Chapter 163: Celestial Dragon Brutally Beaten on Live Stream!

~14 min read 2,642 words

The seven-day hunting battle allowed the majority of players to reach level 【7】.

A full twenty thousand players.

The majority were Pirates, accounting for nearly ten thousand in number.

These Pirates were numerous to begin with, and they rode pirate ships, galloping across the East Blue to burn, kill, and loot everywhere; they had the highest probability of finding Contract Fruits floating along the ocean currents.

Next were the civilians and a small number of Nobles who accidentally found Contract Fruits, numbering roughly several thousand.

And finally, there were the Navy forces.

Through the continuous searching by the East Blue Branch, they found over three thousand Contract Fruits, becoming the most powerful force within the Trial Tower.

Although those Pirates were very numerous, they were all fighting on their own.

They were simply no match for the Navy forces.

The situation on the entire Death Island had begun to shift from chaotic, scattered battles toward the center of the island, starting to be taken over by the Navy forces.

"Get lost!"

Smoker's eyes were fierce as he looked toward a somewhat unfamiliar pirate crew.

Not far away was a lone Red-Clad Specter.

"You Navy are too overbearing. This Death Island is the territory of the game merchant; does the Navy want to govern this too?"

The one speaking was a woman with a fat physique, holding a Wolf Tooth Club.

Alvida, who had been defeated by Koby back then, had made a comeback; after becoming a Contract player, her combat power had increased tremendously.

Otherwise, she would not have dared to challenge the infamous White Hunter Smoker.

Of course, the most critical point was that one would not truly die after dying inside the Trial Tower, so Smoker could do nothing to her.

"Boss, should we make a move?"

Beside her, a lackey asked.

Alvida's mouth twitched, and the freckles on her face trembled incessantly; if not for the concern that the Navy was present, she would have really wanted to club the lackey who spoke to death with her Wolf Tooth Club.

Was the gap in combat power between the two sides not obvious enough?

The Alvida Pirates totaled no more than twenty people.

And on the opposite side,

The Loguetown Navy led by Smoker had been continuously reinforced over the seven days, and the number of people who had found Contract Fruits and entered the Trial Tower already exceeded two hundred.

"If you don't dare to make a move, then get lost!"

After finishing his cigar, Smoker, lacking a smoke, bit down on a roadside weed and said murderously, "Otherwise, I'll slaughter you once we leave the Trial Tower!"

These damned Pirates were all pests who harmed innocent civilians.

They must all be cleaned up.

This was the meaning of his becoming a member of the Navy; even if a Marine Admiral stood before him, if they dared to harbor Pirates and evildoers, he would dare to stand on the opposite side of the Marine Admiral.

"Fine, you're ruthless. Let's go."

Alvida looked at the Red-Clad Specter with greedy eyes.

These Red-Clad Specters mostly gathered together, surrounded by countless ordinary specters.

Or they would hide in gloomy and terrifying buildings, in dead corners like mazes, popping out suddenly to kill players just like an Assassin.

The hunting difficulty was very high.

A Red-Clad Specter like this, exposed in an open area and without the protection of ordinary specters, was simply a perfect treasure chest.

Many players had already killed Red-Clad Specters and had very precious equipment and skills drop.

"Damn it, these Navy are truly shameless."

Alvida led her crew members away until they retreated to a safe distance.

Leaving the Red-Clad Specter to the Loguetown Navy.

"I will strike first; you all pay attention to blocking the Red-Clad Specter's escape route."

Poisonous smoke surged from Smoker's entire body, and he charged out fiercely, wrapping around the Red-Clad Specter at an extremely fast speed.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

With the blessing of Poisonous Blood, the poisonous smoke was like highly corrosive wolf-smoke, beginning to scorch the skin of the Red-Clad Specter.

Behind him,

Tashigi drew the katana at her waist and charged forward from the side.

Dark Slash.

Two purple-black intersecting Jiangji blocked the Red-Clad Specter that wanted to escape the range of the poisonous smoke.

The remaining Navy soldiers stepped forward one after another, surrounding it completely.

Just at this moment,

An arrogant voice rang out.

"Freeze Shot!"

Dagger-bullets, like flowers scattered by a goddess, trailing ice-blue tails, exploded near the Navy.

Instantly, it broke the formation the Navy was using to trap the Red-Clad Specter.

"Navy, hurry up and move aside for me!"

Buggy blew on the pitch-black gun barrel, gently wiping away the layer of frost that had formed on it.

A white space suit, a transparent glass dome like a fish tank.

He looked at Tashigi arrogantly and said, "Do you want to rebel against Lord Buggy Saint?"

"Captain!"

The vice-captain Mohji and the rest of the crew knelt down in a row like sycophants.

Looking at Captain Buggy with a face full of flattery.

Who could have imagined that a captain who sailed everywhere with the goal of finding treasure maps would suddenly transform into a World Noble, a Celestial Dragon.

