Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 216 The Indifferent God

He vaguely sensed the key point.

Watching Shanks land on the Moby Dick, he said, "According to the original trajectory of fate, I would have met Shanks in the New World."

But now, I am in the East China Sea.

"Was it your appearance that caused my fate to change?"

When the white-bearded man spoke, he unconsciously addressed Fang Yi with a respectful title.

The capabilities demonstrated by the game developer deserve my respect.

"That's right."

Fang Yi smiled and nodded.

It's so easy to talk to someone who's smart. If it were Straw Hat Luffy, even if he had a lot of inner power, he wouldn't bother with any nonsense.

"To me, the Dead Sea is the same in the past, present, and future."

Fang Yi touched the star symbolizing the white beard again, searching for some exciting fragments, and said, "If I wanted to, everything could be changed."

The image pauses.

It was during the Rocks Pirates era, when Whitebeard followed Rocks in attacking God Valley.

The white-bearded man looked on with a hint of reminiscence.

That battle was truly earth-shattering, encompassing the Pirate King and the high-ranking combat forces of the Marine Headquarters, the Im Imperial Guard, the Knights of God, and the four current Pirate Emperors.

"Mr. Fang Yi..."

The white-bearded man looked astonished.

Suddenly, Fang Yi stretched out his finger and touched the image floating on the river of time, which happened to be a scene of himself fighting against the Knights of God.

The enemy was extremely powerful, and even at his peak, he suffered several very serious injuries in this battle.

He reached out and touched the scars left by the battle on his chest.

suddenly,

The white-bearded man stood frozen in place, a fine layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

He quickly looked down at his chest, where the deep scars that remained even after healing had vanished.

Since going to sea as a child

He remembers every battle, every enemy, and every injury he sustained clearly.

And now, the two most memorable scars on my chest have inexplicably disappeared!

wrong!

It's not inexplicable...

The white-bearded man looked up in horror, staring intently at the game merchant's hand that was touching the stars.

Memories that seemed too distant and forgotten surfaced in my mind.

Back then, in the battle where God Valley was supposed to exchange blows with the members of the Knights of God, a mysterious man suddenly appeared and blocked a blow that could have seriously injured him.

The man's face... gradually overlapped with Fang Yi's in front of him.

"This kind of thing!"

The white-bearded man shook his head, but the more he recalled, the clearer the scene became.

After a while,

He gave up in dejection, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that the World Government underestimated your strength."

Even the strongest forces cannot match the awe-inspiring scene before them.

Destroy the entire street?

Smash a large island?

Sink the Red Earth?

Did they fabricate countless Fish Army headquarters?

Even fear has its limits. Even if a game merchant has the ability to shatter the world with a single punch, it's still within Whitebeard's comprehension.

But like now...

Reversing time and space, touching the past, rewriting the future... what kind of power is this?

Only the legendary gods could probably do that!

"Is this the truth? The world government actually dares to negotiate with you?"

When the game merchant revealed his power to reverse time and space, the previous negotiations and threats from the world government seemed as laughable as an ant brandishing its claws.

Fang Yi didn't respond, but instead steered the conversation back on track, asking, "If you believed that everything in the river of time was predetermined, what would you do?"

"I?"

Whitebeard was surprised that the game merchant would ask him such a question.

After careful consideration, he said in a deep voice, "If I possessed power like yours, I probably wouldn't just wait idly; I would take the initiative to change things."

I'm not someone who can stand being alone.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have formed a pirate crew and found such a lovely family.

As if grasping a crucial point, the white-bearded man's eyes suddenly widened.

"That's right."

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Even with immense power, one would feel bored if surrounded by the unchanging Dead Sea."

"If I had to pinpoint my purpose, it would be to grant you, these lives imprisoned by your original world, the power to change the future."

That's not wrong.

After all, without Fang Yi's intervention, the future fate of these worlds would have been predetermined.

That is being swallowed up by a polluted world.

"Is it like raising my sons?"

Whitebeard thought of similar emotions.

On the Moby Dick, there were many sons who, before meeting him, had been hunted by the Navy and bullied by pirates to the point of desperation.

It wasn't until he unexpectedly encountered himself that he escaped the mire and gained access to a wider world.

"They really do look alike."

Fang Yi nodded and said, "However, I don't have your patience and willingness to actively guide the players' growth."

"I'm simply giving players who believe in the cycle of reincarnation a chance to break free from their shackles."

"Whether they succeed in the future or are swept away by the tide, I will not offer any additional help."

"Fate is in your own hands."

Even the Straw Hat Pirates, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki, who are the original chosen ones with rich origins, are among them.

Even the most fundamental source will one day be exhausted.

The origin contained in the first-order world can at most help them grow to the peak of the first order; their subsequent fate is determined only by themselves.

"Woo la la la la la..."

"Is that so? What a cold-hearted god."

The white-bearded man laughed loudly, undeterred by the game merchant's words. Instead, he declared, "In that case, it's up to this old man, your father, to seize the future for our sons, freeing them from their shackles!"

If you fight for it for yourself

The white-bearded man lacked that drive; having long since lost the ambition to strive for progress, he considered himself a remnant of the old era.

But if it's to protect the Whitebeard Pirates from being eliminated by the times, and to prevent his sons from being bound by shackles.

Even if it costs him his life, Whitebeard is willing to risk it all!

"As the Pirate Emperor, all the islands you completely rule can be exchanged for reward points."

"Islands like Fishman Island, which are merely symbolically protected by the Whitebeard Pirates' reputation, cannot be fully redeemed; only a portion of the reward points can be allocated."

Looking at the energetic white beard, Fang Yi nodded in satisfaction and explained to him.

This is the momentum.

If he can maintain his momentum, the well-established Whitebeard will soon be among the top players.

"I am not willing to exchange those protected islands."

Whitebeard shook his head and said, "Fishman Island is King Neptune's property. Every year, he gives the Whitebeard Pirates countless underwater artifacts, which far exceeds the scope of protection fees."

He has a forthright personality and will take action if he can't stand dirty or unethical dealings.

Therefore, the Whitebeard Pirates protected many islands, and he was able to appropriate a portion of the resources of those islands.

But this approach goes against Whitebeard's principles.

"The treasure that the pirate crew has accumulated over the years should be enough, as well as those islands controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates."

The white-bearded man, who had never been exposed to the game of reincarnation, thought to himself.
