Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 164 The Revolutionary Army Makes its Appearance! They're even here to steal monsters?

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Sengoku stared at the resurrected Buggy, his face grim. "That bastard Smoker, did he even listen to my orders? He actually caused Lord Buggy's death in battle!"

"In the strange trial tower of the game merchant, you can be resurrected even if you die, it's okay."

Aokiji had already removed his blindfold, his eyes constantly scanning the image Den Den Mushi.

Those pirates frantically vying for the treasure, those branch marines who gathered together to fight against the pirates, and those civilians who, despite being the weakest, were still struggling desperately.

All the images were reflected in his eyes behind his glasses.

"It's not about whether or not someone can be resurrected; it's about dignity, honor, and the face of the world's nobility!"

Sengoku angrily slammed his fist on the table, smashing the corner of it to pieces.

Soon, naval personnel carried in a new conference table, replacing what was now an unknown number of damaged tables.

Aokiji nodded lazily and said, "Is that so?"

Beside him, Kizaru pouted and said in a strange tone, "Still so lazy. As a Marine Admiral, shouldn't you be thinking more about capturing pirates?"

Aokiji said speechlessly, "I don't need you to worry about me, but I just don't want you to question my work attitude."

"Give me the order to strip Smoker of his rank of colonel and demote him to a regular naval officer."

"And that pirate with the straw hat, who dared to beat up a Celestial Dragon, has a bounty of fifty million."

"Especially that last orange-haired woman, with a bounty of 80 million Berries, the Orange Devil!"

Sengoku frowned as he announced the decision regarding Smoker and the Straw Hat Pirates.

That should satisfy the Five Elders.

Aokiji changed his posture and leaned back in his seat.

Is this the justice of the Five Elders?

Without investigation, it is unclear how much harm the Straw Hat Pirates pose to civilians, yet they have a bounty of hundreds of millions simply for beating up a Celestial Dragon.

This reminded him of the Ohara incident he had been involved in.

A group of scholars who violated the laws of the World Government were wiped out by the Buster Call, and his friend Saul fought desperately to stop the demon child he had released.

Is it also a form of justice?

Aokiji was confused.

Despite his seemingly lazy appearance, his eyes were fixed intently on the images playing on countless video Den Den Mushi (snail phone blocks).

He had a strange feeling that he might find the answer to his own confusion about justice in these pirates, marines, civilians, and even the game merchants who were stirring up trouble.

"Hmph hmph hmph. Is this the place?"

Doflamingo, suspended in mid-air by a thread, carefully examined the pitch-black tower.

If you step into a certain area of ​​the giant tower, will your Devil Fruit powers disappear?

boom.

A white line popped out.

It precisely pierced through a pirate ship and dragged him over.

The pointed shoes made a crisp sound as they landed.

"This ship is now under my command."

"asshole."

Puff puff.

The high-speed projectile, like a gunshot, pierced through the pirates' bones, and the momentum carried them tumbling into the sea.

Previously, Doflamingo had killed a pirate and stolen the Contract Fruit from him, thus gaining the qualification to enter the Trial Tower.

He wants to personally go into the Trial Tower to verify the authenticity of the Celestial Dragon bloodline!

Despite the clear view that countless pairs of visual Den Den Mushi were watching every move within the Trial Tower area, he remained utterly unrestrained.

The pirate ship pushed through the waves and landed on the edge of the island of death.

A group of pirates suddenly attacked.

"Another big fish has taken the bait."

"Being targeted by our gang of thieves is your bad luck. You'd better trade me your valuables right now, or we'll kill you until you don't even have the chance to be resurrected."

The leader of the thieves sneered repeatedly.

They were a gang of thieves from the Kingdom of Goa. After landing on Death Island, they found that they had no way to snatch the Corrupted Monster from the vicious pirates and the powerful navy. So they came up with a brilliant idea: to block the edge of Death Island and hunt down the new players who would subsequently arrive.

Most of these players are newbies who haven't even finished their contract quests, yet they already possess a beginner's piece of equipment or a skill, making them very easy to deal with.

