#222 - Big event! The top war begins (extra update for the leader "Don't care"!)
Chapter 222: A Major Event! Top-Tier War Begins (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader "Doesn't Care, Doesn't Bother, Doesn't Acknowledge"!)
The death of Ethan had a massive and profound impact.
Even after a long time, there were still many people discussing it online.
The identity of Ethan's killer has been the subject of much speculation, with many big shots being suspected.
This forced those big shots to come forward and clarify, even bringing in friends to testify that they were not present at the time.
A new question arose.
If the big shots didn't admit to it, then who was the real killer?
Who on earth possessed such strength to kill Ethan?
This matter lasted for several months before the heat slowly subsided...
Time.
It was already September.
However, as the difficulty in the Spirit Realm increased, it was inevitable that some people whose strength couldn't keep up would be eliminated...
Old Chu's class now had fewer than forty students.
In the huge classroom, almost half of the seats were empty.
As a teacher, Old Chu was naturally saddened.
Those students who didn't return were all trained and guided by him personally...
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that his class produced two extraordinary students!
Zhao Zheng and Wang Fei!
Zhao Zheng goes without saying, he has always been godly.
Wang Fei, on the other hand, was being led by Song Haitang, and in recent months, he has also been godly every time, his strength progressing very rapidly.
The school leaders once privately approached Wang Fei, wanting to inquire about Song Haitang's secret to being godly every time, but Wang Fei ruthlessly refused!
This kid was extremely stubborn, directly rebuking the leaders: either expel him or shut up!
The leaders certainly didn't dare to expel a student who was godly every time, so this matter could only be dropped...
Old Chu perked up and continued lecturing: "My personal suggestion is that you all can first write down what I'm going to talk about, then slow down, train for a few more months, and then go to the fifteenth level of the Spirit Realm!"
"Because, the fifteenth level of the Spirit Realm is very dangerous for you right now!"
Hearing what Old Chu said.
Everyone's faces immediately turned serious.
"I believe you have all heard that the danger level of the Spirit Realms with the numbers five and ten is much greater than other Spirit Realms, equivalent to an assessment, and some people say it's similar to an important checkpoint in a game!"
"Among the Transcendent community, most of the Transcendent who are stuck in the Spirit Realm are basically stuck at the numbers five and ten."
"For example, me, my current Spirit Realm progress is passing the twenty-fourth level, but I haven't been to the Spirit Realm for more than two years, excluding the National Spirit Realm."
"Because I don't have the slightest confidence in the twenty-fifth level of the Spirit Realm."
"Being stuck in the Spirit Realm is not shameful, almost all Transcendent get stuck, even those top powerhouses."
Some students showed curious expressions upon hearing this.
Most of the students, however, remained unchanged.
They had long heard about being stuck in the Spirit Realm, as well as the difficulty of the Spirit Realms with the numbers five and ten.
"I'm digressing, next, we'll talk about the content of the fifteenth level of the Spirit Realm."
"This time, the world background of the Spirit Realm is quite unique, belonging to an age of great navigation, with an endless stream of pirates!"
"Moreover, those great pirates, whether it's their own strength or the forces they belong to, are extremely amazing!"
"Among them, there are four Emperor-level pirate groups, each of which is a hegemon, with very large territories under their command, even able to compete with the Navy Headquarters, and are known as the Sea Emperors."
"By the way, many different Devil Fruits in the Holy Land may have been taken from this world."
Hearing this.
Zhao Zheng immediately showed an interested expression.
What Old Chu was talking about was the One Piece world.
As Old Chu continued to explain, the other students also showed interested expressions in the unique power structure of the fifteenth level of the Spirit Realm world.
"I'll roughly introduce the world background here, I'll send a copy of the information in the class group after class, you can take a look at it later."
"The mission of this Spirit Realm is to participate in a war! A war between two major forces!"
"One side is the Navy Headquarters, and the other side is the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors!"
"First, let's talk about the Navy Headquarters, it belongs to the World Government's forces, and its strength is beyond doubt, whether it's the Navy Marshal Sengoku or the Navy Hero Garp, their strength is extremely terrifying! The top combat power, the Three Admirals, are even Natural Logia Devil Fruit users, and all of them can elementalize, each Admiral is an existence comparable to a natural disaster."
