Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

Kaido asked, "Do you have a Contract Fruit?"

Nami quickly shook her head and said, "The game merchant will keep distributing Contract Fruits, just like Devil Fruits. You need luck to get them."

"Then take me to see one of the larger towns nearby."

Kaido climbed aboard the Going Merry and sat on the deck.

The two were dragged onto the boat in shackles. Although they were unwilling, they could only silently set sail.

Whoosh whoosh.

Soon, Kaido began to fall into a deep sleep.

The two tried to break free of their shackles, but found it impossible; the slightest movement would bring Kaido back to his senses.

Sailing all the way,

Kaido recklessly destroyed all the pirate ships and naval warships he saw, capturing everyone and taking them aboard the Going Merry.

Among them are gamers and ordinary people.

"You are all my collection. Fight to your heart's content, and then the true strongman will be chosen. Even the selection of the top spot can be changed!"

Kaido is that kind of crazy guy.

They don't care about loyalty at all; it's a complete jungle law. As long as they have someone in charge, they have countless ways to make newly joined pirates loyal.

The explosive collars were placed around Zoro and Nami's necks.

It's hard to imagine that Kaido would even bring these things with him when he goes out.

He grinned cruelly, sat atop the highest point of the deck, looking down at the imprisoned men, and said, "As for the losers?"

He casually tossed out an explosive collar.

Boom.

The sea surface was blasted into craters; if it had been blasted directly at the neck, no one would have survived.

"You two are my favorite kids. You'll be paired up and must fight every round, resisting all their attacks!"

Kaido laughed maliciously.

Although he was burly, he wasn't a brainless fool, and the fact that the two planned to escape couldn't be kept secret.

Since they are unwilling to join Kaido's army, they can only accept their own punishment.

He learned this trick from that kid Quinn. He heard that Quinn often played this game with the slaves in the mines, and most of the slaves would completely submit after a few rounds.

Let's see how many rounds these two guys can last.

"Are you kidding me, Boss Kaido? How could we possibly defeat so many people?"

Nami looked around and swallowed.

Many of these people are players, and there are also pirates with tens of millions of followers who have come from the Grand Line in search of the Contract Fruit.

One-on-one battles are fine.

She believed in her and Zoro's strength, but only if they attacked together, and there was a restriction that they couldn't be knocked out of the ring.

They simply couldn't endure such a level of difficulty for long.

"If you win, you'll be the true fighting force of the Beasts Pirates; if you lose..."

Kaido didn't continue speaking.

The exploding collar already foreshadowed the outcome.

the other side,

Usopp and Luffy slowly woke up in Syrup Village.

Sanji, who was guarding him from the side, showed no sign of improvement in his anxious expression.

Upon learning that Zoro and Nami had been captured by Kaido, Luffy forced himself to stand up and said, "I'm going to find Kaido and rescue Nami and Zoro!"

"We can't beat Kaido."

"I don't care, I'm going to defeat Kaido and rescue Nami and Zoro!"

boom!

He punched Luffy hard in the cheek.

Sanji clenched his fists, frowned as he looked at Luffy, and said, "What's going on, Luffy? Don't tell me you didn't notice. You're acting really strange!"

The Luffy of the past, though seemingly silly as he is now, was actually very intelligent inside.

Or perhaps it's a combination of roughness and meticulousness?

They enjoy adventure, yearn for freedom, have the courage and confidence to realize their dreams, dislike listening to stories, dislike lecturing others, and are not easily disturbed by external factors.

They would run away when faced with a large number of naval forces, and back down when faced with a powerful enemy they couldn't defeat. At the very least, they would think of a strategy instead of recklessly charging in.

This is why they are willing to follow Luffy and become members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"I...I don't know!"

Luffy got beaten up and shook his head blankly.

Chapter 253 Luffy's Free Will, Zoro is Going to Die?

Although Luffy is oblivious

He could sense the difference, but he was too clumsy to express it.

It's like arguing about "One Piece" at a banquet.

Even Luffy himself doesn't understand why he suddenly became so obsessed with the title of Pirate King.

He wanted to be the freest person on this sea.

Only the freest person can be the Pirate King.

But clinging to the title of Pirate King, he was not free at all at that moment!

How could this happen to me?

Luffy scratched his head.

I always feel like someone in my head is telling me that I have to become the Pirate King.

Sanji, smoking a cigarette, said, "I've heard that Zoan-type Devil Fruits contain the will of an animal, and if the mind is weak, it can interfere with the user's emotions."

"But you must have eaten a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, right?"

He is the third son of the Vinsmoke family and a genetically modified human.

It's not surprising that the clan members, who were familiar with knowledge about bloodline factors, knew about the secrets of animal fruits.

However, since none of the Straw Hat Pirates have Zoan Devil Fruit users, he has never mentioned it.

Sanji's eyebrows furrowed, unable to figure out why.

Luffy scratched his head and suddenly said, "I ate a Zoan Devil Fruit."

"what?!"

Sanji was stunned and asked, "Didn't you eat the Gum-Gum Fruit?"

Luffy has always displayed the properties of rubber, with his stretchable limbs and rubber body that is impervious to blunt force.

Now you're suddenly telling me you're a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user?

"That's right, the game panel told me that."

On Luffy's game panel, it is marked that the original name of the Gum-Gum Fruit is...

Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Nika form.

Sanji's lips twitched, and he grabbed Luffy by the collar, angrily saying, "Why didn't you tell me such important news sooner?"

"Is it important?"

Luffy looked completely innocent; he really hadn't realized how important this message was.

In fact, the fact that the will of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit can interfere with the emotions of its user is very subtle and very few people know about it.

Even those who know about it are mostly skeptical.

Because there are so many people who have eaten Zoan-type Devil Fruits, and their personalities vary greatly, it is impossible to make a comparison to prove it.

Moreover,

Even among Zoan-type Devil Fruits, those capable of interfering with the user's emotions are extremely rare, as most do not possess such a strong will.

"do not know."

Sanji released him dejectedly and sighed, "The most important thing now is to rescue the green-haired girl and Nami, but we have all seen how powerful Kaido is, and we are no match for him."

"Just knock Kaido away!"

"Hey Luffy, didn't I already say that?"

Sanji looked up, about to scold the captain for acting foolishly again, but suddenly stopped.

After making eye contact, they found that Luffy's gaze was very clear and particularly firm.

Luffy took a deep breath and said, "Leave the fight with Kaido to me."

As the protagonist of the One Piece world, even disregarding his destined Devil Fruit, he is still among the top in terms of combat awareness and talent.

Inside the game room,

Fang Yi, who was keeping an eye on the Straw Hat Pirates' situation, said with slight surprise, "Is it because of the belief in saving their comrades that they were not affected by Nika's will for a short time?"

The carefree Luffy only felt unfree, as if he were shackled.

But they didn't realize anything was wrong.

It was the adventurer's declaration and his companions' lack of understanding that made him vaguely feel as if he were being manipulated.

Nika's will also sensed this, and thus became restless.
