Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

"They're probably just jealous of the revolutionary army's silver goods..."

Red-haired Shanks stood on the deck, his usual carefree demeanor gone, replaced by a somber expression.

The situation is out of control.

If the families founded by the Marine Headquarters cannot be destroyed now, things will snowball, and both the pirates and the Revolutionary Army will find themselves in an increasingly passive situation.

"I must say, he truly lives up to his title of Master of the Warring States Period."

Shanks shook his head helplessly.

Back then, when he followed Captain Roger to the final island, he could have known everything, but because Bucky had a fever, he stayed at the stop before landing on the island.

Even without Bucky, he had no intention of going to the island.

Especially after the captain's death, he inherited Roger's will and refused to change even when Bucky scolded him.

Just like that straw hat,

Roger entrusted the straw hat to him for safekeeping, and he lived up to expectations, waiting for the person who could change the world to appear.

Luffy, the child chosen by the Nika Fruit!

Shanks touched his empty right arm, his gaze deep and resolute, and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, but until Luffy grows up, we must maintain the balance of this ocean. Only in this way can we finally touch the new era!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they held their breath, awaiting the game merchant's reply.

Fang Yi seemed to have no idea what to do and said nonchalantly, "Okay, but who's going to draw the prize?"

"I choose Admiral Akainu!"

A voice rang out on the deck of a warship.

There were too many naval soldiers to identify who it was.

"I also choose General Sakazuki! Let him come! He is the one everyone wants!"

Chapter 231 Naval Rewards? Public Execution!

"Sakaski!"

Lieutenant General He said indifferently, "Don't embarrass yourself with such methods!"

There are also factional conflicts within the Navy Headquarters.

Compared to the lazy Aokiji and the clock-in-the-clock Borsalino, the iron-blooded hawkish Sakazuki has the most supporters among the lower-ranking admirals.

Otherwise, it will be impossible to reverse the situation in the future where the Five Elders want Aokiji to become the Fleet Admiral.

"I do not understand."

Sakazuki would naturally not admit that he had secretly sent his personal guards to make the message.

There are unexpected benefits to doing this well, and as long as you don't admit it, there will be no loss even if Lieutenant General He discovers it.

"Should we choose Admiral Aokiji or the veteran hero Garp?"

"Smoker should be the number one naval officer right now, right?"

The clamor of discussion made Lieutenant General He frown and ask, "Mr. Fang Yi, can Marshal Zhan Guo draw the prize?"

Since the factions cannot reach a consensus, leaving it to the Admiral is the best decision.

"No."

Fang Yi explained very patiently, "Only by obtaining the Contract Fruit and becoming a player can one participate in game activities. Although Sengoku became a player by selling naval bases, he did not participate in this East China Sea game activity."

To transfer your eligibility for the Hunting Pollution Lord lottery, you need to have at least some contribution points from fighting the Pollution Lord.

How to do this?

Lieutenant General He frowned deeply.

The eyes of the naval high command were all fixed on her. As a naval staff officer, Tsuru, although a vice admiral, had on-site decision-making power like a naval admiral.

Her words will determine the future structure of the navy.

Garp, oblivious to the situation, continued to leisurely eat his rice crackers and donuts.

Fang Yi was well aware of Lieutenant General He's concerns.

Even when surrounded by tens of thousands of players, Lieutenant General Tsuru did not show such a conflicted expression.

Regardless of the faction, uneven distribution of resources is the most important reason for low morale, especially on the eve of a major battle, which may determine the outcome of the war.

"In that case, why not leave it to the Navy's will?"

Seeing that Lieutenant General Tsuru was hesitant...

Fang Yi stretched out his hand and gently pointed to the center of the naval camp.

All the navy personnel who had participated in the Pollution Lord hunt glowed with a faint white light, carrying a slight force as they tried to push the pointer of the disc forward.

"How about we decide the rewards that the Navy can draw based on the collective will of 8,764 Navy personnel?"

This method is undoubtedly the way to perfectly ignore naval factions.

Let's all work together and no one should embezzle.

