  "Gradually, the distaweewo groups widened until they eventually vanished into a tiny bck dot on the horizon.

  A collective sigh of relief escaped Rojen and his crew aboard the pirate ship. In that moment, avoiding trouble felt like the best possible oute.

  The pirate ship sailed smoothly afterward. About three hours ter, an isnd appeared on the horizon. Rojen quickly ordered the pirates to dock, and within fifteen mihey reached the port.

  'Fred, you're safe now.'

  Rojen approached Fred, a genuine smile illuminating his face.

  'Rojen, thank you. You saved us all.'

  Fred's voice was filled with heartfelt gratitude, his expression mirr his deep appreciation. Behind him, most of the others looked relieved, while a few hung their heads in shame.

  They had initially po report Rojen to the Marines, but fate had intervened, and it was Rojen who had e to their rescue.

  Most ordinary people possess good hearts, and naturally, they feel a pang of guilt.

  "Now that we're here, let's part ways for the time being."

  "If our paths cross again iure, we'll meet once more."

  Rojen spoke firmly, though an uling feeling tugged at his heart. He couldn't quite pinpoint the source, but it urged him to leave quickly.

  Furthermore, the pirate ship was no longer a suitable option for him.

  "This intuition… it's a strange bination of Ye Wen's mi and Ge Nie's essence."

  "Where is this feeling ing from?"

  Rojen erplexed, but he couldn't ig. Martial artists often spoke of sudden fshes of insight, and such feelings were often harbingers of something signifit.

  However, he was focused on bidding farewell to Fred and the others, so he pushed the feeling aside for the moment.

  After about an hour, all the merts had pleted their transas, and Rojeurheir goods. After parting ways with Fred and the others, the pirate ship trembled and surged forward, sending sprays of water flying as it sped away.

  "Captain, where are we going now?"

  The remaining twenty or so pirates on board looked anxious, their eyes filled with apprehension.

  Even though Ge Nie's presence had faded, the aura he left behind still lingered, giving Rojen an air of a hidden expert that made the pirates wary and uo fully assess his true strength.

  "Just sail in the dire opposite of Loguetown," Rojen replied quietly, his eyes fshing with determination.

  Theurned his attention away from the pirates and gazed out at the calm sea ahead.

  Uhe sunlight, the water sparkled, but Rojen sensed somethih the surface— a brewing storm and turbulent currents lurking in the depths.

  "It doesn't seem so calm after all."

  He murmured, and suddenly, a jolt of realization struck him.

  "Wait!"

  He recalled the two Marine ships that had passed by earlier, and his eyes widened in uanding.

  "It's those two warships!"

  "There must be powerful people on those ships!"

  "That's why Ge Nie and Ye Wen's instincts warned me of danger!"

  With the pieces falling into pce, Roje a wave of relief wash over him. Now that he uood the source of the danger, he could prepare to face it.

  "Captain, there's an isnd ahead. Should we stop for supplies?"

  After three hours of sailing, a pirate approached, frustratioched on his face.

  It had been nearly a day sihey st ate, and the stant pressure of being around someone like Rojen was taking its toll on the pirates. Their physical strength had been rapidly draining, and they were remely hungry.

  "Keep sailing," Rojen replied coldly, then turned his attention back to his thoughts.

  The pirates' faces fell further. Some wao voice their s but were quickly silenced by their rades, retreating in fear.

  Rojen paid no mind to their unease, as he was focused on assessing the gains from Ge Nie's possession.

  "Possession s: 5600."

  Seeing that number, Rojen's eyes widened in surprise.

  When Ye Wen possessed those lesser foes, he only gained a few hundred s. But after dealing with the Sordes Pirates, he had uedly acquired 5600!

  "Ge ruly is remarkable," Rojen muttered, then began to examine Ge Nie's skills.

  "Ghost Valley Unhindered Sword Method, Hueps Flying Sword!"

  "Rainbow Abyss!"

  "Rainbow Pees the Sun!"

  Ge Nie's skills were few in number, but each was extraordinarily powerful, far surpassing Ye Wen's abilities. This was rgely due to the martial arts dimension of Legend of Qin being far more advahan Ye Wen's.

  "After reviewing these three skills, I realize that 5600 possession s aren't actually that much!"

  Rojen sighed wryly.

  These skills were undeniably potent. Mastering them would make one parable to a pirate with a bounty of 20 to 30 million in the One Piece world. Such strength would pe firmly in the mid-tier of East Blue and could even allow entry into the Grand Line.

  "Hueps Flying Sword, 3500!"

  "Rainbow Abyss, 2000!"

  "Rainbow Pees the Sun, 3000!"

  Rojen licked his dry lips in frustration. He wao learn all three skills, but he was far from the required possession s.

  "Having sword arts without a sword is useless."

  "This means I only choose between Hueps Flying Sword and Rainbow Pees the Sun!"

  It was a tough decision. Hueps Flying Sword was the pineique of the Unhindered Sword Method, while Rainbow Pees the Sun was a sword skill personally crafted by Sword Saint Ge Nie. Both were incredibly powerful.

  After a moment of ption, Rojen decided on Hueps Flying Sword and Rainbow Abyss.

  "Dedug five thousand five hundred possession s, gratutions to the host for learning Hueps Flying Sword and Rainbow Abyss!"

  The cold, meical voice echoed in his mind, and Roje a wave of dizziness wash over him. A torrent of information flooded into his sciousness, merging seamlessly with his being.

  In just a few breaths, Rojen opened his eyes, and in his right hand appeared a long sword. The bde was translut, unmistakably the renowned sword Rainbow Abyss!

  "Hueps Flying Sword!"

  "Instantly mastered."

  Rojen murmured, his eyes shining with a brilliant sword i.

  This was the first time he had learned a skill granted by the Possessed System, and it was the first time he truly grasped the system's power. Previously, the state of mind skills was manageable, but this time, a martial art that would typically require tless repetitions to master was instantly acquired.

  "Unfortunately, I internal merit heart method!"

  "With my current physical dition, bined with these sword arts, I o the power of a pirate with a bounty of around 15 million!"
