Chapter 341: The Five Strongest Defensive Gears After the Game Update

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was dumbfounded; he had been worried that the rewards were too low and that few players would be willing to accept the mercenary mission, never expecting them to be snatched up in an instant.

There was even a master with 【1300】 combat power.

Upon second thought, he suddenly realized.

For the Demon Slayer Corps family, a 【Family Defense Battle】 like this might be a disaster that could cause the family monument to be destroyed.

However, for other players, especially those with relatively strong power, it was a feast.

Compared to slowly hunting monsters within the Dangerous Region of 【Arad】,

the number of monsters in the defense battle was greater, and the drops were far more abundant.

"Thinking about it this way, the Demon Slayer Corps doesn't even need to pay rewards; it's all my fault for not understanding the Samsara Game well enough..."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki sighed helplessly, filled with regret.

【The Family Defense Battle is about to begin, please prepare for battle, players!】

With only ten minutes left until the battle began, beams of light were teleported into the courtyard of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters,

including all members Yaozai had pulled into the family, Tanjiro, the Nine Pillars, the previous generation of Pillars serving as trainers, and Demon Slayer Corps members with relatively high potential.

On the other side were the otherworldly players who had accepted the mercenary mission.

The most conspicuous was a tall figure, like an iron tower, holding a massive blade in his hand.

The crescent-like white beard highlighted his identity.

The Emperor of the Pirate World, Whitebeard.

"Thank you all for being able to come to the Demon Slayer Continent to help the Demon Slayer Corps family resist the Pollution Monster."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and greeted the otherworldly players with a smile.

This was the poise he possessed as the Leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

However,

when his gaze fell upon Whitebeard, he could not help but pause.

【Whitebeard】: 1480 combat power.

Gulp...

Kagaya Ubuyashiki could not help but swallow his saliva;

the combat power was actually even higher than the Navy Garp he had just seen.

A player's combat power is not accumulated according to normal circumstances; for example, having 【400】 combat power does not mean that one can defeat a player with 【800】 combat power just by having double the strength.

Players who can reach four-digit combat power

are rare existences throughout the entire Samsara Game.

"Garp?"

After Whitebeard nodded slightly toward the Leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, he saw that figure standing in the center of several Navy members.

He immediately frowned.

Garp naturally noticed the eye-catching Whitebeard as well, his mouth curling up as he laughed in response: "Old man, you're not dead yet?"

He was referring to how, not long ago, the Whitebeard Pirates were besieged by the Celestial Dragon forces, with hundreds of Pacifistas reinforced by the game, as well as Im personally taking action,

which nearly forced Whitebeard into a desperate situation.

Whitebeard also laughed continuously and said: "If you're not dead, how could I die first?"

The situation at Marine Headquarters was also not easy, caught between the wicked Pirates and the Adventurer Guild;

as the popular target that had taken advantage of the situation to accumulate the most game assets in the Pirate World, the force often encountered sneak attacks and looting from pirates and ambitious individuals, suffering no small losses.

"Are they actually at odds?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki helplessly covered his head;

looking at Whitebeard's attire, he was a typical pirate, and that old man in the cape called himself Navy, so they were naturally like fire and water.

He hoped they wouldn't interfere with the Family Defense Battle.

"Remnant of the old era, welcome my greeting, eat my fist!"

Garp leaped high and swung his Iron Fist toward Whitebeard.

This was the way Pirate people greeted each other: overbearing and direct; if one couldn't even take the greeting, then they had no qualifications to continue interacting.

"Garp, you are no match for me!"

Whitebeard's aura soared, the surrounding space began to groan and crack inch by inch, his cape fluttered without wind, and he swung his blade to meet the attack. Bang.

Under the shocked gazes of countless Demon Slayer Corps members and otherworldly players, the fist and the blade collided.

A hurricane roared, the entire mountain range shook, and wisteria flowers drifted like rain.