They staked out the area for four days.

They made a fortune.

"Something valuable?"

Doflamingo looked at the players in the thief group, a smirk playing on his lips, and then burst into laughter.

Since becoming the Emperor of Dressrosa, being recruited by the Navy as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and cooperating with Kaido to become the Black Emperor of the underworld, it has been a long time since anyone dared to say such stupid things in front of him.

It had been rumored for a while that all the pirates with slightly stronger fighting power in the East Blue had been captured by the Navy hero Garp, and even news about the Grand Line had been blocked.

That's really laughable.

"If I had to pick the most valuable thing, it would probably be my head, wouldn't it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just kill him twice and he'll behave!"

The bandit leader struck first, unleashing a sword aura that only a master swordsman could produce.

This is the contract skill he obtained, and it is extremely powerful.

"So this is a skill? It's truly terrifying. Not only can I not use the String-String Fruit, but it even affects my Haki."

"Hehehe, I'm getting more and more excited about the rewards of having Celestial Dragon blood."

Doflamingo slightly turned his body to dodge the sword energy, and then suddenly swung his right fist forward.

Next second,

Suddenly, a layer of intricate mechanical armor appeared on his right arm, and scorching flames erupted, turning the spot where the thieves stood into a sea of ​​fire.

This is the skill [Fire Cloud Arm] that he was rewarded with after completing the contract fruit mission.

The puppeteer, a master of mechanical arts from a world of ghosts and monsters, can create all sorts of bizarre puppets, and can even merge with them to unleash superhuman power.

"It's only level 5, but its power is almost close to the Five-Colored Threads that I've been cultivating for many years. It's truly amazing."

Doflamingo withdrew his arm, watching the gradually disappearing fiery cloud armor with great interest.

This new ability, called Mechanical Art, seems to be a perfect match for his String-String Fruit.

"Only by leveling up in the game can you continue to get stronger? How interesting."

Doflamingo lifted his pointed shoes and walked deeper into the island of death.

the other side,

At the landing point guarded by the navy, pirates on several pirate ships have been captured, chained up, and taken to warships docked at the shore.

These pirates and civilians who followed, just as the bandit group said, only possessed one skill or a piece of beginner equipment, and were no match for these marines at all.

"Good, keep it up like this, and don't let any more new players land on the island."

They are from the 8th Naval Division.

Having received a personal order from Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters, the number of new players landing on Death Island must be reduced.

The obese Nelson Roy, with a long, narrow mustache, was gently crushed in his hand.

His small eyes kept darting around, and inside the warship, where the Den Den Mushi couldn't see, he looted the valuables from the detained pirates and civilians, selling them to the Samsara Game.

Dozens of beginner gear items, along with the Beli they could control, were sold for hundreds of reward points.

Although he didn't earn much, it was all his own, and he used it all to upgrade his skills.

"Once I've accumulated enough reward points, I'll sell them all at once. That's tens of millions of Berries, enough to buy those vampires in the Marine Headquarters a better position."

Although Roy is a branch admiral, he dreams of returning to the Grand Line.

The East China Sea was poor and weak, with no chance of getting rich.

"Reporting to the Admiral, a ship has been spotted approaching!"

"Stop them!"

Roy's eyes lit up when he saw the merchant ship approaching.

Pirates are all poor bastards, but these merchant ships are full of nobles and merchants, who can at least squeeze millions of Berries out of them.

At the top of the pitch-black tower, Fang Yi, who had already returned to the game room, suddenly focused his gaze on the edge of Death Island.

"Unexpectedly, someone who always develops cautiously and avoids being noticed by the Navy has actually shown up on his own initiative."

In Fang Yi's line of sight, a man wearing a dark green coat, with a serious expression and a red square tattoo on his left cheek, stood on the deck of a merchant ship, about to dock.

Afu asked in confusion, "Who is he?"

"The leader of the Revolutionary Army, a man who attempts to shake the world government and navy with his own power."

"impossible."

