Yashiki Kagaya was dumbfounded.
He had been thinking that the reward was too low and not many players would be willing to accept the mercenary mission, but he didn't expect them to be snatched up in an instant.
There was even an expert with [1300] combat power.
Upon second thought, he suddenly understood.
For the Demon Slayer Corps family, a [Family Defense Battle] like this could be a disaster that would destroy their family monument.
However, for other players, especially those with stronger abilities, it was a feast.
Compared to slowly hunting monsters in the dangerous areas of Arad,
The Defense Battle had more monsters and richer drops.
"Thinking about it this way, the Demon Slayer Corps didn't even need to pay a reward; it was all my fault for not understanding the Reincarnation Game enough…"
Yashiki Kagaya sighed helplessly, filled with regret.
[The Family Defense Battle is about to begin, players, please prepare for battle!]
With only ten minutes left until the battle began,
Streaks of light were teleported into the courtyard of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
This included all members brought into the family by Yaozai: Tanjiro, the Nine Pillars, the former Pillars serving as trainers, and other promising Demon Slayer Corps members.
On the other side were the foreign players who had accepted the mercenary mission.
The most striking was a tall, tower-like figure holding a massive greatsword.
His crescent-shaped white beard proclaimed his identity.
The Emperor of the Pirate World, Whitebeard.
"Thank you, everyone, for coming to the Demon Slayer Continent to help the Demon Slayer Corps family resist the Pollution Monsters."
Yashiki Kagaya took a deep breath, steadied himself, and greeted the foreign players with a smile.
This was his demeanor as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.
However,
When his gaze fell upon Whitebeard, he paused.
[Whitebeard]: 1480 Combat Power.
Gulp…
Yashiki Kagaya couldn't help but swallow.
His combat power was even higher than Navy Garp's, whom he had just seen.
A player's combat power wasn't accumulated in a normal way; for example, if he had [400] combat power, it didn't mean he could defeat a player with [800] combat power by simply doubling his strength.
Players who could reach four-digit combat power,
Throughout the entire Reincarnation Game, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
"Garp?"
After Whitebeard nodded slightly to the Demon Slayer Corps leader, he saw the figure standing among several Navy members.
He immediately frowned.
Garp naturally noticed the conspicuous Whitebeard, a smile tugged at his lips, and he laughed in response, "Old man, not dead yet?"
He was referring to the recent event,
When the Whitebeard Pirates were besieged by the Celestial Dragons' forces, with hundreds of pacifista reinforced by the game, and Imu personally intervening,
Whitebeard was almost pushed to the brink.
Whitebeard also laughed heartily, saying, "Since you're not dead, how could I possibly die first?"
The situation at Navy Headquarters was equally difficult, caught between the malicious pirates and the Adventurers' Guild.
As a hot commodity that had accumulated the most game assets in the Pirate World, its forces frequently suffered sneak attacks and raids from pirates and ambitious individuals, incurring significant losses.
"Are they in conflict?"
Yashiki Kagaya covered his head helplessly.
Whitebeard's attire was typical of a pirate, and the old man in the cape called himself Navy, so they were naturally incompatible.
He hoped it wouldn't interfere with the Family Defense Battle.
"Remnants of the old era, accept my greeting gift! Take this punch!"
Garp leaped high and threw an iron fist at Whitebeard.
This was how pirates greeted each other: domineering and direct. If one couldn't even withstand the greeting gift, then they weren't qualified to continue communicating.
"Garp, you're not my opponent!"
Whitebeard's aura surged,
The surrounding space began to groan, cracking inch by inch. His cloak billowed without wind, and he swung his blade to meet the attack.
Bang.
Under the shocked gazes of countless Demon Slayer Corps members and foreign players,
The fist and the greatsword collided.
A hurricane roared, the entire mountain range trembled, and wisteria flowers scattered like rain.
If not for the protection of the game rules, which enveloped a fixed area of the family territory, most players would have been blown away by the aftershocks of the battle.
Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "So strong! Is this… a battle between players?"
No wonder,
After Gyomei became a player, in just half a month, he could easily defeat the combined efforts of the other Pillar-ranked swordsmen.
They had thought Stone Pillar was strong enough,
But seeing the collision between Whitebeard and Garp, they realized how mistaken their previous judgment of strong individuals had been.
"Even without a Nichirin Blade, this strength could probably smash Muzan Kibutsuji to death directly, right?"
Yashiki Kagaya thought enviously.
Bang.
Their collision ended with Garp flying backward.
Garp, who had rolled dozens of times, got up as if nothing had happened and said enviously, "You actually have four [Dark Elf] armor pieces?"
In battles between players, powerful equipment held a significant advantage.
The [Flame Forest] armor that could be exchanged at Linus near Gran Forest,
The Bantu Clan's treasured [Frost Snow Mountain] armor at the foot of the Thousand Year Snow Mountain, the [Magic Ocean] armor produced near the Sky Sea.
The [Myriad Qi] armor of the Empyrean Empire, and the [Dark Elf] armor exchanged from the Dark Elf race in Dark City.
These were the five strongest armor sets in the entire Reincarnation Game after the game update.
They corresponded to the five safe towns in Arad.
The exchange conditions were difficult,
Not only did it require a large amount of Pollution Crystals dropped by Pollution Monsters, but it also required raising one's contribution to the town that could craft the armor to an extremely high level by continuously completing quests.
A complete set of armor could provide [1500] combat power.
Orochimaru's continued dominance at the top of the combat power rankings,
Was partly due to having gathered the [Magic Ocean] armor set.
Whitebeard laughed mockingly, "I just happened to find the alchemy notes of Chief Alchemist [Morgan] for the Dark Elf race in the Shallow Dwelling, and I directly got a piece of Dark Elf armor. Idiot Garp, are you jealous?"
The five strongest armor sets were all of silver quality.
Not only could they freely choose [Reinforcement Attributes], but once a full set was gathered, they came with special equipment effects.
Whitebeard chose the [Blood Attribute], and once he gathered the complete armor set, it would enhance his Scarlet Troll Bloodline and all blood-related abilities by a full fifty percent.
Even if not fully gathered, each piece could enhance by five percent.
"Hmph, equipment dog!"
Garp shook his numb fist,
Glancing at the lonely [Magic Ocean] chest plate in his equipment slot, his heart soured.
As old rivals who had disliked each other since the old era,
They had experienced several major battles, both in the game map and in the real world.
They were well aware of each other's abilities.
Whitebeard's core ability [Scarlet Troll (Lv.30)] and his own [Street Fighter (Lv.31)] both had a game rating of [1000] combat power.
They were evenly matched.
If not for the equipment advantage, he wouldn't have lost to a mere remnant pirate of the old era.
[Family Defense Battle Start!]
Tip: This family battlefield is [Tier 1], the Lord Monster [Magic Winged Dragon] has a combat power rating of 600. To prevent malicious resource grabbing, your combat power has been restricted to [600]. Enjoy the game!
Black game text appeared before Garp's eyes,
And he felt as if countless invisible chains were evenly sealing his four-dimensional attributes, skills, equipment, and various item abilities.
It wasn't that he couldn't use them, but their overall power was reduced.
He glanced at Whitebeard not far away,
Judging by the other's expression, he had probably suffered the same weakening.
It was like the [Soul Reaper] in the East Blue game of the Pirate World, whose strength was restricted.
"No matter how many times, I'm still shocked by the terrifying power of the Game Merchant, like a god."
