Only I Know the Plot of the Anime World - Chapter 54
“Quick, don’t let those pirates escape!”
A large number of navy soldiers appeared, quickly surrounding the coastline.
This was the Sound Nest team’s parting gift, informing the nearby navy base of the pirates’ presence.
If they had won the arena battle, they would have been hailed as heroes for capturing the pirates. But they knew the marine captain would launch an all-out attack since they lost.
“Those damned guys,” Vincenzo fumed, wanting to shoot the opposing reincarnators dead.
Kyosan remained calm, raising a hand to stop his angry companion while drawing his Zanpakut?.
Having used some medicine, he had somewhat recovered and could continue to fight.
With his water-type Zanpakut?, even if he couldn’t win, he was confident he could escape.
The plan was good, but Fang Bo had a different opinion.
“We can’t run,” he said, looking at the marine commander on a large motorcycle.
The man, who had short silver hair, wore a coat with the word “Justice” on the back and had goggles hanging around his neck, exuded a carefree and rebellious aura.
Smoker
, the White Hunter, the most vital marine force in the Four Seas, wielding the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit.
To the reincarnators present, this ability user possessed overwhelmingly superior power. Even if they teamed up, there was no chance of victory.
?Smoker (White Hunter)?
?Attack Inclination: High?
?Attribute Inclination: Constitution, Spirit?
?Trait: Smoke-Smoke Fruit?
?Threat Assessment: Extremely Lethal?
“As expected, the White Hunter isn’t an enemy we can handle at this stage.” Fang Bo turned to the still-ignorant Silver Fox team.
After briefly explaining the situation, a sceptical Vincenzo raised his gun and fired.
“Logia-type fruits are legendary. How could such a powerful fruit be in the weak East Blue?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Kyosan saw the bullet pass through the marine captain’s forehead, and he finally realised the gravity of the situation.
Just as he was about to release his Zanpakut?, they saw the captain’s lower body turn into smoke, propelling him into the air.
“You bunch of trash, this isn’t a place where you can run wild.” Smoker floated in the air, his face filled with disdain as if he were looking at a group of countryside hooligans.
White Gale!
Giving them no chance, Smoker’s body suddenly turned into a large cloud of smoke.
Using the rapidly expanding smoke, he bound everyone tightly. No matter how strong they were, they couldn’t break free.
The difference in strength was despair-inducing. Even the Silver Fox team looked grim.
Due to Smoker’s quick action, Kyosan couldn’t even release his Zanpakut? before being captured.
After finishing a tough battle, many reincarnators’ skills were on cooldown. For instance, the onmyoji lady couldn’t summon her two Shikigami.
Blessings never come in pairs; misfortunes never come alone. Disasters always strike one after another, which is the cruel truth of this world.
You can fear, curse, and hate, but that doesn’t mean someone will come to save you.
“Ultimately, people must save themselves.”
Giant Summoning Jutsu, activate!
Golden lightning flashed, not targeting the airborne Smoker but aiming at the gathered marine soldiers.
Although Smoker appeared cold, he cared deeply for his subordinates. Attacking him was futile; targeting the Marines offered a chance at survival.
As Fang Bo predicted, Smoker wavered, seeing the marines being devoured by the giant.
Seizing when the smoke’s grip weakened, Kyosan regained control of his body and raised his long sword.
“Reverse the flow, Surging Waves!”
Waves surged, enveloping everyone. Smoker swiftly dodged, but the smoke ropes couldn’t withstand the seawater’s erosion.
All the reincarnators fell to the ground. Fang Bo, prepared, grabbed Ryuno’s arm and used gas propulsion to head towards the vast sea.
They couldn’t fight Smoker; their only option was to flee. Diving into the sea would help them evade the White Hunter’s pursuit.
Devil Fruit users couldn’t enter the sea but could swim underwater, using gas propulsion for a romantic underwater journey.
Taking Ryuno along was the limit; the others’ fates were their concern.
After about 27 minutes, they quietly reached the other side of Loguetown and finally climbed ashore.
