One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Everyone was stunned, their faces turned pale, and then they flew into a rage!

"impossible!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"I do not believe."

Amidst the public outrage, Caesar suddenly appeared.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~ Oh dear, why are there still so many people who haven't boarded the boat? Have they given up the competition?"

Caesar asked the question knowing the answer already.

The Dragon Hunter Guild members responsible for maintaining order immediately said respectfully, "Lord Caesar, these are all people who were eliminated in the first round."

Chapter 966 Gentlemen, let's fight for a brilliant future!

Upon learning the situation, Caesar immediately adopted a compassionate expression and then loudly addressed the others, "I am Caesar Cullen, the chief scientist of the Dragon Hunter Guild. Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

When these people heard Caesar introduce himself, they were all astonished!

Chief Scientist of the Dragon Hunter Guild?

That's an impressive title; the person must be of very high status.

After gaining admiring glances from many people, Caesar felt great. Anyway, no one could call him out on his words. What was wrong with him saying he was the chief?

"I have just learned the details of the situation. I am very saddened and heartbroken to learn that many of you were eliminated without your knowledge..."

"Therefore, I have decided to disobey the president's orders and give you another chance."

Everyone immediately erupted in excitement, their hope rekindled.

"Lord Caesar is such a good man!"

"If I had known this was part of the assessment in the first place, how could I have been eliminated?"

"Shh, be quiet, listen to what Lord Caesar has to say."

"Lord Caesar, what opportunity is it?"

……

After clearing his throat, Caesar began to persuade, "I am currently in dire need of a group of temporary 'research assistants.' If you are willing, you can join my research institute in this capacity first."

"This way, you're practically halfway into the Dragon Hunter Guild. As long as you make certain contributions, you'll be able to become full-fledged crew members."

Some were tempted, some were puzzled, and some were confused.

At this moment, someone asked, "Lord Caesar, what does this 'research assistant' do? How can one officially join the Dragon Hunter Guild?"

Caesar smiled slightly and explained, "Oh, the job of this 'research assistant' is very simple. It involves assisting me with some experiments. If you do well, you can accumulate contribution points in a few months and officially join the Dragon Hunter Guild. Even for someone who is a little slow, it should take about six months to a year."

"Of course, it's all voluntary. And I don't need that many of you."

Caesar had completely grasped the psychology of these people; few people believe in something as good as a free lunch.

But when they learned that the number of people needed was limited, they all became anxious.

After all, how many 'research assistants' do you need?

There are over ten thousand of them.

"Lord Caesar, choose me! I'm willing to be your 'research assistant'!"

"Me too, pick me!"

“I went to school for a few years, and my teachers all praised me for being smart, so I’m sure I can do it.”

"Get out of my way, I was here first."

Amidst the arguing of the crowd, Caesar smirked with triumph.

These people are so easy to fool!

And coincidentally, the transport ship that was supposed to take these people away also arrived.

"Ahem, there are too many of you. In this situation, I don't know who to choose."

"Alright, those who want to stay and be my 'research assistant' can come with me. Those who don't, please leave. The ship has arrived, so let's go home."

"Sigh! I'm too soft-hearted. I couldn't bear to see you go back so dejectedly and miss the chance to rise to the top by joining the Dragon Hunter Guild."

Under Caesar's manipulation, many people showed a determined look on their faces.

We absolutely cannot go back like this and become a laughingstock!

I want to stay!

And so, a dark mass of over ten thousand people followed Caesar.

No one saw the expressions of sympathy and pity on the faces of the other members of the Dragon Hunter Guild.

You should know that this isn't the first or second time Lord Caesar has applied for a 'research assistant' position.

But President Abel rejected them all.

Because those people imprisoned in the dungeon have other uses.

It was a waste to use them as test subjects for Caesar.

Moreover, Vegapunk was also persuaded to come back by him, so he couldn't be too biased towards Caesar on some matters.

Unexpectedly, Caesar became self-reliant.

They actually set their sights on those who were eliminated in the first round.

And it was all done voluntarily.

No one could find any fault with it.

Caesar wasn't lying to them; she really was a 'scientific assistant' who helped him conduct some experiments.

However, this experiment is somewhat dangerous.

Some casualties are inevitable.

In short, Caesar left with a big smile.

Only a very small number of people chose to leave by boat and go home.

Including those who died in the scramble, one-tenth of the participants were eliminated before the real competition even began.

Before long, many ships flying purple flags returned.

When they disembarked, many people were bewildered and confused.

Why did they turn back again?

After everyone was forced off the ship, a huge curtain was lowered on the ship, and then images were projected onto it.

The person who appeared was none other than Abel, one of the Four Emperors!

"This dragon hunting competition is divided into 7 zones. Depending on the ship they choose to board, the participants will be sent to different assessment locations."

"Different assessment locations mean different assessment content, which means a lot of unknown dangers. If you are afraid, it is not too late to withdraw now."

"Otherwise, once the transport ship leaves, everyone will be responsible for their own lives."

"There is no option to stop or quit during the competition, and there is no rescue available."

Upon hearing this, countless people wore serious and solemn expressions.

Some were eager to try, some were indifferent, some had shifty eyes, and some were uneasy...

"Among the seven competition zones, the 7 people who perform exceptionally well will become official crew members of the Dragon Hunter Guild and enjoy all the benefits and honors that official crew members should have."

"The first person in each region to pass the final assessment will receive the ultimate reward for that region after swearing allegiance to me, which is the Devil Fruit written on the promotional poster."

"In addition, they will be awarded the honorary title of 'Seven Deadly Sins' and enjoy the status and benefits of cadres!"

"If you want to join the Dragon Hunter Guild, become one of the Seven Deadly Sins, obtain powerful Devil Fruits, and rise to the top in one step, then risk your lives and fight to your heart's content! I see every bit of your performance!"

"Those cowards who cower in the corner and tremble in fear are only fit to be stepping stones on the path of the strong!"

"Gentlemen, I look forward to those of you who will ultimately emerge from among 20 people, joining me in turning this world upside down!"

"I hereby declare the Dragon Hunting Tournament officially open!"

"Oh!!!"

As Abel's voice echoed across the seven islands, the remaining 18 contestants roared in unison!

Rather than living a timid and aimless life, why not live a brilliant and fulfilling one!

Even if I die, at least I won't regret not having fought hard!

Chapter 967 Standing Out

rule?

The rule is that there are no rules!

Use every method you can think of to survive to the end and pass all the tests.

Those who want to survive here will never be among the final 10,000 to be accepted.

Therefore, everyone has to do everything they can to perform well in the assessment.

Punk Hazard.

All the participants who chose the purple flag circled around outside and then returned to this spot.

Furthermore, the original fences have all been opened, meaning the entire island is now open to them.

They need to explore the island in search of a golden key with a number on it.

That was the key that would eventually open the treasure chest.

Many people, unaware of the impending crisis, rushed toward the depths of the island, howling and screaming.
