Chapter 62: Four Blues Navigation Plan

The human activity areas in the world of One Piece can be divided into three major blocks: the Four Blues, the Grand Line, and the Red Line. There are many newbie spawn points in these areas, and a large number of open beta players are pouring in.

Some players start normally by filling out a questionnaire to assess their personal inclinations and spawn in the peaceful East Blue.

Of course, there are also those who are bold and adventurous, and confident in their 'looks', and then they are randomly spawned in the New World…

Currently, on the game forums, the players who have randomly landed in the New World are the ones who mainly send warm greetings to the game company.

In the official game forum, sarcastic posts are popping up like mushrooms after rain.

"Is this the legendary world's first immersive holographic VR game? It's really ridiculous. I lay down in the game capsule, just like I lay down in a coffin."

"No way no way, there can't really be someone who can still play the game after entering it, right? Isn't it just dying as soon as you enter, and then being restricted from reviving for half an hour?"

"Is this the legendary world's first immersive holographic VR game? I'm impressed! It's really a game that only virtual paper people can play."

"Don't choose the New World! Don't choose the Grand Line! These two places are completely shit! They dump you into the sea at the start! I haven't seen land since I entered the game!"

"That's right! It was the same during the closed beta! I didn't even get into the game during the beta for half a month! Damn it!"

"That's right! That's how it was when I was in the closed beta! I didn't even get into the game for half a month! Frick!"

"RNM, refund!" {RNM =日你妈} {It's very non graphic word. Please don't think about it.}

However, the number of open beta players who descended into the New World was still a small number, compared to the large number of open beta players.

At this time, players from all over the world were constantly sharing their experiences on the official game forum. Soon, they overwhelmed the posts of the angry old men.

Two or three days later.

Just when the forum's popularity was steadily rising, the official "One Piece" game finally stopped being secretive. Instead, they generously released the first proper game trailer.

This was the first time that the official team had proactively released video materials!

The trailer showed the different scenery of the various beginner islands: natural, modern, technological, and medieval.

The difference in civilization styles immediately attracted the attention of most players.

However, when they carefully watched the trailer, they immediately began to complain.

What the hell? I really thought this was official footage released by the game company, but it turns out that it's just a bunch of poorly edited clips from player-made videos? What kind of company is this?

Come to think of it, is there even a game company? Could it be...

"One Piece" company: Since when did you get the impression that I would actually release any footage?

"People who seek a sense of reality in fictional stories must have something wrong with their heads."

With the strong support of the "official bootleg," the game forum's popularity suddenly exploded.

Adrian was also secretly observing the players' movements on the forum. After deliberately waiting for a few days, he finally decided to take action.

...

The timeline went back a few days.

In Loguetown, at the dock.

A peach-like blush spread across her delicate face, gradually staining her crystal-clear earlobes and fair neck.

With a long, contented moan, Gion, her eyes still hazy, finally regained her rational thinking and realized what she had just done.

"Truly, it's an impressive ability!" Gion's cheeks were still tinged with red, and one could easily tell she was putting on a tough front. "I feel much better now, can you keep your distance?"

Adrian tapped his fingers together and said calmly, "Positive Ghost: Panacea works by strongly stimulating the human consciousness, which then feedbacks to the physical body, achieving a healing effect similar to that of medicine.

As for the slight twitching, it seems to be a common reaction."

Seeing that Adrian's expression was professional and not fake, Gion could only forcibly suppress her inner shame and anger, and deliberately changed the subject. "Gecko Moria has already been taken care of by you. What are you going to do next?"

Mini Ghost: Starry Patrol.

Adrian released a swarm of mini ghosts, flying them into the sky above Loguetown. Through their eyes, he carefully observed the current situation in Loguetown.

After a while, Adrian opened his eyes and said to Gion, "I seem to have nothing to do at the moment."

Actually, if you really want to know, Adrian still has some things he wants to do.

He had consecutively upgraded the two skills of the Ghost Fruit to the maximum level, but he was still wary of "Armament Haki."

According to the information in his memory, "Armament Haki" is a powerful force that can touch and attack the physical body of a Logia.

But can "Armament Haki" really touch a phantom ghost?

Adrian had never tried it before, and he has always been uncertain.

The original One Piece manga provides very little information about the abilities of ghosts. This is because the ghost princess Perona, the only known user of the Ghost Fruit, has very little combat experience.

Perona's only confirmed feat is defeating Sentomaru by using negative ghosts, when in a defenseless state. However, this is likely because Sentomaru did not use his Conqueror's Haki to resist her ghosts.

The only other reference to the abilities of ghosts comes from the war against Big Mom. Luffy used Armament Haki to attack the Fire Homies Prometheus, a creation of Big Mom, the user of the Soul Soul Fruit. However, Luffy's attacks had no effect.

Afterwards, the sea hero Jinbe explained that Prometheus is the embodiment of condensed flames, endowed with a soul by Big Mom. This makes it different from ordinary Paramecia abilities, and Armament Haki is ineffective against it.

That's it...

If the power of Armament Haki has no restraining effect on ghosts, then Adrian will be able to "roam the world as he pleases."

But if the power of Armament Haki can resist ghosts, then Adrian will have to "hide and grow, and wait two more years."

There is no doubt that there are many masters of Armament Haki in Loguetown at this time, but they all have their own opponents.

Adrian couldn't just go up and say hello, then announce that he was going to take over the battlefield, could he?

And as it happens, the game's open beta has officially begun. In addition to Loguetown at this time, there is just one other place where the effects of Armament Haki on ghost abilities can be tested.

That's right! Adrian was talking about the Kano Country, which is also located in the West Blue!

The Kano Country, the twelfth generation leader of the Happo navy, Chinjao the Drill.

"Adrian, are you ready to leave Loguetown?" Gion suddenly asked, as if she had sensed something.

"That's right, Loguetown no longer has any meaning for me to stay now."

"So what are you planning to do next?" Gion asked, "Continue to be your bounty hunter in the West Blue?"

Adrian shook his head and smiled. "No, for now, I have a plan to sail the four seas."
