Chapter 229: Establishment of Marine Headquarters

"Such weird means, to think even I cannot break free?"

Whitebeard, in his Scarlet Troll form, discovered that he could not break free from the shackles' restraint for a moment.

Possessing the Power Sharing talent, the attributes of a Scarlet Troll could siphon a portion of the attributes from every member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

In a short period, he could even rival Garp, who was of the pure Taijutsu school.

It was just a pity,

the Vajra Shackles released by Vice Admiral Tsuru were one-time consumable items,

much like an array, consuming the energy of nearly ten thousand Navy members to carry out the blockade; this was absolutely a gap in quantity.

Boom.

The Yin energy converted from the Dragon Crystal was like a spark lit in a biogas pit, directly causing the entire Soul Snatching Hall to re-converge.

Amidst the astonished and bewildered gazes of all the players,

the Soul Snatching Envoy, who should have been in a resurrection state, gathered a body of Yin energy at an extremely fast speed.

"Humble..."

The Soul Snatching Envoy had just opened its mouth, not yet finishing its words.

Boom.

The Apollo bomb exploded once again.

【Congratulations to player 【Navy Poison Dragon】 for completing the final kill of the Pollution Lord, rewarded with one lottery chance!】

A moment later,

the resurrected players, having experienced it twice in a row, finally reacted and realized the Navy's despicable and shameless plan.

"Bastards, to think they would claim the Pollution Lord for themselves?"

"This is cheating! Do the game merchants just watch the Navy engage in opportunism?"

"I don't believe the Navy still has a third Apollo bomb!"

As the words fell,

Boom.

The Soul Snatching Envoy died for the third time.

【Congratulations to player 【Navy Aokiji】 for completing the final kill of the Pollution Lord, rewarded with one lottery chance!】

Boom.

Boom.

【Congratulations to player 【Navy Akainu】 for completing the final kill of the Pollution Lord, rewarded with one lottery chance!】

【Congratulations to player 【Navy Tsuru】 for completing the final kill of the Pollution Lord, rewarded with one lottery chance!】

The continuous sound of explosions disturbed the entire world.

Mixed with the Soul Snatching Envoy's roar of "You bully ghosts too much!", the Death Island, having been bombed repeatedly, finally settled down.

All the loot that dropped during this period was gathered up by the Navy.

"Four Family Tokens, a complete 【Soul Snatching Armor Set】, as well as two Resurrection Coins, fifteen Insight Pills, and Reward Points..."

A large group of Navy members left Death Island like a tide, guarding the Haijun Benbu Jidi strictly.

Vice Admiral Tsuru counted the spoils obtained and nodded with satisfaction;

adding the initial one, that made exactly five Family Tokens.

They could found a Navy family and directly upgrade the family to Level 2.

"Tsuru, do not hesitate, found the Marine Headquarters family directly!"

Sengoku's voice came through the Den Den Mushi;

those Pirates and the Revolutionary Army would absolutely not let this go, and if there was any hesitation, the Navy might be besieged.

"Understood."

Vice Admiral Tsuru held up the Family Token, and after activation, the token flew directly into the sky, shrouding the temporary base formed by the chains of the Navy Warship.

【Marine Headquarters Family】

Family Level: 1

Family Badge: None

Family Buildings: Clan Stele (if destroyed, the family dissolves), Level 1 Jiazu Chenqiang

Clan Head: Tsuru

Clan Official: None

Family Members: 1/200

Family Assets: 150,000 Reward Points.

Most of the Marine Headquarters' assets had been exhausted, with the remainder on the person of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

These family assets were the value of the Navy Warship.

"There are still four tokens, upgrade immediately!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru continued to hold up the Family Tokens, communicating with the Clan Stele,

【Do you wish to consume 4 Family Tokens to upgrade the family?】

"Yes."

The Clan Stele, which had originally taken root in the center of the warship, rapidly surged by dozens of meters, as massive as a small mountain peak.

The Family Territory was also expanding rapidly, capable of accommodating more buildings.

【Upgrade successful, Level 2 Family Shop opened.】

The most critical part is the Family Shop.

Inside, there are various goods related to the family, such as architectural blueprints, emblems, and so on.

"The power of the Family Badge is something I believe everyone has witnessed; I would like to use our assets first to purchase one Family Badge."

After a moment of contemplation, Vice Admiral Tsuru looked toward the high-ranking Navy officers.

"Agreed."

Smoker, Garp, and the others had no objections.

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded and said, "Everyone, contribute the Reward Points we just earned from killing the Soul Reaper; we will distribute them uniformly as family assets."

She was referring to the destructive attacks from the several Apollo bombs.

Since those were originally expenditures of the Marine Headquarters, it was only right that all the gains be recovered.

The high-ranking officers did not hesitate.

Having come this far, they were all grasshoppers tied to the same rope as the Marine Headquarters; only if the Marine Headquarters rose could they have a better future.

"Very well, a Second-Level Family can wear a Second Level Family Emblem."

Vice Admiral Tsuru felt expectant.

The First Level Family Emblem from Alabasta allowed clan members to master the quicksand ability of a ten-million-level Pirate; it was unclear how strong a Second Level Family Emblem would be.

Five First Level Family Emblems can be fused into one Second Level Family Emblem.

A full five hundred thousand.

Fortunately, after killing the Soul Reaper, they were able to obtain a large amount of Reward Points, a full seven hundred thousand.

【Fusion successful, congratulations on obtaining the 2nd Level Family Emblem 【Giant Strength】!】

A delicate giant pattern appeared on the family stele.

Vice Admiral Tsuru closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her previously thin body suddenly surged in size.

If she hadn't run out of the cabin and onto the deck in time, she would have burst right through the warship.

"I can transform into a Giant?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru wore a look of shock, clenched her fists, and covered both arms in Armament Haki.

She swung toward the ocean, directly blasting open a vortex dozens of meters wide.

"It's not just for show; I truly possess the power of the Giant Race, no... power that surpasses the ordinary Giant Race!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru evaluated in her heart.

Beside her, Garp suddenly became interested and jumped up, intending to hammer Tsuru's knee.

But Tsuru grabbed him with one hand, and he only broke free after Garp unleashed his Brawler power.

"This emblem can directly provide a Reinforcement of 20 points to the Strength attribute."

Vice Admiral Tsuru's physique gradually returned to normal as she stated the astonishing fact.

"Are you joking, Tsuru? My Strength attribute is only 63 even now; a single emblem can actually provide a Reinforcement of 20 points to the Strength attribute?"

The one speaking was Garp.

As a pure physical cultivator who had changed his class to Brawler, he had only just managed to break through 60 Strength after reaching Tier 1 Peak.

The others also looked over in disbelief.

Sakazuki's expression was uncertain as he said, "The Lava Mage class I redeemed does not increase the Strength attribute."

His strongest attribute was Constitution, 【45】.

Before the Samsara Game appeared, for most people in the Pirate World, if one of their attributes could break through 【40】 points, they could already be called a top-tier expert.

Now, the overall combat power of the Pirate World had undoubtedly been raised several times over.

Vice Admiral Tsuru said with excitement, "Clearly, the Samsara Game leans more toward a team combat mode, so the family attribute bonuses are very strong; this is the Navy's advantage!"

Just at this moment,

A Navy soldier ran along the chains to the main ship, his voice trembling as he reported, "Report! Pirate Emperor Hongfa Xiangkesi, Whitebeard Aidehua Niugaiti, and Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon... are all approaching!"
