MTLNOVEL Chapter 93: Issho Has No Title as Handsome as Mine
As purple light circles spread from Issho's blade, the stacked treasures in the giant ice pit trembled. The next moment, a continuous stream of golden treasures, like the reverse current of Reverse Mountain, rapidly surged out.
"So much gold! We're rich! We're rich!" Nami's Berries-shaped eyes instantly turned into flying hearts, completely captivated by the floating gold.
"Bege, open the head gate and load them directly," Kael commanded indifferently, casually picking up a gleaming ancient gold coin from the floating mountain of treasures.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Bege took off his hat, literally "opening his mind" by creating a skylight gate on top of his head. Under Issho's control, the floating gold mountain, like a funnel, flowed into Bege's "bottleneck" head.
"This, this, this, this..." Sai was so terrified by the actions of Kael's subordinates that he slumped despairingly onto the ice. They even had a Devil Fruit user with space-related abilities! It's over, it's over! Not only did Kael and his group open the Treasure Jade Ice Mountain with a single strike, but they were also going to take all of the Eight-Treasure Marine Corps' family treasures. Just now, he had foolishly thought that one warship wouldn't be enough to hold all their family treasures. But now, he was on the verge of tears.
The Eight-Treasure Marine Corps' startup funds were gone. It seemed his marriage alliance with the Second Treasure Marine Corps had to proceed. As large amounts of golden treasures entered within a few meters of Bege, they would shrink and "leak" into Bege's "mind-opening gate." In just a few minutes, countless golden treasures were loaded into Bege's castle space.
Nami and Baby 5 had already scooped up several handfuls of gold from the floating treasure mountain, filling their pockets to the brim. They also picked out some luxurious gem necklaces and rings. Kael had Baby 5 remove her maid's headscarf and put on a crown he casually picked out. This made Baby 5 excitedly jump onto Kael and rub against him. Bege himself had already selected some gem rings, covering all 10 of his fingers. As for Van Augur, he only chose a cape necklace to connect his black cape, adding a touch of color and luxury to his simple attire. As for rings, they would only affect his shooting speed.
"Seeing how cooperative you are, I'll reward you," Kael left a pile of gold for Sai, then smiled and led everyone away from Treasure Jade Ice Mountain.
"Oh, and if the Eight-Treasure Marine Corps can't make it in Kano Country, you're welcome to join the Goa Empire. I like talented people with family legacies like yours," Kael suddenly spoke to Don Sai at the end, wanting to recruit some powerful families with deep foundations for the Goa Empire. After all, the Goa Empire's foundation was still a bit weak. Under the World Government and Garp's 20-year sweep, powerful pirates were suppressed, and ambitious families had left the East Blue to develop in other seas. The overly peaceful East Blue was not conducive to military rise, and the arms business was very sluggish.
He wondered how much Impact Fist legacy Aramaki had dug up from those pillars. While on the way, Kael had instructed Aramaki via Transponder Snail that if these pillars and Daimyo handed over their family legacies, they could get a discount on the ransom and receive lenient treatment.
Soon, Kael and his group returned to the Exile Emperor. The Clone Soldiers immediately set sail, leaving the cold winter island. The few elite Marines exiled by Kael appeared out of thin air, saw the soldiers stunned by Haki all over the ground, and scrambled up Treasure Jade Ice Mountain. They ended up seeing Vice-Pillar Sai slumped on the ice and a pile of gold. And the Treasure Jade Ice Mountain they had dreamed of opening had already been opened, leaving an empty treasure cave.
"No! Our treasure~" Several Eight-Treasure Marine Corps squad leaders cried out in panic and despair. At this moment, extreme heavy snow fell from the sky. Snowflakes were fluttering, and the north wind was whistling, but this extreme cold weather could not compare to the chill in the hearts of Sai and these elite Marines.
At this time, on Onigashima Island...
"Ah ha ha ha, did you see it, did you see it?" "This Marquis has been called the Piercing Marquis of the Goa Empire by Big News Morgans!" Aramaki had been waiting for the latest newspaper from the news bird early that morning, very eager to see the content of yesterday's reporter's exclusive interview. Although this nickname wasn't as direct as the bounty number, the countless impaled corpses in the photos had fully displayed Aramaki's fierce reputation.
"Issho doesn't have a cool title like mine?" Aramaki quickly finished reading the newspaper, revealing an expression like, "Your armor isn't as good-looking as mine." He successfully outshone Issho; even if they were co-Double Marquises of the Empire, he wanted to be more famous than Issho. It was worth entertaining that war correspondent well.
"Your Majesty's title has changed from King of Exile to Exile Emperor!" "That photo of him instantly annihilating countless pirates is truly terrifying." Eric and Saga looked at the newspaper, sighing at Kael's terrifying power. But soon they found that there was almost no description of them. Just one sentence: "The Imperial Baron of Goa Empire, showed bravery." The implied meaning was that they merely showed bravery, and their achievements were a bit lacking. The newspaper also provided an in-depth analysis, which also indicated that the Goa Empire's path to promotion was very bright. After all, even such mediocre people could become Imperial Barons. Why wouldn't powerful individuals with strength give it a try? The path to promotion in the Goa Empire was also posted later.
This made Eric and Saga's faces flush red with anger, strengthening their resolve to become stronger. They were not nobodies! Even Zoro, a viscount, turned a little pale when he saw this analysis. He absolutely had to make his name echo through the heavens, so that Kuina could hear his great name even in heaven. To become the World's Greatest Swordsman, fame absolutely had to be immense. He wanted Hawkeye Mihawk to see his great name in the newspaper.
Zoro, whose wounds had not yet healed, immediately began his training. Barely defeating a pirate with a bounty over 100 million Berries this time did not satisfy him; he wanted to become stronger!
"I don't even have a background photo." Sanji flipped through the newspaper and found not a single piece of information about him. At least Eric, Zoro, and Saga had some small photos of battles, and even a large group photo of their appearance. However, the photo of their appearance didn't even fully capture him standing on the edge, which made him instantly furious. The young man's blushing face said it all. Even Bege, the new guy on the ship, had a photo. If he had known, he wouldn't have humbly chosen to stand on the edge, letting that short, fat Bege stand there instead.
Sanji, who originally had no obsession with fame, now felt his competitive spirit completely surge. Next time, he absolutely couldn't let that short, fat Bege and that moss-head Zoro outdo him.
"Don't be angry, it's not hard to become famous. You're the Third Prince of Germa, if you want the position of Imperial Baron, your sister can arrange it with a single word," Reiju smiled, comforting her furious younger brother. It was normal for a young man to desire fame. After all, which young man didn't want to shake the world and become a renowned figure across the seas?
