Pirates' Max Level System

"Oh, you are so confident that you can kill me."

The same murderous aura emanated from Doflamingo, and the two murderous auras collided in the air, leaving a visible distortion band in space.

"Then you'd better open your eyes and watch carefully." As he spoke, Orochimaru's eyes became colder and the murderous intent he emitted became more fierce. The twisted belt extended several meters in the direction of Doflamingo.

"Then I'm really looking forward to it."

Doflamingo's expression changed slightly. This was his first time losing a duel of killing intent. He tried to deny it, but it was no use. The distortion zone caused by the collision of killing intent was slowly moving towards him.

With a slight movement of his right index finger, Doflamingo controlled the clone puppet to attack Orochimaru.

Hundreds of threads flew out from the dolls, trapping Orochimaru from all sides. These threads tangled and intertwined like a twisting tornado of threads.

Then, the threads instantly gathered, strangling Orochimaru. The threads continued to spin and tighten, squeezing the flesh from Orochimaru. Red blood flowed from the gaps between the threads, staining the ground red.

The killing process was easier than one might imagine, which made Doflamingo even more cautious. Orochimaru was not someone who could be killed so easily.

The strings binding Orochimaru slowly unraveled, transforming him into a puppet. The strangled "Orochimaru" revealed his true identity: a researcher from the Don Quixote family, who had been located near HZ-09.

Chapter 676: Release the Curse

It is not just inanimate objects like stones and wood that can be used as substitutes in the Stand Technique. As long as the technology is up to standard, humans and animals are also included.

Orochimaru, who has reached the maximum level of a technical geek, obviously has no shortage of skills.

The unlucky guy who was replaced by Orochimaru only felt his eyes blurred, and then he faced a fate that he could not bear at his age.

With his body covered in comminuted fractures and a bloody mess, this unlucky guy is definitely not going to survive.

"You're really ruthless, Doflamingo."

After his unlucky appearance was noticed, Orochimaru also walked out from the shadows to the glass jar numbered HZ-09. The fingers of his right hand gently tapped the glass jar. Through the mask, Orochimaru's snake eyes glanced at numbered HZ-09, and his eyes met his own.

A shiver involuntarily spread throughout HZ-09's body. At this moment, he remembered the fear of being dominated by Orochimaru on the experimental table.

Orochimaru pressed his fingers against the glass jar, and as his fingers sank deeper and deeper, the cracks spread out like a spider web.

"On the way here just now, I had a question I wanted to ask you."

Orochimaru said calmly, his tone as calm as a chat.

"I have given you this power. Whether it's money, power, or the chance for revenge, whatever comes will follow. Why can't you be patient? Why betray me? I'm your benefactor."

Knowing that Orochimaru would never let her go, HZ-09 gave up the unrealistic idea of ​​begging for mercy.

As the first experimental subject to betray Orochimaru, HZ-09 still had some courage. He hurriedly suppressed his fear and cursed through the glass jar:

"My benefactor, stop joking. That monstrous appearance is a favor you've done us. We're just your guinea pigs. Without us, another group of people would have become victims of your experiments. And the death of Number Three wasn't an accident, was it?"

Orochimaru wasn't angry at all. Little white mice always put up a token resistance when they knew their fate, and he was used to it. Only a few could successfully resist like Sasuke did. However, when he heard about Subject No. 3 from HZ-09, Orochimaru was surprised.

As a reward for surprising him, Orochimaru applied a little more force to his fingers.

"You know quite a bit, but you're wrong about one thing. You are indeed special. Someone with a weak willpower wouldn't be able to survive this experiment."

"As for you calling the power I gave you a monster, that's even more ridiculous. There's no such thing as gaining without giving. I think Dover-kun agrees with me."

Doflamingo hadn't expected that Orochimaru and HZ-09 would suddenly bring up the topic of him while chatting. However, he was also happy to buy time with Orochimaru.

Ever since Orochimaru appeared next to HZ-09, Doflamingo had lost the upper hand. Because of HZ-09's betrayal, the Donquixote family had already torn relations with Orochimaru, the mysterious force. If they lost HZ-09, the experimental subject, it would be a loss.

If he hadn't been worried about Orochimaru recklessly killing someone, Doflamingo would have rushed up to fight him. Even so, Doflamingo still used the time when Orochimaru and HZ-09 were talking to deploy his troops and surround Orochimaru.

