Chapter 220: Information Disclosure, Family Token Fragment

"240,000 Reward Points, that is truly expensive."

Feeling the scarlet crystal core condensed at his heart, Whitebeard nodded with great satisfaction.

But upon second thought, the fact that a single Bloodline cost the equivalent of four small islands made his heart ache.

"It doesn't matter."

Fang Yi comforted him: "As long as the Whitebeard Pirates pay the monthly Reward Points for the small islands sold, they can still be stationed on the islands."

Islands transformed by the Samsara Game are like an expansion of the Pirate World's Novice Village.

Players are not forbidden from appearing.

It is just that they are classified as the private territory of the Game Merchant; if one wishes to be stationed there, one must pay Reward Points.

"If I have sufficient Reward Points in the future, can I buy the islands back?"

After all, having to pay rent for islands where the Whitebeard Pirates have been stationed for many years made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

It was difficult to explain to his sons.

"Of course you can."

Fang Yi nodded and said: "To purchase an island, you need a 【Territory Purchase Scroll】. The Game House does not sell such rule-based items; they must be produced by players hunting Pollution Monsters."

"Furthermore, there are conditions for purchasing territory: you must be a faction that possesses a Family."

Purchased territory will automatically be integrated into the scope of the Family Territory.

Upgrading the Family level, expanding Family buildings, and even the Family Badge will all occupy the capacity of the Family Territory.

If a Family wants to develop, purchasing territory is an unavoidable step.

Therefore,

these islands and continents currently being swallowed and purchased by Fang Yi will all be high-quality commodities that players will fight crazily over in the future.

"Mr. Fang Yi."

Whitebeard couldn't help but ask: "Up until now, only one Family Token has appeared, and that was the one you personally sold to that little girl from Alabasta. Can the Whitebeard Pirates also purchase a Family Token?"

Although he had purchased an unexpected item like the Scarlet Troll Bloodline,

he had not forgotten the Whitebeard Pirates' original goal for coming to the East Blue.

Healing injuries and illnesses, and the Family Token.

Fang Yi said with a smile: "It seems Mr. Whitebeard has a deep obsession with a Family."

"After all, even the Red Hair Pirates, who uphold the philosophy of freedom, need an island to serve as their base camp."

Whitebeard did not shy away from the topic and said bluntly: "Even if I am a Scarlet Troll, no matter how strong a legion is, it can only roam. Being stationed on an island and managing it patiently is what a Pirate Emperor should do."

Don't look at how Caomao Lufei sails all the way, with a single pirate ship satisfying all his needs for food, drink, and shelter.

But that is only in the early stages.

Once Caomao Lufei defeats the Heavenly Yaksha, even if he has no intention of founding a faction, countless people will help him spontaneously form the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

There is no need for Caomao Lufei to say much at all; they have already begun occupying islands.

In the Pirate World,

islands are the foundation of major factions, just as the World Government is the logistical support for Marine Headquarters; every major faction cannot avoid this.

"The Game House does not sell Family Tokens."

Fang Yi shook his head: "The first token in Alabasta was part of the game's promotion."

"Is that so?"

Whitebeard was somewhat disappointed.

Anyone with a slightly functional brain could see the importance of a Family Token.

If the Samsara Game continues to expand, eventually, everything in the Pirate World will be incorporated into the game's territory. Whoever can possess a Family will occupy the resources and advantages to cultivate players.

"After the game promotion ends, they will naturally appear in large numbers."

Fang Yi reached out his hand,

and posted a new announcement on the public channel that all players could see.

【Game Merchant】:

5 hours until the opening of 【Death Island】; intelligence disclosure follows.

The returning Pollution Lord 【Soul-Snatching Envoy】 has broken free from the chains on its right hand, its four-dimensional attributes have increased by 20 points, and it has unlocked the new skill 【Fear Grasp】.

Loot revealed: Soul-Snatching Envoy's Pauldrons, Soul-Snatching Scythe, Reward Points, Family Token Fragment...

After the announcement was posted,

all the factions lurking on the islands of the East Blue to recuperate were in an uproar.

"Finally appearing, a Family Token Fragment?"

Doflamingo swirled his red wine glass and drained it in one gulp, the bright red wine soaking his collar as it ran down the corner of his mouth.

