"Master, there are nearly five thousand contract fruit users and official players who have completed contracts."
Onboard the merchant ship named [Reincarnation Game],
Ah Fu sensed the pirates gathering around the Trial Tower and was surprised that there were more than he had imagined.
Moreover, the overall essence contained within these individuals was slightly stronger than that of the Ninja World back then.
"The Pirate World is never short of people chasing power."
Fang Yi could also sense that,
During his time at Baratie Restaurant, hundreds of people had already completed contracts and were purchasing destiny items in the Game House according to the prompts.
Among them, Buggy and Luffy consumed the most essence.
Especially Buggy, his pirate spirit of not adhering to contracts, directly thinking of reneging on debts, made him fearless, directly signing a sky-high debt of fifty thousand reward points.
The destiny items he exchanged for were also very powerful.
The core item for the 'Ammunition Expert' profession, [Multiple Magazine], can carry the explosive energy of special bullets, accelerate ammunition manufacturing and loading speed, and enhance ammunition power.
A Lv.15 purple weapon, [Azure Dragon Rifle], can increase bullet rapid-fire speed and provide 15 points of Intelligence attribute.
As well as [Aerial Shot], which allows for brief suspension in the air, and [Frozen Bullet], which can imbue bullets with ice-attribute attacks.
Even in the Celestial World, the current Buggy would be considered a barely passing marksman.
Fang Yi thought, "Will Buggy's luck decline if he exchanges too much essence?"
Just like Naruto Uzumaki,
Buggy's good luck relied on the essence provided by the Pirate World; if the essence were depleted, it would be hard to imagine if Buggy could still ascend to the Four Emperors throne by relying on his astonishing luck.
The remaining new players all signed essence debts.
They were willing to exchange the ethereal essence for tangible power.
The overall strength of pirates in the East Blue suddenly increased significantly, to the point where they could serve as guard captains in countries in the first half of the Grand Line.
Unfortunately,
The new players' Lv. levels were too low, making them unable to equip some powerful gear, so they could only temporarily store them in their inventory and figure out how to level up first.
"Now, the event is about to begin."
Fang Yi stood up, his figure disappearing within the ship's cabin.
…
East Blue, Trial Tower area.
The black giant tower emitted a solemn aura, isolating all life from approaching.
The Navy attempted to send a Dispatch Gull to investigate; as soon as the Dispatch Gull approached the black giant tower, it seemed to crash into clear lake water, creating faint ripples before disappearing.
The next second, it reappeared on the other side of the black giant tower, outside the range.
At the edge of the black giant tower,
"Black Crow Pirates, I didn't expect to meet you. It's time to settle the matter of you damaging my pirate ship's mast last time."
"Die! Behold my Burning Wood Blade Art!"
"Fivefold Smog Palm!"
Two pirate ships erupted in fierce conflict,
Both captains were contractors, fighting each other with powerful skills rewarded by the Reincarnation Game.
During this time,
Such scenes of enemies meeting were common. In the vast East Blue, even if pirates held grudges, it was difficult for them to encounter each other.
However, the mysterious event about to begin had gathered all ambitious pirates, and although they were all trying their best to restrain themselves, there were always pirates or Marines with deep-seated hatred who would clash.
"Colonel Smoker."
Around the warship from Loguetown, pirates deliberately avoided a circle, no one wanting to get too close.
Clearly, they had all heard of the White Hunter's reputation.
"His palm can actually ignite and fight like a weapon."
Tashigi showed a look of surprise,
Both pirate captains fell into the sea, but their abilities were unaffected, indicating that neither of them was a Devil Fruit user at all.
Was it the power granted to them by that contract fruit?
Smoker puffed on his cigar, smoke swirling around him, and asked, "What did Navy Headquarters say?"
Normally, he would never allow pirates to loiter in front of him without reacting.
But now, the pirates gathered by the black giant tower and the mysterious event numbered in the thousands of pirate crews.
Although there weren't many pirate crews with bounties in the tens of millions, too many ants could bite an elephant to death. The sheer number of pirate crews with bounties in the millions meant the Loguetown Navy dared not act rashly.
It was easy to stir up a hornet's nest.
Tashigi pushed up her glasses and said, "Navy Headquarters said that a Navy team must be dispatched to participate in the game event, with the entire process recorded via Den Den Mushi."
"They also haven't heard of the existence of a similar Projection Fruit user and hope the East Blue Navy can investigate more details. They are currently discussing."
"Discussing?"
Smoker's face was full of disdain, mixed with a hint of anger, as he cursed, "A mysterious event, gathering tens of thousands of vicious pirates, and they want me to send a Navy team to participate in a game, to die?"
Several warships were equipped with the latest mechanical weapons developed by the great scientist Vegapunk.
They could easily destroy ordinary pirate sailboats.
This was a major reason why the pirates, despite being numerous and disliking the Navy, dared not directly attack.
If he truly obeyed the order and dispatched the Navy to wait for the game event to begin and enter the black giant tower,
It would be difficult to guarantee they wouldn't be chased by a flood of pirates.
Smoker thought for a moment, then said, "Tashigi, give me a contract fruit."
The Loguetown Navy had collected several contract fruits, but none had rashly completed a contract.
Tashigi pulled out a contract fruit, but suddenly reacted, exclaiming, "Eh! Colonel Smoker, do you intend to personally enter the black giant tower?"
She also clearly understood that the situation was very unfavorable for the Navy.
She had wanted to persuade Smoker to abandon the action and not make a meaningless sacrifice, but she never expected the Colonel to actively put himself in danger.
"Being able to gather tens of thousands of pirates, the mysterious figure behind it is a very dangerous existence. This time it's the remote Orange Town in the East Blue…"
"What if next time, the black giant tower appears in Loguetown, or Navy Headquarters?"
He could not stand idly by with such an unstable and dangerous factor.
Smoker took the contract fruit, bit into it, and a light screen suddenly appeared in his vision.
[Contract Mission (1/5)]
Mission Content: Defeat the captain of the Black Crow Pirates.
Mission Reward: Poison Mastery Lv.1 (White)
"Poison?"
Smoker was slightly disdainful.
Although he had captured several contract fruit users and knew that contract rewards could grant special abilities,
These rewards varied in strength; there were weapons that could strengthen the physique, protective gear that enhanced defense, and special skills like those used by the two pirate captains just now during their fight.
In his mind,
Aside from the Chief Warden of Impel Down, whose poison ability came after eating the Poison-Poison Fruit, all other poisons and toxins were underhanded tricks used by low-class pirates.
"It seems my luck isn't good. Oh well, consider it a ticket to enter the black giant tower."
Smoker wasn't interested in the mission reward and indifferently drew the Jitte from his back.
White Smoke Launcher!
His sturdy body suddenly transformed into smoke; in an instant, the impact of the spray sent him to the center of the two pirate crews currently fighting.
White Fang!
The smoke solidified into teeth resembling a wolf's, biting the Black Crow Captain, who had no time to react.
The Black Crow Captain was originally a small pirate with a two million Berry bounty; his strength increased after completing two Contract Missions and receiving Contract Rewards, but he was no match for Smoker at all.
The gap was too wide.
