A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

The skinny old man's expression changed drastically. He was a dead man and not afraid of this thing, but his injured girlfriend in his arms was a different story.

Seeing this, he frantically grabbed several dead bodies to shield himself and the short-haired girl, as for the blonde wavy hair, he didn't care if he died!

Boom!

A flash of light, followed by a deafening explosion, and a powerful shockwave swept across the rooftop, instantly obliterating the fifty or sixty corpses.

However, the shockwave came and went quickly, and soon the blonde, wavy-haired girl sat up from the ground, looking completely bewildered.

"Damn, that was close, I almost died... Achoo!" The blonde, wavy-haired man rubbed his nose, looked closely, and realized that his hand was covered in gold dust.

"Uh... Jericho Gostav turned into powder?" The blond, wavy-haired man stared blankly at the gold powder in his hand, one eye bigger than the other, his face full of disbelief.

Where is the promised divine artifact? Where is the great vessel that will reverse the passage between Heaven and Hell?

It was wiped out by a single shell?

What kind of magical artifact is this?

At the same time, as the golden monument disappeared, the dead ghosts falling from the sky were sucked back in.

The thick, inky clouds dissipated, and the clear, cloudless sky returned, revealing no trace of the devastating scene from just two or three minutes earlier.

Cao Gui patted the 120 Firecracker in his hand and put it back into his [System Backpack]: "Finished, call it a day. Over there, .pd, remember to clean up the mess."

After saying that, he left with a moonwalk, leaving only the two cops behind... The policemen stared at each other in disbelief.

So you're really trying to whitewash it?

Hey~

[The host eliminates the leader of the undead and thwarts their conspiracy, completing a "Protect the Territory and Protect the People" mission. Reward: 6 merit points and 3 experience points.]

Hey~

[Congratulations, host, you have reached 45 experience points and your rank has been promoted to Navy Lieutenant Commander.]

[Rewards: 45 Merit Points, Character Card: Absalom (Clear-Clear Fruit User, the Most Enviable Person)], Character Card: Doflamingo (Title: Joker, King of the Underworld, Evil Person)]

[Reward: Devil Fruit - Paramecia-type Hormone-Hormone Fruit]

[Distribute military supplies (uniform, flintlock pistol, justice cape, saber, 8000 million Berries)]

Hey~

【Justice Naval System (Supporting Every Naval Soldier with a righteous heart)】

[Soldier's Name: Cao Gui (Naval Lieutenant Commander, Swordsman Apprentice)]

[Merit Points: 4576.2 million; Experience Points: 45.5/50]

Cao Gui glanced at the rewards issued by the system and was very surprised. This time, the character card reward was Doflamingo, and the fruit was the Hormone Fruit.

To be fair, the Hormone-Hormone Fruit is indeed a pretty good Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. It's absolutely top-tier in terms of support abilities, and if combined with physical skills and Haki, it would definitely be a formidable fighting force.

Ivankov in the original work is such a character, using his Okama Fist combined with his Devil Fruit ability to make a great show of himself in the Marineford War.

but……

It's useless against Cao Gui.

Cao Gui had many better options; compared to other fruits, this hormone fruit was clearly not up to par.

After thinking it over, Cao Gui exchanged the Hormone Fruit along with the Jacket Fruit he had been rewarded with last time for merit points.

[After system evaluation, the host has contributed a Paramecia-type Jacket Fruit and a Paramecia-type Hormone Fruit, and will receive 2000 million and 3000 million merit points respectively. Confirm contribution?]

"confirm!"

As Cao Gui nodded, 50 million merit points were directly credited to his account, bringing his total merit points to 90 million.

Looking at the 9 million merit points on the system panel, Cao Gui sighed. You have to understand, he had worked himself to the bone and traveled all over the world before, but he had only earned a mere one million merit points.

I thought it would be ages before I could get a proper fruit, but I never expected... As expected, leveling up is the right way, everything else is a crooked path.

However, 90 million doesn't seem very satisfying. If it were 100 million, that would be much better... Cao Gui stroked his chin and pondered, his gaze sweeping over a golden cross in the [System Backpack].

This thing was the core of the golden monument. Although Cao Gui destroyed it with a single shot, this thing did not break like the others. Upon seeing this, Cao Gui immediately put it away.

"System, can this be redeemed?"

[After system evaluation, the host has been awarded 1000 million merit points for contributing the Jericho Godstaff Core Cross, the Gate to the Underworld. Confirm contribution?]

Cao Gui's lips twitched; he had a feeling that this thing might not actually be worth ten million.

"Exchange it."

The moment the thought crossed my mind, the 90 million on the system panel turned into 100 million.

……

In the bedroom of a villa in a New Jersey neighborhood.

Cao Gui was filled with grief and indignation, his teeth clenched, but he was trapped in a huge, transparent spider web and had no way to break free.

despair!despair!despair!

The crisp, melodious, yet steady and powerful sound of high heels striking the ground rang out.

