Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

The video playing inside shows the scenery near the game's trial tower.

Countless ships have gathered together, including not only pirate ships, but also luxurious national ships from various kingdoms in the East China Sea, and warships from naval bases throughout the East China Sea.

They maintained a safe distance from each other.

"Illusion Fruit user, or Projection Fruit user?"

Smoker frowned, pondering the mastermind behind the uproar in the East China Sea.

However, the more I thought about it, the more impossible it seemed.

He had seen many Devil Fruit users, both pirates and marines, and even he himself was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.

However, for most people, the power they unleash can only affect the area around their body at most.

Even slightly stronger ability users, like myself with the top-tier Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit, could at most spread the smoke they released to two streets.

I've heard that admirals and emperors, who stand at the pinnacle of the world, can shatter islands during battle.

But that was the limit.

I have never heard of anyone whose ability can be activated over such an absurdly large area.

Not just two streets,

It is not an island.

It is not a kingdom.

It's the entire East China Sea!

Countless seas, countless kingdoms, countless islands—though called the weakest sea, its size is in no way smaller than any other ocean.

After a moment of silence, Smoker packed the necessary items for the voyage and said, "Let's report to Marine Headquarters first."

"Eh...yes!"

Tashigi was somewhat surprised.

Captain Smoker, who has always been unconventional, rarely contacts the Navy Headquarters, finding it annoying that the headquarters often issues meaningless orders that restrict him.

This is the first time ever.

This also indicates that the game activity that suddenly appeared in the sky over the East China Sea is not simple and has reached a level that Smoker takes extremely seriously.

……

"Master, is this really okay?"

With delicious food filling Afu's mouth, his cheeks bulged out, making him look like a hamster hoarding food.

She looked at the image projected by the Den Den Mushi.

Thousands of ships have gathered around the game's trial tower, all waiting for the game's activities to begin.

Fang Yi laughed and said, "Since the consciousness of the pirate world wants a battle, then let's put this battle into the reincarnation game, and all the origins will be absorbed by me."

The area within the game's trial tower can be seen as an extension of the game space.

The entire trial tower has been transformed into nine levels of space.

The source of pollution in the Pirate Novice Village is the Soul Reaper from the Yama Palace.

Ghosts.

Its most distinctive feature is its ability to possess others.

Fang Yi directly opened the passage in the Soul Reaper area, connecting it into the Trial Tower, and threw all the Yin spirits into the nine-story Trial Tower.

The higher the tower level, the stronger the Yin spirits become.

The ninth floor is directly connected to the Soul-Hooking Hall, where the source of pollution [Soul-Hooking Envoy], which is attached to the body of the King of the Near Sea, resides.

Afu ate five more plates of seafood fried rice, then looked enlightened and said, "In that case, the strongmen of the pirate world will be able to hunt down the Soul Reapers very quickly."

Sanji, whose arms were aching, was bursting with intense fighting spirit. He hadn't encountered such a voracious eater in a long time; this was a challenge for him.

"Since it's a game of reincarnation, what's needed is absolute fairness."

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "The beginner village is meant to be a breeding ground for players. If it's used to allow strong players to easily crush others with their real strength, then there's no point in nurturing them."

Afu glanced at the players rubbing their hands together in the Den Den Mushi image and had a bad feeling. He asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

"Simple."

Fang Yi curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Ninja World players, keep spending reward points to bring your game equipment back to reality."

"The players in the One Piece world are exactly the opposite!"

"Most One Piece players can only start climbing the tower from level 1. A few people who already possess powerful abilities in real life need to spend reward points to bring their abilities into the reincarnation game if they want to widen the gap with others!"

"For example, Hawkeye, if he wants to bring his real-life swordsmanship and domineering aura into the game, he can only use reward points to perform soul binding!"

Afu looked at his master in disbelief and said weakly, "Master, isn't what you're doing a bit unfair, or rather... cruel?"

In reality, players have to spend money to use their own abilities?

"Is it black? This is what fairness is all about!"

Fang Yi tapped her white-haired head and said, "Whoever pays out more reward points has the advantage. Isn't that fair?"

