Pirates' Max Level System

It is impossible to attack someone else's hometown, the only way is to catch Orochimaru who is alone.

At this time, Torrepol also realized that there were not many forces that the Don Quixote family could not afford to offend, such as the Navy, the World Government and Liuyun Palace.

Judging from their behavior, it was highly unlikely that they were from the Navy or the World Government. Therefore… Trebol couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

"Young Master, perhaps we can ask that person what his plan is. If he is the one who captured Gladius, perhaps we can use the devil fruit to redeem him."

Thinking of the god's unexpected obsession with devil fruits, Trebol felt that this plan was unexpectedly feasible.

Chapter 684 Special Medicine

Meanwhile, in Fatty Si's hotel room, his bed had been taken over. Gladius, with one hand missing, was tied up like a mummy. The shackles on Gladius's right hand and feet ensured that even if he woke up mid-sentence, he wouldn't cause any trouble.

Qin Luo didn't want the hotel he was staying in to suddenly go up in flames. Even if Orochimaru repeatedly assured him that Gladius would never wake up without his antidote, Qin Luo was still worried.

After all, this Gladius was the ultimate evolution of Bin Laden, a true human bomber who could be continuously recycled. Orochimaru was quite generous in bringing such a terrorist here to recuperate.

"Hey, Orochimaru, by 'treating' him, you mean taking him to a hotel to heal his injuries? I thought you were going to put him in a glass jar and then add something special to the culture medium."

In the living room, Qin Luo pointed to the room where Gladius was and said.

"That's what I originally planned, but there's no other way. My laboratory was burned down." Orochimaru waved his hand and said.

Hearing this, Qin Luo and Fatty Si in the room rolled their eyes. Didn’t you set fire to this laboratory yourself?

Fearing that Subject No. 9's betrayal would expose the laboratory's location, Orochimaru burned down the warehouse as soon as he returned from the port.

As expected, the Don Quixote family really came to the door and even found the information of the tenant.

Fatty Si had no idea that he had narrowly escaped death and almost exposed his identity.

If Fatty Si had not been cautious enough before and had not anonymously entrusted someone else to help Orochimaru find the laboratory, he would most likely have been caught by the Don Quixote family.

The Don Quixote family may not be able to do anything to Qin Luo and Orochimaru, but Fatty Si, a weakling in combat, will definitely be the first target of their revenge.

Orochimaru didn't intend to delve into this point any further. He stopped talking and immersed himself in preparing the drugs for the experiment. In Fatty Si's living room, green and red bottles and jars of all kinds were scattered all over the floor, and the sight of them was terrifying.

"Hurry up and finish your new laboratory, then pack up and leave. If you continue like this, I will get anorexia." Qin Luo said dissatisfiedly.

"What does it matter? Even if you really have anorexia, I have several ways to replenish energy without eating. You won't die." Orochimaru replied without raising his head.

"No, it's not the same thing at all. If you can't even eat delicious food, then what's the meaning of life." Qin Luo tried to make Orochimaru realize his mistake.

Orochimaru also cooperated very well and stopped what he was doing. After thinking carefully, he gave a very hasty answer.

"If you say yes, then so be it."

Qin Luo was furious. He and Orochimaru were not on the same channel at all.

"Don't worry, the guy who helps me prepare the new laboratory is on the way, and he has a gift from someone in his hand." Orochimaru said mysteriously.

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of Fatty Si's room. There's a saying that goes, Speak of the devil and he will appear.

Qin Luo wanted to see who the guy was that Orochimaru was talking about. In view of Orochimaru's past record, Qin Luo boldly guessed that it must be another unlucky guy who was threatened by Orochimaru.

When the door opened and someone came in, it was Tayuya walking in front, and there was another person following closely behind her. Judging from the footsteps, it seemed to be a man.

"Master Qin Luo."

"Lord Orochimaru."

After Tayuya finished his greeting, he said to Orochimaru, "I have brought the person here as you instructed."

At the same time, Tayuya moved aside, revealing the guest she brought with her.

Qin Luo was stunned. Wasn't this the ratman Beta whom he had sent to the research base where Vegapunk was located as an insider? It turned out that he was the unlucky guy that Orochimaru was talking about. Speaking of which, this guy was caught by Qin Luo because of the deal he made with Orochimaru.

After capturing the rat man Beta, Orochimaru took him over to train him for a few days.

Needless to say, after Orochimaru's "persuading him with emotion and moving him with reason" preaching (brainwashing), the rat man Beta probably planned to devote his life to Orochimaru's great cause.

So, it was Qin Luo who harmed him. With three parts of pity, three parts of apology, and four parts of gloating, Qin Luo looked at the rat man Beta.

The rat man Beta felt uncomfortable under Qin Luo's strange gaze, but since Qin Luo was the boss of the boss, he didn't dare to be presumptuous. After the same salute, he took out something and handed it to Orochimaru.

A fist-sized bottle containing a light yellow oily liquid.

"What is this?" Qin Luo asked.

"Good stuff. Good stuff that makes life better."

