Crossover Anime: Starting with a Life Index, Join the Chat Group

As for when they left, Luo Hao deduced that the other party must have waited for some time.

"If this really is the Pirate King's territory, given Esdeath's strength and personality, she'll probably cause a big stir soon. Once we get access to information from the outside world, we'll likely be able to find out her whereabouts."

Luo Hao did not intend to hunt down his fellow group members. After several days of careful consideration, he made the following strategic decision.

If he is strong enough to be the strongest in the group, then he will adopt the "kingly" strategy.

Find ways to gain the trust of group members, thereby reaching a mutually beneficial agreement.

If he lacks the strength, he will hide away, shut himself off from the world, quietly observe the situation within the group, and then make a decision. He will never rashly trust others.

The reason is simple: he doesn't trust others with his life.

Luo Hao rejected the path of the hunter from the very beginning. The reason was simple: other group members controlled the gates to their own worlds.

If a hunting expedition is launched, and the environment within the group becomes dangerous, even if one or two are managed to be eliminated by chance, the rest, and most of the future ones, will be impossible to kill.

After all, every group member has a death replay after they die.

Who would dare approach a hunter carrying a torch and a gun?

Therefore, Luo Hao's proposition is to cooperate for mutual benefit.

This is the only way to maximize the value of the group.

However, to achieve this, one needs a voice.

In the current environment, the right to speak naturally equates to "strength".

Find Esdeath, defeat her, and then use the live streaming function in the group to intimidate the other group members and gain the power to speak based on strength.

That way, people will listen to what he says.

Only then can we gradually implement a win-win cooperation strategy and gain the trust of others step by step.

Of course, Luo Hao definitely doesn't plan to go directly to Esdeath right now.

Although he now possesses the life information of the Machine Type Analyzer and has also acquired all of its weapons, his strength is extraordinary, even surpassing that of Shubi.

But he dared not say that he could definitely defeat Esdeath.

There are quite a few factors to consider, such as the rewards for exploring Esdeath's world.

Although it is foreseeable that Esdeath's world level will not be high, it is precisely because it is not high that it is very likely that the difficulty of conquering her is very high.

The reward might be much better than Luo Hao's, and his strength might have made a leap forward. He didn't dare to say he was sure of victory, so he planned to develop for a while before going into battle.

That's safer.

Even if you're outsmarting thin air, you can still win more impressively and increase your influence within the group.

"Let me see……"

Luo Hao's gaze swept across the hellish scene around him. He needed to find the Devil Fruit user who had appeared in the eyes of "Number Four".

He wants to conduct an experiment.

Let's see if Devil Fruits, and even their owners, can be used to collect information from the Life Catalog and thus change themselves.

Since he wasn't going to eat it directly, the first choice didn't really matter; it was just an experiment.

The principle of proximity naturally applies.

save trouble.

"found it!"

Luo Hao walked to a piece of ice, in which a werewolf was baring its teeth and staring menacingly ahead.

In reality, this guy's body is not dead yet, or rather, not completely dead. Although his brain cells have been completely destroyed, his body cells still retain vitality, so the power of the Devil Fruit within him will not leave.

This situation made Luo Hao sigh inwardly, "I'm lucky."

He raised his arm and thrust it forward, piercing the hard ice like a spear and embedding it into the werewolf's body.

A warm current emanated from the catalogue of life on my chest.

It's started!

Chapter 7: The Hunt Begins

"What kind of design is this, Cyber ​​Wolverine?"

The thick ice crystals reflected Luo Hao's current form: a werewolf over two meters tall. However, compared to the previous user of the Wolf-Wolf Fruit, Luo Hao's form was quite unusual.

His entire body seemed to be covered in steel, and every hair shimmered with a high-tech light and shadow, making him look like a werewolf robot that had stepped out of a cyberpunk world.

This is precisely the benefit gained from replicating and synthesizing the life information of the Wolf-Wolf Fruit user.

The power of the Wolf-Wolf Fruit, combined with some characteristics of the Mighty Race, gave rise to this mechanical wolf form.

