Pirates' Max Level System

Qin Luo no longer had any thoughts about Darwin's belated realization. Does it matter who comes at this time? Aren't they all causing trouble for the Dinasur family?

When he finally left, Qin Luo gave Darwin only one order, which was to fully cooperate with Itachi in carrying out the subsequent plan.

After leaving the Dynasul family's manor, Qin Luo did not go back directly. Instead, he went to Orochimaru's new laboratory to see the progress there.

This was not the first time Qin Luo came to Orochimaru's laboratory. Shortly after pressing the "doorbell", the secret door of the laboratory opened and someone greeted Qin Luo at the secret door.

Under the dim light, Vegapunk stood there with an indifferent expression.

"Vegapunk, why are you here?" For a moment, Qin Luo was a little confused. He gave up the excellent experimental conditions in the base provided by the Dynasul family and ran to Orochimaru. This must be true love.

Wasn’t it agreed that we were just pen pals? How come Orochimaru even kidnapped her?

"No, it's not Vegapunk, you are Orochimaru." Qin Luo suddenly realized something.

After Qin Luo finished speaking, Vegapunk's skin turned into ashes and dissipated like a burning sticker. In an instant, the familiar Orochimaru appeared before Qin Luo's eyes.

"Haha, doesn't it look like it? I thought I could lie for a little longer."

The tone of Orochimaru's mouth and the expression on his face did not show the disappointment of being discovered. Instead, it was full of teasing. He must have seen Qin Luo's surprise just now and was secretly proud of it.

Qin Luo repeated to himself three times in his heart: I bought it with money, I bought it with money, I bought it with money. Only then did he barely suppress the urge to beat Orochimaru.

"A new transformation jutsu? Are you planning on playing Vegapunk yourself?"

"I used Vegapunk's cells to create a layer of fake skin. Unless someone uses something like soul scanning or some special means, no one can see the flaws in it."

Orochimaru was very confident in his new transformation technique and thought it was flawless, but wasn't he seen through just now?

Are you bragging or is it Orochimaru who is good at bragging? Just when Qin Luo was about to taunt him, he suddenly realized that he had just identified Orochimaru by relying on the system's lock. In other words, Orochimaru was not bragging.

Qin Luo pursed his lips. For some reason, he always felt a little regretful that he had lost the opportunity to mock Orochimaru.

"As for playing Vegapunk, is there anyone better than me? Not everyone can play the role of a knowledgeable researcher. Boss, you can't just pick some idiot who hasn't even done any experiments to replace Vegapunk."

It must be said that what Orochimaru said makes sense. Knowledge reserves and experimental levels cannot be faked by acting. In fact, from the beginning, Qin Luo intended to give this task to Orochimaru, but he did not say it explicitly.

……

While talking about the plan with Orochimaru, Qin Luo walked into the laboratory. At this time, in the glass culture tank in the center of the laboratory, the previous experimental subject had been removed and replaced by a growing body.

Vegapunk No. 2, but this body is a little younger, like the appearance of Vegapunk when he was young.

"Is it going well?" Qin Luo pointed to the culture tank in the center.

When it comes to technology, Orochimaru is still reliable. "It's okay. Cloning technology is quite mature in the world of Naruto. However, it's a bit troublesome to train it to the same level as Vegapunk's current one."

"As soon as possible. According to the latest news, those guys may take action early."

The known intelligence is that the Navy and the Germa Kingdom may advance their plans, and the Don Quixote family may also get wind of the situation and take action.

"I'll do my best." Orochimaru said indifferently.

"I can give you the task of pretending to be Vegapunk, but don't go too far and mess things up for me."

With Orochimaru's revengeful mindset, he would never let the Don Quixote family have an easy time if he had the chance. Qin Luoming knew this, but still gave him the task of playing Vegapunk.

You really have to give it to me. Orochimaru was obviously making excuses just now. This is what they call not giving up until you see the rabbit.

"Then there's no problem."

It’s true, so true.

Chapter 718: Aokiji's One-Day Hiding

The news of the navy sending reinforcements was kept secret.

Among the many forces in Calgary, apart from Qin Luo and others who learned about it accidentally, the only people who knew about it were Aokiji and his adjutant.

Strictly speaking, it was Aokiji who requested these reinforcements from the Naval Headquarters.

Finally, reinforcements did arrive, but Aokiji was not happy at all. The reinforcements he wanted were soldiers, warships, and cannons, not some yellow monkey who would share the credit with him.

Now that Kizaru is already halfway there, he can't just let him go back. Aokiji doesn't have that ability. The only way is to maximize the credit for himself before Kizaru arrives.

So whenever there were no competitions, Aokiji would stay in the Don Quixote family's territory. Today was another day of lurking.

