Chapter 151: Rewards That Shock the Pirate World

Fang Yi looked down from a high vantage point, surveyed his surroundings, and felt very satisfied.

Among these pirates and Navy members, there were some good seedlings with decent Soul Potential.

After all, whether one wants to go out to sea as a pirate or join the Navy, one must possess talent superior to ordinary people; this in itself is a form of screening.

The crowd, having come to their senses, looked toward the heights with eager eyes.

"Is it you, the existence spreading the Contract Fruit?"

"What a terrifying ambition; what exactly is your purpose in doing this?"

There were doubts, and even more, interrogations.

Most pirates and Navy members had not yet come into contact with Fang Yi and were unclear about the weight of the Samsara Game, unlike the existence who had completed a Contract Task without any effort and become a player, having had a brief exchange with the game merchant—Hawkeye.

Hawkeye, having glimpsed a corner of the game merchant's power, was extremely disdainful of the questions from the surrounding pirates and Navy.

Purpose?

Someone capable of casually creating a blade that even the world's greatest Sword Master could not hold, and easily selling powerful Jiangdian that surpassed the entire Pirate World.

If such an existence truly had a purpose, there would be no need to hide it; even the World Government, at the pinnacle of power and strength, could not obstruct them, right?

But Hawkeye did not speak.

Given his personality, he would never warn these cowards who could be scared into a cold sweat by a mere evil ghost and possessed no heart of a powerhouse.

What he cared about was the game event about to begin.

At this moment,

Facing countless Image Den Den Mushi and countless pairs of eyes filled with emotion, the mysterious man standing on the Qiqiang Jita smiled and gave no answer.

Instead, he gently spun the Lucky Roulette beside him.

"Next, after the game event begins, I will draw one lucky player to receive a free chance at the Lucky Roulette."

Fang Yi spoke softly with a smile on his face.

The voice was not loud, yet it seemed to echo in everyone's ears.

What felt most Weird was that as long as one saw Fang Yi's figure, even the audience behind the Image Den Den Mushi looking through screens could clearly hear this sentence.

It had already exceeded the scope of sound propagation.

It was more like a power of the rules.

Just as a Devil Fruit user would be forsaken by the sea, or an albatross could fly into the sky by flapping its wings.

No matter when or where, whether directly or indirectly, seeing the game merchant meant being affected by this game event; this was the rule of this world.

"What a... terrifying ability."

In Alabasta's city of dreams, Rainbase, which was not troubled by drought.

The ambitious Crocodile looked on with wariness, his muscles tense, ready to strike a combat stance at any moment.

Despite being separated by the Red Line and the Image Den Den Mushi, the fact that the voice could echo in his own ears made his hair stand on end with a sense of danger.

"Hehehehehe..."

In Dressrosa, the Heavenly Yaksha, who was inspecting the artificial Zoan fruit factory, suddenly stiffened.

Then, he let out his signature laugh.

The underlings following behind him were silent as cicadas; they knew very well that this was the sound the Heavenly Yaksha made only when he felt offended.

"Is it an extremely special Devil Fruit, like Sugar's?"

Doflamingo twitched the corner of his mouth.

Sugar's Child-Play Fruit, an ability that could turn any living thing into a toy upon contact, was something even he was very wary of; a moment of carelessness and he would be sealed into a lifeless toy, unable to even release Haki.

Stirring up the situation in the entire East Blue—it seems he is also an ambitious person who is unwilling to be ordinary, just like himself.

Killing intent flashed in Doflamingo's eyes, and he thought: "It's just unclear how his strength is; if he interferes with me..."

East Blue, Trial Tower area.

As Fang Yi's voice fell, an invisible ripple seemed to spread out and envelop everyone present, including the audience behind the Image Den Den Mushi.

"Damn it!"

Doflamingo felt that sense of being offended once again.

Extremely arrogant.

The other party seemed to completely ignore the status of the audience behind the Image Den Den Mushi, wantonly releasing their Devil Fruit ability.

"The lucky audience member is..."

The voice rang out.

A feeling of being chosen suddenly surged in Doflamingo's heart.

This feeling had appeared before: when he ate the String-String Fruit, after successfully seizing Dressrosa, and when he reached an agreement with Kaido to become an Emperor of the Underground World...

Every time huge luck and benefits descended, this inexplicable emotion would appear in his heart to a greater or lesser extent.

This time, the emotion that suddenly surged was even stronger than the sum of the past few decades.

Just as this feeling was about to burst in his heart...

The next second, a sense of dullness emerged.

The feeling of a reward that was about to appear being crudely snatched away.

"The lucky audience member is Buggy the Clown!"

Fang Yi said this name with some surprise.

He had already sensed that the Lucky Roulette reward for the start of the event would be obtained by the Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo, but he did not expect that at the last moment, the Pirate World consciousness would spend a huge price to transfer it to Buggy the Clown.

Just like the high luck of Uzumaki Naruto in the ninja world, every trigger would consume the origin of the World Consciousness.

Buggy was no exception.

The Pirate World consciousness had to consume a huge amount of origin and instantly pull Buggy's luck value to the maximum in order to reverse the winning player.

Fang Yi could have stopped it with a wave of his hand, but there was no need.

Because the portion of the origin consumed by the Pirate World Consciousness would ultimately end up in his own pocket.

Who won the prize was unimportant to him.

What mattered was demonstrating the power of the Samsara Game.

A Pillar of light descended within the Trial Tower area, onto the deck of the Buggy pirate ship, exposing the red-nosed, blue-haired Buggy to everyone's sight.

A nobody.

Countless eyes behind the Image Den Den Mushi looked at the Buggy pirate ship with disdain.

Some major powers gathered intelligence very quickly; they soon obtained Buggy's bounty and deduced his approximate strength.

A Pirate with a bounty of just over twenty million might have some fame in the East Blue, but thrown into the Grand Line, such a Pirate wouldn't even count as small fry; they were as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

"This is... Buggy?"

In the New World, on a certain small island.

The Red Hair Pirates were holding a banquet, and the situation in the East Blue within the Image Den Den Mushi was merely a diversion for their party.

Although the strange energy fluctuation that could reach everyone caused some commotion, after sensing no danger, the Red Hair Pirates quickly threw themselves back into the banquet.

Until the lucky viewer was chosen as Buggy,

The one-armed red-haired man opened his drunken eyes, reminiscing with a sense of melancholy, and sighed: "I didn't expect Buggy to still be in the East Blue."

The situation in the East Blue, which he hadn't cared much about before, now caught his slight attention.

"His lucky prize is... Celestial Dragon Bloodline!"

"Pfft!"

The wine Red Hair had just poured into his mouth sprayed out, and he stared at Buggy, who had won the reward, in dumbfounded shock.
