Chapter 232 Golden Reward, Demon-Locking Tower!

"Mihawk, what an arrogant statement."

Shanks was stunned at first, then gave a bitter smile.

He knew very well that

Hawkeye isn't one to boast, so for him to say that means he genuinely has the confidence to lower his strength and defeat himself.

"I never imagined that this ocean would be so completely transformed in just a few months."

Shanks looked up at the enormous disc, as brilliant as the sun, and at the figure that resembled a god.

Although they had already obtained the Contract Fruit and become players...

However, he never got too involved with the reincarnation game, and he resisted buying those tempting items with his willpower.

Because he didn't want to disrupt the existing order of the ocean.

After all, Straw Hat Luffy has already set sail, and the new era on which he has placed all his hopes is gradually showing its fangs.

At this point, as long as you follow the guidance of fate step by step, everything will turn out well... that's how it should be.

He always remembered Captain Roger's words, or rather, his prophecy.

"Someone who hasn't even been born yet will surpass us in the future!"

This prophetic statement was Captain Roger's last words after witnessing Laugh Tale firsthand.

Kozuki Oden believed this, which is why this chivalrous hero died so hastily in Wano Country.

First mate Rayleigh believed this, so he hid at the crossroads where new stars gathered, waiting for the chosen one.

Whitebeard believed the same thing, so he found Ace and wanted to train him to be the next Pirate King.

some of,

Shanks is the one who believes in this prophecy the most.

Despite possessing both the straw hat symbolizing Joyboy and the Gum-Gum Fruit, he sees himself as a successor of will rather than someone who can usher in a new era because he firmly believes in this prophecy.

So, it wasn't until she unexpectedly heard Luffy's bold words and understood the destined choice of the Gum-Gum Fruit...

Shanks didn't hesitate to bet his arm on the new era.

but now,

The prophecy that filled him with confidence was changed by the arrival of an being, plunging Shanks into confusion once again.

Although unsure of what to do, they arrived in the East Blue on a dazed and instinctive basis. Upon seeing the overwhelming power of the Marine Headquarters, they united everyone to fight against the Marines, solely in order to maintain their former destiny.

Hawkeye suddenly spoke up: "Shanks, if you continue like this, you'll be left behind by the times!"

He has no friends.

Shanks is one of the few rivals and friends who can talk to him and who appreciate each other.

Therefore, he did not want to watch Shanks continue to hesitate until he was completely crushed by the wheels of history and turned into an ant among the crowd.

"Don't say such heavy things!"

Shanks laughed heartily, then said, "Let's see the Navy's prizes first. We're pirates, so if we're interested, we can just snatch them!"

The smiles were infectious, and everyone on the crew started laughing.

Only Hawkeye looked deeply at Shanks and noticed the lingering confusion in the other man.

……

On the deck of the Moby Dick,

All the crew members were furious, waiting for the navy's lottery to end so they could wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"Dad, the Alabasta Clan's crest power as a first-tier family is already astonishing enough. I wonder how strong the Marine Headquarters, a second-tier family, must be?"

Marco looked at the eager crew members with a worried expression.

The world of One Piece is different from the world of ninjas; there are no battlefields with tens of thousands of people on them.

Most of them are battles between pirate crews and marine bases.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates have a total of forty-three pirate crews under their command, they are all scattered across the ocean and rarely gather together.

There are only 1,600 core members, including 16 powerful team leaders.

but,

The upgrades to the family system are terrifying. They don't target individual players but rather boost the entire family. A single family badge can create two hundred individuals with similar abilities.

Although their combat strength is inferior to that of the captains of their own pirate crew, it surpasses that of ordinary crew members.

Based on this alone,

They transformed from a guard team that was at the mercy of Crocodile into a large pirate crew that was extremely terrifying even in the latter half of the Grand Line.

What kind of tremendous improvement should the Navy Headquarters, a second-tier family, undergo?

"Don't worry, with the Red-Haired Pirates and those other pirates eyeing us, even if the Marine Headquarters is strong, they won't have an easy time getting the better of us."

The white-bearded man held the Murakumo-giri sword.

Although he knew that the Marine Headquarters was not easy to deal with, he shared the same opinion as Shanks: if they continued to let the enemy snowball into a major threat, it would definitely become a serious problem.

Of course, the most crucial element is the Crimson Troll's innate abilities.

All injuries will be healed, and as long as the banner of the Whitebeard Pirates stands, his sons will not be harmed.

This is why he has the confidence to fight!

……

"Justice will prevail!"

"The Navy will prevail!"

The roar echoed throughout the East China Sea, was captured by Den Den Mushi, and transmitted to the Five Elders Palace in Marlenejoia.

Nasujiro pushed up his glasses and said expressionlessly, "The Navy has betrayed us."

"Clear?"

Saint Satan, leaning on his cane, said coldly, "To be able to create such a grand display, that brat Sengoku is really something. He must have sold off all the navy's assets?"

"Let's wait and see how things develop."

"Set up the teleportation array first; there's still time!"

"Oh right, Saint Nassuro, please make a trip to the City of Gold and kill De Soro. It's time to take back that gold."

"Didn't that gentleman say that excessive exchange would lead to global catastrophe?"

"Isn't this perfect? ​​Let's clean up some ants that have betrayed the gods."

……

The dazzling golden light finally converged on the pointer.

[Congratulations to the player who has won the gold prize [Tier 1 Shushan Demon-Locking Tower]!]

The light lingered, bathing all the players' faces in gold.

Silence, stillness.

"Gold...gold quality?"

"The Revolutionary Army leader only got a silver-quality magic fortress, while the Navy got incredibly lucky and drew a gold prize!"

"It wasn't just luck; it's only fair that a gold-quality item appeared after five draws..."

The players' gazes shifted from blankness to shock, and then to intense envy.

The cycle game has been around for several months.

Even a pirate like Tenyasha, who could exchange for an entire country, would at most be covered in purple equipment.

Most ordinary players who diligently hunt polluted monsters are considered extremely lucky to be able to collect a full set of blue equipment.

Don't suffer from lack and unevenness.

The fact that the revolutionary army leader drew a silver prize was already enviable enough, but the navy went even further, directly unleashing a burst of golden light.

"The Demon-Sealing Tower?"

The Warring States period at Marineford was already overjoyed, his body also radiating golden light, as if in celebration.

The capabilities of the gold prize are not yet clear.

But the products produced by the Reincarnation Game are still of gold quality, so how could the effect be bad?

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, the latest intelligence from the East Sea."

"Read it quickly!"

The Warring States period scholar spoke with an air of pride, as if he could only win a golden prize because he was radiating golden light.

"The Demon-Sealing Tower of Mount Shu is a structure with extremely powerful sealing and suppression capabilities for evil."

The deputy head of the game intelligence department handed the returned data to the gesticulating Sengoku.

【Shushan Demon-Locking Tower (Tier 1)】