This form greatly enhances Luo Hao's strength and speed, making him more agile and ferocious.

Of course, it's not very meaningful.

The mechanical exterior rapidly contracted, transforming into "spirit power" and returning to Luo Hao's body.

This thing is a product of "localization" after simulating the life information of the machine race. It is somewhat similar to the genetic weapons commonly seen in science fiction novels. When needed, it will activate the power of the genes to unfold it, and normally it will be hidden in the genes.

It has multiple forms; the mechanical wolf is formed by combining its power with that of the Wolf-Wolf Fruit.

As for this so-called mechanical wolf form, Luo Hao probably won't appear again in the future. The reason is simple: it's just an ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit with little value.

After transforming, there is basically no increase in combat power.

Its greatest value lies in telling Luo Hao that Devil Fruits and even Devil Fruit users can be absorbed.

Next, Luo Hao naturally went back to find more and better Devil Fruits.

This so-called Wolf-Wolf Fruit is irrelevant.

"Skypiea, Marine Headquarters, Impel Down, the New World..."

These are all Luo Hao's targets, the most important of which is Impel Down, where countless vicious criminals are imprisoned, and there are quite a few Devil Fruit users as well.

If Luo Hao takes this down, he'll definitely become rich overnight.

However, this place is quite close to the Navy Headquarters, so Luo Hao needs to go out and find out more before making a decision.

Consider the current stage of the pandemic and the headquarters' defensive capabilities.

Otherwise, if they rashly attack Impel Down, they might run into Kizaru, the Flash who ate the Sneaky Fruit, and get bogged down, attracting an attack from multiple admirals.

So far, Luo Hao's self-assessment (conservatively speaking) is roughly that of a Yonko (Four Emperors), and he's already having a headache from being besieged by multiple Admirals and even the future Fleet Admiral.

"Let's go out and gather some intelligence first!"

Powered by his spiritual energy, Luo Hao's mechanical wingsuit unfurled behind him, propelling him forward like a rocket.

The air exploded, leaving a striking white shockwave behind Luo Hao.

Its speed accelerated to twenty times the speed of sound in a short period of time, and at the same time, it deployed the observation equipment of the machine gun and searched the surrounding towns.

Luo Hao wasn't looking for a village, but a town. His goal was information. Information from villages was too congested, and while towns might be delayed, they were still much more comprehensive than villages.

"found it!"

Using the observation equipment of the machine gun, Luo Hao successfully located a town of considerable size. He immediately activated his stealth ability, quietly landed in an alley, deactivated it, and silently blended into the town.

Luo Hao had some of this world's currency in the cabins of the two pirate groups Esdeath had dealt with.

Esdeath certainly took some as well, but not all of it. She only took all the paper money, leaving the rest of the gold and silver jewelry behind.

They probably felt it would be troublesome to bring along.

This is perfect for Luo Hao.

He possesses the storage weaponry of a Mecha-type, capable of easily storing these gold and silver jewels. Although their value is unknown, it should last him a long time, barring the purchase of rare items like Devil Fruits.

He randomly asked someone at a pawn shop or similar place and exchanged all his gold and silver jewelry for approximately thirty million Berries.

Luo Hao knew he had definitely been tricked, but he couldn't be bothered to argue with these people over such a small matter.

I just took advantage of this opportunity to get the latest newspaper articles.

After confirming the current timeline, it's about four years after the execution of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King.

"As expected, this has caused quite a stir!"

Luo Hao looked at the newspaper, and the headline on the first page was information about his "group friends".

[The Ice Demon slaughters across the North Sea, distribution 192.]

Attached is a photo.

A frozen naval branch.

"Oh... I was thinking she might join the Navy! Now that's impossible..."

Luo Hao chuckled.

Given Esdeath's personality, there's a high possibility she'll join the Navy, as that would allow her to use the Navy's intelligence and identity to conquer all sides.

However, now that a naval branch has been destroyed, the navy will never accept her again, no matter what.

As for the cause of the incident?

Luo Hao speculated that it was probably because the branch leader was corrupt and had lustful thoughts about Esdeath, which angered the woman.
