"The Pirate World is very special."
Fang Yi picked up the bond signed with Kebi's name and casually tossed it onto the shelf.
Unlike the Ninja World,
the essence of the Pirate World mostly condenses in Devil Fruits. Besides Devil Fruits, it inherently condenses in life forms with good soul potential.
It's not like the Ninja World, where when life is born, unless a bloodline family naturally possesses the original power of a Bloodline Limit, the remaining ninjas are not born with original power. They all need to constantly cultivate, learn Ninja Art, and so on, to continuously strengthen their essence after mastering these Ninja Art.
In the Pirate World, however, life is born with essence, and this essence determines whether you can become a strong person.
For example, Kebi,
despite being very weak and still working as a handyman in the Alvida Pirates at this time, he already possesses the essence that will allow him to awaken Observation Haki, master the Marine Six Styles, and techniques like Fist Bone in the future.
The essence is like being locked in a box and will emerge as Kebi continuously cultivates.
Another example is Guina from Shimotsuki Village,
despite her astonishing sword talent, capable of steadily suppressing a young Zoro, she tripped on stairs and died in the Pirate World, where everyone is a blood tank.
Only because she didn't have enough essence within her.
If the Ninja World is tinged with some fatalism,
then the Pirate World is thorough fatalism!
Sensing the reward points dropping rapidly, Ah Fu asked, "Master."
"So that's how it is."
After a while, Fang Yi, who had finished probing the core of the Pirate World, opened his eyes and smiled, "What a ridiculous world."
Ah Fu asked in confusion, "Ridiculous?"
Fang Yi showed a strange smile and said, "Have you heard of the ladder system in competitive games, where winners plunder points from losers to climb to higher positions?"
The bumpkin Ah Fu shook his head repeatedly.
"In the Pirate World, during every life-and-death battle, the essence of the loser will be taken by the winner."
"Therefore, there are the Grand Line and the New World, and there are several sea routes, like a beast fight, allowing pirates to slaughter each other, and finally, the emerging Supernovas compete."
"Gecko Moria lost to Kaido and ended up in the Florian Triangle…"
It was indeed a plot kill.
Just like a plot directed by the Pirate World.
Essence is the fuel they need to become stronger. Losing essence means losing the chance to compete for the championship trophy, unless they continue to burn, kill, and plunder, taking others' essence.
It's like raising Gu worms, eventually cultivating the Gu King with the strongest and highest quality essence.
Sun God Nika?
Fang Yi smiled; this was why he was willing to lend to Kebi.
As long as the Contract is signed, even if Kebi dies, the essence locked within him will not be reclaimed by the consciousness of the Pirate World but will be drawn into the Reincarnation Game by the Contract.
"It seems the consciousness of the Pirate World is not at peace…"
"The arrival of the Reincarnation Game will eventually tear apart this grand stage play, and all pirates who become players will regain the chance to control their own destinies."
"Starting from the East Blue."
…
"Run… run!"
"Useless fellows, hurry up and sail the ship!"
More than a dozen giant pirate ships, with broken masts and torn, thick sails, swayed precariously on the vast sea.
Krieg hid behind his crew in disarray, trying to minimize his presence.
It was hard to imagine that he, hailed as the overlord of the East Blue by countless pirates, would encounter a monster capable of destroying his grand fleet upon his first entry into the Grand Line.
Seven days.
Is this the terror of the Grand Line?
Not far away,
a single-person boat, resembling a coffin, followed the giant pirate ships unhurriedly.
Gothic patterns decorating the mast like a cross, black canvas, and two candles burning with eerie green flames gave it a sinister and strange atmosphere.
A man in a black trench coat and a white felt hat sat idly on the boat.
A pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle's fell on the pirate ships ahead.
"Is this all the East Blue pirates are capable of?"
Hawkeye retracted his gaze, a hint of disappointment and boredom in his eyes.
He happened to see the Krieg Pirates from the East Blue and wanted to test the capabilities of the new generation of pirates, but he was greatly disappointed.
Suddenly,
a fruit floating along the ocean current bobbed up and down, eventually rolling onto the coffin ship.
"A Devil Fruit?"
Hawkeye was surprised, picking up the strangely shaped fruit.
As a world-class Claymore, he had naturally seen countless Devil Fruits.
But most of them appeared as goods in auction houses, prizes in gladiatorial arenas, or treasures in pirate crew vaults. This was the first time he had encountered an ownerless fruit drifting along the ocean.
Interesting.
Compared to the terrified and fleeing Krieg Pirates, Hawkeye found this Devil Fruit more intriguing.
"Paramecia, Logia, Zoan?"
Hawkeye played with the somewhat strange Devil Fruit with interest.
Although it had intricate patterns, it was different from ordinary Devil Fruits; the patterns looked like a special kind of writing.
The next second,
the patterns on the fruit's surface, like writing, seemed to come alive, twisting and writhing. A crack appeared on the fruit, tearing open from the center and turning into a strange scroll.
Contract Mission (1/5)
Mission Content: Destroy one of the Krieg Pirates' subordinate ships.
Mission Reward: Lv.1 newbie iron sword (White)
Hint: Complete five bounty missions to become a Reincarnation Game newbie player.
A memory suddenly appeared in his mind, like an old event that had been sealed away for a long time and was suddenly recalled.
Devil Contract,
After completing the mission, one could become a player in the Reincarnation Game. Wealth, power, fame, everything could be obtained, as long as one had enough reward points to exchange for them.
"What a strange Devil Fruit ability."
Hawkeye simply regarded it as a peculiar Devil Fruit ability.
After all, the Pirate World has countless Devil Fruits, and similarly, countless strange abilities. Some fruit abilities can even ignore Haki.
Just like now,
Boom.
Hawkeye's body suddenly erupted with terrifying aura, even raising waves several feet high.
The Contract scroll remained perfectly intact.
"How interesting."
Hawkeye reached out and pulled out the small knife from his pendant, gently lifting his top hat with the hilt, revealing his eyes, which showed a hint of curiosity.
He was merely passing the time.
The Krieg Pirates failed to satisfy him, but he hoped the mysterious person who dared to interfere with his abilities could bring him a surprise.
He raised his arm, then swung his sword.
A casually swung shockwave directly carved a deep mark into the sea, striking the fleeing subordinate ship.
Crack.
The sturdy ship, specially built by Krieg to navigate the Grand Line, was split in two by a sword slash from a palm-wide small knife.
It slowly sank.
Mission Complete, Reward Issued
Hawkeye remained expressionless, still holding his sword-swinging posture, as if he had simply sliced a fruit.
An ordinary-looking iron sword appeared out of thin air on his coffin ship.
"No… aura?"
The World's Greatest Claymore's Observation Haki couldn't even sense how this iron sword appeared?
Hawkeye picked up the iron sword, a rare hint of solemnity appearing in his eyes.
