Chapter 182: Fang Yi: You can purchase a Random Key to update your fate items

The Vice Admirals who opposed him were a bit panicked at the sight.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was usually extremely obedient to the World Government and allowed them to manipulate him through political means, had suddenly become so tough.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we are also worried about the World Government's questioning."

"That's right, if the World Government blames us, the Marine Headquarters' military budget for next year will be cut to an unbearable level."

"Without this military budget, how can we train new troops, and how can we protect the safety of the Si Hai?"

The Vice Admirals spoke all at once, but they all sat down with a tacit understanding.

The person before them was Buddha Sengoku, who had hunted countless Pirates, captured the Pirate King Roger, and fought alongside the Marine Hero against Jin Shi Zi.

Once he truly lost his temper, no one dared to provoke him.

"Do as I say."

Sengoku did not waver in the slightest at their questioning, not even bothering to acknowledge them, and gave orders to the Marine soldiers nearby.

Why did Mihawk and Doflamingo rebel, and why did the Nobles of the World Government's affiliated nations rebel?

This was something Sengoku had pondered deeply but could not understand.

Until now,

he felt his line of thinking had been wrong.

All along, in Sengoku's eyes, the Game Merchant was just an ambitious person stirring up trouble.

Choosing the weakest East Blue was likely just a weird method, and his strength might not necessarily be that great.

Later on, the open rebellion of Mihawk and Doflamingo made Sengoku realize that things were not simple; the danger level of the Game Merchant could likely be equated to the world's strongest, Whitebeard, or even the Rocks of the past.

But this was still not enough.

The Rear Admirals and Colonels of the Si Hai branches, and the rank-level Marines of the Grand Line, all had the World Government as their backing.

Buddha Sengoku, Iron Fist Garp, Aokiji, Kizaru, Akainu, and Tsuru—these gathered core strengths and peak combat powers could be summed up in two words on this sea.

Invincible!

No one could stop them.

If one were to say that an opportunistic, ambitious person like Doflamingo would be willing to give up Dressrosa and oppose the Navy upon seeing certain massive rewards.

The rebellion of those Noble armies was the final straw that completely crushed Sengoku's heart.

For Nobles whose lives and livelihoods were all entrusted to the World Government to dare to openly rebel, there was only one possibility: they believed that the Game Merchant was not only capable of defeating the World Government and the Navy, but could do so with absolute ease, crushing them completely.

Only then,

could these Nobles and politicians, who were always clever and despicable, dare to make such a crazy move.

Known as the wise general Sengoku, he had had this guess early on,

but it was too outrageous, sounding as ridiculous as a fairy tale from the West Blue; he simply did not believe anyone could surpass the Navy, let alone in a crushing manner.

Until now,

when the Game Merchant announced that the Soul-Snatching Monster was about to descend upon the East Blue, Sengoku finally accepted reality.

With his brainpower and his observations in front of the Den Den Mushi during this period, he had long been able to judge that what the Game Merchant said was highly likely to be true.

"So that's how it is!"

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Sengoku's mouth as he muttered to himself: "The Nobles have abandoned the Navy and turned to the new future provided by the Game Merchant."

What an absurd sea this truly is.

If he continued to follow the orders of the World Government, the Navy would fall into a state of eternal doom.

Fortunately, the recklessness of Garp and Smoker gave the situation room to turn around.

After picking up the Den Den Mushi, it was a while before Garp's panting voice came through: "Stupid Sengoku, can't you see I'm fighting the Revolutionary Army? Why are you calling at a time like this?"

Although he said that, he still chose to answer.

This was their tacit understanding.

Sengoku said expressionlessly: "I am allocating five billion to you and Smoker; break the shackles, fight with all your might, and make hunting the Soul-Snatching Envoy your highest priority order!" Two seconds later.

"Hahahahahaha..."

A loud laugh came from the Den Den Mushi: "In all these years, this is the first time you've resisted the World Government's orders; it really makes me look at you in a new light!"

"Idiot."

Talking to Garp was truly frustrating; Sengoku frowned and said: "Watch your phrasing; it is not resistance. As Fleet Admiral, I am simply doing what I believe is beneficial to the World Government and the Navy."

Now was not the time to fall out with the World Government.

He had originally planned to muddle through for another two years, retire honestly, and hand the position of Fleet Admiral over to the steady Kuzan.

He never expected to encounter such a bizarre and absurd thing at the very end of his retirement.

So be it.

The worst result would be the ruin of his reputation, a guilt he could bear.

Fang Yi nodded slightly and said: "The Navy, they aren't all idiots."

He sensed tens of thousands of Reward Points coming in; the strength of Garp and Smoker was rapidly skyrocketing.

"Mr. Merchant, are there any other fate items in the Game House?"

Smoker asked suddenly after communicating with the Game House.

Unlike Garp, even if he exchanged for his full strength, he would at best be a slightly weaker Vice Admiral, and that would be thanks to the high baseline of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit.

With just this, he could not compete against great Pirates like Mihawk and Doflamingo.

"Of course, but..."

Fang Yi's light-screen projection appeared, spread his palms, and said: "The Game House updates its fate items every seven days. Just as there is a 【Fate Lock】 that can lock fate items from being updated, there is naturally a 【Random Key】 that can update them in advance."

In his palm lay a key that was golden all over.

【Random Key】: No need to wait; randomly replaces the five fate items in the Game House. Price: 200 Reward Points.

"Two hundred Reward Points?"

Smoker raised his head in disbelief; although he had only been a Reincarnation Game Player for a short half-month, he had already realized the essence of the Reincarnation Space very profoundly.

It was a money pit.

Whether it was gold and jewelry, money with credit value, or even island mineral veins and various rare raw materials, all could be exchanged for Reward Points.

The Reward Points from pay-to-win and hunting Pollution Monsters combined should have been a considerable asset.

But they always disappeared inexplicably.

Inside the Trial Tower, Reward Points were needed almost everywhere; it felt like the only thing they didn't charge for was breathing.

No... shouldn't game duration count as a breathing fee?

And now, a Random Key was surprisingly cheap, costing only two hundred Reward Points.

This left Smoker, who had almost grown accustomed to shelling out Reward Points, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Could there be a conspiracy?

Fang Yi smiled at the corners of his eyes and said, "That's right, the price of a Random Key is only two hundred Reward Points."

The price of a Random Key did not need to be set too high at all.

It was just like the relationship between Dama and sweets; it was fine before tasting them, but once one got a taste of it, it was impossible to control.

With a Lv. 15 Purple Armor Set, only one piece away from completing it to trigger the set effect, could a player resist waiting for the random draw every seven days? Two hundred Reward Points seemed inexpensive, but no one could resist only randomizing once; inadvertently, they would spend a large amount of Reward Points, and even if they knew they were throwing money down the drain, they would still sigh in frustration while being unable to stop themselves from continuing to randomize.

Just like Smoker right now,

he took a deep breath, took the Random Key with some trepidation, and chose to use it.

【Player has randomized a 【Game House】 destiny item, new items have been refreshed!】