"Mr. Fang Yi, the prizes drawn are related to the will and wishes of the winners. With such a large number of winners, won't it interfere with the prizes?"

"The final prize depends on the collective will of the Navy."

Fang Yi politely replied, "If the navy's will is to rule the world, and even the lowest-ranking soldiers share the same idea, then the prizes they draw will be related to ruling the world."

"If the Navy's will is to protect the world, then it can also receive rewards that align with that will."

This lottery-style system based on collective will is akin to public execution.

Doesn't the Navy Headquarters always claim to be protecting peace across the four seas?

Now is the time to witness the power of will.

Every prize drawn had nothing to do with protection, making every word the Navy Headquarters had said feel like a slap in the face.

Even Lieutenant General Tsuru wasn't entirely confident.

She trusted most of the excellent naval soldiers, but not all of them; human nature is the hardest thing to withstand the test.

A corrupt and lawless colonel, and lieutenant generals who, following the World Government's orders, indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people and launched the Buster Call.

And the mid-level naval officers who disregarded the aftermath of the Alabasta crisis.

These are all things that Lieutenant General He is worried about.

But things have come to this point, and backing down now would only confirm the dark side of the Navy, so they have to go on even if it means gritting their teeth.

Thank you for your understanding.

Lieutenant General Tsuru bowed slightly, his eyes fixed intently on the gradually rotating disc.

Five dazzling golden discs, like the sun hanging high in the sky, attracted everyone's attention.

Slowly, the golden discs overlapped.

Each time a reward overlaps, some lower-quality rewards are removed.

Until the final, brilliant golden light almost stung the players' eyes.

"Damn navy, I will never let you get away with this!"

Doflamingo's lips curled up in a forced smile, and the bulging veins on his forehead indicated his current volatile mood.

To say that the first kill was stolen by the leader of the revolutionary army is due to one's own lack of strength.

He was convinced.

However, even after selling most of Dressrosa and creating several high-level puppets, he was still outmaneuvered by the Navy.

"We can't sell the whole of Dressrosa..."

Immediately afterwards, Doflamingo thought of this matter.

The original plan should have been to kill all the followers of the Riku royal family. Are there still any who still have expectations of the Riku royal family?

aside,

Hawkeye stood on the deck of the Redfords, dodging Shanks's outstretched arm.

"Unfortunately, the Navy doesn't have any true swordsmen, so it's highly unlikely that they'll be able to draw any prizes related to swordsmanship."

Hawkeye feels it's a pity.

He has already reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the world of One Piece, yet he still wants to stand on tiptoe and see what's even higher.

Shanks, like a leech, ignored Hawkeye's disdainful look and forced his way to the side to ask, "Aren't you worried? Openly exchanging for a Navy warship and making an enemy of the Navy Headquarters—the stronger the Navy is, the more dangerous your situation will be."

Even if the world government has not issued an official statement,

However, given the current situation at the Marine Headquarters, it is clear that it is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Five Elders, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea exist in name only.

"It doesn't matter."

Hawkeye's gaze was as sharp as a falcon's, and his aura as a swordsman emanated from within.

but now,

Although his gaze was equally cold, in Shanks' eyes he was like a sword that concealed its sharpness and was sheathed.

Hawkeye noticed the change in Shanks's gaze.

Turning his head, he saw a fleeting glint of fighting spirit in his eyes and said, "If you want to fight, I'm happy to oblige."

Shanks exclaimed in surprise, "To hear you say that? Normally, I shouldn't have let you take my fight, given that I've already lost an arm?"

Not only were they surprised and doubtful that Hawkeye had taken the initiative to engage in battle, but they were also surprised and doubtful of Hawkeye's keen senses.

His Observation Haki had reached the strongest level in the One Piece world, and even a fleeting glimpse of his fighting spirit would be difficult to detect.

"With your arm gone, you are no match for me."

Hawkeye said matter-of-factly, “I don’t mean a simple swordsmanship contest, but rather that you use your full strength, including the domineering aura that Shanks was so proud of when he became one of the Four Emperors.”

"I will control my four attributes to the same level as yours and defeat you!"