Without a second thought, Afu said, "Based on my perception, there are at least several combatants within the World Government whose strength has reached the peak of the first tier, plus the help of the admirals of the Marine Headquarters. Even if all the Four Emperors and pirates were combined, they would barely be on par."

"With the overall strength of the Revolutionary Army, it is simply impossible for them to shake the World Government."

This was the most rational judgment she made.

Fang Yi laughed and said, "Some things, some people, are things that you know you can't go against, but you still insist on doing them anyway."

"These people often unleash tremendous power that is unimaginable to ordinary people, and they can inspire new people like a spark, igniting new forces."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of power Monkey D. Dragon, known as the world's most notorious criminal, will be able to gain from the Reincarnation Game."

On the edge of Death Island

The merchant ship has slowly docked.

The naval admiral, writhing his obese body and glaring angrily, declared, "I am the admiral of the Eighth Naval Division of the East China Sea, ordered to guard this island and strictly forbid anyone from landing!"

Countless flintlock muskets were raised, their dark muzzles aimed at the merchant ship.

These flintlock muskets are the most basic new handguns. Although they are very cheap to exchange and have no special abilities, they can still be quite lethal when fired with dozens of bullets.

Long raised his head, his face expressionless as he swept over the navy, his eyes showing no fear. He simply said, "I'm very sorry, but we have a reason to land on the island."

"shot!"

The naval admiral sneered.

They don't even take me, the pirate admiral, seriously. They won't let these new players suffer or spend millions of Berries on revival fees.

Bang bang bang.

Black smoke billowed from the flintlock musket's port, and countless bullets hurtled toward the figures on the deck.

Ivankov, with his purple curly hair, suddenly leaped into the air, and a huge golden shield appeared in front of him, blocking all the bullets.

Holy Light Shield.

Holy Light magic originates from the magical world. Magicians who master Holy Light magic not only possess the ability to suppress evil spirits, but also have very powerful healing and amplification abilities.

"How is that possible?"

The naval admiral was dumbfounded. How could the new player's skills be so powerful?

"I'm sorry, but my Holy Light Shield has a +13 defense attribute. Ordinary flintlock muskets can't penetrate my shield."

Ivankov winked seductively.

The combination of black, spiky eye makeup and a rough voice makes one feel nauseous.

"By the way, Dragon, could you buy me some Enlightenment Pills? I want to max out my defense stats."

"Sorry, the Revolutionary Army is short of funds. That slight defensive gap can be made up for after skill upgrades, right?"

"But I'm a perfectionist and don't want any flaws."

"Then figure it out yourself."

With his legs slightly bent, Long jumped directly into the navy's encirclement, facing dozens of dark gun barrels, and swung his arms.

A layer of fine, emerald-green scales grew from the skin of his arm.

In the blink of an eye, his arms transformed into something resembling animal claws.

He could even manipulate airflow when he waved his hand, blowing away all the navy soldiers surrounding him.

"Wow, so powerful! No wonder you're the leader!"

Ivankov looked on with envy.

This is the item of destiny that the dragon chose from the game shop: a bloodline [Low-grade Wind Dragon Bloodline] that carries a six-figure debt in reward points.

Dragons are terrifying creatures in a certain high-level magical world, capable of easily destroying a continent.

The Wind Dragon is a powerful dragon that controls the wind element, possessing the most profound wind element magic, and its breath is like a storm.

The revolutionary leader, whose blood flows with the blood of the wind dragon, possesses only a low-level bloodline, yet he already has the ability to transform a part of his body into a dragon, as well as several powerful wind elemental spells.

Compared to Ivankov's own holy light magic, it was like heaven and earth.

The naval admiral's face darkened as he asked, "Are you a player who has completed all contract missions and purchased Destiny items?"

This intelligence is shared among navies.

Players who complete all contracts can enter the game room to purchase Destiny items, which are very expensive, with the cheapest starting at tens of dollars.

Those who manage to acquire the items of destiny are also far more powerful than ordinary players.

