Pirates' Max Level System

Is this the power of adolescent hormones?

However, Qin Luo still found it a little magical that this happened to someone he knew.

Being regarded as a goddess by so many people, the future world's greatest swordsman is jealous of her and is competing with others for her. Tsk tsk tsk, Qin Luo really wants to know what his subordinate Duo Yuya feels at this moment?

Qin Luo's mind was spinning wildly. Now he was playing the role of "Yu Lao Zang" and needed to "play deaf and dumb", so he could only use his imagination in his mind.

If it weren't for the task of playing as a substitute, Qin Luo would just want to grab a handful of melon seeds and sit and watch the actors and actresses of "Calgary Love Story" perform on stage.

The stronger Hawkeye's determination, the stronger the hatred he attracts. In this case, Hawkeye got what he wanted.

"Mihawk, you're brave. You really think you're the best swordsman in the world. You even want to ask about the sword in my hand."

"You're blaspheming the goddess! I think you're the one blaspheming the goddess. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? When will you be able to make decisions on behalf of the goddess?"

"I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time. Your face just deserves a beating."

Everyone's feedback was quite positive. Among the hundred or so people in the lounge, four floors had ideas about Duoyu. Hawkeye received no less than 40 threats, and none of them were the same.

Hawkeye ignored all these threats. In a one-on-one fight, he would never back down. However, these people were right about one thing: Hawkeye was also in unrequited love, and he had no advantage over others.

Apart from fighting for Cherno, Hawkeye and Tayuya only had a few opportunities to meet each other, and even fewer times to talk.

The Don Quixote family had nothing to do with this matter. In the past, Doflamingo would have ignored such a childish declaration of war. But now Doflamingo was a complete powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest touch, not to mention being hit by Hawkeye's map cannon.

"Boy, I don't care who you are or what your goddess is. But you've messed with me, you know that. You'd better start praying that you and your goddess won't touch me."

This was not a threat, Doflamingo was serious. He urgently needed a high-quality sandbag to replace those fragile furniture.

The users of the weaponized prosthetic limbs were relatively indifferent. They had all come on missions to gain influence, and their main focus was on competing for rankings. However, from their eyes, it was clear that their opinions were similar to Doflamingo's. If they could meet him, they would definitely break Hawkeye's legs.

"Hey, hey, everyone calm down. And Hawkeye, you're too excited. Calm down quickly." Feeling the constant malice around him, Beckman quickly stepped forward to try to ease the atmosphere, while hinting to Hawkeye not to mess around.

Beckman was destined to be disappointed. Hawkeye had accurately received his hint, but he just didn't care. Why take back the trash talk he'd said based on his own ability?

Since they couldn't fight in the lounge, Hawkeye used his eyes to defeat a hundred enemies at once.

"Captain, can't you persuade your friend? The difficulty of our game has inexplicably increased by several levels because of him." Beckman could only hope that the captain, who had the best relationship with Hawkeye, could play some role.

Shanks heard this, nodded and said to Hawkeye: "Well done, Hawkeye, don't be scared, beat down all those who don't obey."

After saying that, Shanks released some domineering aura to cheer Hawkeye up.

Beckman rolled his eyes. He should have guessed that his unreliable captain would act so blindly. This level of attack could be considered a provocation. As expected, after Shanks released his Conqueror's Haki, the people who had previously surrounded them immediately stood several meters away, intending to draw a clear line between them.

The atmosphere in the lounge grew tense, a touch tense. But everyone chose to exercise restraint, avoiding any real outbursts. The game continued, and people continued to leave the lounge. Soon, it was the turn of the "Yu Lao Zang" team.

Qin Luo stood up silently and walked out first. Everyone made way in advance. This reputation of viciousness was earned by Orochimaru's previous beatings with his Zen staff. He was truly a human-shaped killing weapon.

Doflamingo patted Corazon on the shoulder, ordered "Fight beautifully" and let Corazon go into battle.

To put it simply, they assigned him a monster and asked him to fight it beautifully. If you are so capable, why don't you do it yourself? Corazon complained madly in his heart. Finally, Corazon nodded heavily. He suddenly didn't want to lose because of Hawkeye.

Accustomed to hearing the trash talk and bickering between the players during the competition, the audience was a little unaccustomed to hearing two mute players. It was like they were on mute. Only the emcee's voice proved that they were still deaf.

