Chapter 199: The Shock Brought by the First-Kill Reward!

"A Silver prize?"

The crowd was horrified.

Ever since the appearance of the Game Merchant and the Trial Tower, this was the first Silver commodity to appear in the Pirate World.

The final battle for the kill between the Navy's Smoker and the Revolutionary Army Leader,

if placed outside the Trial Tower, its power could even destroy the Red Line.

Even such a powerful commodity was only judged to be of Purple grade; now that a rarer and more uncommon Silver grade has emerged, could it be that this commodity is capable of destroying the world?

The most distressed were naturally the Navy.

Sengoku's face was ashen, his gaze fixed on that orb of Silver radiance that had yet to reveal its true form, filled with nothing but regret.

If he had known, he would have sold two more Navy bases,

and with more military funding, perhaps Smoker would have had a chance to defeat the Revolutionary Army Leader.

"And that bastard Garp..."

The more precious the prize, the angrier Sengoku became, clenching his fists as he said, "To think he went off to clash head-on with Mihawk at the most critical moment! Could he not have conserved his strength to face the Revolutionary Army Leader alongside Smoker?"

He felt uneasy.

If the Revolutionary Army Leader, who already possessed the power to destroy giant islands, were to obtain a Silver prize, how strong would he become?

If he were to charge into Marineford single-handedly, could his own old bones still block the opponent?

Especially since the Revolutionary Army Leader was the son of that old bastard.

Truly a failure in raising his son!

"It's actually a Magic Fortress?"

Fang Yi had not expected the Revolutionary Army Leader to draw this very obscure commodity.

Originating from a world where technology and magic were fused,

the Magic Fortress was one of the core products of that world.

It contained various types of magic technology within, and by consuming energy, it could manufacture various magic-tech buildings and train magic troop types.

It could be called a mobile mechanical magic castle,

somewhat similar to a base vehicle in a certain war game.

Even with his stout heart, the Revolutionary Army Leader, Dragon, could not help but grow excited, muttering to himself, "Is this my will?"

The radiance slowly dissipated,

revealing the interior, and a massive fortress resembling a small town appeared in the sky.

Metal rings imbued with magical aura surrounded the exterior of the entire fortress, while the interior held a magic core flickering with Silver light; other than that, it appeared somewhat empty.

"Although the aura it emits is very strong, it doesn't seem to have anything special about it."

Crocodile narrowed his eyes.

This commodity appeared to be another type of giant weapon, but it seemed far inferior to the Ancient Weapon Pluton he had been painstakingly pursuing.

He had browsed through the remaining documents;

the once-great Ancient Weapon Pluton could destroy an island with a single shot from its Pluton Cannon.

But this Magic Fortress didn't even have cannons; it looked like an empty shell.

"Hmph..."

Crocodile let out a sneer.

He acknowledged the mystery and power of the Game Merchant, but the commodities sold ultimately had flaws, making them inferior to the Pluton he had spent years searching for.

Or rather, he was unwilling to admit that the Pluton he had spent a massive amount of effort to find was not as good as the Game Merchant's prize.

Otherwise,

all these years, first agreeing to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea for the Navy, then painstakingly managing Baroque Works, going to great lengths to play the hero of the Alabasta Kingdom, and plotting to drive the King from power...

Yet the opponent could easily obtain a weapon surpassing Pluton just by hunting a single Pollution Monster.

Wouldn't everything he had done be reduced to a joke?

Behind the Golden Den Den Mushi,

the Five Elders also looked at this Silver prize with faces full of vigilance and doubt.

If the Revolutionary Army had not been taken seriously by them before, then the Revolutionary Army, which now displayed powerful military force and had obtained a Silver prize, was a threat level that had been maxed out for the World Government.

"Magic Fortress?"

Dragon looked on with doubt, carefully examining this Magic Fortress.

He had not expected that by relying on the power of his own will, he would draw this strange reward.

Seeing the Revolutionary Army Leader's confusion, Fang Yi explained, "A product of magic technology, similar to the Ancient Weapons of the Pirate World."

"Only, the Ancient Weapons of the Pirate World are of Purple quality."

"And this Magic Fortress is a genuine Silver item."

