Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 250 Kaido Arrives Late

Boom!

Like a meteorite crashing to the ground, a huge crater was smashed into the estuary of Xiluobu Village, seawater flooded in, and the entire island shook.

"A tsunami, or an earthquake?"

"Am I seeing things? I just saw a dragon fall to the ground!"

The Merri, which had just left port, had not gone far when it was swept away by the backflow of seawater and crashed into the shore of the island of Silobu.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and the waves surged.

There seemed to be a dark shadow at the bottom of the pit, floating upwards.

"We encountered a natural disaster right after setting sail, and we're soaked to the bone! Unbelievable!"

The Straw Hat Pirates staggered out of the ship's cabin.

The entire cabin was leaking, and Nami was soaking wet, her hair plastered to her fair face.

Further down, water droplets quietly rolled onto the mountain peak, and Sanji couldn't help but have a nosebleed.

"It's not a natural disaster."

Zoro's expression was solemn. He had just clearly seen a dragon shadow fall directly from the depths of the dark clouds and crash heavily into the ground.

Usopp's teeth chattered as he nervously said, "Even if it really is a dragon, falling from that height would be fatal, wouldn't it?"

Steel falling from the sky will turn into iron discs. If this thing were still alive, how strong would its defense be?

They could easily devour the entire village of Xiluobu in one bite.

"Wow, that's great!"

Luffy picked up a dry twig and, as if teasing a caterpillar, squatted at the edge of the pit, probing it with the twig as he laughed loudly, "If it really is a dragon, we can eat dragon meat! The Pirate King gets to eat the biggest piece of meat!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

The edge of the pit began to tremble, and gravel tumbled down.

Suddenly,

A gigantic, ferocious blue dragon head emerged from the water. The entire Merri was smaller than a single scale of this blue dragon, and its outstretched whiskers alone were hundreds of meters long.

Everyone was so frightened that they stood frozen in place.

The current Straw Hat Pirates haven't yet experienced the Marineford War or the Great Battle of Torrent Kingdom.

Although I had seen the battles of top players through the game of reincarnation, this close encounter with a monster comparable to a top player was terrifying just from the aura it exuded.

The hurricane swept across the ocean, causing the surface to churn.

Thick, dark clouds obscured the sky, and flashes of purplish-black lightning rippled across it.

"Has the climate suddenly changed?"

Nami swallowed hard. She had an extremely keen sense of perception and was naturally able to detect changes in the weather.

The sky, which should have been clear, was changed because of the appearance of a creature.

What exactly happened?

"Hey kid, have you ever heard of the game merchant? Tell me where he is!"

The Azure Dragon gradually transformed into human form.

It has two horns on its head, its arms are wrapped with scale-like patterns, and it has a huge gourd for drinking wine at its waist.

As he spoke, he exhaled slightly hot air.

It was Kaido, the captain of the Beasts Pirates, who left Onigashima and headed to the East Blue.

Even though they didn't know Kaido's true identity,

Most people would be terrified at the sight, but Luffy, oblivious to everything, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Yeah?"

Kaido nodded, took a couple of sips from his gourd, and then staggered to his side to leave.

He came to the East Sea to find the game of reincarnation; nothing else could arouse his interest.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zoro's face was solemn.

He now wields the power of ghosts and gods, and his perception is far more acute than that of others.

Kaido exudes a very strong aura. Although he is slightly inferior to top-tier players, it shouldn't be difficult for him to take down the Straw Hat Pirates.

It's best to avoid conflict with such a formidable enemy.

"Wait, kid."

The burly figure, who had already turned away, suddenly stopped, turned to look at the captain wearing a straw hat, and asked, "What did you just say? What kind of king do you want to be?"

To hear such harsh words in a small place like the East China Sea.

What an arrogant brat!

Kaido lowered his gaze, looking at the serious-looking Straw Hat Luffy, and thought he was hallucinating.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

Luffy also looked up at the tall figure looking down at him.

Without hesitation, I repeated what I had just said.

"What a joke! He's obviously this weak!"

An extremely powerful aura erupted, sweeping across the coastline of Xiluobu Village like a hurricane, even stopping the waves in their tracks.

Usopp was knocked unconscious by the shock.

Zoro, Sanji, and Nami felt a sudden heaviness envelop them, as if they were being enveloped by an immense pressure.

Kaido swung his giant spiked club and slammed it down on Luffy, who was standing at the edge of the pit.

"Explosive Heater!"

Nami was the first to act, and a blazing orange-red flame pumpkin popped out of her pocket.

The flaming pumpkin rapidly expanded, enveloped by various mechanical devices, and instantly transformed into a giant heating furnace.

The glowing red-hot flame stones continuously spewed out from the top of the furnace, producing violent explosions.

The water flowing into the sea evaporates the seawater directly.

"Soul-Devouring Demon Slash!"

Zoro lowered his body, drew his sword,

The phantom of a demon condensed and a stream of energy carrying a ferocious demon rushed toward Kaido.

boom.

The giant heating furnace was hit by a huge spiked club, but it did not shatter on the spot; instead, it developed tiny cracks.

Kaido, who was struck by the Soul Eater's Slash, felt a slight burning sensation in his chest.

"This...it has absolutely no domineering aura, how is that possible?"

Kaido lowered his head in disbelief, reaching out to touch his chest.

His skin was intact, without even a breach in his defenses, but a faint ghostly aura lingered around it, as if it were penetrating his proud defenses and directly harming his body.

hum.

Armament Haki enveloped Kaido, turning his chest as black as ink iron.

But the chilling aura of ghostly energy still lingered.

Kaido was greatly shocked and asked in disbelief, "Is this the skill of the Rinne Game? Even Armament Haki can't dispel it?"

He left Wano Country and came to the East Blue to search for the game merchant.

However, he got lost along the way and has only managed to wander to the East China Sea, where he has only seen some exciting clips from the Den Den Mushi.

Only after personally battling this power did I realize that it was truly extraordinary.

"This big guy isn't a gamer!"

After realizing that the [Blazing Furnace] could not harm Kaido at all, Nami quickly stopped the skill and retreated to a safe position.

However, it was also discovered that the other party didn't seem to have much knowledge of gaming skills.

He seemed more like a primitive powerhouse who had never experienced the cycle of reincarnation.

Upon hearing this,

The Straw Hat Pirates all breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, although there is a difference in skill level, players with skills and equipment are generally stronger than non-player experts of the same skill level.

This is the advantage that the cycle of reincarnation brings them.

Even if you can't win, there's still a chance to struggle.

"Interesting. Though weak, they have enough value to become my subordinates!"

Kaido suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

He had long been tired of the dull and boring world, so he committed suicide countless times, deliberately charged into the other four Yonko pirate crews by himself, and provoked the Marine Headquarters, all in order to find fun.

Or they could recruit any pirates they deemed worthy as subordinates.

These guys in front of me are barely acceptable.

"don't want."

Luffy shook his head in refusal, his face serious.

Anyone who attacks his own partner is an enemy. Besides, the freest man on this sea would never serve as someone else's subordinate.

He took a deep breath and said, "I'll hold him off, you guys run!"
