West Sea, the entrance of Reverse Mountain, Lasgarp Town.

"It’s about to begin; the captain of the Bed Pirates, with a bounty of fourteen million Berries, is going to be publicly executed."

"This happens every month; what's there to get excited about?"

"But this time it’s a big pirate with a fourteen million Berry bounty!"

...

The noise in the tavern was incessant, and soon a group of patrons settled their bills and rushed to the execution platform.

As the gateway to the Grand Line from the West Sea, the execution platform in Lasgarp Town intimidated all the pirates in the region.

Unless they were Devil Fruit users or pirates needed by the World Government, those captured would be sent here for public execution.

Once a month, the number of executions varied, but there would typically be pirates attempting rescues, only to be ambushed and captured in turn.

At this moment, on the execution platform, Colonel Lomi of the Navy's 80th Division had finished reading the crimes of the Bed Pirates, and the number of lives lost at his hands was already in the hundreds.

Robbery is one of the economic sources for pirates; not every pirate in this era is like Roger, who refrains from harming civilians, even when it comes to stealing. (From Yutian's recollections)

Ninety-nine percent of pirates set sail not for dreams, but to plunder wealth.

"Execute!"

With Colonel Lomi's command, Kevin raised the spear in his hand behind Bed.

At that moment, the crowd around the execution platform stirred.

"Kill!! Rescue the captain! For the treasure!"

"Slaughter these Navy soldiers!"

"Quick! Take the chance!"

"Sofa, we're coming!"

...

As the clamor erupted, what greeted them was a volley of prepared bullets.

"Bang bang bang..."

In the fierce gunfire, the first to have his crimes read, Bed, was pierced through the heart amidst the uproar.

The piercing punishment.

Then, Colonel Lomi leisurely read the crimes of the second mafia member.

On the execution platform, Kevin, spear in hand, looked down.

Through the rain of bullets, someone charged in, holding a long knife to protect their vital points, but already had three bullet holes in their body.

As they approached, their gaze fixed on Kevin, filled with wariness.

In the next moment, the long knife swung, delivering a slash toward the execution platform.

"Bang."

With a single-handed swing of the spear, Kevin shattered it.

"Swish!"

A sound of slicing through the air rang out as the spear stabbed into the person's abdomen, half of it embedding into the bluestone slab of the square.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the figure pinned to the ground stunned all the pirates for a moment.

How... is this possible?

How could the esteemed Master A Ding, who could deliver such a flying slash, be so easily killed?

The spear just now was impossible to see clearly!

"Colonel Lomi, can you read a bit faster?"

Kevin complained, then turned to the mafia member kneeling with a broken knee in front of him: "You're quite calm..."

Sofa, dressed in prison garb, lowered his head: "The lives of people are different; I gave them what they wanted. Kevin, if you let me go, I can also give you what you desire."

As he spoke, he looked up: "Wealth and women, there’s nothing the five mafia families can't accomplish in the West Sea. No one here can stop you, including this Navy colonel who was nothing two years ago."

These words nearly choked Colonel Lomi, who was reading beside him; he shot a deadpan glare back before continuing to read.

After Lomi finished reading, Kevin pierced Sofa with a new spear.

"You can't give me what I want."

Half an hour later, the execution was complete.

...

In the Navy dormitory of the division.

Kevin lay on the bed, sinking his consciousness into the prison within him; this was his golden finger after arriving in this Pirate King world.

A prison that holds souls.

All the criminals he executed would have their souls confined here.

At the center was a high platform, surrounded by eight passageways, with cells on either side.

The recently pierced Bed was now in a cell in Passage Six.

Waking up just now, he looked at Kevin outside with a face full of terror.

"Tsk tsk tsk... over a thousand points of evil value is enough for a bronze treasure chest."

"I’ve already been killed by you, why am I still here? Kevin?!"

"Death is not the end for you people... after all, there are too many ordinary people who have died at your hands."

Kevin looked at Bed in the iron bars, pointed at his head with his hand: "Think carefully; this prison's rules should have already told you."

"As the one with the best soul quality this time, let me make you experience some pain first."

As the words fell, black flames erupted violently in the cage, instantly enveloping Bed's soul.

"Ah!!!"

"Get lost...!"

"Kill me!"

"Pain... ah..."

Outside the cage, Kevin rubbed his ears: "That’s a familiar scream... then let’s begin."

In the next moment, all the souls of those previously executed began their wretched howling.

Unable to faint, unable to lose consciousness.

The black flames burned away the evil within them, minute by minute, until all the evil value was absorbed; only then would their souls disappear from here.

And the absorbed evil was what Kevin wanted.

One hundred points of evil could get a wooden treasure chest, one thousand a bronze, ten thousand a silver... and so on.

There were many things that could be obtained from the treasure chests, both belonging to and not belonging to this world, with the most basic being attribute cards.

Two years ago, Uncle Kuma sent him here. Since then, by utilizing the execution platform of the 80th Division in the West Sea, he had opened quite a few treasure chests.

In the wooden treasure chests were kunai shurikens from the Naruto world, flintlock pistols from this pirate world...

In the bronze chests were shadow clone jutsu skill learning cards from the Naruto world, modern handguns from Uncle Long's adventures...

As for silver...

Because of a habitual lapse a year ago, he had only opened the lowest-level bronze chests and simply couldn’t resist.

However, acquiring attribute cards had greatly improved his physical fitness and reaction speed.

Being able to easily shatter slashes on the execution platform and wield a spear to embed it halfway into the bluestone slab was a testament to that.

Moreover... the shadow clone jutsu from the Naruto world no longer consumed chakra, but rather physical stamina, just like activating a Devil Fruit's ability.

"This time, four were executed and brought in, plus one I easily pinned down, which only has over three hundred evil points. The four combined add up to three thousand two, plus what I had saved before totals thirty-six thousand."

After calculating, Kevin looked at his hands.

Three silver? Or should I wait to open a gold?

But up until now, I’ve never opened a silver...

My hands are itching, and I'm feeling restless...

Should I open one? The rest I’ll definitely save!

With that thought, on the high platform in the prison recording the absorbed evil value, thirty-two thousand four hundred instantly changed to twenty-two thousand four hundred.

Then, a silver-looking treasure chest appeared above.

Rubbing his hands together, Kevin stepped forward to open it.

In an instant, the ever-fluctuating manifestations in the treasure chest gradually settled down.

Yellow... clouds?
