Lao G’s Bounty at 61,000,000 Berries

Lao G is seventy years old, and his fighting style is built entirely around that number. Jiin-Ken turns the symptoms of old age — stiff joints, short breath, hesitant footwork — into an actual fighting stance, then releases, through a qigong technique, decades of stored vital energy in one burst. For a few seconds, the old man hits with a young adult's force, before dropping back into an exhaustion heavier than the one he was faking.

No Devil Fruit, no weapon: alongside Dellinger and Vergo, he is one of the few Donquixote Family officers running on nothing but body and technique, in a crew where almost everyone else ate something, which makes his seventy years of accumulated technique the closest thing the Family has to a fighter who built himself from nothing but time.

Sai, the newly crowned Don of the Happo Navy, knocks him out with a single head kick that sends him crashing into a rock wall — a fighter not yet thirty against a man who has spent more years fighting than Sai has spent alive. Nothing in Lao G's file suggests he underestimated the opponent; the loss simply comes down to a youth that even his own stock of borrowed vitality could not outlast forever.

Sixty-one million berries for the oldest officer in the group, whose one real edge over the rest of the Family was always the time he had already survived, never the time still left to him.