"Oh ho ho ho~ What, you summoned me here just to do nothing?" Gwen walked in from outside the door, gently tossing her light golden hair, and said coldly.

A pair of pale purple ram horns were faintly visible in her long hair, and she had a pair of small and cute black wings on her back. Her originally azure pupils had turned scarlet, making her look elegant and alluring.

"You witch, let me go! You can forget about it..." Cao Gui roared angrily, struggling with his hands, but under the witch's magical restraint, Cao Gui's pitifully weak strength was no match for the spider web created by magic.

bang~

Cao Gui was suddenly startled and turned his head to look, only to find that a spider web stuck to the wall had suddenly snapped.

Gwen was also taken aback for a moment, and then the two of them tacitly ignored the broken spider silk.

"Witch, let me go!" Cao Gui roared in grief and indignation.

"Hahaha, give up now, you're the one who summoned me here!" Gwen smiled slightly, raised her hand to stroke her back, and chuckled as she picked up her pointed tail.

"Damn it, you'll never make me submit... Ugh..."

Suddenly, Cao Gui was speechless; the pressure from the face wash made it impossible for him to concentrate.

Cao Gui:))"??)

"Witch, take this!" Cao Gui suddenly used his hands to break free from the restraints and subdue his opponent.

"Damn it, how is this possible? You actually... mmm..."

……

Three hours later, Cao Gui sighed. It turned out that the succubus he had been looking forward to for so long would only take three or four hours.

"You bastard..." Gwen muttered, lying on Cao Gui's chest, so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open.

"You rascal, I'm going to sleep, don't make a sound, don't make a sound..."

Ring ring ring~

But just then, the phone rang, and Cao Gui was startled. He quickly picked it up and saw that it was Sitwell.

“Cao, come with me to New Mexico, I need your help!” Sitwell said in a deep voice.

Chapter 270 Trip to New Mexico

As the sun sets at dusk, a highway stretches to the horizon in the vast Gobi Desert, where all that can be seen is a desolate landscape.

On the sparsely vegetated ground, hot winds whipped up sand and dust, occasionally sending up large gusts that lashed against the car windows. Tumbleweeds, propelled by the heat, gently drifted across the asphalt road, which had been stained a yellowish-brown by the sand.

New Mexico, the true wilderness of the Great West, borders Arizona to the east and Texas to the west. It's a land of plenty with a small population; you might not see a town for hundreds of kilometers.

This place is teeming with venomous insects and ferocious beasts, home to deranged killers and super cannibals, as well as hospitable people from the south of Latin America.

Here, ordinary people have nothing to trust except the guns in their hands. This is why the people of this country will never ban guns. They don't trust anyone other than themselves, not even those in uniform.

On the highway, a black Mercedes-Benz sped by, kicking up clouds of dust.

Inside the car, the song "Titoli" played melodiously through the speakers. The clear whistling, the strings that resonated in the heart, and the powerful shouts instantly brought to mind the image of cowboys fighting to the death under the red sun and yellow sand.

but……

"Uncle Gaspar, could you change the music?" Cao Gui's face twitched slightly.

The music was indeed very nice, but the problem was that there were too many whistles, and coupled with constantly drinking water in the hot weather, Cao Gui always felt the urge to go to the toilet.

“Sorry, I thought you would like it.” Sitwell shrugged, then said seriously:

"Oh, right, one more thing. During working hours, you need to address me as 'Superior,' understand?"

"Yes, Ah She." Cao Gui rolled his eyes and said, "Since you're talking about work, tell me about this trip to New Mexico. Why did you call me out in such a hurry?"

Cao Gui said irritably, "Back then, he and Gwen had finally unlocked a new form of knowledge and were completely absorbed in learning."

As a result, Sitwell made a phone call and summoned him away. It was only because it was Sitwell; if it had been anyone else, Cao Gui would have already burned him alive.

“The day before yesterday at noon, the Inspectorate detected a peculiar energy descending upon New Mexico,” Sitwell said in a deep voice.

"The day before yesterday at noon?" Cao Gui frowned. Wasn't that when that dead guy was up to his old tricks?

"Yes, we suspect that this might be related to the dead ghost, so we called you over to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Cao Gui's face immediately darkened. "That damned devil! He bothered me once, and now he's bothering me a second time?"

"These things are really persistent!" Cao Gui said, clearly annoyed.

"Sorry to bother you." Sitwell shrugged, but this was the only powerful fighter he could rely on, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Never mind." Cao Gui shrugged. "Well, you're my adoptive father, after all."

During their conversation, Sitwell parked his car next to a roadside gas station because the car was out of gas and needed to be refueled.

"There's a convenience store at the gas station, what would you like to eat?" Sitwell asked considerately while refueling.

"I'll go buy it myself." Cao Gui rolled his eyes.

The United States is a country with a history unlike any other normal country. Its establishment and rise are different from other traditional countries, which has resulted in various customs in the United States being different from those of normal countries.

In terms of food, this manifests as Americans' great enthusiasm for canned goods, which are generally disliked by people in China.
