Pirates: The Salary Is In Place, The Four Emperors Are Kicked Out

"Why is it the Devil's Triangle Sea again, Polsalino-senpai..."

Standing on the bow deck of the "Moyu", Kuzan looked suspiciously at the mysterious sea shrouded in mist, "Could it be that the old monster you mentioned is here? But if he is here, , why didn't we go directly to Crocodile after we contacted Crocodile in the first place?"

"That's why, Kuzan, you're just Rear Admiral and I'm already Vice Admiral..."

With a smile on his face, Polsalino stepped out from behind Kuzan, put his hands on Kabuto, and stood by his side.

"what?"

"I ask you, Kuzan, is our recruitment plan for the Seven Warlords of the Sea this time a task assigned to us by the Naval Headquarters, or is it directly assigned by the Five Elders, who are in power in the World government?"

"... Five Elders, what's wrong?"

"This is the key! Usually tasks need to focus on efficiency, that is because we are directly responsible to the headquarters, and our task funds are also allocated by the headquarters, and Marshal Sengoku's stingy character, you are not ignorant... Once the funds exceed The budget, we have to make up for the excess... This time, we can finally let go of the activity funds, why should we pay so much attention to efficiency? Why should we save money for the Five Elders? Seniors, I have already thought about it. Now, be sure to resupply at Sabaody Archipelago a few times! Use the best supplies! Five times the invoice!"

"..."

"Besides, the sooner we complete our mission this time, the sooner Marshal Sengoku will give us a new mission after returning to the headquarters... If I give you a Celestial Dragons escort mission, do you think you will be uncomfortable?"

"..."

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"...Senior Polsalino, it's a miracle that you have such a good relationship with Sakazuki Vice Admiral, and you haven't been killed by him..."

"Hey, Kuzan! What do you mean by that, boy?"

"I mean Sakazuki Vice Admiral hates evil!"

...

"Yo ho ho ho, yo ho ho ho ~"

"Yo ho ho ho, yo ho ho ho ~"

"Why is someone singing? And the sound of a violin..."

"An unknown ship is observed in the fog ahead! It seems to be... a long-abandoned pirate ship!!"

"Wait?! Is... the skeleton singing?! The skeleton is alive!!"

"Polusalino Vice Admiral! It's not good! There's a ghost!! The skeleton is resurrected!!"

...

Compared with the warships of the same specifications in the Naval Headquarters, the number of sailors on the "Moyu" is slightly smaller. But these people were carefully selected by Polusalino in order to make up for his liking to fish, so almost everyone could be called an elite with rich combat experience.

But just like the common problem of the vast majority of people in this world, more than half of these elite sailors are afraid of ghosts...

Therefore, after observing the abandoned pirate ship that gradually emerged from the fog and approached, and the scene of the skeleton with an explosive head on the deck flexibly playing the violin, the exclamations of the male sailors were mixed with the female sailors. Their screams resounded throughout the "fishing number".

"Fire, Vice Admiral! I've crossed the cannonball in prayer!"

"I'm going to the kitchen to get the garlic, Vice Admiral!"

"Destroy this ghost with your invincible light, Lord Vice Admiral! It's terrifying!"

......

"Please... please don't fire! I have no ill intentions!!"

The violin in the hands of the exploding skull stopped suddenly, and he was taken aback by the reaction of the marines.

"Mama, don't get excited~"

Polsalino jumped straight onto the deck of the abandoned pirate ship with a jump, and Kuzan followed with Moonwalk.

"Yohooahah~ Mr. Marine, are you the captain of this warship? I heard they call you Lord Vice Admiral? My name is Brook, a musician, and no malice."

The skeleton named Brook had a strange laugh, but his slightly bowed posture was quite graceful.

"I know you, the musician of the Rumba Pirates, Brook known as the 'Nose Song', the person with the ability of the Yellow Spring Fruit, right?"

While rubbing the stubble of his chin, Polsalino looked at each other with interest, and said with a straight-to-the-point smile, "I wonder if you remember a small island whale called 'Laboon'? The mouth of the Line, the place called Twin Points, has been waiting for you for many years..."

