Pirates' Max Level System

The "smoke" was the blast of air created by the sound. The overclocked sonic blades stirred the air into a storm of sonic blades, destroying everything within range. The entire arena trembled in the explosion, a quarter of the arena exposed to the baptism of the sonic blade storm.

...0

For the next moment, the entire arena entered silent mode. The first wave of aftermath left everyone temporarily deafened.

After venting its power for a full twenty seconds, the storm of sonic blades finally concluded and exploded, ending its destructive journey. In response, the final aftermath of the explosion, a hemispherical sonic wave, spread out over a thousand meters around the arena before dissipating.

Wherever the sound waves reached, the windows of the house turned into a pile of glass shards again, even though they had just been installed.

One row of spectators was unlucky enough to be too close to the explosion, receiving the most damage and instantly passing out. The rest of the audience wasn't much better, pinned to their seats by the sonic waves. Of all the competitions, being a spectator at a martial arts tournament is arguably the most dangerous, bar none.

The emcee struggled to get up and diligently paid attention to the result of the game. He opened his mouth to scream, but no sound could be heard. He had not yet recovered from his temporary deafness.

Where the Snow Sound Sword exploded, a quarter of the arena disappeared, leaving a huge deep pit, with the Snow Sound Sword stuck in the middle at the bottom of the pit.

Pirkasan lay on the ground more than two meters away from Xueyin Sword. His clothes had disappeared, his body was covered with scars, and some of his hair was missing. Although it was a miserable death, it seemed that he was still alive.

The key now is where is Duoyou?

Chapter 733 After the Storm

Amidst the sonic storm, the armor summoned by the four King Cards saved Pircasan's life, offsetting most of the damage. Of course, minor injuries were unavoidable, and the dense wounds all over his body were nearly disfiguring, but the problem was not serious and was not beyond repair.

Because of the storm, Pierkasan, a rootless duckweed, was dizzy early on and lost consciousness when he landed headfirst. Pierkasan did not suffer much pain, and the pain had nothing to do with him.

After observing Pircasang, the emcee naturally began to search for Tayuya's location.

This is not easy.

After a while, the temporary deafness ended, the body's self-protection mechanism was released, and the host regained his hearing. Then came the severe pain in both ears.

It felt like someone was drilling into their ears with a power drill. The pain caused the emcee to collapse on the commentary booth, groaning in agony. Coincidentally, as these agonizing howls continued, some audience members gradually regained their hearing. The speed of this recovery likely relates to physical fitness.

The process of liberating oneself from the silent world is difficult.

The emcee had to first arrange for the staff who had returned to normal to look after the audience, especially the row closest to the center of the explosion.

Fortunately, except for some unlucky people who were hit by flying rocks, most of the audience did not suffer any other injuries except experiencing a silent world.

The tournament organizers had learned their lesson, anticipating the potential for the competition to spiral out of control. Before the final 32 began, they hired a group of security guards and mercenaries to protect the spectators. While these individuals weren't top-tier, they were quite experienced in handling emergencies and stray arrows.

The emcee and event director all breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were no large-scale casualties, everything could be covered.

No matter how much he liked Tayuya before, the MC now disliked the person who had orchestrated this "terrorist attack" and yet had to find him. He felt very conflicted and unhappy.

Just when the emcee was about to send people to the ruins of the arena to look for someone, a huge piece of floor debris was pushed away from the edge of the arena ruins, and Duoyouya staggered out from the ground, rolled a few times, and fell to the bottom of the pit.

She couldn't stand up. Tayuya didn't have the strength to do so now. It took all her strength to hold on without losing consciousness. The huge wound on her abdomen was still bleeding, and the corners of her mouth were covered with layers of blood.

After exclaiming in disbelief, the host announced Tayuya's victory.

After getting the desired result, Tayu no longer needed to hold on, and fainted with a smile on her face. The next second, Hawkeye, Shanks, and Beckman rushed to her side with a doctor.

"hateful."

At the Don Quixote family's residence, Corazon clenched his fists and cursed in a voice only he could hear. He also wanted to rush to the ring like Hawkeye, but he was not qualified to be there, so he could only vent his anger through the screen.

