Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

But now it’s different.

I have found a new way of swordsmanship and have the courage and goal to climb to the top.

He was no longer confused. He was convinced that even if he was not as good as others now, he would one day be able to stand at the top of the world!

A phantom image of a demon materialized behind Zoro.

Instead of overestimating his abilities and continuing to challenge Hawkeye, he buried that fighting spirit deep in his heart and constantly honed and tempered it.

It's like forging a sword, waiting to be drawn, when it will surely shock the world.

"interesting."

Hawkeye turned around and looked at the young man with the green hair not far away. When he saw the three knives at the man's waist, he understood everything.

Surprisingly, he wasn't intimidated by the slash; instead, he unleashed an even stronger fighting spirit.

It was this ferocious fighting spirit that caught Hawkeye's attention, drawing the attention of this minor character he had only glimpsed a few times.

"Want to challenge me?"

Make eye contact.

As fellow swordsmen, Hawkeye sensed Zoro's intentions and thoughts, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

With the emergence of game merchants, there will be more and more interesting swordsmen like Zoro in the future, and they will have the opportunity to climb to the top. I think my future path of swordsmanship will never be lonely again.

"Luffy, I will definitely become the world's greatest swordsman! You absolutely mustn't hold me back."

"Of course! I'm going to become the Pirate King! What about you, Kaji?"

"Idiot, my name is Sanji!"

Sanji angrily punched Luffy on the head, but only felt a rubbery elasticity, without causing any injury.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "I have many dreams. I want to find the legendary sea, I want the transparent fruit, and I want to complete my own life's menu!"

"Hahahaha, a life menu? That must be full of food and countless adventures. You have to make it for me, Sanji!"

"Damn it, stop talking to yourself! I haven't agreed to be a pirate yet!"

"How can you go on adventures if you don't become a pirate?"

Luffy laughed heartily, turned to the orange-haired girl, and said, "And Nami, what about your dream?"

"I will defeat the Arlong Pirates and then draw a giant map of all the worlds!"

As one of the earliest players, Nami already knew about the existence of the other world.

The magic scholar's abilities come from another world, and his original dream of drawing sea charts has grown ever larger as his horizons have broadened.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Then let's... go on an adventure!"

puff.

The giant heart was constantly attacked by players, but it still did not suffer any substantial damage.

Suddenly, that vigorous and boundless life force began to shrink abruptly. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the entire heart shrank and withered like a crushed peach.

"Something's not right. I can feel that all the essence of this enormous heart has gathered together!"

The dragon, having reached the edge of the abyss rift, had a solemn expression on its face, its eyes fixed intently on the ground below.

Rumble.

The massive heart, with its defenses at maximum, was ripped open by a single pair of hands.

"Anyone who trespasses into the Soul-Hooking Palace shall die!"

Clad in jet-black armor, with a ferocious appearance, and behind him was a massive cloak from which the wails of countless ghosts echoed.

Each word he uttered would generate a ring of dark gray energy that spread outwards, reducing the health of weaker players by more than half.

Soul Reaper.

According to folklore, when a person is about to die, ghosts from the underworld will come to collect their soul to prevent confusion between the yin and yang realms and to prevent the soul from lingering in the human world.

"Oh no, Master, the Soul Reaper senses the continuous death of the spirits and has gone straight to the first level of Death Island."

Afu, who was constantly monitoring the players' activities, hurriedly spoke nervously after the Soul Reaper appeared.

"This is something that can be imagined."

Fang Yi, looking unnerved, said, "Death Island is a product of slightly modifying the fragments of the Soul Reaper's world. I did not shield the Soul Reaper's senses, so he can definitely detect the large-scale deaths of his Yin Soul Army."

Afu said anxiously, "With the current strength of the players, they simply cannot defeat the Soul Reaper; they will be completely wiped out!"

Although the number of players in the One Piece world is larger than the number of players in the original Ninja World.

However, when the ninjas hunted the ghost mage, they underwent a long period of training and growth.

They possess decent quality equipment and weapons, and have very strong skills.