Orochimaru's words were as good as nothing. Qin Luo had used the same method in his previous life's sex toys advertisements. However, with Orochimaru's impotent appearance, it was obviously useless. So Qin Luo turned his attention to the rat man Beta.

Nezumi Beta said, "This is what Dr. Vegapunk told me to tell Lord Orochimaru. I don't know the rest."

What Vegapunk gave me is something related to their experiment.

And Orochimaru's actions just confirmed Qin Luo's guess.

Orochimaru poured a few drops of the oily liquid in the bottle into the potion he had prepared earlier. After a few shakes, when Qin Luo thought that the potion 757 in the test tube was about to explode, the potion calmed down and its color turned light blue.

"Tayuya, feed this to the person inside." Orochimaru pointed to the bedroom.

Tayuya nodded, took the potion, and walked towards the bedroom where Gladius was.

"What on earth is this thing? Why does it look so weird?" Qin Luo stared at Orochimaru and asked. Even if he didn't understand, he couldn't be treated like a fool and be kept in the dark. This feeling was terrible.

"Stabilizer, didn't I tell you that Vegapunk invented an extremely effective stabilizer that can slow down the body's rejection?" Orochimaru said.

"Just that?" Qin Luo looked suspicious.

"Of course, I added some things I prepared specially for him."

At this moment, a huge scream erupted from the room where Gladius was. Fortunately, Qin Luo was quick-witted and set up a soundproof barrier in the room when the second scream erupted. Otherwise, not to mention disturbing the people, the Quixote family of the Second Heaven would come to the door.

At the same time, Orochimaru walked towards Gladius slowly.

Orochimaru is such a jerk. He had obviously anticipated this matter, but he didn't inform him in advance. It seems that he just wanted Qin Luo to help him attract the attention of the Don Quixote family.

Chapter 685: The Points Race Ends

When Qin Luo entered, Orochimaru had already controlled Gladius, at least preventing him from wailing like he had just done.

Gladius's bandaged, mummy-like body twisted restlessly, parts of his body occasionally bulging, straining the bandages. His face, the only part not covered by the bandages, was grimacing, veins bulging.

To Qin Luo's surprise, Gladius didn't wake up. All the wailing and pain were subconsciously emitted by him while he was unconscious. If Gladius was dreaming now, it must be the most terrifying nightmare in the world.

"You fed him DDT and Sanlu milk powder. Do you want him to die directly?" Qin Luo said to Orochimaru.

When Orochimaru heard this, he showed a black question mark expression.

"DDV, Sanlu milk powder, what are those things?"

"This is not important. What's going on with him? You have already started the experiment in this place." While Qin Luo was speaking, a drastic change occurred in Gladius.

Gladius's empty left sleeve swelled. The bandages on his broken arm ripped, revealing a patchwork of red flesh, ugly and repulsive. The surface of the flesh began to wither and gradually transformed into a gray-brown carapace, similar in texture to a monster's exoskeleton.

It is a bit far-fetched to say that this newly grown thing is a human arm. You can't see the palm and fingers at all. Countless finger-sized tentacles are spread all over the arm. As the surface withers, these tentacles have turned into spikes.

This looks more like some shellfish in the deep sea.

After watching what happened to Gladius, Orochimaru thought for a while and returned to his thoughts: "I didn't expect Vegapunk's stabilizer to be so effective. Even though many things were not prepared, the mutation started on its own."

Qin Luo was stunned for a moment. What does it mean that the mutation has already begun?

"You don't intend to finish the experiment right here."

The one who felt the most distressed at this moment was Fatty Si. This was his room. Orochimaru had used it as a laboratory, and he didn't dare sleep in it again, fearing what strange things might remain. But as a weakling, he didn't dare to say "no" to the boss.

"No, the conditions here are too poor. There's not even enough space for my operating table." Orochimaru's disdain was like the sound of nature to Fatty Si.

"I have temporarily suspended the mutation process. All we have to do next is find a new laboratory." Orochimaru left in a hurry. Perhaps because this delay could not last long, he had to set up the laboratory as soon as possible.

Orochimaru, the only one who knew Gladius's situation, left, leaving a group of onlookers confused.

Orochimaru's treatment did not alleviate the pain, and Gladius was still in great pain. The bulge on his body was getting bigger and bigger.

Whether Gladius would suddenly explode became a problem that Qin Luo and others had to consider.

Qin Luo put a repulsive shield on this dangerous human bomb, which could ensure that everything in the room except the bed would be safe even if it exploded.

If the Don Quixote family called at this time, Qin Luo would not mind exchanging this "dangerous item" for some devil fruits when Orochimaru was not around. Unfortunately, the call came a little late.

As soon as Orochimaru took Gladius away, Qin Luo received a call from Roger from Fishman Island.

"Qin Luo, did you capture anyone from the Don Quixote family in Calgary?"

"Yes, Orochimaru caught him." Qin Luo was still quite surprised to receive a call from his intelligence chief. "Why, your observation Haki has improved again, and you can even sense things like this."

"Haha, stop teasing me. Someone from the Donquixote family came to our door. They said on the phone that they were willing to exchange ten devil fruits for a guy named Gladius. So I came here specifically to ask what's going on here."