...

Although Polsalino and Kuzan were out on the Shichibukai recruitment mission, due to his advance arrangement, the new phone bug system that had been able to operate automatically not only did not stop, but also carried out StrongWorld, which he highly expected in the name of the phone bug family. The first closed beta of the game.

And since it is the first internal test, the selected players must be representative and influential figures in the world of pirates. Under the shady manipulation of Bolsalino in advance, 5,000 "chosen sons" received an invitation letter for an internal test on their personal phone bugs.

...

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

In the majestic fortress building, in a spacious and bright office, a man was sitting behind a desk, with a cigar in his mouth and a crimson phone bug in his hand, tinkering with something.

The man was quite tall, dressed in a dark red suit, wearing a Marine hat and a rose on his chest. Behind him, a white justice cloak fluttered in the wind, and the military rank star on the epaulette was dazzling.

It is the leader of the new generation of Marine, one of the three most famous Logia monsters in the headquarters - Lava-Lava Fruit ability Sakazuki.

Unlike the other two Logia monsters, Polusalino and Kuzan, this serious-looking strong man has always been shown in Marine as a tough hawk. He has offended many people in the world government because he is seldom sympathetic to others, but he has won the respect and support of many young Marine generals because of this.

And because of the previous Ohara mission, this monster marine and his colleague, Sparkling fruit capable Polusalino, were promoted to Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral together, becoming a real senior Marine general and a backbone.

But if someone was in his office at this time and saw the current situation of this "Marine Killer", he would be shocked, and he would not even be able to believe his own eyes...

At this moment, Sakazuki's eyes were fixed on the upgraded screen of the phone bug, and he kept swiping something on the belly of the phone bug with his fingers. The expression of concentration was unprecedented, and it seemed that even the pirate information he was most concerned about on weekdays could not distract him in the slightest.

And his mouth is still whispering to himself:

"Can you find a way to become stronger in this? It's unbelievable... But since it's a new function launched by the mysterious phone bug family, there must be something..."

What is displayed on the screen is the "StrongWorld" dynamic login interface carefully designed by Polusalino - the cliff bulging from the player's perspective, the meteorite rain falling from the sky, the forest that has been eroded by floods... all kinds of All kinds of unique and romantic elements of men are intertwined, so that any normal man can't help but shine.

There is a slowly moving progress bar above the cliff, and there is a line of small characters below the progress bar: It may take a certain amount of time to log in for the first time, please wait patiently...

Finally, when Sakazuki couldn't help but tap the table with his fingers, the progress bar marked with the fuze burning cannonball finally reached 100%. The dynamic picture paused for a while, and then quickly turned into a sea of ​​rolling waves. Several news birds flew in the blue sky, and a low male voice sounded:

"The boundless sea, the vast world, who is the strongest?"

"For a variety of reasons, no one knows the answer to this question - but in the world of StrongWorld, we may be able to know..."

"Unknown adventurer, since you have opened the door to StrongWorld, you must be ready! Sah! Let us decide who is the strongest king on an absolutely fair platform. Bar!!"

The male voice that turned from muffled to passionate disappeared, the sea also disappeared, and the viewing angle of the screen was quickly raised. What appeared in front of Sakazuki was the view of Naval Headquarters Marineford from a top-down perspective!

The Marineford scene was so lifelike that Sakazuki even wondered if the scene was actually shot from above Marineford (in fact, it was actually shot by Polusalino).

Just as Sakazuki pondered why the sight of Naval Headquarters Marineford appeared, a sweet and beautiful voice he was familiar with rang out.

(The customer service voice of the official phone number of the bug family? Why...)

"Hello, dear competitors! Welcome to StrongWorld, an absolutely fair competitive world! I am Barbara, your novice guide ambassador, and I will guide you to familiarize yourself with and quickly get started with StrongWorld..."