"Yes, there is no free lunch in the world. If I had known that my partner's ideas were so naive, I would never have chosen him." Doflamingo spread his hands and said helplessly.

Don't choose? Orochimaru won't believe Doflamingo's lies. Such a gullible guy, Doflamingo is likely to deceive him.

"Come to think of it, have we met before? I always feel like I've seen you somewhere."

Since he had joined the topic, Doflamingo simply continued chatting with Orochimaru to buy more time.

Doflamingo wasn't completely lying to Orochimaru; he'd been suspicious of the identity of this mysterious force from the start. The main reason was the appearance of the Sea Curse experiment subjects after their transformation, and the black flame-like markings that covered their bodies during the transformation, which looked too much like the small pills given to them by some force.

The Dynasul family and the people of the Germa Kingdom were too far away from the New World to know about the small pill. But since Doflamingo had a bottle of it, how could he not be suspicious?

It would be a stretch to say that this similarity is simply luck.

After a pause, Orochimaru said, "Guess."

Guess what, the audience who were looking forward to it before almost lost it. The style is totally wrong, brother, you got the wrong script, you are a perverted scientist, how can you be playful?

Orochimaru had no intention of hiding his identity. Even if it was exposed, so what? My Liuyun Palace has intervened in the North Sea. What can you do to me? He only endured it because of Qin Luo's order.

Otherwise, Orochimaru would have taken out the Ryukumo Palace's mark and slapped it in Doflamingo's face. "Do you still want the antidote? Sure, just lie down on the test bench and let me give you a shot. I have a new idea but I'm just in need of a healthy guinea pig."

At the same time, this also proves one thing: optimism is really contagious. As long as you spend a long time with optimists like Feidan and Roger, you will find that it is really fun to be naughty.

"Mr. Dover, you are a smart man. It's okay for you to guess some of his thoughts in your mind, but it's inappropriate to say them out loud." Orochimaru added.

Haha, if Doflamingo was just guessing before, now he is 70 to 80 percent sure that that force has intervened, and Orochimaru is their representative.

There was a crackling sound, and the conversation ended there. The glass jar shattered into pieces, revealing the number HZ-09 inside.

Doflamingo's arrangements were not yet complete, but now he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

"Stop him and rescue him."

Doflamingo gave the order, and numerous sniper rifles flashed a flash of light, shooting towards Orochimaru. He also used his fastest bullet line to block Orochimaru and the number HZ-09.

Orochimaru casually built an earth wall to surround him and HZ-09, and ignored the attacks.

He picked up HZ-09 from the ground and said, "Since you call that form a monster, then I will punish you by making you a monster forever."

Orochimaru placed his right palm on the curse seal on the back of HZ-09's neck, and quickly formed a seal with his left hand. The curse seal emitted a bright light and its shape changed, and all the energy originally restrained in the curse seal was released.

"By the way, I have always been an honest and trustworthy person. I will do what I promised you." Of course, in his heart, Orochimaru added, if you can live to this day.

Chapter 677 Monster Rampage

A mere earth wall could not withstand the attacks of Doflamingo and the others, and it collapsed in less than a breath.

It was impossible for Orochimaru to not touch HZ-09, who was so close to him, even though Doflamingo and the others were attacking quickly enough. But HZ-09 couldn't be killed instantly by Orochimaru without any resistance.

In Doflamingo's opinion, after transforming, even if HZ-09 had to withstand a few fierce blows from Orochimaru, he could still hold on until their attacks reached him.

If Orochimaru didn't want to be hit, he had to keep a distance from HZ-09. Once the distance was increased, it would be difficult for Orochimaru to hurt HZ-09 in the hands of so many people.

Doflamingo just needs to ensure that HZ-09 is not a corpse when he rescues her. It doesn't matter whether it is a lively HZ-09 or a dying HZ-09.

According to this line of thought, Doflamingo's plan was certainly feasible. However, he probably didn't expect Orochimaru to use this method to deal with HZ-09, which was much more time-saving and labor-saving than killing him by force.

The earth wall collapsed, revealing Orochimaru and HZ-09 trapped inside. The scene made everyone feel weird.

The condition of patient number HZ-09 is very abnormal. Although he does not seem to be in any danger of life, he is swollen like a ball of flesh.