"You agreed." Qin Luo asked.

"How is that possible? I don't even know your situation, how can I promise others anything? Are you trying to raise the price? Don't worry, I won't agree unless you have 20."

Qin Luo didn't expect that even Roger was so skilled at raising prices. Suddenly, he felt sad as if he had lost tens of billions.

"Stop talking. That person was thrown onto the experimental table by Orochimaru. Do you think anyone else would want him?" Qin Luo said helplessly.

Thinking about how Gladius looked after being fed the medicine, Qin Luo felt that this possibility was as good as nothing.

"Just pretend you don't know about this. Just find an excuse to shirk responsibility." Qin Luo didn't know that Orochimaru had been exposed at this time, and Orochimaru didn't mention it to Qin Luo.

Roger's rejection was like rubbing salt into Doflamingo's wounds, causing the Don Quixote family to be on edge in the following days of competition.

Especially for Doflamingo's opponents, anyone who didn't give up at the start would be killed or injured. Unfortunately, the referee couldn't do anything about Doflamingo, and the other factions didn't want to provoke Doflamingo at this time, so they all chose to play blind to the matter.

The Donquixote family didn't dare force the Ryukumo Palace to release the prisoners, but they never stopped searching for Orochimaru. It was unknown what Doflamingo was thinking.

But this has nothing to do with Qin Luo. The Don Quixote family is looking for a snake charmer. The strength and ability shown by Qin Luo are enough to make these investigators take a detour.

The following days returned to a leisurely vacation time. After Orochimaru's "pen pal" offensive, Vegapunk loosened up a lot. Perhaps with just one more push, he could capture the number one scientist in the pirate world.

Qin Luo was not in a hurry, because the other party was now fully devoted to the experiment of that "devil".

Under these circumstances, the points race also came to an end, and the final result did not exceed everyone's expectations by much.

Those casinos in Calgary were indeed quite impressive; the list of players who qualified for the knockout rounds was nearly identical to their rankings. The biggest change came in the fourteen Sea Curse test subjects.

The situation was even worse than Orochimaru had suspected. Not a single Sea Curse experiment had managed to survive the points competition. In the last one or two matches, a large number of Sea Curse experiments had died suddenly.

The overwhelming power of the curse drained all of the life force from these subjects, turning them into piles of dead charcoal, exactly the same fate as Subject No. 9.

Those forces that were very interested in the Sea Curse experiment were also disappointed when they saw this situation. If they had known there would be such serious side effects, they would not have bothered with it at all.

Chapter 686 Seeking Shelter

It was like a promising stock plummeting and a company scandal breaking out. The forces chasing the Sea Curse experiment's technology for the entire points competition felt as sick as if they had eaten a fly.

So the pressure came to the armed prosthesis.

However, families like the Dinasur family do not care about this little pressure, and they are even happy to do so.

The ultimate goal of this martial arts tournament is to promote their new product "armed prosthesis". Now that their competitor has collapsed, they naturally want to seize the opportunity to promote it happily.

A rumor slowly spread through Calgary that an armed prosthetic limb would be sold at a weapons exhibition following the martial arts tournament.

Maybe you have average talent or are physically disabled, but as long as you get armed prosthetic limbs, you can gain the same powerful strength as those masters, and power and wealth will follow.

Just like Roger’s declaration when he was executed, people on the sea can never avoid power, wealth and rights.

No one could be sure if this was true, but it was widely known. But one thing was certain: if the weaponized prosthetic limbs were indeed being sold, they must be connected to the Dynasul family, the largest arms dealer in the North Sea. These days, the Dynasul family's doors have been practically thronged with people.

In the mansion of the Deinasur family, the head of the family, Darwin, and Qin Luoxiang sat opposite each other, with black tea and various snacks on the table in the middle.

"Chief Darwin is really at your leisure. So many people want to visit you but can't get the chance, yet you invite me over for afternoon tea. I'm a little flattered."

He was flattered but didn't feel comfortable. He wanted to ask why. Qin Luo put down the tea in his hand and looked at Darwin calmly.

To the outside world, Qin Luo was a guest invited by the Dinasur family, which allowed Qin Luo to avoid a lot of trouble. He owed the Dinasur family a favor, so it was difficult for Qin Luo to refuse Darwin's invitation. However, Qin Luo could not imagine the reason why Darwin came to him at this time.

"Haha, as your Excellency, are you also interested in what's happening in Calgary?" Darwin said with a chuckle.

Qin Luo shook his head helplessly and said, "It's hard not to know. Your door is full of people holding visiting cards. My arrival has perfectly attracted a wave of firepower."

Qin Luo felt annoyed just thinking about being stared at by dozens of jealous eyes, especially since these fiery gazes were all from men.

"There's nothing I can do about it. As a businessman, I can't just drive these people away," said Darwin.

"Forget it. Let's get straight to the point. Why did you ask me to come here this time?" Qin Luo was too lazy to play guessing games with Darwin and went straight to the point.

Qin Luo interrupted Darwin's rhythm so directly. He picked up the black tea and sipped it slowly, as if he was using this time to organize his thoughts.
