Chapter 875 The yer Imu!
<strong><em>_________________</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong>
The current game system was designed after long contemtion by Rob. After all, allowing millions of people to enter the game world at once wouldpletely shatter the tranquility of the world.
The story mode was an entirely different concept, allowing every yer to experience the game from their own perspective. The world they yed in would be just an externalyer of the real world.
Rob made the story mode possible thanks to his absolute control over the game world. Essentially, all yers were ying the same game. However, since their circumstances, thoughts, and achievements were different, each could experience a unique story within the overarching narrative of the game world.
Every time a new yer logged into the game in story mode, apletely different timeline was created where the yer became the only variable! This, in short, was story mode.
yers could progress freely andfortably in the game world as they wished. Each time they died, they would return stronger and stronger from where they left off. Considering that the <em>One Piece</em>story itself had not yet concluded, this mode would undoubtedly be the favorite of the vast majority of yers in the future.
As for the online mode, it was currently quite controversial. After all, 1,000 yers would be gathered in a single world, created instantly when 1,000 yers logged into the online mode. Since yers were not yet familiar with the game world, there was no real benefit to activating this mode at the moment. Rob decided to open it at a regional level during special asions.
The closed beta version of this online mode had already been tested at this level.
Additionally, there would be another level of online mode: the global level. Here, all yers worldwide would y together in the real-world game! This would be an eagerly awaited, exceptional event for yers, featuring huge prizes and leaderboards. Only true champions could shine in such global events.After sharing so much critical information about the <em>One Piece</em>game world, Rob officially announced the start of game registration. Since it was free, people flocked in droves to secure one of the first thousand slots avable in every Art Store.
Before chaos could erupt, the store''s goddesses, who had returned to work, organized everything under the unbeatable power of the Art Store.
Soon, the ck rooms in every store were filled.
After registering their names and ages, each yer received a yer capsule, fixed firmly in ce. This smart capsule was part of the Art Store and could sustain the yer''s life inside while automatically ejecting them from the game after the one-hour time limit. If a yer died before the one-hour limit, the capsule allowed them to re-enter the game and try again if they wished to continue ying.
…
"So many people… The Art Store only gets this crowded on <em>One Piece</em>manga days," Olivia said happily as she observed the excited crowds at the Ohara Art Store.
The massive turnout was proof of her husband''s poprity and the trust people had in him.
"I bet this scene is already happening in most other stores. His speech was amazing," Sora said with a smile, holding Sanji and Reiju, who had grown bigger and sweeter. Sanji''s blonde hair and Reiju''s pink hair were even more prominent at this stage, as they were now six months old.
"That''s true. When will we try the game ourselves? I''m starting to regret not participating in the closed beta back then," Toki said, holding Hyori, who had green hair and was the same age as Sanji and Reiju.
"We can all try story mode anytime after the Art Store closes," the beautiful mermaid Otohime said with a smile.
Be and Glora nodded enthusiastically. Since they had already experienced the game during the closed beta, they were even more eager to dive back in. ?????ó???
"For now, let''s do our duties properly and organize this massive crowd so more people can enjoy the game to their hearts'' content."
With that, Olivia rolled up her sleeves and headed toward the ck room''s entrance, followed by the other store goddesses to manage the second wave of yers.
…
Wave after wave, people transformed from ordinary individuals into yers. Every person who experienced story mode and saw the <em>One Piece</em>world from inside the game emergedter, stunned, unable to believe their senses.
Nearly all ordinary people chose "eptable Pain" before immersing themselves in the game. As a result, when they died, they didn''t feel the soul-piercing agony. However, those who selected "Moderately Painful" truly felt intense pain upon dying, as if they had been genuinely hurt rather than ying a game.
Even legendary figures like Roger, Whitebeard, and Kaido died at the beginning. How could ordinary people not die, especially the unlucky ones who started the game as humans in Cocoyasi Vige?
Nevertheless, hundreds of yers survived a full hour in the capsule—equivalent to a full year in the game world!
…
"Most of them reached Level 5 in just one session… So many geniuses!"
Rob was astonished to see hundreds of yers in every Art Store achieving Level 5 in one session. Some even reached Levels 6 and 7!
Though those who made it to Level 6 were few and far between, and Level 7 achievers could be counted on one hand, these included legends like Roger, Whitebeard, Mihawk, and Domingo.@@novelbin@@
"These…" Rob muttered, examining the ck room data in the Marigoa Art Store with keen interest.
"As expected…"
…
A merchant ship was already surrounded by Alvida''s pirates, under the watchful gaze of a beautiful woman with red hair and long, pale legs.
Imu''s eyes gleamed as she watched Luffy fight Alvida''s pirates and mock Alvida herself.
"My current level is 5… It''s hard to gain experience points on this merchant ship. Can I withstand Luffy''s punch without dying this time?"
Imu thought calmly as she gradually approached the battlefield between Luffy and Alvida.
"It''s time!"
Seeing Luffy stretch his rubber arm, preparing to punch Alvida in the stomach, Imu sprinted toward the punch.
"Hey! Wait, what are you doing!?"
Luffy tried to halt his punch to avoid hurting an innocent person, but Imu''s timing was perfect, leaving him no chance to retract his extended arm.
Luffy''s punch struck Imu''s slender waist, causing her smile to tighten in pain. But the pain didn''t bother her as much as watching her health bar drop at an rming rate.
"No… Stop draining!"
Imu wasunched on an all-expenses-paid trip courtesy of Luffy, following Alvida''s original trajectory and flying off into the distance.
Seeing this, Luffy, Koby, and even Alvida gaped in shock.
"Is she crazy!?" Luffy eximed as he retracted his rubber fist.
…
<strong>Boom!</strong>
Imu''s body crashed into the water like a cannonball. Quickly regaining herposure, she swam toward a nearby shore.
"Luckily, my health didn''t fully deplete likest time… Now it''s time to find that Devil Fruit. It''ll help me advance through these early levels faster."
With a victorious smile, Imu exited the sea and climbed onto the shore.
Since Alvida had found the Slip-Slip Fruit here before, why couldn''t she repeat that and steal the opportunity for herself?
Imu searched the area for hours. Eventually, she discovered a Devil Fruit.
"This is it! I think I''m the first yer to obtain a Devil Fruit in the game world! Fufu~ With this timely cheat, I''ll level up quickly!"
Without hesitation, Imu ate the Devil Fruit. After all, this was just a game; why overthink it?
Her character was currently too weak. Only a Devil Fruit could give her a massive power boost, allowing her to advance quickly and gain plenty of experience points.
After consuming the Devil Fruit, she lost her ability to swim but gained extraordinary powers! From now on, ordinary attacks couldn''t harm her… Even Kuro and Arlong, some of the strongest bosses in this part of the sea, couldn''t touch her.
"What now…? How do I get around?"
Imu''s gaze fell on the remnants of Alvida''s pirates dragging a fat body toward the shore.
"Alvida''s pirates… As expected, Luffy defeated them and sent them here."
A wicked glint appeared in Imu''s eyes. Since Luffy had given her this big gift, why not thank him by taking it for herself!?