Ryuno patted her chest in relief, uncertainly asking, “They won’t all die at the hands of the marines, will they?”
“No,” Fang Bo shook his head confidently. “Under normal circumstances, marines prioritize capture. After detainment, they’ll decide whether to send them to Impel Down.”
“Impel Down?”
Seeing Ryuno’s confused look, Fang Bo didn’t elaborate. He stood up, dusting off his pants, and turned towards Loguetown. “They might actually benefit from this.”
What did that mean?
Ryuno needed clarification.
Before Roger’s execution, he was held in a nearby prison, which might contain clues about the treasure.
Getting imprisoned could be vital to completing the mission.
“Let’s go, we’re heading into town.”
“For what?”
“To buy a newspaper and visit the execution platform.”
The execution site of the Pirate King was a must-visit spot for many pirates. They might gather valuable information there.
Soon, they reached the town centre. While the marines were busy hunting reincarnators, Ryuno sneaked onto the execution platform.
After a thorough search, she found something unusual: a symbol carved where the Pirate King had knelt.
Simultaneously, she received a side quest, directing her to another location for clues.
Returning excitedly to report, Fang Bo was still engrossed in his newspaper.
“Good, find the clues,” he said, not looking up. “Be careful. I have another task. If all goes well, see you in the reincarnation space.”
“Oh, okay. You be careful too.”
After Ryuno left, Fang Bo resumed reading the newspaper, which detailed information about a specific pirate crew.
“This guy did set sail three years ago. The timing matches.”
The Pirate King’s treasure could be interpreted in many ways.
Even a secret scenic spot could be considered a treasure if Roger wished.
However, Fang Bo couldn’t just find something that moved the Pirate King emotionally to earn high mission ratings.
He needed to find the most valuable relic of Gol D. Roger.
In a part of Loguetown, a young man wearing a leather hat stared silently at the execution platform.
Ace deeply resented that man, even abandoning his surname because of it. But now that he was here, he didn’t feel pleased.
He didn’t want to admit he felt sad about that man’s death.
Ace had been at sea for over half a month. His Spade Pirates had gained some fame, and the navy had steadily increased his bounty.
The reason was simple: he was a Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit user.
He could quickly destroy Loguetown with ill intent, but Ace would never do that.
“Sigh.” Pulling his hat lower, Ace bid a final farewell to the old man.
Just then, a stranger approached.
With one glance, Ace recognised the man.
The vice-captain of the Black Cat Pirates, a skilled fighter with a bounty of 12 million, but only in the weakest East Blue.
In the Grand Line, this guy wouldn’t make a ripple.
Ambitious Ace didn’t care about such an insignificant figure.
But when the man spoke, Ace’s heart raced uncontrollably.
“Portgas D. Ace, Flame-Flame Fruit user, grandson of Marine Hero Garp.”
Who was this man, and how did he know all this?
Ace sensed something amiss but couldn’t attack in the crowded area.
Glaring at the man, he waited for him to continue.
“Portgas is your mother’s surname. Your real name is Gol D. Ace, the demon child the marines have sought for years, the Pirate King’s most precious legacy.”
As Fang Bo finished speaking, the system notification sounded.
?Main Mission: The Pirate King’s Relic (Completed)?
?You have earned 400 plot points?
?Your skill level has increased by one level?
?You can return to the reincarnation space immediately.?
“I was right.” Ignoring Ace’s shocked expression, Fang Bo silently chose to return.
The high plot points reward indicated that finding the Pirate King’s posthumous son was the best method.
Having exceeded expectations in two missions, Fang Bo eagerly anticipated his final rewards.
His skill upgrade didn’t enhance his only active skill but improved his basic shooting.
Basic Shooting LV5
In terms of marksmanship, he was now on par with ordinary mercenaries, akin to someone who had been shooting since childhood.
“At least it wasn’t wasted. If it upgraded basic sea battle, that would’ve been frustrating.”
Fang Bo completely disappeared from the One Piece world as his form gradually faded.
However, his impact was far from over.