"Let's work together and take them down!"

The naval admiral grinned maliciously.

Even so, these guys who have just landed on Death Island and haven't leveled up yet are at a disadvantage in terms of level.

Furthermore, naval players have a numerical advantage and can overwhelm them.

Catch these people and make them hand over their "destiny commodities"!

The naval admiral was thinking to himself.

"Wind Dragon Claw!"

The dragon had no intention of wasting any time. With a flick of its emerald green claws, a huge and complex magic circle appeared in front of it.

Two dragon claws, formed entirely from magical whirlwinds, slammed fiercely into the ground.

Boom!

Two craters several meters deep appeared, with spiderweb-like cracks extending continuously, and dust flying everywhere.

The navy was defeated in one blow and was put into a state of resurrection.

Even the naval admiral didn't have time to unleash his prized skill before he too turned into a white halo.

"This trial tower may be the revolutionary army's hope for a comeback."

Inside the merchant ship, young-looking figures emerged one after another and landed on Death Island.

They were all newcomers who had just joined the revolutionary army. They had once been slaves enslaved by the nobles of the East Sea, and under the leadership of the dragon, they overturned the nobles' mansions and streets.

Reborn from blood and flames, branded with the mark of the revolutionary army, erasing the mark of former slaves.

"Dragon, a high-ranking officer in the Navy Headquarters, doesn't seem to trust game merchants. Are we really going to put ourselves in this risk?"

Ivankov looked worried.

The sudden appearance of game merchants has attracted the attention of all the major powers in the One Piece world, but not many are actually willing to get involved.

The Four Emperors of the Sea have remained silent.

The Five Elders did not show up.

No one in the Navy with the rank of vice admiral or higher was involved.

Everyone was afraid that the game merchant had ulterior motives, fearing that the game merchant was someone with special fruit abilities who could control the players entering the Trial Tower.

In this situation, it was extremely irrational for Long, as the leader of the revolutionary army, to personally intervene.

"I mean, you can let me scout ahead first, and then you can go up after you've confirmed it's safe."

Ivankov added.

Monkey D. Dragon is the hope and spiritual pillar of the entire Revolutionary Army; he must not be lost.

"If I did that, how would I be any different from the Navy?"

Dragon slowly stepped forward, his face expressionless, and said, "I'm not special. Even if I die, a new leader of the Revolutionary Army will appear. Sabo is quite good, hahahaha, I have high hopes for him."

"What we need to do is overthrow the absurd world constructed by the World Government, not become the new Celestial Dragons."

Although he was the leader who created the revolutionary army, he did not consider himself special.

The world of One Piece is never short of rebellious lives; everyone can become the leader of the Revolutionary Army. What you need to do is create a better environment for the Revolutionary Army as much as possible.

A mysterious game merchant, a magical trial tower, and a dazzling array of skills.

You absolutely can't miss it.

Dragon had a premonition that if they could seize this opportunity, the revolutionary army might be able to undergo a dramatic transformation.

"They're the revolutionary army!"

Sengoku's eyes widened, and he quickly picked up the Den Den Mushi and issued an order: "The world's most dangerous criminal has appeared on Death Island. All naval forces stationed on the island's edge, assemble in the southwest corner and do everything in your power to capture the Revolutionary Army leader."

Unexpectedly, they caught a big fish.

Compared to the countless pirates scattered across the seas, these inconspicuous revolutionary armies are the real threat to the World Government.

Even a white-bearded man dares to carve out territory and establish his own domain in the New World.

Even powerful figures like Shanks and Big Mom have never offended the World Government or the Celestial Dragons.

But it was precisely these revolutionary forces that openly challenged the world government, intending to overthrow the world's aristocracy.

The Marine Headquarters can tolerate some pirates, and even recruit legitimate pirates like the Seven Warlords of the Sea when it is short of manpower, but it will never tolerate an organization that wants to overthrow the World Government.

All along,

The revolutionary army appeared and disappeared mysteriously, roaming the four seas and the Grand Line, inciting slaves and commoners to rebel against the nobles and causing chaos.

