Finally, Hawkeye chose two items, [Sword Seed] and [Bi Mang Swordplay], deciding to walk the path of a fantasy swordsman.
Biting off more than one can chew is not good.
Even with similar sword paths, the deeper one goes, the greater the differences, and in the end, it will only waste time.
"Thank you very much."
Hawkeye removed his feathered top hat, bowed slightly, and performed an elegant salute.
His arrogance was reserved only for the weak like Krieg; for existences like the Game Merchant, although he maintained his pride, he acknowledged and respected him from the bottom of his heart.
"A friendly reminder: if equipment and items cannot be soul-bound quickly, they will be locked."
Hawkeye thought of a crucial point and asked, "Mr. Fang Yi, are there many more of these Contracts?"
Previously, a Contract in the shape of a Devil Fruit had floated into his hand along the ocean currents.
To say there was only one Contract in the entire ocean would be too much of a coincidence.
Fang Yi nodded and smiled, "Of course, there should be tens of thousands of Contracts I've scattered across the East Blue. While it's impossible for everyone to complete the mission, soon there will be thousands of players in the game."
"Although in reality you are the strongest swordsman, if you don't work hard, you might soon be surpassed by young people."
Hearing Fang Yi's pointed words, Hawkeye not only didn't get nervous but instead showed an interested expression.
He curled his lips and said, "That, then, is precisely what I desire."
"This is the drawback of the sword path; the peak position is always narrow. If someone can surpass my sword path, even if they climb over my bones, I will bless them!"
This was his true thought.
The appearance of the Reincarnation Game would revitalize the stagnant ocean, and countless master swordsmen would surely emerge.
At that time, no one would know who would be the whetstone and who would be the true Great Swordsman.
"Hahahahahahaha…"
After a deep bow, Hawkeye turned and left.
Fang Yi watched his receding back with a smile, placing the bond on the shelf.
"Master."
Ah Fu appeared out of thin air, hovering beside Fang Yi, reporting, "Two hundred Contracts have already been activated. Half of those who picked up Contracts failed their missions. Is the mission difficulty a bit too high?"
If one ignored the Water-Water Meat, a white-haired, round-eyed, endearingly clumsy Ah Fu, who consumed his origin to create himself as soon as he arrived in the Pirate World, he looked like a little elf from a magic world.
"High?"
Fang Yi snatched the Water-Water Meat from her hand, tasted it, and confirmed it was delicious. He said, "If even a Contract Mission cannot be completed, recruiting such players into the Reincarnation Game would be a waste of origin."
The content of the Contract Mission was related to the strength of the Contract holder.
However, there were upper and lower limits to the mission difficulty.
For example, the Contract Mission given to Kebi was the lower limit: he had to defeat Alvida to receive the reward.
It was impossible for the Contract to give Kebi, a physically weak good-for-nothing, a foolish mission like eating a meal, drinking water, or cleaning.
For example, the mission given to Hawkeye after he picked up the Contract was merely to destroy Krieg's fleet; this was the upper limit of a Contract Mission.
It was impossible to directly assign a mission for Hawkeye to challenge the Five Elders.
Fang Yi sneered, "In the Ninja World, there's an insurmountable chasm between commoners and ninjas; Chakra ensures commoners cannot resist ninjas."
"And in the Pirate World, there's Whitebeard, who can cause tsunamis with his fists, and Crocodile, who can destroy countries."
"But there are also the Marines and pirates who can bridge the combat power gap between top experts and commoners, like the Baroque Works assassins, or some Marines who can't even shoot straight."
As long as one had ambition and brains, even an ordinary person could find a way to complete a Contract Mission.
Just like Kebi, defeating a pirate slightly stronger than an ordinary person.
If one couldn't even do that, not becoming a Reincarnation Game player was also a good thing.
"Oh."
Ah Fu nodded, half-understanding, feeling a bit deflated.
She was a dignified World Consciousness, yet she couldn't play any role at all; even her disappearance wouldn't affect her master's progress in hunting down sources of pollution. This sense of loss was truly hard to accept.
"Facts prove that neither the frail Kebi nor Hawkeye, who stands at the pinnacle of pirates, can resist the charm of the Reincarnation Game."
Fang Yi was very satisfied with this result.
Upon seeing power that could change one's destiny, one should rush forward without hesitation.
Unlike the ninjas on the neighboring server, who first thought about collecting intelligence and awaiting orders from their ninja villages, wasting a lot of time to become stronger.
Next,
It was time to wait for the Contracts to continue spreading. Once they fermented to a certain extent, the major powers would quickly be unable to sit still.
Suddenly,
Fang Yi sensed the presence of beings with rich origins near several Contracts.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a dynamic map of the East Blue appeared on the table.
Countless green dots represented the scattered Contracts, acting like radar devices, feeding back nearby life forms onto the map.
"Orange Town?"
Fang Yi's gaze fell on a corner of the East Blue map.
Several Contracts had collided with life forms containing origin within them, which should lead to something very interesting.
...
East Blue, Orange Town.
"Fire!"
The clown with the bright red nose, the captain of the Buggy Pirates, let out an angry roar.
Beside him, the pirate underlings, sweating profusely, quickly loaded the Baki Bomb, a cannonball capable of destroying the town, into the cannon.
Boom.
Accompanied by a violent explosion, a wide trench was blasted in the center of Orange Town by the cannonball.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed.
Amidst the ruins, four strangely shaped fruits lay in the trench blasted by the Baki Bomb.
"Quick!"
"Bring them to me at once!"
After clearly seeing the fruits in the trench, Buggy rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and as he yelled, one of his arms had already split off and flew rapidly towards the four fruits.
There was no mistake.
Devil Fruits, a full four of them!
Buggy felt like he was dreaming. He had originally intended to plunder Orange Town, but he hadn't expected the villagers to have learned the news early and fled completely.
Only a desolate, broken town remained.
Having prepared to find nothing, he unexpectedly discovered four Devil Fruits.
In fact,
The four Devil Fruits had drifted to shore along the ocean currents and were brought home by the villagers along with sea fish and fishing nets. Before they could even untangle the nets, they were scared away by the news of the pirate attack and went into hiding.
The sea fish were blown into minced meat, leaving only the fruits, protected by the Reincarnation Game's rules, perfectly intact.
"One Devil Fruit can sell for at least 100 million. I just got 400 million for free!"
The floating arm grabbed all four fruits and floated back to the rooftop where Buggy stood, seamlessly reattaching to his body.
"Huh…"
Buggy's face suddenly stiffened.
One of the fruits in his hand suddenly split open in the middle, revealing the Contract text inside.
He threw this one away.
Among the remaining three Devil Fruits, another one split open, revealing Contract text.
Repeating this, Buggy's face darkened, and he stomped his foot, yelling, "Damn it, who dares to fool Buggy-sama the Clown?!"
They weren't Devil Fruits; they were fakes!
He scanned the area with a sinister gaze, scaring the pirate underlings into lowering their heads.
"Nami, since you want to become a member of the Buggy Pirates, you must kill your former captain!"
As if finding an outlet for his frustration,
Buggy said viciously, extending his hand and pointing to the person locked in the cage.
Wearing a Straw Hat, a red vest, and sandals, he looked like a farmer who had run out of some village.
The top and bottom of the cage were hard rock, and thick iron bars surrounded it; an ordinary person would be unable to escape.
At this moment,
Straw Hat Luffy was tightly squeezing through the gaps in the iron cage, his cheeks distorted from the pressure, his arm constantly reaching forward through the cage's opening.
He grabbed the fake Devil Fruit that Buggy had discarded and put it into his mouth without even looking.
