Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 282 Orochimaru Appears

Inside the carriage,

Zoro suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the ice crystal car window, staring intently at the road ahead.

He is a swordsman who uses demonic energy in combat, so he has a strong ability to sense similar energies.

not far away,

An extremely dense energy fluctuation, exuding a chilling and malevolent aura, is rapidly gathering.

"Stop the car! Something's wrong!"

Zoro quickly spoke up to stop him.

But it was too late. The front of the Frost Drill Truck, with its Frost Drill bit that could easily smash rocks, was blocked by a dark shadow.

buzzing.

The white, skeletal hand gripped the center of the drill bit, using brute force to stop the magically enhanced mechanical drill from spinning.

The newcomer was a giant skeleton.

Its enormous body, measuring five meters in height, had purple flames burning within its empty eye sockets.

"Purple Soulfire, this skull is a purple game item."

Robin, with his scholarly experience, could tell the quality of the giant skull at a glance.

Players who possess purple-grade items are no ordinary individuals.

The current stage of the battle,

The standard by which people judge combat strength is based on the amount of reward points consumed and the quality of the items the opponent possesses.

although,

Due to class characteristics and player combat experience, support classes will definitely not be able to beat combat classes, but these are only minor differences.

Under normal circumstances, the more reward points a player consumes, the higher the quality of the items they possess, and the stronger they become.

Players who possess purple items,

They are definitely among the top players, at least in the first tier.

"No, the aura I sense isn't from this skeleton!"

Zoro suddenly roared.

That evil and cold aura was so pure that it even slowed down the ghostly energy within his body.

The intense sense of danger and impending death, as if he were about to be swallowed up, sent chills down his spine.

"I meant no harm, I just wanted to take a ride."

A slightly hoarse voice, yet seemingly possessing some kind of magic, suddenly rang out.

Zoro was on high alert.

Even Nami and the others were baffled as to why Zoro's reaction was so extreme.

With the Straw Hat Pirates' current strength, they could even withstand a top-tier player like one of the three Marine Admirals and escape unscathed.

Especially Luffy,

That's something you can exchange for [Bloodline of Light], which can activate the Ultra Body and allow you to arm wrestle with an Admiral.

In their gaze,

Orochimaru's figure slowly emerged from behind the giant skull.

He didn't deliberately adopt a fighting stance, nor did he release any aura; he simply stood there seemingly harmless.

Zoro, however, had a feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake from the abyss.

"I refuse."

Luffy frowned.

He sensed a very unpleasant aura emanating from the newcomer, which he disliked.

Most importantly, Zoro felt uneasy because of this guy.

Therefore, although the other party's request was not unreasonable, he could not possibly agree to it.

"Is that so? That's a real shame."

Orochimaru looked at Zoro, who was full of vigilance, with great interest.

A player from another world?

The strange spiritual aura emanating from him suggests that he is a profession capable of commanding ghosts and gods in battle.

Is there a knife at his waist?

It also appears to possess superb swordsmanship.

It's truly a rare sight to see someone able to create the husk of a Commander-level Undead Swordsman.

It's intoxicating.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that he was rejected,

Without the slightest anger, he simply smiled indifferently, then stood on the giant skull's shoulder and left.

He left behind a profound statement.

"We'll meet again, my friend."

That word "friend"

It sounds devoid of any warmth, yet it's spoken with utmost seriousness, truly treating the Straw Hat crew as friends.

Or perhaps it's something he'll acquire?

Not just Zoro,

The other crew members in straw hats also felt a chill run down their spines.

Seeing that the other party didn't make a move, Robin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What an evil player. He definitely exchanged for a profession related to the undead, and he's a top-tier player."

"If you get killed in the game, you won't die, but his last words gave me a strange feeling."

The rules of the game merchant must never be violated.

This is an absolute rule, whether you place it in the world of One Piece or Naruto.

Chopper the reindeer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Luckily I won't actually die, otherwise I would have turned around and run away."

Not only Zoro, but Orochimaru also looked at him strangely.

Like seeing materials used for drug research?

That's terrifying.

The frost drilling machine started up, and the mechanical engine roared.

The little reindeer quickly said, "Let's take another route. I don't want to run into that gloomy guy again."

"You're such a coward, Chopper."

Nami covered her mouth and laughed, then turned the Frost Drill Car around and took a detour.

She didn't sense Orochimaru's terror.

As a top-tier necromancer, his methods of concealing his presence were extremely sophisticated.

That is, encountering an unusual team like the Straw Hat Pirates, with a bumbling idiot like Luffy who has super strong intuition, and a sharp-witted swordsman like Zoro who cries out in a demon's cry.

Orochimaru's abnormality would be completely undetectable to a team of ordinary players.

"Demon Slayer!"

The menacing, dark purple sword energy cleaved through the monsters blocking its path.

As they gradually reached the depths of the dangerous area, the monsters around them grew stronger, and a strange energy enveloped the surroundings.

"Nami, look up! The sky is so beautiful!"

Sanji looked up and saw the sky through the open skylight. He immediately turned to the person next to him and said something ingratiatingly.

Upon hearing his call, everyone instinctively looked up.

The azure sky resembled a crystal, with life forms swimming within it, emitting a faint, crystalline glow that spilled onto the earth.

Bathed in the scattered sunlight of the sky,

Even the energy fluctuations within my body felt more active.

Black text appeared before my eyes.

You have entered the dangerous area [Sky Sea]. The monsters in this area are level 20 to 59.

Robin pulled out his notebook and quill, jotting down notes, and exclaimed in amazement, "No wonder there's life activity! The sky above is actually an ocean?"

"Hahahaha, as expected of another world!"

Luffy climbed out of the car window and stood on top of the drilling truck.

Swing your arms,

I stretched out my rubbery arms, wanting to touch the azure sky and sea.

His rubber body, honed over many years, was lost due to the disappearance of the Nika Fruit.

Luffy was very unaccustomed to the sudden loss, but luckily, the items refreshed in the game store made up for his disadvantage.

Now it's the real deal [Rubber Fruit], which allows him to regain his rubber body.

"Idiot, although it's called the Sea of ​​the Sky, it's in the sky. How could you possibly touch it?"

"That castle, you should be able to climb up to the Sky Sea, right?"

Luffy picked his nose.

Pointing to the very center of his vision, he saw a massive column that seemed to merge the sky and the earth.

The words also appeared before my eyes.

Castle in the Sky.
