Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Chapter 449 The Wandering Earth Project is Only One Person Missing

Goto Ichiri, a mere individual, was undoubtedly defeated by Kanroji Mitsuri's attack.

Jolyne felt no longer worried that she might suddenly jump into the sea due to social anxiety, so she took out the Log Pose distributed by the park. The Log Pose is a compass covered by a transparent glass cover, which looks similar to the Eternal Log from the One Piece anime, except that the base is a different color.

The primary task remains the choice of privilege.

[Note: Your player sequence is S, and you can choose one of three privileges.]

Privilege - Perfect Start: Optimizes existing identity placements, providing you with a better start and granting you at least one viable hidden mission.

Privilege - Unique: You will enjoy the benefits of both the Captain and Hunter factions.

Privilege - Special Crew: The sea is not a place that one person can control. You will acquire a crew member who has at least the potential to become a follower.

Becoming an S-rank not only grants access to intelligence, but also a special privilege at the start of the game. I really don't know how ordinary players would survive if they were matched with an S-rank in the same world for a killing mission. Perhaps the Paradise would never allow S-rank players to participate in killing missions that screen out the weak.

There's no need to consider this question; Jolyne has already decided which privilege to choose.

This option is the privilege - special crew member.

After all, the first two are really useless.

His strength is already beyond the limit, so there's no need to optimize the current start. The clues to the hidden missions are even more useless. No matter how the world changes, some basic intelligence will remain the same. The various information Jolyne knows is essentially a series of hidden missions.

And what makes it different?

Jolyne's faction is Captain, and choosing this privilege will grant additional benefits from the Hunter faction.

That is, the tracking compass at the start of the game.

It allows you to hunt additional delicacies to improve your rating.

The hunter faction cannot kill him either.

None of these three benefits are useful!

Because of his overwhelming strength, Jolyne might worry about being killed by the Hunter faction. He fears that when the opposing Hunters track him down, they will simply pull out a faction-switching card and declare that they will be his slaves from now on.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

Just like the warning on cigarette packs that "smoking is harmful to your health," the park's rules state that "the game is too difficult and it is not recommended to hunt each other," but the implication is clear: "it will be too late if you don't hunt each other now."

First, there are only ten record pointers, and there can only be a maximum of ten winners. The remaining players can only die or have the game end with a rating of C.

Secondly, the Hunter faction's tracking compass can display the location of all players at the start of the game, and the victory record pointer is in the captain's hands. This means that the Hunter faction players will inevitably start to unite, and even ten of them will gather to hunt down the lone wolf.

The captain will also realize this. The threat of being hunted will force the captain to kill as many hunter players as possible whenever they see them, thus reducing the number of hunters in the hunter faction. Otherwise, who can guarantee that this time they will stop and the enemy will not bring more hunters to hunt them down next time?

None of this has anything to do with Jolyne.

Even if ten hunters gather together, even if they lock onto him, Jolyne's side still has ten people who can have a fair fight against the other side.

For every person who comes, kill them.

Come in a group, kill them all.

Jolyne had no intention of searching for hunters.

But if they come over, they'll just have to work harder by opening a few more treasure chests.

Therefore, only special crew members are somewhat useful.

Since the park has stated that this special crew member has the potential to become a follower, then at least he possesses the strength and knowledge to explain to Jolyne and her group what the seas have become and what major events have occurred in recent years.

And what if you get a good hand?

Jolyne glanced at her Lucky 3 and, as expected, couldn't resist the urge to activate the card.

[You have selected the privilege - special crew member]

[A special crew member is approaching you. Please locate this special crew member yourself.]

"!!!"

The human-faced dog was following behind Jolyne when her ahoge (cowlick) suddenly stood up. After a couple of seconds, she understood the message sent by the ghost ship: "Master, radar shows a ship approaching us."

"Is this coming?"

Presumably, there were special crew members on board. The Hound of the Humanface turned its bow around, and Jolyne looked through the storm toward the location indicated by the Hound of the Humanface. There she saw a dilapidated pirate ship heading toward her.

