Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

"So many shield crabs?!"

Qin Su, who finally arrived at the edge of the bay, was riding on horseback.

Looking at the densely packed carapace on the beach in the distance, his face was full of surprise.

As a member of the Teigu World, he knew these shield crabs even without reading the Monster Manual.

They are generally divided into 'small shield crabs' and 'large shield crabs'.

Mostly found in humid areas, especially near the sea.

However, some oases can occasionally be seen in the desert.

Among them, the scientific name of the 'Little Shield Crab' is 'Ashigaru Shield Crab', which is rated as a 'Level Three Dangerous Species' by the Empire.

The scientific name of the ‘Daming Shield Crab’ is ‘Daimyo Shield Crab’, which is a ‘Level 2 Dangerous Species’.

It can be seen from these names that in the 'Teigu World', they mainly live in the territory of the 'Kamiwa Island Kingdom'.

But this was also the first time Qin Su saw a living creature.

They used to appear on his dining table as prepared seafood ingredients.

"A small shield crab scores three points, and a large shield crab scores five points. I also saw some purple shield crabs and general sickle crabs."

‘Susano’o’ warned Qin Su seriously.

"Be careful. Although the Purple Shield Crab is also a 'Level 2 Dangerous Species', it is much stronger than the Giant Shield Crab. The General Sickle Crab is even more of a 'Level 1 Dangerous Species'!"

In fact, for him, the level 1 dangerous species is not too strong.

It's just that there are too many of them, and they have to be distracted to protect Qin Su.

"rest assured!"

Qin Su nodded in agreement with a very serious expression, and then turned over and dismounted.

Although Barnetta's horses have some fighting ability, neither of them are the type to fight right away, so they should be left here.

Don't worry about them running away.

Barnetta horses are very smart and loyal. As long as they are not abused, they will not abandon their riders under normal circumstances.

"Let's start with the outer ones first, and you'll be responsible for both sides!"

‘Susano’o’ held a ‘six-ring steel rod’ and started sprinting towards the beach.

"clear!"

Although Qin Su is the master, at this time, he is more willing to follow the other party's instructions.

The two people moved in tandem.

It soon attracted the attention of many nearby ‘shield crabs’ and ‘sickle crabs’.

【boom! 】

‘Susano’o’ took the lead, waving the ‘steel rod’ in his hand after a series of afterimages, smashing the ‘shield crabs’ and ‘scythe crabs’ that came in front of him into pieces, and their flesh and blood splattered.

Their seemingly invulnerable carapace and chelicerae appear as fragile as paper.

But this time the protagonist is not him.

【Snapped! 】

Qin Su suddenly stopped running.

Before the 'shield crabs' and 'sickle crabs' on both sides approached, he squatted down and slapped his palms hard on the soft golden beach.

【Sizzling】

In an instant, blue-white electric currents surged in his palms and spread outward along the ground.

As these currents grew, wisps of white mist spewed out from the originally warm gravel.

next moment.

Sharp icicles with mist flowing on their surfaces suddenly shot out from the ground at high speed.

Instantly pierce through the 'shield crabs' and 'sickle crabs' approaching Qin Su.

But immediately these icicles turned into pools of blood, soaking the originally dry and warm gravel.

In the following time, 'Susano'o' and Qin Su cooperated with each other to quickly kill one after another 'Ashigaru Shield Crab', 'Daimyo Shield Crab', and even 'Purple Shield Crab' and 'Shogun Kama Crab' .

This caused the 'Justice Detector' hanging on Qin Su's left arm to continuously sound scoring prompts.

A cheerful smile gradually appeared on Qin Su's face.

This kind of powerful experience is really fascinating.

Father, and everyone in the empire, have you seen it?

I'm really working hard!

The emperor, civil and military officials, and the people of the ‘Teigu World’.

Of course I saw Qin Su's performance and was happy, proud and cheering for it.

At the same time, Im on Noah's Ark also saw it.

"It's interesting that the 'little emperor' has changed so much."

"It seems that the main research direction of his alchemy is the 'property of water'."

Im sat on the chair and looked at the virtual screen in front of Esdeath, feeling amazed in her heart.

His impression of this 'little emperor' still remained the same as in the 'original work'.

He is naive and kind-hearted, but he mistrusted Minister Ernest. It can also be said that he was deceived.

In the end, even if he went to the execution platform, he still expressed his love to Najiexitan.

Although he is not worthy of being emperor, he hopes they can build a peaceful and peaceful country without any more bloodshed.

