Chapter 7: At the edge of the abyss
-4 hours later
System: (Congratulations, you've just killed a Marine Captain. You receive $20,000,000 Belly).
I woke up to the system alert, but instantly, I was hit with intense pain in my shoulder and throughout my body.
Johan: "Ahhhgg, darn it, I think I overdid it... but why did I receive a reward? Were Andrew and Mike undercover Marines?"
Anyway, this is quite convenient, who would have thought... me getting help for the sake of the plot. Bahahaha*
Johan: "System, allocate 4 points to the 'Vitality' attribute before I die."

At the same time the status screen appeared, I felt a wave of warmth throughout my body. I quickly calmed down and made my way to a room to lie down, not before setting the pirate ship on course for Kyuka Island.
-1 day later
Sitting and resting on the ship's bow, an island with a rather peculiar mushroom-like shape appeared on the horizon.
After resting for several hours, my body entered a phase of molecular regeneration, not abrupt enough to heal wounds but enough to stop bleeding or quickly heal wounds.
This was due to the 'Vitality' attribute. If this can be achieved with just a few assigned points, I can't help but get excited thinking about 50 points or more; regeneration would be almost instant.
Also, while searching in the ship's rooms, I found $5,000,000 Belly, so now I have a total of $14,000,000.
I even severed Andrew's head and left it in a bag to claim a possible reward, if there is one.
Looking at the blue sky, with some clouds and the sun high above, I was able to calm down and reflect once again.
'Okay, if I can get information on the drug on the island, or even find the distributor, I can take over the business and become the benefactor. In Andrew's cabin, there were some papers with information about the drug, including its effects, and even its value.
Along with the bags on the ship, I estimated that each one could be sold for around $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 each.
Andrew mentioned Rocky; he's probably the person Mike spoke to on the Den Den Mushi. By sending him, he wanted to make sure there were no survivors, possibly being pursued or cornered by the Marines.'
-Kyuka Island
Inside a room high in a skyscraper, several people were interrogating the smallest one.
The interrogators were wearing all-black uniforms along with strange masks, and one of them was in a Marine uniform.
¿?: "We recently lost contact with our informant. Do you know anything about that, Rocky?"
Rocky: "Uh-no, I don't... A few days ago, I sent my best men to check on the merchant ship and the cargo, but I haven't heard from them either. I don't think Andrew would cause any trouble..."
'What does he mean by informant? Does this mean one of my men was a mole?'
¿?: "You have 24 hours, Rocky. If you don't have the cargo by then, there will be no more deals with us... remember, we only collaborate with you for the sake of the Celestial Dragons."
Exiting the room and closing the door, the men left Rocky on the verge of despair and tears.
After leaving the building, the agents headed to the port and were about to board.
¿?: "Very elegant gentlemen, excellent taste in fashion!"
Pausing for a moment, they observed the man passing by in a white shirt, black pants, and a captain's trench coat. But they quickly ignored him and boarded the ship.
This person was obviously Johan, who had arrived on the island just a moment ago.
Johan: "So, Cipher Pol, huh... it seems this is more serious than I thought."