"Vice Admiral in the StrongWorld matchup will divide a total of ten competitors into red and blue camps, and now you see the blue team's base Marineford. As a blue team competitor, your ultimate goal in a match And the only purpose is to protect their own base and destroy the opponent's base at the same time."

(Sounds like not only to compete with individual force, but also to focus on teamwork and use tactics...)

...

Meanwhile, scenes similar to those in Sakazuki's office are also taking place elsewhere in the world.

For example, the location of the New WorldBIGMOM Pirates, the Totto Land waters.

"What?! The old lady wants to protect Marineford?! What a joke! Who do you think the old lady is!!!"

Charlotte Linlin's roar made the huge castle on Cake Island tremble, and the Hormiz who were created by her power even curled up.

"Mom what happened?!"

"Is there another guy who doesn't have long eyes to make mom angry?!"

"It's terrible! It's terrible!"

...

"Dear competitors, do you want to quit StrongWorld? Because it is currently in the closed beta phase, if you quit this time, you will no longer be able to log in to StrongWorld before the public beta~"

"Huh?! Do you even need to ask? Old lady..."

Charlotte Linlin paused, she suddenly remembered the game called Tetris99 that brought her a lot of joy. With a curious attitude, she once purchased a set of cake-and-dessert-themed skins in this game, but since then, she has been out of control, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't play for two hours a day...

She also remembered the audiobook function launched by the phone bug. The one in it was sold by Bailey in 1999. She had listened to the bedtime story of various races living happily together no less than a hundred times...

"Dear competitor, do you want to quit StrongWorld?"

Guiding Ambassador Barbara's sweet voice sounded again.

"...Mother...don't quit!"

"Thank you for making the right choice, then I will continue to introduce you to the defense turret..."

...

"FristBlood!" (First blood!)

"How could I be killed by the turret three times?! This is impossible!!"

Looking at the screen that had turned black and white, Sakazuki couldn't help but slammed his fist on the desk and said angrily, "Not to mention the 128-pounder gun on the defensive turret, even the Marineford fortress gun can't be hurt. I'm not at all! And the speed of the character's action is too slow! Even if I use the weight of the Polsalino guy, it is absolutely impossible to move so slow!"

"Also! Why can't my attack destroy the red side's defensive turret, and why do I have to attack the ordinary pirate battleship on the red side to destroy it! This is too fake!!"

"Hello dear competitor, your chosen character ' Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral Sakazuki ' is positioned as a warrior, and it is true that he cannot withstand three attacks from the defensive turret at level 1~ As for authenticity, Barbara this I suggest that you follow the guidelines given by Barbara in the novice teaching level~ You also need to keep in mind the various rules introduced by Barbara~”

...

"Ask the contestants to officially name your character!"

Garp Vice Admiral, who was idle all day long, quickly completed the novice teaching level. Although there were still many things he didn't understand, this thing called StrongWolrd really interested him.

Thinking in his heart, "Can you do it again soon?" he said his real name almost without thinking: "Monkey D Garp!"

"Dear competitor, the name you chose is the same as the character's name, so it can't be used~ Please change the name~"

"Garp!"

"Dear competitor, the name you chose is the same as the character's name, so it can't be used~ Please change the name~"

"Can't Garp either... Then... Grandpa Garp!"

"Dear competitor, the name you selected cannot be used because it involves sensitive characters~ Please change your name~"

"That's not good either, then... this old man loves to eat senbei!"

"Dear competitor, are you sure you want to use 'I love to eat senbei' as your name?"

"Sure, sure! Why are you so long-winded! Hurry up and start another game for this old man!"

...

Sakazuki spent two full hours in StrongWorld, until his adjutant, the ghost spider, came to call him for dinner, and he recovered.

On the way to Marine's cafeteria, Sakazuki, who didn't like to talk much in the first place, didn't say a word, thinking about what happened just now. If an ordinary sailor walked beside him, he would definitely not be able to breathe smoothly due to the strange atmosphere around him. But fortunately, the ghost spider is quite familiar with Sakazuki's character, and he doesn't like to talk much, so the two of them are silent, but they seem very harmonious.

