One piece :Nox ( Before Dawn)

The naval fleet was rapidly approaching the Sabaody Archipelago. Even before their arrival, naval forces had already disembarked on the island and, joining with the local garrison, began the cleansing of pirates. Several giants, nearly seven meters tall, wearing hats and with powerful bodies, were heading toward their targets.

Sal, anticipating such a scenario, paid no attention to the commotion and, following the plan, made his way to area 41. There, a ship capable of submersion awaited, but this did not guarantee the safety of his escape from the island.

Suddenly, a series of notifications appeared, requiring him to stop.

— "SS-level character - Five Elders, experiences negative emotions towards the host, low level of hostility, experience increase by 10,000."

— "SS-level character - Akainu, experiences negative emotions towards the host, low level of hostility, experience increase by 10,000."

— "S-level character, experiences negative emotions towards the host, low level of hostility, experience increase 1,000 x 4."

— "A-level character - Nefertari Vivi, experiences neutral emotions towards the host, moderate surprise, experience increase by 200."

— "A and B-level characters, experience negative emotions towards the host, low level of hostility, experience increase 31,498."

— "Level Up: Level 45 (310/20,000)."

Sal realized that the news about the killing of the Celestial Dragons had likely reached the upper echelons of the World Government and the Navy. He was prepared for this, but the fact that only four of the Five Elders were hostile, and one was indifferent, intrigued him.

And among the three admirals, only Akainu showed hostility. As expected from someone who believes in absolute justice, even if he himself hates the Celestial Dragons, he will not spare anyone who dares to challenge the authority of the World Government and Navy.

Another person who concerned Sal was Nefertari Vivi, the crown princess of the kingdom of Alabasta. Unexpectedly, this country, not known for its strong military might, had remarkable information-gathering capabilities. It seems that this millennia-old country keeps its secrets well.

— "Host: Augustus D. "Sal."

— "Age: 26."

— "Level: 45 (310/20,000)."

— "Strength: Advanced (Major General)."

— "Constitution: Advanced (Major General)."

— "Agility: Advanced (Major General)."

— "Fruit: None."

— "Skills: Superior."

— "Armament Haki: Intermediate."

— "Observation Haki: Advanced."

— "Conqueror's Haki: Peak."

— "Weapon: Ace."

— "Points: 27,429."

After leveling up four times in a row, his strength increased significantly again.

The levels of Armament Haki and Observation Haki had risen, which signified a qualitative leap in his power.

Now, thanks to advanced Observation Haki, he could barely catch sight of Kizaru, giving him at least some chance to defend himself.

The intermediate level of Armament Haki allowed him to use it to grasp opponents and continue fighting, even ignoring the Haki's expenditure. Now he could also use Haki techniques like "Ryou."

With 27,000 points, "buying" purple-colored items was unrealistic. He needed to wait until he accumulated 100,000. It's better to conduct a draw as needed, like in this situation.

Sal wasn't 100% confident in his ability to escape from the Sabaody Archipelago. After all, he didn't have a grandfather named Garp or a father named Monkey D. Dragon who could force Kizaru to show mercy.

The points were reset, and the system lottery officially began.

— "The nine items in this lottery differ from the green ones.

Even the weakest can be "unlimited cannon pistols," healing potions, Dragon Eggs, and King Arthur Dolls.

The key to the magic-enhancing necklace allows the user to harness stored magic to strengthen the body and improve overall physical qualities.

The stronger the person, the lesser the effect.

The Substitute Doll grants immunity to death once.

This is very similar to the ability of Basil Hawkins, one of the Supernova, who can create a scarecrow to take damage instead of himself.

Kuma's travel bubble is the most important.

With it, you can leave the Sabaody Archipelago at any time, significantly easing the situation.

As for the two useless items, the Y-disc with 1000G seeds and the "Goddess's Underwear," they can only be set aside helplessly.

The name of the goddess of water, Aqua, even made Sal afraid to touch her "underwear," fearing that her mental deficiency might be contagious.

This is already the third appearance of the underwear.

Why does this system love about underwear to appear so much?

As soon as Sal put away the items and continued on his way, a Golden Flash flickered in his field of vision.

In the distance, a tall Red Tree exploded. It slowly collapsed, raising huge plumes of smoke and dust. Sal's face became serious.

Admiral Kizaru had finally landed on the island.

Only his laser beam possessed such power.

The "Pacifistas" haven't arrived yet.

Sal involuntarily quickened his pace.

As he passed by the battlefield, he saw Kidd's pirates and the Heart Pirates joining forces to deal with the Little Giant.

The enemy was evidently a humanoid weapon—a "Pacifista."

Kid, Law, and Killer, the three Supernova, all had penetrating wounds on their bodies. They looked seriously injured, but their fighting spirit hadn't waned.

Only the regular crew members were taking losses. Everyone was wounded, but under the guidance of the three Supernova, they had the upper hand, and victory was within reach.

Sal didn't stop. He suddenly squinted and looked to the right.

At that moment, a laser beam pierced through a building, causing a massive explosion, and a tattered figure was thrown aside, landing not far from Sal.

"...."

Seeing the new arrival, Sal sighed.

"We meet again, Miss Bonney. You look exhausted."

Jewelry Bonney had disheveled hair, blood trickling from her mouth. Her body was covered in burns, and her clothes were in tatters, exposing her beauty.

Despite her dreadful appearance, Bonney couldn't hold back her curses upon seeing Sal.

"Augustus D. Sal, you're such a scoundrel. If you hadn't killed the Celestial Dragons and summoned the admiral, I wouldn't be in such a mess. My comrades were killed by this guy. I won't let you get away."

"...."

That made sense. Sal could use her misfortune as an excuse. After all, Bonney's main method of attack relied on her fruit ability, which could age or rejuvenate living organisms, but her opponent, the "Pacifista," was a robot, making her fruit ability useless.

But logically, the real Kuma should have already landed on the island. He wouldn't let his daughter be so brutally tormented by a "Pacifista." Could he have been delayed? And what happened to the Straw Hat pirates?

Before they could converse further, a giant figure appeared, looking exactly like the real Kuma, with laser tubes on its palms.

Its eyes fixated on Sal. In a cold voice, it whispered.

"Main criminal Augustus D. Sal detected. Image transmitted for the first time. Loading complete. The operation to capture Augustus D. Sal officially begins. Target - Augustus D. Sal.

Bonney saw the enemy directing its attack at the man who annoyed her and immediately laughed, though she coughed up a few gulps of blood in the process.

"Ha-ha, you deserve this, you're doomed to misfortune."

Sal simply shook his head. Having read the original novel, he had a general idea of the "Pacifista's" strength. Using the system to assess, it would be around level 60. Defeating such a powerful enemy required several Supernovas. But Bonney, the unfortunate girl, faced it alone. If she didn't perish, who would?

The Straw Hat Pirates and Law's group needed more than four Supernovas to barely claim victory over the "Pacifista."

Sal drew an ordinary long sword, aimed at the "Pacifista," and slowly said:

"Miss Bonney, don't laugh so cheerfully. You won't be laughing if you find out that, in the end, you'll be the only one suffering."