Orochimaru floated away, and those attacks didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

How could someone who had just threatened to kill him retreat so easily? He hadn't even taken HZ-09's life. Doflamingo frowned, realizing that things weren't going to go as planned.

Doflamingo's officers who weren't participating in the tournament—Diamante, Lao G, Mahabasi, Gladius, and the others—were rushing to HZ-09's side to protect her. The other officers, including Corazon, were rushing over after receiving the order.

"Wait, don't go over there." Doflamingo immediately stopped his men, and then shouted at Orochimaru: "What did you do to him." Doflamingo pointed at the number HZ-09.

"Well, that's what you see." Orochimaru didn't intend to answer, nor did he intend to leave. He was waiting for the big show to begin. With nothing else to do, Orochimaru threw a few sharp stones at the bloated HZ-09, splattering blood everywhere.

Doflamingo's officers looked at each other, unsure whether to protect HZ-09. If they did, they would have to be near him, which would violate Doflamingo's orders. If they didn't, HZ-09 might be stoned to death by Orochimaru.

The sudden burst of cursed energy caused HZ-09's transformation ability to lose control. The runaway energy transformed his body into a mass of irregular flesh, while also constantly destroying his consciousness. His human consciousness gradually disappeared, leaving only the instincts of a beast.

The damage caused by the stone became the last straw that broke the camel's back for HZ-09.

"No..." A loud cry was HZ-09's final words. Before he lost consciousness, HZ-09 stared intently at Doflamingo and the others, perhaps believing he could still be saved.

Eventually, the expanding flesh and blood swallowed up HZ-09's head, causing the tumor to grow even more rapidly.

It grew to a height of more than three meters, and the mass of flesh and blood, which could not be called a living thing at all, dried up like a deflated ball, and the flesh and blood became limp and turned into a flowing red liquid.

No one knew who started it, but the sound of swallowing echoed throughout the warehouse. With the exception of Orochimaru, who had anticipated this, Doflamingo and the others stared in amazement at the monster bred by the tumor.

When HZ-09 transforms normally, his entire body is covered in barbed armor, and his hands disappear, becoming two weapons with the tips of knight's lances. While the mutated monster still vaguely resembles HZ-09, everything about it has become even more hideous.

The brown exoskeleton armor was as sharp as a rock, with some blood-red liquid hanging on it. The barbs were concentrated on the back, each one as thick as an adult's arm, making it look like a giant human-shaped hedgehog.

The knight's two-handed spears were simply replaced with two giant stone spikes. Just looking at it, you can tell that this is a powerful weapon, and no one wants to be hit or touched by it.

As the first gift of its birth, the monster, once numbered HZ-09, began to attack the heavens, the earth, and the air. The giant stone cones in its hands slashed across, and the massive blast directly blew away the roof of the warehouse.

The flying debris hadn't even landed when the monster's hammer slammed into the ground. The warehouse's basement was instantly destroyed. As if that weren't enough, the monster, in its fury, even hammered the ground beneath its feet, causing it to collapse.

The vibrations spread outward from under the monster's feet, and the entire row of warehouses was reduced to ruins.

Orochimaru used Earth Escape to hide underground, but Doflamingo's men had no way to escape. At the critical moment, Doflamingo used the Thread-Thread Fruit to create several spider web walls to protect them, preventing them from being buried.

Doflamingo and the others broke free from the rubble. Immediately afterwards, the rubble at the monster's location flew into the sky, and the monster that had buried itself smashed the object above its head and emerged.

...0

The monster also realized that it was very stupid to keep hitting the ground, so he set his sights on Doflamingo and others.

Doflamingo and the others wanted to escape, but the monster was not going to give them the chance.

It pointed its back at Doflamingo and the others. In their horror, a white mist rose up, and the spikes on the monster's back were launched like missiles. After a burst of flying in the air, it brought down justice on Doflamingo and the others.

Doflamingo, Diamante, Lao G, Mahbais, Gladius and several other cadres each used their own skills to barely block most of the spikes, but some were still crushed to pieces by the spikes or fragments.

As soon as this round of attack ended, the monster was already approaching them with slow steps.

Doflamingo was also furious. This monster didn't want them to leave, and he wasn't going to leave either. Killing this monster and taking its body for research was the only thing on Doflamingo's mind at the moment.