"If we follow our strength rating standards here, the Three Admirals are definitely top-tier seventh-order strength."
"In addition to the Three Admirals, the Navy Headquarters also has many Vice Admirals, as well as the Warlords of the Sea who come to help, and their strength is terrifying..."
...
"As for the Whitebeard Pirates, the ones participating in the war are the Whitebeard Pirates and the 43 affiliated pirate groups."
"I won't introduce those 43 pirate groups one by one, their relevant information will be sent to the group later..."
"This battle mainly depends on the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"The Whitebeard Pirates are the strongest Emperor-level pirate group among the Four Emperors, and their strength is extremely terrifying!"
"There are sixteen division commanders in the group, and each one is a powerhouse!"
"Especially the 1st division commander, his Devil Fruit is the Mythical Zoan-type Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix, nicknamed Marco the Phoenix, and his strength is not weaker than the Navy Admiral."
"By the way, our headmaster is also a Mythical Zoan-type Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix user!"
"The 3rd division commander, Diamond Jozu, is a Paramecia-type Kira Kira no Mi user, once he activates his ability, his whole body is like a diamond, extremely hard, and this person is infinitely powerful, like a monster, in terms of strength, he can also compete with the Navy Admiral."
"The 5th division commander, Flower Sword Vista, is a famous great swordsman, his two-handed swordsmanship is superb, and he can compete with the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye!"
...
"However, the most powerful is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard himself!"
"This person's strength is extremely terrifying, possessing the power to destroy the world, and is known as the strongest man in the world... If I were to use a word to describe him, it would be, invincible!"
"Even if Whitebeard is placed in our world, he is also a top powerhouse, according to our strength rating standards here, Whitebeard is definitely a King-level powerhouse, reaching the eighth-order!"
"Oh, by the way, Whitebeard's Devil Fruit ability is the Paramecia-type Gura Gura no Mi."
Old Chu said here, subconsciously looking at Zhao Zheng.
The other students also looked at Zhao Zheng one after another.
Zhao Zheng said speechlessly: "What are you looking at me for? I'm not Whitebeard."
The students burst into laughter.
They had long heard about the power of the Gura Gura no Mi.
However, no one envied Zhao Zheng.
The Gura Gura no Mi is not easy to deal with, to control it, you not only need strong power, but also have an undying physique to withstand its powerful side effects.
Old Chu smiled and comforted him, "Although you're not Whitebeard, I believe that as long as you can keep playing like a god, you'll definitely surpass Whitebeard one day."
Hearing this, Wang Fei couldn't help but curl his lips.
What a foolish teacher!
You know nothing about Zhao Ge's true strength!
At this moment.
A student stood up and asked, "Teacher, you just mentioned the captains of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th divisions. Why didn't you mention the captains of the 2nd and 4th divisions?"
Old Chu then said, "According to intelligence, the 4th division captain died before the war. As for the 2nd division captain, he's imprisoned at the Marine Headquarters!"
"The main trigger for this war was the capture of the 2nd division captain, who was imprisoned at the Marine Headquarters. The Marine Headquarters planned to publicly execute him, which led to the Whitebeard Pirates' attack."
"The Whitebeard Pirates' ultimate goal, from beginning to end, was only one thing: to rescue the 2nd division captain, Fire Fist Ace!"
"The Marine Headquarters' appetite is bigger. Their true goal in publicly executing Fire Fist Ace was to use him as bait to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates in one fell swoop, thereby deterring other pirates and establishing their position as the overlord of the sea!"
"Because, since the death of the previous Pirate King, Whitebeard has been considered by the world to be the most likely candidate to become the next Pirate King."
"The World Government certainly doesn't want another king to emerge on the sea, affecting the world order. Therefore, the battle between the Marine Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates is inevitable."
"Both the Marine Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates are the top forces on the sea!"
"Therefore, this war is also known as the 'Summit War'!"
… …
Old Chu stopped to take a sip of water after saying all that in one breath.
The other students listened with great interest.
After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Old Chu continued:
"Marine Marshal Sengoku, Hero Garp, the Three Admirals, Vice Admirals, the Seven Warlords of the Sea… Whitebeard, Marco the Phoenix, Jozu the Diamond, Vista the Flower Sword…"
"You must remember the strong individuals I just mentioned, and keep them in mind!"
