Chapter 177 The Soul-Catcher Who Violated the Rules of the Game
"Is this a lord monster?"

The fluff of countless giant hearts, like tree roots deep underground, continues to spread towards the center.

Bucky retreated again and again.

The ice-blue bullet was fired, and the tree-root-like hair was only frozen for a few seconds before it broke free from the frozen state.

The Buggy Pirates had no time to retreat, and several pirates were instantly entangled, making sucking sounds, and were sucked into shriveled human skins.

"Get out of the way!"

Hawkeye drew out the black knife and swung the scorching flaming sword energy at the tree roots.

In a flash,

Countless tree roots were cut off, and green flames burned into the ground.

"Something's wrong, the heart is just the outer shell, the real lord monster is inside!"

Hawkeye leaped high into the air and unleashed his most powerful slash.

The emerald green flaming sword qi actually condensed into the shape of a skeleton, which suddenly bit the giant heart.

The sword energy seed in his body has risen to Lv.14.

The waving sword energy has gradually merged with a trace of will and spirit, which is the sword intent.

boom.

A deep skull-shaped hole appeared in the huge heart that was as big as a town. Blood gushed out and it was quickly repaired.

not far away,
Zoro, who was about to run towards Hawkeye, suddenly stopped.

"How can it be!"

Looking at the scorching slash that seemed to melt the air,
Zoro's eyes widened.

Just now he also swung three knives, attacking the heart, but he couldn't even cut the weakest fascia and blood vessels.

I knew that there was a gap between me and the world's strongest swordsman, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big.

but,

He was not discouraged, but his eyes were filled with a stronger fighting spirit.

"His slashing attack has reached purple quality? As long as I can continue to hunt polluted monsters, I will definitely be able to reach the same level as him, and eventually surpass him!"

If it were my former self, even if I saw a very powerful swordsman, I would choose to fight without hesitation.

Even if it's broken into pieces.

I was afraid that if I was afraid and retreated once, I would never be able to hold the knife tightly in my hand in front of that man again.

But it's different now,
I have found a new way of swordsmanship and have the courage and goal to reach the top.

He was no longer confused, and he believed in his heart that even if he was not as good as others now, one day he would be able to stand at the top of the world!

A ghostly shadow condensed behind Sauron.
He did not continue to challenge Hawkeye without knowing his own limitations, but buried his will to fight deep in his heart, constantly honing and strengthening himself.

It's like forging a sword, waiting for it to be unsheathed, and it will shock the world.

"interesting."

Hawkeye turned around and looked at the young man with green algae hair not far away. When he saw the three knives on his waist, he understood everything.

He was not frightened by this attack, but instead burst out with a stronger fighting spirit?
It was this violent fighting spirit that made Hawkeye notice this minor character whom he had only glanced at a few times.

"Want to challenge me?"

eye to eye,

As a fellow swordsman, Hawkeye noticed Zoro's intentions and thoughts, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

With the emergence of game merchants, there will be more and more interesting swordsmen like Zoro in the future, and they will have the opportunity to climb to the top. I think my future swordsmanship journey will never be lonely again.

"Luffy, I will definitely become the world's number one swordsman! Please don't hold me back."

"Of course, I want to be the Pirate King! What about you, Kaji?"

"Idiot, my name is Sanji!"

Sanji's angry fist hit Luffy's head, but he only felt the elastic force of rubber, without causing any injury. He hesitated for a while, but finally said: "I have many dreams. I want to find the legendary sea, I want the transparent fruit, and I also want to complete my life menu!"

"Hahahahaha, life menu? There must be a lot of food and countless adventures. You must cook for me when the time comes, Sanji!"

"Asshole, stop talking to yourself. I haven't agreed to be a pirate yet!"

"How can you take risks if you don't want to be a pirate?"

Luffy smiled very happily, turned his head, looked at the orange-haired girl, and said: "And Nami, what's your dream?"

"I want to defeat the Arlong Pirates and draw a giant ocean map of all the worlds!"

As the earliest player, Nami already knew about the existence of the other world.
The abilities of the magic scholar come from another world, and his original dream of drawing sea charts becomes more and more ambitious as his horizons broaden.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Then let's... go on an adventure!"

puff.

The giant heart was constantly attacked by players, but still suffered no substantial damage.

Suddenly, that vigorous and powerful vitality began to shrink abruptly. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the entire heart shrank and dried up like a squeezed peach.

"Something's wrong. I feel like all the essence of this huge heart has gathered together!"

The dragon rushed to the edge of the abyss crack, with a solemn face, staring at the ground without blinking.

Rumble.

The huge heart with full defense was torn apart by a pair of hands.

"Anyone who trespasses into the Soul-Catching Palace will die!"

He was wearing pitch-black armor, had a hideous appearance, and behind him was a huge cloak from which came the sounds of countless wailing ghosts.

Every word that came out of his mouth would create a circle of gray-black yin energy that would spread out in all directions, shaving off most of the health of weaker players.

Soul-catcher.

According to folklore, when a person is about to die, ghosts from the underworld will come to take away the soul to prevent the yin and yang from becoming confused and the ghost from lingering in the human world.

"Oh no, Master. The Soul Catcher sensed that the ghosts were constantly dying and ran directly to the first floor of the Death Island."

Ah Fu, who was always paying attention to the players' movements, spoke nervously when the Soul Catcher appeared.

“That’s something that’s conceivable.”

Fang Yi showed a calm look and said, "The Death Island is a slightly modified product of the Soul Collector's world fragments. I did not block the Soul Collector's perception. He must be able to detect the large-scale deaths of his own ghost troops."

Ah Fu said anxiously: "With the current strength of the players, there is no way to defeat the Soul Catcher. The whole army will be wiped out!"

Although the number of players in the One Piece world is larger than the number of players in the Ninja world back then.

However, when the Ninja World hunts ghost mages, it takes a long period of training and growth.

He has good quality equipment and weapons, and strong skills.

"But the current pirate players haven't even got their equipment ready yet, so the battle will definitely be one-sided."

Ah Fu also didn't want to watch the Death Island and Trial Tower being destroyed by the pollution source Soul Catcher because of the players' lack of strength.

"Don't panic."

Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "Remember what I told you, the thing the pirate world lacks the least is the origin?"

The vast sea.

Countless islands and countless resources are the greatest assets of the pirate world.

Pick any prosperous island kingdom at random, the origin it contains is greater than that of a small ninja village in the ninja world.

"Faced with the huge temptation of rewards, players will not care about being reserved and will use various means to strengthen themselves."

"Master, what do you mean?"