That year, eighteen, standing next to the video-screen Den Den Mushi, Corazon tearfully swore that he would be in the next competition.

Corazon thought that even if the tickets were scalped, they were not too expensive and his wallet could definitely afford it.

Tayuya actually had another match coming up, but of course she couldn't have it now. The arena was in ruins, so what was the point of fighting?

Not only was a race postponed, but the schedule was also interrupted for two days. Two days is too short a time to repair such a thoroughly damaged stadium. Since this wasn't the first time the schedule had to be adjusted to repair the stadium, the organizers suddenly felt a sense of relief. Was this a desperate move?

Of course, the organizers are determined to renovate the venue, including the safety level and spectator seating. The upcoming matches will only get more intense, and if there's another, even bigger explosion, no one will be held responsible.

"Go and bring Tayuya back. Those quacks will only mislead people."

Tsunade, who was watching the game in the VIP room, said as Qin Luo stood up. It seemed that Tsunade was going to treat Tayuya's injury personally.

"no problem."

Qin Luo naturally followed suit. His original plan was to bring Tayuya to Orochimaru for "fixing," but Tsunade's willingness to help was of course the best. Qin Luo was also hesitant to hand Tayuya over to Orochimaru, as he didn't know what else might have happened to her.

From Orochimaru, Qin Luo learned a lesson: You should never overestimate the bottom line of a mad scientist. When he is in a good mood, there is nothing he can't do.

"and many more……"

"What's wrong again?" Qin Luo looked at Tsunade in surprise.

"Devil Fruit...Tayuya's opponent's Devil Fruit..."

Tsunade said in a very low voice. Tsunade has been in the world of pirates for so long, and her understanding of devil fruits is not what it was before. She just has never been interested in them.

Now Tsunade should be interested in Pircasan's devil fruit and wants Qin Luo to help extract it. This request is very simple for Qin Luo. However, considering that Tsunade is likely to be interested in the role of the card fruit in gambling, this is also unique.

After making an "OK" gesture, Qin Luo disappeared from the room.

By coincidence, Duoyouya and Pierkasan were placed in the same ward and received preliminary treatment. The "family members" of the two injured were arguing outside, and no one noticed Qin Luo's arrival.

With the continuous development of his devouring ability, Qin Luo gradually mastered the ability to peel off the devil fruit without hurting people's lives, and no longer needed to rely on a system like Zhou Paopi.

Not wanting him to die on the spot in the ward, Qin Luo first came to Pircasang's side and began to extract his devil fruit in a gentle way.

Perhaps sensing that something important was about to leave him, the unconscious Pircasang groaned and frowned. However, the severity of his injuries and the mummy-like bandages prevented him from even struggling.

"Relax, 4.8, relax, painless abortion, just pull it out and go." Qin Luo muttered softly while pressing his hand on Pircasang's chest, and the shadow of half a devil fruit emerged from his heart.

"Wait, Boss."

The weak voice startled Qin Luo. When he turned around, he saw that Duoyou had woken up and was still trying to stop him from "avenging" her.

"Are you interested in him? You're not a masochist, are you?"

Qin Luo's nonsense almost made Duoyou faint. However, considering that she felt a little sorry for Pierkasan, Duoyou told Qin Luo some "secrets (gossip)" of the game.

The ups and downs and the heart-wrenching story are beyond the comprehension of outsiders. It can be said to be quite touching and tear-jerking (because of Sting).

This is a man with a story.

Chapter 734: Misfortune Begins

Qin Luo withdrew his hand in dismay. Sympathy was one thing, but he also had a bit of a mysophobia. As for Pircasan, a man with a story, Qin Luo was indifferent to everything he did.

Not to mention extracting something from Pirka-san's body and then putting it into Tsunade. She refused decisively. This kind of thing must not be allowed.

However, the problem was that the half-shadow of the devil fruit exposed on Pirkasan's chest was extremely annoying.

What should I do? Should I stuff it back to him? For a moment, Qin Luo felt like he had no idea where to start.