Let alone the mere Navy, even if an Admiral from Marine Headquarters came over, they wouldn't dare do anything to them.

"Buggy."

Smoker looked over with a face full of resentment and said, "The Five Elders' order is to send you safely back to Mary Geoise; if you run into the Trial Tower, we have no way to answer to Marine Headquarters."

"Answer?"

Buggy accepted this change in status very smoothly and laughed loudly, "I am a Celestial Dragon; a Celestial Dragon is a Dragon Person who doesn't need to answer to anyone!"

Beside him, Mohji whispered a reminder, "Captain Buggy, it's not Dragon Person; Celestial Dragon means noble, the 'Heaven' and 'Dragon' cannot be separated."

"Do you need to tell me that?!"

Buggy's expression turned awkward, then he roared, "Has Captain Buggy not taught you that Captain Buggy's words are absolutely correct?"

"Yes, Captain Buggy!"

They did not care in the slightest about the numerous Navy personnel.

Before landing on Death Island, the Five Elders' order had already reached the ears of all players, and with countless Image Den Den Mushi eyes staring, no one dared to provoke a suspected Celestial Dragon in full view of everyone.

Buggy had finally found an opportunity to throw his weight around everywhere.

Like now, waiting for other players to beat a monster until it was on its last breath before suddenly stepping in to steal the kill was not the first time.

"Don't forget, it was I who saved you."

Smoker frowned deeply.

If it were before the Five Elders' order was issued, if Buggy dared to be this arrogant with him, he would have long since been thrown into prison and escorted to the bottom of the sea.

Buggy's bright red nose was about to point to the sky as he asked, "Are you saying you saved this Celestial Dragon lord?"

"Colonel Smoker."

Tashigi, standing nearby, was also full of suppressed frustration, but she was helpless.

She whispered a reminder to Smoker.

"Excuse the intrusion, but I hope Lord Buggy Saint can follow the Navy back to Mary Geoise as soon as possible and not continue to stay in the East Blue."

"Are you teaching me how to do things, Colonel Smoker?"

Rigid.

Smoker clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes, and the poison smoke swirling around his body grew increasingly dense.

During this time, the Navy of Loguetown under his own leadership had been constantly suppressing the living space of Pirates, but he never expected to be countered by Buggy instead.

Watching the other party's behavior of borrowing the tiger's might, Smoker really wanted to punch that red nose.

"Hahahaha, Zoro, look, it's a monster!"

Just at this moment,

A rubber arm suddenly stretched out, and a fist coated in Blue Potential Fist Qi smashed heavily onto the dying Red-Clad Yin Spirit.

Slap.

The Red-Clad Yin Spirit exploded into a puff of yin energy mist, and a purple light flickered.

"It's a purple light, Nami, look!"

Luffy jumped between Buggy and Smoker in surprise and snatched up the fallen purple halo.

In truth, he still hadn't figured out the various equipment and drops of the Samsara Game.

He just followed Nami's instructions: the shinier the color of the drop, the more he had to pick it up and bring it to her.

Purple halo.

This was the first time a purple drop had appeared on Death Island, the first floor of the Trial Tower.

"Bastard, Straw Hat boy!"

Seeing the purple light flickering, Buggy finally came to his senses, his eyeballs nearly popping out, and he shrieked hysterically, "That is my Red Yin Spirit, it is my drop, give it back to me!"

Smoker was also stunned by this sudden scene.

He had originally intended to let the Red-Clad Yin Spirit go to Buggy, but he never expected it to be snatched away by Caomao Lufei, and that a purple drop never seen before would appear.

"Is that so? Then I'll give it back to you."

Luffy picked his nose and handed the purple light in his palm to Buggy.

Buggy clawed and scrambled to snatch it, only to find that the system determined the drop belonged to Caomao Lufei, and he simply could not seize it.

This provocative posture made him so angry his heart ached.

"Damn guy, I am a Celestial Dragon, do you want to die?"

"Dragon Person?"

"Not Dragon Person, it's Celestial Dragon!"

"Heavenly Person?"

"It's Celestial Dragon!"

"Celestial Dragon?"

"It's Dragon Person!"

Luffy didn't understand Celestial Dragon at all and even got the name wrong, making Buggy's lips tremble with rage.

He pointed a trembling finger at Caomao Lufei and ordered Smoker, "Navy, kill Caomao Lufei for me!"

Even Smoker, who usually kept his emotions hidden, felt a sense of relief and said, "Sorry, I have received orders from Marine Headquarters to only send you safely back to the Holy Land."

"Go to hell!"

Buggy raised his arm, and the Water Demon Green Spirit Rifle fired the loaded armor-piercing round.

Idea Drive.

Bang.

The round straw hat was smashed onto the ground, and a ripple of force vibrated outward.

Buggy only felt his footing become unstable; after barely steadying his body, the incoming fist grew larger and larger, finally imprinting itself onto his left cheek.

