Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 442 Guobei County

"Don't look at me like that, it's disgusting."

Akainu's face was cold, and he made no attempt to hide the disgust in his eyes. He looked at Orochimaru as if he were looking at a plate of snake meat soup.

If it weren't for the Navy Alliance's rich resources and accumulated resurrection coins...

He was indeed killed by the [Death Duel Badge] that Orochimaru pulled out. Such a grudge could not be easily forgotten.

"It's just surprising that the self-proclaimed righteous naval alliance would come after me."

Orochimaru smiled, his purple tear troughs widening slightly, and looked at Akainu, who had come to him on his own initiative, with a very puzzled gaze.

A robust physique; physical fitness should exceed 200 points.

The [Hellfire Master], a melee-type fighter capable of fusing with the Hellfire Demon, could potentially give the Undead Legion a Gold-rank leader if they could kill Akainu.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his chin.

Swish!

A sharp lava spike grazed Orochimaru's cheek, shot out of the Rinnegan's range, and illuminated the black mist behind him.

The menacing dark monster, poised to pounce, is like a hunter crouching outside a glass tank, waiting for the player to peek out.

sizzle.

The Hellfire Spikes were instantly extinguished by the black mist, having only traveled less than five meters.

If this were in the world of One Piece, this spike formed from hellfire lava would be able to destroy at least a small island.

Akainu frowned and said, "I told you, don't look at me with those disgusting eyes. If you're not sincere about cooperating, I don't mind finding other forces in the ninja world."

"I see."

Orochimaru retracted his tongue and asked with interest, "So, Admiral Akainu, how... no, how does the Marine Alliance intend to cooperate?"

Akainu, who hates me to the core, certainly wouldn't take the initiative to contact me; it must be the intention of the Navy Alliance behind the scenes.

Sakazuki said coldly, "The power of the dark monsters is beyond the imagination of the Navy Alliance. I'm afraid even you would be helpless against them."

It was definitely not my intention to come to Orochimaru.

It was the result of a vote by Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Naval Alliance, Chief of Staff Tsuru, and most of the commanders of the four seas.

"The Navy Alliance must be the most upset, right?"

Although Orochimaru is not interested in managing power, he has a keen insight and the ability to do so.

The former Sound Village and the now thriving Fire Empire are examples.

"In the past, the key to the Navy Alliance's ability to continuously hunt bosses was the presence of hundreds or even thousands of elite players."

"Let me think... Magellan, the venomous warden; Fire Mountain, the fiery swordsman; the eight-clawed demon spider..."

He spoke with a smile about the naval alliance's predicament.

It is precisely because of its large number of elite players that the Navy Alliance has been able to occupy the throne of the strongest power.

These players, while not possessing the same "Gold-level" strength as top-tier players, are not significantly different in skill level.

With them all gathered together, and top players like Akainu and Smoker providing support, even Orochimaru wouldn't be able to withstand them.

"However, the Black Myth map has broken the Navy Alliance's monopoly on power."

"Players whose combat power is insufficient are not qualified to climb the second floor of the Tower of Death. Furthermore, even if they manage to gather enough combat power, players without the strength of a Gold-level player are no match for the dark creatures."

This is the most passive reason for the naval alliance now.

The appearance of the black mist that obscures perception makes it impossible for players to gather in large numbers. Otherwise, they would be surrounded by countless dark creatures due to their lack of perception and exploration abilities.

Operating alone is not an advantage for naval alliances.

Akainu, Kizaru, Smoker, Garp the Iron Fist...

The reputation and prestige of the Naval Alliance, when viewed from the perspective of the entire cycle game, can only be ranked at the mid-level of top players.

It's not that the naval alliance lacks depth.

Rather, it's because the commanders of the four seas don't want to see a very strong naval player disrupt the balance.

"That's right."

Akainu made no attempt to conceal anything and agreed with Orochimaru's explanation.

This is indeed the current predicament of the Navy Alliance. Even if they don't admit it, it's useless. Besides, he really doesn't want to cooperate with Orochimaru.

"The Navy Alliance must want to team up with me to hunt the monsters in the black mist?"

Although Orochimaru spoke in a questioning tone, his eyes were filled with certainty.

Each faction has very few top-tier players. For a faction like the Navy Alliance, being able to produce four at once is already considered exceptional, and they are at the mid-level of top-tier players.

In Konoha, only Tsunade, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha can be considered top-tier players.

But rather,

The dark monsters within the black mist are ridiculously powerful; even top-tier players wouldn't be able to fight them alone.

Team up with each other.

Teams like pirate crews and ninja squads, which have fewer players but are extremely powerful, are a quick way to defeat the dark monsters.

If the Navy Alliance could think of it, Orochimaru could certainly figure it out as well.

perhaps,

This was also Mr. Fang Yi's intention, to reduce the players' hatred and prioritize hunting dark monsters.

"to be honest……"

Akainu's gaze fell on Orochimaru, filled with killing intent. He said in a low voice, "Cooperating with an evil guy like you would be a stain on the honor of the Navy. Now it seems you have no intention of cooperating either, so I can go back and report to Sengoku."

Orochimaru's strength is beyond doubt, which is why the Navy Alliance has chosen him as their primary partner.

If Orochimaru refuses, there are other potential partners to contact and communicate with.

Akainu's preferred allies exclude pirates, including Shanks, Whitebeard, and Charlotte Linlin; he's afraid he might just punch them and kill them.

"I agree."

Even though Orochimaru saw through the fact that the naval alliance would gain greater benefits from cooperation, he still agreed.

After all, given his usual style, apart from powerful forces like the Navy Alliance that check and balance each other and would abandon the rhetoric of evil and justice, it would be difficult for other forces to be willing to cooperate with him.

"snort……"

After reaching an agreement, Akainu was not as happy as he had expected.

Marshal Sengoku and Staff Officer Tsuru were very excited and laughed, "Orochimaru, a lone wolf, may seem evil, but he is actually the most stable teammate."

The Fire Empire of the ninja world is isolated by all other forces.

No matter how strong Orochimaru is, he can't find a partner. The Navy Alliance is willing to take the initiative to extend an olive branch. Until the other party can find a better partner, such a teammate relationship is the most stable, and the risk of being stabbed in the back can be minimized.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Staff Officer Tsuru were not fools. They were able to become the strategists of the Navy Alliance because they had done thorough research and knew Orochimaru's current situation before daring to cooperate with him.

"So, the only sincerity I can offer is myself. What about the Navy Alliance?"

Orochimaru unleashed his aura, a terrifying pressure of [Second Tier] Gold level enveloped Sakazuki.

One's sincerity is the strength of the strongest player in the cycle of reincarnation.

If the Navy Alliance wants to cooperate with me, they should probably bring corresponding sincerity. Is it giving up some of the game items dropped by the boss, or... intelligence?

Akainu said calmly, "The intelligence department's scout players have discovered a dark monster boss a few hundred meters west of the Reincarnation Shrine, a town that has been reduced to ruins [Guobei County]."

The scouts of the Naval Intelligence Department are all elite players with an agility attribute exceeding 150. They spend a lot of money every day to explore the map filled with black mist and find clues about the boss.

"Guobei County?"
