"He actually capsized the ship with us on board! Damn him, how is he going to compensate us?"
The speaker was a tall, thin man wearing cat-paw-like sleeves.
Beside him was a similarly cat-paw-sleeved man, but he was corpulent and had a black birthmark on half of his face. He was a Cat Man.
They were the combat captains of the Black Cat Pirates.
Behind the two of them stood a curly-haired man wearing cherry-red tinted glasses and a dazzling patterned shirt.
"Oh no, it's the Black Cat Pirates!"
A boatman among Olut Luk's merchant ship crew recognized the pirate group members and let out a terrified cry.
"Huh? Weren't the Black Cat Pirates already destroyed? Even their captain was imprisoned by Captain Nezumi…"
"The Black Cat Pirates, a terrifying pirate crew with a total bounty of nearly 20 million Berries! I don't want to die!"
"Perhaps they're just an inferior pirate crew impersonating them. Don't be afraid, everyone."
A burly middle-aged man from the merchant ship's guard swallowed his saliva, saying this to those around him, and also to comfort himself.
Despite his imposing physique, reality had long since taught him a harsh lesson.
In the Pirate World, there were various methods for physical training, combat techniques, and even different Devil Fruit abilities; physique didn't play a decisive role.
If it really was the Black Cat Pirates, he would definitely give up resisting and surrender with both hands.
"I only earn 300,000 Berries a month; I can't sacrifice my life for this!"
The guard captain, outwardly calm but inwardly panicking, thought as he adopted a combat stance.
Olut Luk desperately hid behind everyone, avoiding being targeted by the vicious pirate crew.
Although he was arrogant and viewed all commoners as trash, he wasn't an idiot.
If he were captured by the Black Cat Pirates, he wouldn't die, but he would definitely be demanded a large ransom, and it would damage his noble reputation.
He valued noble reputation greatly.
Back then, even when he broke ties with his biological son, Sabo, he still insisted on burning down the Gray Terminal to welcome the Celestial Dragons. He watched indifferently as Sabo's ship was shelled by the Celestial Dragons, feeling no pain at all. Instead, he felt fortunate that the Celestial Dragons hadn't discovered Sabo's identity as his son.
"Sham, go pick out the nobles and have their families pay ransom for them."
"What about the others?"
"They're useless anyway, just let them go."
Butchie smiled helplessly, waving his cat paws, assessing the guard captain's defensive posture as if he were a ridiculous ant attempting to resist.
He said this aloud, but secretly gave Sham a signal.
This was merely to make the sheep lower their guard; their goal was to kill everyone present.
Since they had recognized the Black Cat Pirates, no one could be left alive. Otherwise, it would easily disrupt Captain Kuro's plan of infiltrating Shiroppu Village. If the captain's plan failed, they would all be killed.
The nobles could be killed after the ransom was collected.
Just as the scene became utterly chaotic, on the verge of a full-blown battle, currents of air suddenly spread out.
Regardless of their strength, everyone present felt a heavy pressure.
The Pirate World had no Chakra, but it did possess the three types of Haki. Among them, the rarest Conqueror's Haki was a terrifying mixture of physical and spiritual energy, forming an outwardly radiating force field similar to an aura.
When activated, it could exert pressure, easily intimidating weaker enemies.
Fang Yi had not awakened Haki, but the Energy Golden Body he had condensed contained energy far superior to Haki. He deliberately restrained himself, only releasing a trace of his aura to break the tense atmosphere.
"Welcome, lucky players, to the Reincarnation Game."
Fang Yi spread his arms, a sense of satisfaction akin to an old farmer seeing a new crop of leeks on his face.
A terrifying body, unmatched even by the Giant Tribe, floated in mid-air. This sight alone scared everyone into immobility.
"Sir, please save us! I am willing to offer my treasures, I swear on the honor of the Olut Luk family."
Olut Luk, who had been hiding in the back, suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.
The mysterious giant who had suddenly appeared, judging by his attire, wasn't a pirate and hadn't immediately attacked. He seemed approachable.
He didn't believe the Black Cat Pirates' lie about letting them go.
He spoke up to muddy the waters; even if he couldn't hire this mysterious giant, he had to find a way to provoke a conflict between him and the Black Cat Pirates so he could escape in the chaos.
"I don't care about your treasures."
Fang Yi glanced at the speaking Olut Luk and smiled, "If I wanted such things, I could pile them up to fill the entire world."
No sooner had he spoken,
The entire rocky beach began to vibrate, and countless black gravel underwent a strange transformation, turning into dazzling gold in the blink of an eye.
Bright and glittering.
A red-haired girl who had been pretending to be dead in the corner squinted her eyes, subtly slipping two pieces into her pocket.
Olut Luk exclaimed in surprise, "You're a Devil Fruit user!"
As a noble, he was naturally well-informed and knew about the existence of Devil Fruits.
Capable of instantly producing gold, was the giant before him a Gold-Gold Fruit user?
Even though he knew he was still in danger, Olut Luk couldn't help but feel a surge of greed within him.
"Respected Giant, we mean no offense. We hope you can let us leave…"
Hypnotist Zango said, his voice lacking confidence.
He was also very panicked now. Although physique and strength were not strongly related, that was under normal circumstances, assuming both parties were human.
The giant who had suddenly appeared had already exceeded the scope of ordinary humans; he could probably stomp the entire Black Cat Pirates to death with one foot.
Even if the captain, with his 16 million Berry bounty, came, he would probably be crushed into a pulp.
"Leave?"
Fang Yi unhurriedly pulled out a shimmering rune, which integrated into the Game Tower, and then observed this group of players.
[Pirate Zango (Blue)], [Pirate Butchie (Green)], [Pirate Sham (Green)], [Pirate Pearl (White)], [Noble Olut Luk (Green)], [Thief Nami (Silver)]…
This was a new Soul Rune he had created, capable of detecting a player's general world information and soul potential.
It cost 50,000 reward points.
This allowed Fang Yi to quickly filter out players who could be observed more closely.
Most ordinary people had white soul potential, meaning their talent, luck, and the inherent origin energy within them were all extremely low.
They were cannon fodder.
Green-level soul potential was slightly better than ordinary people; they might have good talent in some areas, or perhaps better luck, or contain more origin energy.
Above that was blue-level soul potential, which was considered quite outstanding in the Pirate World. As pirates, their bounties could exceed 10 million; as Marines, they could reach the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
In the Naruto World, they could at least become a Chunin.
"I didn't expect such good luck; I just arrived in the Pirate World and already recruited a player with silver soul potential."
Fang Yi's gaze fell on a black rock by the sea.
A body, appearing to have drowned, was entangled with seaweed, mud, and sand covering its face, leaving only two nostrils for breathing.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Nami quietly pretended to be a drowned shipwright.
