Crazy Rank Lu Bu Plays!

Because Okita Souji's summoning time was limited to just 24 hours, Finn remained at the super battleship during that time.

At first, Director Okita was repulsed by Finn's approach, but after receiving the easter eggs, her thoughts and feelings became conflicted.

Head: This isn't right!

From: Actually, this feels… right, and even good!

When the summoning time expired, Souji Okita turned into pure magical energy and vanished.

Finn stood on the deck, feeling the sea breeze as he pondered deeply. After a long while, he turned to the system and asked, "System, is there a way to summon her again, more specifically? I spent such a great day with Okita Souji. If I don't summon her again, what will I do?"

The system quickly responded, "Host, targeted summoning is possible."

"Really?" Finn's eyes lit up. "How do I summon her in a specific way?"

The system explained: "If the host is dissatisfied with the summoned heroic spirit, they can retrieve the spirit early. For every unused hour of summoning time, it converts into one point of targeted summon energy. If less than an hour remains, it will still count as one hour."

"For example, if the Host summons Souji Okita and retrieves her after 8 hours, the remaining 16 hours will be converted into 16 points of targeted summon energy."

"Additionally, the Host will receive 10 points of targeted summon energy every day."

"The Host needs 100 points of targeted summon energy to perform a targeted summon."

Listening to the system's explanation, Finn understood. "So, if I retrieve a heroic spirit early, I can accumulate 24 points of targeted summon energy per hour. Plus, I automatically gain 10 points every day. That means I could accumulate 34 points per day!"

"Exactly," the system confirmed.

"Not bad! This system is reliable!" Finn grinned, his mood lightened. This Heroic Spirit Summoning Pool also solved the problem of his advanced battle group.

With this method, he could summon multiple powerful heroes and bolster his forces, solving the military expenditure issue while also preparing to challenge the World Government. Finn could now gather enough combat power to challenge Mariejois.

Feeling reassured, Finn ordered the super battleship to return to Naval Headquarters.

A month later, the super battleship arrived at Naval Headquarters.

"Isn't that Finn's super battleship?" one Marine soldier muttered.

"Why's he here? Isn't he the most wanted criminal?" another asked.

"This has to be a direct challenge to the World Government!" someone else speculated.

As the ship entered Crescent Harbor, whispers spread among the Marines.

Standing on the deck, Finn received a call from Sengoku. "What the hell are you doing? You're coming back to Naval Headquarters now? What do you want me and your grandpa to do?"

Finn smiled. "Grandpa Sengoku, come fulfill your promise! Doflamingo must have worked with you on the military expenditures, right?"

Sengoku grumbled, "Yes, Aokiji is escorting the funds back now. Doflamingo gave us 20 billion Baileys for military uniforms. The Golden City is a godsend for us."

"But it's not enough, Finn," Sengoku continued. "Just having military funds won't be enough. Without high-level combat forces capable of overthrowing Mariejois, Marine's break from the World Government will turn into a prolonged conflict."

Sengoku paused. "And even then, the pirates will be the real winners, with civilians suffering the most."

Finn's respect for Sengoku grew. It was clear that even Sengoku, who usually aligned with the World Government, had genuine concern for the civilians.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Sengoku. I'll meet you at the back mountain training ground later!" Finn said before hanging up.

Ten minutes later, Finn arrived at the training ground where only five people were present: Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, Akainu, and Kizaru.

These were the trusted few, and Finn noticed Aokiji wasn't there because he was still escorting the funds.

"Hi! Grandpa Sengoku! Grandma Tsuru! How's everyone doing?" Finn waved casually.

Garp, with a low voice, approached and punched Finn. "You brat! If Sengoku hadn't vouched for you, I would've thought you were an undercover agent sent by my worthless son!"

Finn raised his hands in mock surrender. "Grandpa, am I really that untrustworthy?"

Garp grunted. "Who knows? What if your father's brainwashing worked?"

"Forget him," Finn replied. "His actions might resonate with civilians, but if he causes a big war, they'll be the ones to suffer."

Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes brightened. "Finn, I didn't expect you to understand this so well! Grandma Tsuru is impressed!"

Finn shrugged. "It's not hard to figure out. The Revolutionary Army has no chance against the World Government without Marine's cooperation. It's nearly impossible."

"And my method is more scientific," he added with confidence. "To overthrow the World Government, Marine is the only option."

Sengoku nodded. "You're right. With your vision and strategy, if you can provide me with the combat power you promised, I might just retire early."

Kizaru smirked. "You really think so, huh? Looks like I made the right call sticking with you!"

Akainu remained impassive, making it hard to gauge his thoughts.

"Haha! Are you really willing to pass the Marshal position to my grandson?" Garp joked.

Sengoku raised an eyebrow. "What, it's your grandson, not mine?"

"It's both our grandson! Having him is a blessing for Marine!" Tsuru chimed in.

Finn blinked, a bit overwhelmed by the sudden wave of affection from the three elders.

"I said, don't you want to honor our agreement?" Finn interrupted.

"Right, right," Sengoku replied. "Where are the reinforcements you promised?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Sengoku. They're on the way."

Finn opened the system interface, selecting the Heroic Spirit Summoning Pool. His summoning charms had accumulated to 35.

"Heroic Spirit Summon!"

With his command, the summoning pool crackled with energy, and a figure emerged.

A three-star hero: Lu Bu, the God of War.
