Chapter 226: A Desperate Gamble in the Warring States

"Ants, vermin!"

The Soul Snatching Envoy gripped the Death Scythe tightly, harvesting the players' lives batch by batch,

while a trace of panic emerged on a face that appeared ferocious and terrifying.

Even with the help of some kind of formation that allowed these players to die and resurrect, were they not afraid of pain? By constantly throwing their lives away like this, did they not harbor resentment toward the mastermind behind the scenes?

Who would willingly and voluntarily die over and over to work for someone else?

These guys were all lunatics!

"The Revolutionary Army family, it really is something to look forward to..."

Dragon Blood boiled within his body, and scale after scale grew out.

The Revolutionary Army Leader entered his Dragon-man state, and relying on his savage and tough physique, a pair of dragon claws tore at the Yin Qi protective barrier in front of the Soul Snatching Envoy.

Immediately following,

Whitebeard and Red-Hair also appeared within the Soul Snatching Hall.

Scarlet Breath filled the hall; the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates were weak in strength, but they were able to provide a boost to Whitebeard.

After recovering to his peak state and receiving the boost from the Scarlet Legion, his four-dimensional attributes skyrocketed; although he was not the strongest, he had touched the threshold of the first tier of the Pirate World.

"Everyone, are you willing to give me some face?"

Shanks revealed the smile of an honest man.

Although he knew that in this situation no one was willing to stop, he still opened his mouth while holding onto a glimmer of hope.

Sure enough,

these players besieging the Pollution Lord all turned their heads, looking at Red-Hair with the gaze one would use for a fool.

"How disgraceful! Shanks!"

The red-nosed Buggy, holding dual pistols, glared at Shanks for saying such stupid words.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of flame bombs shot toward the Pollution Lord, causing continuous violent explosions, intentionally or unintentionally taking away some melee players.

Taking advantage of the gap between explosions,

he secretly tossed out a C4 Yuancheng Zhadan shimmering with a red faint light, waiting just for the Pollution Lord's health bar to hit bottom to detonate it and snatch the final kill.

Buggy secretly laughed at these guys for being stupid,

unable to compare to the brilliant Captain Buggy, and in the end, they were just wasting their energy in vain.

His gaze slanted slightly,

and he saw the guys from the Straw Hat crew had also arrived in the hall; recalling how he had been beaten up previously, anger instantly flared in his heart.

He fired a flame bomb straight at them.

"Lianyu Tombstone!"

Zoro decisively swung his sword,

and tombstone after tombstone wreathed in Purple Ghost Qi descended from the sky, smashing the flame bomb and falling toward the direction of the sneak attacker.

Bang.

Luffy stuck his yellow straw hat into the ground, and upon seeing it was his old acquaintance Buggy, he revealed a brilliant, smiling face.

"It's you, Red-Nose!"

"Don't call me Red-Nose, I am Captain Buggy!"

The scene grew increasingly chaotic,

more and more players appeared on the scene, the Pollution Lord was beaten into a steady retreat, and the entire Soul Snatching Hall was overturned.

When the health bar was about to be cleared,

all the players' eager gazes were locked onto the Pollution Lord.

"Pops, don't even think about snatching the final kill!"

The Revolutionary Army Leader in his Dragon-man state raised his head,

saw Garp leaping high with a massive air current erupting from his entire body, and flapped his dragon wings behind him, colliding directly with Garp.

"Flame Giant Spear!"

Seeing this, Smoker hurriedly controlled the Dujulou Jiangjun, condensing a massive long spear to thrust over.

"Hehehe, did you forget about me, Smoker?"

A pitch-black figure blocked Smoker's path.

Doflamingo stood like a flamingo on a web created by the String-String Fruit, his fingers constantly twitching,

as the pitch-black figure gradually revealed its original appearance.

It was an ape, pitch-black all over with dense, long hair; steel was attached to its skin, making it look like a product of technology.

On its chest was a purple-black Magic Beast crystal core.

"Just you?"

Smoker gave a disdainful cold snort,

and his Poison Giant Spear swept across, landing on the black ape Puppet.

"How arrogant; as it happens, I like your arrogance."

Doflamingo burst into laughter.

The Poison Giant Spear, which should have been invincible and directly corroded the ape Puppet clean, was like it had been stuck to something, constantly being absorbed by the thin and weak ape Puppet.