Qin Luo and Corazon are in the same boat. Neither of them is really dumb, but due to role-playing reasons, one is silent and the other cannot speak.

……

Strength is the most primitive form of power. Qin Luo stuck his staff into the ground. With a "crash", the ground of the stadium, where some players had only created a few pits with their full strength, was directly penetrated without any drag. The staff sank half a meter into the ground.

Although the audience generally knew that "Yu Lao Zang" was extremely powerful, at this moment they had a completely new understanding of the power and weight of the Zen staff. Could this Yu Lao Zang be a sea king transformed into a spirit? How could his opponent win?

As Qin Luo pointed at Corazon and made a throat-wiping gesture, the pressure and focus of the game came to Corazon.

Everyone was guessing how Corazon would respond, but no one expected that Corazon had no intention of responding at all. He seized every second to think about how to defeat Yu Lao Zang, which was an almost unsolvable problem.

Corazon's silence disappointed the audience and the emcee, but from another perspective, they could understand Corazon's cowardice. To provoke a monster is to play with one's own life.

After the host's countdown ended, Qin Luo announced the start of the game with a jumping slash.

Qin Luo fell from the sky, wrapped in the huge body of the fishman, and with the whistling wind pressure, the top of the Zen stick hit the place where Corazon was originally.

The largest crack since the start of the match appeared on the field, turning two-thirds of the field into a spiderweb. Corazon, who was running, stumbled and nearly fell.

Chapter 703 Welfare Bureau?

"Sri Lanka's No. 1, Yu Lao Zang's fighting style is more bold than before." There was no sitcom to watch, and the emcee's commentary was the only fun besides the fighting, so the emcee was particularly hard-working in his commentary.

"I'm really worried about Contestant Corazon right now. What about you?"

There's no need to elaborate on Yu Lao Zang's destructive power; no matter how brilliantly described, it wouldn't be as stunning as the visuals. I believe anyone with a passing eye can understand. The emcee was quite pessimistic about Corazon; he might be facing a sea king that had arrived on land.

The emcee's words were rather tactful. After all, he still had to take care of the feelings of Corazon and his colleagues, especially the one in charge of the stadium maintenance.

Every crack on the field represents the burning of funds, and Qin Luo's blow was like a knock on his heart.

Another particularly concerning point is the extent of the damage done to the stadium by yesterday's match, and the fact that it took an overnight rush to repair it. Now that two-thirds of the stadium is ruined, can this be fixed by staying up all night?

Qin Luo didn't know about the staff member's grievances. If he knew, he would definitely destroy the other third of the stadium. The most important thing for a family is to be tidy. It would be inappropriate to leave one third of the stadium unrenovated.

The front end of the Zen stick was so deep in the ground that when Qin Luo pulled it out, he brought out a whole piece of stone. Qin Luo had to smash the whole piece of stone.

During this time, Corazon had regained his balance and distanced himself from Qin Luo.

"Yu Laozang's strength is formidable, but his speed is a clear disadvantage. It seems Corazon is well aware of this and is actively creating distance between himself and his opponent to gain more room to maneuver."

The body contained great strength, but the price was a significant reduction in flexibility and speed. Even if the legs with webbed feet were strong, they were not suitable for movement on land. Of course, the poor coordination between Qin Luo and Orochimaru and this body was also an important factor.

Compared with Qin Luo's previous teleportation in battle, this speed is simply a snail's pace.

As if in provocation, Corazon fired the two small pistols in his hands continuously. The bullets hit Yu Laozang's skin and then bounced away.

An ordinary gunman would have been in despair by now. He couldn't even shoot through the opponent's skin. What's the point of such a battle? You chasing me?

Sorry, not all gunmen can also run marathons. In this case, the first person to die from exhaustion is definitely not the monster.

Corazon displayed superb reloading skills, and the barrage of bullets from both pistols never stopped. But the more this happened, the more pitiful it became, didn't it? Even the Don Quixote family felt that Corazon was struggling to live up to Doflamingo's words of "fight beautifully", not to mention the audience.

"I suddenly feel a little sorry for this mute. How about we give him some encouragement?"

"Then you put your money on Yu Lao Zang."

"That has nothing to do with it. Yu Lao Zang will definitely win. It's just that this overwhelming gap in strength is too unfortunate for the mute. At worst, I can send him some bullets after I win."

"Oh, that's a good idea. How much did you bet on it?"