By the time the navy arrived, the daylily was already too cold.

This time they finally got caught.

Sengoku excitedly spoke into the Den Den Mushi: "All Marines, mobilize! Marines who haven't touched the Contract Fruit, stand ready outside the Trial Tower! Marines on Death Island, activate your weapons and begin the encirclement!"

"Have these wicked bastards lost their minds?"

Akainu raised his head and looked at the Revolutionary Army troops exposed to the public eye in the video.

Steam rose from his mouth as he spoke: "These parasites who stir up wars everywhere, tarnish the reputation of the World Government, and oppose the Navy should be cleaned up."

"Prepare a boat for me!"

"Sakazuki?"

"I'm going to the East China Sea to personally deal with these parasites of the world."

Akainu placed his hands on the table, slowly rose, and walked out of the meeting room.

The Warring States period was marked by a furrowed brow.

These bastards really don't listen to orders; they do whatever they want.

However, it is only natural to send a naval admiral to capture the revolutionary army, and Sakazuki has done what he wanted this time, so there is no need to stop him.

However, in my mind, Borsalino would be a better choice.

His Devil Fruit ability allows him to travel to the East Blue at a much faster speed.

The Warring States period turned its head away.

Seeing Kizaru stroking his messy stubble, crossing his legs, and staring at the Revolutionary Army's Dragon on the screen with a look of utter arrogance, I noticed...

Forget it, Sakazuki is more reliable.

Deep within the island of death.

Everywhere there were mass graves, flickering ghostly flames, and paper money scattered everywhere, amidst densely packed buildings.

All four sides are covered by ancient buildings.

Vermilion gates, gray stone floors, bright red lanterns hanging high, and mournful, plaintive sounds constantly emanating from these grand courtyards.

If we're talking about the outer perimeter, it's merely a place with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

Deep within the island of death, it's as if you've entered an ancient ghost town.

"Even the dead cannot stop my swordsmanship."

Eagle Eyes had a sharp gaze and stepped into a courtyard with red candles and lanterns lit in front of the door.

Soon, blinding sword energy and the wails of the red-clad ghost burst forth from the high wall.

His current level is [11].

The surrounding spirits are all around level 9-13, which is intentional on the part of the game merchants, so that players can continuously increase their level by going deeper into the island.

The sword seed inside Hawkeye consumed most of the reward points he earned from hunting corrupted monsters.

Unlike other players who choose to upgrade several skills together or think about matching various equipment and jewelry.

For Hawkeye, a decent set of equipment, a weapon, and a sword type that can continuously condense sword energy are enough.

His [Sword Type] has been upgraded to Lv.10.

Two entries are attached.

Level 5 stat: Sword Aura +18.

Level 10 stat: Sword Aura +43.

Now, every time Hawkeye swings his sword, it unleashes a terrifying sword aura of emerald green light.

Burning with emerald green flames, it can not only destroy the body, but also scorch the soul.

hum.

The red-clad ghosts, scattered by the sword energy, dissipated, and a burst of purple light erupted.

Was it dropped?

Hawkeye walked over skillfully and picked up the purple halo.

The purple light faded, revealing a pitted, purplish-red stone inside.

A whetstone?!

Even the mentally strong Hawkeye couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He hunted over a dozen red-clad ghosts and obtained some whetstones, but most of them were green or blue.

A black knife of purple quality requires a purple whetstone.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Hawkeye took a deep breath, picked up the purple whetstone, and gently placed it on the black knife.

[Successfully consumed [Whetstone (Purple)], weapon sharpness +1]

A sharp glint flashed across the black blade, as if it could blind anyone who looked directly at it.

Hahahahaha

Hawkeye, unusually, disregarded etiquette and burst into laughter.

Inside the game room, Fang Yi shook his head repeatedly, thinking, "If a whetstone can make him this happy, what will happen when the One Piece world catches up with the Ninja World and opens up the enhancement system? Won't Hawkeye go crazy?"