The three most famous Ancient Weapons of the Pirate World,

codenamed after the gods of myth and legend—Uranus, Poseidon, and Pluton—possessed the terrifying power to manipulate Sea Kings and destroy islands.

But they had various flaws, such as being prone to losing control and requiring massive amounts of fuel energy to start.

They counted as top-tier Purple items, but had not yet reached Silver.

For a First-Tier World like the Pirate World or the world of the Hokage to give birth to a Silver-quality item, it required the World Consciousness to be willing to pour in nearly half of its origin.

Except for certain World Consciousnesses facing a desperate situation and wanting to gamble, ordinary worlds would simply never do this.

"Are you kidding me? Ancient Weapons only count as Purple quality?"

Crocodile was stunned at first, his violently fluctuating emotions causing him to bite his cigar in half.

Staring at that massive yet empty Magic Fortress, the golden hook slammed heavily onto the ground.

Although he was aware of the terrifying strength of the game merchant, he was not foolish enough to rush over to argue, yet deep down he did not agree with the other party's judgment.

"Mr. Fang Yi."

Dragon remained puzzled and asked, "Although the Ancient Weapon possesses powerful destructive force, the Revolutionary Army lacks the conditions to activate it. Is this item truly the manifestation of my will's demand upon fate?"

In other words, the Magic Fortress is a weapon even stronger than an Ancient Weapon.

However,

The reason Ancient Weapons possess such powerful deterrent force is that the World Government, which controls them, has abundant resources; the more powerful a weapon is, the more massive the energy required to activate it.

At the current stage, the Revolutionary Army is mostly fleeing from place to place.

All operational funds have already been used to exchange for Reward Points; for the remaining assets to attempt to activate the Magic Fortress is nothing but a pipe dream.

Even if it could be forcibly activated, destroy the Red Line in one blow?

In that case, the Revolutionary Army would also lose all its resources and fall apart.

"You are comparing the Magic Fortress to the Ancient Weapons of the Pirate World?"

Or perhaps it is because the time spent in contact with the Samsara Game is too short,

that the players of the Pirate World do not seem to understand the weight of a Silver reward.

Fang Yi said with some helplessness: "After binding it, you will understand the purpose of the Magic Fortress."

Although doubtful,

Dragon still cautiously bound the Tier 1 【Magic Fortress】, and countless pieces of information instantly flooded into his mind.

【Magic Fortress (Tier 1)】

Type: Building

Effect: Can accommodate Tier 1 mechanical magic buildings, strengthening the internal structure of the fortress.

Existing buildings: Primary Magic Training Ground*1

A moment later,

Dragon's body swayed, and his eyes revealed shock and confusion.

He disregarded the surrounding onlookers—Pirates and Navy—and said to the super-sized head within the Revolutionary Army ranks: "Ivankov, do not resist."

"Understood."

Although Ivankov did not know what Dragon wanted to do, she trusted him unconditionally.

The next second, a dialog box appeared before her eyes.

【Player 【Celestial Dragon Must Die】 invites you to enter 【Primary Magic Training Ground】, do you agree?】

"Of course I agree!"

As soon as Ivankov finished speaking, she vanished completely.

【Already entered Primary Magic Training, the entire process consumes 3000 Reward Points, 72 hours remaining, do you wish to consume 3000 Reward Points to accelerate?】

"Yes."

To verify the results as quickly as possible, Dragon directly consumed three thousand Reward Points.

Ivankov's figure appeared once again; she felt her head was a bit dizzy, as if she had just experienced a grueling, high-intensity training session.

Dragon suppressed his excitement and asked, "Ivankov, how do you feel?"

"I feel... I don't really... hiss..."

The Okama King shook her large head, and halfway through her sentence, a brand-new piece of magic knowledge suddenly surfaced in her mind.

She raised her head, and magic aura rapidly condensed in the center of her palm.

Bang.

A cluster of flames burned from the pure magic aura, as scorching as magma.

The Okama King hurriedly pulled back her hand, and the flames extinguished accordingly; she said in a panic: "What is going on? Did I accidentally eat the Mera Mera no Mi?"

Magic Fortress!

Dragon's eyes erupted with sharp light, his chest heaved violently, and his scorching gaze fell upon the Magic Fortress.