"Hey, it's not much, only 300,000. The Iron Welfare Bureau can't fail."

"Corazon's strategy was correct. But unfortunately, as we saw, he seemed to be somewhat helpless against Yu Lao Zang's defense."

Most of them expressed their regret for Corazon. Tell me, emcee, did you also suppress Yu Lao Zang?

Qin Luo controlled Yu Lao Zang's body, ignoring the bullets, and ran towards Corazon. With every step he took, the cracked floor of the stadium would tremble.

Corazon watched the approaching Yu Laozang without panicking or attempting to flee. He had a plan; moving and shooting would reduce accuracy, so he stayed where he was. After ensuring Yu Laozang had relaxed his guard, Corazon loaded a row of red bullets into the magazine.

Corazon hid these little movements very well, his expression and movements remained unchanged, and everyone was fooled by his stubbornness.

Knowing his opponent was Yu Lao Zang, how could Corazon be completely unprepared? He hadn't planned on winning before, but now, even if the chances were slim, he was determined to fight. So, from the moment he entered the match, Corazon's eyes became incredibly determined.

"The most important quality of a good shooter is composure. Although Corazon hasn't shown the same strength as Ben Beckman, he is undoubtedly an excellent shooter when facing strong opponents. He remains calm and eager to win, which is something many normal people can't do..."

The emcee described Corazon as a tragic figure with a strong will despite his disability.

"Perhaps many people think that Corazon should now engage his opponent in a moving and shooting manner, rather than waiting to die in one place. However..."

The emcee paused and continued, "It often only takes one bullet to be truly fatal."

The moment the emcee finished speaking, the bullets that had hit Yu Lao Zang exploded with something different. Instead of being deflected, they exploded into pink powder. Three bullets exploded in quick succession, sending up a toxic mist that completely enveloped Yu Lao Zang.

Many fish and toad-like creatures have smooth and elastic skin or scales that can block and reflect most physical damage. However, this ability is not invincible, and sharp slashes can break through this defense.

In addition, if the surface of the skin or scales loses moisture, this extremely strong physical immunity will also be ineffective. These poison powders are prepared by Corazon for this purpose. In fact, the toxicity of the poison powder can even cause secondary damage to the fish.

Corazon certainly didn't go to all that trouble just to break through the defense; otherwise, he might as well have just used poison powder bullets right from the start. There were four 0.3mm special bullets in the magazine. The first three poison powder bullets were modified from ordinary bullets, but the last one was a special armor-piercing bullet.

Encapsulated in the energy of the Silence Fruit, the armor-piercing bullet silently pierced the poisonous fog. Corazon aimed for the eyes. If all went well, the bullet would penetrate the brain and explode. Even a sea king wouldn't be able to survive this level of poison.

The big screen in the stadium played back slow-motion footage of armor-piercing bullets entering the poisonous fog. Combined with the host's commentary, the audience finally understood what had just happened.

"Did it hit the target?" the audience asked about the result.

Corazon reloaded his bullets and stared at the poisonous fog that covered Yu Lao Zang.

A roar that was not like that of a human broke the tranquility of the stadium, and the poisonous fog was dispersed by the dancing of the Zen staff.

Chapter 704: First-class water play

Yu Lao Zang, whose face was dyed pink by the poisonous fog, had a bullet stuck in his right eyelid.

These were the thickest eyelids Corazon had ever seen. He had never thought that his attack would be blocked in this way.

Who of those who can enter the knockout stage will be easily defeated by a surprise attack?

Even when bullying weak teams, there's a certain caution involved. Accidental failures are rare, and while there are certainly instances of players deliberately pulling off upsets by taking advantage of outsiders, this isn't the only situation. But this is the knockout stage, and losing a single match means disqualification.

Corazon had prepared himself mentally, but when he saw his plan fail, he still felt a little unwilling to accept it. But it didn't matter, he still had Plan B.

The slight tingling stimulated Qin Luo's nerves. This long-lost feeling made his blood a little agitated.

There was no coming, and there was a fire of anger burning in Qin Luo's chest.

No, this was not Qin Luo's own emotion. Not to mention that Corazon was Qin Luo's informant, his half-baked sneak attack was not enough to threaten him, let alone make him angry.

That's right, that must be the case. The source of the anger is the instinct of Yu Laozang's body.

He attacks those who offend him, those who invade his territory, and those he wants to prey on. Yu Laozang's body retains the same savage instincts as a wild beast.