Smoker sensed something was wrong and hurriedly cut off the Poison Giant Soldier.

With a grave expression, he said, "A Puppet that can absorb Poison?"

"Exchanged for 50,000 Reward Points for the corpse of a Third Tier 【Poison-Eating Nether Ape】 from the Dou Qi Continent, and using tens of thousands of Reward Points worth of precious materials to create this Puppet capable of swallowing Venom—how is it?"

Doflamingo stroked the head of the black monkey Puppet,

and sneered: "Don't look down on a Puppet Master. As long as I have puppets of different attributes, I can handle all kinds of battles. I am simply not a being that your kind of simple Venom Giant can defeat."

The island of Dressrosa was sold off, and even the Empire he ruled fell apart,

all for the sake of creating a puppet capable of suppressing all players.

Besides the black monkey Puppet that could absorb Venom, he also created a fire-type fairy puppet, specifically to counter the Leader of the Revolutionary Army.

"You really went to great lengths, but it's a pity..."

Smoker suddenly revealed a look of regret on his face, looking at the Heavenly Yaksha with mockery.

"Don't put on an act. The Navy bases have all been sold off; does the Navy still have other tricks up its sleeve?"

A bad feeling welled up in Doflamingo's heart. He stared closely at Smoker and discovered that the other party did not seem to be feigning composure.

With the obstruction of the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, the strongest person in the Pirate World at the current stage,

as well as the hostility of the two Four Emperors, Whitebeard and Hongfa Xiangkesi, and the watchful eyes of Hawkeye and himself, even if it were the Navy, what kind of trump card could they still have?

It couldn't be...

Smoker said expressionlessly: "That's right. Since you could sell off Dressrosa, could the Marine Headquarters be any less bold than a Pirate?"

"That old guy Sengoku, he actually dared to sell off the Marine Headquarters?!!"

Doflamingo never expected that the Fleet Admiral, who had always treated the Marine Headquarters as a precious treasure, would actually go so far as to sell it off just to snatch the Pollution Lord.

Thinking about it, he sneered: "Even so, at most you've only cultivated one top-tier player. Can you guarantee you'll absolutely get the final kill?"

Smoker did not speak.

The next second,

every player inside the Soul Snatching Hall felt a sense of danger in their hearts.

Even the Leader of the Revolutionary Army had his hair standing on end.

Even he, in a state of boiling Dragon Blood, having already touched the threshold of a Tier 2 player, felt a sense of dread.

Thump, thump.

It sounded like a heartbeat.

The entire island began to shake along with the pulsation, and a golden apple, exquisite in design and the size of a palm, radiated scorching energy fluctuations like a sun.

"The Apollo Bomb, produced in a technological world and used to destroy planets. A single one can directly blast through the entire Grand Line and split the Pirate World in two."

Inside the Game House,

sensing that the sold Apollo Bomb had been activated, Fang Yi was somewhat impressed by Sengoku's decision.

The entire Marine Headquarters was sold off,

not to cultivate a Tier 1 Peak player, but to go all-in, choosing a technological product and refreshing nearly 100,000 Reward Points to obtain this 【Apollo Bomb】.

It directly avoided the dispute of kill-stealing.

Pirates, Revolutionary Army, Four Emperors?

With one Apollo Bomb capable of destroying the world, the damage would directly overflow; no one could hope to snatch it from the Navy.

All beings are equal.

Boom.

Death Island was covered by golden light and flames, and along with the Soul Snatching Hall and the island itself, everything seemed to be obliterated, leaving not even ashes behind.

Fortunately, the outermost layer was blocked by the rules of the Samsara Game,

otherwise, the entire East Blue would have completely turned into a dead zone, and the planet of the Pirate World would have been missing a piece.

Even so,

living beings far away in the New World felt the tremor of the entire world.

The moment Death Island was destroyed, it had already been restored to wholeness.

All players destroyed by the Apollo Bomb were also resurrected in white light.

Most players didn't even understand the situation; they had just seen the golden light of the Apollo explosion before they met their end.

The voice of the Game Merchant rang in the ears of all players.

【Congratulations to player 【Navy Poison Dragon】 for completing the final kill of the Pollution Lord. Reward: one lucky draw opportunity!】
