Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 159: The Trial Tower can drop equipment and skills; Treasure Island!

"Armor-piercing shell!"

"Flame Niche!"

The first level of the Trial Tower, at the edge of the Island of Death.

Everywhere there are wandering ghosts.

Bucky shook his flintlock pistol, continuously firing highly penetrating dagger bullets.

Beside him was the first mate, who also possessed the skill, who lashed out with a whip at Lion Ricky.

Leakey's body suddenly grew larger, and his thick mane burst into flames, as if he were wearing a collar of flames, making him look extremely fierce.

The battle scenes on Death Island were broadcast live in their entirety.

Countless pairs of Den Den Mushi (video phone) with snail-like eyes captured every detail and transmitted it to major powers around the world.

Naval Headquarters

A new meeting has started right after the previous one ended.

Vice Admiral Tsuru had already boarded a warship and headed to the East China Sea. The remaining admirals and vice admirals sat upright, observing the images from the video Den Den Mushi.

Sengoku's expression was serious as he said, "I have ordered the East Blue Branch to deploy all two thousand Vision Den Den Mushi to surround the East Blue Trial Tower and do everything in its power to capture all information related to that island."

"What you all need to do is analyze the various strange abilities of the people who landed on the island."

"I have already sent people to the East Sea to search for the contract fruits scattered by the game merchants. After bringing them back, we will select suitable prisoner test subjects to experiment on."

Looking at the various bursts of skills, the admiral was filled with worry.

These skills, like Devil Fruits, can instantly grant the recipient immense power.

Flames, lightning, trees

The problem is that Devil Fruits are extremely rare items.

Although all the Navy Admirals are Logia-type Devil Fruit users, and all the other officers are Devil Fruit users, three of the Four Emperors of the New World are Devil Fruit users, and most of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are also Devil Fruit users.

However, this does not mean that Devil Fruits are common items.

These renowned masters are the cream of the crop among millions of ordinary people, geniuses who have emerged from countless battles and struggles. It is not surprising that they are able to obtain Devil Fruits.

How many such beings exist in the entire ocean?

Therefore, although Devil Fruits can grant people powerful abilities, there are not many of them. They can only cause some minor troubles for the Navy and will not affect the overall situation.

However, the Contract Fruit is different!

According to news from the East China Sea branch, unlike the rare Devil Fruits, game merchants are spreading these Contract Fruits recklessly and without regard for the consequences.

Every day, hundreds of people in the East Sea find these Contract Fruits and gain powerful abilities.

Some slaves, using their skills, killed the captains of ships that transported slaves for the Celestial Dragons, hijacked ships, and escaped to become pirates.

Some commoners rebelled against the oppression of the nobles, using their skills to injure people all over the noble streets.

Sengoku grew increasingly furious, saying, "Those pirates who were already committing arson, murder, and looting, after obtaining the fruit of the contract, went on atrocities everywhere. The navy can still issue bounties and pursue them, but what about those slaves and civilians who were bewitched?"

"They dare to unleash violence against the nobles of member states of the World Government and rebel against the Celestial Dragons. Such incidents are becoming increasingly common. How should our Navy respond?"

He was heartbroken.

Those who were enslaved in the past remained silent, and the oppressed commoners kept quiet, pretending that these things had never happened.

But what should they do when these rotten, dark sides are forcibly torn open and exposed to the navy?

From a young age, he upheld the principle of "ruling the world with justice," which meant perfectly executing the World Government's orders and maintaining the peaceful operation of the pirate world.

Although they pitied the slaves and commoners, they never disobeyed the World Government's orders.

Previously, this conflict was not so acute.

However, the appearance of the Contract Fruit and the Game Merchant caused ordinary people to become restless and unwilling to obey the World Government's orders.

It's all the fault of the game merchants!

It was his ambition and mysterious methods that forced the navy to point their guns at the restless civilians.

It seems that in the future, the means of maintaining world peace will inevitably involve dealing with bloodshed and killing.

"Such a sinner cannot be forgiven!"

The Warring States period uttered these words with deep sorrow and indignation.

at this time,

A sharp-eyed lieutenant general noticed that some changes were taking place on the edge of Death Island, where Bucky Saint, a World Noble who had been placed under close surveillance, was located.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, something's up!"

The lieutenant general pointed to the edge of the screen.

The camera lens of the Den Den Mushi shifted, quickly focusing on the location of Buggy, even clearly showing the look of surprise on his face.

"Go to hell!"

The flintlock musket fired a freezing bullet, freezing a slightly larger wraith before it was smashed to pieces by the fiery lion, Leigh.

A purple halo flowed out.

Bucky rushed over and touched the purple aura, whereupon a strangely shaped rifle fell out.

The deep blue gun body, the exquisite barrel and grip make it look like a work of art made with extremely meticulous craftsmanship.

Compared to this rifle, the flintlock pistol in his hand was practically worthless.

[Inheritance: Water Demon Azure Spirit Rifle], a level 5 purple weapon.

Not only does it grant ice-attribute attack power, it also increases intelligence.

"What a peculiar weapon, it must be like your whip, Mochi."

Bucky couldn't wait to put on the rifle, find the two wraiths, and try firing armor-piercing rounds.

bang bang.

The low, guttural gunshots sounded like the roars of wild beasts.

The power of the two armor-piercing rounds blasted the ghost apart. What would normally require seven or eight armor-piercing rounds to destroy vanished on the spot.

"This is incredible! Is this the weapon from the Reincarnation Game?"

Bucky stared in disbelief, carefully wiping the gun barrel.

If level 5 purple weapons are this powerful, how powerful must the level 15 purple weapon in my inventory be?

Thinking of this, Bucky let out a hearty laugh and shouted, "Men, charge into the depths of Death Island! Equipment, skills, and items will all be mine!"

After the video Den Den Mushi,

A vice admiral, an expert in firearms, looked shocked and said, "The rifle dropped by the pirate Buggy the Great is comparable to even the latest weapons of the Navy's Science Unit."

The world of One Piece is vast.

Some countries and islands remain in a primitive state, while others already possess advanced technology.

With Vegapunk's help, the Navy's standard weapons were upgraded from matchlock guns to flintlock guns in just a few years, and now the Navy's scientific forces are equipped with the most advanced kinetic weapons.

But compared to the rifle in Bucky's hand, it seemed like a toy.

Sengoku frowned and said, "Are you joking, Lieutenant General?"

He is a Devil Fruit user, skilled in naval martial arts and the Buddha Fruit, but not particularly proficient with firearms.

Although it was clear that the rifle that fell from the trial tower was much stronger than the navy's weapons, it was not enough to cause a vice admiral to be shocked.

"I'm not joking, Marshal of the Warring States Period!"

The lieutenant general, an expert in firearms, had a serious expression, and his eyes even revealed eagerness.

He took a deep breath and explained, "If it were simply a kinetic energy weapon, there would be no need to be shocked. With Vegapunk's help, the Navy will soon be able to improve its firearms technology, but..."
