Chapter 156: Doflamingo's Stiff Mouth

Everyone,

whether they were pirates, Navy, nobles of the affiliated nations, or the audience behind the Image Den Den Mushi, all had the exact same thought emerge in their minds.

They couldn't help but fix their gazes on the highest point of the Qiqiang Jita.

On that mysterious man who had worn a polite smile from the very beginning.

"Are you joking?"

"If it were some mysterious game merchant, I could accept that a heinous rebel whose background is unknown would dare to make a joke out of a World Noble."

A pirate trembled all over, inexplicable emotions surging forth, and rasped: "But... the Navy are dogs raised by the World Government. It is impossible for them to dare to openly make an issue of World Noble affairs or engage in conspiracies."

What's more, they were doing it under the banner of Marine Headquarters Admiral Sengoku, like Colonel Smoker of the Loguetown Navy.

The possibility of such a slap in the face was near zero.

In other words, it was very likely that the pirate Buggy really was a World Noble!

Everyone stared fixedly at the game merchant atop the Qiqiang Jita, wishing they could discern the truth; could a game reward like 【Celestial Dragon Bloodline】 really rewrite reality?

Is this kind of ability truly something a Devil Fruit can achieve?

Fang Yi looked at the uncertain crowd with great interest and said: "All products in the Samsara Game are absolutely real items. There will be no cutting corners. Please rest assured, players, and feel free to purchase and redeem."

【Celestial Dragon Bloodline】.

It could change things directly from the source of the river of time, adding the existence of the pirate Buggy among the descendants of the 20 kings who formed the World Government eight hundred years ago.

Changing history while being in the future.

When he was in the Ninja World, he had demonstrated this terrifying power of time to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He could do the same now.

His tone was as relaxed as a shopkeeper selling cheap goods in a city on some random island.

Boom.

Like a thunderclap thrown into the sea.

Everyone was shocked beyond measure, and all sorts of complex gazes were focused on the pirate Buggy.

Earlier, when they heard of a reward like 【Celestial Dragon Bloodline】, they had only felt it was ridiculous and laughable.

A World Noble is not just a place of origin; one doesn't become a Celestial Dragon just by meeting conditions or obtaining a permit. They are the descendants of the creators who reside in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, with eight hundred years of heritage, countless records, and evidence to witness their bloodline continuity.

Artificial Devil Fruit Factory,

Doflamingo sat stiffly, motionless. After maintaining this posture for several minutes, he suddenly burst into crazy laughter.

"Hehehehe..."

"Absolutely impossible! It's fake, it's a conspiracy! How could some trashy pirate just become a Celestial Dragon!"

Veins bulged on Doflamingo's forehead, and the glasses shielding his eyes were crooked.

The flamingo cape he usually cherished so much fell to the ground, and he stepped on it fiercely several times.

Inside the Image Den Den Mushi,

it was broadcasting the scene of the East Blue Branch Navy blocking those who attempted to harm the pirate Buggy and his crew.

When Doflamingo heard Smoker personally say that the pirate Buggy was a Celestial Dragon, and saw Smoker holding high the command flag symbolizing Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the string in his mind finally snapped.

He vented his rage, disregarding his image.

The Donquixote Family executive, Trebol, said cautiously: "Doffy, just as you said, how could a trashy pirate be a Celestial Dragon? It must be a Navy conspiracy."

As soon as he said this,

he felt something was wrong. After all, the Donquixote Family was now considered pirates, and Doflamingo was obsessed with returning to the Celestial Dragons; wouldn't saying this imply that Doflamingo was included in the insult?

But Doflamingo never considered himself a pirate; deep down, he believed he was still a Celestial Dragon, so he nodded in agreement: "That's right. These despicable Navy members actually dare to use the reputation of the Celestial Dragons to set up a scheme. Are the Five Elders not going to do anything about it?"

Although he said this, it was just to comfort himself.

Gloomy and dark emotions flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that without the authorization of the Five Elders, no matter how much courage the Fleet Admiral had, he would never dare to use the reputation of World Nobles to capture a pirate.

In other words, the unremarkable pirate Buggy really was a Celestial Dragon!

"Trebol, watch the house well. I'm going out for a while."

Doflamingo dropped this sentence and hurried away from the Artificial Devil Fruit Factory, leaping along using the power of the String-String Fruit, and soon flew out of the island of Dressrosa.

He headed in the direction of the East Blue.

In the East Blue Trial Tower area,

the crowd's emotions shifted from disbelief to shock and bewilderment, and now they stared with envy at the lucky person who had obtained the Lucky Roulette reward.

Buggy the Clown.

A piece of pirate trash with a Navy bounty had actually become a Celestial Dragon, someone they looked up to, simply because he was hit by a reward from the Samsara Game.

"Everyone, relax."

Fang Yi curled his lips and smiled: "What just happened was only an appetizer. Among the many rewards in the Lucky Roulette, it doesn't even count as a main course. The Lucky Roulette encompasses all kinds of rewards, and there will still be opportunities to draw in subsequent game activities."

Products that originally required tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Reward Points had a probability of being drawn.

"How can one spin the Lucky Roulette?"

A noble from an affiliated nation couldn't help but ask.

Nobles like them attended the meetings held by the World Government every four years; no one knew the weight of a World Noble better than they did.

A reward of this level didn't even count as a main course in the mouth of the mysterious game merchant?

What kind of existence was the Samsara Game?

Everyone stared longingly at the Qiqiang Jita, which looked like a giant island. The terrifying monsters on the bottom floor were already exposed to their view.

The once ferocious and terrifying monsters now looked pleasing to the eye.

"The East Blue Trial Tower has nine floors."

Fang Yi smiled and explained to everyone: "Players with qualification must continuously hunt Pollution Monsters from the outer perimeter until they reach the central area. Each floor has a Tower Guardian. Players who kill the Tower Guardian can have one chance to spin the Lucky Roulette."

"The number of lottery draws increases with the tower levels; whoever can kill the Trial Tower's ninth-floor tower guardian lord will be able to perform ten lottery draws at once."

"If luck is on your side, ten lottery draws are enough for anyone to go from an unknown ordinary person to successfully possessing the power of a Marine Admiral or one of the Four Emperors."

The voice spread throughout the Trial Tower area and was transmitted across the world via Image Den Den Mushi.

"That kind of thing..."

Tashigi opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to defend the dignity of the Marine Admirals, but the words that reached her lips were ultimately swallowed back.

Since even the Celestial Dragon Bloodline could be used as a reward, the strength of the Four Emperors and Admirals was, by contrast, not that shocking.

The various foreshadowing in the early stages had already brought the atmosphere to its peak.

Even the most suspicious of ambitious people could not help but immerse themselves in the fantasy, wanting to become the lucky one who succeeds in the hunt.

"Now, the game begins."
