifer shook his head helplessly.
He couldn't afford any of these three skills.
"I still lack enough Kill Points; I need to hunt more targets."
Lucifer closed the system interface and controlled the pirate ship to accelerate towards Crescent Island.
His next trip to Crescent Island would be his best opportunity.
Lucifer was not interested in Captain John's treasure; he was only interested in powerful prey.
The news of Captain John's treasure would undoubtedly attract many strong pirates.
Not only pirates, but also powerful bounty hunters and gangsters would come.
Even the Marines would take this opportunity to eliminate the pirates.
At that time, Crescent Island would become a veritable hunting ground, allowing Lucifer to hunt and kill targets to his heart's content and reap Kill Points.
As the sun set, the red sun slowly sank below the horizon.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the pirate ship, casting Lucifer in a golden light.
When the sun completely disappeared below the sea, Lucifer's pirate ship also vanished beneath the waves.
......
A few days later, at Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
In the Admiral's office, Admiral Kizaru leaned back in his chair, leisurely trimming his nails.
His adjutant made a cup of hot tea for Kizaru and respectfully brought it to him.
"Kizaru Admiral, please enjoy your tea."
"Oh, thank you very much."
Kizaru picked up the teacup to let it cool, then took a sip.
The aroma of tea wafted from his mouth, making Kizaru squint his eyes involuntarily.
"Well~, such a leisurely day."
"It seems that today is another peaceful day, and I can leave work in three hours."
Kizaru was very comfortable, reclining in his chair with his feet on the desk, posing like a lazy fish.
As the most laid-back Admiral among the three Admirals, Kizaru's life principle was to clock in every day and leave work on time.
Never working overtime was his life creed.
The adjutant next to him wore a neutral expression. He was no stranger to Admiral Kizaru's lazy demeanor.
However, at this moment, there was an urgent knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Kizaru continued sipping his tea leisurely, while his personal adjutant spoke.
A Marine colonel entered the office and approached Kizaru's desk, saluting respectfully.
"Kizaru Admiral, Admiral Sengoku is requesting your presence; an important meeting is to be held."
Kizaru's expression changed, revealing a trace of annoyance.
"Well~, this is really troublesome; I have to work overtime again today."
"Mr. Sengoku is really good at making people work. Why should I have to work overtime without extra pay?"
Kizaru remained slumped in his chair, reluctant to move.
Drinking tea and relaxing was his pursuit. As a well-known lazy Admiral, Kizaru hated working overtime the most.
"Kizaru Admiral, Marshal Sengoku is still waiting for you. Please hurry."
The adjutant said loudly.
"Hey, that's serious, Rangers."
Kizaru reluctantly set down his teacup, stood up from the chair, and walked slowly out of the office.
As he walked, he asked the Marine colonel, "Do you know the theme of this meeting?"
"It's about the death of Vice Admiral Dauberman. The Marines have found the murderer."
The Marine colonel replied loudly, with a hint of anger in his tone.
In the past few days, the death of Vice Admiral Dauberman had spread throughout Naval Headquarters, inciting countless Marine soldiers' fury.
They all wanted to find the murderer and avenge Vice Admiral Dauberman.
"Oh, is it about Dauberman?"
Upon mentioning a fallen comrade, Kizaru's expression shifted from lazy to serious.
Although he was a laid-back Admiral, he still held the rank of Marine Admiral.
Kizaru was extremely angry about Dauberman's death.