The pirate flag is a skull with a profile view and a red heart pattern.

"That's the Alvida Pirates?!"

Jolyne's smile vanished. "Could the special crew member Paradise gave me be Koby?"

Who is Koby?

Joan of Arc asked, and the others, noticing the situation, swarmed over.

"A deserter who worked 200 times harder."

"Twenty-five times?"

Saeko Busujima asked in surprise, "Even the time difference in the main world is only 24 times."

"That's why it's so incredible."

Seeing that the other ship was almost falling apart, the Hound of the Faces took the initiative to go to meet it, and only then did the Alvida Pirates realize the existence of the Hound of the Faces.

The pirates were overjoyed.

"No need to repair the ship, men, there's a perfectly good big ship up ahead!"

"Loot! Loot!"

"Hans, move the gun barrel over here!"

"The gunpowder has been soaked!"

"Hehehe, then let's call her Captain Alvida!"

"Fool, you should call me Captain Alvida, the most beautiful captain the Abyss has ever been since its birth!"

With a horrible roar, a gigantic mountain of flesh wielding a large bone club emerged from the ship's cabin. Her body resembled a lasagna, with layers upon layers of fat so thick they could trap flies. The stench was palpable, and her black aura even distorted the raindrops.

Alvida stared greedily at the Hound of the Human Face with her murky eyes, which were almost squeezed shut. With a casual swipe of her club, she smashed the head of her subordinate who had spoken out of turn. White and red splattered onto the roasted meat on the bone club, but she didn't care and tore off a big bite of meat as if it were seasoning.

Then she was completely taken aback by a single sentence.

"gross."

It can no longer be considered harsh; the three words Joan of Arc uttered unconsciously can only be described as the truth.

"really."

Jolyne was also very straightforward, saying, "If we could extract enough oil from it, it would be enough to power Earth to travel all the way to Alpha Centauri."

At least the [Jie] in [Mysterious Wei Jin] has a divine beauty that transcends mortals, and the evil god in [Black Network] can also disguise himself as the White Lotus Sect's holy maiden who is popular in the nightlife industry. But isn't your product of [Abyss Demon] too wildly growing and an eyesore?

"Men, kill all the ugly women except that man!"

Alvida broke down and shouted.

The women on the boat were so angry they laughed.

"Who will kill her?"

"I come."

The banner of curse appeared in Joan of Arc's hand, and black flames descended upon the world to burn away all filth.

Chapter 450 The Navigator Arrives

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Alvida let out a battle cry, but the flames on her body burned even more fiercely. She leaped into the sea with all her might, but she could not extinguish the flames on her body. She was forcibly refined into oil to contribute to the Wandering Earth Project. In the end, only a treasure chest floated to the surface.

As a future member of one of the Four Emperors' crews, she naturally has the right to loot a treasure chest.

As for why she shouldn't have dropped a treasure chest since Jolyne wasn't killed by her own hand? This is because Jolyne, who killed her, had been bound by a war god contract with Jolyne. In essence, Jolyne could also be considered Jolyne's talent, so her head was naturally attributed to Jolyne by Paradise.

"In One Piece, a single character can survive a thousand episodes without dying, but in my story, which has only just begun, I've already killed a crew member of a future Yonko."

Jolyne complained as she pinched Joan of Arc's delicate nose. "I was originally planning to study these so-called Abyssal Demons, but now their souls are all burned up. You're not allowed to make any more moves next time."

The physical body is fused into the workshop's energy, and the soul is thrown into the Underworld for energy supply. Rare individuals can even be reincarnated as ghosts and go to the kingdom to start a second life as slaves. It would indeed be too wasteful to burn them to death directly.

"Hmph~" Joan of Arc shook her head in dissatisfaction, "My happiness is far more important than a little bit of energy!"

That's why I said next time.

Jolyne looked at the pirate ship opposite. The pirates on board didn't dare to breathe, but no matter how scared they were, they didn't dare to jump ship to escape. They could only stand timidly on the deck and wait for the trial to begin.