Qin Luo's stiff expression lasted for a full half minute, even drawing a surprised look from Duoyou. Didn't his boss say he'd let Pierkasan go? Why was he still so reluctant to let him go?

Could it be that the boss had some reason to kill Pierkasan? Duoyou couldn't guess Qin Luo's thoughts. As an excellent subordinate, she immediately chose to obey the decision of her superiors.

Tayuya couldn't see even half of the devil fruit's shadow, otherwise this misunderstanding wouldn't have occurred.

Duoyou's mind raced, and he also had an idea.

"If you ask me, Pirka-san should also be killed." Tayuya said suddenly.

"Ah, what did you say?" Qin Luo, who was in an embarrassing situation, was frightened by Duoyouya's sudden change in attitude. He thought he had heard it wrong.

"Pirkasan must die for three reasons."

"First, this person already knows that I have discovered his secret, and he has murderous intentions, wanting to eliminate me as soon as possible. As our enemy, he deserves to be killed."

"Secondly, this person represents the power of the casino. Since I can't use him, even if he's harmless now, if he can be released early, it will also solve an unstable factor."

"Third, you must have a serious reason for killing him, so Pircasang deserves to die."

Duoyouya was a typical lackey, and it was hard for her to come up with three reasons in such a short time. But the problem was that Qin Luo didn't want to kill Pierkasan at all.

Duoyouya's cross-server chat shocked Qin Luo.

"But boss, there is no rush to kill him. If he dies here, it will cause us a lot of trouble. It is better to wait until he leaves the hospital and then take action secretly." Finally, Duoyouya reminded Qin Luo with a kind face.

Um, Tayuya-sister, are you thinking too much?

"I didn't say I was going to kill him."

"Then what are you doing?"

"It was just an accident."

Tayuya's expression first turned into confusion, then surprise, and finally into despair. She involuntarily leaned back and turned her eyes away, as if to avoid embarrassment.

"Hey, no matter what you're thinking, stop it. I'm not interested in men." Tayuya's expression was too exaggerated. Qin Luo felt that he needed to stop this evil imagination immediately.

Unfortunately, Tayuya only said "hmm" stiffly, and her expression remained unchanged.

"That's enough. I was just afraid that this man would die on the spot. You were a little slow to stop him just now, and I almost took away the remaining half of his life. I'm thinking of ways to save him." Qin Luo pointed at Pircasang and told the truth.

Just as Qin Luo said, after half of his devil fruit was extracted, Pircasan's condition became worse and worse, and the wound that had stopped bleeding opened again. The balance of the devil fruit's power in his body was completely broken by Qin Luo's operation, and his already pale face was even more like a white paint.

"Oh, I can only do it randomly." Because he couldn't come up with a specific plan, Qin Luo could only do it recklessly, and Pircasan's condition could not be delayed any longer.

Even after mastering the Devouring ability for so long, this was the first time Qin Luo encountered a situation where he swallowed half of the Devil Fruit and then pushed it back. The help system could certainly solve the problem easily, provided Qin Luo was willing to pay the price the system demanded. So, this matter had to be solved by Qin Luo himself.

Fortunately, Qin Luo had recently made some progress in his understanding of the ability to devour, so he wasn't completely clueless. Reversing the devouring process, Qin Luo slowly pushed the phantom of the devil fruit back into Pircasan's heart.

The process was not smooth. As the devil fruit was pushed in, blood began to spurt from the wound on Pirkasan, instantly staining the white bandages and bed sheets red. The unconscious Pirkasan also opened his mouth, and blood gushed out of his mouth like a geyser.

These changes frightened Qin Luo, who thought he had made a mistake and quickly stopped what he was doing. Pirkasan's restless blood calmed down. But as Qin Luo continued to work, Pirkasan started again.

After moving and stopping like this, Pirkasan finally stopped vomiting blood, because there was no more blood for him to vomit, and Qin Luo also pressed the devil fruit back completely.

Qin Luo investigated and found that it was not too rough. The Card Fruit merged with Pirkasan again. Although the process was a bit bloody and painful, Qin Luo said it was not a big deal as long as he didn't suffer.