So Im had a good impression of Qin Su.

After all, what else can you do to a twelve-year-old child other than trusting the 'father' to leave his 'last words' and being a trustworthy 'minister Tuogu'?

at the same time.

It's rare that Esdeath didn't torment the 'Little Ten-Tails'.

She snuggled into Im's arms and let the other person's hands roam around her body from time to time.

She looked at Qin Su who was fighting the 'crab swarm' in the picture and raised her eyebrows.

"Are you planning to take the route of 'Frozen Alchemist'?"

She was born in the 'Teigu World' and was also a 'former Admiral of the Imperial Navy Headquarters'.

Among the many contestants, the crown prince of the empire naturally paid the most attention.

"His breathing rhythm should be 'Water Breathing', which is appropriate, but I can let him try my 'Ice Breathing'"

Esdeath thought about waiting for someone to give Qin Su the 'Ice Breathing Technique' he created.

While Im was tasting the Paradise Berry handed over by Historia, he also enlarged the holographic virtual image in front of him to check the status of several other key players.

This is a 'holographic map' that only he can see.

The location of each player is displayed above.

Among them, the light spots regarded as key players are marked with corresponding names next to them.

Make it easier for him to find what he wants to see.

Im has no interest in the weaklings still lingering in the 'outer zone'.

These people include contestants from ‘Demon Slayer’ and ‘Nuke World’.

Although their bodies have been greatly improved, they also have various modern thermal weapons and equipment.

But it is not enough to break through the interceptions of a large number of Kabane, cannibals, unsullied giants, dangerous species, and monsters, and enter the "inner circle area" between "North Eyre Lake" and "Torrenz Lake" .

Especially since they were separated, teamwork was out of the question.

And even if you get in by luck, it's actually very difficult to persist in there.

Because the 'Contest Organizing Department' arranged all the stronger monsters there.

An unsullied giant with a strange species and a body size of fifteen meters.

The ‘black smoke’ formed by the gathering of countless Kabane.

A dangerous species that has reached the 'special level'.

There is also a Biochemical Research Institute responsible for manufacturing, possessing all kinds of weird blood ghost techniques, with combat power comparable to the "Twelve Ghost Moons", but apart from instinct, there are not many rational superior cannibals.

As well as various magic dragons from the two 'magic worlds' of 'Zero Demon' and 'Farmat'.

These are monsters with scores in the tens, even hundreds, or hundreds.

I saw it on the ‘holographic map’.

Although the competition has just begun, there are still many people approaching the 'inner circle area' at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After all, for a capable player, it is better to waste strength or energy on a 'low-level goal' of one or two points.

It is better to directly hunt down dozens or even hundreds of 'high-level targets'.

These people are basically masters from Haixing's native land and the Teigu world.

Or a ninja from a ninja world and a mage from two magical worlds.

Especially the magicians.

They can directly use flight magic to fly through the sky on their own wands.

Of course, there are many threats in the air.

Various dangerous species in the form of dragons and birds, as well as griffons, night demons, and magic dragons from the Zero Demon World

Even long-range sniping from various monsters on the ground!

"Goethe?"

Im looked at the map and saw that there was a clear distance between him and the other players.

It is estimated that it will not take long to reach the light spot in the 'inner circle area'.

Whisper the other person's name in a low voice.

"Do you remember this guy was one of the 'Top Ten' from last year?" Im asked casually.

"Yes, Goethe, won third place in the last Top 100 Competition."

Stussy, who was standing aside, ignored Esdeath in Im's arms and answered Im's questions calmly.

"But this is just his pseudonym. According to the information provided by the 'Golden Emperor', his real name is Wu Nan. He was born in the East China Sea and was a famous 'Golden Pirate' in the former 'Paradise'."

At this time, Im had already clicked on the screen where Wu Nan was.

Sure enough, this guy was swinging out a series of bright golden slashes.

Killing the unsullied giants along the way with indescribable efficiency.

At the same time, maintain a fairly fast speed and continue to break into the 'inner circle area'.

You know, an Innocent Giant, even the smallest one, has ten points!

Because they are not only powerful, but also have strong self-healing capabilities.

If you can't target the weak point where the nape of your neck is, it's really hard to kill it.

Historia on the side had no reaction when she saw this scene.

Because she had known for a long time that these were just a group of clones with only instincts, controlling the giant bodies created by 'Ymir'.

"Golden Pirate Wu Nan, it's him~" Im suddenly realized.

"You know him?"

Stussy was suddenly moved and looked at Im in surprise.

