Chapter 227: Warring States: Gentlemen, let us show the world our justice!

Loot covered the ground, flickering with light.

Smoker, having prepared early, directly snatched the most conspicuous complete Family Token, as well as the dropped Lord Equipment 【Gouhun Shoulder Guards】.

The remaining Reward Points, along with various fragments of Rule-type Items, were frantically snatched up by the players who had finally reacted.

"Family Token Fragment!"

Haku held a palm-sized Family Token Fragment in his hand that emitted a faint white light.

The game prompt stated that five fragments could be fused into one complete Family Token.

"There are even Resurrection Coin fragments?"

Hongfa Xiangkesi froze, staring blankly at the dropped item he had just snatched.

It looked like a broken golden coin; roughly four fragments of the same size would be needed to fuse it into a complete circle.

"It can even resurrect the departed souls..."

Hongfa Xiangkesi let out a long breath; even though he had long known that the Samsara Game could resurrect life,

the feeling of hearing the promotion and holding the Resurrection Coin fragment in his own hand was completely different.

"Damn it, my Hunting Contribution isn't enough!"

Dofulangming, who had also been reminded by Smoker and had consciously snatched at the loot, only managed to grab one 【Insight Pill】 and some scattered Reward Points.

Because of the Apollo bomb, most of the contribution for that complete Family Token and equipment had been snatched away by the Navy.

"Selling Marine Headquarters just to hunt a single Corrupted Lord is truly a stupid decision, Mr. Strategist Sengoku!"

Dofulangming was first resentful, then sneered.

The value of Marine Headquarters absolutely far exceeded Dressrosa; if managed carefully, it would be like a hen that constantly lays eggs.

Sengoku's approach was no different from killing the hen to get the eggs.

Although a Family Token was precious, Corrupted Lords would continue to respawn later; could he not even wait that long? "It's the Navy, detonating some kind of bomb device!"

"What a bunch of bastards, I was almost able to touch the Corrupted Lord; I could have at least picked up two thousand Reward Points."

"I just picked up a Resurrection Coin fragment, but my contribution wasn't enough, and it was snatched away by Hongfa Xiangkesi. It's all the Navy's fault!"

The players gradually recovered and figured out what had just happened, immediately becoming indignant and all starting to denounce the Navy.

Marineford.

Sengoku's expression remained as usual; he was not excited that Smoker had snatched the Family Token, and he continued to methodically deploy his follow-up plans.

"The scales of victory must belong to the Navy!"

His voice was low.

Yet there was no sense of senility or hesitation, as if he had returned to when he had just become a Navy soldier, dreaming of changing the world.

The Reward Points exchanged for the entire Marine Headquarters had been almost completely exhausted.

A massive amount of Reward Points could not be used up just by exchanging for one Apollo bomb; this time, Fleet Admiral Sengoku of Marine Headquarters had given his all! A Vice Admiral said somewhat uneasily: "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, wouldn't this be too risky? If it's not as you speculated, we will suffer heavy losses!"

He had not expected that the usually steady Fleet Admiral would propose such a crazy plan.

Does this count as exploiting a loophole in the Samsara Game? "According to my judgment, as long as it conforms to the operating laws of the Samsara Game, the game merchant will not mind."

Sengoku said with a serious expression: "To break free from a shackle that has bound us for countless years, one must take extreme measures. If one doesn't even have the courage to break the established rules, one might as well continue to submit under the feet of the World Government."

"We keep getting stronger to uphold the true justice in our hearts; breaking free from the shackles of the World Government is imperative!"

Sengoku closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, suddenly opened them, and said: "The plan begins!"

"Show the Navy's might to all enemies, and declare the true justice of Marine Headquarters to the world!"

The world is changing.

The once-stable World Government has already developed cracks; now is the time to resist the predetermined fate!

All the Vice Admirals stood up.

Navy soldiers were slaughtered, Garp and Smoker were defeated by the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, Borsalino was captured, the Navy base was sold, and the World Government looked on coldly, even adding fuel to the fire.

The Navy had already fallen to the bottom, about to become the laughingstock of the whole world.

Now is the time to turn things around!... Facing the covetous players,

the Navy players, as if they had received orders long ago, led by Smoker and Garp, neatly took out an item from their inventory slots.

【Shuxing Zhuanhuangi (Inferior)】: Can twist the Magic aura within a small range.

A minor product of a technology-magic world, generally used as experimental equipment.

Crack.

Thousands of Shuxing Zhuanhuangi were activated.

It was like countless fireflies lighting up, but they were all gray-black auras similar to Yin energy.

Immediately after,

Smoker took out a product from his inventory slot that had cost half the value of a Navy base to purchase.

【Broken Dragon Crystal (Poison)】: The residual essence left behind after the death of a poison-attribute dragon.

Compared to the Dragon Crystal that Haku had seen in the Game House, although both were broken, this one was even more massive.

"Begin!"

The other players hadn't reacted yet, looking blankly at the Navy players who had planned this long ago.

The energy of the Dragon Crystal radiated out, and a terrifying dragon aura swept across the entire Death Island.

After some players were enveloped by the aura of the poison dragon, they immediately developed a negative status.

【Dragon Poison】: Body poisoned by poison-attribute dragon toxins, HP decreases by 50 points per second.

"What's going on?"

"Is the Navy trying to wipe out all the players? But Death Island allows resurrection; what is the point of them doing this?"

"Something's not right; the Navy must have a conspiracy."

"Nonsense, who doesn't know there's a conspiracy, but what exactly are they trying to do?"

The independent players hurriedly fled the area covered by the Poison Dragon Crystal.

The Pollution Lord was already dead, so staying any longer was useless; if they were poisoned to death by the Dragon Crystal released by the Navy, it would be a waste of resurrection money.

"Dragon, is the Revolutionary Army not retreating?"

Ivankov propped up a massive Shengguang Huzhun, shrouding the entire Revolutionary Army troop within it.

However,

the energy aura contained within the Dragon Crystal was too powerful, constantly corroding the holy light and causing her Energy Value to drop crazily.

"Wait a little longer..."

After a moment of silence, Dragon shook his head.

Although the rebellion joined by the Revolutionary Army due to the Noble and the Pirate had caused the Navy to retreat steadily and lose all face,

he had never dared to underestimate the Marine Headquarters.

As the faction possessing the most top-tier experts in the entire ocean, any action they took could very likely impact the future of the Revolutionary Army.

"To think they would go to such lengths?"

Hongfa Xiangkesi seemed to have thought of the key point and suddenly revealed a look of shock.

He raised his head, gazing toward the Marine Headquarters across the East Blue and countless islands, as if he could see the face of the Fleet Admiral.

There was quite a sense of mutual appreciation.

Back then,

having already reached the pinnacle as a Pirate Emperor with top-tier strength, he had willingly let himself Dan an arm, betting his fate on the new era.

And now, Sengoku was making a similar move; under the circumstances of a world in upheaval, he was abandoning the consolidation of Navy forces to hunker down in a corner, abandoning continued submission at the feet of the World Government.

Is he trying to bet his fate on the Samsara Game?
