Chapter 161 Akainu: We can only sacrifice the navy!
This is a reasonable guess.

There are indeed many devil fruits that are very weak at first, but can become stronger by constantly exploiting others.

The most classic one is the Queen of the Kingdom of Torant, the user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, who can create a kingdom composed of countless Homies by wantonly depriving others of their vitality and souls.

There is also Gekko Moriah, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who constantly collects shadows to create special areas like the terrifying triangular mast.

"The fruit of the game merchant is likely to be a similar fruit that is more powerful than the Shadow Fruit and the Soul Soul Fruit!"

Akainu said in a heavy tone, "First, we will use deception to give the pirates all kinds of skills and equipment, and finally deprive them of all their power, and use countless pirates as nutrients to strengthen ourselves!"

"This is a devil fruit that is powerful enough to threaten the world. The threat level is even greater than that of Rocks back then."

“I suggest that game merchants must be nipped in the bud in advance!”

Murderous.

This is the "complete justice" that Akainu implements. Anything that has the potential to become evil and threaten the navy and the stability of the world will be cruelly suppressed and killed with ruthless means.

"be opposed to."

A vice admiral raised an objection, saying, "If we act rashly against the game merchants as you inferred, Admiral Akainu, it is very likely that the people who have become contractors will be harmed."

This kind of fruit ability that grants power often comes with a curse-like means.

The fruit of the contract.

Since it is possible to grant positive contracts, why can't it be possible to grant curse contracts?
In the East China Sea branch, at least hundreds of navy players have become contracted players. If they offend the game merchants, what if they take out their anger on the navy players?
"Sacrifice them!"

Akainu said grimly: "If sacrificing hundreds of marines can maintain world peace, then their death is worth it."

"The moment they became marines, it meant that they had already put life and death aside. Just like when they were fighting pirates, would they run away because they were afraid of sacrifice?"

"If I encounter a navy who sympathizes with pirates and only hides behind them to watch the show when facing pirates, and then jumps out when the navy has a chance to counterattack and kill the unstable factors, and angrily denounces the so-called sacrifice, this kind of deserter will definitely be beaten to death by my magma fists!"

As a naval admiral, the aura he exuded was so strong that the lieutenant admirals could not help but sit up straight.

"Akainu!"

Zhan Guo was not affected by this momentum at all. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "You are too arbitrary. Even the Five Elders did not directly issue an order to arrest the game merchants. If the Navy Headquarters exceeds this order, how will it explain to the World Government?"

He also vaguely agreed with Akainu's statement.

The danger must be nipped in the bud in the bud ahead of time, but who would have thought that the Five Elders would suddenly issue an order that was completely opposite to their usual attitude.

Under normal circumstances, the Five Elders would certainly not tolerate game merchants disrupting the world.

What’s going on? Is it simply because of the Celestial Dragon Buggy?
Zhan Guo was also troubled, but everything was still under control. He said, "Lieutenant General He has already gone to the East China Sea. He will make a decision after testing the strength of the game merchants and reporting to the Five Elders."

He is not worried that the game merchants will be able to turn the tables.

In this sea, there are great pirates who are able to rule their own territory, and there are also revolutionary armies lurking in secret.

But the strongest force in the open is still the Navy Headquarters.

He has the three admirals with the strongest natural fruits, his own self in the Buddha's Warring States period, Garp with the Iron Fist, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea who were recruited here.

There are also the Five Elders whose strength is unfathomable.

Even Whitebeard, known as the strongest man in the world, dares not touch the tiger's whiskers of the Marine Headquarters. They are the most powerful and unstoppable force in this ocean.

Even if the game merchant really has special means, he can become stronger in this way.

Can it be stronger than the Navy Headquarters?
It's nothing more than paying a greater price. Now it depends on when the Five Elders will issue an order to arrest the game merchants.

However, continuing to allow pirates and civilians to become contractors is not a solution.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Zhan Guo issued an order.

"Send the headquarters navy to the East China Sea to search for the contract fruit. It is strictly forbidden to use the fruit unless there are special circumstances." "Capture the pirates and civilians who have become contract players."

"The navy that has become a contract player will be closely monitored. If there are any problems, they can be directly arrested or..."

These orders will undoubtedly cause an uproar.

Especially the last one, focusing on monitoring the contracted players of the navy will greatly shake the morale of the army, but if this is not done, the navy will be infiltrated by game merchants, and the destructive power will be even more serious.

This was the safest measure he could think of.

Nearly ten thousand contracted players were madly pushing inward along the edge of the Death Island.

The weapons and equipment dropped by the ghosts after their death are like the treasures and Baileys found when looting civilians, which make them fall into an endless and crazy hunt.

But compared to civilians, these ghosts are more aggressive and more difficult to deal with.

But the rewards are also greater.

After some pirates got the dropped equipment, they recalled the time when they robbed civilians and found it so boring.

After much effort to break through the village guards and then plundering every household, they could only get a few million berries at most.

But the equipment dropped by these ghosts are indeed real and strange equipment. After wearing them, one can become visibly stronger, and the feeling of power surging up is something no one can resist.

"Luffy, get back here!"

Nami's fair and soft face had a ferocious expression as if she could eat someone.

She looked angrily at Luffy who rushed into a group of ghosts, and quickly waved the magic broom. Large pieces of ice powder flew around, slowing down the ghosts' attack movements.

Then I saw Luffy raising his fists high, with light blue fist energy lingering around, like a pair of boxing gloves.

Rubber machine gun!

The two arms quickly stretched out and continuously hit the frozen ghosts, turning them into shattered smoke.

He really couldn't adapt to fighting without the Rubber Fruit, so he pestered Nami to lend him reward points so that he could unlock the ability of the Rubber Fruit.

The Lv.1 rubber fruit is not as flexible as before, but it is barely enough.

Although the fist skill is passive, it is powerful enough.

The piercing power, hardness, etc. of the fist have all been greatly improved. In just one day, Luffy has been upgraded to level 3.

With his ghost energy skills, Zoro is now able to mix in the power of ghosts and gods when slashing.

Only Nami,

I felt like I was on a pirate ship.

Zoro fights with all his might, and Luffy is also not smart enough. He often rushes into a group of ghosts during a fight, and then there is a flash of white light.

The two got reward points from hunting ghosts, and after making up for the resurrection costs, there was not much left.

If you want to improve your skills, you have to keep your eyes on your pockets.

At first, Nami was very happy to be able to lend money to the two of them and earn interest.

But I feel something is wrong more and more. With the way they are doing things, not only will I have to pay the interest, I may even lose my principal.

"Stupid Luffy, stupid Zoro!"

"If I see you charging into a group of ghosts again, don't even think about taking a reward point from me!"