"The Don Quixote family will never be threatened, not even by monsters. Kill it." Doflamingo's arrogance was clearly revealed.

"Yes, young master."

The avatar puppet was the first to go up under Doflamingo's command, followed closely by the officers Diamante, Lao G, Mahbais, and Gladius.

The monster had caused quite a stir, especially the earthquake just now, which had been felt throughout Calgary. Everyone, whether they were in the game or just wandering around, couldn't help but look towards the port.

Chapter 678: Control the Kite

Within a short while, all the forces received the rumor that a monster had appeared in the port.

Curious individuals immediately headed to the harbor to investigate. After all, a monster that hadn't appeared earlier or later, but had to appear during the martial arts tournament, had a strong sense of aversion. Many people sensed something was amiss.

However, it would take some time for these people to reach the port. At the port warehouse, the Don Quixote family was already in dire straits.

Doflamingo, controlling his own avatar puppet remotely, ran in the front, while he and four cadres, Diamante, Lao G, Mahbais, and Gladius, besieged the monster transformed by Subject No. 9 from five directions.

Two elastic threads shot out from the index fingers of the clone puppet's hands, and with two "clicks", they nailed into the monster's shoulders on both sides, barely breaking through the monster's stone-like armor and embedding the threads into it.

Although they had guessed that the monster's defense would be very high, the cadres of the Don Quixote family couldn't help but feel frustrated when they saw that Doflamingo's bullets could only barely break the defense and didn't even cause any damage. This meant that most of their methods were also unable to cause any harm to it.

Fear, frustration, these were human emotions, not the doll itself. Using the two elastic strings, it pulled with both hands, and the entire doll flew towards the monster.

Of course, this was something only a doll could do. Flying straight towards a monster was tantamount to seeking death.

As expected, the monster had long been annoyed with this "little bug" that had tied strings to him. The moment the doll approached, the monster struck twice with its two huge stone spikes.

The first blow, from the top, was a massive stone cone, knocking the doll out of its high-speed flight and hammering it into the ground, creating a human-shaped hole. The second blow, from the bottom up, the giant stone cone broke through the ruins and hammered the doll into the air along with some rocks that were unclear whether they came from the ruins or the ground.

The doll flew back even faster than it had come, crashing into the shattered warehouse walls and exploding into a mass of white streaks. If it had been Doflamingo himself, he would have been left with nothing but a pool of blood.

The four cadres of the Don Quixote family made up their minds that they must not be attacked head-on by the monster, otherwise they would not even have a complete corpse.

"Army flag." As soon as he approached the monster, Diamante used the ability of the Flying Fruit, and the ground within a certain range around him turned into a light and floating form like cloth.

The up-and-down rolling ground caused the running monster to fall because of losing its balance.

The attack power of the Floating Fruit is relatively weak, and many of Diamante's specialties cannot break the monster's defense. So from the beginning he was prepared to be the troublemaker, restraining the monster and preventing it from counterattacking.

Mahabas was ready. The user of the Ton Crush Fruit fell from the sky, multiplied his own weight ten thousand times, and hit the monster on the chest.

The struggling monster instantly collapsed, its upper body sunk deep into the earth, its legs flailing wildly in the air. Cracks appeared on the smooth armor on its chest, and the earth, like fluttering silk, was reduced to a pile of rags by the blow.

Diamante's "Army Flag" failed, but the rest of the control was about to come in. Doflamingo's puppet shattered, transforming into countless thin threads that burrowed into the ground, then emerged from the monster, binding its limbs tightly and pinning it to the ground. Mahabais took the opportunity to roll away from the monster.

It was a good opportunity. Gladius and Rao G, users of the Boom-Boom Fruit, looked at each other and used their strongest abilities.

One directly entered the secret form of the Diong Fist, formed a G-shaped palm, and pressed the "G" seal on the monster's chest. The other pressed his hands, expanded to the extreme, against the monster's head.

Two explosions followed, and a streak of black darted into the flames and smoke with lightning speed. Doflamingo had already prepared his ultimate move. He twisted a thin thread into a sharp blade, covered it with Armament Haki, and dealt a decisive blow to the monster pinned to the ground.

What Doflamingo wanted most was to nail the monster through the ground, and he was very confident in the sharp blade he had made.