Just like now, Aokiji followed several cadres of the Don Quixote Family's Plum Blossom Army from a distance. After these guys came out of Don Quixote's base, they sneaked all the way to the port.

The Plum Blossom Army is a special capability group of the Don Quixote family. After Vergo of the Heart Army became a spy, many special missions were completed by the Plum Blossom Army.

Coupled with the strange behavior of this group of people, it immediately attracted Aokiji's attention.

They boarded a fishing boat at the port and left among the many ships setting sail.

Don't think that no one will follow them once they are at sea. This is not a problem for Aokiji, even though he did not deploy any ships in advance.

After finding a secluded corner, Aokiji jumped into the sea.

The moment he landed in the sea, a thick layer of ice had formed on the surface of the sea directly below him, just enough to hold him back. Every time he took a step, a piece of floating ice would appear under his feet, and as he stepped over it, it would quickly melt into the seawater.

Just like this, a white ghost moved among the densely packed ships in the harbor, taking advantage of the gaps of less than one meter.

Later on, there were fewer ships parked, so Aokiji used the ships that were about to set sail as cover and moved back and forth under their ships.

Preparations for the ship's departure were not so simple, and thanks to this, no one noticed the ghostly Aokiji.

Before the Don Quixote family left the harbor, Aokiji leaped with all his might, landing on the stern of the fishing boat with a thud. Because it was a last-minute emergency, Aokiji jumped as fast as he could to avoid being seen, which inevitably led to some loss of strength.

"Did you hear that?"

"what."

"It was just a weird sound. Like something hit the boat."

"No, absolutely not. Besides, there are so many ships out at sea, so it's normal for any ship to make some noise. Don't be so suspicious."

The flaw Aokiji had created caused a commotion among the Don Quixote Family members on the fishing boat. None of his companions agreed with him, but the one who had raised the question clearly wasn't going to give up.

The man could vaguely feel that the sound came from the stern, so he rushed to the stern and looked down.

Aokiji only heard a series of hurried footsteps, and it was too late to react now.

no one.

There was nothing strange at the stern, and this was the result of the cautious Don Quixote's investigation. Unconvinced, he walked around the ship and checked the hold, but still found nothing suspicious.

Could it be that he really heard it wrong?

The commotion subsided and the fishing boat set sail as normal. Aokiji, who had been hiding, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was something strange about where he was hiding.

Most of the sea vessels of this period had a bow or a ram. The ones like the Golden Merry and the Thousand Sunshine had a sheep's head and a lion's head, which were even more bizarre.

The fishing boat had a pointed triangular ram at the bow, but it was relatively narrow and couldn't hide a person. But Aokiji was different. He turned himself into a block of ice and curled up into a ball, freezing underneath the inner side of the ram. From the perspective of the people on the boat, it was impossible to see Aokiji.

They would never have guessed there was someone hiding here. The only chance of exposure would be if someone touched the cold horn. But that chance didn't happen.

Aokiji's infiltration was successful. Of course, he couldn't hide in this place for long, as the ships nearby could see him clearly.

After waiting a while longer, Aokiji carefully moved to a corner of the fishing boat's hold, becoming the most relaxed guest on board. He gazed at the sea while using a compass to plot a course on the map, waiting for the Don Quixote family to take him to their destination.

The route was directed to a private island near Calgary. The map showed that the Dynasul Family Dinosaur Research Institute was located ahead.

This spy ship, disguised as a fishing boat, also encountered a patrol fleet of the Dinasur family, but Aokiji discovered that the captain of the patrol fleet was obviously acquainted with Don Quixote's cadres.

After paying a sum of money, the patrol fleet let the fishing boat pass. Later, the fishing boat encountered the fleet twice more, but with the help of connections and money, it finally got in.

Why would an unimportant dinosaur research institute have a patrol fleet that is clearly oversized? And why could the Don Quixote family bribe these people?

These two questions made Aokiji realize that the things hidden on this island were not simple.

Could it be him? A thought flashed through Aokiji's mind, and he suddenly became excited.

At a corner of the island, a fishing boat docked, and all the Don Quixote family members disembarked and began to work. Aokiji didn't know what they were doing, but that didn't stop him from eavesdropping on the final result.

"are you sure?"

"Of course, both the plants and the soil match."

"What about the smell on the clothes? Quick, take out a piece and compare it."

"No, please spare me. It's definitely the sour smell of dinosaur meat. I just passed by a place that looked like a slaughterhouse, and the smell almost made me vomit."

""

"That's it, young master is not wrong."

"This was basically confirmed when we set out, right? We're just here to confirm it."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you found the real exit?"

"It's difficult. This place is too big. It will take a lot of time to investigate without being noticed."

Aokiji heard every word of the conversation between the Don Quixote family cadres.

