Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

"This is the reward?"

Everyone looked at each other,

With the foundation laid by the magical abilities of the Contract Fruit, they were all eagerly anticipating the rewards from the Lucky Wheel, which was also their motivation for participating in this East Sea Hunting event.

The result... was so ridiculous that the reward was something as ethereal as "Celestial Dragon Bloodline"?

By openly provoking the Celestial Dragons, aren't the game merchants afraid of angering the World Government?

Some pirates stared at the man on the dark tower with expressions of amusement.

The naval personnel at various bases in the East China Sea, including Smoker, were all bewildered, feeling a sense of absurdity and ridiculousness, and at the same time, regretting their decision to come.

Once the Celestial Dragons are involved, things become very troublesome.

Nobody wants to get involved in this mess.

Only Hawkeye's eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion; he showed no signs of watching a show or sensing any trouble.

I was just wondering why there really were products containing Celestial Dragon bloodlines.

Tashigi, her face filled with worry at the prospect of being implicated, whispered, "Making jokes about the Celestial Dragons, what a vile and evil fellow!"

"How dare he?!"

Arlong, the fish-man from the Arlong Pirates, trembled involuntarily upon seeing Buggy in his Celestial Dragon suit.

He tyrannized the East Blue, but he never forgot the tragic situation on Fishman Island, where fishmen were arbitrarily sold to the Celestial Dragons as slaves.

"Zoro, are Celestial Dragons fish? Can I eat them?"

Luffy picked his nose, having never heard of the Celestial Dragons.

Zoro was also completely bewildered, and only from the whispers of the surrounding pirates did he slowly piece together the general information about the Celestial Dragons.

Nami had heard of the Celestial Dragons, only knowing that they were world nobles and should be very rich, but unfortunately she had never met them.

"Idiot, everyone says they're world nobility, but can nobility eat?"

"Yes, nobles are for stealing, how can you eat them?"

Zoro, with a fierce expression, explained to Luffy, while Nami nodded in agreement.

The nearby pirate ships silently moved away from the three's small boat.

"He should die! He deserves to die!"

Dressrosa, the break room of the artificial Devil Fruit factory.

Doflamingo let out an angry laugh.

The more he cared about his Celestial Dragon status, the angrier he became upon seeing Buggy the Clown's attire.

Back then, he didn't hesitate to kill his own father in order to regain his Celestial Dragon status, but he was still rejected by the World Nobles, forever closing the door on him to becoming a Celestial Dragon.

This is a thorn in his side.

The more this is the case, the more supreme the Celestial Dragons are in his heart, and he cannot tolerate anyone disrespecting them in the slightest.

What happened in Donghai was undoubtedly like tearing open his bloody wound, rubbing salt in it, and then standing by and laughing blatantly.

"Unforgivable!"

……

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

A spacious conference room.

Sengoku sat at the very top of the conference table, his face ashen, and said, "To actually involve the Celestial Dragons is simply outrageous."

On both sides are the navy's top combat forces.

Admiral Sakazuki, codenamed Akainu, slammed his fist on the table, a faint heat radiating outwards.

The thick, sturdy tabletop was slammed with two black fist marks, still emitting smoky, burnt smoke.

"If the Celestial Dragons find out about this, the World Government will definitely blame us for neglecting our duty to patrol the world, allowing such a user of the Projection-Projection Fruit to openly challenge the authority of the World Nobles. We will definitely have our military budget cut."

Sakazuki's anger was palpable; he wished he could burn the instigator, the mysterious man in the dark tower, to ashes.

"There's nothing we can do. Perhaps the World Nobles have gone too far lately, causing public outrage?"

Aokiji lay lazily on the table, still wearing his sleep mask, and said in a languid voice.

"Shut up, and stop talking nonsense about the world's nobility!"

Despite his gray hair, he did not appear old; with wise and calm eyes, Lieutenant General He gently reprimanded him.

Although he was aware of Aokiji's attitude towards the Celestial Dragons, the consequences of saying it in private versus in a meeting were drastically different.

"What a terrifying fellow... to dare to counterfeit the suits of the world's elite, how horrifying..."

Admiral Kizaru, wearing sunglasses, uttered a strange exclamation.

At other times, he is always showing weakness.

But this statement is true; the mysterious man who dared to provoke the world's nobles was truly terrifying.

Admiral candidates Chaton and Momousagi, along with numerous vice admirals, didn't even bother to interrupt. Given the sensitive nature of the Celestial Dragons, any wrong word could be targeted.

