Chapter 210: The Emerging Power Structure of the Pirate World
As of now, there are two types of products in the Reincarnation Game.
The first includes all sorts of fate-based items from the myriad worlds: equipment, skills, bloodlines, recovery potions, and so on.
These items are replicated products Fang Yi creates by capturing the aura of various worlds and consuming essence—just like Devil Fruits, casually conjured from nothing.
They allow players to rapidly increase their power.
However, these replicated items have limits and cannot surpass the tier of the original item.
For example, when Smoker exchanged for the [Fire Poison Skill], a mid-tier martial art from the Tier-2 world Fengyun, once he reached the technique's peak within that world, he could no longer break through to Tier-3.
That is the flaw of fate-based items.
But rule-based items are created to patch that flaw.
Enhancement scrolls and gems, for instance, can increase the base attributes of equipment or add special modifiers.
There are also equipment upgrade scrolls, which can forcibly raise a Level 5 item to Level 10—or even Level 100.
Likewise,
a Tier-1 world skill like Naruto's Rasengan maxes out at Level 19 with no chance of evolving into Tier-2.
But if a player uses a [Skill Tier Upgrade Scroll], they can break through the ceiling and continue leveling it up.
Put simply,
rule-based items function like limit breakers, unique to the Reincarnation Game.
They allow players to break free of their world's constraints and attain unlimited growth potential.
These rule-based items are crucial for players to stand against the Corrupted Worlds.
"Only by hunting corrupted creatures?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru furrowed her brow.
She looked around at the crowd—filled with players hungry for power.
Even if all the Admirals came together, the opposing forces included the Four Emperors and the World Government. Hunting the Soul-Harvesting Lord that would appear in three days would not be easy.
In her heart, she was already treating the World Government as a potential enemy.
"If that's the case, then why was Alabasta allowed to obtain the first family token?"
The king of Drum Island—now the captain of the Iron Plate Pirates, Wapol—spoke up with dissatisfaction.
He had once ruled Drum Island arrogantly, but after being attacked by Blackbeard, he had fled in disgrace. Upon seeing the Reincarnation Game broadcast through a Den Den Mushi, he rushed to the East Blue to seek power.
But by the time he arrived, Death Island was already closed.
Now seeing the princess of Alabasta enjoying what looked like special privileges only made his heart burn with resentment.
"Because I wanted to."
Fang Yi answered with a smile, not even offering an explanation.
The Iron Plate Pirates hurriedly held back their reckless captain.
Even now, the Game Merchant hadn't laid a hand on anyone, but the fact that he had ignored even the Five Elders, and the Five Elders had humored him in return, proved just how dangerous this man was.
Sailing under a fool who didn't know his own limits was exhausting.
Many other players shared Wapol's thoughts,
and he had simply voiced their collective discontent.
But—
after hearing Fang Yi's short reply, no one else dared say a word.
Given the current balance of power, not a single person or faction in the pirate world had the strength to question or challenge the Game Merchant's will.
Even Imu remained silent.
"Mr. Fang Yi, can a family territory withstand powerful weapons?"
From the Goa Kingdom, the noble Oteluk—who had usurped the royal throne—asked cautiously.
Though he tried to be vague with his phrasing, his intentions were transparent.
Many nobles from member nations, unwilling to continue being bled dry by the World Government, suddenly had sparks of hope in their eyes.
"It can."
Fang Yi, performing his role as the Reincarnation Game's narrator with precision, explained, "Like Death Island, territories transformed by family tokens are protected by the Game's rules."
"However, unlike Death Island, which is completely isolated from reality, a newly founded Tier-1 family territory must purchase a protection dome blueprint in the family shop and build a shield to defend against real-world attacks."
If, just moments ago,
these nobles still feared the World Government's Ancient Weapons—capable of destroying entire islands in a single strike—
Then now,
the Game Merchant's definitive answer was like a potion that stirred the deepest ambitions in their hearts.
"The Oteluk Family?"
One of the Five Elders asked coldly, "Are you intending to betray the World Government?"
From their seat at the apex of global power, they immediately sensed the growing instability among the nobles and member nations.
"Yes. What of it?"
Oteluk stared warily, watching for a sudden Pacifista assault.
This was a test.
Though a Goa Kingdom noble, he wasn't recognized as king. He had tried earlier and discovered he couldn't trade away the entire kingdom like Alabasta's royalty had.
So, he had already exchanged most of the valuables in his noble territory for reward points in advance.
Even if the Ancient Weapons were unleashed on Goa, the Oteluk Family wouldn't lose much.
"Activate the Buster Call."
A cold voice issued from the golden Den Den Mushi.
The dreaded Buster Call—feared across the seas—meant a full-scale Marine assault, led by Vice Admirals and possibly even Admirals. No kingdom could hope to resist it.
And yet—
Oteluk burst into laughter. "So it's the Buster Call, not the Ancient Weapons after all!"
That confirmed it—Ancient Weapons likely couldn't be used repeatedly and came with serious limitations.
"Goa Knights, move out!"
Oteluk shouted with excitement, boarding his noble warship and heading straight for the Goa Kingdom.
His plan was to kill the former king,
declare the independence of a new Goa Kingdom, and wait for the chance to establish his own family!
"Let's move too!"
The other noble commanders exchanged glances.
Their fear of Ancient Weapons had kept them in check, but Oteluk's probe had exposed a weakness—they now all harbored the same idea.
"Fufufufu…"
Doflamingo watched the escalating chaos unfold. Calmly, he pulled out his Den Den Mushi and dialed. "You've been watching the livestream, haven't you, Trebol?"
"Announce it to all of Dressrosa's citizens."
"From this day forth, Dressrosa is no longer bound by the World Government. It is now a free empire upon the seas!"
Countless pirate ships and noble vessels scattered in all directions.
The World Government, which had ruled nearly 200 member nations for 800 years, was beginning to crack.
"Lord Imu!"
The Five Elders, no longer paying attention to the broadcast, rushed into the deepest part of Pangaea Castle.
"The member nations are openly rebelling. Should we join forces with Marine Headquarters to suppress them?"
"We are unworthy of your grace!"
They dropped to their knees in panic.
Imu's shadow-shrouded face betrayed no emotion. "Your deaths mean nothing. I want the rebels to die."
"From this day forward, Mariejois will be renamed [Divine City]."
"Those who reside in Mariejois are no longer the Celestial Dragons—but the Divine Clan."
"The second family token must belong to the Divine Clan."
"And in the name of the Divine Clan, declare war on every rebel kingdom!"
