Chapter 143 Arlong Pirates

Two days passed quickly.

Orange Town isn't big, but the Buggy Pirates and Straw Hat Luffy didn't meet there.

Both sides were inclined to avoid each other, not wanting the other to interfere with their plans to complete the contractual mission.

On the open sea, in the shallow waters very close to Orange Town.

Several pirate ships collided with each other, each targeting the other in their contract missions.

A fierce battle broke out.

"Take this! Silver Light Slash!"

A muscular pirate, wielding a novice iron sword that looked like a toothpick, leaped high into the air and landed on the opposite pirate ship.

boom.

The shockwave shattered the pirate ship's deck, sending countless pirates crashing into the cabin.

Inside the cabin were self-destructing robots flashing red lights.

After obtaining the Contract Fruit, the captain of the Blood Axe Pirates discarded his heavy, giant axe and became an expert in manipulating machinery.

The self-destructing robot is his ability after completing the contract mission.

boom.

The Blood Axe pirate ship exploded, sinking into the sea along with its former crew.

He leaped onto the swordsman's pirate ship where he had just unleashed the Silver Light Slash, his gaze chilling as he said, "From now on, I am the captain of this ship. You have no objections, right?"

"captain!"

With the swordsman and captain both killed in the explosion, they naturally obeyed without a second thought of avenging the captain.

More and more pirates are beginning to touch the power of the Reincarnation Game, pursuing contract missions in order to complete them and become permanent Reincarnation Game players.

At this moment,

A huge ship slowly sailed over.

"Who is it?"

Captain Bloodaxe, who had just received his new ship, looked at the somewhat familiar serrated bow.

A tall figure with purple skin and a sharp, jagged nose stood at the bow of the ship, looking at Captain Bloodaxe with a ferocious grin.

"They are... the Arlong Pirates?"

Pirates who live on the edge naturally know the names of some East Blue pirates.

After seeing the skull and crossbones flag clearly and confirming that it was the Arlong Pirates, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

"A dragon...it's a fish-man dragon!"

"Help! Weren't they saying the Arlong Pirates were all in the Oicot Kingdom and wouldn't easily go to sea? How could they be...?"

"It must be because of the Contract Fruit!"

The human pirates were filled with fear, seemingly terrified by the Arlong Pirates.

The entire East China Sea,

Aside from the East Blue Admiral, Golden Armor Krieg, who has already reached the Grand Line, the most famous crew is probably the Arlong Pirates.

The entire crew consists of fish-men, possessing immense strength far exceeding that of ordinary humans, as well as the ability to breathe and fight underwater. Their captain, Arlong, is a notorious pirate with a bounty of twenty million.

The Arlong Pirates don't go to sea often, yet they still manage to leave behind a fearsome reputation because of their brutal fighting methods.

In general, when elite pirates are defeated, they are allowed to live, and the losers are absorbed into the victorious pirate crew.

However, the Arlong Pirates did not follow this pirate rule; they killed all humans without leaving any survivors.

That's why the pirates in the vicinity are so afraid.

"The Arlong Pirates?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Blood Axe's forehead, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Even a murloc would absolutely not be able to withstand my self-destructing pursuer."

He gradually calmed down, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

His contract mission has been completed to the final step; the [RX-78 Chaser] has been upgraded to Lv.3, capable of destroying small pirate ships in an instant.

Fishman?

Skin that dares not be exposed to the sun for long cannot withstand the burning of the explosion's flames.

As the two ships drew closer, the hearts of the human pirates leaped into their throats. They lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look directly at the Arlong Pirates.

"Inferior humans!"

The dragon glanced disdainfully at Captain Bloodaxe and let out a sneer.

Captain Blood Axe's face was icy cold. When the two ships were closest, he jumped onto the railing of the Evil Dragon Pirate Ship and immediately unleashed his skill.

A robot with a red spring-loaded mechanism appeared, its head glowing like a candle with a burning fuse, and lunged at the fish-man dragon standing at the forefront.

boom.

A loud explosion.

But there was no flame; the explosion of flames was completely contained by the dragon's hands. His purple palms were only slightly charred, and otherwise unharmed.

"How is that possible!?"

"How is that impossible?"

The dragon grinned maliciously, then suddenly charged forward like a torpedo, grabbing Captain Bloodaxe by the neck and taunting, "Foolish human, you don't actually think you're the only one who got the reward for the contract mission, do you?"

His arms were gradually covered in a grayish-black color, making them look like hard granite.

【Rock Skin】.

It can provide extremely strong defensive capabilities, even stronger than the iron teeth that the evil dragon is so proud of.

Just started,

The Arlong Pirates didn't even notice these contracts that resembled Devil Fruits. It was only after several riots broke out in the villages they ruled that they came to their attention.

Following the guidance of the contract quest, we arrived at Orange Town in the Organ Islands.

[Task completed, reward issued]

As Captain Bloodaxe's throat was crushed, the dragon also received the reward for the contract quest.

The arms, covered in rocky skin, became even more lustrous.

"There's one last task left. Once you become a player in the Reincarnation Game, even the entire human population of the East Blue will have to submit to the rule of the fish-men!"

puff.

The fish-man officers jumped into the sea, wiped out the pirates who hadn't managed to escape, and continued towards their next mission location, Orange Town.

……

"So strong!"

Zoro, biting the hilt of his sword, uttered indistinct sounds.

The enormous sea king, the king of the near seas, had its head held high as it crashed onto the surface of the sea, splashing up a spray of salty sea rain.

Behind Zoro,

It was a hazy, black phantom, like a cloud of smoke.

The outline of the black phantom could be vaguely discerned, with a ferocious face, looking like a ghost or god crawling out of the underworld.

This is the skill effect of [Ghostly Affinity].

Being close to ghosts and spirits means being close to them and controlling their power.

This is the fourth sea monster he has killed. His Ghost Affinity has been upgraded to Lv.4. He only needs a little more experience and proficiency to break through the bottleneck and allow Ghost Affinity to summon solid ghosts instead of phantoms.

Zoro's spirit, will, and soul are all converging towards the power of the demons and gods.

This power originates from some swordsmen on the continent of Arad who actively summon spirits and gods, and instead of suppressing them, they accept and control them to the greatest extent possible.

"What a powerful demon!"

The wispy smoke behind him dissipated, and Zoro, panting heavily, swam back to shore.

The physical exertion was not great, but the mental shock of summoning the phantom of the ghost and god almost made me, who had never trained my mental strength before, lose myself in it and be unable to extricate myself.

He could sense it.

That phantom was an extremely powerful ghost god, willing to answer the summons because it saw itself as prey.

Zoro showed no fear, but instead revealed a menacing smile, muttering to himself, "Perfect, let's see who gets broken!"