This body was too weird. Qin Luo thought of the legendary magic weapon that would make the user lost. Orochimaru wouldn't have accidentally created such a thing.

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Qin Luo quickly calmed his mind and made sure he would not be affected by the emotions of this body again.

With a single stomp, the ground sank half a meter with Yu Laozang at the center, and countless rocks burst forth from the earth. With a swing of his staff, these rocks were like baseballs, being hurled at Corazon one by one by Yu Laozang.

Corazon ran and dodged in a panic. This time he didn't dare to stay where he was, otherwise he would be hit by the huge stone and beaten into a pulp.

The stone's accuracy was not very good, but Qin Luo achieved his goal. Corazon was driven to flee everywhere and had no time to take care of himself, so he had no chance to prepare any more tricks.

Yu Lao Zang slapped the large pot on his back with his left hand, and the lid flew up into the sky, while the ceramic pot shattered into pieces.

This big tank was shown for the first time since entering the knockout round. Everyone was curious about Yu Lao Zang’s new equipment, and now they could finally see its true appearance.

The familiar salty smell of sea water wafting out of the broken vat made everyone realize that it was a whole vat of sea water.

The splashing sea water did not flow to the ground due to gravity, but turned into several turbulent currents, swirling around Yu Laozang beside him.

For Yu Laozang's body, driving the sea water is like an instinct. The flowing sea water wraps around Yu Laozang's body, transforming into a light blue armor.

Soon, the pink poisonous powder was completely washed away, and Yu Laozang's skin returned to its original state.

Yu Lao Zang's powerful water control ability shocked countless people.

In the world of pirates, playing with fire and snakes is not uncommon, but few can play with water, let alone sea water. Doesn't this mean that Yu Lao Zang is the nemesis of all Devil Fruit users?

The excess sea water gathered behind Yu Lao Zang, and the surging water was like a demon descending to the earth.

Even the people in the audience had to look up to see the full face of the "Demon God", let alone Corazon, who was on the same stage as Yu Laozang. At this moment, the pressure on him was definitely the heaviest.

Yu Lao Zang swung his staff in the direction of Corazon. Pulled by him, the water demon transformed into a sea king and pounced towards Corazon.

The ground along the way was turned into a pile of rubble by the ravages of the sea kings. Corazon rolled several times on the ground, barely avoiding being devoured by the "sea kings". But the "sea kings" did not let him go. The sea kings that failed to bite their prey immediately exploded and turned into turbulent water.

Corazon's escape route was completely blocked, and the water continued to converge towards him. For him, the world was a flood. The only way out was to run forward, but Yu Lao Zang was waiting for him at the end of the road.

This is what is often called casting a net to catch fish: the net is cast out and tightened continuously, compressing the living space of the fish in the net until the fisherman catches it. Now Corazon is that fish.

As the net closed in, Corazon's situation didn't improve. Water cannons gathered in Ebizo's hands and launched one after another. The power of the high-pressure water cannons was no less than that of ordinary artillery shells. A direct hit from the water cannons would result in a comminuted fracture at best.

What's more, the water cannon is made of sea water. If Corazon is hit, he will be in desperate situation.

The Devil Fruit users who watched the competition all frowned. After putting themselves in Corazon's shoes, they found that they could not do much more than Corazon.

In a world where Devil Fruits are widely regarded as a high-level combat power, Ebizo is a natural enemy of Devil Fruit users. They dare not imagine Ebizo calling the shots on his home turf, the sea.

Unlike these miserable people, Qin Luo is in a good mood at the moment.

Putting aside the strangeness of this body, the experience of playing as a substitute was quite good. Qin Luo became a completely different character, which was a novel experience, especially when the character was still so powerful. Qin Luo was playing the game as if it were a full stealth fighting game.

Qin Luo had not used his own abilities until the moment he broke the water tank. This body seemed to have awakened a hidden skill and naturally controlled the sea water. Ebizo's ability also opened the door to a "new world" for Qin Luo.

In terms of water control ability, no one in this world can compare to Qin Luo, who has the ability of "Sea Overlord", but before this ability was mostly used for teleportation, weather control and summoning sea kings. Qin Luo did not expect that this method of attacking directly with seawater would be so sharp.

Qin Luo made up his mind that if he had the chance, he would transform into a washing machine and use the tsunami to wash the Navy Headquarters and the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