"If Hawkeye spends tens of thousands of reward points and starts the game on par with Bucky, that would be truly unfair!"

Chapter 146 Sanji: Isn't my cooking skill good enough?

Until evening,

Sanji collapsed to the ground, exhausted, leaning against the cupboard, looking at the empty food storage, and gave up.

"Was that little girl a sea king in disguise?"

He lit a cigarette, his fingers trembling as he picked it up and put it in his mouth.

After changing back into his waiter's outfit and tidying himself up, Sanji returned to the restaurant and went to the table of two special guests.

"It's an honor to host you both. How do you feel?"

A highly skilled chef, especially one who gets to cook to his heart's content with his dishes, is a truly memorable experience.

In particular, it's great to hear firsthand that the food you've made has been appreciated by your guests.

With a smug look and a hint of anticipation, he watched the beautiful white-haired porcelain doll, Afu, whose lips were moving as if she was about to speak.

"good to eat."

Afu gave a heartfelt answer.

Although it wasn't as delicious as some of the special foods his master had exchanged for him, it was still considered top-tier among ordinary foods in the entire One Piece world.

Sanji's smile froze slightly.

Although Afu said it was delicious, his tone suggested he wasn't quite satisfied.

Is there any chef in the entire East China Sea who can make even more delicious food?

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Don't mind. The special foods that the little girl ate before cannot be compared with the food in this world. As the sous chef of Baratie, your cooking skills would be highly regarded by the great pirates in the New World and make you a guest of honor."

When Afu cries or has a craving, he sometimes uses a small amount of his own essence to create dishes that are deeply memorable from his past.

Those foods all come from a special world with rules governing gourmet food. Foods with inherent blessings cannot be compared to ordinary food from the One Piece world.

This is very unfair to a chef.

"Even if they are the Four Emperors, I have no interest in being their chef."

Sanji frowned slightly and said, "However, I can't pretend I didn't hear you say that there's a special food that I can't compare to."

No chef with a true culinary spirit can ignore questions raised about their cooking skills.

Fang Yi looked at Sanji, who had curly eyebrows, with an appreciative gaze.

The players that the Reincarnation Game needs most are those who have aspirations and are willing to take action to achieve them.

Inside the restaurant,

Some regular diners who often come to the floating restaurant, as well as the kitchen staff who have finished their busy work, were also attracted by Sanji's words.

"It's Sanji's sous chef, and someone actually said his food isn't as good as the other chefs'?"

"I am a famous gourmet in the East China Sea. I have traveled all over the East China Sea and have never eaten a restaurant more delicious than Balati Restaurant."

The regular diners gave strange looks.

This was the first time they had ever heard anyone say that the dishes made by the sous chef at Barratier were inferior to those made by other chefs.

With a fierce appearance, Paddy, a former pirate and now the combat captain of the floating restaurant, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Are you two dissatisfied with the taste of the dishes?"

He looked at the two of them scrutinizingly.

There are customers who question the food, but most of them are people who want to eat for free after they've eaten their fill, deliberately finding fault and refusing to pay.

Although Fang Yi and the exquisite porcelain doll beside him didn't look like pirates looking for trouble and shirking their debts.

But as the saying goes, anything can happen on this vast ocean, so never judge a book by its cover.

"Paddy, stop acting like a pirate."

Sanji glanced at him and said calmly, "Providing food for the hungry is a chef's duty. But I'm really curious, is there anything wrong with my cooking skills?"

This wasn't just Sanji's question.

The same question lingered among all the diners and chefs in the restaurant: if they weren't deliberately trying to skip out on their bill, could there really be an even stronger chef in the East China Sea?

"I'm sorry, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to question your cooking skills..."

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Fang Yi's smile remained unchanged as he corrected, "Your culinary skills are very strong. This is already the limit that an ordinary chef can reach, but this is your greatest achievement, a higher level of culinary skill that you cannot reach at present."

silence.

All the longtime diners who love Barratier Restaurant were angered by this statement.

The other party's words were far too arrogant.
