Chapter 65: Vice Admiral-Level Strength
"Not bad. It's only been fully enhanced at the basic level, yet it's already reached the strength of a Rear Admiral."
Feeling a surge of power flow through his body, Jiang Qize's lips curled into a wide grin.
But it wasn't enough. The Mosasaur was his ultimate trump card—his last line of defense—so he had to push its power even further.
Opening the enhancement interface again, he saw that aside from the claw enhancement, all the others had upgraded to the intermediate tier.
Each intermediate enhancement cost ten million berries, while intermediate Haki enhancements cost fifty million—a staggering price.
He currently had 194 million berries remaining.
"Let's invest another ninety million into the Mosasaur," Jiang Qize decided after a brief pause.
He ultimately selected intermediate enhancements for [Body Size], [Physique], [Skin], [Speed], and [Armament Haki].
The reason he prioritized speed was simple—according to the system, speed was a foundational stat. For example, if the Mosasaur's base speed was 1, and the Swift-Swift Fruit provided a 15× boost, that would make its total speed 15. But after an intermediate speed enhancement, its base speed would rise to 2—making its boosted speed 30.
That was a game-changer.
Five enhancements, exactly ninety million berries.
As the money was deducted, the freshly upgraded Mosasaur began to change once again.
This time… it was a transformation on an entirely different scale.
Bzzzt!!
An overwhelming aura erupted from the depths of the sea where the Mosasaur lurked. The surrounding seawater was blasted away by the force of its body, momentarily creating a vacuum before collapsing back in an instant.
Then, the creature's gray, spiked armor began to darken, gleaming faintly with a metallic sheen as its massive frame continued to expand.
Sixty meters… seventy… one hundred…
It finally stopped growing at a colossal one hundred fifty meters.
"Roooooar!"
The Mosasaur opened its bloodstained jaws and roared again and again, its cries rumbling through the ocean and reaching even above the surface.
A layer of black Armament Haki spread across its body, covering nearly half its armored skin, giving it a fearsome, imposing presence.
At this point, the Mosasaur truly possessed the power of a ruler of the sea. Unless it encountered one of the giant Sea Kings, there was nothing in the ocean that could threaten it.

"Hahahaha…"
Jiang Qize burst out laughing without restraint when he saw the stats.
The Mosasaur had reached Vice Admiral level! In this vast ocean, unless he ran into an Admiral or one of the Four Emperors, there was no need to fear anyone.
Granted, this level of Vice Admiral strength wasn't on par with legends like Garp—but it was still stronger than most of the Marine giant Vice Admirals.
And since the Mosasaur fought in its home turf—the ocean—with environmental bonuses on its side, there was likely no Marine Vice Admiral alive who could match it.
What's more, its Swift-Swift Fruit ability now provided a 20× speed amplification—a truly terrifying thought.
Now, Jiang Qize finally had a powerful force of his own. No more hiding or playing it safe.
If he ran into the Marines again, he'd rob a Navy battleship for himself—after all, he wasn't exactly satisfied with his current vessel.
