Two days ago, Rojeered possession during his recovery period with severe injuries. This time, the possession duration didn't decrease due to Rojen's injuries and sted a full hour before ending.

  "Whew!"

  Roje out a gentle sigh, a hint of relief in his eyes. Although the time , fortunately, the most critical injuries had already healed.

  Moreover, it seemed that with Itachi's possession leaving, the Sharingan also disappeared. The mental strain from the excessive use of the Sharingan had lightened signifitly, almost to the point of being ent. At this moment, all he felt was exhaustion.

  After casually adjusting the ship's rudder, Rojen fell into a deep sleep.

  He didn't wake up until the afternoon of the day.

  "Dragon."

  Gazing at the sea, Rojen's expression turned serious.

  The sea was vast, and the world was enormous. Just entering Dragon had pushed him to such a state. Although Dragon would bee a terrifying figure iure, at this moment, he had not yet fully matured. Despite being strong, he had not reached his peak.

  Moreover, after regaining sciousness, Rojen realized another important matter.

  He had run out of money!

  The 75 Million he had painstakingly saved had all bee itle.

  This meant that if he entered a powerful enemy now, he would undoubtedly face certaih! He didn't have enough moo summon a powerful soul, nor could he deal with strong ehis was fatal.

  "What a headache!"

  It was easy to imagihat after summoning Itachi and redug Dragon to such a state, the Marines would not let the matter rest. From now on, he would fadless troubles.

  "ging ships is impossible— I have no money. Summoning a powerful soul is also out of the question— as I still have no money."

  "Money, money, money! It's all about money!"

  Rojen was going crazy. He had already left a society where material possessions were everything, so why was he still w about money?

  "Sigh, let's see what I gained from this battle."

  Uchiha Itachi owerful soul. This battle should have yielded siderable rewards, right? After all, it was worth 75 Million! Thinking of that enormous amount of money, Roje like g.

  "Defeated 650 Marines, obtained 65,000 Possession s. Lost to Marine Rear Admiral Dragon, obtained 300 Possession s."

  When Rojen saw this cold statement from the system, he was dumbfounded.

  "F*** me, what the hell!"

  "I actually lost?! What the hell, I beat Dragon to that state, and I still lost? Fine, I lost, but only 300 Possession s?!"

  "After all that hard work, I gained less than those trash Marines!"

  It must be said, Rojen was thhly enraged.

  He had thought he had won. Although he spent 75 Million this time, the rewards should have been substantial. He could have exged for the Sharingan, powerful ninjutsu, and more. But he never expected the reality to be like this!

  "'t we just get along, system?!"

  Rojen wao smash the system to pieces.

  "If you had tinued fighting, host, you would undoubtedly die. Giving you Possession s is already a sotion prize for your undying spirit."

  Wheioned by Rojen, the system responded with unapologetic sarcasm.

  At this, Rojen was pletely speechless. Although the reality was indeed as the system said, at the very least, on the surface, he had been mighty and imposing, crushing everything in his path, right?

  Of course, one ot fight against fate. In the end, Rojen had no choice but to accept this oute.

  "I have a total of 65,300 Possession s, plus the previous baotaling 66,300 Possession s."

  After cheg the ban the system, Rojen did a rough calcution. This bance was left over from defeating enemies without exging for skills. The system's meism wasirely unfair— defeating enemies would always yield some rewards.

  Of course, Rojen also noticed that the rewards were always the greatest when summoning a ghost for battle.

  "66,300 s, what I exge for?"

  After some frustration, Rojen cheered up. It was better than nothing— these 60,000+ Possession s were already a lot pared to what he had before.

  te brings happiness. One shouldn't aim too high.

  Otherwise, it will be too exhausting.

  However, after just one g the exge prices for Itachi's skills, Rojen almost cursed again.

  "Sharingan, 50 Million Possession s!"

  "Tsukuyomi, 30 Million Possession s."

  "Fire Style (System Ninjutsu), 23 Million Possession s."

  "Chakra Extra Teique, 10 Million Possession s."

  Looking down the list, Rojen almost wao smash the system. Every siem was beyond his current means. The prices, starting at 10 Million, were simply unattainable for Rojen.

  This meant that this time, Rojen couldn't exge for even a single skill from Itachi.

  In other words, he had gained nothing. Well, if the 60,000+ Possession s ted, theill had some sotion Price.

  "Why are they so expensive? Why so expensive! Why so expensive!" Rojen shouted at the system.

  "It's not expensive. You think it's expensive because you lost. If you had won, you could have exged for any of these skills." The system's cold words left Rojen speechless.

  "Damn it, do losers have nhts?"

  Rojen stopped arguing with the system. At the same time, he realized something: if he had defeated Dragon this time, he could have obtai least 10 Million+ Possession s. How astonishing!

  "These powerful ghosts are truly awe-inspiring and enviable!"

  "From now on, I must pi the weak and avoid battles I'm not fident in!"

  After a longing g the long exge list, Rojen could only relutly give up.

  10 Million Possession s— who knows how long it will take to save up that much?

  After calming down, Rojen had a hearty meal, lifted his spirits, a off on his journey again.

  At the same time, he set a small goal for himself.

  "Hmm, let's set a small goal first."

  "Within three months, I o get 100 Million Belly!"

  Without money, Roje insecure, and he also felt very timid.

  After determining the sailing dire, Rojen realized he was very close to Reverse Mountain and headed straight for this passage eg East Blue to the Grand Line.

  In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and now.

  At this moment, Rojen and [The Logan] were slowly sailing under Reverse Mountain, surrounded by a group of pirates with sinister smiles and ill iions.

  "Heh heh, such a young kid wants to go to the Grand Line and bee a pirate?"

  "Did Roger's tales fool him?"

  "Maybe we should teach him a lesson."
