As the system's voice resounded, a memory appeared out of thin air in Ye Chen's mind, followed by an inexplicable energy circulating within his body.
Ye Chen understood that this was the Extreme Ghost Sword Art.
Ye Chen closed his eyes, slowly digesting the Extreme Ghost Sword Art in his mind. The Extreme Ghost Sword Art represented the pinnacle of sword mastery for Sword Masters in the Dungeon Fighter Online world.
About half an hour later, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, his black and white pupils gleaming with a faint light.
"The Extreme Ghost Sword Art is indeed powerful." Ye Chen took a deep breath. Although he had never learned swordsmanship before, during his recent digestion of the technique, he could clearly feel the profoundness and breadth of this sword art.
It contained too much. If not for the system exchange, an ordinary person would need at least several decades to cultivate to that level, and only a truly gifted genius could achieve it.
"Is this Sword Qi?" Ye Chen stretched out his palm, where a pale white light flickered, filled with sharp, cutting edges.
Emitting Sword Qi externally was a symbol of a Sword Master. If anyone else saw it, they would surely be dumbfounded. A realm that others might strive their entire lives to reach, Ye Chen had achieved in just half an hour.
"This exchange was worth it. Extreme Ghost Sword Art. Now I suppose I can be considered a Sword Master, hehe." A smile appeared on Ye Chen's face, and as he closed his palm, the Sword Qi instantly vanished.
To exchange a sword technique of little value for the Extreme Ghost Sword Art was truly a massive profit.
Although it was far less impactful than the previous exchange, the Heavenly Dragon was ultimately an external object; it couldn't protect him at all times. The Extreme Ghost Sword Art, however, was different; it enhanced his own being.
After all, this world had an endless stream of Devil Fruits, and there was no guarantee that some strange abilities wouldn't appear. If he wasn't strong himself, even with the Heavenly Dragon, he would still be annihilated.
........
After obtaining the Extreme Ghost Sword Art, Ye Chen briefly utilized his new ability, then returned to his room and lay down on the bed, falling asleep. This rescue mission to save Hancock, with its long journey, had consumed a considerable amount of time. Ye Chen had already felt exhausted, so this time he slept very soundly.
While Ye Chen was sleeping peacefully, Marine Headquarters exploded with activity.
Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's office.
The three Admirals, Marine Hero Garp, Chief of Staff Tsuru, and Zephyr, who was now appointed to the Marine Academy, all gathered in the Fleet Admiral's office.
The small office brought together all the high-ranking officials of the Marines.
"Sengoku, what's so urgent late at night?" Garp rubbed his eyes, yawning, and said with dissatisfaction.
"Yeah, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I'm very sleepy late at night," Kizaru yawned, his expression languid.
Meanwhile, Tsuru and Zephyr looked extremely grave. They understood Sengoku's character; if it wasn't something truly urgent, he wouldn't summon them so late at night.
They had a premonition that something big had happened.
Sengoku took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The Celestial Tribute ship fleet was annihilated in the Land of Wano. No one survived, and the treasures were plundered. The Five Elders just contacted me about it."
"Tch, the Celestial Tribute flaunts itself everywhere, its movements published in newspapers. Its annihilation was bound to happen sooner or later." Garp picked his earwax, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
For something like the Celestial Tribute, which had no strong guards and flaunted itself everywhere as if afraid others wouldn't know its whereabouts, its annihilation was bound to happen sooner or later.
Garp wasn't surprised by this.
While Garp was indifferent, Kizaru and the others all felt a headache.
Although they also knew that the Celestial Tribute's annihilation was only a matter of time, annihilating the Celestial Tribute was equivalent to slapping the Celestial Dragons' faces, wasn't it?
They estimated that the Five Elders were now in a furious rage.
Plundering the Celestial Tribute undoubtedly amounted to slapping them in the face.
"Sengoku, have the culprits been caught?" Zephyr asked.
Sengoku's expression was somewhat helpless: "That's what I was about to say. The culprits haven't been caught yet, but the World Government has already sent us information about them. They want us to hunt them down worldwide and capture this person within the shortest possible time."
With that, Sengoku placed a document on the desk and said, "This is the culprit's information."
Zephyr picked up the document, glanced at it, then passed it to Tsuru: "This person doesn't have a bounty yet, right?"
"Not yet. How much bounty do you think would be appropriate?" Sengoku asked.
Kizaru and the others exchanged glances. The bounty issue was indeed a bit tricky. From the information, they could tell that the kid had no real strength; he was only relying on the fierce beast beneath him.
However, Ye Chen had attacked the Celestial Tribute, slapping the Celestial Dragons' faces. It was genuinely difficult to define a suitable bounty.
After careful consideration, Zephyr said, "Three hundred million bounty."
"Agreed," Kizaru nodded.
"Concur," Akainu nodded.
"Three hundred million sounds just right," Tsuru nodded.
Sengoku took a deep breath and said, "Then let's set the bounty for Dragon Knight Ye Chen at three hundred million."
