On the first floor of the Pitch-Black Giant Tower,
The tightly sealed tower gate suddenly opened, and a strong wind, mixed with an ominous aura, swept in all directions, raising hundreds of meters high waves, almost turning the sea into a deep trench.
Fortunately, an invisible barrier blocked the spreading gale.
Otherwise, all the ships present would have been swept into the seabed, becoming a pile of debris.
Looking at the vortex-like teleportation gate,
Everyone went crazy, steering their ships and rushing into the bottom of the giant tower.
"It's Hawkeye!"
Two pirate ships, carried by the current, were almost touching.
Then, a coffin-shaped ship with a cross for a mast followed behind, and Hawkeye sat on it, his gaze sharp.
"Run! Don't provoke the world's greatest swordsman!"
The pirates exclaimed, hastily trying to clear the path in the current for Hawkeye to enter the tower first.
But suddenly, someone noticed something was off.
A light screen panel appeared before their eyes, displaying the four-dimensional attributes and skill bar of their game body.
The two pirate captains exchanged glances, revealing shocked expressions, and said, "Is it the same for you? The force of your sword swings has weakened?"
The Pitch-Black Giant Tower seemed to have a restrictive ability; all players approaching the Trial Tower would have their strength weakened to the same level.
Only skills and powers obtained through contracts were retained.
They looked around,
And when they saw that all players were in the same situation as them, their hearts immediately settled, and their gazes towards Hawkeye changed from fear to malice.
"Even if he's a Great Swordsman, he can't be stronger than me. How dare he be so arrogant?"
Watching the coffin ship getting closer and closer,
The two pirate captains exchanged glances, and the same thought arose: reduce the competition.
Hawkeye, is it?
The world's greatest Claymore, is it?
Now that everyone is on the same level, how dare he charge at our pirate ships alone? He clearly doesn't put us in his eyes.
"Mountain Splitter!"
"Bone Carver!"
Two skills, imbued with faint light, struck towards Hawkeye.
Hawkeye also noticed the change in his game body; the Black Blade Night on his back was unusable. He pulled out the newbie iron sword from his equipment slot.
[Bi Mang Swordplay].
Originating from the previously purchased destiny item [Bi Mang Swordplay], it included swordsmanship and sword moves that, when cultivated to the extreme, allowed each swing of the blade to unleash waves of soul-scorching Bi Mang Sword Qi.
Hawkeye's attack was cunning and ruthless.
A blazing green sword qi, like a burning flame, flew diagonally and struck the two men, the flames scorching them, causing both to wail.
Meanwhile, the skills released by the two were skillfully dodged by him.
At the top of the Pitch-Black Giant Tower, Fang Yi shook his head slightly and sighed, "Although Hawkeye's [Bi Mang Swordplay] is a purple skill, stronger than the two pirate captains' blue skills, its intensity gap isn't enough to instantly kill them before it's upgraded."
The higher the skill quality, the stronger the attributes gained upon upgrading.
When skills are below Lv.5, the difference in skill values is not as great as imagined.
The two pirate captains being instantly killed was purely due to the difference in combat experience and technique.
To reach the pinnacle of the world's greatest Claymore, the battles and skirmishes Hawkeye had experienced were simply incomparable to what ordinary pirates, who roamed the East Blue all day, could hope to match or challenge.
Half a minute later, a white halo flashed.
The two pirate captains nervously touched the places where they had been struck by the sword qi, finding them completely unharmed.
"There's no real death within the Trial Tower's domain, but the resurrection cost is millions of Beri!"
The two shivered, looking at Hawkeye's back, their hearts aching for the reward points needed for resurrection.
Not just near Hawkeye,
Throughout the entire Trial Tower area, chaotic fights erupted, everyone trying to eliminate their competitors early.
When it was discovered that the slain could not truly die, this chaotic fighting temporarily ceased, and everyone rushed into the tower gate, successfully landing on the first floor's giant island.
"Isn't that Nami?"
The Fish-Man Arlong revealed a disgusting smile, opening his slimy purple arms, and said, "Hurry back! The Arlong Pirates really need a cadre like you to help us hunt monsters and win chances to draw from the Lucky Roulette!"
Not far away was a pitifully small boat.
Luffy and Zoro were squeezed at the stern, leaving the helm at the bow to the beautiful orange-haired girl.
"Arlong?!"
Nami's pupils suddenly constricted, and her heart skipped a beat.
Every time she saw that disgusting face, the pain and oppression she had suffered over the years resurfaced.
Her forced membership in the Arlong Pirates, her murdered mother, her threatened villagers—everything felt like a heavy stone pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.
Arlong let out a piercing laugh, saying, "I thought a cadre of the Arlong Pirates had forgotten what her captain looks like?"
He shifted his gaze to the dazed Luffy and the seemingly not-so-bright Zoro, sneering, "These two unlucky fellows, are they your new targets for deception? They don't look very rich."
"So cool, a talking fish!"
Luffy held down his Straw Hat with one hand to prevent it from being blown away by the sea breeze, his eyes fixed on Arlong's saw-like shark nose.
Snap.
Arlong's face was filled with anger, and his wide fish-man webbed hand instantly crushed the pirate ship's railing, sending splinters into the sea.
His expression turned sinister as he said, "Hey, Nami, kill them!"
Having lorded over the East Blue for many years, no one had ever dared to stare at him so directly, as if he were some peculiar species.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
It reminded him of some unpleasant memories from Fish-Man Island.
"I refuse."
Nami regained her composure, her face equally cold.
She was no longer the little girl who would lie in the chartroom, only crying helplessly and praying to be saved by others.
Now, she was a Reincarnation Game player capable of defeating Buggy, a pirate with a bounty of tens of millions.
She no longer needed to accumulate Beri to fulfill that ridiculously absurd promise.
She only needed to rely on her own hands to defeat Arlong and save Cocoyasi Village.
"Is that so?"
Arlong's face darkened, and he cruelly laughed, "Are you trying to betray the Arlong Pirates? Then I can't guarantee that I won't do something bad to Cocoyasi Village."
As if just remembering, he lightly clapped his hands and added, "Oh, I just remembered, it seems that Captain Nezumi of the Marine branch ran to Cocoyasi Village to investigate stolen goods from a thief…"
What he liked to see most was the expression of despair on human faces.
Desperately trying to fulfill a promise, working hard to collect Beri in the East Blue, only to have it all confiscated at the last moment—that scene should make his cadre collapse and cry bitterly, right?
Thinking of this, Arlong's cruel smile widened even further.
Buzz.
Nami was expressionless. She raised her hand, and a magical energy bolt, like a Star Bullet, shot out.
[Magic Creation: Electro Eel].
A small snake, crackling with electricity, swiftly flew out, coiling around the magic star bullet. Magical alchemy was completed in an instant, merging to form an improved magic star bullet.
In a blink of an eye, a streak of electric light shot directly towards Arlong, colliding with him.
Sizzle, sizzle.
Without even time to react, Arlong was hit by the improved magic star bullet, his entire body enveloped in lightning, twitching and trembling uncontrollably.
Instant kill.
Within the Trial Tower's domain, Arlong, without his fish-man body advantage, was instantly killed by Nami's single attack.
"From beginning to end, I was never a member of the Arlong Pirates. Vile fish-man pirate, go to hell and repent!"
