The next morning, Caelan woke up from the big bed.

On the other hand Monet and Baby 5 were still sleeping soundly. They had been truly exhausted last night.

"Good morning."

Caelan stretched and greeted the rising sun outside the window.

"Good morning, Caelan-sama."

Of course, it was not the sun that responded to him, but the ever-dutiful maid, Baby 5.

Although she was very tired last night, she woke up as soon as Caelan did.

As she spoke, Baby 5 directly removed Sugar who was leaning on her body, stood up, and helped Caelan get dressed.

Seeing Baby 5's rough movements, Caelan was speechless. "Hey, you can be a little gentler."

"If that's what you need, no problem!"

Baby 5 put the shirt on Caelan and answered with excitement.

"That's exactly what I need. Thank you, Baby 5."

Caelan touched Baby 5's head and spoke gently.

"Caelan-sama, you are welcome. Please use me as you like!"

Baby 5 smiled happily, her eyes narrowing into slits.

It was great that Caelan needed her again and even praised her.

"Uh-huh."

Caelan tilted his head and agreed casually.

Awakened by their movements, Monet looked at them with hostility.

Caelan threw a photo to Monet.

"Doflamingo is dead. The Five Elders gave the order, and the Marines carried it out."

After saying this, Caelan calmly walked out of the room.

Baby 5 did not react much. She just paused for a moment, then went back to bed to take a nap.

For her now, only Caelan was the most important. Everything else, even herself, existed for his needs.

"Young Master, dead?!"

Monet picked up the photo in a panic and shouted in disbelief.

Seeing Caelan leave the room and hearing Monet's scream, Sugar also quickly came into the room.

Seeing her hollow eyes, she quickly knelt down, her eyes drawn to the picture in Monet's hand.

As the benefactor who had taken them in, Doflamingo held a very important place in their hearts. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the one they were willing to be loyal to for life.

Now, Doflamingo was dead!

Neither of the two sisters wanted to believe this and they looked at the photo again and again, hoping to find some flaw.

Seeing Doflamingo's head pierced by Borsalino's laser, it was obvious that he was dead, and the two could only helplessly accept the fact.

For a moment, both Sugar and Monet felt hollow inside.

"The Young Master is dead."

Monet whispered to herself, and tears seemed to flash at the corners of her eyes.

"It was done by the Five Elders and the Marines."

Sugar added angrily.

Then, the two sisters looked at each other and, deceiving themselves, directed all of their hatred toward the Five Elders and the Marines.

What the photo showed confirmed what Caelan had said. The Five Elders gave the order and Borsalino took action. There was no doubt about it.

As for what part Caelan played in it, the two of them were unwilling to think about it in detail.

They subconsciously wanted to deny that Caelan had anything to do with Doflamingo's death

Even though they were deceiving themselves by thinking this way, they could not help but feel a new sense of estrangement toward Caelan.

…

Putting the matter with the women aside for the moment, Caelan began to make new arrangements.

First, Caelan announced that he would be in training for two days. Then, he returned to his room and organized the gains from this period.

What made him treat it so seriously was, of course, related to the system.

The 3 billion Berries seized from the Donquixote family and the 3 billion Berries received from the Five Elders yesterday.

It had to be said that the World Government was rich. The hush money they paid was comparable to the Donquixote family's entire cash flow.

Adding these two together, along with other miscellaneous income,

There were now a total of 6.5 billion Berries deposited on his system panel.

Karna's synchronization progress had reached 42%. By consuming these Berries, he could unlock a new template.

"Consume 5.8 billion Berries and complete the Karna template for me!"

Caelan muttered to himself.

As his thoughts changed, a warm current flowed into his body from the nameless void, making him feel like he was soaking in a hot spring.

Then, the system panel underwent a small change.

• Vasavi Shakti: O Sun, Abandon Thy Crown (EX)

All of his attributes had increased, but none had broken through the rank limit.

According to Caelan's sense, his attributes had increased to about three times that of Doflamingo.

It still felt like it was not enough.

Fortunately, at the same time, the martial arts and combat experience of Lancer Karna were also poured into Caelan's mind, greatly improving his spear skills.

His spear techniques had truly reached the divine realm, even surpassing the swordsmanship he had been studying.

"Um…"

A golden Sun God Spear appeared in Caelan's hand, making him start to reflect.

Why?

He had clearly put a lot of effort into swordsmanship and had good talent, blending sword styles from three worlds (One Piece, Blue Star, and Uncle B).

But it still was not as good as the spear mastery that came with Karna's template.

To be honest, it was quite discouraging.

However, thinking that Karna was one of the top spearmen and Uncle B only had fighting instincts and experience engraved in his bones, Caelan felt relieved.

With that brutal experience and his own diligent study, it was already good enough that he had reached the level of a great swordsman.

"Yes, I'm pretty good. And now the spearmanship of the Divine Realm is mine!"

Caelan comforted himself like this.

If you do not use cheats, you are a fool.

Not cheating in games is called enjoying the fun of the game.

But if you do not cheat in real life, do you have to enjoy the beatings of life?

With the continuous blessing of the system, he would sooner or later become more powerful than any Heroic Spirit, and even reach the realm of gods.

All kinds of abilities, just keep adding to me!

So, what abilities will the new template have?

Caelan was full of expectation and curiosity, so he made up his mind.

"System, open a new template!"