"If you encounter these people on the battlefield, you must stay away from them. Don't overestimate yourselves and engage them in battle, or you will die!!"
Old Chu's tone was very serious, almost like a warning to everyone.
The students didn't dare to be careless when they saw this and wrote down those names.
"There are also some other strong individuals that you need to pay attention to. Information about those strong individuals will be sent to the group later…"
"After you enter the Spirit Realm, the mission time is three days. The first two days are for joining a faction. The real decisive battle is on the last day."
"This mission mainly looks at your contribution on the battlefield. The higher the contribution, the higher the mission rating you will receive when the mission ends."
"The so-called contribution refers to your role on the battlefield, whether it's bravely fighting enemies or strategizing."
"Overall, the difficulty of this mission is not that great. The real danger is those strong individuals on the battlefield!"
After a pause.
Old Chu added, "To be honest, a battlefield of such strong individuals is not your stage yet. For you now, being on the same battlefield as such strong individuals is indeed very dangerous. Even the aftermath of their battles can take your lives!"
"Therefore, in this mission, try to stay away from the center of the battlefield. Don't think about the mission rating. The most important thing is to successfully complete the mission and survive."
"I can tell you with certainty that 99% of transcendents can't get an A-level mission rating in the 15th floor Spirit Realm."
"Because everyone has made a wise choice. As for those transcendents who shine on the battlefield, they are easily targeted by strong enemies, and then die…"
"I'm not trying to scare you. Preserving your life is more important than anything else."
After Old Chu finished speaking, the classroom immediately fell silent.
After a moment.
A student asked, "Teacher, if we choose to strategize, do you have any good suggestions?"
Old Chu shook his head. "I don't have any good suggestions, and I don't recommend you waste your energy on this."
"Because the places where you can strategize in this battle have already been exploited by countless predecessors."
"Many years ago, there was a transcendent who chose to join the Marine camp in the 15th floor Spirit Realm and suggested to Marshal Sengoku that the Whitebeard Pirates might wrap their ships in bubble membranes and come from the seabed, passing through the Gates of Justice and directly entering the inner bay."
"Marshal Sengoku listened and made corresponding deployments, eventually giving the Whitebeard Pirates a head-on blow…"
"That transcendent received an S-level mission rating as a result. It was also the only time someone received an S-level mission rating in the 15th floor Spirit Realm."
"Because it doesn't work anymore."
"After everyone knew about such a case, they would definitely imitate it, and the transcendents who joined the Pirate group would also inform Whitebeard, causing Whitebeard to give up using this trick…"
"Don't forget, there are not only you who have joined the battlefield, but thousands of transcendents!"
The students suddenly understood.
Indeed.
After so many years of exploration, all the details of the Summit War have probably been figured out by the transcendents.
Whether it is the Marine Headquarters or the Whitebeard Pirates, both sides have transcendents joining, so they will definitely not let the enemy's plan succeed.
In other words, being familiar with the plot doesn't give you any advantage on that battlefield.
A student who was not reconciled asked, "Teacher, my speed is very fast. Can I join the Whitebeard Pirates first, determine the camp, and then disguise myself as a Marine soldier, sneak into the Marine Headquarters, and assassinate the Marine's big shots when the war starts… Is such a plan feasible?"
Hearing such a foolish plan, Old Chu smiled helplessly, "It seems that you don't understand Observation Haki at all!"
"Those strong individuals all have Haki as standard equipment. With Observation Haki, even if you sneak attack from behind, no matter how fast you are, you won't succeed. Doing so is basically the same as courting death!"
Another student asked, "Teacher, you said before that the Whitebeard Pirates' 2nd division captain, Fire Fist Ace, is a prisoner of the Marine Headquarters and will be publicly executed on the day of the decisive battle? What if I kill Fire Fist Ace in time? The Whitebeard Pirates will have no goal and can only retreat, right?"
Old Chu smiled and shook his head, "Ace is of great use to Marshal Sengoku. Marshal Sengoku has his own plans for when to kill him. If you kill Ace in advance, not only will you make Marshal Sengoku unhappy, but you will also anger the entire Whitebeard Pirates! By then, you probably won't have the chance to live to the end of the mission."