Akainu said with a ruthless expression, "I propose that the game merchants be arrested and handed over to the World Government."

Chapter 153 The Five Elders: Buggy is a Celestial Dragon who was lost!

If the Marine Headquarters cannot give the World Government and the Celestial Dragons a satisfactory explanation, it will suffer enormous losses.

A reputation can also be tarnished.

Aokiji changed his sleeping position, feeling that he was making a mountain out of a molehill, and retorted, "Won't this make the common people think that the world's nobles lack class?"

"The dignity of the Celestial Dragons must not be desecrated!"

Akainu adheres to the ideal of absolute justice.

If it would damage the strength of the Navy Headquarters, even innocent civilians involved would be willing to sacrifice themselves, let alone the mysterious man who caused such terrible consequences.

It's not a pity to die.

This will serve as a warning to the World Government. If the Celestial Dragons' numerous cruel punishments could be made public, it would surely instill fear in everyone, preventing them from ever again engaging in such absurd and ridiculous acts.

"Seconded."

After a moment's thought, Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded in agreement.

This is indeed the approach that would have the least impact on the Navy, unless the game merchant possesses the same strength as the four pirate kings of the New World.

Otherwise, arresting him and bringing him to justice would be the best decision.

Lieutenant General Tsuru added, "Based on images transmitted from video Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and intelligence gathered from various branch bases in the East China Sea."

"A mysterious man who calls himself a game merchant seems to control a subspace called the Reincarnation Game."

"It's that tall, dark tower."

She stretched out her finger and pointed to the very conspicuous, pitch-black tower in the image.

Wearing a helmet embroidered with a double dragon pattern, Vice Admiral Onigumo understood the implication in Vice Admiral Tsuru's words and asked, "I remember now, Charlotte Brûlée, the eighth daughter of Charlotte Bellbell, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, is a user of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit."

Recalling his previous encounter with her, he said, "Her Devil Fruit ability is to create a mirror world. This game merchant is very likely to have eaten a space-type Devil Fruit, just like the Mirror-Mirror Fruit user."

"That's right, that explains the sound that rings in my ears."

Chaton nodded repeatedly in agreement, and after speaking, he secretly glanced at Momousagi.

The tall and slender Momousagi didn't even glance at him, completely ignoring him.

Lieutenant General Tsuru's lips curled up slightly as she agreed with Onigumo's analysis. She said, "Therefore, the game merchant's strength is likely not weak. Even if a lieutenant general and a reserve general are dispatched, if they cannot control the opponent with Seastone in the first instance, the opponent may escape."

Space-type Devil Fruits are extremely rare, and the power boost that users gain after developing their fruits is not to be underestimated.

The current Fleet Admiral, Sengoku, frowned slightly and asked, "What should we do?"

If it's truly a space-type Devil Fruit, it would be extremely difficult to capture.

Vice Admiral Tsuru stood up, her figure appearing very small among the marines. She said, "Don't act rashly. Let me make contact with them first, find out the game merchant's Devil Fruit ability and strength level, and then make a decision."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded……"

Next, we'll discuss the more detailed issues, such as countermeasures after discovering the game merchant's overwhelming strength, and strategies for dealing with failed capture attempts, etc.

Just as the meeting was about to end,

BLU BRU BLU…

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang.

Sengoku pulled a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and upon realizing it was a secret Den Den Mushi specifically used to contact the Five Elders, he was immediately stumped.

Without a doubt, this was the leak of the provocation against the world's nobles, and the Five Elders' questioning call.

After all, it would be difficult for the Five Elders not to know about such a major event that stirred up the entire East China Sea, especially with the help of Morgans, the news agency president.

He got up and left his seat. In the lounge next door, he steeled himself and answered the Den Den Mushi, waiting for the storm to break.

"The Warring States period?"

"It is I, Saint Satan."

Hearing the voice of the God of Scientific Defense coming from the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku felt a headache coming on. This was the busiest of the Five Elders, and he never expected that it would be the one who took the initiative to call him.

"Do you know about what happened in the East China Sea?"

"Naval Headquarters has received intelligence and is preparing to dispatch its forces to capture the game merchant and hand him over to the World Government."

Zhan Guo nervously finished speaking.

Although he was not afraid of the Five Elders, he still had the responsibility of being the Fleet Admiral on his shoulders. If the Five Elders got angry, the Navy Headquarters would likely be subject to sanctions from all sides.

At that time, he, as the admiral, will be held accountable.