If it weren't for the protection of the game rules covering the fixed range of the Family Territory, most players would have been blown away by the aftermath of the battle.

Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku widened his eyes and said loudly: "So strong, is this... the battle between players?"

No wonder that after Gyomei Himejima became a player, he was able to easily defeat the combined efforts of the other Pillar-level Swordsmen in just half a month.

They had thought the Stone Hashira was already strong enough, but seeing the collision between Whitebeard and Garp, they realized how erroneous their previous judgment of the strong was.

"Even without a Nichirin Sword, could this kind of strength directly smash Muzan Kibutsuji to death?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki thought with envy.

Bang.

The collision between the two ended with Garp flying backward.

Garp, who rolled dozens of times, climbed up as if nothing had happened and said enviously: "You actually have four pieces of 【Dark Elf】 armor?"

In battles between players, powerful equipment occupies a great advantage.

The 【Flame Forest】 armor that can be exchanged at Linus near the Grand Forest,

the 【Frost Snow Mountain】 armor, the treasure of the Bantu tribe at the foot of the Ten Thousand Year Snow Mountain, and the 【Magic Ocean】 armor produced near the Sky Sea.

The 【Ten Thousand Qi】 armor of the Suju Empire, as well as the 【Dark Elf】 armor that Dark City exchanged from the Dark Elf race.

These are the five strongest sets of armor in the entire Reincarnation Space currently, following the game update.

They correspond to the five safe towns of 【Arad】.

The exchange requirements are difficult;

not only does it require a large amount of Pollution Crystals dropped by Pollution Monsters, but one must also raise their contribution to the town capable of crafting that armor to an extremely high level by constantly completing missions.

A complete set of armor can provide 【1500】 Combat Power.

The reason Orochimaru is able to dominate the top of the Combat Power Ranking even now,

is partly because he has gathered the 【Magic Ocean】 armor.

Whitebeard laughed mockingly: "I happened to find the alchemy notes of the Chief Alchemist 【Morgan】 in the Shallow Habitat for the Dark Elf race, and got a piece of Dark Elf armor directly. Idiot Garp, are you jealous?"

The five strongest armor sets are all of Silver quality.

Not only can one freely choose the 【Reinforcement Attribute】, but after gathering the full set, it comes with special equipment effects.

Whitebeard chose the 【Blood Attribute】; after gathering the complete armor, it can enhance his Crimson Troll Bloodline and abilities related to the Blood Attribute by a full fifty percent.

Even if not fully gathered, each piece can still enhance them by five percent.

"Hmph, gear-scrub!"

Garp shook his numb fist,

glanced at the lonely 【Magic Ocean】 breastplate in his equipment slot, and felt sour inside.

As old rivals who have disliked each other since the old era, both have experienced several great battles, whether inside the game map or in the real world.

They are clear about each other's abilities.

Whitebeard's core ability 【Crimson Troll (Lv. 30)】 and his own 【Brawler (Lv. 31)】 game ratings are both 【1000】 Combat Power.

They are evenly matched.

If it weren't for the equipment advantage, he would not lose to a mere remnant Pirate of the old era.

【Family Defense Battle starting!】

Hint: This family battlefield is 【Tier 1】, the Lord Monster 【Magic Wing Dragon】 has a Combat Power rating of 600. To avoid malicious resource snatching, your Combat Power has been restricted to 【600】. Have a pleasant game! Black game text appeared before Garp's eyes,

and he felt countless invisible chains balancing and sealing his four-dimensional attributes, skills, equipment, and various item abilities.

It is not that they cannot be used, but the overall power has been reduced.

He glanced at Whitebeard not far away,

and looking at the other's expression, he was likely suffering from the same weakening.

It is just like the 【Soul Snatcher】 whose strength was imprisoned in the East Blue game of the Pirate World back then.

"No matter how many times, I am still shocked by the terrifying power of the game merchant, like a God."