"I don't see Coby? Surely Alvida isn't the special crew member Paradise gave me?"

Alvida certainly has the potential to become a follower, although judging from her action of jumping into the sea just now, she definitely hasn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet.

Saeko Busujima picked up the treasure chest, casually tossed it onto the deck, and said, "My Nen ability didn't detect anything special on this ship."

"I couldn't detect it with my divine sense either."

That's why Jolyne was somewhat speechless.

His card draw seems to have gone wrong.

Although Jolyne verbally criticized Coby when she saw the Alvida Pirates, she secretly hoped that Nami, the navigator, would appear.

After all, Luffy first met Nami on Alvida's pirate ship.

More precisely, Nami first appeared on the passenger ship that Alvida attacked. When Luffy knocked Alvida away, the little burglar Nami appeared and stole the Alvida Pirates' treasure.

There are no passenger ships now, and judging from Alvida's disgusted look towards women prettier than her, Nami is unlikely to appear. In other words, he actually drew Alvida in his gacha pull.

This is still the version where the character didn't eat the Slippery Fruit.

"Kill them all."

Jolyne turned around speechlessly, preparing to open the box.

Unbeknownst to the others, amidst the surging waves beneath the pirate ship, there was a patch of seawater that was lighter in color than the surrounding water.

"There's treasure on board! Ah!"

"Sir, please let us go!"

“I was tied to the ship by Alvida, and I absolutely did not do anything bad.”

No one, not even a ghost, would believe such nonsense. Saeko Busujima suppressed her grotesque cries and drew her sword. The moment she did, a huge crescent-shaped slash shot towards the pirate ship. The unlucky pirate was instantly torn to pieces, while the lucky pirate who dodged it was swallowed up by the storm along with the ship.

"They don't even want the treasure on the ship."

The Alvida Pirates, worth 500 million Berries, were completely wiped out today. Nami, watching from below the surface, felt her heart bleed as she witnessed the other side not even taking the treasure from the ship. Especially since Alvida's head could be exchanged for 500 million Berries, and she only needed 20 Alvidas.

But with the pirate ship in such a terrible state right before her eyes, even though Nami was heartbroken over the loss of the treasure, she dared not make a sound. She simply held onto her powers and waited for the vicious pirate crew to leave.

The pirates who had fallen into the water were tossed about in the torrential rain, their cries of agony and curses filling the air.

They were indeed scum, Nami was certain of that, but for some reason, a different scene appeared in her brown pupils.

That was in Cocoyasi Village ten years ago. Everyone was happy because the oranges from the island, which had suddenly undergone a strange change, would fetch a better price. But on the sea, a pirate ship that was gradually approaching shattered everything.

Bellemere died that day.

The laughing fishmen, who called themselves a race superior to humans, dragged the villager by the back of the head with their ferocious claws all the way to the surface of the sea. Then they shoved the villager's face into the ocean. "It doesn't matter if you can't pay the protection fee, as long as you can prove that you are a noble child of the sea, just like the fishmen. Of course, that's absolutely impossible, hehehe~!"

The struggling villagers fell silent, and the island began to worship an evil god. Nami, who survived, somehow gained the favor of that evil god. In order to save the villagers of Cocoyasi Village, Nami became a navigator in the face of coercion from the Arlong Pirates. The Arlong Pirates also promised her that they could redeem the village from him for 100 million Berries.

So she became the little thief cat again.

Just then, Nami suddenly heard the whispers of that being deep in her ears. She felt nauseous and realized that she had been using [Melting into the Sea] for too long. If this continued, she would inevitably undergo a distortion sooner or later.

Nami steadied herself, trying to stop herself from recalling the pain of the past, while observing the large purple ship, trying to figure out why the other side hadn't left yet.

Just then, a conversation suddenly came from the Human-Faced Dog that made her heart skip a beat.

"A Devil Fruit treasure map? You can actually find something like that in the Paradise treasure chest?"

What kind of fruit could it be?

"It's most likely the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, which can make a person's skin smooth."