In order to prevent someone from dying on the spot due to excessive blood loss, Qin Luo took out the life orb that he had kept in the bottom of the box to restore Pirkasan's vitality.

First, he swallowed one due to the side effects of "Ebizo", and now he wasted another on Pircasang, which directly emptied Qin Luo's inventory. Looking at the vitality beads disappearing in his hand, Qin Luo sighed and felt distressed. He could only hope that more blind guys would come and help him replenish his stock.

The current situation is not suitable for Qin Luo to take Duoyou away directly. If people outside see the miserable state of Pierkasan, they will definitely label Qin Luo as a killer. So Qin Luo had to choose to take Duoyou away from the hospital through the formal route.

The sight of Pirkasan covered in blood frightened many people. Tayuya managed to get away with it by feigning unconsciousness and using her acting skills. The doctor diagnosed Pirkasan's condition as a recurrence of his injury, but with Pirkasan awake, no one paid much attention to the matter.

"Why am I here? My match is about to start." The first thing Pirka-san said when he woke up made people realize that he had lost his memory. Coincidentally, the lost memory dates back to before the match between him and Tayuya started.

Of course, Qin Luo was responsible for Pirkasan's amnesia. Whether it was the pain he suffered from himself or the bitterness of Duoyou discovering his secret, Qin Luo easily erased them all.

Qin Luo felt that this was better for Pierkasan. On the contrary, his misfortune had just begun.

Even Qin Luo didn't notice why he started to extract the fruit on the spot after seeing Pirkasan, and was stopped by Duoyouya who was seriously injured and unconscious.

Without Qin Luo's impulsiveness, there would not be so much suffering later. Misfortune has befallen Pierkasan, and the luck he borrowed from the future is being returned with interest.

This unlucky man has even lost the memory of borrowing his luck, and a future of hell awaits him.

Chapter 735: Unexpected Enemy

Some people were in bad luck, but Qin Luo's luck started to improve. This was the first time this had happened since he came to Calgary.

The time and manpower issues I had been worried about before were no longer an issue due to the postponement of the martial arts tournament. Tayuya, Shanks, and the others who were freed up were all useful helpers.

Soon after, Orochimaru brought good news that the clone of Vegapunk was completed. Other good news came one after another. The medals and black powder that Qin Luo brought back for Orochimaru and Itachi to investigate also had results one after another.

All the problems were solved so smoothly that Qin Luo was a little surprised. Could it be that he fell into someone else's trap?

"Boss, boss, what do you think?" Itachi's voice brought Qin Luo back from his trance.

There were five people in the underground meeting room of the Dynasul family. In addition to the old butler who was in charge of reception, Qin Luo sat in the main seat, while Orochimaru, Itachi, and the owner of this place, Darwin, sat on both sides of the conference table.

Qin Luo just came to his senses, with a little confusion on his face, "I was thinking about other things just now, I didn't hear what you said?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru showed an expression of "as expected", and then began to play with the box in his hand.

However, Orochimaru did not raise any objection. As a "loyal dog", Itachi would immediately execute the order even if he repeated it ten times, let alone once.

In order to avoid being boring, Itachi borrowed some props this time.

"This is the medal the boss brought back earlier."

Itachi took out the medal Qin Luo had brought back before. Qin Luo was not unfamiliar with this thing because he had handled it before. However, Itachi then took out another medal from his arms, which looked similar to the previous one.

But if they were identical, there were visible differences between the two. The latter exuded an air of antiquity, and the wear marks on the edges of the medal were a testament to time. In comparison, the former looked like a high-quality fake.

Qin Luo suppressed his curiosity. He wanted to see what the weasel was up to.

"After receiving the medal, I began researching Calgary's history. It wasn't easy at first, so I even consulted a renowned historian. Unfortunately, this medal doesn't appear in any historical records, at least not in the official history of the North Sea."

When Itachi mentioned the great scholar who studied history, he glanced at Qin Luo, and Qin Luo realized that he was talking about Olivia. In this world, studying history is like studying nuclear bombs. If you are not careful, you will touch the nerves of the world government and attract the other party to hunt you down.
