Kai stopped immediately when he heard this.
"Wow ah ah ah!! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much!!"
Blackbeard was still rolling on the ground in pain, finally coming to a stop after a while.
Breathing heavily, he said, "Huh... huh... I'm alive..."
"Who... are you?"
Although he was arrogant, he had been in the Whitebeard crew for decades and had never encountered a master like this. Despite the other party being young, the strength he had shown made Blackbeard feel that he was almost on par with his father, the strongest man in the world.
He had never heard of anyone with such strength at such a young age. This guy was simply a monster.
"I told you, my name is Uchiha Kai. Who am I?"
"Well... we, the Uchiha clan, mainly work in the security business."
The Uchiha clan was originally responsible for protecting the safety of Konoha Village. They occasionally went out to eliminate enemies and protect the village in advance, so the Uchiha clan was known for security.
Before, he had been a little worried about what the Uchiha clan would do in this world.
It was actually good to be a Marine. In the future, the three Admirals of the Naval Headquarters might be him, Shisui, and Itachi.
The three brothers of the Uchiha clan becoming the three Admirals would be legendary. The Uchiha clan would definitely become a legendary family.
It was also okay to be a pirate. Fighting for world domination, and the winner is king.
But after all, it was somewhat inconsistent with the style of the Uchiha clan. The ninja village was all about accepting tasks, completing them, and getting rewards.
In fact, they didn't have much interest in competing for hegemony.
Now, setting up a security company to be mainly responsible for security would mean they wouldn't offend anyone.
The world's most powerful security company sounded great.
[Ding! Trigger the main quest: The Foundation of Foothold.]
[Task content: Lead the Uchiha clan to establish the world's strongest security company and spread the reputation of the Uchiha clan throughout the world.]
[Mission reward: Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.]
[Tip: Host has reached their own limit. Before the Host completes the task, no further main tasks will be triggered.]
The sound of the task being triggered caught Kai's attention. Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? It seemed this job had to be done.
Without it, it would be too much.
"Security guard?"
Blackbeard looked a little confused. You have such strong power, and you actually work as a security guard?
"Correction! It's security! Not just a guard! Our company is mainly responsible for security work. We protect items and clients. It's a very important job."
Blackbeard's mouth twitched. He was just a security guard, but he saw the dangerous look in Kai's Sharingan eyes and knew he must not say this.
He didn't want to experience the pain he had just felt again.
"You have such great strength; why don't you become a pirate, drink a lot of wine, and eat a lot of meat? You could have money, power, beauty—everything you want!"
"I, Blackbeard, promise that as long as you join my Blackbeard Pirates, I will make you my vice-captain. Wouldn't it be great to dominate the entire world with me?"
Kai touched his chin and said, "It sounds good, but I still have to refuse."
"Why?!" Blackbeard was confused.
"I don't like fighting and killing. My biggest wish is world peace."
"..."
Blackbeard looked bewildered. Was this guy lying with his eyes wide open?
Brother, if you're going to lie, at least make it believable. Look at the guy on the ground with the power of the Thunder Fruit—what has become of him? And you say you like peace?
Here's the revised text with "Xuan Yan" replaced by "Kai" and grammatical corrections made to fit American English:
"Since you're a security company, you can also accept my commission."
"Okay, but can you afford the price?"
"What are the prices of your company?"
"Our company members are divided into five levels.
The strength of the people in the first level is about the equivalent of a bounty of 50 million berries.
The strength of the people in the second level is about the equivalent of a bounty of 100 million berries.
The strength of the people in the third level is about 500 million berries.
The strength of the people in the fourth level is about 1 billion berries."
Kai listened to this.
"What about the fifth level?"
Blackbeard urged anxiously.
"10 billion."
Kai stated a number that shocked Blackbeard.
Blackbeard immediately denied it loudly, saying, "Nonsense!!! The Four Emperors with the highest bounties are all over 5 billion. How can there be a pirate with a bounty of 10 billion?!"
Kai looked at Blackbeard with a smile. "I'm not talking nonsense. Can't you even calculate such a simple math problem? If you add two 5 billion, isn't it 10 billion?"
Blackbeard's expression changed. Two 5 billion is equal to 10 billion. Did this kid mean that the strongest guy in their security company could deal with two Four Emperors? Stop joking.
"Which one do you want?"
Blackbeard's mind raced.
"I want the fifth level! How much does the fifth level cost?"
"100 million berries."
"100 million berries isn't bad; it's not expensive."
"100 million a day."
"100 million a day?! Why don't you just rob it?!"
Kai shook his head and said, "We don't bother with something as unskilled as robbery. Besides, robbing money isn't as fast as this!"