She didn't understand how such an ant-like little person could be known to Lord Im.

"Haha, Mu once saw a light belonging to him in the long history of Starfish. Although it was short-lived, it was bright enough."

"If the 'Star Gate' hadn't appeared, Wu Nan would have collected nearly one-third of the world's gold in the future. He can be considered a pretty good talent."

While watching Wu Nan killing everyone on the screen, Im briefly introduced Wu Nan's original fate to Stusi, as well as Esdeath, Historia and others around him.

Although he always felt that this 'background setting' was outrageous.

A pirate who just hangs around in Paradise with a bounty of only 60 million beli.

How is it possible to have so much gold?

The 60 million Baileys at that time were converted into less than 3 million Baileys now.

Not to mention other jewelry and property.

It would be more reasonable for you to switch to Tezzolo. After all, he does have combat power comparable to that of a general.

"One-third of the world's gold!"

Historia immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief.

As the queen of a country, she has no concept of wealth.

One-third of Starfish's gold is definitely more than the treasury of their Kingdom of Eldia!

Esdeath is more concerned about the ‘long history’ that Im said.

She was wondering how strong this man was.

Can you check the time of a world at will?

Then doesn’t the future fate of himself and others lie in Im’s eyes?

"Then can you see what my 'original destiny' would have been without the emergence of the world government?"

Esdeath asked softly.

She wanted to know if Im could see the 'history' of other worlds.

As for whether she had the light to be seen, she had no doubts.

And I believe it will definitely not be half as dark as this 'Golden Pirate' Wunan.

"In addition to the 'world government', your world actually has another 'variable'."

Im just about to continue talking about Wu Nan's question, but his attention was attracted by Esdeath's question.

"Um?"

Esdeath's beautiful eyes were full of doubts.

"That's the 'Holy Emperor of the Empire' six hundred years ago."

Im said calmly.

Over the years, under his instructions, CIPHER POL has long found out the source of various changes in the Teigu world.

Why did the old emperor suddenly dismiss Minister Ernest and end his political life?

And why did people specifically search for Tazmi, Chitong, Brand and others and quickly reuse them?

The reason is the prophetic letter left by the 'Holy Emperor' who was 'born at the wrong time' to future emperors!

Im already aware of the contents of the letter.

I have to say that CIPHER POL is indeed very scary.

That 'Holy Emperor' should be a time traveler.

For this reason, he also asked Yama to check in the Teigu underworld to see if the other party's soul was still there.

However, the other party should have been reincarnated, and he was not found anyway.

It doesn't matter to Im either.

For him now, neither the protagonist nor the time traveler can make any waves.

"Without the influence of the 'Holy Emperor', your fate would have been different."

Im did not explain the issue of the ‘Holy Emperor’ to them.

Instead, he briefly talked about Esdeath’s experience in the ‘original work’ and the fate of the empire.

But he concealed the love and love in it.

This made Esdeath, Red Eyes, and Black Eyes gradually become entranced, and they did not come back to their senses until Im finished speaking.

Im didn't care much, but turned to Stussy and ordered:

“Tell Marcus that all previous ‘Top Ten’ players will be banned from participating in the ‘Top 100 Competition’ in the future!”

Wu Nan's swordsmanship has obviously reached the level of a great swordsman.

He is also very skilled in Armed Color Haki and Knowledge Color Haki, and his performance is as strong as a military lieutenant general.

He's a little too strong for other players.

There is no suspense about being ranked first this year, and Im thinks this is not fun.

But forget it this time, but we will improve the competition system in the future.

As for banning the ‘Top Ten’ from participating, what compensation needs to be given to them.

That's what the 'Contest Organizing Department' has to consider.

"Yes, I will comply with your wishes!" Stussy nodded in agreement.

She also feels that with the help of the "advanced resources" provided to them, the "Top Ten" have grown much better than most of the contestants after at least four years of growth.

"Master Im, I have a little suggestion."

"oh?"

Im looked at the other party curiously: "Tell me about it."

I saw Stussy smile slightly: "I think that on the basis of prohibiting the 'Top Ten' players from participating, we should encourage the 'Top 100' players to continue to participate, and even give them the privilege of not having to go through the 'audition'."

"I believe that these figures with 'vermilion coats' on their shoulders can arouse other players' desire to win and lose."

"We are proud to defeat them and surpass them. The failed 'Top 100' must return their 'vermilion coat' and can only keep the 'Top 100 Nameplate' as a souvenir."
