Chapter 33: The Soul-Snatching Trial Ground

"No one can see me..."

Nami narrowed her eyes, muttering to herself.

She was still young and didn't want to die for no reason, so she waited for the two sides to start fighting so she could find a chance to slip away.

But after waiting for a long time, unexpectedly, she heard no sounds of slaughter.

Her eyeballs shifted quietly, and she happened to meet Fang Yi's gaze, which gave her a jolt of fright.

Fang Yi didn't say a word for a long time.

Outlook was so frightened that he felt regret in his heart; he shouldn't have been so reckless. What if he had angered this mysterious Giant?

The Black Cat Pirates were equally uneasy.

Fang Yi withdrew his gaze and said to everyone: "I am a game merchant from another dimension, inviting you to participate in the Samsara Game. If you are unwilling, you may leave at any time."

With a wave of his palm,

whether they were Nobles or Pirates, or even the laborers, shipwrights, and merchants, and even the lowliest slaves locked in shackles, a translucent screen appeared before everyone's eyes simultaneously.

Black text flowed slowly; even for slaves who were illiterate, the content of the text would jump into their minds.

Hunting Pollution Monster, Reward Point, a Game Mall that can exchange for all items...

Upon finishing the black text, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"How is this possible? Can I even become a Celestial Dragon if I want to?"

"Absurd! Even the treasure of the Pirate King Roger has more credibility than this Samsara Game!"

"Devil Fruit, Famous Blade, Swordmaster Swordsmanship, Navy Body Arts..."

The items Fang Yi prepared for them were all exchanges from the Pirate World to make them easier to understand.

The slaves were dazed and ignorant, but the Pirates and Nobles were secretly shocked.

The Pirates were shocked because of the Devil Fruit and the valuable experience of various powerhouses, while the Nobles were staring at one of the exchange options, their eyes filled with shock.

"Even... the Celestial Dragon Bloodline can be exchanged?!"

As a Noble, Outlook knew better than anyone the privileges possessed by the Celestial Dragons, who could run rampant across the Si Hai and command violent institutions like the Navy Headquarters.

They could initiate a Buster Call and destroy an island.

"Truly insane. Even the Giant Race wouldn't dare to blaspheme the Celestial Dragons like this. Are they not afraid of being wiped out?"

Outlook felt that the mysterious Giant before him was definitely an outlaw.

Was he not afraid of the Marine Admiral?

As for whether it was true or false, Outlook naturally did not believe it; everyone knew that the Celestial Dragons were the descendants of the creators, and only nineteen families lived in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Every Celestial Dragon possessed extremely strict vetting and identity verification; it was simply impossible to impersonate one.

Nami had the same thought, thinking to herself: "Whether it's navigation skills, high-tech warships, or a special constitution that can sense the rhythm of the ocean, it all sounds like a fairy tale from Mont Blanc Noland."

Furthermore,

one hundred thousand Beli were actually required to exchange for just one Reward Point.

Nami did not know the mysterious Giant's name, but if he wanted her to give him a nickname, she would never be stingy with words like "greedy for money."

Making her spend money was simply murder!

Most players did not believe it, but a small number of players holding a skeptical attitude proceeded to exchange.

"It's actually real, my arm has actually grown back..."

A pirate shouted in surprise, attracting the attention of those around him.

He was a minnow from the Black Cat Pirates; he had no treasure, so he chose to exchange his own ability.

The Inferior Swordsmanship, judged as a skill by the Game Mall, was worth 15 Reward Points.

There weren't many items he could buy, so he chose the Life Recovery Potion. After drinking it, he discovered that the arm he had lost in a battle had miraculously grown back.

This special situation made the hearts of the players who witnessed the arm growing back pound wildly.

Limb regeneration.

In a world with healing abilities, this was not rare.

But the technology tree of the Pirate World was very twisted; there were black-tech mechs comparable to pirates with bounties over one hundred million, yet even technology like limb regeneration had not appeared.

Powerhouses as strong as the Four Emperors, Red-Haired and Whitebeard—one had a severed arm, and the other was lingering on with an IV drip.

Fang Yi guessed it might have something to do with Haki.

The stronger the life form, the stronger the Armament Haki they cultivated, and the stronger their physique became; this was also the reason why everyone in the Pirate World had a tank-like constitution.

Because their physiques were strong, the difficulty of recovering from diseases and limb injuries was higher.

"Intermediate Life Recovery Potion, ten Reward Points per bottle; in the Ninja World, it can pull a Chunin back from a near-death state."

"After being drunk by the Pirate Palu, the effect is actually equivalent to that of a Chunin?"

One must know that Palu was just a small fry in the Black Cat Pirates; if placed in front of a Chunin, even a Chunin from a small Ninja Village could easily finish him off.

The gap in strength was very large.

Fang Yi locked his gaze on one of the players, observing the other's attribute panel.

Two seconds later, he revealed a look that confirmed his suspicions.

"No wonder it's like this..."

Each point of constitution attribute for humans in the Pirate World could increase life by twenty points, while humans in the Ninja World could only increase it by ten points.

And when switched to Agility attributes, each point of Agility for Pirate humans could only increase movement speed by 3 points and neural reaction by 5 points... while the movement speed and neural reaction of Ninja humans were twice as high.

Because of the world differences, although both were human, the essential difference between Pirate players and Ninja players was very large.

Humans in the Pirate World were tanks, with thick blood and high defense.

Humans in the Ninja World were assassins, with high attack and high Agility.

Fang Yi's mouth curled slightly, thinking to himself: "In that case, the battles and slaughter of Pirate players won't be resolved as quickly as those of ninjas, but will be wars of attrition."

What is a war of attrition fought over?

Blue potions, red potions, stamina potions!

Just like the battle between Luffy and Rob Lucci in the original work at Enies Lobby; in the end, what they were competing over was stamina and physical condition.

Ultimately, even with the mastery of Life Return, the Ordinary Zoan still could not defeat the Mythical Zoan Sun God and ended up defeated.

But if Rob Lucci had purchased a large amount of red and blue potions and fought Luffy head-on by chugging potions, the one who fell in the end would definitely have been Luffy.

What if Luffy didn't want to lose?

Simple!

The doors of the Game Mall are always open; if you want to win, chug potions. The vast majority of battles will eventually turn into a competition of red and blue potion reserves.

"A Fu, increase the selling price of all potions in the Pirate World Mall by forty percent."

"Yes, Master."

The White-haired Loli stood behind him, watching Fang Yi's sinister smile, and felt a bit of a chill.

Her master was truly full of bad intentions.

Fortunately, there was a kind-hearted World Consciousness like her at home praying and blessing him every day.

The White-haired Loli clasped her hands together in her heart, imitating worlds with flourishing faiths, and prayed to the Universe Consciousness, hoping that the great Universe Consciousness would protect her master so he would not fall into Hell because of the players' curses.

"Lucky ones, you are the first batch of players for the Samsara Game."

Seeing that most of the players had already begun to believe in the authenticity of the Samsara Game, Fang Yi spread his arms and smiled: "Next, you will undergo the Novice Trial."

"In this Shilianchang, there are five hundred Pollution Monsters, as well as buried reward items. The top twenty players will each receive a Novice Gift Pack."

"Go, only your own hands can grasp your destiny!"