"Stop!"

Nami, who arrived late, saw Buggy being punched away and turned pale with fright.

Although she hadn't been clear about the status of a Celestial Dragon before, since it could be treated as a game reward, it must have had extraordinary aspects.

After understanding it carefully, Nami was green with envy.

There actually existed a group of people who didn't need to work, could collect the world's wealth all day long, and were protected by Marine Admirals.

At the same time, she also realized the terrifying status of a Celestial Dragon.

"Straw Hat boy."

The weed Smoker was chewing on fell to the ground in shock, and his gloved hands trembled involuntarily twice.

Regardless of Buggy's previous identity,

with the orders of the Five Elders, even if it were only a suspicion, no one had the right to question Buggy's identity as a Celestial Dragon.

Therefore, he had only been able to endure Buggy's mockery with a few cold words before, and still had to obediently give up the Pollution Monster.

Celestial Dragon Buggy was actually hit?

This world is too crazy.

"Luffy, are you crazy!"

Nami was so scared that tears were almost coming out, and she fiercely knocked on Luffy's head.

She had originally wanted to lecture him, but when she turned her head, she discovered a purple halo and her attention was immediately diverted.

"Let's put other things aside for now, let me see the purple item that dropped first."

"Here, it's a broom."

A broom that looked very exquisite, with pure white bristles revealing an elegant aura everywhere, was pulled out by Luffy and traded to Nami.

Nami took the broom, and information about the equipment appeared.

【Doria's Lady Broom (Purple)】

Type: Weapon

Durability: 35/35

Attack Power: Energy Attack +35

Equipment Requirement: Lv. 10, 13 points of Spirit.

Additional Effect: Random Magic Creation skill +Lv. 2.

"So strong."

Nami was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned into star shapes and kept flashing.

The matter of the Celestial Dragon was thrown to the back of her mind by her money-loving personality,

and she directly equipped the weapon broom to activate the additional effect.

【Randomly selected 【Magic Creation Light Electric Eel】 +Lv. 2】

Hint: After activating a random additional effect, it cannot be easily changed. You can purchase an 【Equipment Effect Alteration Pen】 from the Game Mall to modify it. The additional ability becomes ineffective after unequipping the gear.

"Perfect!"

Nami clenched her fists tightly and couldn't help but jump up in excitement.

Because there were too few players in the Haizeixinxoucun, resources were scarce, and there wasn't even a decent piece of equipment; this weapon broom was the strongest broom she had encountered until now.

"Nami, the Celestial Dragon is angry."

Luffy looked at the furious Buggy with a completely indifferent face.

"Die, die, die, die!"

"Bastard, that was clearly supposed to be my treasure! Guys wearing straw hats are all bastards, you should all go repent!"

Seeing Nami's excited appearance, Buggy knew even more clearly that it was a good item, and his entire face began to turn green.

He frantically pulled the trigger.

An ice-blue barrage poured out, covering the three members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"So annoying."

Zoro drew his twin blades, the Blade scraping against the scabbard and sparking purple-black fire.

He directly ignited two cross Jiangji, shredding the barrage.

Beside him,

Nami also subconsciously swung her arm; with the weapon's boost, the Lv. 10 【Magic Creation Light Electric Eel】 shot out like a bolt of lightning.

Moreover, after the Light Electric Eel reached Lv. 10, she was lucky enough to comprehend a Skill Entry.

Lv. 10 Entry: Increases paralysis power by 30 points.

Just as the Light Electric Eel merged with the Magic Xindan, it erupted with a brilliant lightning aura, and in an instant, just like when he insta-killed the fishman Arlong, it turned Buggy into a flash of white light.

Luffy gave Nami a thumbs up and laughed: "Nami, you killed the Celestial Dragon."

If nothing else, his own navigator's combat power was even stronger than his, the Captain.

It's really great to have such a navigator.

"Shut up!"

Now it was Nami's turn to turn green; she had just seen the freezing bullets shooting over and instinctively wanted to defend herself.

It was just that after equipping the Lv. 10 Purple weapon, the boost to energy attacks and skills was too great, and it had actually insta-killed Buggy directly.

"No one saw that, right?"

Nami's lips trembled, and she turned her head in a stroke of luck.

Suddenly,

over two hundred Navy soldiers stood silently in place with expressions of Weirdness, staring wide-eyed at her.

Smoker subconsciously turned his head, wanting to pretend he hadn't seen anything.

Although one would not truly die inside the Trial Tower, if this matter were to spread, the reputation of failing to protect a World Noble would be enough to get him demoted.

Aside from the Loguetown Navy, surely no one else saw it, right?

Smoker tilted his head back, and his body suddenly stiffened.

His line of sight was just enough to steadily pierce through the sky of Death Island and see those Image Den Den Mushi mounted in all directions outside the Trial Tower area.

This scene had already been broadcast to the entire world.