Clothes, debris, plants... a string of memories flooded his mind. He could no longer mistake them for the clothes of Beta, the Nezumi, taken away by Doflamingo. And this island wasn't hiding a dinosaur research institute, but rather Vegapunk's hideout.

Doflamingo, this man, actually used a few clues on the clothes to deduce the real location. It was really scary. But this time, Aokiji really had to thank Doflamingo.

Once Vegapunk's location is determined, the rest will be easy.

Chapter 719: Money Distribution and New Round of Competition

There was no possibility of continuing the exploration of the entrance, as Don Quixote's men seemed to want to leave before the patrol fleet changed shifts.

Aokiji did not stay either, and went back with Don Quixote's fishing boat.

Aokiji knew that haste can lead to failure. Even the Don Quixote family, who had bribed the guards, were so cautious in such a place. He had no intelligence and no connections, so a reckless move would only alert the enemy.

Besides, the Don Quixote family has provided money and effort, so all he has to do is wait for the rewards.

It's no secret that people feel refreshed when good things happen. Ever since they discovered the secret of Vegapunk's hideout, Aokiji no longer has to worry about Kizaru trying to steal his credit, and he even relaxed more in subsequent competitions.

And so, the competition to advance to the round of 16 began.

After more than half a month of on-and-off action, the martial arts tournament finally drew to a close. The 32 contestants who emerged from the sea of ​​​​people were each renowned and powerful.

And these people will continue to fight for the final victory in the subsequent games.

Because it wasn't the finals, the organizers couldn't prepare a special ceremony for today's competition. But before the competition began, the organizers invited the top 32 contestants and distributed their prize money in front of the audience.

Special checks were delivered to the contestants, and with this check, anyone could withdraw two million Baileys from a bank in Calgary.

It's not registered and no tax is required. It's real two million Baileys.

The organizers are using simple methods to heat up the atmosphere. I imagine countless people are already eagerly preparing to participate in the next martial arts tournament.

Two million Baileys was indeed a lot, and only a few of the contestants with a lot of money would look down on the prize money. And these definitely didn't include the Red Hair Pirates, who were used to being poor.

The three members of the Red Hair Pirates had always acted like conjoined twins, spending most of their time together. Shanks, shaking the bill in his hand, said in disbelief, "This thing can really be exchanged for two million. It feels like money is a bit easy to make."

Shanks' words caused Beckman to roll his eyes. "Captain, even though we're poor, don't act so uncouth. Can't you see that everyone around you is looking at you strangely?"

"Shanks, two million berries is nothing. It's not even a fraction of your future bounty." Beckman coughed to remind his captain to be more restrained, but it seemed to be of no use.

"The bounty can't be exchanged for money. If I turn myself in at the Navy Headquarters, can they still transfer the money to my account?"

Beckman opened his mouth wide and started coughing violently. The previous cough was fake, but this time it was real. He was choked by his saliva.

Beckman wanted to shut his captain's mouth immediately. If his words were caught and broadcast on the radio, the reputation of the Red Hair Pirates would become a laughing stock.

Beckman then snatched the note from Shanks' hand. He confiscated it, using it as funds for the pirate ship's activities to take away the source of Shanks's sin. Furthermore, Beckman also set his sights on the note in Hawkeye's hand.

"No way, two million is not enough to buy a good knife, don't think about it from me." Well, Hawkeye began to pay attention to saving money for his wife.

Because he was relatively close, Aokiji had a full view of the Red Hair Pirates' small theater. Aokiji, feeling elated, couldn't help but make some calculations in his mind.

Are the Red Hair Pirates so short of money? Perhaps we can take advantage of this.

Since it was inconvenient to mobilize the navy, Aokiji was extremely short of manpower. The Red Hair Pirates were quite strong, so perhaps they could be hired to do something.

Missions like tailing Doflamingo or sabotaging him to divert attention could be assigned to them without worrying about their intentions being exposed. The relationships between the forces in Calgary were complicated, and who could have guessed that this lone "pirate" was actually a member of the navy?

Aokiji wasn't a navy officer like Akainu, who upheld absolute justice. He had no problem hiring pirates like the Red Hair Pirates, who had fewer criminal records and fewer shady pasts. Funding for the campaign wasn't a problem either; it was at least more than the two million berries he had.

Perhaps the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Aokiji looked at the bill in his hand with a more playful look, and from time to time he would glance around the room to see if there were any extra options.

If Qin Luo knew what Qingzhi was thinking at the moment, he would probably jump for joy. Qingzhi was a good comrade. Not only did he not ask for salary when filming with him, but he could also solve the food problem of other actors.

He'd been agonizing lately about how to guide Aokiji to continue following the script. One time wasn't enough; a good script should clearly define the actors' roles.

We can't always have Nezumi Beta and Aokiji playing opposite each other. Nezumi Beta said that he was under a lot of pressure.