The various novelties in StrongWorld completely attracted Sakazuki, but whether it is the various controllable characters sold in the mall, including the big pirate, or the one that contains the twelve swordsman of the supreme sword that all swordsmen are fascinated by The dazzling in-game purchasable props, or the extremely ingeniously designed red square base hive island... etc. These things are not enough to make Sakazuki care so much. What really made him think about it is actually two things. thing.

First, his colleague Porusalino somehow didn't become a playable character like him and Kuzan, but became a statue in the deepest part of Marineford on the blue side -- when Sakazuki, as the red side, tried to enter the blue side. Deep in the Sefang base, that is when Barbara told him the place called "Fountain". A laser suddenly shot out of Polsalino's statue, killing the 18th-level warrior "Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral Sakazuki" whose HP reached 5,000 in seconds.

Sakazuki tried the second and third times without believing in evil, but the result was still the same - the laser shot from the Polsalino statue instantly evaporated his character, whether he chose himself or resisted nausea and chose Ba What Bara told him was BIGMOM, the most damage-tolerant character in the game.

This made Sakazuki think of the strength of Polsalino in reality, especially when Polsalino turned into the giant of light and moved the giant tree a few days ago. That miraculous behavior brought him unprecedented Shocked and frustrated. Coupled with his repeated experiments in StrongWorld today, Sakazuki only felt extremely bitter in his heart.

(Is Polsalino's strength already so strong? Even the phone bug clan is very clear... Really... alas...)

Second, when Sakazuki used the character "Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral Sakazuki" in the game, he accidentally discovered that although this character was exactly the same as him, the four skills were completely different from him. These skills gave Sakazuki a lot of inspiration and made him wonder if he could do the same in reality.

Especially when his character was upgraded to level 6, the ultimate move "Destructive Lava Burst", the doomsday-like attack effect made Sakazuki's heart even more - if such a move could be realized in reality, it must be Seeing your own pirates will make you even more desperate!

In fact, these four skills aside from themselves, even their names fit Sakazuki's liking. All along, the names of Sakazuki's moves are very "simple", what magma fist, magma giant fist, magma super giant fist, magma three-headed dog... The only one with a cool name, that "Anubis' Wrath", Or he copied it after reading the storybook that the ghost spider gave him. And the names of these four moves, not to mention anything else, just the "dog biting red lotus" made Sakazuki's eyes shine.

While vividly depicting the characteristics of your own moves, it also includes the elements of your favorite flowers, and there is a feeling of a tiger sniffing roses!

—Nice name, but next second it's my Sakazuki's!

...

After eating lunch in silence, Sakazuki took the initiative and said, "Ghost spider... You, is there something called StrongWorld on your phone bug?"

Ghost Spider froze for a moment, "Um... Sakazuki Vice Admiral, is this StrongWorld you're talking about a software?"

"Software?" Sakazuki frowned. "What is this?"

"That's what Sakazuki Vice Admiral said. The name was explained in the update log sent by the phone bug clan a few days ago... Although I don't know why it's called this, it's an official statement."

The ghost spider replied.

"I see... Yes, StrongWorld is a piece of software I said. Do you have one on your phone bug?"

"No."

The ghost spider shook his head decisively.

"Um……"

"But Sakazuki Vice Admiral, I received a text message from the official phone bug clan yesterday, saying that there is such a software, but I haven't had time..."

The ghost spider's voice became smaller and smaller as the corners of Sakazuki's mouth slowly twitched, and his face couldn't help but show an unbelievable, or more accurately horrified expression - his own boss, Sakazuki, would be without Porusa. Laughing at the occasion of Lino Vice Admiral?

When Sakazuki saw the expression on the ghost spider, he also realized that he had lost his way. He instantly changed back to a serious expression, coughed twice and said:

"Cough, so what... Ghost spider, you can install the software called StrongWorld in a while, and we will discuss it in depth in the afternoon."

"Uh, okay... Sakazuki Vice Admiral, have you used this software?"

"Use it a little bit."
