Kapitel 59: Chapter 59 : Buying Conqueror's Haki !
If he bought out his ability, he wouldn't have to worry about losing it due to lack of funds. No more interest payments required. Four billion Berries didn't seem too out of reach, and with his newfound financial stability, it seemed attainable.
Kahn's dilemma stemmed from the fact that 35 billion Berries was enough to purchase another ability, specifically advanced Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki.
Kahn had long coveted these skills. Upon entering this world, he had daydreamed about possessing Haki, imagining himself radiating an unbeatable aura, a force to be reckoned with. However, reality had been far harsher, slapping him with the truth that he lacked the natural affinity for Haki.
It was more than just ambition; it was a matter of insight, temperament, and innate disposition. Pre-crossing, Kahn had been nothing more than an average office worker, living a mundane 9-to-5 existence. Such bold aspirations were inconceivable for him back then.
Although his current body had strong aptitude, it still lacked Haki. It was an innate skill, difficult to awaken without special circumstances. Therefore, Kahn had missed out on the chance to wield Conqueror's Haki.
However, with 35 billion Berries at his disposal, he could now directly purchase this ability. With Conqueror's Haki, his strength would receive a significant boost. Hence, the decision boiled down to whether he should wait buy out devil fruit ability or acquire Conqueror's Haki.
For anyone in his position, it would be an almost irresistible choice. Strengthened power would only make faster the process of accumulating wealth.
As he wrestled with his thoughts, Kahn made up his mind.
He chose Conqueror's Haki.
Powerful strength could accelerate his wealth acquisition, and given the ongoing turmoil in the New World, it was imperative to increase his own might.
"System, I want to purchase Conqueror's Haki and Supreme King's Disposition!"
"Is the host certain about purchasing Conqueror's Haki and Supreme King's Disposition?"
"Absolutely."
"Congratulations, host, on successfully acquiring the abilities!"
Looking at his attributes, Kahn saw that his cash treasure had dwindled from 36 billion to 1 billion Berries. This was the amount he could currently control.
His monetary resources might have diminished, but his body was undergoing an imperceptible change. A unique sensation enveloped him, an inexplicable presence filling the air.
Kahn grappled with his emotions, feeling something he couldn't quite describe.
It was like a sudden epiphany, a newfound aspect of his being.
He stopped amidst the clouds, attempting to decipher this unfamiliar sensation.
"So this is the sensation of Conqueror's Haki?"
In the next moment, an overwhelming dominance emanated from Kahn, dispelling the clouds in an instant. Within a 10,000-meter radius, no obstacle remained. Seabirds spiraled, and even sea kings lost consciousness within the waters below, their bodies floating lifelessly.
As the skies turned blood-red, silence enveloped the scene.
But Kahn wasn't finished. A blood-red thunder materialized on his dragon form, creating arcs of lightning that crackled menacingly.
"Is this Supreme King's Disposition?"
Kahn extended his paw, crimson lightning dancing across its surface.
His excitement grew; he was eager to test the prowess of these new abilities, especially when it came to his dragon transformation and Supreme King's Disposition.
"It's possible that these abilities might rival even advanced skills in terms of attack power!"
He contemplated the possibility that with these abilities, he could potentially achieve the same level of attack potency as advanced skills without actually using them.
This would mean that his offensive capabilities had elevated significantly with Conqueror's Haki and Supreme King's Disposition.
As he explored these new powers, Kahn realized the vast gulf separating him from the top-tier powerhouses. It was a gap that one could hardly comprehend without experiencing it firsthand.
After a while, the blood-red lightning dispersed, the dominance receded, and the sky returned to its former tranquility.
Now, Kahn could genuinely claim his place among the pinnacle powerhouses of the world.
Supreme physical strength, perfected Conqueror's Haki, and unmatched Devil Fruit ability.
In essence, the latter two alone would position anyone at the peak of global prominence.
And the physical prowess was the underlying foundation for the other two attributes!
Kahn possessed them all.
Whether he was the world's strongest or not remained debatable, but he certainly belonged to that echelon.
A wry smile curved on Kahn's lips.
These abilities were obtained through Berries.
For a moment, he considered the fact that he had spent 35 billion Berries today alone.
An unanticipated expense.
Notably, the system's service fee had increased once again.
Kahn checked the amount.
Now it was a whopping seven million Berries per day, which meant that the billion he possessed would last around 143 days.
However, an astonishing realization dawned upon him.
He couldn't afford to harbor such a naive idea; it was nothing short of delusional.
He chided himself internally for such foolish thinking.
Then a surge of unprecedented motivation coursed through Kahn.
If a ship laden with gold were to fall from the sky, he would snatch it without hesitation.
Nevertheless, he reigned in his greed.
He had nearly four months left, which was ample time to accumulate funds.
A sense of urgency fueled Kahn's determination to earn money.
He understood that with nearly four months, he could undoubtedly raise the required sum.
The notion of robbing a gold-filled ship had been a fleeting, irrational thought.
His thoughts redirected to practicality.
It wasn't difficult to amass money in the Navy. Given his five-decade service, Kahn had no plans to venture elsewhere.
Except in the case that those five old fogies overstepped their bounds.
He had endured for three decades due to his initial powerlessness. But in his current state, he had no intention of submitting to such mistreatment. If he continued to tolerate it, he might as well welcome old age and become pirate.
The motivation to make money outweighed his consideration for the service fee.
Did he really want to waste his resources?
Kahn's thoughts began to solidify into a plan.
He would take Crocodile to marine ford City, remain in headquarters for a brief period, and then head directly to the New World.
Ace's ordeal had taught him a lesson.
To earn significant sums, he needed to tap into the Four Emperors' territories.
Although he didn't anticipate reaping the same rewards as Ace, the potential for substantial gains existed.
With these thoughts in mind, Kahn's smile faded, replaced by a more determined expression.
He unfurled his wings and vanished into the sky.