Behind him,

were the newcomers who had been successfully recognized by the Donquixote Family after countless slaughters.

A purple-haired man in golden Armor, the former Pirate Rear Admiral who once had a grand fleet, Krieg.

After betraying the Navy, the former East Blue Navy Colonel, Axe-Hand Morgan.

To wash away his shame, Morgan gave himself a new nickname, Axe Emperor Morgan, and he swore to use his Giant Axe to chop off Caomao Lufei's head!

The other players who failed in the slaughter,

were all incorporated into the 【Flamingo Group】. Whoever performs excellently in the process of hunting Pollution Monsters will be able to become a new member of the Donquixote Family.

"Aokiji, Sakazuki, Borsalino."

Vice Admiral Tsuru said with a serious expression: "You have just become players and do not have enough time to grow stronger, so your mission is to hold back Whitebeard as much as possible."

Even if one can purchase destiny items from the Game House,

However, Death Island is sealed, and without the Admiral level required to hunt Pollution Monsters, it is impossible to equip gear and weapons.

This leads to a situation where even if one possesses powerful skills, they will still fall behind when comparing their four-dimensional attributes to top-tier players.

Therefore,

fighting against new players who also cannot equip gear, and wiping out the Whitebeard Pirates in one fell swoop, is the best combat choice.

"Garp and Smoker."

Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at the nearly dozing Garp, frowned, and said: "Marshal Sengoku's latest allocation has already reached your accounts; continue to Reinforcement and grow your strength to oppose the Leader of the Revolutionary Army."

Military funds have already been overdrawn.

Sengoku, who is stationed at Marine Headquarters, has prepared to stake everything; these are all assets obtained by selling off Marine bases.

Once the Pollution Lord is completely killed,

this battle in the East Blue will end.

If the World Government frees up its hands and Marine Headquarters still lacks sufficient independent capability, it will completely disappear from this ocean.

Sengoku is also clear on the severity of the consequences,

but this is also the only opportunity to break away from the World Government and grasp absolute justice.

"Understood."

Smoker nodded with a serious expression,

leaping from a Colonel in Loguetown to become the fourth Marine Admiral 【Poison Dragon】; he did not feel the slightest panic.

He only needs to clear out all Pirates and carry out justice; whether as a Colonel or a Marine Admiral, his convictions will not change.

Inside the Game House,

"What a pity, I didn't manage to Awakened the Scarlet Chain."

The innate abilities of the Scarlet Troll Bloodline appear randomly.

After trying, Whitebeard discovered that the Awakened talent was neither a mental link like Scarlet Resonance, nor the Scarlet Blood Spring that can heal injuries, nor the Scarlet Chain that allows for life-sharing.

Instead, it was a new talent that had not appeared before.

Hum.

A burst of Scarlet Breath drifted out.

It rapidly condensed into several blood-colored Shield, as well as scarlet scimitars and katanas.

【Scarlet Blood Soldier Lv. 1】: Consumes the energy of a Scarlet Crystal Core to provide friendly units with weapons containing Scarlet Breath.

Slash!

Whitebeard gripped Murakumogiri and slashed at the blood-colored Shield; it actually blocked his strike, with only slight cracks appearing.

Relying on his own strength, even without releasing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Haki, ordinary weapons could not withstand his pure physical power.

A Lv. 1 Scarlet Blood Soldier could actually block it?

Furthermore,

Whitebeard controlled the blood soldiers, rapidly fusing and gathering them to become a blood-colored Shield as large as a city wall.

"It can actually fuse; the more Scarlet Blood Soldiers gathered, the stronger the power and defense."

Whitebeard sighed: "A very strong group skill; the Whitebeard Pirates' coordinated combat capability can double."

He, who had been somewhat disappointed, did not expect the new skill to be this strong.

"Although it cannot produce a Family Token, the Game House can refresh all of the Troll's innate abilities, as long as your Reward Point are sufficient."

Fang Yi smiled very politely,

once you grasp a player's weakness, you don't have to worry about them not spending money.

Not to mention anything else, the innate abilities of the Scarlet Troll alone are enough to drain all the savings the Whitebeard Pirates have accumulated over these years.

"Reward Point, this old man still has some..."

Whitebeard nodded quite confidently and turned to look at the Game House's shelves.

The first 【Random Key】 appeared.

The spending begins!