"But right now, the pirate players haven't even finished equipping their gear yet, so the battles are definitely going to be one-sided."

Afu didn't want to watch Death Island and Trial Tower be destroyed by the Pollution Source Soul Reaper because the players were not strong enough.

"Don't panic."

Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "Do you remember when I told you that the one thing the pirate world has in abundance is origin?"

The vast and boundless sea.

Countless islands and countless resources—this is the greatest asset in the world of One Piece.

The essence of any prosperous island kingdom could surpass that of a small ninja village in the ninja world.

"Faced with the enormous temptation of the rewards, players will not care about being reserved and will use all sorts of means to strengthen themselves."

"Master, you mean?"

Chapter 178 Ideological Clash in the Pirate World

"The nine-story Trial Tower seals the limbs and internal organs of the Soul Reaper. Now, the Soul Reaper is forcibly appearing on the first floor, which is a violation of the game rules."

"To maintain the fairness of the game."

Fang Yi lightly tapped his finger, which landed in the center of Death Island.

The Soul Reaper, whose momentum had reached its peak, suddenly weakened.

Chains bound the Soul Reaper, suppressing his aura to its original level.

"In that case, the difficulty of hunting lords can be brought back to normal."

There are nine chains in total, which means that the Soul Reaper's limbs and internal organs are bound.

Each time the Soul Reaper is killed by a player, one chain will break, and the Soul Reaper's strength will increase by one level, until it can unleash its full power after eight kills.

Furthermore, each time the Soul Reaper dies, a reward will drop.

This gives players ample time to grow.

Afu asked in confusion, "But in such a short time, players simply don't have enough time to grow stronger."

Each time a Soul Reaper dies, he can regenerate his Yin energy and be resurrected within two days.

In just two days, players simply didn't have time to become stronger.

Fang Yi nodded in agreement and said, "When you say growth, do you mean hunting ghosts? Then there's indeed not enough time to become stronger."

It's unrealistic to think you can accumulate enough reward points to upgrade skills and enhance equipment by hunting ghosts in just two days.

But he never intended for these players to hunt ghosts.

After all, there are many ways to become stronger.

Krypton Gold!

It is undoubtedly an easy-to-understand, low-difficulty, and quick way to become stronger.

It all depends on how much wealth the various factions in the One Piece world are willing to contribute to this lord war.

"Is the weakening of the lord monster's aura the work of the game merchants?"

The dragon's breathing was somewhat heavy.

He was very close just now, and he felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the Soul Reaper, which made him want to kneel down.

At the critical moment, it was an angry roar from within his body that allowed him to maintain his standing posture.

These terrifying monsters were even used as toys and stakes by game merchants, and imprisoned in the Trial Tower.

and,

The ability to weaken the Soul Reaper's aura in an instant is clearly different from the fierce battle in which the Navy risked their lives to imprison the Golden Lion.

"The Soul Reaper is backed by the corrupting forces of the Underworld, including not only the Ten Kings of Hell, but also the Four Ghost Emperors and the Lords of the Eighteen Levels of Hell."

Fang Yi watched as the Soul Reaper struggled desperately, unable to break free of the chains binding him.

They are all second-tier sources of contamination, and wanderers like the Ghost Mage Salina can be considered the weakest tier.

Like the Soul Reaper who has the backing of the Underworld, their strength far surpasses that of the Ghost Mage, and their mere aura can intimidate players whose game bodies are only at the first level.

same,

If you can successfully hunt, you can obtain a very rich amount of essence.

"How terrifying! Are we going to fight a monster like this?"

Some marines and pirates were already trembling under this aura, and some even had thoughts of retreating.

This is an irresistible sense of fear.

Originating from the underworld, which controls the netherworld, it possesses a natural power to deprive living beings of their power, representing the purest yin energy and the feeling of death.

especially,

Most One Piece players are not yet familiar with the resurrection mechanism, unlike Ninja World players who have spent many days playing the game and have completely trusted its resurrection capabilities.

This sense of death is extremely effective.
